The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 407, Tug-of-War

Knowing that the royal family wanted to verify her identity, Hua Changxi still replied to Yu Fu with a message saying "ignore it".

Before this, both Qihuang Pavilion and Lingjing Pavilion had specifically requested her attendance at their meetings, but she had never shown up.

This time, she should show up obediently; perhaps the royal family will think she's guilty.

She has now come to terms with it: whether she acknowledges or not whether she is the Lord of Lingguang Palace, the outside world will waver between belief and disbelief.

Since people will question us whether we respond or not, let outsiders guess.

Hua Changxi was unwilling to waste too much energy on these trivial matters, so she returned her attention to her cultivation.

With repeated recitation of the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, Hei Yan finally calmed down, and the various emotions surging in her heart were also calmed down.

Hua Changxi took a breath, stood up, and continued walking deeper into the parasol tree forest.

Outside the sycamore grove, the bloodline is purified.

Surrounded by sycamore trees, unleash your potential.

The help that the Wutong Forest provided to cultivators truly exceeded Hua Changxi's expectations.

The heat in the air continued to rise. Hua Changxi looked at the towering ancient trees in the heart of the parasol forest, and the ancient zither floating above them. She, who was always fearless, hesitated at this moment.

I'm hesitant about whether to delve deeper!
She knew that to obtain the guqin and become the master of the Wutong Forest, she would inevitably have to undergo trials.

Having just experienced that sudden lightning tribulation, she was terrified.

She feared that she would be affected by the black flames again during the trial.

Are we leaving the Wutong Forest now?

Certainly not.

The Vermilion Bird Army needs the Wutong Forest, and the Wutong trees in the Wutong Forest, as well as the Fire Spirit Ore, are resources that the Vermilion Bird Army urgently needs.

Hua Changxi sighed, feeling exhausted, and leaned back against the paulownia tree, feeling the warm pulse of the tree in return while gazing at the few Nirvana Path paulownias deep in the paulownia forest.

There are nine Nirvana Sycamore trees in total, arranged in a perfect circle along some mysterious trajectory.

Nine trees, evenly spaced apart, with their roots connected to the underground veins, form a natural celestial constellation, each leaf shimmering with a lustrous light.

The Nine Heavens Phoenix Cry Ancient Qin floats above the encirclement formed by the nine Nirvana Dao Wutong trees.

The surface of the strings shimmered with a faint glow, as if flames were dancing inside.

The instrument's design is simple and grand, yet it exudes a sacred and inviolable majesty, as if it were formed from the most primal power in the world.

For the Phoenix Clan and humans with the bloodline of the Phoenix, the Nirvana Dao Wu might have a fatal attraction for purifying their bloodline, but for Hua Changxi, what she sensed was the 'Daoist charm' emanating from the Nirvana Dao Wu.

The 'chain of light' within Hua Changxi's body, which had been dimmed by the sealing of his chakras, suddenly trembled like parched grass receiving rain after sensing the 'Daoist rhythm'.

The originally gray chain first began to emanate tiny specks of light, and then these specks of light, like fireflies, converged into thin streams like strands of hair, slowly flowing along the path of the light chain.

Summoned by the 'Daoist Charm', Hua Changxi's hesitation vanished. Suppressing all her worries, she stepped towards the Nirvana Daowu.

"Zheng~"

As soon as Hua Changxi stepped into the circular domain formed by the nine Nirvana Dao Wutong trees, the Nine Heavens Phoenix Cry Ancient Qin floating in the air seemed to be infused with life.

The seven strings moved automatically without wind, plucked at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and produced a clear, resonant sound that could pierce through metal and split rocks.

As the zither's waves spread, a nine-colored Nirvana True Fire ripple, imbued with the meaning of creation and destruction, directly attacked Hua Changxi.

"Boom~"

The fire surged suddenly, and Hua Changxi was instantly pulled into a boundless, raging sea of ​​fire.

Hua Changxi had been in a sea of ​​fire countless times before, so she showed no sign of panic.

However, in just a few breaths, she was horrified to discover that the inferno here was completely different from those she had experienced before.

Her body, which had been tempered to an extremely powerful state, was now showing signs of dissipating, like snowflakes thrown into boiling water.

It's not burning, it's not carbonization, but rather being decomposed from the very essence of its existence.

Hua Changxi's pupils suddenly contracted.

What kind of place is Wutonglin?
The place where the phoenix roosts. The phoenix.
nirvana
"This is... the Nirvana Fire Sea!"

Hua Changxi instantly understood the purpose of the guqin.

This is no ordinary test, but the most direct ritual of Nirvana!
Nirvana is life born from death. First comes death, then life.

The guqin (a seven-stringed zither) was meant for her to experience the entire process of a phoenix rising from the ashes and being reborn after countless tribulations.

This means that she must actively release all defenses, completely immerse herself in the flames of destruction, allow her physical body to be dismembered and dissipated in the flames, and then, in the ashes, use her nascent soul as a seed to reshape her physical body.

Once she successfully undergoes Nirvana, she will be able to completely control this parasol tree forest and become the true "Master of the Parasol Tree Forest".

Hua Changxi's heart was in turmoil. When she cultivated the 'Law of Heaven and Earth', she held back because of her fear of losing herself and dared not completely merge with heaven and earth.

Now, the test of the guqin is that she must give up her life and destroy the physical body she uses.

Hua Changxi certainly couldn't do it, nor was he willing to.

As the Nirvana Flame began to erode his body more and more severely, his right arm had become semi-transparent, and his consciousness was starting to become somewhat blurred by the pressure of the flames, Hua Changxi's heart once again panicked uncontrollably.

When you panic, fear grows like a persistent, insidious disease.

The black flames on her nascent soul immediately shot out like venomous snakes, growing wildly and rapidly amplifying her fear.

Having experienced the terror of being completely overwhelmed by fear before, Hua Changxi did not hesitate at all this time. He poured all his strength into his legs, transformed into a blur, and rushed desperately back the way he came!
"Huhuhu~"

Hua Changxi leaned against the paulownia tree, panting heavily. Although the lingering fear and unease of being in the Nirvana Fire Sea still lingered in her heart, she showed no intention of giving up when she looked at the guqin above the Nirvana Road paulownia tree.

She wouldn't allow herself to be truly controlled by the black flames, nor would she allow herself to be defeated by them, but at this moment she truly had no way to deal with them.

If we don't confront the black flames head-on, meaning we can't directly face the test of Nirvana, then we'll have to find another way to seize the zither.

Accepting the test is the proper way.

If she wants to bypass the test, she can only resort to force.

Once she had calmed down, Hua Changxi immediately unleashed the 'Law of Heaven and Earth' divine power.

Her body instantly grew taller and swelled!

In the blink of an eye, a giant appeared, taller than Nirvana Daowu and radiating boundless pressure!

Hua Changxi stood outside Nirvana Daowu, like a god or demon standing tall and firm, and stretched out a giant hand that blotted out the sky and the sun, grabbing fiercely at the floating zither!
"Zheng~"

Hua Changxi sensed that the guqin would retaliate, and disregarding the guqin's attack, quickly grabbed the guqin.

Because she was not standing in the middle of the Nirvana Daowu, and was not pulled into the Nirvana fire sea, the fire waves emitted by the guqin were like sharp blades heavily slashing at her body.

At the same time, the sound of the guqin can also awe the soul.

Hua Changxi withstood the heavy blows from the guqin thanks to his strong physique.

"Boom~"

The guqin was instantly engulfed in flames, which not only burned Hua Changxi's hands but also spread along her arms to other parts of her body, as if determined to reduce her to ashes.

"Wanhuo Chaozong~"

Once the supernatural power was activated, the flames emanating from the guqin no longer posed much of a burning threat to Hua Changxi.

But she still couldn't move the guqin away from the Nirvana Road.

Meanwhile, outside the Wutong Forest, cultivators from all sides who had been paying attention to this place witnessed an unprecedented tug-of-war—a struggling giant versus an unmoving ancient zither.

Above the central holy land, Wei Zhenjie helplessly lowered his head and covered his head with his hands.

What is the zither used for?

It was played.

What's the deal with arguing with the zither?

This Lord of Lingguang Palace is really not very bright.
