The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 572, The Dark World

Inside the rock cave, Hua Changxi stood frozen, motionless, like a solidified statue.

Before her floated an infant, its skin as white and smooth as jade, its features exactly like hers.

Previously, the nascent soul floated above the dantian and sea of ​​qi, and could only be explored with divine sense. The feeling was completely different from seeing it face to face now.

The nascent soul was exquisitely beautiful, but Hua Changxi had no mood to appreciate it at the moment.

There was nothing she could do; the separation of the nascent soul from her body happened too suddenly, catching her completely off guard and leaving her no time to react.

Now, two identical faces, one large and one small, gaze at each other across the distance, their eyes meeting.

The large eyes were filled with fear and unease about the unknown; while the infant's eyes were pure and untouched by any dust, clear as a mirror, as if they could reflect everything in the world.

Hua Changxi tried to regain control of her body, but her limbs remained unresponsive and she could not move. After several attempts, her unease grew, and her anxiety was evident in her eyes.

Gradually, the fear reflected in the Nascent Soul's clear eyes grew more and more intense.

As a result, the black flame on the Nascent Soul's heart began to flicker and rise, spreading outward and upward in wisps.

"Ho~"

The black flames continued to expand and grow stronger.

The nascent soul, which had been innocent and naive just moments before, began to show signs of change. By the time Hua Changxi noticed, the nascent soul's face was already filled with a fierce aura.

The next moment, the nascent soul leaped out, soaring through the air and crashing into everything around it, destroying everything in its path.

The sudden and shocking change left Hua Changxi utterly astonished.

what happened?

Why would a Nascent Soul suddenly go berserk?

Don't underestimate the power of a nascent soul just because it's a tiny infant; its destructive force is astonishing.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The nascent soul continuously flung fireballs in all directions, triggering explosions of fire spiritual energy.

This tiny person unleashed a devastating force.

Hua Changxi was not pleasantly surprised by the Nascent Soul cultivator's formidable strength; instead, she was somewhat horrified.

She discovered that she shared all her senses and feelings with the nascent soul, but she was unable to control the nascent soul's behavior.

fear!

She clearly sensed the fear emanating from the nascent soul.

Why do Nascent Soul cultivators experience fear?

At first, Hua Changxi was completely confused, but when she noticed that the originally calm black flame on the Nascent Soul's heart was now swaying violently and rising and growing larger, she was suddenly startled.

Could the unusual movement of the black flames have affected the Nascent Soul?

Black Flame was clearly related to her emotional fluctuations.

Realizing this, without having time to think it through carefully, Hua Changxi quickly composed herself and silently recited the Mind-Cleansing Mantra.

As the incantation flowed, the unease and anxiety in his heart gradually subsided. The black flames ran out of fuel and stopped expanding, and the restless nascent soul also gradually calmed down.

However, compared to his previous innocence, the nascent soul was now shrouded in a gloomy aura.

Hua Changxi confirmed that the Nascent Soul's madness was caused by her unease and anxiety. She breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression remained somewhat grave.

Seeing the gloomy appearance of the Nascent Soul, her heart sank even further. Her intuition told her that this change in the Nascent Soul was not a good sign. Only after suppressing the Nascent Soul did Hua Changxi have the peace of mind to carefully observe her surroundings.

She had thought that the volcanic rock cave would be in ruins after the destruction caused by the Nascent Soul, but she found that the rocks and ground that she had seen before, which had been shattered by the Nascent Soul, had actually been restored to their original state.

"This"

Having already conquered seven blessed lands and witnessed their unique functions, Hua Changxi was only surprised for a moment before calmly accepting it.

Clearly, the volcanic rock cave has the ability to repair itself.

Looking into the distance, Hua Changxi truly felt the magnificent aura of this blessed land.

The volcanic rock caves are carved into the smooth and clean volcanic rock walls, with red rock layers stretching for thousands of miles and rock walls as hard as refined gold.

Tens of thousands of caves of varying sizes are carved into the rock face.

Each cave entrance was enveloped in a blazing crimson mist, the fiery halo sealing the entrance layer by layer. The interior was obscured by the red light, and all that could be seen was a hazy, fiery red, making it impossible to discern anything inside.

Hua Changxi's gaze slowly wandered among the grottoes, but what she didn't notice was that the Nascent Soul's gaze also moved in sync with hers, as if it were sharing the same pair of eyes.

When the nascent soul's gaze fell on a certain grotto, its eyes suddenly lit up, as if it had discovered something interesting.

It stretched out its tiny finger, pointed in that direction, and cried out, "Ah ah ah!"

Hua Changxi looked at Yuan Ying with some surprise. She understood what Yuan Ying meant—Yuan Ying wanted to go to the cave, but she couldn't move.

Seeing that she didn't move, the Nascent Soul got angry.

Then, Hua Changxi saw the black flames on the Nascent Soul's heart flicker and show signs of rising.

Hua Changxi was startled. Without waiting for the Nascent Soul to understand, she quickly said, "I can't move. I can't go over there."

The anger on Yuan Ying's face paused, then he ran up to her, stretched out his smooth, jade-like hand and firmly grasped her fingertips, pulling her towards the cave without saying a word.

Then, Hua Changxi followed.

My body can move again!!!

Hua Changxi's pupils dilated as she stared in shock at the nascent soul pulling her.

Can a Nascent Soul control her body?

Hua Changxi immediately sensed her body and found that the stiffness had completely disappeared, and she could move her limbs freely.

Afterwards, amidst the absurdity of "her body being controlled by the Nascent Soul," Hua Changxi, with a blank expression, allowed the Nascent Soul to lead her step by step into a stone cave filled with red light.

Upon entering the grotto, the surrounding light immediately dimmed, as if entering a pitch-black world.

Hua Changxi's heart sank suddenly; the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined.

Before entering, she clearly saw flames swirling around the cave entrance. She had assumed that the inside of the grotto, even if it wasn't ablaze with flames, would be filled with firelight. In any case, it should be a 'world of fire'.

But now, although the air is filled with rich fire elemental energy, the world is shrouded in endless darkness.

No, it wasn't entirely a dark world. In the pitch black, there were specks of white light twinkling, like stars.

However, those white rays were very small and not many in number, so they had little effect in this dark world and could be almost ignored.

This doesn't feel like a world of fire; it's more like the Netherworld. Being here, you feel a sense of oppression, darkness, and chaos.

Even knowing that the Fire Rock Cave was one of the twelve grotto heavens of Nanxiang City and that what they were experiencing might be some kind of test, Hua Changxi did not want to stay here any longer. By the faint white light, she looked at the Nascent Soul and wanted to convey her desire to leave.

However, when she saw the appearance of the nascent soul, horror immediately filled her face.

The originally exquisite, pure, and flawless nascent soul had transformed into a tiny black figure. (End of Chapter)
