Seeking Immortality

All things in the world have spirituality. In the vast three realms, there are some extremely spiritual and powerful beasts. They have unknown magical powers and are considered by many mortals in the world to be the favorite pets of the gods in the three realms. Ordinary people rarely see them in their lifetime. The appearance of some beasts can bring happiness to the world and resolve hostility, so they are regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, while the appearance of some beasts is believed to bring disasters and is regarded as a punishment from heaven to humans.

Of course, the immortals in the world of immortal cultivation know that there is no distinction between the three realms in this world, so they, the so-called immortals in the eyes of mortals, can rarely be the opponents of these beasts, let alone take them as pets.

Among these beasts, some are called ancient beasts because they are extremely powerful and rarely seen in ten thousand years.

The Azure Dragon and the Fire Phoenix are undoubtedly the most familiar ancient beasts in the vast land of Shenzhou. All mortals in the mortal world, even many immortals in the world of immortal cultivation, regard these two beasts as the guardians of the vast land of Shenzhou. This shows the lofty status of these two ancient beasts in the vast land of Shenzhou.

Of course, the mainstream view in the world of immortal cultivation is that there is no ancient beast that protects the vast land of Shenzhou in this world. The so-called ancient beasts such as the Azure Dragon and the Phoenix are just monsters with very powerful strength and long life.

But whether they are monsters or mythical beasts, the influence and strength of the Azure Dragon and the Phoenix are unquestionable. Among them, there are many legends about the phoenix, even more than the Azure Dragon, although the Azure Dragon represents invincible power and even becomes a symbol of the royal family in the mortal world.

The reason why the phoenix is ​​so popular must be mentioned in a word that belongs exclusively to the phoenix-Nirvana! !

It is said that the phoenix has a lifespan of 6,000 years, which is more than half less than that of the Azure Dragon. However, the soul of the phoenix does not enter reincarnation. Whenever the phoenix's lifespan is exhausted or it is seriously injured. It will disperse the phoenix aura in its body and then quietly wait for death.

When a phoenix dies, its body will turn into a strong and blazing flame, but its soul will still exist and will recall the phoenix aura that had previously dispersed. Then, in the flames, it will use the aura of heaven and earth and the aura of the phoenix to reshape its body. The soul and the new body will be perfectly integrated together, welcoming its new life and gaining the memory of the previous life and more powerful power. This is called "rebirth from the ashes", also known as "Phoenix Nirvana", which is the essence of the phoenix legend.

So in a way, it can be said that the phoenix is ​​immortal.

Originally, although the mythical beasts such as the phoenix and the blue dragon were widely spread among humans and immortals, they had no direct relationship with the immortals themselves.

It's just that I don't know when. For some unknown reason, there appeared mysterious immortal families with the blood of various mythical beasts among humans, such as the Xuanyuan family with the blood of the blue dragon. The Beihai family with the Qilin bloodline and the Wu family with the Qiongqi bloodline were famous families in the world of immortal cultivation thousands of years ago. They shared honor and disgrace, and advanced and retreated together. In addition, their extremely powerful strength made them unique in the world of immortal cultivation for a while.

But the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. In the catastrophes in the world of immortal cultivation over the past ten thousand years, these major immortal cultivation families with the bloodline of divine beasts have suffered great losses because of their excessive appearances. They gradually began to decline in the world of immortal cultivation and eventually disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation. The Feng family, which has always been low-key and has few contacts with other families, has survived safely in all the catastrophes, although it is not as prominent as other families.

However, although these families have powerful strength and unique Taoism because of the bloodline of various divine beasts, they only have the bloodline of divine beasts, and they are not these divine beasts themselves. Therefore, although they are powerful, they do not have the magical abilities of those divine beasts. For example, the descendants of the Xuanyuan family do not have the ability to change clouds and rain for no reason like the Azure Dragon. And the descendants of the Feng family do not have the ability of the Phoenix Nirvana.

At least in the nearly ten thousand years of the Feng family, no one has ever heard of any descendant of the Feng family who has ever been Nirvana.

But this time, Feng Qingtian became the only exception in the nearly ten thousand years of the Feng family.

Feng Qingtian's situation is very special. Before the unknown cultivator who performed the "Explosion Spirit Technique" appeared, Feng Qingtian was performing the "Fire Phoenix". Because he wanted to perform, most of the spiritual energy in his body at that time had been released and transformed into the "Fire Phoenix" to attack the Azure Dragon Python, and only a small part of it was left in his body to maintain the flying state.

But after the explosion, although Feng Qingtian was only affected by the residual power of the "Explosion Spirit Technique" under the protection of Wang Qingjun, the "Explosion Spirit Technique" was so powerful that even the residual power was not something that Feng Qingtian, who had no spiritual energy to protect his body at the time, could resist. After the explosion, not only was the little spiritual energy left in Feng Qingtian's body dispersed, but he was also seriously injured and even on the verge of death.

However, there is always a way out. When Xu Qingfan and others retreated later, it was Xu Qingfan who personally carried Feng Qingtian to retreat. Xu Qingfan had the Wutong branch with a strong phoenix aura.

The powerful phoenix aura in the Wutong branch unconsciously awakened the phoenix bloodline in Feng Qingtian's body, and then in turn was driven by the phoenix bloodline in Feng Qingtian's body. In addition, Feng Qingtian just happened to have no phoenix aura that he cultivated in his body at this time, so the phoenix aura in the Wutong branch could flow in without any obstacles.

Later, all the changes were driven by the instinct of the phoenix aura, and even Xu Qingfan was unable to control it.

In addition to being able to transform into phoenix spirit fire to destroy everything in the world, the phoenix spirit energy itself has the power to reorganize the phoenix body, which can be said to be the basis for the phoenix to live forever.

Although Feng Qingtian only has the thin blood of the ancient mythical beast phoenix, and the phoenix spirit energy contained in the phoenix tree branch is even more insignificant than that of the real phoenix, by chance, Feng Qingtian's body still underwent a kind of nirvana-like mutation. Although it is unknown what kind of abnormality will appear after the mutation, at least his life is safe.

As for Xu Qingfan, because he has been refining phoenix branches for many years, he already has a part of phoenix spirit energy in his body, and with the increasingly close connection with the phoenix tree branch, his body's affinity for phoenix spirit energy is no less than that of the descendants of the Feng family. However, this time, when the phoenix spirit energy flowed from the phoenix tree through his body into Feng Qingtian's body, he fainted under the impact, but he also inadvertently participated in Feng Qingtian's mutation and his body began to be transformed by the phoenix spirit energy in the flames.

After this mutation, although the changes in Xu Qingfan's body are far less than those of Feng Qingtian, the protagonist of the mutation, there will still be some differences, but whether these changes are good or bad. It will take time to verify.

It is said that the time for the Phoenix to undergo Nirvana is in the early morning, when the first beam of light hits its body.

In the early morning, the sky is white, and the early sun drives away the endless darkness step by step. The gentle sunlight begins to slowly spread over every inch of the land of Huandao.

In a certain place on Huandao, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang are staring at the mutation in front of them in amazement.

They don't know that Feng Qingtian is undergoing a mutation similar to "Nirvana". When they are running with Xu Qingfan, they find that Xu Qingfan suddenly stops and his face gradually turns pale. Then Feng Qingtian's body suddenly bursts into blazing flames, and then these flames even wrap Xu Qingfan up.

Although these changes are very slow, the two are also very worried about Xu Qingfan, but they don't know how to intervene without knowing the specific reasons. Fearing that a hasty move to stop it would backfire, they could only watch it happen.

The fiery red flames continued to burn, reflecting the uncertain faces of Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang. Although Xu Qingfan was wrapped in the flames, the figures of the two were clearly visible through the flames. It seemed that although the flames were fierce, the two were not hurt at all.

After helplessly watching the abnormality happen, Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang looked at each other in confusion, but they had no countermeasures. Then Lu Qingshang set up a formation to hide the breath around Xu Qingfan and Feng Qingtian, and then they could only wait anxiously for the end of the abnormality.

In the sky, several monks from the Kuxiu Valley were also watching the abnormality happen, with surprise on their faces. Although they vaguely guessed the reason for the abnormality in their hearts. But they couldn't believe it.

"Phoenix Nirvana? This kid from the Feng family can actually achieve Phoenix Nirvana?" A monk from the Kuxiu Valley muttered in disbelief.

Another cultivator's eyes were also full of doubt, but he shook his head and denied it: "It shouldn't be. Although the phoenix spirit contained in the sycamore branch is powerful, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the phoenix itself. And the boy of the Feng family only has the thin blood of the phoenix in his body. These two points are far from enough for Nirvana. In my opinion, this change should be just an incomplete phoenix Nirvana, but no matter what, we don't have to worry about Feng Qingtian's injuries."

Just now, after the cultivators found that Feng Qingtian was seriously injured, they had been hesitating whether to help Feng Qingtian heal his injuries. It stands to reason that Xu Qingfan and the other five people were killed and injured at this time. The cultivators should appear to help. But Xu Qingfan and others now have various suspicions. The cultivators are not convenient to show up and alert the enemy, so they have been hesitating.

Hearing the words of this Kuxiu Valley cultivator. The other cultivators all nodded silently, and then kept silent, watching the change under their feet closely.

I don't know how long it took. It seemed that Xu Qingfan was unconscious for only a moment, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the scorching sun was hanging high in the sky and it was already noon.

Then Xu Qingfan saw Jin Qinghan and Lu Qingshang who were looking at him with concern, and Feng Qingtian who was held in his arms. His body was still wrapped in flames, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be still unconscious.

But strangely, although the flames on Feng Qingtian's body contained great energy, Xu Qingfan did not feel that these flames had caused any harm to him, but instead had a faint sense of intimacy.
