When everyone rushed out of the cave and saw the scenery in front of them, they were once again filled with despair.
In front of them was a cliff, and below the cliff was a sea of lava.
There were no more roads ahead.
Xu Ming took Shixin and flew to the sky above the lava sea first, lest they be swallowed by the lava later.
The others did the same.
They floated in the air, watching the lava spew out from the cave and merge into this "sea". Everyone's hearts were heavy, as if they had already imagined their own demise.
This cave actually had other openings.
Other cultivators also flew out from other openings.
Xu Ming counted them, and there were about a dozen openings.
It was as if a dozen streams were flowing into the sea.
It's just that the "sea level" of this lava sea was constantly rising.
Several openings were completely blocked by lava.
They couldn't get out at all, and now the lava inside the cave was still rising.
Everyone was like wild beasts being driven together, and soon they would be buried in the sea of lava.
At this time, a total of five or six hundred cultivators were floating in the air, their heads tightly against the rocks above, trying to stay as far away from the lava below as possible.
"Are you afraid?"
Xu Ming looked at Shixin beside him.
Shixin raised her head and looked into Xu Ming's eyes: "I'm not afraid. Death is inevitable, so why be afraid?"
Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Buddhist cultivators generally take things lightly.
Xu Ming felt that this was especially true for Shixin.
Gradually, the lava rose higher and higher.
It was almost only ten meters away from Xu Ming and the others' feet.
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
Looking at this sea of lava, many cultivators cried out, their minds on the verge of collapse.
They would rather be killed by other cultivators than die here waiting.
If they were killed by other cultivators, it would be sudden.
But now, they were facing torment at all times.
At this time, some people already regretted it, regretting coming to such a place.
If they hadn't come to the Rootless Secret Realm, they wouldn't have died here!
If they hadn't come to the Rootless Secret Realm, they would still be living happily in the sect, respected by everyone.
What they didn't know was that when they had such a thought, even if they survived, their future path was destined not to go far.
A cultivator must have the awareness to survive in desperate situations, otherwise, how can you fight with others and fight with the heavens?
"Splash!"
The entire cave shook, setting off a wave of lava.
The lava wave directly swallowed some cultivators and swept them into this sea of lava, and they were never heard from again.
Everyone was trying their best to figure out how to get out, but how could they get out?
Every opening was spewing lava, the lava was constantly rising, and there were rock walls above. This was completely a dead end.
In comparison, Shixin still had the mind to chant scriptures for those who died in the sea of fire, and to help them find peace.
In fact, Xu Ming really wanted to askβif you are helping them find peace now, who will help you find peace when you die?
"She really is excessively kind."
Xu Ming sighed and withdrew his gaze from Shixin.
Xu Ming was not so pessimistic.
In Xu Ming's opinion, any desperate situation must have a way out, it's just that you haven't found it yet.
Xu Ming had already activated his Dao Pattern Eye, scanning the surroundings.
It wasn't until Xu Ming's Dao Pattern Eye looked down that he felt something was wrong.
This was still lava, that's right.
But the lava looked a little too red in his eyes.
Compared to the lava gushing out of the cave earlier, the lava below felt somewhat different.
"Could it beβ¦"
At this moment, Xu Ming had a bold idea in his mind.
"I suddenly thought of the key to breaking the situation," Xu Ming said to Shixin beside him.
"What?" Shixin tilted her head and looked at Xu Ming in confusion.
"It's hard to say," Xu Ming shook his head, "It's just my guess, but are you willing to believe me?"
Shixin thought for a moment: "Do I have any other choice besides believing you?"
Xu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's right, besides believing me, you can only wait here to die."
"Then let's go."
Xu Ming took Shixin's hand and fell directly towards the lava sea below.
Shixin didn't know why Xu Ming wanted to seek death, but there was no hesitation in Shixin's heart.
She believed in Xu Ming.
In the eyes of others, Xu Ming and the bald woman were simply committing suicide, having completely given up hope of surviving.
Xu Ming and Shixin felt the heat becoming heavier and heavier, and the lava sea was getting closer and closer to them.
In less than a breath, with the splashing of lava, Xu Ming and Shixin entered the sea of fire.
Shixin thought she was dead, but when Shixin opened her eyes, she found herself in another world.
"As expected, I didn't guess wrong."
Xu Ming said slowly.
Shixin turned her head to look, Xu Ming's mouth curled up, looking at everything around him.
Above Xu Ming's head was a fiery red sky, without any clouds, just a crimson expanse, and a red sun hung high in the sky, but this red sun was somewhat incomplete.
Under Xu Ming's feet was crimson land, lava flowed on the land, and mountains were located in it, with lava spewing out.
This place had no vitality at all, as if it were the end of the world.
This reminded Xu Ming of when he was at Three Stone Peak, when he was in the Sea of Consciousness Sword Tomb, it was also such a scene.
"Is this place an illusion?" Shixin guessed.
Xu Ming nodded: "That's right, it's an illusion, including the lava sea just now, it's actually all an illusion, but this illusion is too real, so real that when you are swallowed by the lava, your brain really thinks you have turned to ashes, so you die directly."
This is why illusions can also kill people.
The only way to break the situation is to have the awareness to live through death.
As long as you dare to rush down, your brain will have a kind of determination, and the illusion will naturally dissolve."
"Then what exactly is this place?" Shixin blinked her eyes.
"Your question should be asked of her."
Xu Ming's gaze looked forward.
Not far away, a woman in a red dress was carrying a long sword, walking towards Xu Ming and the others step by step.
γGoing to work tomorrow!γ
