Chapter 296: Withered Glory Nirvana Method (Seeking monthly tickets! Seeking follow-up!)

This is a garden covering a very wide area, more than a hundred miles in radius, with various plants and vegetation rarely seen in the outside world, as well as small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and halls.

However, compared to the beautiful pure land of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, this place has a unique feature, which is that it is very old.

Whether it is the bridge or those halls and pavilions, they all give people a sense of being able to weather and collapse at any time, as if they haven't been inhabited for thousands of years, letting them rot in the years, emitting a special aura like an old man in his twilight years.

"Dead Qi?"

Wu Xian walked in this garden, grabbed a handful of wind and sniffed it between his nose, his eyebrows frowned deeply, and at the same time, he vaguely felt the abnormality. It seemed that some power shrouded this area, plundering the essence in all creatures in it.

For this, Wu Xian had expected it long ago. Bright red light rose from his body, jumping like flames, following that traction force, flowing to the deepest part of the garden.

At the same time, strands of divine light poured down from the sky, which were the essence of the vast stars and the lunar star, falling into the garden like silver raindrops, looking very miraculous.

Taking a step, the Shrinking Ground to Inch supernatural power was activated, and Wu Xian skipped the distance of more than a hundred miles and arrived at his destination.

That was a garden within a garden. Its periphery had ancient stone walls, also covered with mottled traces of years, but it was slightly better than the outside, at least very clean, without any dust, as if someone often cleaned and managed it here.

Wu Xian looked at it slightly, then didn't pay too much attention, walked into the garden, the red light on his body swayed like a candle flame, clearly accelerating the speed of absorbing essence, and had approached the source.

After walking about a hundred meters, Wu Xian's footsteps finally paused, and in his eyes reflected the endless light rain falling, a peaceful and sacred scene.

And where the light rain fell, a plant was extremely eye-catching. It was the sacrificial spirit of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

This was a gourd vine, only five or six meters long, with sparse leaves, and the vines were withered, yellow, and rotten. Even if bathed in light rain, it could not alleviate its withered and decadent trend.

Only a green gourd under the yellow leaves was still very miraculous, lingering with strands of chaos Qi, giving people a dangerous feeling.

Wu Xian looked at the gourd vine quietly, golden flames jumping in his pupils, able to clearly see the other party's weakness and old age, but the little flame hidden in the green-skinned gourd was still full of terrifying power, and it also contained a familiar aura, similar to the Rain God decree in the Void God Realm earlier.

"Is it the power of laws in the divine fire?"

Wu Xian muttered to himself, recalling the description of the Divine Flame Realm by the Willow God when they were discussing the Dao.

In short, this is the first threshold for cultivators to become extraordinary. After igniting the divine fire in the body, whether it is the physical body, primordial spirit, or magic power, it will undergo a qualitative transformation. Between raising hands and feet, there is the power to destroy the world, which is by no means comparable to ordinary Venerable Realm cultivators.

However, the Divine Flame Realm is not a real god after all, so its divine fire is not stable, so the increased lifespan is limited, usually living for about ten thousand years.

It seems very long, but if you can't continue to break through the realm, you can only accept the fate of dying of old age in the end.

For example, this gourd vine has existed since the founding of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, with a history of at least tens of thousands of years, far exceeding the limit of ordinary Divine Flame Realm, and now it can survive, all relying on a thought to support it.

Now seeing this sacrificial spirit with his own eyes, Wu Xian found that the other party's situation was even worse than he thought before, truly at the end of its rope. No wonder in the original work, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion tried various means but could not save it and live a second life.

One can imagine that without special opportunities or heaven-defying treasures like immortal medicine, this vine is really hard to persist.

"Who are you..."

A weak voice sounded, with the low and hoarse voice unique to old people.

"I didn't feel the restrictions of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion on you. You are not a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Saying this, the green-skinned gourd hidden by the yellow leaves began to tremble, spitting out more chaos Qi, and then condensed and compressed, turning into the shape of sword light.

"Who I am is not important, what is important is what I am here to do."

Ignoring the other party's threat, Wu Xian continued to walk forward, with a calm smile on his face: "Old Gourd... I'll just call you that. Are you interested in making a deal with me?"

The gourd vine's withered vines twisted, and the chaos Qi on the green-skinned gourd was also flickering, as if considering something. After a long while, it replied: "Speak."

"I have a way to extend your lifespan, and if you are lucky, you can even make your divine fire completely stable and break through to a higher realm. However, the success rate of this method is not high. Once it fails, you will die faster."

Saying this, Wu Xian pointed to himself again: "But I can promise you that if you die because of this, I will take action to protect the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and keep its status as a holy land."

"Then what if it succeeds? What do you want?"

The gourd vine asked at this time, seemingly without any doubt about whether Wu Xian had the ability to protect the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, even though in its perception, this strange child was only a Cave Heaven Realm cultivation.

"Very simple, I want the qualification to enter the Ancient Holy Academy. In addition, you must take action for me three times unconditionally... By the way! Your green-skinned gourd also looks good. After you break through successfully, I think it will be useless, so just give it to me to hold beast milk."

"Hold... beast milk?"

The gourd vine's voice was stunned, seemingly unable to understand Wu Xian's brain circuit.

The previous requirements were fine, but this green-skinned gourd contained its divine fire seed, which was coveted by countless factions in the outside world. As a result, in the eyes of this person, it was just a container for holding beast milk drinks.

Thinking this, the gourd vine sacrificial spirit suddenly felt dumbfounded, and the originally slow thinking became much more active.

"The last question, why should I believe you."

The gourd vine asked, its tone more gentle than before.

"You don't need to believe me, just believe in yourself."

Saying this, Wu Xian raised his hand to point at his brow, pulled out a blue light group and shot it at the gourd vine. The other party extended a vine, caught this light group, and after confirming that there was no problem, watched the content inside.

"Withered Glory Nirvana Method?"

The gourd vine's voice was low, its tone thought-provoking.

"Very mysterious secret method, which can enter the state of silence by absorbing a large amount of dead Qi, and then use a method similar to Phoenix Nirvana to transform dead Qi into vitality, making the physical body, primordial spirit, and magic power strength greatly improved.

Combined with my own fundamental cultivation method, it is indeed possible to reignite the divine fire, or even completely stabilize it, helping me step into the True One realm."

"Unfortunately... you came too late. If it were ten years earlier, it might really work, but I am too old to resist the erosion of dead Qi at all. The first step is impossible, so how can we talk about extending life and breaking through."

"Only you alone, of course, it won't work."

Wu Xian smiled slightly, and then sat cross-legged on the spot, the red light on his body disappeared, and instead began to actively absorb the dead Qi scattered around the gourd vine.

"But with me, it's not necessarily!"
