"You mean the golden gate above Emperor Star's head is part of the coffin?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan almost forgot his grudge against the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and was about to step forward and grab a handful of melon seeds to explain in detail.

"Don't overthink it, this spot will definitely be mine in the end." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden thought that Jiang Yuan wanted to compete with her for the transcendent spot, so she gave him a warning immediately.

"ha!"

Jiang Yuan almost laughed when he heard this answer. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, I definitely won't compete with you for the coffin spot. Not only will I not compete, but when you're in your coffin, I'll personally bring a wreath to pay my respects. After all, you are a part of my lost youth!"

"You're smart!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden really thought Jiang Yuan meant well, but the more she listened to his words, the stranger they seemed.

"But you're just kidding me, aren't you? If this thing were really as mysterious as you say, would we have been able to get in like this?" Jiang Yuan dared not forget that the two of them were currently in the Golden Gate, and he couldn't see any resemblance to a coffin.

"That's normal. The battlefield isn't over, so the final path won't appear," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden explained calmly.

Jiang Yuan thought about it for a moment. The golden gate and crystal tablet that appeared in the sky above the Imperial Star were indeed a bit strange. They not only provided the Imperial Star with a large amount of cosmic energy, but were also directly connected to the Heavenly Dao of the battlefield. This was an existence that transcended the battlefield.

"In a sense, the entire Imperial Star is already dead, so don't think about spending your time on other people. No matter how many women you love or how many friends you make, they will all die in the end. Rather than spending the rest of your life immersed in pain, you might as well focus on cultivating the divine path."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden suddenly uttered some heartfelt words, but after speaking, she felt something was amiss and added, "However, you won't have a chance either, because you will die too!"

"Seriously, do you jump around like this when you're chatting with people?" Jiang Yuan wondered. "Can't you just talk properly? Don't jump to other topics before you've even finished a sentence. I really can't keep up with that."

"I don't chat with people, I only chat with the dead," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden replied solemnly.

Jiang Yuan was speechless after being rebuked. It seemed that this woman had him cornered today, otherwise she wouldn't be so talkative. After all, in her eyes, only the dead could keep secrets.

"It seems you're quite obsessed with killing me. Let me guess why!"

Jiang Yuan took two steps back, afraid that he would be beaten up if he continued talking. He pretended to be deep in thought and muttered, "First, you think you will lose to me, so you try to get rid of me."

"Impossible. You are just a mortal. What right do you have to compare yourself to me?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden refuted Jiang Yuan's hypothesis in one fell swoop.

"Oh, so it seems to be the second one!" Jiang Yuan rested his chin on his hand, looked the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden up and down, and then said smugly, "You're afraid of falling in love with me!"

"scold!"

As expected, when Jiang Yuan mentioned the second reason, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden flew into a rage and attacked. She was most afraid of Jiang Yuan bringing up this matter. It wasn't so much like kicking a hornet's nest, but rather hitting her Achilles' heel.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're hitting me again! Aren't you annoyed?!"

Jiang Yuan tried to stop her, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden seemed unwilling to continue the conversation. Right now, she seemed to only want to put her mouth in the toilet, otherwise every second would be torture for her.

Within the vast sea of ​​flames, the two clashed with the power of divine fire. Jiang Yuan was completely overwhelmed throughout, but he possessed Hellfire, and even after being attacked several times, his physical body remained unharmed.

As the intensity of the attack increased dramatically, Jiang Yuan was completely at a disadvantage. The flames inside the Golden Gate seemed to exist solely for the gods. He could not feel any affinity with the power here. Only the Hellfire, which carried the eternal mystery in his hand, could coexist with him.

"At this rate, death is only a matter of time!"

Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth and decided to rise from the ashes.

He doesn't have the bloodline of the phoenix, so undergoing Nirvana would be a near-death experience. Plus, he's completely unprepared now, so the chances of a successful Nirvana are even lower. But it seems he has no other choice.

"The cycle of reincarnation, the transformation between life and death."

As the power of reincarnation seeped out of his body, Jiang Yuan's vitality rapidly disappeared. To successfully achieve Nirvana, he had to face death and live on.

"Hellfire, I don't need you to be stronger than divine fire, but!" Jiang Yuan said with unwavering determination, "You must preserve a sliver of your flame in anticipation of my return!"

Hellfire is the flame of his rebirth. If Hellfire cannot withstand the attacks of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, then he and Hellfire will become nourishment for the divine fire of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"Buzz!"

The flame responded to Jiang Yuan by shaking.

"In that case, let's begin!"

The true spirit begins to disintegrate; this is the beginning of a person's true death, a path of no return.

If Nirvana fails, all the fruits of one's cultivation will turn to ashes in the flames.

Flames from the Golden Gate swept towards Jiang Yuan, but for Jiang Yuan, who was prepared to die for survival, this was just a necessary process. He not only needed to undergo a rebirth, but also needed to find the true Eight Gates Body Technique within the vast Golden Gate.

"With me here, you still want to achieve Nirvana? Are you dreaming?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden let out a cold laugh when she saw Jiang Yuan choose Nirvana. As long as he was in Nirvana, she could take all of Jiang Yuan's divine fire. He was courting death.

Jiang Yuan was about to die, but he still forced his eyelids open and said, "Yanlan, this is the last time I will call you that. I hope you understand one thing: the path to transcendence is not easy! Just like the Grim Reaper, his realm is far higher than transcending the battlefield, but why did he still choose death?"

"That's because he's not strong enough," the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden replied coldly. This time, she unusually did not resist Jiang Yuan calling her that.

Is it really just a matter of ability?
