The reincarnation of the heavens begins with the path to immortality

These past few days, they first witnessed the failure of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor's Nirvana awakening, and now they are about to witness the failure of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's Nirvana transformation. This makes Wanlong Emperor, Immortal Granny and others somewhat doubt whether Nirvana is really feasible.
However, the fact that Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, the Primordial God Emperor, Ning Fei, the Old Golden Crow, the Chaotic Ancient Emperor, and other Celestial Venerables, Ancient Emperors, and Great Emperors who have returned from Nirvana is right before their eyes. Nirvana can indeed give people a new life, which leaves them no choice but to doubt and believe it.

So, does that mean that the problem isn't that they can't achieve nirvana and transformation, but that they themselves are incapable?
The thought suddenly popped into their minds, and Immortal Granny, Dragon Emperor, and the others instantly felt a chill. No! They would not admit that they were inferior to others!

We were all once beings who had attained enlightenment. Having reached this point, who is inferior to whom?

Even if they are inferior to Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable and the Primordial God Emperor, they are not inferior to Old Golden Crow and Ning Fei, who have never attained enlightenment. Old Golden Crow and Ning Fei were able to undergo Nirvana and be reborn, so why can't they?

So, where did things go wrong? Was it the method of Nirvana they chose that was flawed? Or was there a problem with their own state of being?

In fact, after self-imposed seclusion and enduring for millions of years, their divine soul essence is almost exhausted. Yet, they still have the mind to waver. This may be their biggest problem. If the problem of insufficient essence is not resolved, and they do not truly and firmly choose to believe in Nirvana and fight to the death, their chances of successfully achieving Nirvana in the future will be very small. They will definitely not be as good as young people like Zhang Bairen, Huang Ya'er, and Tai Chu.

Once Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, understood this, he looked at the Myriad Dragon Emperor, the Immortal Granny, and others in the Immortal Source and sighed inwardly, "Indeed, these people can only be used as expendable materials. I'm afraid there will be very few who can truly achieve Nirvana in the future. If we really want to cultivate them, we should cultivate the young people!"

"Young people are full of vitality, aggressive and energetic, and unafraid of death! Even if they can truly achieve Nirvana and become immortals in the future, as long as they are guided by the right methods, they will definitely be able to go further on the path to immortality. For example, there should be quite a few who can live three, four, or even five lifetimes after Nirvana!"

His gaze then turned to Huang Ya'er, Zhang Bairen, Jin Chanzi, Tai Chu, Dao Yi, and others, and he nodded in satisfaction. These were the talents who deserved to be carefully cultivated.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, whose essence had dwindled to the size of a soybean. He felt a pang of regret in his heart. He naturally wanted to see the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor successfully undergo Nirvana, as this would be a greater morale booster.

After all, an ancient emperor who had severed his own ties and proclaimed himself emperor had successfully risen from the ashes and been reborn before their very eyes. They had witnessed this process firsthand, so how could they not have any doubts and be filled with excitement?

Especially Wanlonghuang, Xianmu, and others—who knows, they might also decide to undergo Nirvana and transformation in the near future? Not wanting to fall behind others!

But now it's hard to say. Having witnessed the failure of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor's Nirvana awakening and the failure of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's Nirvana transformation, whoever it is, must think about the consequences of failure before truly deciding to undergo Nirvana, which makes people fearful and hesitant to move forward.

At that moment, Huang Xudao, who was kneeling and weeping, suddenly turned around and kowtowed forcefully to Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, saying, "Celestial Venerable! I beg you to help! Save my father!"

"I beg the Heavenly Venerable to intervene and save my father!"

"..."

Each cry, each word, was hoarse and desperate, an entreaty of grief and despair, pleading with Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, to save the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor. It was a sight that moved all who heard it to tears. The Golden Heavenly Maiden, the Fire Qilin, the Fire Lin'er, the Dragon Maiden, and the other children of the ancient emperor exchanged glances, then sighed softly and fell silent. Their gazes all turned to Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable.

The Myriad Dragon Emperor, Immortal Granny, and others in the Immortal Source all instantly looked at Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable. After all, seeing that the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's essence was about to be exhausted, signifying the failure of Nirvana, could it be that Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, still had some means to bring the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor back to life? That's impossible, right? In any case, they definitely couldn't do anything!

But who knows? After all, Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, is an exception. He was able to find a path to immortality, so maybe he really can do it?

However, these people clearly overestimated Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity. Even if the Nirvana Transformation failed, there was nothing he could do to salvage it. Especially for someone like the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, who had burned everything to return to his origin, there was absolutely no hope if the Nirvana Transformation failed. Everything would be reduced to ashes and nothingness.

So, just as Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, was about to shake his head and refuse Huang Xudao's request, suddenly, the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd let out a soft cry, and a blood-red phoenix flew out from the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd, raising its head and crying out, with an inexplicably profound mystery flowing within it!
"Ok?"

"what is this?"

"The Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd? How did Fellow Daoist Blood Phoenix's ancient imperial weapon suddenly revive?"

"Is it the ancient imperial weapon spontaneously reviving to protect its master? Or what's going on?"

"..."

In an instant, everyone's gaze shifted from Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, to the revived Phoenix-Winged Golden Halberd. Shen Pingkang himself couldn't help but look at the Phoenix-Winged Golden Halberd, and then he stood up in surprise, staring wide-eyed at the revived Phoenix-Winged Golden Halberd, as if he couldn't believe it!

Yes! Shen Pingkang, the Celestial Venerable of Longevity, truly couldn't believe it!
Because he discovered that the revived Phoenix Winged Gilded Halberd was imbued with a mysterious and profound meaning. Just a slight glimpse of that meaning made one feel as if they had seen the true meaning of the phoenix's rebirth!
What is this? Others might think that the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd revived on its own to protect its master during the crisis of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, but Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Celestial Venerable, would not think so!

Because he had already guessed what this mysterious and profound mystery was—it was the mystery of immortal metal!
That's right! At this very moment, after the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd was revived, the essence of immortal gold flowed through its body!
Legend has it that each type of immortal metal contains a unique profound meaning. If one can comprehend these profound meanings, one's supernatural powers will become incredibly strong!
Especially the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, a kind of immortal gold, if one can truly comprehend its profound meaning, it can even help one to truly understand the true meaning of the phoenix's rebirth and achieve success in the rebirth!

And coincidentally! The Phoenix Wings Gilded Halberd of the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor was made of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, and it just so happened to reveal the profound meaning of Immortal Gold. In an instant, Shen Pingkang, the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, understood something.

He gazed at the Phoenix Winged Golden Halberd, its surface shimmering with the profound mysteries of immortal gold, and then at the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor, whose essence was reduced to the size of a soybean. He exclaimed in sudden realization, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

It turns out that the Blood Phoenix Ancient Emperor's decision to undergo Nirvana and transformation was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; he was indeed quite confident!
