Chapter 1111: Chapter 196: Nirvana Becomes the Phoenix (Three Updates)

Chu Nian looked at the Phoenix Emperor with some suspicion, uncertain about the promise.

The Phoenix Emperor immediately raised both hands above his head and swore, "I promise, I absolutely will not touch him."

Chu Nian pursed her lips, staring at the Phoenix for a while, her eyes complex. This man in front of her, she met for the first time, and right upon meeting, he said something difficult for her to accept.

Yet, she felt this person was very familiar.

In the presence of the Wuhua God Emperor, she felt respect. However, in front of this man, she could willfully indulge her little whims.

Why?

The reason, Chu Nian dared not delve deeply into.

Seeing Chu Nian not speaking, the Phoenix Emperor moved closer and asked, "Daughter, you are the Princess of our Phoenix Clan, you cannot unite with the Human Clan, did you know?"

His words were very earnest, with a sincere and heartfelt expression.

Chu Nian’s lips quivered slightly, and she said coldly, "Rest assured, he already has a wife, I will not marry him."

"Already has a wife?" The Phoenix was startled, his previously gloomy face immediately broke into a smile. "It’s good he has a wife! It’s good he has a wife! Ahem, not bad, since the person already has a wife, we don’t have to lower ourselves to him."

Chu Nian glanced at him and then casually withdrew her gaze.

In fact, her feelings for Mu Qingge had not reached an inextricable deep love. For her, knowing that Mu Qingge had a wife, maintaining a friendship, a drinking buddy relationship, was already the most satisfying outcome.

At least, it was something different, wasn’t it?

Ending the topic about Mu Qingge, the Phoenix Emperor sneakily glanced at Chu Nian, anxiously said, "Daughter, this is your first Nirvana, once you succeed, you will become a true Huang’er. Father hopes you will remember previous events, to tell Father where your mother is."

Chu Nian looked up at the Phoenix Emperor, her taut face showing no sign of softening.

The father and daughter stared at each other for a while, then Chu Nian spoke, "What exactly happened back then?"

Recalling the past, the Phoenix Emperor sighed, "Back then, I had just ascended the throne, the clan was unstable, and I couldn’t spare attention for your mother. Your mother was also a strong person, knowing I couldn’t be distracted, she never told me she was going to undergo her second Nirvana. At that time, she was carrying you, we all eagerly awaited your birth. We even said, whether you were a Feng or Huang, we would name you Chu Nian."

"My name!" Chu Nian murmured, somewhat surprised.

She had always thought that the name Chu Nian was given by the Wuhua God Emperor. It should be said that since she had memory, everyone called her that.

Pain flashed in the Phoenix Emperor’s eyes, "But later, an accident happened. Your mother, on her way back from the Dragon Clan, finally underwent Nirvana. She couldn’t make it back to the Phoenix Tree Forest in time and could only send me a message. However, by the time I arrived with others, she was no longer there. Since then, I lost your traces."

"How long does the Nirvana of the Phoenix Clan take?" Chu Nian suddenly asked.

The Phoenix Emperor replied, "The first Nirvana takes a relatively long time, as short as six or seven years, as long as nearly a hundred years. However, you don’t have to worry, in the Phoenix Tree Forest, no matter how long you need, it’s safe. After the first Nirvana, any subsequent Nirvana would be much faster. Days, or a month, could be completed."

Chu Nian remained silent, her thoughts unknown.

The Phoenix Emperor sighed and said, "Now you don’t have to think too much, focus on facing your first Nirvana. For our Phoenix Clan, the first Nirvana is very dangerous."

Saying so, he murmured to himself, "Logically, for the first Nirvana, a Feng’er should be found in the clan to protect you, to share the risk. However, you just returned to the clan, Father can’t just casually find a Feng’er."

His murmur was heard by Chu Nian, she restrained her thoughts and asked, "What protection?"

"Uh, nothing... nothing much." The Phoenix Emperor covered up.

But, Chu Nian’s gaze darkened, and he revealed everything.

"Ahem, it’s like this. Our clan has a way to reduce the risk of the first Nirvana, which is to let a Feng’er protect during a Huang’er’s Nirvana. This way, the Nirvana Fire burns both the Phoenixes, not only sharing the risk but also benefiting both, making them more united. However... this means, these two Phoenixes are destined to become a pair. If you had grown up in the clan with a childhood friend Feng’er, Father wouldn’t hesitate. But, you didn’t grow up in the clan, and Father really doesn’t want to randomly find a Feng’er to benefit him." The Phoenix Emperor looked pitifully at Chu Nian. Truthfully, in his heart, he couldn’t bear to have the daughter he just regained put her mind on another Feng’er.

Chu Nian’s expression stiffened, instinctively resisting, "Even if you agree, I won’t."

"Yes, yes, you won’t agree. However, the Nirvana Fire is exceptional, if you are to bear it alone, Father will have to prepare some things for you." The Phoenix Emperor said, lowering his gaze in contemplation.

However, Chu Nian’s attention was clearly elsewhere.

Her eyes flashed, she asked, "You said the Nirvana Fire has benefits?"

"Hmm. The Nirvana Fire is a treasure unique to our Phoenix Clan, anyone who undergoes its tempering experiences a qualitative leap, in physique, Divine Soul, even Divine Sense. The Nirvana Fire, also known as the Fire of Rebirth, in the life and death transition, if one has high insight, a great improvement in the Cultivation Realm can also be achieved." The Phoenix Emperor, contemplating his own matters, answered Chu Nian’s questions reflexively.

Chu Nian’s gaze deepened, she asked, "Does it have to be someone from the same clan to share the Nirvana Fire?"

The Phoenix Emperor, still immersed in his thoughts, didn’t notice the sensitivity in Chu Nian’s question. He directly answered, "It doesn’t necessarily have to be from the same clan. The Human Clan can also do it, but once a human shares the Nirvana Fire, a life and death contract forms with them."

"Life and Death Contract?" Chu Nian was slightly surprised.

The Phoenix Emperor nodded, "Yes, a Life and Death Contract is different from a Master-Servant Contract, it is equal. But, even if equal, the humans benefit more. Our Phoenix Clan’s longevity far surpasses humans. In our Phoenix Tree Forest, casually find a young Phoenix, and it can live longer than those mortals. Only those Divine Emperors in the High Rank Saint Realm can compare to us."

The Phoenix Emperor’s tone held a bit of disdain, seeming to look down on the lifespan of humans.

Chu Nian fell silent, silently contemplating.

Her peculiarity went unnoticed by the Phoenix Emperor. He remained absorbed in pondering over what protective treasures to prepare for Chu Nian’s Nirvana.

Suddenly, Chu Nian lifted her eyes and said to the old Phoenix Emperor, "Tomorrow, I want to leave the Phoenix Tree Forest."
