Chapter 351: Three Lives Reincarnation Technique
Luo Changhe’s achievement of the High-Grade Golden Core caused quite a stir throughout the entire Peach Blossom Spring Cave Heaven.
High-Grade Golden Cores were too difficult to achieve. Even Duan Tiannan, with his extraordinary talent, had only managed to condense a Mid-Grade Golden Core in the end.
Not long after, Luo Changhe, like Chu Liang, began to preach in the Cave Heaven world.
Many immortals wanted to visit Chu Liang.
But Chu Liang did not return, merely stating that he was in closed-door cultivation and it was inconvenient to receive guests.
The sliver of hope he saw during his divination was within himself, so he couldn’t waste too much time.
“The matters of the mortal world are settled. It’s time to focus on breaking through.”
Chu Liang spent one last day with his many relatives and friends.
He spent a large amount of treasures to greatly enhance the root bone and strength of his Second Uncle’s family.
Second Uncle and Second Aunt originally had very ordinary physiques, but he forcibly elevated them to the level of top-tier geniuses, and their strength was also forcefully pushed to the Late Bone Tempering Realm.
Having done all this, he bid farewell to everyone and went alone to the Phoenix Nest in the North Sea.
The Phoenix Nest was located on an immortal mountain in the North Sea.
The immortal mountain was shrouded in ancient formations, invisible to the naked eye, and undetectable by immortal power. Without a map, even Chu Liang would have found it difficult to locate.
“This is the place.”
Chu Liang arrived above the North Sea, where the vast ocean stretched endlessly, and the waves surged violently.
He formed hand seals with both hands, sending out streaks of immortal light into the void in front of him.
After a moment, a rift opened in the void, and the formation activated. Wisps of scorching crimson light drifted out from within.
Chu Liang’s figure flashed, and he entered through the rift. The rift quickly closed, returning to its previous state.
Within the formation was a whole new world!
Before Chu Liang’s eyes appeared a vast divine island suspended in the void.
Crimson clouds surged on the island, as if it were burning. Rivers of red, resembling lava, cascaded down from all sides, flowing into the endless void.
“What a mysterious place, so intensely hot. Ordinary creatures couldn’t possibly survive here. No wonder it’s the divine island where the ancient True Phoenix race resided.” Chu Liang landed on the divine island.
As far as the eye could see, the heavens and earth were a crimson red, and the air itself was distorted.
Only one type of tree grew on the island. Its branches were gnarled and intertwined like dragons, semi-transparent, resembling rubies. Its leaves were actually burning seven-colored flames.
Walking on the island, Chu Liang was constantly subjected to extreme heat.
“The Nirvana Fire is at the center of this island.”
He frowned slightly and walked step by step, leaving deep and shallow footprints on the cracked earth.
The closer he got to the center of the island, the higher the temperature became.
Gradually, the brutal burning sensation became unbearable even for ordinary immortals. Only immortals at the Foundation Establishment Realm and above could withstand it.
At the center of the divine island was a huge volcanic crater.
Above the crater floated an ancient tree formed from seven-colored flames. The seven-colored firelight was dazzlingly beautiful, and the surrounding void constantly twisted and changed, as if it could barely withstand the temperature of this ancient tree.
This ancient tree was the greatest opportunity on the entire divine island—the Nirvana Fire!
The temperature near it was such that even ordinary Golden Core cultivators could barely endure it. They couldn’t get too close, or they would be burned to ashes.
“The power of Nirvana, from death to life, has similarities to my power of reincarnation.”
Chu Liang sat cross-legged on the edge of the crater, his gaze calm as he stared at the burning, hot ancient tree.
The other flames on the island were all considered sub-flames of this Nirvana Fire. They could also help him transform and bring him great fortune, without too much danger.
Liang Changsheng’s original intention was for him to use the sub-flames for Nirvana.
But Chu Liang was not satisfied.
He had to strive with all his might for that sliver of hope. Every step had to be taken to the extreme!
“Come!”
His will was firm. He opened his mouth and inhaled, instantly swallowing the Nirvana Fire into his body.
In an instant, an extreme heat, like the harshest of tortures, erupted from within, scorching his flesh, blood, organs, and meridians. It made his blood boil!
The void around Chu Liang began to twist. His skin shriveled, and wisps of seven-colored flames seeped out of his pores. His entire body was burning!
In just a few breaths, his life force plummeted to rock bottom.
◈◈◈
His Qi and blood were depleted, his skin withered, like a mummy that had been weathered for thousands of years. He was completely unrecognizable.
By the ninth breath, Chu Liang’s life force had completely vanished.
He had perished!
The scorching seven-colored flames continued to burn, from the inside out, making his already lifeless body even more shriveled.
This was Nirvana, a mysterious and profound process. If one could endure it, they would be reborn and gain unimaginable benefits.
But if one couldn’t endure it, they would truly die.
Another nine breaths later…
A sliver of life force suddenly emerged within the withered husk.
“As expected of the Nirvana Fire. If not for the Life and Death Reincarnation Technique, I would surely have died today,” Chu Liang mused, silently experiencing the feeling of rebirth through Nirvana.
This extinction and rebirth were indeed similar to his reincarnation, except that it was induced by external forces.
Chu Liang’s Reincarnation Technique required abandoning the old body.
But this Nirvana Fire used the old body as nourishment, burning it with fierce flames, and giving birth to a new body within the old one.
This new body was far stronger than the old one.
Although Chu Liang’s cultivation had not improved, his Golden Core became even more radiant, its quality far surpassing before. Moreover, a layer of faint, resplendent firelight now surrounded his Golden Core.
“It seems I can control the Nirvana Fire now?”
He pointed a finger, and a wisp of scorching firelight emerged from his fingertip.
If used in combat, this wisp of firelight would be enough to burn countless Golden Core cultivators to death.
Soon, cracks appeared on the shriveled body.
The old body completely cracked open, crumbled, and was burned to ashes.
A new body appeared, emanating a powerful aura. It was unharmed even as the firelight burned.
“It’s time to create my Immortal Technique.”
Chu Liang closed his eyes and remained seated cross-legged on the edge of the crater.
He remained motionless, and in this moment of extinction and rebirth, combined with his various insights, he began to perfect that Immortal Technique.
Three months later, he slowly opened his eyes. Within them, the sun and moon alternated, as if he had experienced countless cycles of reincarnation.
“The past is but fleeting clouds, joys and sorrows like a dream, and the past is empty!”
A mysterious and profound aura surged from within him, carrying an endless sense of vicissitude. It gathered beside him and formed a blurry figure.
Immortal light appeared on this figure, with wisps of immortal energy. A flower of immortal energy condensed above its head.
It remained hazy and indistinct, as if it were the past.
Chu Liang spoke again, “This life is not yet over, the future is vast. Through the cycles of time, I remain unchanged.”
Another aura surged forth, ethereal and vague, as if coming from the unfathomable end of time. It gathered beside him and formed another figure.
On this figure, too, immortal light was hazy, and a flower of immortal energy appeared above its head.
On Chu Liang’s own body, a flower of immortal energy also appeared.
“Past life, present life, future life, three lives united, reincarnation unending.”
“As long as time endures, I am immortal!”
The three flowers of immortal energy bloomed, their immortal mist vast and resplendent.
In that instant, heaven and earth trembled, the void roared, and a terrifying wave swept across all realms, alarming countless powerful beings.
Chu Liang’s Immortal Technique was finally created.
“This technique shall be called 《Three Lives Reincarnation Technique》.”
