Chapter 85 85 "Nirvana" The Phoenix gathered its last spiritual power,...
September 14, the first year of the Aura Recovery, Demiplane? ? ?
It worked. Under the effects of the painkiller, Phoenix lost the glue that held his mind and body together, and entered a state of suspended animation.
Chu Qingge followed him, so it was not his turn to worry about what happened next. As long as she could snatch the Nirvana Fire from the Immortal Bird... ah, it started.
The scorching flames began to burn from every cell in the body, as if the bone marrow was boiling, and every breath was like inhaling boiling lava.
Ning Changkong muttered on the verge of losing consciousness:
"Nirvana fire, can it revive the dead and turn bones into flesh?"
"Pay attention to maintaining consciousness." His familiar cold voice rang out. Chu Qingge concentrated on operating the Nirvana Fire that he took out from Phoenix, and answered his question distractedly: "Theoretically, it should be possible."
"So if I cut off a part of my body now..."
"...I understand." Chu Qingge took a deep breath.
His consciousness sank in agony from his mortal wounds.
It just so happens that it hurts a lot, so no matter what I do, it won't hurt anymore.
The young phoenix gathered the last of its spiritual power and transformed it into a blade to chop down -
"Don't...waste it."
A week ago, September 2, Jinwuyuan.
"By the way, I have something else to tell you..." Ning Changkong took out the silver longevity lock from under his collar and carefully placed it in Bai Xian's palm.
Ning Changkong paused, as if looking for the right words. He hesitated and said, "I want to make a promise with you."
"If someone comes to you with this, you have to believe whatever he or she says, okay?"
The Phoenix's voice carried a hint of pleading after a long absence. Bai Xian was a little dazed, not knowing how to react.
"Oh, I definitely won't let it be taken away by bad guys... I just thought, just in case..."
On September 14, the first year of the spiritual recovery, Ning Changkong appeared in the world 13 minutes after his "death".
As the shadow hanging over the city dissipated and the oppressive atmosphere of panic was swept away, the whole city breathed a sigh of relief. People began to talk about it, with smiles and tears, celebrating their survival in an almost chaotic way.
Those ordinary residents who celebrated the disappearance of the giant structure seemed to have just awakened from a nightmare and were still immersed in the afterglow of ecstasy and had not yet fully recovered.
However, as Jiuli's complete departure was confirmed, some staff members in the Alien Bureau began to notice an unusual atmosphere. A vague sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts, as if behind the hustle and bustle of celebration, there was some unspoken secret hidden.
Where is the Phoenix?
What about the phoenix that flew over the city, briefly inspiring it?
What about the phoenix that proactively goes to an unfamiliar demiplane to fight the enemy in order to delay time?
The command center at the center of the formation fell into a deathly silence after discovering that Blue Bird had left on its own and there was no news from Phoenix.
Although when the Phoenix took the initiative to go to Jiuli, everyone already had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
But even so, no one was willing to bring up the possibility.
It seems that if I don't bring it up, the spell will not be broken and hope will still exist.
Until the bluebird reappeared.
"Bluebird message." Chu Qingge slowly used one hand to tidy up her curly hair. Her dress was still neat and her face was calm.
She announced in a calm tone that she rescued the phoenix before the passage between the human world and Jiuli was completely closed.
"Phoenix was seriously injured and nearly died. He is now in the process of Nirvana. I have been protecting him. Now that his condition has stabilized a little, I came back to report."
"——Don't panic, don't worry. When Nirvana is over, he will be able to return to everyone again."
However, Bai Xian didn't hear her at all. His eyes were fixed on Qingniao's hands covering his body.
The hand seemed to be holding something tightly, and a silver light shone through the fingers.
Chu Qingge walked up to Bai Xian and quietly stuffed the item in her hand into Bai Xian's palm.
The blood-stained longevity lock felt warm to the touch.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Xian. Qingniao was indeed prominent and had a high rank. But when it came to verifying matters concerning the Phoenix, Bai Xian, who was the attendant of the previous and next two generations of Phoenix, undoubtedly had the most say.
No one knew better than him that the phoenix could not achieve nirvana.
Bai Xian heard his own voice: "My young master must have indeed passed away... You don't have to worry."
The hand hidden under the wide sleeves tightly grasped the longevity lock, the fingers turned white due to the force, and he almost wanted to embed the sharp edges of the lock into his palm.
September 15th, the first year of the Reiki Restoration, Longyuan Academy, the familiar group study room.
Su Yunyao opened the door and walked in. Except for her, the other three people had already arrived and were busy with their own things.
Yan Xiaoling looked up and greeted with a smile: "Are you here?"
Su Yunyao responded lightly, took out books and homework from his schoolbag, and placed them neatly on the table.
Wen Qingsheng glanced at it inadvertently, and asked curiously, "Is this... "Introduction to Spells"? The cover color of the latest edition has changed?"
Yan Xiaoling came over and echoed in surprise: "Really, and it has become much thicker--"
"Yes," Su Yunyao sighed and explained, "Because we added the new model proposed by President Xiaoyan and Miss Qingniao. The previous model was completed in one month, so the previous final exam papers can no longer be used for reference, and I don't know how the exam will be this year."
She spread out her homework and began to fill in the answers skillfully.
"You finish the homework for this course really quickly." Wen Qingsheng praised casually, then turned his attention back to the sword in his hand and wiped it carefully.
Half a year ago, he became a disciple of Zuo Langning, but it happened that the revival of spiritual energy brought many disturbances. Zuo Langning was very busy in the past six months. She worked hard and finally made this sword for Wen Qingsheng before the sect competition.
Su Yunyao raised his lips slightly and said modestly, "After all, I have already learned it from Mingqi-kun."
In fact, this book is adapted from "Modern Talismans" published by Tianwang Mall, and the examples and homework are copied from there.
The after-class analysis of "Modern Spells" was written by Su Yunyao. The little fox wagged its tail proudly. It was so cool to be able to show its ears and tail in school.
Gu Minghui, who was slacking off, looked up and his cell phone screen lit up: "The official announcement of the incident that happened yesterday has been made."
Despite the strict government control over public opinion, photos taken by citizens of the huge phantom of Jiuli City appearing in the sky inevitably spread on the Internet.
Of course, this also includes the scene where the phoenix flew through the air.
In the best-shot video, the camera was originally focused on the tense scene of practitioners heroically rescuing residents after a house collapsed.
However, at this moment, the camera suddenly lifted up and captured a breathtaking picture: under the dark sky, the golden and red phoenix figure broke through the sky, like a meteor breaking through the night sky, brilliant and dazzling.
Amid the chaos and ruins on the ground and the dangerous shadows in the sky, the Phoenix became the only bright spot. His figure was like a flame of hope, burning in despair.
The shocking images can be called works of art. These videos quickly went viral on major social media platforms, attracting widespread attention and discussion.
Su Yunyao approached Gu Minghui's phone with concern. She called Bai Xian after reading the report yesterday, but the call didn't go through.
Bai Xian only sent a message asking her to wait for the official announcement, and he was not in a position to give too many explanations in private.
"Mingqi-kun is seriously injured..." Wen Qingsheng also came over and read the report on Gu Minghui's phone, and sighed, "It seems that this is a very powerful evil spirit."
After all, the Phoenix is really strong, Wen Qingsheng thought.
Due to various considerations, Chi Zhaoming only said in the official announcement that it was a cult organization that summoned the long-exiled demiplane, and that the phoenix fought against the ancient evil spirits in the demiplane, and did not mention the matter of Chi You.
Su Yunyao read the words with some worry: "Mingqi-kun is currently in confinement to recuperate, and is now fine... Miss Qingniao actually came forward to testify. I've never seen such a thing before."
They are both divine birds, and their deeds are powerful. The little fox breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the teacher should be fine.
Wen Qingsheng and Su Yunyao finished their lively chat and returned to their seats. Gu Minghui continued to browse the comments section and said casually, "No wonder there was talk yesterday that the phoenix had been reborn."
"In fact, some people are saying this now, and the authorities haven't denied it either." Wen Qingsheng opened the Tianwang forum on his phone and scrolled through all the discussions about yesterday's incident. "Look at the hot topics on the Tianwang forum. If this wasn't the case, Bluebird would have asked people to delete all the posts long ago."
Yan Xiaoling did not join them, but stayed alone in her seat, reading various information by herself. She rested her chin on her hand, as if thinking about something.
Green Bird and Phoenix are both divine birds, so it is not surprising that they know each other. However, Chu Qingge rarely shows up for matters other than Tiangong Technology, so this time it seems particularly unusual.
Phoenix Nirvana... Resurrection from the dead... The relationship between the Phoenix and the Blue Bird...
The clues in Yan Xiaoling's mind were tangled up in a mess. The conclusion seemed to be within reach and about to surface, but it always seemed to be covered by a layer of fog.
September 15th, the first year of the Aura Recovery, Demiplane? ? ? .

Yan Yian: I just watched the press conference of the Foreign Affairs Bureau. How are you two doing? @楚清歌
Yan Yian: Is everything okay?
Chu Qingge's gaze shifted from the mobile phone screen to the large wooden barrel that had been temporarily moved into the corner of Phoenix's bedroom.
Even though the blood-soaked sheets had been burned by her and the bloodstains on the floor had been cleaned, that corner was still filled with the smell of blood and the rich aura of phoenix spiritual power.
She turned to look at Ning Changkong, who was lying unconscious under the quilt on the bed, and Phoenix, who was lying quietly on the floor, and sighed.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have helped Ning Changkong take away the flesh and blood from his body before his "Nirvana"...
Never mind. With his tattered body at that time, there was probably no difference between letting the Nirvana Fire heal the wounds and directly regenerating flesh and blood.
In the end, he needs to be put to sleep for a while to slowly restore his body functions.
Phoenix was forced to shut down by the pain relief technique, and then the power was unplugged, and now it is completely shut down. His power source (Nirvana Fire) is still repairing Ning Changkong's body, and he can't plug it back in for a while.
I hope Phoenix doesn't have any work arrangements during this period, so he won't show off. Chu Qingge glanced at the door of the bedroom with some anxiety, and lowered his head to type again.
Chu Qingge: It's all right. His condition has stabilized a long time ago.
Chu Qingge: He is still in deep sleep. He will probably wake up in a few days. By then, he will be fully recovered.
Jiang Yunxiao let out a breath slowly, and finally let go of his worried heart.
Jiang Yunxiao: I'm glad you're okay. Tell Teacher Ning to get some rest.
Chu Qingge imitated Ning Changkong's tone and joked: Don't worry, a descendant of a divine beast won't die that easily.
Chu Qingge: I have to take care of him, so I won't be coming to work for the next few days.
It was still just a superficial imitation. Jiang Yunxiao shook his head in a confused and amused manner.
Chu Qingge's version of Qingniao always exudes a kind of reliable temperament that is hard to conceal. At this time, she will still ask for leave, but if it were Ning Changkong, he would probably make up an excuse and disappear.
Yan Yian: By the way, did Professor Chu take away the prototype of the array solving system from the research center yesterday?
Yan Yian: The people at the research center thought there was a thief, so they checked the surveillance and found out that it was you who took it [covering face]
Yan Yian: The research team in charge of this area asked you when you would have time to return the machine. They would continue their research.
Chu Qingge: Uh
Chu Qingge: It seems that I broke that machine?
The scale of the town-level formation for summoning Jiuli was too large, and the experimental prototype died immediately after the analysis was completed.
Boss Jiang decided to take back Chu Qingge's reliable evaluation.
