ephemera…
The most evil monster created by heaven and earth
Others might be confused after hearing this, but Jianchou knew it clearly - or rather, no one in the entire Polar Region knew it better than her.
This mayfly refers to Fu Chaosheng.
He disguised himself as Li Han from the Ghost King Clan and sneaked into Ding Zheng. Now he was in the same team with her. However, he lost contact with them after entering the Eighteen Layers of Hell.
Although she left a letter for him, she didn't know where he was now.
Jianchou frowned slightly, staring at the nine-headed bird totem in front of him, and pondered: "... What do you mean, senior?"
"This demon possesses the eyes of the universe, able to see everywhere, from ancient times to the present."
"My remaining soul is weakened and cannot stop him for long. Also, he is accompanied by my old friend Kunpeng, so I am afraid he will find me soon."
"The demon's nature is evil, cruel and bloodthirsty."
"He went against the will of heaven and the Way, using his life-giving body to gain immortality and benefit from the lack of reincarnation. If he knew that we would reincarnate again, the consequences would be disastrous."
"My friend Jianchou is the only person who can send a message to Yashan. Although you two know each other, the nature of the evil spirit is hard to predict. Since he dares to go against the will of heaven, it is not surprising that he would kill you."
"Yes, but please remember—"
"This letter should not reveal any clues, so as not to be seen by this demon."
The Nine-headed Bird's voice was very deep and slow. It seemed that this matter was so important that even it did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, Fu Chaosheng is a great demon born by heaven and earth.
Even though his cultivation level would increase or decrease due to the law of birth and death, it would be easy for him to kill the female cultivator in front of him.
You can tell its worry and sadness.
But the more she listened, the more she sensed a strange subtlety, and for a moment she did not respond.
If you count carefully, the number of times she and Fu Chaosheng have crossed paths is very few. Even the few times they met, they seemed very fleeting.
But she didn't have a very bad impression of this "most evil monster born from heaven and earth".
In fact, she could always feel that kindness.
Because she not only recognized this monster, but also witnessed with her own eyes his enlightenment from a mayfly and transformation into the so-called "big monster".
"When the sun rises, I live; when the sun sets, I die."
"If you smell it, you will die. Why?"
"If the Tao prevents me from living for more than a day, I will make sure that the sun never sets, that there will be no morning or evening, no day or night, that time never flows, and that eternity will be like one day..."
Such thrilling words.
It was imprinted in her heart when she first embarked on the path of monasticism.
To this day, Jianchou still can't tell whether she accidentally made Fu Chaosheng "hear the truth" or Fu Chaosheng made her "hear the truth".
After a glimpse of her at Dameng Reef in the West Sea, he sent a letter to Guihejing, calling her "old friend" and asking about her well.
At that time, she didn't know what the word "Gu" meant.
After a short while, we went boating on the river, fishing and making soup.
She just said that mayflies live in the morning and die in the evening, and one day is a lifetime. For her, talking to him and meeting him for a few words was just a chance encounter; but for him, it was like knowing each other for a long time, almost half a lifetime.
Therefore, it can be called the word "therefore".
This is a very wonderful fate, which she still cannot explain clearly.
But what she could feel was the other party's kindness.
Born by heaven and earth, if one goes against heaven, does that make him the most evil monster
She really doesn't know.
But if Fu Chaosheng said that he knew that the Nine-headed Bird wanted her to convey a message to Yashan, and that he would kill her in order to cut off the connection between the Nineteen Continents and the Nine-headed Bird and prevent the restoration of reincarnation, she actually didn't believe it.
She has never been a person who believes everything she hears.
On the contrary, although she appears easy-going and seems to be easy to get along with, she is not someone who changes her cognition and ideas easily, and will not be easily influenced by others.
not to mention…
She believed that revenge should be taken on the spot, and would not wait until the next day unless it was absolutely necessary. But the Nine-headed Bird asked her master to put aside the "grudges within the Nineteen Continents" and attack the Extreme Domain first.
Although she didn't know what this "grudge" referred to, she actually felt uncomfortable listening to the previous sentence.
So he was silent for a while. Jianchou thought for a while and didn't mention that the Cosmic Eye in Fu Chaosheng's eyes was lent by him, nor did he refute the Nine-headed Bird's words. He just smiled and said, "You are right. Although I have no grudge against this person, I will be safe if I am careful. I will not tell him this news, please rest assured."
This statement is actually very flawless.
If you agree to something right away, people will think it is too straightforward; only if you make a decision after careful consideration and with some difficulty, people will be more convinced.
The nine-headed bird really had no doubts.
It looked at Jianchou, and of course it also saw the Emperor Purple Soul Bead floating in Jianchou's heart, which was close to perfection.
However, above the purple pattern, there were countless flashes of lightning.
The overly refined soul power and deterrent force were actually exploding continuously in the crack of the soul bead!
The success of soul bead cultivation is a good thing.
However, Jianchou's soul bead had a crack due to the lack of soul. In this case, the overly refined soul power would only shake the crack, putting this soul bead on the verge of collapse!
We can’t wait any longer!
"Since my friend has such a plan in his mind, I feel at ease."
"The battle for the cauldron in the eighteen levels of hell is full of difficulties. The eight directions of the hell palace have begun to care about you, but the road ahead is still difficult."
"I will now use the remaining strength of my soul to lend a helping hand!"
The vicissitudes of life and the deep voice rippled in this dark space for a moment.
Jianchou was sitting cross-legged in the dark river. He naturally felt the changes in his soul bead and developed a vague sense of instability.
As soon as the Nine-headed Bird finished speaking, the snow-white totem immediately began to boil like boiling water. A dark purple-near black light emanated from the totem and went straight to Jianchou's brow!
“Buzz!”
At that moment, Jianchou could only hear the sound of huge bells and huge drums in his mind!
The faint light that shot out was like a sharp arrow. With a "pop" sound, the sharp arrow hit the soul orb, as if it had hit a glass bead!
The entire imperial purple soul bead suddenly shattered with a "crash"!
Jianchou was suddenly shocked.
But the expected pain did not come.
That deep purple light penetrated into her forehead and broke through the soul bead, but it did not disappear immediately. Instead, it shrank into a ball and turned into a pool of scattered clear spring water.
All the broken soul bead fragments were immersed in it.
Wonderful changes happen in an instant.
One by one, the fragments were like pieces of iron dropped into molten iron, and they melted into it!
The entire ball of deep purple, almost black light, gradually faded as the soul bead fragments were thrown in, and gradually turned into the same imperial purple as the soul bead!
At that moment, Jianchou seemed to hear a "tick-tock" sound.
The ball of round purple light gathered between her eyebrows actually created countless ripples of imperial purple at that moment!
One circle follows another.
Starting from her ancestral orifice, layer upon layer, it gradually covered her head, face, neck, and even her entire body...
At this moment, Jianchou suddenly understood.
Jade Nirvana!
The fourth realm of cultivation in the extreme realm!
After the soul bead realm is perfected, the soul bead must be broken into pieces and refined with soul power, so that it melts like flowing jade, covers the entire body, and disappears into the soul body, making full preparations for the next level of "golden body".
But if there is any corner of the soul that cannot be covered, "Jade Nirvana" will be considered a failure.
Generally speaking, the larger the soul bead and the purer the soul power, the higher the probability of success.
But Jianchou's three souls and seven spirits were incomplete, and there was a crack on the soul bead.
The bigger the soul bead, the bigger the crack.
When striving for "Jade Nirvana", there are inherent defects, not to mention the numerous dangers contained within - if you are not careful, your soul may be destroyed during the smelting process!
Now the Nine-headed Bird had used this deep purple light as a guide to shatter her soul bead in order to help her forcibly break through to the realm of Jade Nirvana and make up for the soul bead fragments and pure soul power that were lost due to the cracks in her soul bead!
Jianchou's heart was shaken for a moment.
But the current situation did not allow her to think any more!
The ripples of imperial purple were about to cover her entire body.
Jianchou held his breath and concentrated, then formed seals with his hands and quickly made hand gestures, drawing all the soul power in his body and rushing towards the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, to refine the purple light transformed from the soul bead.
If the soul bead is like iron, then Jianchou's soul power is undoubtedly fire.
The pure soul power, like a high-temperature flame, instantly melted out the impurities in the soul bead. In the blink of an eye, the ball of purple light began to change.
The originally transparent purple color seemed to have a little milk dropped into it, and gradually it had a texture as translucent as purple jade!
The ripples that spread out also changed accordingly.
It ripples out in circles, and the light, originally clear and transparent, suddenly becomes moist and restrained, less sharp and more majestic.
Little by little…
The purple jade light covered more and more places.
The man Jianchou was lying in the dark river, motionless, but his whole body was emitting a dazzling light!
This layer of purple jade has covered her entire body, but there is an inch of gap between it and her body, and it has not yet been integrated into her body.
The final step to achieve "Jade Nirvana" is to force this layer of jade into the body.
If it takes too long to press it in, the soul power will dissipate and the jade will collapse.
Naturally, cultivation will no longer exist.
It can be said that the closer to the last step, the more dangerous it is!
In just a moment of thinking, Jianchou already felt the jade covering her body, showing signs of moving away from her soul. At that moment, she no longer dared to hesitate, gritted her teeth, and formed seals with both hands!
Those are two completely different handprints.
One palm seal is like a Buddha's hand lotus, and the other palm seal is like three peaks overturning!
She had seen the final step of the method to achieve Nirvana in the old house of the owner, and was quite impressed by these two hand seals.
So doing it at this moment seems so natural.
“Bang!”
She placed her palms together, and the two handprints suddenly collided with each other, and it was as if a madly spinning vortex was formed in the palms of her hands!
At this moment, the jade all over her body seemed to be attracted by this vortex!
But with a "click" sound, this layer of jade quickly moved two inches closer to her soul!
Jianchou continued to close her palms towards the middle, and every time she closed them a little, the outer layer of jade moved closer to her soul. I don't know if it was because of the help of the nine-headed bird, the whole process was smoother than ever before.
From beginning to end, there was hardly any obstacle.
This is something that Jianchou has almost never encountered in his practice since the beginning.
So much so that after she easily put her palms together and formed the two hand seals into one, she was actually a little surprised - is that it
All I heard was a slight "hum" sound.
The jade around him, the moment it was closest to her body, disappeared into a cloud of smoke and completely sank into her body!
The feeling at that moment was like all rivers flowing into the sea!
The soul power that was originally used to refine the purple jade essence, mixed with this majestic light, actually returned to her body.
At this moment, the soul orb no longer exists.
Yes, but the soul power flowing through her body was more than ten times purer than before the ritual? !
Even on her body surface, there were faint traces of ancient and crude seals, flashing with light, as if she was wearing a battle robe!
There seemed to be flowers blooming above the spiritual platform.
It's amazing.
When Jianchou opened her eyes, there was a hint of deep purple jade in her eyes, carrying a strong majesty and nobleness, which instantly distinguished her from everything around her!
The aura around him also changed, and even when he was sitting, he felt a sense of trembling...
In front of the Black Wind Cave, the light of the snow-white totem had dimmed.
Her eyes happened to meet the Nine-headed Bird, and she opened her mouth to ask: "Senior—"
Unexpectedly, the totem gradually dimmed. Only the vicissitudes and distant echoes echoed in the cold and quiet cave...
"The Jade Nirvana is complete, and the Mayfly is coming."
"My dear friend, please remember my words. We will part today, but we hope to meet again in the Yin and Yang world in the future..."
Before Jianchou could open his mouth to ask whether the various illusions of the Nineteen Continents he had seen before were true or false, in the blink of an eye, he saw that the originally snow-white totem completely turned into nothingness and disappeared at the entrance of the cave, without even a trace of it being found!
It was as if the legendary nine-headed bird had never appeared.
She frowned immediately, but the next moment, her heart skipped a beat—
Mayfly, coming
