All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

In the palace,
An Miaoyi's entire body was as white and translucent as ivory, as graceful as a beautiful serpent, with exquisite curves and a flawless body.

She played with Wang Gan's increasingly long hair with great interest, her face flushed with a rosy hue.

Wang Gan stood to the side, holding an ancient scroll.

This is a yellowed ancient scroll, its material is indescribable, resembling animal hide or ancient cloth; it is clearly an antique of great antiquity.
It was obtained by Wang Gan from An Miaoyi; it was part of the transaction.

The opening page bears two words: Nirvana!

The Nirvana Sutra is an unparalleled masterpiece of the Western Desert, comparable to several ancient scriptures of the Eastern Wilderness. It can be called an unparalleled holy art of healing, possessing the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, mysterious and profound.

Wang Gan had also heard of the reputation of the Nirvana Sutra.

In the past, when the abbess of Miaoyu was on the verge of death, she obtained this ancient scroll. Not only were her injuries completely healed, but she also underwent a transformation akin to being reborn, and her cultivation advanced even further.

Although practicing this scripture cannot grant immortality, it possesses unparalleled power to increase lifespan and delay decay. Furthermore, it is an unparalleled healing technique with incredible and miraculous effects.

In the original novel, Ye Fan also obtained this scripture in an attempt to repair the damage to his Great Dao when breaking through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, but he was unsuccessful.

However, this does not mean that the Nirvana Sutra is useless. Apart from injuries such as those caused by the Great Dao, even if a Great Emperor is injured, he can still get a chance to catch his breath, and it can even be of great help in being reborn.

"Because ignorance is extinguished, the mind does not arise; because it does not arise, all phenomena cease; because causes and conditions cease, all mental phenomena are exhausted, and this is called Nirvana..."

A knowing glint flashed in Wang Gan's eyes.
"The Nirvana Sutra should be a part of the sutra's meaning left in the Amitabha Buddha's Great Emperor Sutra."

"The principles and doctrines within this Nirvana Sutra are surprisingly similar to and complementary to the divine seal and principles of the Bodhi Elixir of Immortality,"

Amitabha Buddha Emperor, also a human emperor, was known for his non-violence and benevolence. He went extremely far on the path to immortality and was the creator of the Thunder Sound Temple on Mars. The Bodhi seed was also the elixir of immortality planted by Amitabha Buddha Emperor.

The Bodhi Elixir of Immortality itself has the effect of Nirvana and rebirth, and the principles in the Nirvana Sutra clearly originate from the complete Bodhi Elixir of Immortality and Amitabha Buddha.

"So, it seems I have a connection with the Nirvana Sutra."

With a thought, Wang Gan felt the Nirvana Sutra resonate with a series of Zen-like sounds.

In the instant of enlightenment, Wang Gan's body radiated a precious glow, and golden blood energy surged forth, bursting out of his body and swirling around him, making him look like a god.

An Miaoyi, standing to the side, had a strange look in her beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected that Wang Gan was not only unparalleled in combat power, but also had such profound comprehension. He had gained such enlightenment so soon after obtaining the sacred technique from the ancient scripture.

Indeed, with the Bodhi Tree now planted within his body, Wang Gan is comparable to a top-tier genius in the cultivation world, even without using Fate Points.

The chanting of Zen scriptures rose and resonated throughout the palace, melodious and profound, with a mysterious energy flowing within it.

Ultimately, it transformed into the pattern of the ancient Bodhi seal between Wang Gan's eyebrows, becoming increasingly intricate and mysterious.

Wang Gan looked at the Bodhi Immortal Medicine in his own little world, which had already grown branches from a small seedling and developed many paths.

This Nirvana Sutra originated from the teachings of Amitabha Buddha and the Bodhi tree, and thus has a catalytic effect on the elixir of immortality itself.

"how?"

An Miaoyi's hair cascaded like a waterfall, her skin as white as snow, and she coiled around Wang Gan like a beautiful serpent.
"I have gained a lot; the scriptures of Amitabha Buddha are indeed extraordinary."

Wang Gan sighed.
"How do you know that this Nirvana Sutra originated from Amitabha Buddha?"

An Miaoyi was somewhat surprised.
Miaoyu Nunnery was originally a sect in the Western Desert, which inherited unparalleled Buddhist Zen skills. Later, it split and crossed the sea to the east, where it also obtained the Taoist dual cultivation method and changed its name to Miaoyu Nunnery.

A thousand years ago, a disciple of Shakyamuni returned from his sea voyage. Passing through the eastern wilderness, he encountered the dying abbot of Miaoyu Hermitage. Because of the intricate connections in their lineage, the abbot left behind a treatise on the essentials of Nirvana before departing.

“Shakyamuni is the incarnation of Amitabha Buddha after his death, and naturally he has the lineage of Amitabha Buddha.”

"By sheer chance, I obtained the seed of the Bodhi Elixir of Immortality," Wang Gan said calmly, recounting this ancient secret.

"I see."

An Miaoyi glanced at Wang Gan with a complicated expression. Sure enough, this man, like Wang Teng, had an amazing destiny, even managing to obtain the elixir of immortality.

"Although the Amitabha Buddha Emperor was powerful, he went astray on the final path to immortality."

"The faith of the masses is poisonous. Even Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor, perished because of the desire to ascend to immortality with the faith of the masses. The true path to immortality is not here."

Wang Gan gave An Miaoyi a meaningful look, his eyes deep, as if he could see her future.

An Miaoyi's ultimate demise was also due to the failure of her attempt to attain immortality alongside Buddhism, a consequence of the faith of the masses, leaving behind such a regrettable legacy.
There are only three true paths to immortality. The first two are the Big Dipper Immortal Path and the Flying Immortal Star Immortal Path. Unless one has great fortune and luck, even a great emperor cannot pass through them.

Only the final path to immortality in the mortal world, opening one's own path to immortality and breaking through the laws with force, is the only righteous way!

Upon hearing this, An Miaoyi also felt a chill run down her spine, sensing the deeper meaning in Wang Gan's tone.

"Since I've followed you, I'll naturally wait for you to become an immortal first."

An Miaoyi looked directly at Wang Gan, her eyes filled with determination.

"The reason I came to Kitahara this time is actually for another matter."

Wang Gan neither confirmed nor denied, but spoke up.

"The Ice Palace holds the opportunity I seek."

An Miaoyi seemed to be deep in thought.
"The Ice Palace is just an ordinary major religion, powerful enough to be second only to the Holy Land. But there was originally an ancient major religion there, which was later turned into a plain by the Dark Turmoil."

“I’m not familiar with that place, but I can help you find a map of the Ice Palace inside the temple.”

Soon after,

Ice Palace is a major sect in the Northern Region, with a long history spanning over ten thousand years, and its strength is second only to the Holy Land.

Legend has it that their founder was not human, but a snow ape with extraordinary abilities, capable of rivaling the holy lands ten thousand years ago.

"The Ice Palace is right across from us. Are we going to force our way in?"

Ye Fan glanced at the depths of the snowfield, his tone tinged with apprehension.

For miles around, towering mountains rise into the clouds, all within the territory of the Ice and Snow Palace. Through the wind and snow, one can vaguely see many mountains with glistening crystals—these are magnificent ice palaces.

Although the Ice and Snow Palace is not as powerful as the great sects that were destroyed, it is still a major force in the Northern Plains, and at least it still has the trump card of a powerful immortal.

"Need not.."

Wang Gan spoke calmly.

"We're here to seek opportunities, not to fight."

As long as there are no forces wielding ultimate weapons, Wang Gan is currently not afraid at all. His unwillingness to confront the Ice and Snow Palace is also to avoid alerting the immortal medicine in the Myriad Dragon Nest.

Ye Fan walked around the snow-capped mountain, stroking his chin as he pondered deeply, and said:
"The more I look at this place, the more unusual it seems. It probably hides a dragon vein and a large piece of unparalleled divine source."

"You're right, there really might be a Dragon's Nest here!" (End of Chapter)
