Deep within the Sun Star, in the Sun God Palace.
Nine colossal divine nests, like burning stars, stood in the center of a magnificent hall.
These divine nests were entirely woven from the gnarled branches of the innate spiritual root, the Fusang Divine Tree.
Each branch was naturally engraved with profound Solar Divine Runes, eventually combining to form a vast and intricate spirit-gathering array.
At this moment, the array was operating at full power.
The almost infinite and violent Solar Divine Fire from the core of the Sun Star was frantically extracted, gathered, and refined.
It transformed into nine golden torrents, so blazing they distorted space, continuously pouring into the core of the divine nests.
At the core of eight of these divine nests, a giant egg floated, each radiating Solar True Fire and adorned with profound golden patterns.
They were like eight bottomless abysses, greedily devouring the incoming Origin of the sun.
With each infusion of energy, the golden patterns on the surface of the giant eggs became brighter and deeper, and the aura they emitted grew stronger and more condensed.
And in the ninth divine nest, it was Lu Jun who sat cross-legged.
Beside him stood four figures: Di Jun, Tai Yi, Xi He, and the future Lu Ya, now the tenth child, You Min!
Lu Jun's expression was extremely solemn, even carrying a hint of imperceptible anxiety:
"Father, Uncle, Mother, this power of Nirvana is by no means easy! The difficulty of Awakening surpasses imagination!"
"It cannot be achieved without being on the brink of death, without great perseverance, and without a great Heavenly Opportunity! Bo Huang and his brothers are the most direct proof!"
"If I hadn't had a fortunate Opportunity to Awaken first and protected them with all my might, our ten brothers would have long turned to ashes, our Divine Souls annihilated, not even a trace of our True Spirit remaining!"
He looked intently at Di Jun and Tai Yi, his tone filled with a strong warning:
"Especially Father and Uncle! Your cultivation has reached the Peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm, reaching the heavens and earth!"
"At such a Realm, how easy is it to truly fall into a life-threatening situation?"
"The beings in the world that can threaten you are already extremely rare!"
"Even if you deliberately set up a scheme to trigger the Nirvana Opportunity, the chance of success... is probably one in ten thousand! No, it's even a slim hope of one in a billion!"
"Once Nirvana fails, it is truly the annihilation of the Dao and the body! Both form and spirit are destroyed! There isn't even a chance to re-enter Reincarnation and cultivate again!"
"This path is too perilous! I implore Father and Uncle, do not put yourselves in danger!"
Lu Jun felt helpless.
All talk of self-Comprehension was just an excuse.
His success was entirely due to that mysterious "System"!
His words conveyed only one core message: don't actively seek death! I can't even control this thing myself; it's all thanks to a cheat!
However, Di Jun and Tai Yi's reactions once again exceeded Lu Jun's expectations.
Di Jun stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as deep as the starry sky, showing not the slightest fear, but rather a magnificent pride that looked down upon the Grandmist world:
"Jun'er, you speak of its peril and extremely low success rate. But no matter how low, can it be lower than the chance of proving the Dao and becoming a Saint?"
"Your father and your uncle, we dare to pursue the elusive and almost impossible Saint Dao, dare to contend with the Heavenly Dao, dare to fight against the Earthly Dao. What is there to fear from the mere peril of Nirvana?"
"If we don't even dare to take this small risk, how can we talk about reaching the pinnacle of the Great Dao?"
Lu Jun opened his mouth, momentarily speechless.
Becoming a Saint?
That was almost a dead end!
But Di Jun's words left him unable to refute.
No matter how difficult Nirvana was, it seemed to be a tiny bit "easier" than becoming a Saint?
Although he knew this "easiness" was entirely an illusion brought about by the System.
Tai Yi, even more so, let out a hearty laugh, his laughter filled with absolute confidence and unmatched sharpness:
"Hahaha! Nephew Lu Jun, we understand your worries! But do not underestimate your uncle and your father!"
"No matter how difficult Nirvana is, can it truly stump us?"
"You and Bo Huang were able to succeed in a desperate situation; we two are stronger, our Dao Hearts are firmer, and our Comprehension of the Great Dao is deeper. How could we fail?"
"This path of Nirvana is precisely the grand road for our Golden Crow Clan to Breakthrough the Bloodline shackles and reach a stronger Realm!"
"Jun'er, since you have already succeeded, you need not worry. Just tell us the key to Nirvana as you know it!"
Xi He stood by, observing the worry in her son's eyes and the heroic spirit of her husband and his brother. Although she also had concerns, she had more trust in Di Jun and Tai Yi.
Lu Jun smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that further persuasion would be futile.
He composed himself and began to explain the "principles" he had observed from the System's operations and deduced by combining theories of stellar evolution from his previous life:
"Very well. From what I have comprehended, Golden Crow Nirvana hinges on three key points!"
"Three points?" Tai Yi listened intently.
Lu Jun continued: "That's right, exactly three points!"
"First, the core!"
"One must, within the body, pre-condense an extremely stable core that possesses terrifying centripetal collapse force!"
"This core must be able to withstand the full impact of the power unleashed at the brink of death and become the ultimate gravitational source!"
"Second, Soul condensation!"
"At the very moment true death descends and the True Spirit is about to dissipate, all remnant Souls and True Spirit imprints must be forcefully gathered and anchored within this core! Not a single trace can be allowed to scatter!"
"Third, collapse!"
"The core must activate at the instant of death, generating an irresistible inward collapse force, forcibly condensing all remaining energy, vital blood, and even fragments of Dao principles around the core with billions of times the compression force!"
"Ultimately, with the core as the foundation, energy as the shell, and the Soul as the guide, the Nirvana Egg is formed!"
After Lu Jun finished speaking, his gaze swept over Di Jun and Tai Yi.
This was Lu Jun's summary based on the System's evolution process.
These three points were incredibly demanding, especially the strength of the core and the terrifying collapse force, which were almost beyond human capability.
Surely you'll know when to retreat from difficulty now, right?
However, he clearly underestimated the Comprehension Ability of Innnate Sacred Beings and the profoundness of their accompanying Spirit Treasures!
After listening, Tai Yi's face showed no difficulty; instead, it revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment, even a hint of wild joy!
He almost subconsciously flipped his right hand!
"Dong!"
A prolonged bell chime, as if from the dawn of Chaos, resounded through the divine palace!
An ancient, profound yellow giant bell appeared out of thin air, with the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind circling it, and mountains, rivers, earth, and the myriad races of the Grandmist world faintly visible within.
It floated above Tai Yi's palm, emitting a terrifying aura that suppressed all heavens and universes, and stabilized the earth, water, fire, and wind!
"Hahaha, so that's it, I understand!" Tai Yi's face showed an expression of sudden realization.
"I wondered why the chaos bell is my accompanying Spirit Treasure! So its true 'accompanying' meaning is actually here!"
Lu Jun was shaken by this sudden turn of events and the boundless majesty of the chaos bell, and subconsciously asked: "Uncle, why do you say that?"
Tai Yi caressed the chaos bell, his tone filled with absolute certainty and excitement:
"Jun'er, look! You said a core is needed that can withstand everything and possesses unparalleled inward collapse force! What else could be more suitable as a core than this Innate Supreme Spirit Treasure, the chaos bell?"
"It is infinitely profound, with endless creation! It can suppress the Chaos and Grandmist, it can confine time and space, it can reverse Qian and Kun, Yin and Yang!"
"The great power of 'suppression' and 'confinement' inherent within it is itself the strongest inward collapse, confinement, and condensation force!"
"If I use it as a foundation, integrate it into my body, and make it the Nirvana core!"
"At the moment of near death, it will not only be able to withstand the destructive power of my Quasi-Saint Peak Realm but also spontaneously suppress my dissipating True Spirit, forcibly gathering it within the bell!"
"At the same time, its ability to reverse time and space and refine Yin and Yang is enough to generate a terrifying collapse force beyond your imagination, forcibly condensing all my essence around the bell body to form the Nirvana Egg!"
"This is a match made in heaven!"
Lu Jun: "!!!"
Holy cow!
It can be done like that?
