Chapter 600 - 594: Red Lotus Hall! Earth at My Fingertips!
Chapter 600 - 594: Red Lotus Hall! Earth at My Fingertips!
Ji Mo was horrified to discover that he seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, gradually being separated from his body.
"Is this... the soul state?"
"Hey! Dad! Mom! Save me!"
"Stop watching TV! Your son is about to die!"
Ji Mo shouted desperately, but Ji’s father and Mrs. Ji turned a deaf ear, focusing intently on the television screen, attentively listening to Ye Fengqing’s lecture, occasionally nodding thoughtfully and gesturing in imitation.
Meanwhile, Ji Mo’s body maintained its usual posture, quietly watching the broadcast, only its eyes lost their sparkle; without looking closely, it was hard to notice any difference from usual.
"..."
After shouting a couple more times, Ji Mo was utterly desperate.
If the one with the soul out of the body was the family’s pet Fortune, his parents would probably have already noticed something was wrong, right?
With cries for help proving ineffective, he could only find a way to save himself!
Unfortunately.....
Despite his middling talent, Ji Mo couldn’t find a way back to his body no matter how he tried.
And the invisible force from the sky was growing stronger and stronger.
Ji Mo felt like someone was grabbing a kitten by the scruff, lifting him into the sky.
"On the bright side, this could be considered an early experience of flying... Ah! Damn it!"
While Ji Mo was trying to comfort himself, he realized his "flying" speed was increasing, and in the blink of an eye, he had passed through layers of reinforced concrete floors, soaring into the sky.
"Help!"
"Oh my God, I’m going to die!"
"Has my soul leveled up? I knew it! Listening to Ye Goddess’s sermon surely has benefits!"
"Hahaha, awesome!"
The voice coming from his ear caught Ji Mo’s attention.
He looked around and found that besides himself, there were hundreds of other residents in his community experiencing the same "soul out of body" event.
Realizing this point, Ji Mo instantly calmed down.
If everyone is unlucky together, as long as he’s not the unluckiest of them all, any situation seems acceptable.
Drifting and drifting...
In his soul-out-of-body state, Ji Mo gradually lost the correct sense of time.
It seemed like just a few breaths had passed, yet also as if many years had gone by.
Finally, his view brightened, and he felt a sense of standing on solid ground.
"Where is this..."
Ji Mo raised his head and gazed around, finding himself in a hall filled with ancient charm.
The grand hall was luxuriously decorated, the tables and chairs embedded with divine jade treasure diamonds, and the inscriptions glowed with the splendor of secret silver gilded.
Every object seemed magnified a hundred times, making Ji Mo feel like he had stumbled into a country of giants.
"Red Lotus Hall!"
Strangely enough.
Though it was his first time in such a place, base information about it emerged automatically in Ji Mo’s mind.
At least...
He knew the name of the hall he was in.
"Don’t hurt me! I surrender!" A Caucasian person nearby raised his hands, repeating the same phrase in French, his movements so practiced that Ji Mo couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eye.
No matter what kind of courage this person had, at least...
Their reaction speed was quite swift.
"Red Lotus Hall, so the changes in us were caused by listening to Ye Fengqing’s teachings?"
Ji Mo ignored his French friend beside him.
He glanced around, seeing that every blue stone slab was filled with both people and animals.
Chinese, Russians, Germans, Koreans, people from Guanlan Country, Indians, Americans...
People from almost every country on Earth were present in the hall.
In addition, there were some adorable small animals.
Like pandas, orange cats, and blue cats, each clustered together by species.
Ji Mo even saw a golden, round walnut floating not far away, wriggling its body excitedly...
Who knows how such a round little thing managed to make a "wriggling" motion!
In any case, Ji Mo couldn’t explain it!
But still.....
Quite cute.
Ji Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, gazing into the distance towards the throne in the hall.
Upon a ridiculously large fire lotus throne, a humanoid lifeform, equally divine and demonic in form, sat cross-legged casually.
A gentle yet brilliant light emanated from its body, obscuring its true appearance.
Amidst the indistinct shape, Ji Mo recognized its identity.
It was the [Lord of the Red Lotus], Ye Fengqing!
The distance between Ji Mo and Ye Fengqing seemed to be just a few kilometers.
Yet no matter how he attempted to approach, he couldn’t close the gap even a tiny bit, as if countless star systems lay between them.
Before Ji Mo could continue his attempts, the voices of excited people from various countries reached his ears.
"Cultivating ’Burning Martial’ here is so efficient, my inner qi is growing super fast! Everyone, don’t just stand there like those foreigners in a daze! Seize the opportunity now!"
"Exactly! If you don’t seize the opportunity, you’ll regret it later! Such a great chance should not be wasted!"
"Can soul states cultivate inner qi too? Come on, you’re joking, right?"
"Try it yourself if you don’t believe me! It really works! Anyone who lies is a pig!"
"Wait! Let me correct something! For those who memorized the later stages of ’Burning Martial’ techniques, you can first simulate the Acupoints! Simulating Acupoints here is even more efficient than cultivating inner qi! It’s the most profitable!"
"Hey, has anyone noticed? There seems to be some energy in the air, similar to inner qi but fundamentally different, which can be absorbed and refined directly into our own power! I think direct cultivation is still the best!"
"Meow~ Meow Meow! Meow!"
"Coo Coo Coo!"
"Woof?"
The voices of animals speaking, such as cats, pigeons, and crows, were endless.
In the next moment, Ye Fengqing’s voice came from afar, suppressing and annihilating all the noise.
In an instant, splendid light filled the sky, and golden lotuses rose from the ground.
A delicate fragrance like orchids dispersed throughout the hall.
In a moment, Ji Mo entered a strange state.
Even though he couldn’t understand a word of what was being said, he could clearly feel that every word, every syllable uttered by Ye Fengqing, was guiding the movement, condensation, and sublimation of his inner qi.
His complete soul also seemed to be split into billions of particles, which continuously vibrated, strengthened, and underwent essential transformation and evolution!
Ji Mo, who hadn’t slept for two days due to excitement from watching the ’Seven Vortex Swordsmanship Adventure’ live stream, originally felt a bit tired.
But now, he felt completely reenergized, his spirit soared, and vitality overflowed!
In the Red Lotus Hall, everyone listening to Ye Fengqing’s teachings...
To be precise—all beings listening to Ye Fengqing’s teachings were greatly benefited in the process! They all rapidly grew stronger!
Initially, Ji Mo was worried that listening to the teachings in the Red Lotus Hall might cause a "one day in heaven equals a hundred years on Earth" scenario, fearing that by the time he returned to Earth, his parents would have passed away, like ancient tales of time distortion.
Yet, as Ye Fengqing continued his teachings, Ji Mo gradually forgot all his worries and lost his sense of time.
In a hazy state, Ji Mo suddenly woke up.
As a relatively sensitive person, he discovered...
His soul seemed to have become "heavier" compared to before.
Not too much, about ten percent or so.
"Did the teachings of this [Lord of the Red Lotus] elevate my soul’s potential?"
With a clear mind, Ji Mo did what all the other animals did—raised his head and looked gratefully towards Ye Fengqing in the distance.
"The destiny has ended."
"Return now!"
As he finished speaking, the immensely tall and boundless Ye Fengqing, as if activating a supreme enhanced version of Dharma Heaven and Earth Divine Techniques, smiled slightly, picking up a small blue "marble" from somewhere, and flicked it lightly with his finger.
The blue marble rolled in the direction of Ji Mo and the others.
With each passing jade brick, its size doubled.
Although many people screamed and tried to escape its path, Ji Mo had an inexplicable feeling that he wouldn’t be crushed.
"What are you afraid of! How could Lord Honglian harm you?"
Ji Mo focused his gaze, observing closely.
The gradually enlarging blue marble seemed more and more familiar to Ji Mo.
"These patterns, they seem off..."
"Europe, Africa, Oceania, Antarctica, North America..."
"Holy crap!"
"This is Earth!"
