The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 408, Nirvana Technique
Using the "Law of Heaven and Earth" divine power consumed energy extremely quickly, and Hua Changxi could not compete with the guqin for long.

She discovered that when she pulled the guqin with brute force, the nine Nirvana Daowu trees would emit nine-colored light.

Then, the nine-colored light, like nine nine-colored chains, surged toward the zither, hooking it tightly and fixing it firmly in the void. No matter how hard she tried, the zither remained motionless.

Upon realizing this, Hua Changxi stopped futilely trying to fight back and instead focused some of her attention on controlling the fire elemental laws within the Wutong Forest.

In an instant, she forcibly extracted the flames from all the branches and leaves of the sycamore trees in the forest, and even the fire-attribute energy floating in the air.

These energies converged and compressed wildly, emitting a dazzling flame, and finally transformed into a fire axe that was entirely crimson and wreathed in flames.

The moment the fire axe took shape, Hua Changxi swung it without hesitation, slashing down at the nearest chain!

"Dang~"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out!
A blinding light burst forth where the fire axe collided with the chains.

A violent energy shockwave exploded outwards in a ring, causing the entire sycamore forest to tremble, and radiating outwards at a visible speed.

"Zheng~"

The next moment, the chains were cut by the fire axe, causing the zither to vibrate and emit a sharp cry. An invisible sound wave spread out from the zither.

This sound wave is invisible and intangible, yet it contains a terrifying power that strikes directly at the soul.

Outside the sycamore grove, those cultivators who came to spy with the intention of finding a bargain or taking advantage of the chaos were hit head-on by the sound waves. Those with weaker cultivation levels bled from all seven orifices on the spot, while those with stronger cultivation levels were also shaken so badly that their blood and qi surged and they staggered backward.

Hua Changxi, who was at the center of the battle, was also suffering. The sound waves stirred up huge waves in her mind and her blood was boiling.

She groaned, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, the taste of rust instantly filling her mouth.

However, she looked excited.

There's no other reason than that the Fire Axe can truly cut through the Nine-Colored Chains.

However, the next moment, her brows furrowed again.

After the chains were severed, the nine-colored light converged again, forming new chains, but this time the chains were noticeably thinner.

The fire axe swung down again.
It took nine strikes before no new chains formed.

Hua Changxi was panting heavily. She could feel that she couldn't maintain the 'Law of Heaven and Earth' for much longer.

With one chain missing, the stability of the guqin decreased significantly, and it began to wobble slightly.

Hua Changxi seized the opportunity, channeling all his remaining strength into his hands, and exerted a sudden burst of power, as if cleaving through the space of the Zhu Rong Tomb Chicken, using all his strength to move the guqin, forcefully pulling it away from the Nirvana Daowu!
However, the moment the guqin broke free from the chains, another strange event occurred!

"Wow~"

A phoenix cry that could pierce through gold and split rocks resounded through the sky, and the entire guqin burst forth with a dazzling red light.

On the body of the zither, streaks of fire moved like living things, eventually converging at the center of the strings. The next moment, a phoenix, its body ablaze with flames, burst forth from the zither!

This fire phoenix is ​​not a physical entity, but rather a fusion of nine-colored divine light and the essence of the ancient zither.

With eyes like torches and claws like sharp teeth, the fire phoenix charged straight at Hua Changxi with the power to incinerate everything.

The fire phoenix appeared too suddenly and was too close. Hua Changxi didn't even have time to react before the fire phoenix passed right through her body.

"Boom~"

'Law of Heaven and Earth' could no longer hold on, and Hua Changxi's body rapidly shrank. Even so, she did not forget to hold on tightly to the guqin.

"Tear~"

As she regained her original shape, Hua Changxi staggered several steps, her clothes ripped open, revealing a bloody mess of torn flesh.

"Wow~"

High in the sky, the fire phoenix circled, its gaze once again locking onto Hua Changxi, before swooping down. Seeing the fire phoenix attacking again, Hua Changxi's battle spirit ignited. She used the ancient zither, which was vibrating and trying to fly back to the Nirvana Daowu, as a futon and sat down on it. Then, with a 'boom,' her whole body was enveloped in flames.

At this moment, she mobilized all the spiritual power within her body and simultaneously ignited the power of her bloodline.

As his blood and qi surged, a radiant Vermilion Bird appeared.

Immediately afterwards, a cry even louder and more majestic than the previous phoenix cry rang out.
A vermilion bird, its body radiant with light, flew out from Hua Changxi's body. The moment it appeared, the temperature in the entire parasol tree forest suddenly soared, and the fire element in the air frantically converged towards it.

The fire phoenix swooped down, while the vermilion bird soared upwards.

"Boom~"

The collision of flames triggered a cataclysmic impact, and the blinding light instantly engulfed everything.

The cultivators from all sides outside the Wutong Forest were forced to close their eyes by the piercing wound.

When the light faded and the world returned to clarity, the sycamore forest was calm again when everyone opened their eyes.

"Is this the end?"

Outside the sycamore grove, cultivators from all sides were still somewhat unsatisfied; such a high level of combat was something that could not be seen at any time.

"What was the result?"

"Has the Lord of Lingguang Palace retrieved the guqin?"

All the cultivators were very concerned about the outcome of the battle, and some of the more impatient ones were eager to rush into the Wutong Forest to find out more.

Deep within the sycamore grove, Hua Changxi lay atop layers upon layers of sycamore leaves, while leaves continued to fall from the sky.

She slowly opened her eyes, and deep in her pupils, the scene of the Vermilion Bird and the Fire Phoenix colliding head-on still flashed before her eyes.

The Vermilion Bird was unstoppable and its power was terrifying. The moment the Fire Phoenix met it, it collapsed and disintegrated, turning into golden and red runes that scattered down.

All those runes disappeared into her brow, surged into her sea of ​​consciousness, and converged into the ultimate secret inheritance of the Phoenix bloodline—the Nirvana Technique.

After obtaining the 'Nirvana Technique', the Nine Heavens Phoenix Harp automatically recognized its master and fell into her arms.

In an instant, her consciousness connected with the entire sycamore forest.

She sensed the lingering will of countless Vermilion Bird soldiers who had cultivated here, with an arrogance that looked down upon the world, a compassion that protected all living beings, and an unwavering dedication to the pursuit of the Dao... The massive flow of information impacted her soul, carrying a heavy sense of responsibility and entrustment.

After a while, Hua Changxi sat up, rubbing her throbbing forehead, and looked at the guqin in her arms, gently stroking the strings.

The music resonated, its sound deep and resonant, creating a mysterious connection with the power of her bloodline.

She felt that she was no longer separated from this world. The millions of branches and leaves of the sycamore forest moved without wind, making a joyful rustling sound, as if every sycamore tree was expressing its joy and submission to her.

With a slight thought, Hua Changxi caused the flames burning in the forest to rise and fall gently; wherever she went, the paulownia trees made way for her.

At this moment, she seemed to become the embodiment of the will of the parasol tree forest, possessing a seamless sense of control over this world.

"Look, the spatial rift is disappearing."

Outside the sycamore grove, the cultivators saw a soft light curtain spreading out from the center of the grove.

Wherever the light curtain passed, the area outside the sycamore forest filled with hideous spatial rifts melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun. In the end, all the spatial rifts disappeared completely.

The barrier around the Wutong Forest regenerated, and that magnificent world of flames disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Om~"

In the crowd, Yunyou noticed that the One Thought Communicator was vibrating, so she immediately picked it up to take a look.

Palace Master: "Gather manpower to mine in the Wutong Forest!"
