Hearing this, Mu Hanyan and Jiang Qiling both secretly wiped a cold sweat. While the incident was indeed caused by Zhan Yuan, ultimately, the boaster's downfall was his own fault. If he hadn't been so fond of showing off, insisting on constantly transforming into a human form, how could he have trapped himself in the barrier he had created?
As expected, don't be pretentious, or you will get retribution for it.
"Why don't you rely on the Phoenix Nirvana Fire to heal your wounds?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
"Do you think that anyone is qualified to use the Phoenix Nirvana Fire? Unless one has the body of a divine beast, or one's cultivation has surpassed the limits of the laws of the Holy Continent, and one's body and mind are incredibly powerful, then forget healing, it's luck that one isn't turned into ashes or destroyed by the Nirvana Fire." Taogui said with a frustrated look on his face.
If this method was feasible, he would have used it long ago. How could he have been trapped in the illusion of life and death for nearly a million years?
Mu Hanyan was delighted. No one else could use this Phoenix Nirvana Fire, but with Liuguang's Qilin body, there was no problem at all. It seemed that she had found the right person. If she wanted to help Liuguang heal his bloodline, this Phoenix Nirvana Fire was exactly what she needed.
"By the way, what happened to those gods' servants you mentioned just now? Did they all die?" Jiang Qiling suddenly asked.
She was a little curious as to whether the clan of divine servants that Taotie mentioned were her ancestors or someone else.
“They were carrying magical weapons that could resist the evil spirit, so not all of them died. A few of them survived, but they were also seriously injured, and their cultivation was almost completely destroyed.
Their previous attack on Zhan Yuan was a great help to our Beast Tribe, so the Phoenix Clan leader healed their injuries before his death. However, although their injuries were healed, their physical constitutions were very different from those of the cultivators of the Holy Continent, and their strength was difficult to recover. Therefore, the Clan leader sent them out of the Blackwood Prison.
They also knew that Zhan Yuan would return to the Blackwood Prison to snatch the Phoenix Nirvana Flame one day after returning to the cycle of reincarnation, so they reached an agreement with the Phoenix Clan Chief that if the descendants of the God Servant Clan regained their strength, they would help the Beast Clan guard the Phoenix Nirvana Flame. In order for them to be able to enter and exit the Blackwood Prison freely, the Clan Chief also specially stamped a divine consciousness mark on a scroll they carried with them. As long as the seal outside the mark was removed, they could return to the hidden place of the Phoenix Nirvana Flame.
"Oh, I heard they damaged a crucial artifact that could only be repaired with the Phoenix Nirvana Flame, so they left it behind as well," Taotie reminisced. He didn't know much about the God's Servant Clan, and after so many years, he'd barely remembered.
"Scroll, you said scroll!" Jiang Qiling suddenly grabbed Taotie's arm.
It was with Mu Hanyan's help that she opened a scroll, leading her to be drawn into the teleportation tunnel and, by some strange coincidence, landed in a realm of life and death. Prior to this, her father and several uncles had vanished due to the scroll. According to Taotie, if they hadn't suffered the same mishap as herself, they must have traveled to the hidden location of the Phoenix Nirvana Flame. Then, they would face Zhan Yuan and the Demonic Dragon Bafeng.
Although he had never seen this man and dragon, he knew how powerful and terrifying they were just by listening to Taotie's words. Although Jiang Yunhe and others were considered top masters in the Holy Court Continent, how could they compete with them?
"Don't worry too much. I don't think it will be easy for Zhan Yuan to find the Phoenix Nirvana Fire. We still have a chance." Mu Hanyan also thought of this and comforted Jiang Qiling, but it seemed like she was comforting herself.
As for how those God Servant Clan elders arrived on the Holy Court Continent, or why the scroll ended up in the North Abyss Mist Source, Mu Hanyan wasn't particularly concerned. Back then, the Sacred Continent had only been shattered and separated for a short time, and the spatial stability was likely less stable than it is today. It was perfectly normal for those individuals to have suffered significant damage and encounter an accident upon leaving the Blackwood Prison, leading to their being dragged into the Holy Court Continent. It was even less surprising that the scroll bearing the Phoenix Mark had fallen into the North Abyss Mist Source.
"What chance is there? This illusion of life and death has taken me tens of thousands of years. With the current strength of the two of you, it is impossible to open it, unless you can help me experiment with the elixir formula to help me restore my original form." Although he didn't know what Jiang Qiling was worried about, but looking at her anxious face, Taotie could easily guess that she had a close relationship with the God Servant Clan, so he took the opportunity to speak.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, Mu Hanyan knew that it would be difficult for her and Jiang Qiling to open the illusion of life and death by themselves. Even if they could think of a way, it would be too late. The only one they could count on was Taotie, the instigator.
"No need to talk so much nonsense. You have seen that my skills are too special and cannot help you experiment with the pill formula at all." Mu Hanyan spread her hands and said.
"You can't do it, but she can." Taotie pointed at Jiang Qiling and showed his malicious "smile" again.
"No, absolutely not." Jiang Qiling's face turned pale, and she jumped up instinctively like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
It wasn't that she didn't care about her father's safety, but because the medicinal soup was so terrible that it had become an indelible tragic memory in her mind, and her rejection of it had almost become instinctive.
"Why don't you try it yourself?" Seeing Jiang Qiling's frightened and miserable expression, Mu Hanyan couldn't bear it and asked Taotie.
"If I could try it myself, I would have tried it a long time ago, but it's impossible. With my powerful physique, this medicinal soup has no effect on me at all. No matter how the herbs are combined, I can't see any effect on me.
"It took me many failures to figure out that only human practitioners with weaker constitutions would see any effects after taking it. I had originally thought there was no hope, but then she showed up and I tried it, and it was indeed true," Taotie said.
Mu Hanyan had no doubts about his words. Trapped in this ethereal realm of life and death for nearly a million years, whether human or beast, they would probably be driven mad. As long as they could escape, what did it matter if they suffered a little? Taotie must have tried many times before finally giving up and turning their attention to humans.
This was the reason why he had previously mistakenly believed that he also had the body of an alien beast or a divine beast.
However, according to Mu Hanyan's guess, even the bodies of other exotic beasts might not be able to withstand the powerful medicinal power of the soup. However, if it were a glutton who eats everything and has a good appetite and strong teeth, such a soup would really be difficult to have any effect.
"Then why don't you just refine it into a pill and test it out?" Although she didn't doubt Taotie's words, Mu Hanyan still found a loophole in his words.
Since the medicinal soup doesn't work, refining it into a pill should work, right?
