Chapter 61: When Calamity Befalls the World, Heaven Favors t
ongxuan family, with their patriarch, the aging Lord Chongxuan, who had long since laid down his armor, now donned it once more, charging into battle. He fought valiantly, losing two sons in the proc...Jiang Wang and Ji Huo Yu Ling had a certain tacit understanding; they didn't say out loud Ji Huo Yu Xiu's name. But the pair of eyes they were talking about, of course, were Ji Huo Yu Xiu's mesmerizing eyes.
Therefore, what Ao Kui was looking for in the Jihua Department was the Jihua Yu Xiu
So this is why Ji Huo Yu Ling sent Ji Huo Yu Xiu to be by her side
Jiang Wang discovered he had misunderstood something—earlier, Ao Kui had threatened using his totem spirit's power, saying even Yu Chan would die. He thought Ao Kui was hinting at the danger on Ji Huo Yu Xiu's body.
As for the peculiarity of Ji Huo Yu Xiu, he naturally had his guard up and corresponding arrangements. When he could ensure even Yu Chan's safety, he didn't immediately return to Qing Huo tribe but followed the thread of cause and effect, chasing after him to Ji Huo tribe.
But now it seems, Ao Kui clearly didn't know about Ji Huo Yu Xiu. Ao Kui may not have even known who he was looking for, only that the person was in the Ji Huo Department, so he simply killed everyone!
He couldn't find the special one, nor did he have time to distinguish truth from falsehood, but after killing them all, that special person would naturally appear!
If Ao Kui's proposed danger has nothing to do with the fire-attribute prodigy, then what danger does the Qing Huo Department still face

Bai Yu's voice rang out at this moment: "Master, I found something wrong!"
Jiang Wang turned her eyes and asked, “What’s the question”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Bai Yu Xia stood in the ruins, transmitting sound and saying: “You guessed right. Ao Kui didn't just choose a populous tribe to start massacring. He chose the Jihuo Tribe for a very specific purpose. I’ve looked at all the battle traces; he intentionally spared the core members of the Jihuo Tribe from the beginning. He wanted to obtain some information, find something in the Jihuo Tribe! It's just that we arrived too quickly, forcing him to cut his operation short and hide in the Jihuo Palace.”
Jiang Wang knew Bai Yu Xia wouldn't just tell him things he already knew: "What else"
Bai Yu Xia solemnly said, "From the moment I arrived, something felt wrong. The Hundred Million population of the Fiery Department was slaughtered clean by Ao Kui. The corpses are all here, but the scattered souls are far fewer than that number. At first, I thought they had become the nourishment for this great formation, but just now I discovered that wasn't the case. There is a huge pit three thousand meters underground. That location hasn't reached the Nether Heavens, but it's not far off. Ao Kui is raising ghosts there! Many souls have been forced into evil spirits."
Cultivating demons isn't exactly new. To be blunt, it's simply Ao Kui utilizing the deaths of a million people in the Jihuo Department to their fullest extent. Bodies are transformed into blood corpses, souls into demons... It wouldn't surprise anyone if Ao Kui did something this cruel!
But they had seen it in the cave paintings on Mount Saint Hunter.
The floating world once had demons! There was even a period when demons ran rampant in this world.
Later, during that blank period of history, all the evil spirits disappeared.
Now Ao Kui was recreating them, and Jiang Wang wouldn't believe for a second that there was no plan behind it.
"Good," Jiang Wang's voice was low, "This world is very lively now, with all sorts of beings: the Floating Sky people, demons, star beasts, dragons, and humans from the mortal realm. I wonder what else will appear."
The blood-red Jihuo tribe lands, the chanting grew louder and louder.
Jingli the monk was as translucent as glazed glass, his features motionless yet radiating Buddha's light.
He has already pushed his Buddhist teachings to the limit.
Hordes of red corpses, their navel fires extinguished, with peaceful brows and eyes, staggered out of the Heavenly Slaughter Endless Array.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
To dispel the resentment of millions of blood corpses and drive out the influence of the Heavenly Slaughter Wan Jue Array, it would be a huge test for his willpower and cultivation.
And he only focused on chanting scriptures.
Outside the Jihuo Palace, rows of hollow copper pipes stood erect. The surface of the pipes was embossed with runes that forbade the flow of celestial and earthly energy, and a mournful whistling echoed from their centers.

The life-stealing blade used one hundred and eight forbidden void conduits, expelling all the celestial energy within a three-foot radius of the Huanji Fire Palace. The sound of the wind was actually unrelated to the wind itself; it was caused by the tremor of the energy being shattered.
“Jihuo Yu Ling!” Jiang Wang ended his telepathic communication with Baiyu Xia, looked around, and shouted towards the Fire Shrine: “Is there anything else you’re hiding from me Tell me everything, and I can let bygones be bygones!”
“I really haven't hidden anything from you, sir! Please don't push me anymore—“ Ji Huo Yu Ling said painfully: “I've already told you everything I know!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But as soon as the voice came out, she realized that everything around her was silent. It was as if she hadn't made a sound at all!
She only then realized that the question Jiang Wang had asked earlier was only audible to her!
What does this mean
She just realized something was wrong. The sound she had uttered materialized before her eyes—she hadn't been silent, but the words, barely spoken, had escaped her control. Now, under the influence of a terrifying force, they took on a clear human form.
Jiang Wang, wielding his voice, stood before her!
This fire temple is indeed formidable in its defenses, and the protection of the Book of Creation is naturally solid. The remaining strong guardians of the Fire Clan are also quite dedicated.
But she shouldn't speak to anyone outside the Fire Temple.
Since sound transmission is allowed, Jiang Wang's intrusion is also permitted!
While the path of sound hearing cannot solve Ao Kui's issue, standing before Ji Huo Yu Ling poses no problem at all.
Now they are meeting for the second time.
Soldiers nearby rushed forward, but were all blocked by Jihuo Yuling's raised palm.
Jiang Wangping calmly looked at her, his voice only transmitting between the two of them: "Now tell me, why did the Demon Dragon seek out Jihuo Yuxiu"
Jihuo Yu Ling closed her eyes, saying painfully: "Yu Xiu is my child, but also the source of disaster. Everyone who contacts her suffers misfortune. Her friends, her pets, her father... What truly made me decide was our shaman's latest interpretation of a page from the Book of Creation. It said, 'In this world, there is calamity, and Heaven inclines towards Yu Xiu.' This world will be destroyed because of her. So I sent her to you, an outsider. I thought that if you took her to the mortal world, she would be safe, and our Jihuo tribe could avoid disaster."
Jiang Wang recalled the passage from the Book of Creation that Lian Yuchuan and the others had deciphered, "There are dimensions in the world, and dimensions exist within..."
Just like "Yu Xiu," is "its" also a name
What a name!
Ji Huoyu continued, “Before you arrived, the Demon Dragon trapped us in the Fire Temple. She said she was looking for someone born holding the Book of Creation, and if we surrendered him, we could live. Only I know that Yu Xiu was indeed born holding a page from the Book of Creation.”
Born with the Book of Genesis There's certainly a touch of destiny about it, indeed quite mythical!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wangdao: "Where is that Book of Creation Bring it to me so I can have a look."
“Right there.” Jihuo Yuling pointed upward to the ceiling, where an ancient clay tablet was suspended, rotating slowly under the influence of the totem, granting the Fire Shrine power to repel invaders: “The latest page deciphered by the Shaman."
Jiang Wang silently memorized the creation scripture on the clay tablet. As the Ear Immortal manipulated his power, it just ended, and the voice-shaped figure dissipated.
Outside the fire shrine, Jiang Wang strode back, with a wave of his hand, he manifested the primordial divine script using the Dreamlike Order, and handed it to Bai Yu Xia: “You’ve studied these, take a look at this section of the primordial divine script, see if your interpretation is correct.”

Another flick of his finger, and a strand of power ripped from the Book of Creation flew before Xi Ming's eyes: "Test this power, see if it is the one that clashed with Tian Fo's power on Sheng Hu Mountain!"

Another yellow talisman trembled, summoning two celestial palace warriors. They each effortlessly lifted four or five bodies, carrying them like chicks, out of the formation's range.
The fairy palace boy yawned on his lounge chair: "Good sir—"
Asleep again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He has been sleepy lately.
In no time, the puppet emerged from that heap of peculiar mechanisms: "You guessed right, it was this power that clashed between Mount Shengou and the living alms bowl!"
Another riddle has been solved.
The ruins on Mount Shengou were where the floating people worshipped the Book of Creation in ancient times. The Qihuo-ru was originally hidden in Yagan Lake, but something happened soon after, causing Yagan Lake to dry up overnight and become the Yagan Sky Pit - a reasonable guess is that some power in the floating world discovered it and a struggle occurred during the unsealing process.
A year later, Qi Xiao arrived at Sheng Hun Mountain and fought against the Book of Creation. This resulted in the collapse of Sheng Hun Mountain.
During this period, Qi Hao's actions were definitely unrelated to Ao Kui. Ao Kui was also struggling for his own survival.
So is it a spiritual counterattack like living like that
The spiritual birth that occurred during the battle between the "Qihua Rishi" and the Book of Creation allowed several totemic spirits to arrive just in time, witnessing a path to break through their bottleneck... Everything aligned perfectly.
Then, what does the Book of Genesis represent
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
The origin power of the floating world
At this moment, Bai YuXia looked up and said: "You misread the page of the Book of Creation you gave me. The character '傾' doesn't match."
“Are you sure” Jiang Wang asked.
Bai Yu Xias said: "At least the few of us have studied and seriously researched the evolution of the Genesis script. Although we can't fully understand it, we are competent in eliminating fallacies. If this character is interpreted as '傾', it completely contradicts the overall style of the Genesis book. The interpreter has a problem, either they are incompetent or harbor malicious intentions."
Ginger looked thoughtful: “It doesn’t seem to be a problem with the shaman.”
Bai Yu Xia was completely immersed in her contemplation of the Creation Scriptures, frowning as she said, "Considering the context, 'descending' seems more appropriate here. But it's not certain. We need to compare it with some ancient materials before we can finally confirm."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
When calamity befalls the world, Heaven sends forth outstanding talents!
A single character can make a world of difference in meaning!
This is not merely a misinterpretation, but a struggle for power.
Jiang Wang suddenly understood what the Book of Creation was, and truly grasped the special nature of Ji Huo Yu Xiu. He also understood why Ao Kui had come to the Ji Huo Department.
This targeted insight surged, causing the Samādhi True Fire attached to the Myriad Spirit Blood Light Shield to instantly become a massive threat, nearly incinerating the shield in an instant. Only Ao Kui's timely manipulation of his power managed to hold it back.
So now what
Ji Huo Yu Xiu was sent away early by Ji Huo Yu Ling. Ao Kui couldn't find the person he was looking for in Ji Huo Department, and now he was blocked in Ji Huo Palace.
After the original plan failed, what measures did Ao Kui think of to remedy the situation What would he do
"What shall we do next" Bai Yuxia said, "I can't help much here. Perhaps I should go take a look at Ya Gan Tian Pit"
"There's no need to go to the Yaga Mountain anymore, even if you beg for a living. That place was once the earliest Tibetan land. Now it has nothing useful. Even if there is something, it's all Ao Kui's traps. You still have to outsmart him, working twice as hard for half the result." Jiang Wang raised his Taoist skill Jing Feng, sending the piles of corpses on the ground outward: "Just wait a bit longer, King Qing's army will be here soon. We have a great advantage, there's no reason not to use it."
So far, his methods haven't been triggered, and Yuchuan hasn't encountered any danger yet. Since there have been no accidents, King Qing, who holds the power, will surely discover the situation with the Ji Huo Department and dispatch troops over.
In this game where opponents are often invisible, and players can only rely on themselves, every surviving member of the Floating People is a force on your side.
Bai Yu Xia also accompanied the moving of the corpse, doing her best to help Jing Li lighten his burden.

The sound from the Fire Palace couldn't get out, and Ao Kui didn't try to waste words.
Outside the Jihuo Palace, Jiang Wang and others were all busy with their own affairs.

In the Hall of Fire, even whispers ceased.
The land of the Fiercefire tribe, once a battlefield, was now trapped in an eerie silence.
Time slips away, bit by bit, in this kind of quiet.
Tick.
Tick.
It had just rained, though it had stopped, the aftertaste lingered.
When raindrops slide off the eaves, time is measured concretely.
Seeing the shape also gives you the sound.
Ji Hu Yu Xiu, leaning on her wheelchair, sat quietly in the corridor, gazing up at the red glow on the horizon and the brass-colored sky hidden only partially by the sunset.
Her lips moved silently, reading the scripture that was invisible to ordinary eyes.
At the end of the corridor, a soldier from General's Mansion had been standing there quietly all along. Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind and started walking towards this side.
Visitors to the residence of Qingtianlai are not to be disturbed. This corridor is considered outside the courtyard grounds.
There weren't many guards in the manor. They were called guards, but mostly served as messengers, relaying instructions from the Celestial Visitors. To make the Celestial Visitors feel at home, Keqing had moved out her family scrolls beforehand—even though these Celestial Visitors didn't really care and their activities were confined to a single courtyard.
Each person drifted along, each going their separate way. Even Lian Yuchuan who stayed behind, always buried herself in her books.
The long corridor was empty except for the samurai and the fiery Yukio.
Of course, across a wall is the residence of the guests from Qingtian. Even nearby servants can hear if you shout.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But they were all very calm.
The armored soldier was clad head to toe, even his facial features concealed beneath his helmet.
A voice came from the cracks of the maple leaf, like a cold wind blowing: "Little one, what are you thinking about sitting here all alone"
"I miss Mom," Ji Huo Yu Xiu said.
“You are still young.” The voice of the swordsman said.
Ji Huo Yu Xiu was still looking up at the red clouds on the horizon. “When I was younger, I couldn’t sleep and always pestered my mother to sing me lullabies. My mother didn’t have time, so she arranged for the wet nurse to sing to me. I really liked it, and I could fall asleep peacefully!”
Master Jia said, “You can be obedient now—”
"Do you know what kind of song that was" Jihuo Yuxiu suddenly turned her head and looked at him.
>
Looking at the strange shaman mask, Jia Shi said calmly, "What is it"
"I'll sing for you."
The fiery talent, Zhang Ziyi, opened her mouth and sang.
"Little white rabbit, so white. Two little ears pulled down."
"Loves to eat liver and cook!""Those red eyes are so adorable!"
