Why can the phoenix be reborn from the ashes?
In reality, the Phoenix's greatest strength wasn't wind or fire, nor was it the imperial power of the earth. The so-called power of the earth was the power of samsara! The power of samsara wasn't controlled by the laws of heaven, but rather existed alongside the universe. When the power of samsara weakened, it became the power of the earth that the Phoenix Emperor could control.
Nirvana, in fact, is to use the subtle power of reincarnation in the Phoenix Fire to let each phoenix experience a reincarnation, making their reincarnation lines clearer and more solid, and their strength will increase accordingly.
Back then, True Immortal Chi Yun had left Luo Jianqing with only a tiny flame of Phoenix Fire. He could only use this tiny flame to diligently trace the shape of a line in the air, connecting the flame from Xuan Lingzi's body to the earth, and then from the earth to Xuan Lingzi.
Luo Jianqing had already observed many reincarnation lines, and he knew where Xuan Lingzi's reincarnation line should be, so he tried his best and kept trying.
The agony of the phoenix fire burning the primordial spirit would bring any Mahayana cultivator to its knees. Yet, at this moment, Xuan Lingzi kept his eyes tightly shut, not uttering a single cry of pain. Luo Jianqing seemed even more oblivious to the pain, completely focused on reshaping the reincarnation line, oblivious to his surroundings.
If this flame goes out, use the paulownia leaves to light another one!
Every time the flame moved along Xuan Lingzi's reincarnation line, Luo Jianqing would exhaust all his spiritual power, but he did not hesitate to draw the Phoenix Fire into his body, using this violent flame to replace his spiritual power and continue to operate "Nine Lotuses Record of Taking Over the Heavens".
If others knew about this crazy behavior, they would be horrified.
Replacing spiritual power with the fire of the divine beast is simply courting death!
Luo Jianqing's eyeballs kept trembling under his eyelids, and his soul was gradually weakened by the restless Phoenix Fire, but Luo Jianqing still guided the Phoenix Fire into his body regardless and continued to reshape the reincarnation line for Xuan Lingzi.
This behavior was repeated a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times.
Just as Luo Jianqing was about to draw fire into his body once again, he suddenly felt someone grab his hand. Luo Jianqing struggled to open his eyes and saw the cold and handsome white-robed venerable looking at him with his eyes slightly lowered. He shook his head gently, unable to speak, but everything was already said without words.
Xuan Lingzi said: Give up, Jianqing.
Luo Jianqing felt a pain in his heart and held Xuan Lingzi's hand tightly with his backhand.
Give up? How to give up! Once you give up, there will be no next time!
If we don't give up, you and I will both die in this ever-burning fire of Nirvana.
But I will never give up!
Even the phoenix cannot withstand the scorching fire for such a long time, let alone your soul and mine.
Luo Jianqing's heart ached with pain. He knew full well that if he didn't achieve true nirvana, both his and Xuan Lingzi's spirits would be burned to ashes by the Phoenix Fire. But he was unwilling to give up this only chance to reshape the cycle of reincarnation.
Nirvana is nothing more than a secret method for the Phoenix to be reborn and increase its lifespan after being seriously injured or falling.
However, what Luo Jianqing wanted to do was to use the true meaning of reincarnation during Nirvana to reshape Xuan Lingzi's reincarnation. Even if they succeeded in Nirvana at this moment, it would only increase their own strength. Xuan Lingzi still had no reincarnation line. Without the ability to reshape the reincarnation line, it would be meaningless for Luo Jianqing!
Luo Jianqing closed his eyes and stopped looking at Xuan Lingzi. He continued to reshape the reincarnation line again and again, but failed again and again.
Just as he was reshaping it for the umpteenth time, suddenly! A powerful and terrifying wind blew from his side, causing the Phoenix Fire to tremble. Luo Jianqing immediately opened his eyes and looked behind him, only to see the green-leafed Phoenix being crushed by the snow-white Qilin's hoof. The entire red barrier trembled wildly, and then...
boom!
The barrier was broken, and the powerful men from the two tribes flew into the range of the Wutong tree and began to rush towards Luo Jianqing.
Luo Jianqing's eyes flashed, and he immediately began to reshape his reincarnation line. He put all his energy into this reshaping. His Green Lotus Soul trembled constantly, as if it would shatter at any moment, but he gritted his teeth and continued to reshape it.
A red thread slowly formed, guided by the flames. This thread was extremely thin, so thin that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, but it was actually climbing up from the ground, step by step, guided by the flames, towards Xuan Lingzi's body.
The leaves of the paulownia trees dropped rustlingly, blocking the progress of these venerable and powerful people and forcing them to slow down.
Ten miles, nine miles, eight miles apart...
Sweat gradually appeared on Luo Jianqing's forehead. He worked hard to reshape this extremely precious reincarnation thread. The whites of his eyes slowly turned bright red, and a little bit of spiritual power spread outward and disappeared into the air.
This thread has already shaped one third...
Only half left...
one third……
One fifth...
Luo Jianqing's mind was intensely focused, his gaze fixed on the string, the flame guiding it. The sound of wind breaking behind him grew closer, but just as the string was about to be shaped, a furious roar erupted from behind him. It was at that very moment!
clang!
The flame went out instantly, and the bright red thread that had been reshaped by 90% also disappeared suddenly.
Luo Jianqing opened his eyes wide, and blood immediately flowed from them, dripping onto his fair cheeks. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, then without hesitation, began to make hand gestures, striking himself and Xuan Lingzi with fiery red marks, activating the last secret technique and beginning his final nirvana.
The phoenix fire burned even more fiercely, nearly consuming the souls of Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi as it roared and devoured them. However, at this moment, a snow-white shadow flew in front of the two of them. It raised its hoof to strike, but was blocked by a sharp sword.
