After Favorability Is Maxed

During this half a month, he had already told Ling Hua about his plans when he was chatting with her. Whether it was to go to the Land of Extreme Cold of the Darknorth Sea to hatch the Golden Crow True Yang, or to go to the Desert Sea’s Sand of Time instance dungeon to get his real main weapon, or to change something in the North Mansion battlefield, going to the North Mansion was an inevitable decision.

The battle between Pihuan Luo and Shen Sifan was about to start… It was necessary to stop the fight, and he could only hope that when he arrived, the two had not reached a life-and-death situation.

Of course, compared to the game’s fast-moving timeline, he still had a lot of time to prepare and many places to go.

No matter what, it was impossible to stay in Central Plains.

Ling Hua sorted out the large amount of information in her mind. Even she could not help but be moved by what Ding Luan had learned in his life.

Ding Luan had been trapped in the cave for hundreds of years, facing the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon all day long. The only thing he could do was to strengthen his mind and cultivation base to resist the erosion of the demon’s mind.

As such, he had spent hundreds of years researching and obtaining these items with an extremely sincere heart.

Liu Yuan did not tell Ling Yu about the Jade Mirage Daoist Scripture back then, so the Jade Mirage Sect only knew that Ding Luan was dead, and that Liu Yuan and ‘Gu Chang’ were apprenticed to the Jade Mirage Sect before his death. They knew nothing else.

However, because Liu Yuan had his own cultivation technique, the Daoist Scripture was not of much use to him. At most, he could occasionally pretend to be a member of the Jade Mirage Sect. As for Gu Chang, his current cultivation was still very shallow, so he had not come into contact with any profound content. The content was no different from the cultivation content of the ordinary Jade Mirage disciples.

So far, Ling Hua was the only one who truly understood the profoundness of the Jade Mirage Daoist Scripture.

Originally, on the Spirit Transformation River, Liu Yuan wanted to use Ding Luan’s matter to change the topic. However, an accident happened later and he lost the chance.

After Ling Hua heard the truth, she sighed and said, “As expected of Senior Ding. He’s so courageous. However, even such a person can’t escape death.”

Liu Yuan knew that it was probably because of the encounters these few days, especially the battle on the river where they had almost lost their lives, that this cold and aloof Daoist nun had also sighed.

He hugged the delicate body in his arms tightly and touched Ling Hua’s soft black hair. “Man can conquer nature. Senior Ding asked for mercy and died for a good reason. If he didn’t choose to trap the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon, he might still be the Sect Master of Jade Mirage. But this is against his will. This is his own choice. Not to mention that in this world, there are Immortal Phoenixes that have escaped the reincarnation of life and death.”

A few days ago, it was Ling Hua who set goals for him, but now it was he who enlightened Ling Hua. The changes in the world were indeed wonderful.

Ling Hua tilted her head and was a little stunned. “I’m not a child anymore, don’t treat me like Hong Luan…”

Liu Yuan’s eyes could not help but move down, and he nodded in all seriousness, “Indeed, how can a child have such big… Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, don’t pinch me!”

Ling Hua released her fingers. Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and rubbed his lower back. He was secretly speechless. If this continued, his lower back muscles would strain sooner or later.

Ling Hua saw his exaggerated grimace and smiled. She lowered her head and leaned on Liu Yuan’s body. She reached out to help massage him and said, “The Nirvana of the appearance of the Phoenix only occurs once every thousand years. I know that you are very familiar with the location of the Nirvana Secret Realm, but now is not the time. Even if the Phoenix has awakened, it can not come out… How are you going to get the Phoenix blood?”

Liu Yuan enjoyed the gentle massage from the Jade Mirage Senior Sister. He narrowed his eyes and said, “If the mountain doesn’t come to me, then naturally, I have to go to the mountain.”

“You want to enter the Nirvana Secret Realm?” Ling Hua frowned.

“That’s the only way now,” Liu Yuan nodded helplessly.

Seeing Ling Hua’s serious expression, she probably wanted to advise him not to take the risk. He flipped his hand and took out the Fire Repelling Pearl, saying, “With the Fire Repelling Pearl and my current Form Synthesis stage cultivation, the Nirvana Secret Realm is not a place where I can die without a chance of survival.”

He was quite familiar with the Nirvana Secret Realm instance dungeon. It was mainly an active instance dungeon. After the Phoenix awakened, it disappeared and then became a fixed scene.

It was one of the popular spots for players who wanted to view some of Shangyang’s breathtaking scenery.

But this was not the main point. The main point was that this event dungeon was quite rare. At that time, Liu Yuan’s team had cleared the dungeon. At that time, Liu Yuan was only a little famous in the circle of conquering strategists. It could be said that he was an unpopular player.

It was also because he had obtained the first legendary bow and arrow in this dungeon, ‘Brilliant Sky’, that Liu Yuan was able to further improve his combat power. Then, he conquered more characters and finally became the God of Conquering.

More importantly, because of this, Liu Yuan’s favorability with this Phoenix had directly reached the level of ‘Undying Love’. However, at the beginning, it was naturally only the kind of undying love that he saw as an ally, but it gradually changed…

In any case, with the Illustrated Handbook in hand, the little Phoenix would not be able to escape. However, Liu Yuan still had some doubts in his heart.

Most of the other characters in the conquering strategy guide had a separate plot line, but he had gained the Phoenix’s favorability directly. No one knew how to keep this in check.

After a little investigation, Ling Hua knew that this Fire Repelling Pearl was a genuine divine item, but he still could not help but worry. “The Nirvana Secret Realm is not filled with ordinary fire. If the Phoenix sees you as an intruder, the Fire Repelling Pearl will be useless. Although the Phoenix is one of the Four Symbols, it is said that it is not gentle…”

Liu Yuan blinked his eyes. Ling Hua had never been an indecisive person, but it seemed that it was not bad for her to be so long-winded and worried about his well-being.

He looked at Ling Hua with a smile. The latter, of course, noticed that he was not worried at all. Seeing that he was so confident in his victory, she frowned and instantly understood.

The Phoenix… was probably also a woman.

The Jade Mirage Senior Sister reached out and pinched Liu Yuan’s face. She was both angry and amused. “Don’t tell me you’ve even laid your hands on the Phoenix?”

“Hmm.” Liu Yuan thought to himself, ‘Not only have I taken down the Phoenix, but also the Dragon.’

Ling Hua was speechless for a moment. She sighed and said, “It seems that I was worried for nothing. I thought it was a death trap, but I didn’t expect it to be just a trip to your old lover’s house.”

She looked at Liu Junxuan. The Phoenix rose from the ashes once every thousand years. Then… Who was Liu Junxuan, the lover of the Phoenix?

This question dissipated in her sigh, but in the end, she did not ask.

Liu Yuan lowered his head. He narrowed his eyes and said, “No matter old or new, my Jiao’er will always be my only one.”

Ling Hua patted his back and said with a red face, “Nonsense.”
