Chapter 537: 538: The Law of Nirvana

“Quickly, tell me the news.”

“Yes, Master.”

Chris paused for a moment, then quickly relayed the news about the Phoenix Nirvana to Lin Zhen.

“The only way for the Phoenix Nirvana is to be reborn in fire.”

“Reborn in fire? This is a new concept. Tell me more, what should I do exactly?”

“There are two prerequisites; one is to possess the bloodline power of the Phoenix.”

“The blood of Little Phoenix runs in me, does that count as possessing the Phoenix’s bloodline power?”

“Yes, indeed. You already possess this requirement.”

Lin Zhen excitedly waved his hand: “And the second requirement?”

“The second one is the true meaning of rebirth in fire. You, as the one who possesses the bloodline, must use a flame power stronger than what she had in life at the place where the Phoenix dissipated. If the absolute power of the flame reaches a certain value and the bloodline is stimulated, then the Phoenix may be reborn in the flames, and it will even be stronger than before. This is the Phoenix Nirvana. Only a Phoenix that has undergone Nirvana can be considered a true Super Star River Beast, the king of flying beasts!”

Upon hearing Chris’s words, Lin Zhen closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

He has the bloodline power, but his flame power is still not enough.

His flame is currently at the mid-phase of the white color, a pure white color.

The next upgrade is to be luminously white, then incandescently white.

However, the flame used by Feng Qingluan was light blue in color.

So, Lin Zhen needs to upgrade his flame power to mid-blue in order for Little Phoenix to be reborn in the flames.

“Is there a way to quickly strengthen the flame?”

“Yes, there is! If it were someone else, other than cultivation, there would hardly be a good method. But you don’t need that, for your flame power is inherently strong. You just haven’t deliberately cultivated it before. Having both the bloodlines of Fire Kirin and Fire Phoenix, if you seriously cultivate, your flame power will definitely upgrade quickly.”

“If even that is not fast enough for you, remember that your original form is a Black Hole Beast, which has the light new characteristic to devour and digest anything. Master, you need to obtain a large amount of Fire Crystalstones, absorb and digest the flame power within them, then your flame power can upgrade.”

“Well, where can I buy Fire Crystalstones? I want to buy them right away.”

Chris said: “Master, it’s best not to rush. A Five-star Supreme Card can enjoy many conveniences, but there’s a criterion for this card, the balance in your card can’t be less than fifty billion Cosmic Crystals. Once your money is spent and you can’t replenish it within a short time, your card will be downgraded.”

“Downgraded? There’s such a rule? Is it targeting me specifically?”

“Of course not, those users with Nine-star Supreme Cards have more than ninety billion Cosmic Crystals on their cards for hundreds or even thousands of years. This rule is universal, and once downgraded, if you want to upgrade, a commission fee of up to fifty percent is required. This is the rule in all banks across the universe!”

Lin Zhen is somewhat frustrated, having finally upgraded to a Five-star Supreme Card, he can’t let it be downgraded now. He can’t hope to rely solely on the income from the Heavenly Fire Shop to purchase Fire Crystalstones, right? That way, it would take forever.

“Is there a time limit for Phoenix Nirvana? Or can I go anytime?”

“The time for Phoenix Nirvana is only effective within ten years. After that, the Phoenix’s spirit will completely dissolve into the void, and even if you try to reverse time, it can’t be gathered back.”

“Ten years….”

Lin Zhen hesitated a moment, nearly five years had passed since Little Phoenix’s death, almost half of the given time. He didn’t have much time left.

Five years, for a martial artist, might be just one cultivation period, especially at the advanced martial artist stage, every breakthrough in realm isn’t easy, it is indeed very short.

“Calculate for me how much it would cost to upgrade my pure white flame to bright white? And how much to incandescent white?”

“To upgrade your current pure white flame, you’ll need about one million cubic meters of Fire Crystalstones. The market price for each cubic meter of Fire Crystalstone is one thousand Cosmic Crystals, in total you’ll need ten billion Cosmic Crystals. For upgrading to incandescent white, you’ll need about fifty billion.”

“It’s not too much, I can handle it. But if I were to earn it normally, it doesn’t seem possible in a short amount of time.”

“Could it be that I should resort to robbery?” Lin Zhen even thought of trying underhanded means, look for some bad guys, kill them, and snatch their stuff.

While thinking, someone called him in the Dimensional Universe.

“Master, your friend Yan Qiyue is calling you, should I pick up?”

“Yan Qiyue!”

Lin Zhen was startled. Since the big battle with the army of the Tianhe Empire on Earth, Yan Qiyue had disappeared, never to be seen again. Lin Zhen didn’t know where the former top martial artist from Earth had gone.

“Connect.”

After the connection was established, Yan Qiyue’s figure appeared on the virtual screen.

Having not seen each other for many years, Yan Qiyue had already advanced to Star System Level 3, which was quite normal. Back then, Yan Qiyue was at Constant Star Level Nine, about to be promoted to the Black Hole Period. Some people go through the Black Hole Period very quickly. Yan Qiyue himself was a genius, so advancing to Star System Level 3 over the years made sense.

“Yan bro, long time no see. What brings you to me?”

Upon seeing Lin Zhen, Yan Qiyue cracked a smile: “Our people are in trouble. Of course, I have to ask for help from our Lord. Although you are now the Duke of Hundred Victories of the Fire Kirin Empire, you are still our Sun Lord, aren’t you? I’m your fellow countryman, we’re both people of Earth!”

Lin Zhen laughed in disbelief: “Alright, since Brother Yan has said so, I won’t shirk. Whatever you need, feel free to ask… Ah! Just don’t ask me to lend you money. I’m broke now.”

Yan Qiyue grinned, “The one who just received a reward of 10 billion cosmic crystals from the Empire calls himself broke, perhaps only you could pull that off. But don’t worry, I’m not here to borrow money from you today. I’m here to borrow a person.”

“Borrow a person? Who?”

“Who else could it be, of course it’s you, Lin Zhen. This time you have to help me out. I really have no one else to turn to.”

“What’s so serious?”

“Well, let’s meet and talk. I’m at the Mermaid Bar on the Kirin Holy Star. If it’s convenient for you, come over.”

Lin Zhen nodded, cut off the communication with the Dimensional Universe, located the Mermaid Bar’s position which was far away, about 30,000 kilometers. After one Planetary Instantaneous Movement, Lin Zhen directly arrived at the entrance of the bar. He saw Yan Qiyue at a corner taking a sip from a cup of alcohol. He was startled upon seeing Lin Zhen, so much so that he even spilt his drink on his clothes.

“You… were you outside when you called me just now?” asked Yan Qiyue, dumbfounded.

“I called you from the south gate, three thousand kilometers away.”

Yan Qiyue was speechless: “You’re becoming increasingly powerful. A distance of thirty thousand kilometers, you reached here in less than five seconds. It’s like the saying, ‘speak of the devil and he shall appear’. But you’re even faster than the devil.”

Lin Zhen sat opposite Yan Qiyue, picked up the drink he had prepared for him and gulped it down: “Alright, tell me. Hopefully, it’s something beneficial for me. If it can help me make money, I’ll consider it. Otherwise, I am pretty busy these days.”

Yan Qiyue gave a bitter smile: “Are you really that in need of money? However, this task can indeed help you earn a lot of money, and very quickly, too.”

“What is it?”

“A fight!”

“A fight? With whom? Where?”

“My Lord, are you so consumed by your cultivation that you’ve lost touch with the world? Of course, it’s the Dimensional Arena. But it’s not the Tianhe Empire’s arena, nor is it the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation’s Asura Arena. It’s an arena between the Fire Kirin Empire and other Advanced Cosmic Nations, covering the entire universe!”

Hearing this, Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up!

Yes, the Dimensional Arena!

The Dimensional Arena of the Fire Kirin, unlike the Asura Arena of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, is open to all Advanced Cosmic Nations.

To Lin Zhen’s knowledge, there are a total of 36,000 Advanced Cosmic Nations in the Cosmic Space.

Among them, the arenas within each Universe Country don’t count for much. Only the arena that collectively represents the 36,000 Advanced Cosmic Nations is considered the highest stage.

The minimum requirement to enter this arena is to reach the Black Hole Period. Martial Artists at the Constant Star Stage were not eligible.

Within the Dimensional Arena, there are random matches, ladder matches, team matches, and specified matches, etc.

And it guarantees fairness without any artificial manipulation, catering to the entire universe.

This is also the best place for people to get rich. Each arena has different betting amounts. After a combat victory, besides deducting one percent of the arena fee, the rest of the money is yours.

Of course, most of the money is earned by the arena. But as long as you have the strength and can ensure a victory in any match, you can earn a huge amount of money every day too!

Just that no one can guarantee victory because you can never imagine how many stunningly talented individuals there are in the vast universe. Sometimes, you may even encounter individuals with a higher realm than yours.

Even if you’re a genius, if you’re just at the Star System Stage, you’re undoubtedly bound to lose if you encounter a genius at the Star Domain Stage.

Unless you’re willing to forever tread cautiously in low-level arenas. But after a while, if someone doesn’t like you, they might try to sabotage you. Therefore, no one remains a perennial winner here.

For Lin Zhen, who was in urgent need of money, this was indeed the best method. Perhaps after a few days of fighting, his Flame Power could advance from pure white to luminous white.

Across from him, Yan Qiyue was still trying to convince Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, I started playing in this Dimensional Arena not long ago. With a few friends, we wanted to achieve something in team matches. But lately, we’ve been losing consistently. I asked you here with the hope that you could lend us a hand. I’ve already told my friends about your prowess. Everyone has heard of your name already. You have to help me out this time.”
