The spirit turtle was like a hermit. It would rather be born with its tail trailing behind it, free and unfettered from the world.
The Qilin was a benevolent being who wished for all living beings to live and multiply without end.
In short, one was afraid of death while the other was greedy for life.
Phoenixes, on the other hand, were saints with noble and pure temperament. They would not perch unless it was a Chinese parasol tree, they would not eat unless it was a refined practice, and they would not drink unless it was a precious spring. Bearing the five characters of "Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, Faith," he was born to stand on the moral high ground.
However, it was also because of this that he was tainted with the deepest karma. The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. If one acts above the masses, the masses will surely disagree.
The weak are easy to break, the bright are easy to stain. The song 'Spring in the Sun' was a song where the number of harmonies would be few. It was difficult to live up to his great reputation.
Therefore, this immortal divine bird could not live forever.
Because he understood the pain of life, he did not covet it. Because he had undergone Nirvana countless times, he was not afraid of death.
Rather than dragging out an ignoble existence, it was better to burn oneself. This spirit of sacrifice was unique to phoenixes.
Li Qingshan leisurely recited, "Phoenix Xi Xi Xi, how can virtue decline!"
He stretched out his wings and began to dance. It danced into a whirlpool of flames, and the whirlpool absorbed the raging earth fire. It caused the magma to cool down and solidify into grayish-black rocks, turning it into a dormant volcano, leaving only a ball of spinning flames at the crater.
Xiao An casually sat down on a piece of volcanic rock that was as red as fire. Her right hand rested on her raised knee as she held a string of shiny white prayer beads. She crossed her left leg before her and stared at the ball of fire in thought.
The original meaning of Nirvana was Buddhism's Parinirvana. It was full of merits and virtues, and it was called Solitude. He did not know what it had to do with phoenixes.
The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty used the Samādhi Flames of White Bone to extinguish all living beings. It was also rather similar to a phoenix's nirvana. However, it could not be reborn, so the living beings would probably not be too happy about it.
The White Bone Bodhisattva regarded this as another powerful proof of the ignorance and lowliness of the mortals, but she could understand this feeling. It was because she wouldn't be happy if Green Mountain couldn't be reborn from nirvana.
A clear and resounding phoenix cry resounded out, clear and crisp like silk being torn apart.
A gorgeous and dazzling phoenix was reborn in the flames. A body full of phoenix blood. It became purer.
The Phoenix Transformation broke through to the sixth stage, and his cultivation rose explosively once more. He was now infinitely close to the fifth heavenly tribulation.
Li Qingshan was pleasantly surprised. So "Phoenix Nirvana" could be used like this.
In other words … As long as he had enough time, he would be able to undergo nirvanic rebirth in the flames every time he recovered his ability. That way, he would be able to improve his Phoenix Nirvana Sutra to the ninth level.
However, the downside was that there was no way to revive after being killed. What he lacked now was time. As for how to use it, he needed to think about it carefully.
"Let's go to the next place!"
They also found a lake among the mountains. Although it was not very big, it was enough.
Li Qingshan sucked in a deep breath. He planned on breaking through to the sixth layer of the Spirit Turtle Transformation here before undergoing the fifth heavenly tribulation.
Time flew by
In the Inheritance Hall of the Wan Xiang Sect, the alarm bell rang.
Only a few of them were in seclusion. True Disciples who were on missions and were not in the vicinity of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect were also summoned. All other True Disciples were summoned.
Ruan Yaozhu was no exception. She looked at Dai Mengfan strangely. The other True Disciples were the same. The heavy atmosphere in the air made it so that no one dared to speak.
Dai Mengfan coughed. "Junior Brother Ge, why don't you say it?"
The Quartermaster Ge Xing strode up to the stage. "Brothers and sisters, let's cut to the chase. The Demon Realm is preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Black Cloud City. Senior Brother Li Liehuo has issued an emergency call for all True Disciples to participate in the war. The military situation is urgent. We are about to go to Black Cloud City to discuss how to defend against the enemy. "
The Inheritance Hall was in an uproar. Everyone's expression changed. Only Le Tian was still smiling, but he also furrowed his brows.
In history, every time the Demon Realm launched a large-scale attack. There would be mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and there would definitely be True Disciples who died.
This wasn't a gamble, but a chess game. There was no winner taking all. If the other side was willing to sacrifice the Demon Emperor, then you would have to use the Human Emperor as a pawn. At most, you would have a small advantage.
Dai Mengfan asked with a frown, "Junior Brother Ge. Junior Sister Ruan is in charge of the Hundred Herb Garden. Is she also on the list? "
"That's right, one counts. You don't have to look at me like that. I'll go to battle after arranging the supplies. "
"Dammit, what's Li Liehuo thinking? Don't tell me demonfolk have already killed their way to the city?"
"They haven't." Ge Xing hesitated.
Ruan Yaozhu could not help but ask, "What about senior sister Chao?"
Dai Mengfan said, "Yeah! In a situation like this, don't we need two army commanders to issue a joint call for it to take effect? "
Ge Xing's expression changed. He hesitated again and again. "Senior sister Chao is currently missing. Senior brother Li said she might've fallen into the Demon Realm or even become a Demon Emperor. As a result, he's already reset the Black Cloud Roar of Thunder Formation to prevent her from infiltrating the city and destroying the formation. This information is top secret. Please don't … "
"What! How dare he? "
Before he had even finished, the True Disciples had already fallen into an uproar, drowning out his voice.
In particular, the female cultivators immediately formed a grand scheme in their hearts. The situation became even more chaotic.
Smack! Dai Mengfan slammed the table. "Shut up! What's with all the ruckus!? "
The Direct Disciple Hall fell silent. Ruan Yaozhu's gentle but firm voice rang out, "Senior sister Chao's life lamp is still present. I refuse to believe she's fallen into the Demon Emperor. If she really has fallen into the Demon Realm, we need to hurry to Black Cloud City and find a way to save her. "
"Senior brother has summoned us in such a hurry probably because of this." Ge Xing sighed. If the "first senior sister" defected to the enemy, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Dai Mengfan said, "You're right, junior sister. Let's go see Li Liehuo right now and get to the bottom of this!"
At this moment, Li Liehuo's heart was filled with anxiety. He paced around in the room.
The vicinity of Coldblood Pass had already become a forbidden zone. Even he dared not enter the Demon Realm again. However, just looking at it from afar, he still found it alarming.
It was impossible to hide the mobilization of an army on such a large scale. It was no longer a competition of schemes and tricks, but strength and momentum.
Once the Demon Gods made up their minds, they were extremely terrifying.
Even he, who controlled the army and watched over the city, could not help but feel powerless before this momentum. He was especially worried that Chao Tianjiao would fall to the Demon Emperor.
Even if he decisively rearranged the Roaring Black Cloud Thunder Formation, making it impossible for her to sneak into the city. She still had all the diagrams of the Roaring Black Cloud Thunder Formation and had the highest authority. There were too many ways to destroy the formation. That was why he was so anxious to summon all the direct disciples here for a meeting. It was to deal with a possible surprise attack.
Their strength was about the same. If she was bent on destroying the formation, he would not be able to stop her. Adding Abbot Yangon to the mix would be pointless.
Also, that Black Roar had to be controlled as soon as possible. Otherwise, one word from Chao Tianjiao would be enough for her to rebel immediately. Fortunately, Huo Hua was watching her, so there would not be any problems for the time being.
"Liehuo, they're all here!"
An abnormally tall and beautiful woman walked in. Her thick red hair was slightly curled. Her face was slightly long, and her nose bridge was high. She had an exotic charm.
She was a head taller than Li Liehuo. She hugged him tightly and whispered in his ear, "If the situation is not good, I'll bring you to the Demonic Beast Path. Let's see who can stop me."
"Huo Hua." Li Liehuo heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, "I won't die here."
