Chapter 1056: Nirvana

Not dead yet?

What the hell does this mean? Playing dead on me?

Xu Que was instantly unhappy and glared at Fu Shanchuan.

Before he could speak, Fu Shanchuan immediately added: "Fellow Daoist Xu, actually, Wu Shifeng possesses a secret technique from an immortal inheritance of ancient times, which allows him to constantly undergo Nirvana and rebirth. If you want to kill him, you must destroy all his physical bodies; otherwise, every time he dies, as long as his physical body remains, he will wake up within a year or two, and his strength and cultivation will achieve extraordinary improvements!"

"Oh? Is there such a powerful secret technique in the world?" Xu Que raised an eyebrow.

Although he said this, he didn't feel strange at all in his heart. Rebirth from a drop of blood, flesh growing from bones—he had long since seen it all, but he hadn't expected that a mere Wu Shifeng would possess such an inheritance!

Fu Shanchuan smiled bitterly: "Actually, I discovered his secret over a hundred years ago, but he was unwilling to hand over this inheritance. Later, when I discovered the weaknesses and flaws of this kind of inheritance, he handed the inheritance jade slip to me and followed me. It's just that for these decades, I haven't been able to obtain the inheritance in the jade slip because that kind of secret technique requires a person with a special physique to cultivate."

Speaking of this, Fu Shanchuan had already very consciously taken out an ancient jade slip and handed it to Xu Que.

Clearly, he was borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, but the thing he offered was indeed an extraordinary treasure, and the purpose was to have Xu Que spare his life.

Xu Que took the jade slip and looked at it, slightly stunned.

Because the inheritance in this jade slip was actually real. According to the system's appraisal, the secret technique in this inheritance was called "Nirvana Art." After experiencing eighty-one death tribulations, one could complete a huge transformation, and only after nine great transformations would it be perfected.

Simply put, eighty-one death tribulations were one cycle, and it required nine cycles to be perfected, so one had to die a total of seven hundred and twenty-nine times. The key was that every time one died, it would take a year or two to wake up again, and as the number of deaths increased, the time for subsequent rebirth and awakening would become longer and longer, and in the end, it might even take thousands or tens of thousands of years.

So, estimating it, wanting to truly perfect Nirvana would take at least tens of thousands of years, and one had to be killed constantly!

"This thing probably isn't suitable for me to practice for a long time!" Xu Que shook his head repeatedly after understanding everything.

He didn't have that kind of patience to invest tens of thousands of years in the same technique. The key was that during these tens of thousands of years, he had to constantly seek death. Isn't this just being full and having nothing to do?

But it had to be said that if one cultivated this secret technique, it might be an excellent means of self-preservation.

For example, if one truly encountered some danger and was accidentally killed by someone, as long as the other party wasn't a maniac who destroyed one's corpse into slag, one could be reborn and awaken.

However, as Fu Shanchuan said, this kind of secret technique required a person with a special physique to cultivate. On one hand, it depended on aptitude—one must possess Heavenly Spirit Roots; on the other hand, the spirit roots must be biased toward Yin-Cold attributes, such as Water-attribute Heavenly Spirit Roots or Wood-attribute Heavenly Spirit Roots.

Because spirit roots represent the speed of cultivation, and also represent the speed of rebirth and awakening.

The more powerful the spirit root, the faster the rebirth and awakening will be.

Xu Que himself not only possessed Five Elements Heavenly Spirit Roots but could also use the Ancient Five Elements Art to transform the five types of Heavenly Spirit Roots into the same attribute, which meant that when he cultivated the Nirvana Art, the speed of rebirth and awakening might be more than five times faster than that of ordinary Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators.

But he still wasn't willing to spend too much time focusing on this. After all, life was so beautiful, and he didn't have any plans to enhance himself by seeking death. Not to mention that the time for rebirth would become longer and longer as he went on.

So this secret technique, to him, could only be used as a means of self-preservation.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, I wonder if this is enough to exchange for my life?" At this moment, Fu Shanchuan looked at Xu Que and asked, his expression incredibly solemn.

This time, he could be considered to have poured out his heart and lungs, wanting to exchange for his life with full sincerity, so he had reserved nothing and said everything Xu Que asked and didn't ask.

Xu Que pondered for a while, then narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Of course, O-K!"

Immediately, he withdrew the broken sword and released Fu Shanchuan directly.

In the end, he didn't have any deep hatred with Fu Shanchuan, and since he would be leaving soon, it wasn't worth it to kill Fu Shanchuan.

Of course, the biggest reason was that he no longer gained experience from killing people; otherwise, according to this guy's past style, he would definitely continue to strike in the dark after taking the benefits, and there would absolutely not be such a tolerant side.

In the end, Xu Que happily took the people from the Da Fang Hui and Great Qi Alliance and left. Fu Shanchuan then let out a long sigh of relief and completely relaxed.

Just looking at the scene of chaos and blood flowing like a river in the Heaven Alliance mansion, Fu Shanchuan sighed again, because Li Tianxun had taken away most of the key members and members, so the dozens of Human Immortal stage cultivators left behind in the Heaven Alliance mansion were killed by the Great Qi Alliance and Da Fang Hui, and both sides suffered not small casualties.

"Forget it!" Fu Shanchuan sighed with emotion, stood up with a face full of disappointment, and finally left as well.

He decided not to stay in the Heaven Alliance. On one hand, it was because his heart was cold; on the other hand, the matter had become like this. If Li Tianxun could still return alive, he definitely wouldn't let him go, so apart from leaving, there was no other way!

And this battle spread throughout the entire Lost City overnight.

All the cultivators in the city were stunned after dawn. They never expected Xu Que to be so bold as to take the initiative to strike the Heaven Alliance, and the key was that he had joined forces with the Great Qi Alliance and Da Fang Hui, beating the Heaven Alliance into such a mess.

For a time, all the cultivators in the city were discussing it, exclaiming that the sky was about to change.

They all knew clearly that Xu Que and the Great Qi Alliance and Da Fang Hui were able to break into the Heaven Alliance so smoothly only because the Alliance Leader Li Tianxun was not in the mansion. Now that things had become like this, when Li Tianxun returned, a bloody battle would be inevitable between the two sides. By then, many innocent people in the Lost City would probably be affected!

So on the second day, many cultivators appeared in the Lost City wanting to leave the city to take refuge. Many people would rather go outside the city to find a place to hide than continue to stay in the city. After all, no one knew when Li Tianxun would return, and how much the battle between him and Xu Que and the Great Qi Alliance and Da Fang Hui would affect them.

However, unexpectedly, Xu Que left the Lost City directly that day, also choosing to leave the city, and was heading toward the Western Suburb.

The point was that even the Great Qi Alliance Leader, Yao Gongming, and the Da Fang Hui President, Lin Baiwan, followed him.

Many people were instantly surprised.

"What's the situation?"

"Could it be that they are also going out to take refuge?"

"Damn it, caused trouble and then ran away first?"

"No, they don't look like they are running away to take refuge!"

"That's right, it's definitely not to take refuge. Who takes refuge without bringing their family members? Especially Lin Baiwan, who is known for doting on his daughter, yet he didn't take the eldest young lady with him."

"Could it be... they are going to find Li Tianxun?"

"Damn, are they so suicidal? At a time like this, not preparing to welcome the Alliance Leader Li's anger, but actually delivering themselves to his door?"

"It seems that the bloody battle will come much faster than we imagined!"

"Is anyone prepared to follow and watch?"

"Aren't you afraid of being affected?"

"Just watch from far away. After all, this is a rare major battle in hundreds of years!"

Many people discussed endlessly. Most people had originally thought about going out to take refuge, but in the end, quite a few couldn't help their curiosity and followed far behind Xu Que's group, heading toward the center of the Western Suburb.
