Many years ago, according to human legends and records, there were three tribes of mythical beasts in the world.
The first is the dragon clan, which can move mountains and seas and soar into the sky; the second is the phoenix clan, which can control fire and become a spirit, and be reborn from the nirvana; the third is the unicorn clan, which can bring peace to the world once it descends.
Back then, it wasn't humans or demons who dominated Xuantian Continent, but the three races of divine beasts. However, for unknown reasons, these three races gradually became extinct. By 30,000 years ago, the Qilin clan had vanished entirely, and even the immortal Phoenix clan had vanished. Only the Dragon clan remained, with only the Demon Lord Cang Ruo remaining. Now, only Jin Li remains.
Luo Jianqing never thought that the Phoenix Clan’s demise was actually a punishment from Heaven.
He couldn't understand why, when it was someone else who had seized the Phoenix girl Chi Yun's cultivation and secretly become an immortal himself, Heaven didn't punish that person, but instead punished Chi Yun and even the Phoenix clan.
These secrets were like thick fog, trapping Luo Jianqing inside. He could not see the way forward, nor could he see the way back.
Although Chi Yun once possessed the qualifications to become an immortal and nearly ascended to the immortal realm, she was now little more than a wisp of obsession, not even a remnant of soul. When she taught Luo Jianqing the Phoenix Clan's unique secret technique of Nirvana, she unleashed a blazing phoenix fire, flapping her wings and enveloping Luo Jianqing in flames.
Luo Jianqing was about to resist when he heard Chi Yun say, "Don't resist. Let this fire burn your body and leave a Phoenix Fire seed in your Dantian."
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Jianqing gave up resisting.
Phoenix Fire was the purest and most powerful fire in the universe. Burned by such a fierce inferno, Luo Jianqing could clearly hear the crackling sound of his skin. Strangely, his skin didn't burn or ulcerate at all, not even a strand of his hair was burned. Yet, the pain that transcended the flesh was truly transmitted through his skin and into Luo Jianqing's body.
The flames flowed through the tendons and veins, stirring every thick and spacious vein and exploring inside.
Entering from the Tianling acupoint, going all the way down, until the flames rushed into the extremely vast Dantian, they suddenly stopped.
Luo Jianqing was already sweating profusely from the pain, his mind dazed, and he only managed to hold on by willpower, thus avoiding fainting. Naturally, he also didn't see that when Chi Yun manipulated the Phoenix Fire into his Dantian, upon seeing his lotus-shaped Yuan Shen, he suddenly turned pale with shock, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"So... this is the essence of Dao cultivation!"
Chi Yun's eyes instantly cleared, as if she had seen through something. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips in a self-deprecating smile. She raised her right hand and drew a number of strange symbols in the air. With each stroke, golden runes appeared in the air. Finally, she slapped the runes towards Luo Jianqing with a palm.
"Nirvana, cessation, inaction, non-birth!"
"We, the Phoenix Clan, are willing to be roasted by myriad flames, experience a hundred kinds of suffering in the world, and endure endless hardships, just to achieve nirvana and rebirth."
"Free from the sufferings of birth and death, in the bliss of complete tranquility, the ultimate fruit of virtue!"
"Nirvana, new life!"
A raging fire suddenly broke out in Luo Jianqing's dantian, enveloping his entire dantian.
Luo Jianqing groaned in pain, his arms tightly wrapped around himself, as if he were back in his mother's arms, wrapping himself tightly and curling up. But his actions couldn't stop the endless fire burning in his body.
The fire seemed to become a physical object, sweeping through every corner of Luo Jianqing's Dantian with great force, burning it into a pitch-black darkness. However, when it came to the small Yuanshen, the Phoenix Fire hesitated for a moment and passed by. Unexpectedly, the Yuanshen took the initiative to entangle it.
Chi Yun's face changed and he quickly controlled Fenghuo to escape to the side.
This soul actually chased after it relentlessly, and relying on its advantage in Dantian, it quickly entangled with the Phoenix Fire and merged itself into the Phoenix Fire.
"ah!"
The soul entered the Phoenix Fire, and the burning pain caused Luo Jianqing to cry out in agony. The soul is a cultivator's most sensitive area, and now that it was being burned by the Phoenix Fire, the pain was naturally unbearable.
If the pain of being hacked to pieces and buried in the bones was the pain of despair, it could still be endured; then the pain of his soul being burned by the phoenix fire was a hundred times more painful. The pain was so severe that Luo Jianqing wanted to give up everything and die, which was better than enduring the torture here.
Chi Yun had never expected the changes in Luo Jianqing's soul. She naturally knew that the souls of human cultivators could not withstand the scorching of phoenix fire, but the Qinglian soul was like a dog-skin plaster, clinging tightly to the ball of phoenix fire and refusing to leave.
Even though its owner was bleeding from the mouth and rolling on the ground in pain, this spirit seemed to be unaware of everything and was concentrating on spinning in the phoenix fire.
Chi Yun narrowed his eyes: "No, if this continues, his soul will definitely shatter and he will definitely die!"
The next moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in Chi Yun's eyes, but in the end he pinched his fingers, ready to take back the Phoenix Fire.
boom!
A powerful force suddenly interrupted Chi Yun's actions. She was knocked back and looked at Luo Jianqing in shock. When she found that the Phoenix Fire had lost contact with her and remained alone in Luo Jianqing's Dantian, no longer paying attention to her, Chi Yun was horrified and could not believe that such a thing could happen.
Although she only has a hint of obsession, she also possesses a wisp of phoenix fire.
This phoenix fire is her last phoenix fire, and also the last phoenix fire on the Xuantian Continent.
Chi Yun originally intended to use this phoenix fire to leave a tiny spark in Luo Jianqing's body, so that if Luo Jianqing encountered any fatal danger in the future, he could use this opportunity to achieve nirvana and gain a chance for rebirth. But you must know that the spark is gone once used, so Luo Jianqing only had that one chance, but the phoenix fire is endless and endless!
