Imminent Misfortune [Rebirth]

Lizhou, Zhisong Academy.

In the early morning, the faint scent of rosin outside the window and the fragrance of tea in the room blend together, creating a sense of peace and tranquility.

Green tea was placed on the case, and two scholars sat in front of the case.

"Mr. Gushu is the book of the school that has been passed down from my academy for several generations, and he doesn't show up once in a few years."

The man in white was gentle and elegant, with ordinary features but his own bearing. He raised his hand and poured three cups of tea himself, "Even if I am the dean, I can't figure out the temperament of this spirit."

The gray-clothed man sitting upright beside him, though dressed as a scholar, is dignified and majestic, "The two of us have been thinking about it all night, but we still don't know why the ancient book suddenly became murderous. Perhaps, you will know."

——Principal of Shisong Academy, Yan Yu, nicknamed "Yu Juan"; Vice President, Chen Zhidao, nicknamed "Tiebi".

Being interviewed by Yan Yuan and Chen Fuyuan together, this is a treatment that even the best students of the academy do not have.

But Fang Zhiyuan frowned and leaned forward, crossing his fingers, "As the head of the academy, you two can't control a book?"

Yan Yu was not angry, but admitted frankly with a smile: "The ancient book only protects the academy, it is not a contractual artifact between the two of us. Zhidao and I really can't manipulate it."

Fang Zhiyuan pondered: "The ancient book killed me because of my bad luck?"

Yan Yu and Chen Zhidao looked at each other, but shook their heads slowly.

Fang Zhiyuan thought to himself: That's right, it hasn't been a year or two since he was appointed to be a misfortune star.

Fang Zhiyuan said again: "My contract Zixiao Luan..."

Dean Yan shook his head and said, "The body of a monster and the soul of a man is indeed a wonderful coincidence. But that Zixiaoluan really wants to protect you. If that's the case, it shouldn't be considered a sorcery."

Fang Zhiyuan was silent, and said after a while, since this is the case, he has no clue.

"Really?" Chen Zhidao took a sip of tea, looked carefully at Fang Zhiyuan's face, and said, "Now I have a guess. If I'm wrong, please don't take offense."

"You," his eyes suddenly turned ice-cold, "did you see something you shouldn't see?"

"...!"

Fang Zhiyuan's pupils constricted slightly, and he held his breath.

Yan Yu: "Zhi Dao, don't scare the younger generation."

Chen Zhidao snorted: "Brother Yan, do you think this child can be 'frightened'?"

"..."

Fang Zhiyuan's eyes darkened, and he hesitated for a moment.

Do you want to tell the truth?

Should we tell these two great powers of the world the plan of the Outer Heaven God about this place, and the truth about the Three Realms and beyond the Three Realms?

Counting the five crossing catastrophes today, except for their nagging master, the rest—Lu Kuifu, Ye Fu, and Ao Yin, the three half-step ascension powers, all came from rebirth in previous lives.

Only Dean Yan in front of him is not a reborn soul.

Neither is Vice President Chen.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at the two deans, and after a lot of thoughts, his thin lips twitched: "...Dare to ask, why did Vice President Chen say such a thing?"

In the previous life, the end of Zhisong Academy was quite bleak.Vice-principal Chen Zhidao had an old injury and died early after the fairy disaster; principal Yan Yu had been guarding the courtyard alone for many years, almost isolated in the courtyard, and died after the arrival of the God of Heaven, and the students in the courtyard were scattered and withered. Autumn leaves.

...According to Fang Zhiyuan's memory, when he and Lin Lingqing died, the academy was in a state of collapse, and only a few masters and high-strength students were struggling to support them.

Therefore, even though Fang Zhiyuan knew all the immortal sects in the fairy world like the back of his hand, he didn't know much about the two academy gentlemen in front of him.

Under the severe situation, he did not dare to act rashly.

Dean Yan quietly took a sip of tea.

When the corner of his lips left the rim of the cup, he said something like this:

"This era is quite different."

Fang Zhiyuan said: "Please enlighten me."

Yan Yu looked at him calmly: "I would like to ask Xiaoxian Fang to count, how many people can be called 'geniuses' in this fairy world?"

Fang Zhiyuan blurted out expressionlessly: "My senior brother."

He answered quickly and steadily, obviously not feeling that this question required any thought.

Dean Yan smiled and nodded.

With Lin Lingqing's savvy talent, he naturally deserves to be called a genius.It is impossible for anyone in this entire fairy world to dare to question.

He waited for Fang Zhiyuan to say the next one.

"..."

Fang Zhiyuan stopped talking.

Vice President Chen couldn't help frowning: "There are more."

Fang Zhiyuan also frowned, wondering: "What else?"

The two deans were silent: "..."

Okay, I dare to feel in your heart, this huge fairy world can't be seen except for Lin Xiaoxian, right? ?

Reluctantly, Yan Yu had no choice but to come out to smooth things over: "Mu Qingxue from the Mu family, the little demon boy from Senluo Stone Palace, Shengzi Ji from Ziwei Pavilion, and... your five true biographies of Xuyun."

Fang Zhiyuan interrupted suddenly: "Six."

Dean Yan: "..."

Fang Zhiyuan said indifferently: "Xuyun's sixth true biography, Yu Hongtang, who broke the golden core at the age of 12, will not lose to Ji Shengzi and others?"

Yan Yu was taken aback by the phrase "12-year-old broken golden pill", so he had to clear his throat with difficulty: "Okay, six, six... You talented juniors, every time you appear in front of the fairy world He was dubbed as 'unborn genius' and 'unprecedented genius'."

"As for the rest of the people, such as Jian Gu Xuanyuan, the Gu family's son, etc., they are enough to be called a 'once-in-a-lifetime genius'."

Yan Yu smiled wryly: "...It's just that there seem to be too many geniuses, so much that even the name 'genius' is worthless."

Fang Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.

He felt as if he had caught something.

Yan Yudao: "Zhi Dao and I have often talked about this matter, and we both feel that this era is unusual. For thousands of years, Shisong Academy has recruited students from all over the world who are interested in Dao, and there are more than ten thousand volumes of history books, but it has never happened like this The heyday of geniuses. It's very strange...yes, strange."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, I'm afraid it's..."

Suddenly, Yan Yu's steady voice was interrupted by a rush of footsteps in the corridor.

A student rushed to the quiet room and shouted anxiously through the door: "Dean! Something has happened to the dean!"

Vice President Chen was furious, and said coldly, "Running around loudly, what are the rules!"

Yan Yuan: "Hey, Zhidao, listen to the students first."

The student was panting and panicked: "Report to the dean and the vice-president that last night, the astrolabes of Zi and Ziwei Pavilions... foretell that the star trails will change greatly, and the ominous phenomenon will appear in the west."

He took a deep breath, and his more hasty tone stirred up anxiety in the air, "It's just that I was busy last night, and my disciple didn't dare to disturb the two deans rashly. I wanted to report to the deans today, but!"

"But just now there was news from Liuhua Continent - a wave of monsters and beasts broke out in the Western Regions, and the Senluo Stone Palace asked for help from the Jingui Palace!!"

Before the words fell, Fang Zhiyuan's complexion changed suddenly!

In an instant, there was no trace of blood on his face, and he didn't even care about the two deans, he just said "excuse me", and then he got up and ran out.

……

"Zi Wei!!"

When he ran out of the quiet room and managed to sneak into a place where there was no one else, Fang Zhiyuan only felt that his sanity was on the verge of being broken, and a kind of cold fear almost gnawed his lungs to pieces.

His senior brother... Lin Lingqing actually ignored him.

No matter how many times he tried, there was still no news from the other end of the psychic jade bead.

No audio.

If it wasn't for Lin Lingqing's intentional ignorance of him, then there could only be some sudden crisis.The situation is so dangerous that if one is distracted, he will die, and the devil will forcibly close the connection between the soul and the jade beads...

Zixiao Luan flew down in front of him, Fang Zhiyuan lowered his voice fiercely, but he couldn't suppress the impatience that boiled out of his voice, "How is he!? Where is he? Is he in the Western Region now? !!"

"...No," but before Jina could speak, he closed his eyes and shook his head, and said to himself twice, "No, it's impossible for senior brother not to go because of an accident in Senluo Stone Palace..."

Fang Zhiyuan opened his eyes suddenly, and the hostility in his eyes almost burned through.He slammed his fist on the gray wall beside him, and the wall tiles immediately cracked, "Then what is he doing now!? Tell him to get out and talk to me first!!"

"..." Ziwei was startled.

This was the first time he saw with his own eyes that Fang Zhiyuan, who was usually as cold as an iron knife, became so anxious, furious, chaotic and helpless.

Jina suddenly couldn't bear to say: "He... he doesn't talk to me anymore, I can't help it."

"..." Fang Zhiyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He wanted to calm down, but his breath trembled with anger.

Jina said, "You...would you like to go to the Abyss of the Western Regions to find him?"

In fact, he secretly hoped that Fang Zhiyuan would go.

From here to Yinyuan, no matter how anxious Fang Zhiyuan was on his way, it was impossible for him to be faster than the assistance from Immortal Lu of the Golden Osmanthus Palace.

Before the tide of monsters and beasts, they would not bear the brunt, and they could just leave Shisong Academy to avoid disputes with ancient books.

Fang Zhiyuan opened his eyes: "...No, we have to break through first."

He gritted his teeth coldly and said, "The news has already reached Jingui Palace, what's the use of rushing over there? I don't need a golden core to block the monsters? At least I have to break through the Nascent Soul here to help him."

Jina was startled. I don't know if it was because Fang Zhiyuan could still think calmly in this situation, or because he was shocked by his decision: "Are you going to hit the Nascent Soul Realm?"

The Holy Son thought for a while, and immediately denied: "No, it's too late. It will take several months for the golden core to break the Nascent Soul. What's more, you have a special physique. When you break the boundary, the thunder robbery and the Yin demon will come together, which is too dangerous."

"Even... even if you are determined to break through, at least you can't stay in the academy, the ancient books still—"

Fang Zhiyuan suddenly said: "Who said it will take a few months?"

He actually sneered, "I think Jiutian is just right. It happens to be able to read ancient books first, and then go to Yinyuan to find senior brother."

"……grumble?"

After the words fell, a Zixiaoluan was dumbfounded.

Nine Heavens broke Nascent Soul, and then confronted the terrifying ancient book head-on, and then went to the Western Regions to rush to the tide of monsters and beasts.

You have arranged it very clearly.

"Are you crazy!?" Jina was finally forced into rage, and shouted out of composure, "Lin Lingqing spent three months in seclusion for breaking the realm, how dare you say nine days breaking the realm!?"

Fang Zhiyuan was furious, and immediately choked back: "Ji Shengzi, don't you know that I was raised by Lin Lingqing? He has such virtues, why would I dare not?"

Jina was surprised and angry: "You!"

"Nine Heavens," Fang Zhiyuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, he pinched his knuckles and said every word, "Just watch, I will destroy the Nascent Soul."

And before that.

Until then, at least for these nine days...

Under Ziwei's bewildered gaze, Fang Zhiyuan looked up at the sky, and let out a sigh from his lips.

He closed his eyes, put his arms and forehead against the wall, and murmured in a low voice with difficulty: "I beg you, don't be a monster anymore... Take your life, okay... Brother."

=========

Deep in the Western Regions.

The golden dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.In an instant, the coercion came down like a heavy hammer.Hundreds of monster beasts screamed in pain, their bodies bounced out of thin air, and fell over in the mud and dust.

Ao Zhao carried Lin Lingqing to the deeper part of the tide of monsters and beasts. The golden dragon's five claws were majestic, and it was like entering a land of no one!

Lin Lingqing glanced back, and vaguely saw skeleton birds flying in mid-air.

"Bone beast..."

Manipulating the bone beast is the secret method of Senluo, and the skeleton bird in the sky proves that the disciples of the Senluo Stone Palace also joined the battle on the banks of the Senluo River.

The clouds in the sky seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.The wave of monsters was still rioting below him. From a distance, it looked like a twisted giant snake crazily biting his body.

Suddenly, Lin Lingqing turned his head, and a flash of fire flashed in front of his eyes——

In the distance in front of him, at the end of the wave of monsters, he finally saw the raging fire and thick smoke, the beating crimson burning through the western sky, trying to turn everything into ashes.

"Roar……"

With a dragon chant, the golden dragon Ao Zhao rushed down against the wind, so the demon king's vision became clearer.

Flames flowed everywhere in the desolate land, and the frenzied monsters were burned by the fire, howling hoarsely and painfully.The smell of scorched fur and flesh mixed with the smell of dead bodies came out, mixed with the hot wind, making people want to vomit.

Lin Lingqing's eyes suddenly changed, and he couldn't help pressing his fingers hard against the skin of the golden dragon scale armor, which turned white.

No, this fire...! ?

Ao Zhao exclaimed in shock: "Oh my God, this is the Nirvana Fire, Your Majesty the Demon Lord! This is the Nirvana Divine Fire that will only be spawned when the Phoenix family is dying!"

"But how is it possible, how is it possible... Calculated from the current time, there is no Phoenix clan in this line who is in the nirvana stage?"

Flames ran wildly in the gust of wind, and the scorching heat brushed against the dragon scales.The golden dragon sometimes swooped down and sometimes circled.The black robe behind Lin Lingqing fluttered and whistled in his ears, and the earth seemed to be spinning along with it.

"Twelve years ago." Lin Lingqing clasped the horn of the dragon tightly, feeling cold in his heart, "The last time the phoenix nirvana should have been 12 years ago, and I was only nine years old at that time, and I hadn't met your master yet."

Only 12 years... such a short time.The bloodline of the Phoenix clan is already withered, and it is impossible for another death and nirvana to occur, this is absolutely impossible!

But if the phoenix didn't die naturally and then nirvana, then where did the fire of nirvana come from! ?

Lin Lingqing's spine was numb, like a thunder snake.

A terrifying thought appeared in the devil's mind.

—Could it be that someone killed Phoenix?

Who Killed Phoenix?

And who can kill, dare to kill the demon king Phoenix! ?

No, if the Phoenix dies completely, the Nirvana Fire should be extinguished.

Could it be that—in the depths of this raging fire, there is a dying phoenix struggling between life and death and unable to escape?

Under the terrifying burning of the divine fire, the surrounding air twisted.All the water is evaporated, and it is as dry as a desert.There are more and more charred corpses of monsters, like a scene of purgatory.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The thick smoke was suffocating, and the temperature in all directions became more and more unbearable. Lin Lingqing frowned, his complexion gradually paled, and his breathing became chaotic.

Ao Zhao said anxiously: "Your Majesty the Devil, please bear with me...Xiaolong will take you back right away!"

Lin Lingqing immediately said hoarsely: "No, I can't go back."

He opened a messenger.

"Your Majesty!?"

What is reflected is the sky above the Senluo Stone Palace, the skeleton bird is flying, and the magic weapon is shining.

Shentu Linchun responded quickly, but the next moment he saw the fire and smoke rising into the sky behind Lin Lingqing, he was shocked: "You... where are you, come back soon!!"

"Shentu, you can't..."

Lin Lingqing was dizzy from the thick smoke and fire. He leaned on Jinlong's back and his voice became hoarse.

"Ahem, I can't fight anymore... Tell Chai E to retreat, retreat into the Senluo Stone Palace, and guard the gate of the palace... Someone wants to kill the Phoenix, this time the wave of monsters is triggered by the fear of the Phoenix's dying... ..."

"The fire burning here is the Phoenix's Nirvana Divine Fire, you can't stop it. You can only guard it, you must guard it, and wait for Lei Qiong to come..."

"Your Majesty!...Your Majesty, Lin Lingqing!!"

Shentu Linchun was so anxious that his eyes were wet, "Stop talking, stop talking...you come back first!"

"..."

Lin Lingqing was silent, and then cut off the communication array.

go back?

It's easy to go back, but what about after going back?

Phoenix's divine fire of nirvana is the fire of catastrophe that can only be extinguished after the phoenix is ​​completely dead or revived from nirvana.

If this fire is allowed to burn through, most of the monsters in the Western Regions will definitely die, and the next one will be the Senluo Stone Palace, and then the Yinyuan Snow Bone City.

After turning this area into scorched earth, if the Nirvana Fire is still alive, it will continue to burn and spread endlessly...

But here and now, the only ones who can resist the pressure of the bloodline of the divine beast Phoenix, and who may survive if they continue to go deeper under the fire of Nirvana, are the little golden dragon Ao Zhao, and Lin Lingqing himself.

Even though the souls of the two lifetimes in the Transcendence Tribulation Period had been injured, the camels were still bigger than the horses.As for the others, they couldn't get in even if they wanted to get close.

How could he go back.

"Zhaoer."

Lin Lingqing smiled, his expression was still very calm, like a pool of still water burning in a raging fire, "Don't be afraid, find the phoenix that is the culprit, put out the fire as soon as possible, and we can go to see you Master."
