Feng Xian'er wrapped her delicate arms around Yun Che's waist and carried him into the air, bypassing the eyes of all the tribesmen and flying towards the Phoenix Trial Ground.
Yun Che's weight was almost entirely on Feng Xian'er. A mountain breeze blew, and although it was not strong, it made Yun Che feel suffocated. Feng Xian'er noticed it immediately and hurriedly slowed down the already slow flying speed even more.
I would actually... be so weak... Yun Che thought bitterly in his heart.
However, this must be only temporary.
There were only about 200 people in the Phoenix Clan, and the strongest ones were Feng Zuer and Feng Xianer. She brought Yun Che to the Phoenix God's Land quietly without being noticed by anyone.
Feng Xian'er brought Yun Che to land in front of a tall mountain wall. In front of them was the sealing formation that Yun Che remembered.
"Brother Benefactor, we are here."
Feng Xian'er pointed her finger and touched the seal formation. A flash of red flame appeared and the seal formation disappeared instantly. Before her eyes, an endless red-black space appeared.
Holding Yun Che by her arm, Feng Xian'er led him forward. As soon as they took a step forward, the world around them suddenly changed. All the light completely disappeared, turning into darkness.
Feng Xian'er bowed and said piously, "I am Feng Xian'er, the descendant of the Phoenix, and I beg to see the Lord Phoenix God."
As soon as she finished speaking, two long and narrow red lights suddenly appeared in the dark world. Then, the two long and narrow red lights slowly opened and transformed into a pair of phoenix eyes embedded in this world.
Back then, when Yun Che first arrived here, the phoenix eyes he faced were a dazzling and sacred golden color.
But at this moment, it was red... and it was noticeably dim.
"Yun Che, long time no see."
This was the voice of the Phoenix Spirit, still majestic and intimidating. But it was obviously different from what Yun Che remembered... It seemed a little weak and old. But Yun Che didn't care about these. He looked into the Phoenix's red eyes: "Yes, long time no see."
"Xian'er, please step back first."
“Yes.” Feng Xian’er responded. She released a gentle profound energy, which condensed into a ball of air that lingered for a long time, gently supporting Yun Che’s body. Only then did she leave nervously.
“Yun Che,” Feng Xian’er left, and the tone of the Phoenix Spirit changed slightly: “Before the Phoenix Spirit of the God Burial Infernal Prison in the Flame God Realm dissipated, it conveyed all of its soul memories to this exalted being, which also included a lot of information about you.”
"I am very pleased to know that you have obtained a further step in the Phoenix inheritance and have completed the complete World Ode of the Phoenix... I never expected that in just over a year, your fate would have such a tragic change." The Phoenix Spirit sighed, "Perhaps this is the jealousy of the heavens."
As soul fragments left by the Phoenix, the gods can communicate with each other's memories. Yun Che already knew this and it was no surprise. He calmed his weak breath and asked, "Phoenix Soul, the Phoenix Clan leader and the others said that you sent me back here. What happened? Why... am I not dead? And am I still here? I clearly..."
The self in my memory is dead and has no chance of survival.
“No,” the Phoenix Spirit replied slowly, “Your memory and cognition are not wrong. You are indeed dead… Although, I don’t know how you died.”
“……?” Yun Che was stunned.
"You now are the you who have been resurrected after death."
“Resurrection after death?” The Phoenix Spirit’s words made Yun Che even more confused.
Without a doubt, anyone who heard this would be stunned. Death is death, and the so-called resurrection from the dead has always been a miracle that only exists in fantasy and has never been realized. Even the gods and demons that perished in the Age of Gods could never be resurrected, let alone the mortal spirits of today.
However, if resurrection from the dead really existed in this world, then perhaps it had only happened to Yun Che.
"Could it be... the Samsara Mirror again?" he muttered absentmindedly.
On the day he married Xia Qingyue at the Xiao Clan in Floating Cloud City, he was poisoned to death by Xiao Yulong, and was reborn in Cangyun Continent because of the Samsara Mirror. Later, he jumped off the Absolute Cloud Cliff in Cangyun Continent and perished, but returned to this life again because of the Samsara Mirror.
“No,” the Phoenix Spirit gave him a negative answer: “Although I don’t know why the Samsara Mirror triggers the power of Samsara in you, every time the Samsara Mirror’s power of Samsara is triggered, it will remain dormant for twenty years.”
"..." Every time the power of the Samsara Mirror is triggered, it will be dormant for twenty years. Jasmine had also clearly told him the same thing.
The Phoenix Spirit had read Yun Che’s memories before, so it naturally knew about the existence of the Samsara Mirror on him: “And it has only been thirteen years since it last took you through the cycle of reincarnation. Moreover, the power of the Samsara Mirror is to ‘travel through the cycle of reincarnation’, not to be reborn.”
“What exactly is that?” Yun Che was even more confused.
"Do you still remember that after you inherited the power of the Phoenix, before I sent you away, I said I would give you a special gift?"
“Remember…I do.” Yun Che nodded. He did remember this incident very clearly, because it was filled with a lot of mystery. Although Yun Che never knew what this “special gift” was, he had never forgotten it.
…………
…………
"Your time in this trial ground is almost over. It's time for me to send you out. But before that, perhaps I should give you a special gift."
That year, after the Phoenix Spirit's voice fell, a golden flame shot out from the Phoenix Divine Pupil and dotted his forehead. He clearly remembered that at that time, the red Phoenix mark on his forehead turned into a dazzling gold under this light, like a cluster of burning golden flames.
"This is a special power that I can only use once in my life, but I don't think I'll ever use it. And you, carrying the power of the evil god, your future is destined to be extraordinary. It would be most appropriate to bestow this power on you. As for what kind of power this is, you will naturally know when you use it."
…………
…………
This special and mysterious "gift" was not only not made clear by the Phoenix Spirit, but Jasmine also clearly knew what it was, but she never told him. When he received the Dragon God's inheritance, the remnant soul of the ancient blue dragon also mentioned it. In the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley in the Illusory Demon Realm, the Golden Crow Spirit also emphasized this point and gave him a big gift in order to "compete with each other".
The Phoenix Spirit, Jasmine, the Ancient Azure Dragon, the Golden Crow Spirit… they all knew what this “gift” was, but all of them were unwilling to tell him. In addition, they all said something similar: “If you ever need it one day, you will naturally know.”
Jasmine once said something quite meaningful: "You'd better pray that you never have to use it."
“Phoenix…Nirvana!”
In the dark space, the Phoenix's red pupils flickered slightly, giving Yun Che the answer.
These four words made Yun Che’s eyes move violently, and he blurted out: “Phoenix Nirvana!?”
These were four words that Yun Che was no stranger to, or in other words, no one was no stranger to.
Whether in the underworld or the divine world, there are many legends about ancient gods or mythical beasts, some of which are true, some are fictional, and most of them belong to the latter. After all, the era of the true gods has long ended, and the real records left are extremely rare, especially in the underworld, where such rumors are basically fabricated.
The myth about the phoenix mentions that it can be reborn from the fire after death, and this miracle is the phoenix nirvana.
This was a mythical legend that Yun Che had heard of when he was a child in this life.
Later, on the day Jasmine left, he was ambushed by the Sky Poison Star God Yuluo. He was doomed to die under the power of the Sky Poison, but he miraculously survived... and it was Feng Xue'er's Nirvana Flame that saved him.
It was also at that time that he, who had possessed the power of the Phoenix for many years, learned that among the Phoenix flames, there was another flame called the "Flame of Nirvana", which could only burn once in a lifetime.
However, his understanding of the "Nirvana Flame" at that time was that it was a flame with extremely strong purifying power. Feng Xue'er's profound power had not yet reached the divine way, but she was able to use this one and only Nirvana Flame at that time to purify the Sky Poison Divine Power in his body. One can imagine how strong its purifying ability was.
Never thought...
“Could it be that the legend of the Phoenix’s rebirth from the ashes… is true?” Yun Che’s face was filled with disbelief, and he felt as if he had fallen into a mythical fantasy.
But, I am still alive... I am still alive after being torn to pieces, which clearly proves that all this is true.
"In ancient times, the evil god showed great kindness to the Phoenix Clan. And you carry the only legacy of the evil god in the world. You were too weak back then, and I was afraid that you would die and the evil god's power would have no successor, so I gave you my only Nirvana Divine Flame. So that you can be reborn in the fire after the disaster."
Yun Che: “…”
“The reason I didn’t tell you was because I was worried that after you knew it, you would subconsciously have less fear of death.” The Phoenix Spirit sighed, “When I learned about your achievements in the God Realm, I prayed that you would never have the moment of burning the flames of Nirvana. But I didn’t expect that this day would eventually come, and so soon.”
"The source of the Nirvana Divine Flame in you is here, so you were reborn here under the burning Nirvana fire."
“…” Yun Che remained silent for a long time. He needed enough time to understand and accept all this incomparably unreal thing.
The fire of nirvana that can allow the phoenix to be reborn from the ashes, which was once thought to be just a fictitious myth, is actually true!
Thirteen years later, when I was sixteen years old, I obtained the power of the Phoenix here. Unexpectedly, because I was carrying the power of the evil god, I obtained the most precious Nirvana Fire of the Phoenix Soul.
This means that from that time on, he has a second life.
He was shattered to pieces in the Star God Realm. He was indeed dead at that time, but at the moment of death he ignited the fire of Nirvana that he had never known existed, and was reborn here.
And what saved him from Yuluo's poisonous power back then was not only Feng Xue'er's Nirvana Flame, but also her second life!
“It’s just…” The Phoenix Spirit’s voice sank at this moment. Although the truth was extremely cruel to Yun Che, it was something it had to state and something Yun Che had to accept: “I am only a fragment of the phoenix’s soul, not a true phoenix. The ‘Nirvana Fire’ that I bestowed upon you is far from being comparable to that of the Phoenix True God. It is even unworthy of being called the ‘Nirvana Fire’.”
"The real Nirvana Divine Flame can make the Phoenix reborn from the ashes, and its divine power will be even greater than before. The Nirvana Fire that burned after your death will indeed allow you to be reborn after death, but it will only give you back your life."
“…” Yun Che used all his strength and raised his head very slowly: “What… do you mean?”
“You should have noticed it, too.” The Phoenix Spirit said bluntly, “Your body is no longer a divine body tempered by divine blood and divine power. It is just a weak mortal body.”
"You are also unable to use any profound power. Your spiritual perception and your soul have all returned to being ordinary, or even... weaker than ordinary."
Facing Yun Che’s gradually shrinking pupils, the Phoenix Spirit’s cruel words did not stop: “In other words, what you were reborn with under the flames of Nirvana was only your life. Your divine power, divine body, divine soul, divine consciousness… are all dead.”
