My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1298 - 1219: Dao Reveals Her True Origins!

As Qin Liuxi’s palm strike carried Spiritual Power and blasted towards the Stone Cave, a dark shadow was forced out by her.

Upon seeing that shadow, she didn’t even pause for a moment, not uttering a single word, she charged at him with speed, precision, and fierceness. The opposite party clearly did not anticipate her to strike without a word, and quickly maneuvered away.

Master Taicheng had already tensed up when the shadow appeared, his aura was unprecedentedly strong.

The dark shadow before him, hidden within the Stone Cave, he did not even perceive a hint, neither aware when it was already there, while its aura was chilling.

This existence is even more terrifying and difficult to handle than the Ghost.

Could it be...

Master Taicheng’s pupils shrunk, clutching his magic treasure, thinking whether calling for help would be timely.

Qin Liuxi did not succeed with the initial strike, chased after him, meanwhile, holding the Sanqing Bell, infused her mind into the bell, the bell sound vibrated, akin to ice blades piercing bone, flying towards him.

The sound attack resembled a knife, each strike lethal.

Si Luo let out a sinister laugh, forming seals with both hands, laying a defensive Barrier around himself, rapidly pinching a Spell, uttering a breaking word from his mouth.

The Sanqing Bell trembled, the sound attack dispersed.

Qin Liuxi’s gaze was icy cool, her figure flashed, turning into lightning, appearing before him, striking down the Vajra Ruler.

Crack.

The defensive Barrier was broken by her, Si Luo blocked her Vajra Ruler, saying: "The broken ruler of Ksitigarbha, you seem to handle it smoothly, but is it useful?"

"If it’s useless, then how about this." Qin Liuxi somehow took out the silver needle, targeting several major acupoints on his body with it.

Si Luo’s body stiffened, just about to use Telekinesis to expel them.

Whoosh.

Yet those few Flying Needles had already entered his body, darting towards various meridians, those needles, scorching and hot like serpentine lava, seemingly set to incinerate from within.

Si Luo was somewhat surprised, but not angry, dodged her attack again, smiling and asking: "You have quite a lot of tricks, what’s the deal with this needle?"

An ordinary silver needle definitely wouldn’t be like this, moving swiftly within the body post entry, it’s apparent that she has refined this needle.

Qin Liuxi said: "Questions lead to answers, you ask and I answer, I ask and you answer?"

"Sure."

"This Array Eye is not an Array Eye, was this setup specifically designed for me?" Qin Liuxi spoke, throwing another Spell over.

"Correct." Si Luo countered back, also casting a Thunder Spell: "It’s impolite not to reciprocate. This teaches you to speak with respect and not resort to petty tricks when speaking to adults."

Boom.

Qin Liuxi was struck accurately, she wrapped herself in garments, licking the blood from her lips, stating: "Do you intend to kill me? If so, wouldn’t it be simpler?"

"Have you heard the saying, how lonely is invincibility. A battle without opponents is dull and uninteresting; before I become a god, watching you dramatically struggle, isn’t it a form of entertainment and relief." Si Luo chuckled: "Using a Ghost to entice you here isn’t to kill you, merely to verify something."

"What is it?" Qin Liuxi frowned.

Si Luo gazed at her: "These words are difficult to express."

"Then let’s not say anymore, let’s fight!" Qin Liuxi summoned the Soul Hook Chain.

Si Luo did not dodge, grabbing the Soul Hook Chain, saying: "You truly match your own nature, fiery all over, the Red Lotus Karma Fire indeed burns fiercely."

Qin Liuxi’s brows twitched, eyes igniting into two flames: "What do you mean by this?"

"In these nearly thousand years no one has ascended, indicating that Spiritual Energy is insufficient in this world, Spirit Plant and Spiritual Objects are not as potent as those in eras of immortal cultivation, relying solely on ordinary cultivation, how can one reach the threshold of Ascension? Taoist Sect’s Taoists can cultivate till hundreds of years old, which is already considered perpetual life, reaching the top, but becoming immortal—how is that possible?"

Qin Liuxi sneered: "If that’s the case, how dare you dream of Ascending and becoming a god?"

Si Luo rarely faltered, stating: "I am me; how can mere ants compare to me."

"Sounds like you are denying yourself as something." Qin Liuxi sneered softly: "Indeed, if you were something, you wouldn’t treat people as disposable, if you were a person, you wouldn’t regard all living things as ants, randomly killing them, if you were a person, you wouldn’t need to borrow a shell to feel a heartbeat."

Si Luo’s gaze turned cold: "Sharp tongued. You say this as if you believe you are the Righteous Path, the Savior of all living things? To put it bluntly, you are merely like me."

"Thanks, but there’s no need to elevate me; I’m not as vicious as you!"

Si Luo laughed heartily, pointing at her: "Vicious? Anyone in this world can call me vicious, but you don’t have the right."

Qin Liuxi’s eyes half-closed, heart pounding wildly.

Si Luo looked at her, saying: "You, by a teacher of the Taoist Sect, know of Hong Meng, do you know of the Ten Strange Fires of Ancient Times?"

"Legend has it, among the Ten Strange Fires, the Red Lotus Karma Fire since its inception, its Fire Seed’s Spiritual Wisdom has never been taught, mischievous yet clever, its flame embodies decisive killing energy, leaving no soul, able to burn all sins. The Fire Seed fell into the Underworld, free from restraints, flames born uncontrollable, defiant in departure, incinerating countless souls, destroying the Underworld, later escaping the Yin Realm, descending into the mortal world, all living things plunged into hellfire, spanning across miles, causing mass death, Heavenly Dao collapsed, sins immeasurable."

Si Luo looked at her with pity, saying: "God’s wrath extracts the Fire Seed’s soul, sentenced to ten reincarnations, tasting human sorrow, cultivating countless merit, to atone for the sins of destruction."

This is the ninth life.

Qin Liuxi’s mind surfaced these five words, face paper white, only that intelligent pair of eyes ignited two small red lotuses, witnessing a scene.

In the Red Lotus Sea of Fire, the flames surged into the sky, coloring the entire world red, countless living things in the sea of fire did not even have time to emit a cry before turning to ashes, obliterated within the flames.

Karma Fire burnt the world, mortal earth perished, Heavenly Dao crumbled, a small world vanished within the three thousand great worlds, like a drop in the ocean, no more vitality.

The Red Lotus Fire Seed was summoned by God, extracting the Fire Seed’s soul, whipping a thousand times, then entering ten reincarnations, bearing the Savior’s responsibility, to atone for the sins of destruction.

Qin Liuxi dreamily knelt on an extremely frigid void, someone spoke to her from the Void.

Who, who said this?

Si Luo said: "Remember it now? You are that Red Lotus Fire Seed, otherwise how could you, a mere Taoist, cultivate an Abnormal Fire within? Destruction, you executed it sooner and more ruthlessly than I did, how do you possess the qualification to criticize me?"

No, I am not.

Qin Liuxi enraged, flames erupted beneath her feet, encasing her.

That’s the scorching yet dominantly flourishing Red Lotus Flames.

The fire is her, she is the fire.

Master Taicheng, who was lying in ambush to launch a sneak attack on Si Luo, heard this word, gazing at her with shock, stiffened all over.

He heard the most frightening secret in this world, wouldn’t these two obliterate him to keep him silent?
