Hell Emperor.

Chapter 476 Ye Jie - Epiphany
The fire spread and everyone retreated with fear. Given the nature of the Samadhi Fire, once it was stained with a spark, it would not stop until the entire body was completely burned.

Ye Jie's struggle slowed down since some point, as if he had lost all his strength. He sat down in the sea of ​​fire, allowing the blazing true fire to envelop his entire body, without moving a single movement.

Seeing this, Nan Linghe was so anxious that she almost cried. If she hadn't been held back by Li Fei'e, Hong Gaitou and others, she would have rushed into the sea of ​​fire no matter what, and hugged Ye Jie tightly, whose body was burnt and whose soul was about to dissipate, to share the pain.

"What should I do? Help him..."

Feeling the increasingly weak breath from Ye Jie, Nan Linghe covered her mouth, and a layer of mist appeared in her bright eyes.

Shen Qingge wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, his cold eyes showing some regret: "It's useless. Water, dust, no method can put out this Samadhi True Fire. This fire is the heart fire that burns Samadhi directly. It is not like ordinary fire at all... I should have tried to stop Ajie just now, and should not have let him try this Divine Fire Pill."

"Can we just watch? You are the one who made this elixir, Sister Yaoyin, you better think of a solution quickly!"

Su Miao was also extremely anxious. She threw aside her usual disdain and instead hurriedly urged Yao Yin to help her.

Yao Yin's answer also made everyone feel even more depressed:
"If I could dissolve this Samadhi True Fire, I wouldn't have left the Divine Fire Pill for so long, and I wouldn't have dared to take it... At this point, it all depends on Palace Master Ye's own luck, whether he can survive this disaster."

Li Ba was extremely worried and accused, "This is all your fault! If you hadn't taken out the Divine Fire Pill, Brother Jie wouldn't have been in danger. It's you who caused him to become like this..."

Yao Yin did not answer, her eyes remained fixed on Ye Jie, a complex look appeared in the depths of her pupils, with worry and self-blame in them:
"Sure enough, the effect of the Divine Fire Pill is still too strong. Even I can't bear the backlash, so how can Palace Master Ye endure it..."

"Wait a minute, look!"

Just when everyone was heartbroken and at a loss, Xie Xinyu's exclamation broke the gloomy and lost atmosphere.

Everyone looked up, and the scene before them made them open their eyes wide. They saw that the Samadhi True Fire, which was constantly surging, gradually became smaller and smaller, and then began to shrink towards the center.

Ye Jie sat cross-legged in the center of the sea of ​​fire. Most of his melted body looked like a pool of scattered wax, and his red skin was like a red-hot iron block, but his body remained motionless and his expression was more focused than ever before.

At this moment, the heat and scorching of the real fire, the discussions and exclamations of the crowd, the noise and bustle of the world, all left him. His heart was empty, his mind was clear, and he actually entered a special state in the sea of ​​fire.

Li Fei'e opened his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief: "Is that... a state of enlightenment? Under the burning of the Samadhi True Fire, his entire body was melted, and he was still able to enter a state of enlightenment? How is this possible..."

Shen Qingge watched carefully and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "In the state of enlightenment, the burning of the true fire stopped, and the situation did not deteriorate further. If it can continue, it may be possible to survive this disaster."

Hua Xiaomei was a little surprised: "I have only seen sudden enlightenment in those rare geniuses, such as sister Xia Wei. Brother Jie can have a sudden enlightenment at this moment, could it be that he is also a hidden genius?"

Yao Yin seemed to have thought of something and reminded, "No... it should be the effect of the Divine Fire Pill. The Divine Fire Pill contains the understanding of the ultimate avenue, which is also of great benefit to immortals at the sixth or seventh level. Perhaps it is because of this that it can help Palace Master Ye enter the state of enlightenment..."

Before Yao Yin finished speaking, a majestic and vast true meaning of the Tao realm emanated from Ye Jie, enveloping everyone around him.

Li Fei'e's eyes trembled, and she seemed a little absent-minded. The profound sound of truth that contained deep meaning made her unconsciously intoxicated: "This feeling, what is going on..."

Shen Qingge reacted quickly and called out to everyone, "This secret of the Dao realm must be the effect of the pill that Ah Jie spread. He was able to use his sudden enlightenment to spread the effect of the pill. I think his condition has stabilized. This is a rare opportunity. The Divine Fire Pill is a third-grade divine pill. Even if you only comprehend the Dao rhyme, it will be of great benefit to your future immortal path. Everyone, calm down and comprehend it, but be careful not to get too close to avoid causing the true fire to burn."

No more words were spoken. Everyone concentrated and held their breath, carefully comprehending the hard-earned truth.

The field became quiet, except for the slightly rising and falling breathing sounds, there was only the crackling sound of the burning true fire. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone was concentrating deeply, with a thoughtful look on their faces from time to time, and their surrounding realm continued to rise.

After an unknown amount of time, when the aura of the Tao faded away, Li Fei'e slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his bright eyes, and the purple butterfly on his shoulder also danced with joy:
“I have reached the peak of the first level of Celestial Immortal… I never thought that just one enlightenment of the Great Dao would allow me to advance so much. If I hadn’t worried about the coming of the Heavenly Tribulation, it wouldn’t be impossible for me to advance to the second level!”

Su Miao also showed surprise: "Should I say that the power of the Divine Fire Pill is too strong? If I want, I can face the thunder tribulation now and break through to the third level... It is worthy of being a third-grade immortal pill."

Hua Xiaomei seemed to remember something, her eyes fell on Ye Jie, and she said with emotion: "I heard from Brother Jie that the effect of the pill that spread over is only 30%... We can get this kind of fortune just by comprehending the Dao rhyme that spread over, so what kind of transformation will he undergo as the user of the Divine Fire Pill?"

The fire gradually died down, leaving only a few burning spots on Ye Jie's robes. In the contest with the Samadhi True Fire, he was finally the winner.

Nan Linghe walked forward with curiosity, wanting to check on Ye Jie's condition. As he got closer, the corner of his clothes was accidentally stained by flying sparks.

The fire that had been extinguished suddenly came back with a vengeance, burning directly into the divine fire of Samadhi, which reignited Nan Linghe's body and set her clothes on fire.

Nan Linghe panicked and slapped her body randomly, trying to put out the flames on her body. But how could the Samadhi True Fire in the Tushita Heaven Palace be put out so easily? It would not stop until her immortal body and soul were completely burned.

In the moment of crisis, a breeze blew and a figure came in front of her. The divine fire that burned everything seemed to have met its nemesis in front of that person and was extinguished in a few seconds.

It was not until the flames went out that Nan Linghe opened her eyes tremblingly. The familiar face in front of her immediately warmed her heart.

"Are you okay?" Ye Jie patted her back gently, his eyes soft and tolerant, calming all the uneasiness in her heart.

"Hmm..." Nan Linghe smiled calmly and nodded vigorously. In front of him, all difficulties became insignificant.

Everyone rushed over. Ren Changhong was surprised and still doubted what he saw. "The Samadhi True Fire that burns everything was extinguished so easily. It's incredible. If it gets out, I'm afraid the entire Heavenly Palace will be shaken. How did you do it?" Seeing that everyone was looking at him with confused eyes, with a bit of curiosity in their eyes, Ye Jie did not hide it and told them what had just happened:
"The Samadhi True Fire in the Divine Fire Pill was so overbearing that it almost destroyed my body and soul, putting me in an irretrievable situation. In the critical moment, thanks to the great enlightenment contained in the pill, it triggered a kind of skill in my body. The two complemented each other, and I fell into a sudden enlightenment, and realized the power to counter the Samadhi True Fire."

Everyone understood, but Su Miao still had doubts:

"Ye Jie, don't lie to me. They don't know how powerful the Samadhi True Fire is. Don't I know that? This fire burns Samadhi, and no martial arts can resist it. Its power is far greater than that of the worldly flames, and its status is equal to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Blasting Blade in the thunder. How could you possibly figure out a way to counter it? Tell me, how did you do it?"

Ye Jie was quite helpless: "I have already told you the method. If you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do."

Su Miao puffed her lips, obviously quite dissatisfied with this answer, and then she heard Shen Qingge say: "No matter what, it is a blessing to be able to survive this disaster safely. It is also a blessing that Ajie can gain some insights and make the Dragon Transformation more advanced."

Ye Jie smiled and said, "Qingge is wrong. The skill that is affected by the Samadhi True Fire in me is not the Divine Dragon Transformation, but the Bodhi Heart Skill."

"Bodhi Heart Method?" Before Shen Qingge could answer, Su Miao seemed to have discovered something. "Isn't that the practice method of the old Bodhi Palace? Why haven't I heard of it before? Bodhi Heart Method can also restrain Samadhi True Fire?"

In response, Ye Jie just shrugged his shoulders and said, "If it hadn't happened suddenly, I would have no idea. The Bodhi Heart Dharma was stimulated by the Samadhi True Fire, and the enlightenment of the Great Dao actually derived the power of the Shurangama King Samadhi from it. As the saying goes, the nature of fire is empty, but it is false and true. With this Dharma, even the Samadhi True Fire can't hurt me."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued, "Speaking of which, I upgraded the Bodhi Heart Method to the Hongmeng level just to use the effect of the Heart Method to upgrade the levels of the other skills on my body. I didn't expect that this method actually contained such power. It's worth spending hundreds of millions of Yin De to upgrade it."

Everyone understood, and there was a bit of envy in their eyes. It seemed that Ye Jie had turned a disaster into a blessing this time and gained a special ability.

Nan Linghe patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's how it is. I'm very happy to see that you're okay..."

Ye Jie looked at the charred marks on her robe and said with concern: "You have to be careful too. Your clothes are burned. You should go back quickly and change into new clothes."

Nan Linghe looked embarrassed. It was obvious that Ye Jie was fine, but she was the one who almost got into trouble.

At this time, the woman with red veil raised a finger and shook it at Ye Jie, then she took out a large red cloth and wrapped it around Nan Linghe. When she pulled open the red cloth, the charred clothes on Nan Linghe's body disappeared, replaced by a brand new outfit.

The sky blue silk dress was fitted, and the hem was delicately embroidered with silver thread, like a bird spreading its wings. Her face was delicately made up, her long eyelashes slightly curled up, and her flawlessness revealed a bit of innocence.

"Everyone...what are you looking at me for?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Nan Linghe felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and muttered softly.

"You look very beautiful." Ye Jie said with a smile.

"No way..." Nan Linghe's pretty face flushed. Facing his praise, she felt it was even hotter than the burning Samadhi True Fire.

At this time, Ye Jie couldn't help but glance at the red veil beside him.

Although he had just realized the Samadhi of King of Shurangama, Ye Jie still didn't know how the red veil had quietly changed Nan Linghe's outfit. He always felt that the red veil was still shrouded in many mysterious doubts.

Yao Yin walked forward slowly and said to Ye Jie, "Palace Master Ye, you have taken the Divine Fire Pill and spread its effects to me, which has given me a lot of insights. Now it's time for me to fulfill my part of the agreement. I will pass on all my insights on the way of alchemy to Nan Linghe. No matter what confusion she has, I will tell her everything I know."

Ye Jie nodded slightly: "Fairy Yaoyin really keeps her promise. It's worth it for me to take the Divine Fire Pill at the risk of my life."

As he said that, Ye Jie looked at Nan Linghe again: "Learn the way of alchemy from Yao Yin, isn't this what you want?"

Nan Linghe nodded vigorously, with a determined light in her eyes. The reason why Ye Jie took the risk of taking the Divine Fire Pill was closely related to her. Feeling the good intention, she immediately made up her mind: "I will definitely refine the best pill!"

Seeing her full of momentum, Su Miao secretly clenched her fists. Although she didn't want to spoil her fun, she still poured cold water on her and said:

"Sister He, although you are very lucky, you can't rely on luck alone to make pills. You must work very hard. People without talent will find it difficult to achieve anything even if they are taught by famous teachers. You'd better lower your expectations and start with the most basic things. Don't expect to make a magic pill in one go."

Ye Jie didn't think so, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Want to bet? The last person who bet with her lost miserably."

Hearing this, both Xie Xinyu and Lin Hanyan recalled the bets they had made with Nan Linghe in the past, and could not help but rub their foreheads. Anything involving luck would become different once it came to Nan Linghe.

Su Miao snorted and refused decisively: "You want me to be fooled? No way! I won't bet with you!"

Ye Jie smiled and was about to make a few jokes when he saw Tian Ming running over from a distance, saying:

"Master Ziwei, I have cleared out the remnants of the Moon-shooting Crossbow from the sect's forbidden area. However, repairing this legendary second-grade artifact may not be that easy. Come and take a look."

Hearing this, Ye Jie also became serious. To be honest, the reason why he helped Tian Ming regain the position of sect leader was also related to the Moon-Shooting Crossbow stored in the forbidden area.

According to the legend of Tianji Sect, the complete Moon-Shooting Crossbow was created to shoot down the moon. Its power is immeasurable. It is naturally not that easy to repair it, and no one knows what kind of difficulties are waiting ahead.
