In the air above a large translucent disc engraved with flame patterns, flames suddenly erupted from within the tumbling flames. A hollow passageway appeared, and two figures passed through it like shooting stars before the passageway closed again in the blink of an eye.
The fiery array sealing this place was actually forcefully broken through by someone with great arts. The thousand-meter-tall fiery array didn't even have the slightest effect as it instantly pierced through to the end.
A charred figure fell onto the crystal clear disc, letting out a muffled groan.
Lao Bai's long hair fluttered in the wind, his white robes and plain green cloak fluttering in the wind. He slowly rotated and landed on the disc, his posture elegant and otherworldly.
The peerless figure that had previously broken through the formation with the force of a thunderbolt had actually become dim and pale at this moment. Like a phantom, he could not be seen clearly, giving off an abnormally weak feeling. He could only stare at the charred man on the ground and sigh slightly.
Miao Yi didn't know where he was. He didn't know how much time had passed since the torment that felt like years.
In any case, his skin was already charred like charcoal, and he no longer looked human. His undying will maintained the circulation of the weak transcendence energy in his body, and he was subconsciously using his arts to resist the high temperature to protect himself.
If Lao Bai hadn't saved him in time, even if he had been a little late, then it wouldn't just be his skin that was charred, but his entire body would have been burned to ashes. The palace of a Yao King with a cultivation at the Golden Lotus First Grade was not an easy place to break into. If anyone could break in, then it would be disastrous!
After falling to the ground, his nearly hazy consciousness instantly cleared up a little. He felt a cold sensation coming from the ground where he was lying on his side. As the cold entered his body, he gradually regained his consciousness.
He wanted to open his eyes to see where he was, but he didn't know that his eyelids had already been burned shut, leaving only a blurry slit between his eyes. He couldn't see anything clearly, and at the same time, he felt that his breathing wasn't smooth.
He forcefully opened his eyes. His eyes did open, but they were torn open. Fresh blood flowed freely, and it was a frightening sight.
"Ugh …" He let out a pained groan. He wanted to touch his eyes with his hand, but when he tugged on his arm, the charred skin on his elbow split open. He could see the fresh flesh under the skin, and blood was flowing out.
"En …" There was another painful groan. The pain of his body being torn apart was indescribable. He wanted to open his mouth, but he felt a tearing sensation coming from his mouth. Immediately, he didn't dare to move recklessly. It seemed that no matter where he moved, there would be a tearing sensation.
He released his magic power to check his surroundings, but the magic power in his body was too weak, and he couldn't check far. He couldn't find anything and couldn't figure out where he was.
In the end, he endured the intense pain in his eyes and slowly opened them. Fresh blood had smeared his eyes with a faint blood-red color, causing the world outside to be enveloped in a layer of red. He saw the crystal clear ground and the circulating sea of fire not far away. Most importantly, he clearly saw his current situation.
He no longer looked like a human and was simply a piece of charcoal. It was not difficult to understand what had happened to his body. He also understood why it hurt so much when he moved.
At this moment, his body's condition was gradually weakening. He was already heavily injured by Bai Ziliang's big black seal, and now he had a broken leg. His body's condition was already terrible, and he knew what he needed the most right now. He needed something that could save his life, and he couldn't delay it any longer!
"Ugh …" He let out a pained groan. Using all the transcendence energy in his body, he summoned the ninety-thousand-year-old Glorious Star immortal herb from his storage bangle. The act of forcefully grabbing onto the immortal herb caused the charred skin on his fingers to split open, revealing his flesh. It bled again.
Enduring the intense pain, he pulled his hand back. The charred skin on his elbow tore open and bled. After paying a huge price, he finally placed the Glorious Star immortal herb, which was shrouded in a hazy halo of starlight, in front of his nose. Using a weak layer of transcendence energy to envelop the immortal herb, he took a light breath, and a glimmering nebula entered his nostril, which only had one hole left, and was still almost burnt.
As the nebula entered his nostril and entered his lungs, it immediately brought him a cool and comfortable feeling. For someone like Miao Yi who had suffered so much, this wonderful feeling made him feel like he was walking on clouds.
He lay there, not daring to move. He laid there motionlessly, greedily absorbing the nebula into his body, without stopping. To him, this was the last thing he could rely on to preserve his life.
He was glad that he didn't use this last thing to preserve his life when he was in trouble back then. Now, it really came in handy. Otherwise, he would really be dead.
Little did he know, that year, Lao Bai had almost personally taken care of Yao Ruoxian in order to help him preserve this last thing to preserve his life. It was all because Yao Ruoxian coveted this immortal herb, and wanted to take it for himself.
Yao Ruoxian couldn't help but be tempted. No one had ever seen a Glorious Star immortal herb of such size.
Moreover, it was simply a joke and unheard of. The Glorious Star immortal herb actually bore immortal fruits. One could imagine its medicinal effects. No matter how heavily injured one was, as long as one still had a single breath left, one could probably use this immortal herb to save their life. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that one could be reborn. How could Yao Ruoxian not be tempted?
In reality, it could indeed be reborn. Actually, Miao Yi's original body wasn't suitable for cultivation. It was Lao Bai who took out a Glorious Star immortal herb with even stronger medicinal effects. The fruit it bore was as red as a ruby, unlike this one, which was only slightly red. He forcefully helped Miao Yi to be reborn, giving Miao Yi the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation.
At this moment, seeing Miao Yi forcefully take out the Glorious Star immortal herb to absorb, Lao Bai, who had been watching silently from the side, finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Miao Yi's life had been pulled back from the gates of hell.
With his two strands of white hair fluttering in the wind, he raised his head to look at the roiling flames above his head. He calmly said, "I didn't want to save you at first, but seeing that I didn't save that woman last time, I'll make an exception this time. If you ever have the chance to find out the truth in the future, it wouldn't be right if you still hate me for not saving you because of that woman's death."
As soon as he finished speaking, his almost illusory figure became even more ethereal. The dark green bead on Miao Yi's neck flashed with a dim light, and Lao Bai's figure completely disappeared.
Miao Yi would never have imagined that Lao Bai would make an exception to save him this time because of Qi Xiuhong's death. It was actually because he didn't save Qi Xiuhong back then that he would save Miao Yi this time. In other words, it could be said that Qi Xiuhong had used her life in exchange for Miao Yi's.
However, he couldn't say it like that. Actually, Lao Bai could have chosen not to save either of them. What did Qi Xiuhong's life or death have to do with him?
There were so many living beings in this world, and there were so many people he didn't even know. He couldn't save them all. He couldn't just run out and save whoever Miao Yi liked. He didn't appear by Miao Yi's side just to protect Miao Yi's woman. If he really did that, what would he, Lao Bai, become?
In this world of underground fire, the rise and fall of the sun, moon, and stars in the outside world were unknown.
Time flew by. As Miao Yi absorbed the immortal herb Starlight faster and faster, it also proved that his body's functions were rapidly recovering. The miraculous effects of the healing panacea of the cultivation world once again showed itself. The surface of his charred body was already gradually cracking, but there was no bleeding, and no pain.
After an unknown amount of time, a cracking sound could be heard from Miao Yi's lower body. The charred shell covering the wound on his severed leg cracked and fell to the ground, revealing the tender skin of a newborn baby on his thigh. However, at the wound on his severed leg, there were wriggling granules that were gradually growing.
This method of forcefully growing the charcoal at a rapid rate was so clear that it was excruciating. Miao Yi clenched his fists in agony, his knuckles cracking as he curled up his body and shivered. As a result, the cracked charcoal shells on his body began to fall off one after another.
The appearance of his body was brand new. His eyebrows were wrinkled from the pain, and his head was now covered with long, glossy black hair. It was even longer than the hair that had been completely burned off.
The wound on his severed leg was slowly growing longer. Miao Yi, who was enduring the immense pain, opened his eyes to look at it from time to time. As long as he could recover, he could endure this kind of pain. He had even experienced the hell-like pain when he fell into the sea of fire. Why would he be afraid of this little bit of pain? However, the torment brought about by this pain was a little too long.
After a full two days, the immortal herb in Miao Yi's hand had become wrinkled and soft. The halo of starlight on the surface of the immortal herb had become faint.
Looking at the wound on his severed leg, it had already grown up to his ankle. It would be a joke if the medicine's effects couldn't be maintained now. Miao Yi quickly crumpled the wrinkled immortal herb into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed on it a few times and found it to be sweet and tasty. He immediately swallowed it.
Afraid that the medicine's effects wouldn't be enough, Miao Yi took out a slightly red immortal fruit from his storage bangle and bit into it. It was sweet and juicy, truly a delicacy of the world. The fragrance filled his mouth along with the cool flesh of the fruit slid down into his stomach. After he finished eating the entire immortal fruit, he soon felt that even his newly tender pores were emitting a delicate fragrance. He felt refreshed, and his exhausted spirit from the torment seemed to be instantly rejuvenated to its peak state. As expected of an immortal fruit.
As the immortal fruit entered his stomach, the slow growth of his severed leg increased once again, causing Miao Yi to tremble in pain once more.
"Ahhh! I'm still alive! I'm still alive … "
A day later, Miao Yi, who had all four limbs intact, shamelessly stretched out his arms and roared towards the sky, his expression filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.
His body was full of muscles, and his physique and appearance were the same as before. The only difference was that his newly grown skin was too fair. It was as fair as jade, even more so than a woman's. It would still take some time for it to completely recover.
After venting his frustrations to his heart's content, he took out a set of clothes from his storage bangle and put them on. After tidying himself up, he began to examine his surroundings.
He discovered that he was actually outside a floating palace. The entire palace was like a crystal palace. What was even more shocking was that such a huge palace could actually float in the middle of a sea of fire. From top to bottom, as well as all four sides, it was surrounded by raging flames. However, the raging flames seemed to be unable to get close to any part of the crystal palace. No matter how much they tumbled, they always maintained a certain distance.
