Tian Xiaoding, Ouyang Qing, and Ah Li saw a golden phoenix at the foot of the silk gold mine. It easily burned to death the huge golden python that was fighting with Xiao Ding and the other three, and then flew towards the top of the mountain.
This golden phoenix has wings spread out to a foot or seventy-eight feet. It is covered with golden phoenix feathers and shines with brilliance. The long quill on its tail is also more than one foot long. Counting the length of its body and head and neck, it can exceed two feet.
Ancient books record: "Feng, Hong in front, Lin in the back, snake head, fish tail, dragon pattern, turtle body, swallow's chin, chicken beak, parallel wings. The first carries virtue, the top reveals righteousness, the back carries benevolence, the heart holds loyalty, and the wings Hold the letter and keep your feet on the right track."
However, the feathers of phoenixes in human legends are generally colorful, consisting of five gorgeous colors. But a single golden phoenix is relatively rare.
Xiao Ding couldn't tell whether this golden phoenix was a species unique to this golden world, or whether it was demoted to this world from the fairy world just like the dragon in Wenxinhai.
I saw this golden phoenix flying to the top of the mine and starting to spit fire at the top of the mountain.
Is there a giant python on the top of the mountain?
Xiao Ding and the other three were very surprised, but they could only stand at the foot of the mountain and watch from a distance, not daring to get close to the top of the mountain.
Although Jin Feng didn't pay attention to Xiao Ding and the others after burning the golden python to death, Xiao Ding and the others still didn't dare to conclude that Jin Feng would not attack them.
If you stand further away, you still have a chance to escape if you notice something is wrong. If the distance is too close, with the speed of the golden phoenix's attack, it may be too late to escape.
Phoenix fire is one of the most powerful fires.
Ancient books record: "The phoenix is a bird of fire and the essence of the sun."
Humans once regarded the phoenix as the god of fire and called it the sun bird. It can be seen how powerful the Phoenix Fire is. A fire that can rival the sun is no ordinary ordinary fire.
As the golden phoenix continued to spray flames towards the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain of the silk gold mine had burned into a large sea of fire. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, what you saw seemed to have burned half of the sky.
Is this going to set the mountain on fire?
But, is this mountain just a mine? Why burn mountains?
It would be incredible to be able to burn the mine to this point.
Just when Xiao Ding and the others were wondering why the golden phoenix set fire to the mountain, they suddenly saw the golden phoenix hanging in the air transforming into a beautiful beauty more than two feet tall. Looking at the blazing fire on the top of the mountain, I don’t know what I am thinking.
It can actually become a human being!
Xiao Ding knows that whether it is a monster or a spiritual beast, if it can transform into a human being, its cultivation level must reach at least the ninth level or above, or it must have been practiced for a certain number of years. No wonder it could burn the golden python to death in one go. It turned out that its level was already very high.
At this time, Ouyang Qing, who was standing next to Xiao Ding, saw Xiao Ding staring directly at the beautiful woman in the form of a golden phoenix floating in the air, and couldn't help but pull Xiao Ding's sleeves.
Xiao Ding withdrew his eyes and turned to look at Ouyang Qing.
Ouyang Qing teased Xiao Ding through her spiritual consciousness: "What? Husband, do you miss humans and animals again? I see that your eyeballs are about to fall to that golden phoenix and you can't pull them out..."
Xiao Ding had a dark look on his face when he heard this. He said in his heart that it was really hard to marry a jealous wife. He just looked at the golden phoenix beauty a few more times, and Qing'er actually became jealous again.
However, he did not dare to complain in front of his wife. He just said nonsense: "That woman transformed into a golden phoenix is not as good-looking as my Qing'er wife. I am just curious about it and have no other thoughts. Wife Don’t get me wrong.”
After hearing this, Ouyang Qing immediately rolled her eyes at Xiao Ding and said, "How can I look good now that I'm like this? Your mouth is the only one that can coax people, huh!"
Although he was complaining, Xiao Ding could tell that Ouyang Qing no longer cared about what happened just now. So he turned back and looked into the air again.
At this time, the incarnation of the golden phoenix, which was more than two feet tall, was looking at the blazing fire on the top of the mountain, frowning and muttering something in a low voice. Because they were far away, Xiao Ding and the others couldn't hear clearly what the woman was saying.
Xiao Ding was thinking that since the golden phoenix could transform into a human being, it meant that it had developed spiritual intelligence and possessed human thinking. I just don’t know if it will be as close to humans as the spirit fox clan.
Naturally, Xiao Ding did not dare to act rashly when dealing with uncertain matters, so he did not lead the two girls up the mountain to approach Jinfeng. He still stood at the foot of the mountain and stared at the sky silently.
Suddenly, the woman transformed into a golden phoenix muttered softly for a while, then suddenly jumped towards the blazing fire on the top of the mountain.
"Ah——" Xiao Ding and the three of them exclaimed almost at the same time.
You know, what is burning on the top of the mountain is the fire of the phoenix! ??????????????????Even the golden python that fought against the three of them before was burned to ashes in an instant in front of the Phoenix fire.
Why did this golden phoenix jump into the fire by itself?
Xiao Ding immediately thought of a word in his mind: Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes.
In the human world, there is such a legend: It is said that the phoenix is the messenger of happiness in the world. Every five hundred years, it will bear all the pain, grievances, and resentments accumulated in the world, and throw itself into the raging fire to burn itself. The end of life and beauty is exchanged for peace and happiness in the world. Similarly, only after the physical body has experienced tremendous pain and reincarnation can they be reborn.
The dying phoenix was thrown into the fire and reborn in the fire. Its feathers became richer, its voice became clearer, and its spirit became more marrow, becoming a beautiful, glorious and eternal fire phoenix.
However, the rumors in the world of cultivation are not like this. What is said in the world of cultivation is that the reason why the Phoenix attains Nirvana from the Fire is because the skills practiced by the Phoenix Clan must go through such stages before they can continue to advance and improve their cultivation. Otherwise, your cultivation will stagnate and you will be unable to advance to the next level.
However, it is said that the Phoenix Clan's method of Nirvana in Fire is the same as human monks who need to survive thunder tribulations when advancing. There are two possibilities of success and failure.
After building the foundation, human monks need to survive thunder tribulations every time they advance to a major realm. If a monk's foundation is unstable or his body is too fragile, he is very likely to fail when trying to overcome the tribulation.
The result of failure ranges from complete destruction of cultivation to direct death. The previous owner of Xiaoding's Qiankun Pot, Taiwu Zhenren, was disturbed by his inner demons when he was about to ascend through the tribulation after attaining the Great Perfection. As a result, he failed to transcend the tribulation, and finally he had to end his life.
When the Phoenix clan advanced, they needed to reach Nirvana in the Fire, and they would also face the risk of failure. The result is the same as that of a human monk who fails to advance, ranging from a complete loss of cultivation to complete death at worst.
When Xiao Ding and the other three saw the woman transformed into a golden phoenix jumping into the phoenix fire that it had spewed out before, they already guessed that perhaps this golden phoenix was going to reach Nirvana and advance here today. Reborn from the ashes.
At this time, the entire mountain top was on fire.
The golden phoenix woman who jumped into the fire was also struggling in the fire. It seemed to be relatively fire-resistant and was not burned to ashes in an instant. Instead, his entire body was enveloped in blazing fire.
The flames were raging and burning on its body, and its mouth kept letting out painful whines, sometimes human voices, sometimes the sound of phoenixes, resounding throughout the sky. In Xiao Ding's opinion, it seemed that the phoenix fire would not burn its body for a while.
The Phoenix is a fire-attributed spiritual beast, and its body's ability to resist fire is naturally extraordinary.
Xiao Ding guessed that the reason why Jin Feng turned into a human form and threw himself into the fire was burned. Perhaps because of its nature, it may not be possible to achieve Nirvana in fire.
The phoenix fire on the top of the mountain was originally spewed out by itself. If its body cannot hold these flames, how can it spew out fire?
So it took human form and jumped into the fire. Perhaps, its transformed body is not as fire-resistant as its original body, so it does this.
Only in this way can it achieve its goal of Nirvana.
However, even so, the innate fire resistance of their phoenix clan also causes them to be very resistant to fire after they transform into humans.
Therefore, after Xiao Ding heard the miserable howl of the golden phoenix woman, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. It was as if he was being burned by fire at the moment.
He was so far away that he could feel the pain of being burned by fire. Think about how painful it must be to be that golden phoenix in the fire.
Not only Xiao Ding, but also Ouyang Qing and Ah Li beside him were biting their lips and frowning. Looking at their expressions, one could guess that they seemed to have felt the golden sensation. The pain of Phoenix being burned by fire. They even looked away, unable to bear to look directly.
Xiao Ding has seen murder scenes before, and he has also seen piles of corpses on the battlefield. But he has never seen such a painful scene like today, burning alive in the fire but not dying.
It seems that it is not easy for this Phoenix Clan to advance once!
Such a tragic scene lasted for more than an hour. The voice of the woman in the fire finally weakened.
Xiao Ding knew that this last critical moment was coming soon. Whether this golden phoenix can successfully advance to the next level today, and whether the pain it has just endured will be rewarded in the end, depends on whether it can finally be reborn.
Success or failure depends on this.
If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.
Ah Li and Ouyang Qing's eyes turned back to the flames on the top of the mountain again.
At this time, the woman transformed into a golden phoenix had fallen into the flames. She was struggling in pain before, but now she was motionless.
The woman who was beautiful and gorgeous before was now covered in burns, making it difficult to distinguish her previous appearance.
In order to see more clearly, Xiao Ding took out the flying cloud shuttle, flew the two girls into the air, and looked down at the top of the mountain from the air. At this time, Xiao Ding was no longer worried about being attacked by the golden phoenix.
This is because the golden phoenix in the fire is already very weak at this time. Even if it still has the strength to attack Xiao Ding and the others, Xiao Ding is still confident that he can use the Feiyun Shuttle to leave quickly.
"Isn't this phoenix burned to death?" Ah Li couldn't help but say.
"This is called risking one's life before rebirth. Phoenix Nirvana, it seems that one dies first and is reborn, right?" Ouyang Qing said to Ah Li through her spiritual consciousness.
"Look at it, it's already so weak. Even if it can be reborn, its cultivation will probably be gone, right?" Ahri said doubtfully.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that the Phoenix Nirvana burns itself to death just to advance. If it cannot advance, then why does it have to suffer so much?" Ouyang Qing said.
At this time, Xiao Ding looked at the burnt body of the golden phoenix in the fire, and wondered in his heart: With the body already burned like this, can this golden phoenix still be reborn?
