Nirvana Begins

Chapter 89 Nirvana Begins

The six disciples of the sages were unaware of the strange things that Di Jun and Tai Yi had done. At this moment, they were all gathered around Guang Chengzi, who was in a coma in the center, thinking about how to revive him.

Upon hearing Laozi's request, a hint of difficulty crossed Nuwa's flawless face: "If it is to be reborn, that is a simple matter, but resurrection is difficult—"

The Great Dao of Creation is omnipotent, or rather, any Great Dao is omnipotent, but Goddess Nuwa is not powerful enough to resurrect an immortal Golden Immortal.

Rebirth is easy; anything can be reborn. But resurrection is really difficult.

Moreover, it's not just faking death to escape; it's a real death followed by resurrection, which goes against the laws of nature.

Unless one can become an existence that even the laws cannot restrain, such as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, no one can resist them.

"To be reborn from the brink of death, one must first die to understand how wonderful life is. Guang Chengzi must use his willpower to escape the predicament of death at the moment of death and forcibly revive. Only in this way can he get rid of Shen Ni's entanglement and even take over everything of Shen Ni."

Lao Tzu has already made his final judgment, and others have racked their brains but can't think of any other way. In the end, they have to admit that only Lao Tzu's method of putting oneself in a do-or-die situation is the best way.

Indeed, if one wants to possess another's body, one must possess life, not death. Death is already dead; possessing death is still death, so what's the point of possessing it? Why not just wait to die?

Even a god cannot defy this natural law unless he can regain his full strength and become a primordial god capable of distorting the rules. Otherwise, he must either seize Guang Chengzi's body directly or escape immediately upon his death.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal is not bound by the rules, while the Primordial Golden Immortal can twist the rules in reverse, such as water flowing uphill and rain pouring into the sky.

As for Primordial Golden Immortals, such as Hongjun Daozu, they can establish new rules, such as engraving the Immortal Path in the primordial world, and from then on, the Immortal Path will become the cultivation choice for everyone.

The Divine Rebellion can only be the Primordial God, also known as the Primordial Golden Immortal in the Immortal Path. Such an existence possesses all sorts of incredible powers, and even obtaining just a trace of their imprint could lead to being possessed by their will.

Even though Guang Shenzi only obtained a piece of Shen Ni's Heavenly Blood Stone, which wasn't even Shen Ni's own, but rather the tears that Heaven shed for Shen Ni, he still ended up in such a state. What about others?

That's why these six disciples of the sages were so helpless. Fortunately, Shen Ni had not yet achieved the Hunyuan Daluo level and could not formulate new rules. He could only distort the existing rules.

Therefore, the six of them were able to use all sorts of heaven-defying treasures to forcibly stabilize the rules, forcing even the gods to abide by them, such as not being able to possess the dead.

However, the decision-making power should still be left to Yuanshi Tianzun, since Guangchengzi is his disciple.

Seeing Guang Chengzi growing increasingly ferocious, Yuanshi Tianzun gritted his teeth and said, "I believe in my disciple. Besides, even if we fail, I can forcibly rescue him later. At worst, I'll personally ask my master to intervene during the third sermon!"

This means that they have already agreed.

The other five, seeing this, did not hesitate any longer and immediately began to put Guang Chengzi into Nirvana.

Lao Tzu and Nuwa worked together; the former brought out the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and the latter used the Creation Fire. In this rebirth, the two of them were the main force.

As for the remaining four, they kept a close eye on Guang Chengzi's condition. As soon as Guang Chengzi died, they immediately made their move to kill Shen Ni's remnant soul and prevent it from continuing to be arrogant.

Inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the furnace temperature soared, and streaks of emerald green flames burned everywhere, slowly licking Guang Chengzi's body. A rich life force surged into his body, but instead of bringing miracles of creation, it brought destruction.

The opposite of life is death; too much life only invites too much death.

Nuwa's actions were naturally intended to allow Guang Chengzi to comprehend the true meaning of life in the face of ultimate death, and to maximally obliterate Guang Chengzi's body during the transformation of the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

As the flames grew stronger and more intense, Guang Chengzi was awakened by the excruciating pain. Feeling the scorching flames on his body, he knew that his rebirth had begun.

"Rising from the ashes, resurrected and reborn!"

Guang Chengzi sat cross-legged, his body hunched over. He felt every inch of his flesh, every wisp of his soul, and every bit of his magical power gradually melting away under the scorching flames, disappearing without a trace.

The immortal gold that we were once so proud of has also flowed away like water, leaving not a single drop.

Without the support of these immortal auras, Guang Chengzi naturally began to age rapidly, his body filled with death energy, and he was on the verge of collapse. Even if more life energy were added to him, it would only be like adding dry firewood to a raging fire or pouring a bucket of black oil on it, only making the death more intense.

It is painful, of course.

The pain of having one's cultivation completely dissipated is unbearable even for those who are completely unaware. This is not physical pain, but rather a torment of the soul, a spasm as if all the past arduous cultivation has turned to ashes.

Even Guang Chengzi was experiencing this kind of spiritual suffering.

It's so bitter!

Before Guang Chengzi could even let out a scream, the remnant soul of Shen Ni within his body couldn't hold back any longer.

This wisp of remnant soul kept crying out in bitterness. He had never experienced the pain of his cultivation being completely dissipated, because he was already a Primordial God. Even if he died, his cultivation would be difficult for others to take away, and he even had the chance to be resurrected. Naturally, he had never felt such pain before.

Now, he finally tasted the full spectrum of life's flavors.

Feeling the pain of this remnant soul, Guang Chengzi opened his eyes in his mind and laughed, "So you can't even endure this kind of pain. It seems you are one of those great gods who only cultivate magical powers but not the Dao heart. It is indeed a common problem of ancient great beings."

Although the remnant soul of Shen Ni was in great pain, it still coldly said in the face of the junior's ridicule: "What do you know, child? What Dao Heart or what Dao Heart? These are all lies!"

I never cultivate my Dao heart, yet I am still a Primordial Great God. Those patriarchs of the three great clans who created the world cultivate their Dao hearts, like the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth...

The Yin-Yang Ancestor and the Tai Chi Ancestor cultivated their Daoist hearts, but what was the result? They either died or were crippled.

Even Rahu hid in the Thirty-Sixth Realm of Extraterrestrial Demons, even abandoning his own name to become the Primordial Demon, ending up with the same fate as me. What use is cultivating the Dao?

Indeed, Pangu, who created the world, did not cultivate his Dao heart. His Dao cultivation was weak. He only cared about magical powers and cultivating his foundation. As for cultivating his Dao heart, he did so as he pleased.

Therefore, among them emerged a Dao Ancestor named Hongjun, and naturally also a Clan Chief named Shenni.
