Chapter 893 - I Became a Villainess and Was Pestered by Beautiful Girls

"Damn, I messed up!" Seeing the flames about to engulf herself, Tang Xin quickly placed her hands in front and shouted. Why such a big reaction? She wasn't a big demon harming the world... Wait, was she? The raging sea of fire, like a flower bud, enveloped Senior Sister. The onlookers outside all showed shocked expressions. "This guy," a middle-aged man from the immortal clan with broad knowledge at the tribulation stage, struggled to speak for a while, "could it be cursed by the heavenly path... otherwise, how could it trigger the wrath of the karma fire?" Inside the flames. "Don't roast me, I promise to do more good deeds in the future, stop bullying Su Ling, and give the sect leader a massage every day..." Tang Xin sincerely admitted her mistake, but upon opening her eyes, she found that the flames only wrapped around her and did not burn her. "Huh? Could it be that I am really a good person?" Even Senior Sister found it quite strange. It was fine to say she was a good person, but there was still a gap from being a super good person like her. She carefully kicked the little flame at her feet and found that it did not react. "Surely, I have been doing too many good deeds, even the heavenly path is ashamed to take action!" Tang Xin chuckled twice and walked towards the wall of flames. Huff… As long as she didn’t move, everything was fine. But as soon as she moved, the originally calm flames suddenly boiled and surged, as if to engulf her. Senior Sister quickly retreated to her original position. "I get it, I'm a fake good person, right..." The flames surged for a while, slowly separating into a human form, suspended in the air and looking down at the girl below. Tang Xin looked up at the figure, waiting for it to speak first. And then the two just stood there... "Well, I'll go first," said Senior Sister, "Who are you? Why are you trapping me?" "I am you," the Flame Being replied. Tang Xin carefully scrutinized the figure. "It's impossible," she shook her head, "I'm not as ugly as you." "I am formed by your karma fire," it said, "The merciless karma fire did not appear out of thin air, but according to every cause and effect of yours." "You say so much, but I don't understand," Senior Sister waved her hands, "I just want to know, how can I pass this test?" "You are different from others," the Flame Being slowly descended in front of her, speaking in an emotionless tone, "You are not controlled by the heavenly path, so you cannot be burned by karma fire. Since the karma fire cannot burn you, it can only trap you." "Huh?" Tang Xin frowned, "Isn't this a bug?" So, she didn’t even have the qualification to be judged. Then, there was no question of passing the test? "Even so," the Flame Being continued, "The karma fire also has a spirit. If you actively touch it, you will also receive feedback." "You mean," Tang Xin swallowed hard, "You want me to voluntarily jump into the fire pit?" It was suicidal, wasn’t it? The karma fire was a terrifying force that could turn even the tribulation stage cultivators into ashes! "The karma fire won't kill you," the Flame Being spoke again, "Because the heavenly path cannot restrain you, its power has limited influence on you." "You're not deceiving me, are you?" Senior Sister said, half-believing. The figure fell silent and just stood opposite her. It wasn't a good idea to stand still like this, having come this far. So, she cautiously followed the instructions and tried. Tang Xin carefully approached the wall of flames, allowing the flames to climb up her arms without making any resistance. To her surprise, everyone said the merciless karma fire was scorching, but she only felt a slight warmth, like warm water. Soon, a ball of karma fire enveloped her. Tang Xin opened her eyes and found her consciousness in a space made of flames. Above her head was a dazzling Milky Way composed of countless stars, each with a certain trajectory, like ripples slowly flowing. This was the manifestation of the "heavenly path," which Senior Sister had seen once in the final stage of the heavenly selection realm. Ordinary people, even tribulation stage cultivators, would find it difficult to see a tangible heavenly path. For most people, the heavenly path was merely a vague but real "concept." "What's next?" Senior Sister looked around, "How will I be tested?" Boom! As soon as she finished speaking, a thunderclap struck in front of her, making her step back a few paces in fright. "Nowadays..." After the thunder had passed, an old voice echoed in the space. "Not many dare to defy the heavenly path." After the thunder dissipated on the ground, a white-bearded old man, with his hands behind his back, appeared out of thin air not far from Senior Sister. "Who are you?" Tang Xin asked with a guarded look. "Spirit Fire Half Eminence," the old man replied in a calm tone, "The creator of this karma fire test." "Respected Elder," Senior Sister bowed respectfully. "You are curious about what realm I am," the old man looked at her as if he knew what she was thinking, "Unfortunately, I am not a supreme being, just a half-step to supreme realm." "Two..." "You want to know the difference between these two realms, right?" the old man interrupted, "In terms you can understand, the supreme beings grasp the complete 'Dao.' If the scale and level of a space meet the requirements, they can even 'create' there. But before that, no matter how high the realm, they are still bound by the power of the world." "I see..." "It's a pity, why am I telling you all this? Naturally, because you have piqued my interest." The old man smiled faintly. "No, even if you can read minds, can't you let me speak out my questions myself?" Senior Sister couldn’t help but comment. "Alright, what's your next question?" the old man asked. "You already know...," Senior Sister rolled her eyes. "You want to know how far my mind-reading can reach," he nodded. "This consciousness of mine is stored in the merciless karma fire. And the karma fire is another side of you. Hence..." "You know everything about me?" Tang Xin's face changed. "Yes, your other side, your other identity, your experiences," the old man said solemnly, "That's why I said, not many dare to defy the heavenly path these days." "No..." For a moment, Senior Sister felt a bit flustered. She was most afraid of her secrets being exposed when they shouldn't be. Even if she had to reveal them one day, it should be her own choice. "Don't worry," the old man noticed her changing expression, "Your secrets will not be divulged by me. Otherwise, your terrifying power will take care of me without you having to lift a finger." "Power?" Tang Xin pondered, "Can you even see the 'system'?"
