Chapter 61: Chapter 59: Convincing with Reasoning

Shi Nian played for a while, then let the flame go.

Observing the numb expression on Fire Flame Venerable, she curiously asked, "Venerable, what’s wrong with you?"

Fire Flame Venerable glanced at her meaningfully, "Spicy Flame Chicken, it’s right in the heart of these flames. Keep walking forward, and you’ll see it."

Shi Nian nodded, not thinking too much, and took the lead to walk forward.

Fire Flame Venerable continued to watch her.

Ever since the Spicy Flame Chicken was trapped by the puzzle, it had been in a frenzy for three hundred years.

The deeper she went, the stronger the flames became. Shi Nian, merely a Disciple in the Qi Refinement Realm, could not possibly reach the center by herself!

Shi Nian took a step forward.

The fire around her quickly scattered away,

Shi Nian took two steps forward.

The flames automatically parted, leaving only the middle path open.

Shi Nian took three steps forward.

The flames uniformly swayed, as if welcoming her.

Shi Nian, moved, said: "Fire Flame Venerable, these flames are so sentient."

Fire Flame Venerable: "...Heh."

He doubted his life all the way.

Lu Zhuoyan was used to this sight, he simply kept closely following Shi Nian.

Very soon.

The three of them reached the very center.

At the heart of the flames, an imposing fiery red Spirit Beast was continuously emitting flames.

Fire Flame Venerable said, "Spicy Flame Chicken, originally it was just one step away from Divinity Transformation, ready to make that step at any moment. But these three hundred years, trapped in a puzzle, not only has its cultivation not increased, it keeps decreasing. Throughout these three hundred years, I have continuously fed it Spiritual Medicine, but this cannot stop its cultivation from declining; it can only slow down the process. Its current cultivation has already fallen from Nascent Soul Peak to Nascent Soul Early Stage. At this rate, it won’t be long before it can’t even maintain the Nascent Soul Stage."

Sadness filled Fire Flame Venerable’s eyes and brows.

"I see, I’ll go and have a chat with Elder Spicy Flame Chicken," Shi Nian said, and walked straight over.

Fire Flame Venerable was taken aback: "Wait a minute..."

Currently, Spicy Flame Chicken’s senses are unclear, it indiscriminately attacks anyone who enters!

This young one is just in the Qi Refinement Realm, she might be burned to ash in minutes.

And then Ling Tian would definitely fight him over it!

Fire Flame Venerable immediately wanted to protect Shi Nian with his mana.

But before he could act, the flames around Shi Nian, as if seeing a ghost, scattered away.

Fire Flame Venerable: "???"

Shi Nian smoothly walked up to Spicy Flame Chicken.

Then, she reached out, wanting to touch the Spicy Flame Chicken.

This moment, Fire Flame Venerable really panicked!

"Young one, do not touch it!!!"

He dashed over, intending to pull Shi Nian away.

The next moment.

Shi Nian’s hand, was placed on Spicy Flame Chicken’s head.

All the flames around the Spicy Flame Chicken disappeared at this moment, its originally explosive aura, also became docile in an instant.

Bang.

Fire Flame Venerable couldn’t stop himself, abruptly turned direction, and directly crashed into a wall.

Shi Nian gave him a puzzled look: "Venerable?"

Fire Flame Venerable coughed lightly, with dignity: "It’s nothing, I suddenly got an itch on my head. I am scratching it on the wall."

"You are..." Spicy Flame Chicken regained some clarity, it spoke human language, looking somewhat puzzled at Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan.

"Spicy, the problem you’ve been pondering, this little girl has an answer. She came specially to tell you," Fire Flame Venerable hurriedly said.

"Oh?" Spicy Flame Chicken immediately looked at Shi Nian expectantly, "Can you tell me, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

Not just the Spicy Flame Chicken, even Fire Flame Venerable and Lu Zhuoyan, all turned their gaze towards Shi Nian.

Ling Tian, although annoying, but about this question... they were also quite curious about the answer.

Shi Nian coughed lightly, she didn’t respond, instead asking, "Elder Spicy Flame Chicken, the question you asked me, is it out of your own will?"

Spicy Flame Chicken was taken aback: "Naturally."

Shi Nian’s eyes were deep: "No, there is no free will in humans. All decisions at this moment are controlled by an endless chain of causality."

The Fire Flame Chicken was even more stunned.

Before it could figure out the reason, Shi Nian continued to ask: "Do you believe that someone in this world can reverse time and space?"

The Fire Flame Chicken’s spirits lifted: "The Human World does not possess such great power, perhaps the Immortal World does, or the Divine Realm does."

Shi Nian nodded: "If you cultivate to the highest realm in the future, reverse time and space, and go back to before you were born, preventing your own birth. Then, do you still exist?"

The Fire Flame Chicken: "???"

"Is it the existence of all things that determines your consciousness, or your consciousness that determines the existence of all things?"

"Where do we come from, where are we going? Does this world have a supreme savior?"

"What determines that you are you, is it your thoughts, or your body?"

Shi Nian rattled off a slew of questions.

The Fire Flame Chicken was bewildered.

The Fire Flame Chicken was confused.

The Fire Flame Chicken went mad.

Violent flames burst forth from its body.

"Junior!!!" Fire Flame Venerable was even more furiously angry: "Are you sure you came here to solve problems?"

Lu Zhuoyan silently took a step back.

He was certain, this time, the troublemaker was definitely not him!

Shi Nian remained silent, simply placing her hand back on the Fire Flame Chicken’s head.

The Fire Flame Chicken uncontrollably calmed down.

It looked at Shi Nian somewhat desperately: "All this, it’s unsolvable, right?"

Shi Nian smiled slightly: "Let me ask you another question. A liquid, if it falls on you from a great height at a great speed, would you be injured?"

The Fire Flame Chicken furrowed its brows: "As long as there is enough force, even leaves and flowers can injure people. If it really is from a great height at a great speed, I suppose I would be hurt."

Shi Nian looked at it meaningfully: "Haven’t you ever been rained on?"

The Fire Flame Chicken: "..."

Pfft.

Lu Zhuoyan desperately covered his mouth.

Damn it, he was also wrapped up in it just now.

Fire Flame Venerable glared angrily at Lu Zhuoyan!

What exactly did these juniors come here to do!

"Senior." Shi Nian sighed: "I just want to tell you, not all seemingly profound questions in the world necessarily have a profound answer. This world is full of mysteries, and living within it, we don’t need to do anything to feel the sunshine, or to experience the beauty of spring flowers and autumn moons. These ordinary things precisely hide the ultimate truths of the Human World."

Shi Nian was bullshitting laboriously.

But the Fire Flame Chicken clearly wasn’t so easily dealt with, muttering: "No, can it be that there really are no solutions to the myriad mysteries of this world?"

It began to lose its sanity again.

Shi Nian silently touched its head.

"I will definitely find the answer." The Fire Flame Chicken went mad again.

Shi Nian touched its head.

"I don’t believe it! I definitely can." The Fire Flame Chicken went mad.

Shi Nian touched its head.

The Fire Flame Chicken went mad.

Shi Nian touched its head.

After dozens of times.

The Fire Flame Chicken looked at Shi Nian somewhat collapsing: "Can’t you let me think properly?"

Shi Nian smiled: "Continue."

She raised her hand, already prepared.

The Fire Flame Chicken stared at her for a long while, then spoke: "I think. The highest mysteries are indeed hidden in everyday life. I should slowly comprehend them in life."

Shi Nian held its claw, very gratified: "Unexpectedly, I am so good at persuading, no, persuading chickens. Fire Flame Chicken senior, if you have any perplexities, come to me again."

The Fire Flame Chicken: "..."

You’re also way too good at persuading chickens!
