Chapter 1133: Rebirth of a Nirvana Phoenix (2/2)
“Then my son…”
“When beings reach third level mortal realm, they can utilize the orders of the chaos to refine a true spirit from the soul.” Instead of answering the Nirvana princess, Mo Youdao continued muttering to himself, “The so-called soul is a combination of true spirit and soul parts. It forms the basis of the living being.”
The Nirvana princess continued frowning. She knew everything that the pill grandmaster spoke of, and he spoke of everything but what was afflicting her son.
“Many people think that all creatures have a chance of rebirth once they form their true spirit, as long as the true spirit remains. However, that notion is incorrect.
“The true spirit is the essence of the soul parts as derived by the orders of the chaos. Thus, the true spirit bears the seeds of the soul parts. As long as that remains, the true spirit can reform the three ethereal souls and seven corporeal souls, making the soul whole again.”
Mo Youdao stroked his beard of pure silver and looked keenly at Chi Wuxia, sending two rays of white light glittering out of his eyes.
The Nirvana princess’ patience was rapidly running out, but she had to soldier on for the sake of her son.
“Everyone thinks that the five senses and six organs come from the physical body, but that is a mistaken notion.” The grandmaster had finally reached his main point. “The physical body is a shell, and the nascent spirit a transport for the soul. Everything that pertains to the physical body comes from the soul.
“Sir Chi’s physical body is unharmed, his nascent spirit undamaged, and even his soul parts intact…”
“His true spirit!” shrieked the princess. “That rat harmed my son’s true spirit??”
“Correct.” Mo Youdao nodded. “I suspect that the Inception prince used a unique combat art to harm the seeds of the soul parts inside Sir Chi’s true spirit. The five senses and six organs come from the soul parts, but their true core lies within those seeds!
“Of this, this old man can do nothing,” sighed Mo Youdao. “However, there are two methods within the chaos that can save your son.”
“Which two?” The Nirvana princess looked on hopefully.
“The first method utilizes the talents of the nirvana phoenixes. When your art of rebirth is employed, even a scattered true spirit can be resurrected. However, that means the complete loss of your son’s cultivation and starting over entirely from the beginning.”
“The second?” The Nirvana princess asked hastily.
“The six sacred monarchs can direct the six greatest orders and shift the thousands of other orders within the chaos to recast your son’s true spirit.”
“I can’t say for certain about the other five… but the old fart in charge of Nirvana will never agree to that.” A ghastly smile spread across the princess’ face. “It looks like I’m unable to save my son’s cultivation in the end.”
Bam.
Having run through her options, she acted decisively and reduced Chi Wuxia’s body to dust with one blow. His soul parts and true spirit scattered upon the air. She then beckoned with her other hand and formed a tiny gray flame in her palm. There seemed to be a tiny phoenix slowly growing larger there.
Rebirth!
One of the innate combat arts of the nirvana phoenixes, the art of rebirth.
The little phoenix was the size of the palm after just a hundred breaths—the nirvana phoenix version of the art was extremely fast and didn’t require the user to return to the egg.
“Hmm?!” Standing next to the Nirvana princess and observing the process of rebirth. Mo Youdao jerked with shock. “The injuries of Chi Wuxia’s true spirit still exist… his senses and organs haven’t returned!”
