Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1278: Ineffable Mystery

Inside, there’s a power that Gu Qiaoqiao can’t quite identify. Perhaps it’s the mysterious force she just thought of, and it seems to be related to the Phoenix Clan’s Nirvana Rebirth.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression became serious as she asked, "Sister Xiao Wen, do you know the entire process of your Phoenix Clan’s Nirvana Rebirth?"

Xiao Wen nodded, "What I told you before was just a rough outline. This time, I’ll tell you the detailed process..."

Then Xiao Wen started speaking softly.

It turns out that the Nirvana Rebirth of the Imperial Clan isn’t much different from the tales told among common folk. When death approaches, the Nirvana people’s bodies begin to ignite with red flames, and the process is truly painful.

The skin, flesh, bones, and hair burn continuously in the red flames, but they don’t turn to ashes. Instead, they form into stones, somewhat similar to the relics left behind when a monk reaches enlightenment and passes away.

However, these stones differ from the relics because these stones are alive.

Once the Nirvana person’s body completely transforms into these little stones, a second burning begins. This time, the red flames are fiercer, fusing the little stones into one large stone.

This stone is black, somewhat resembling a human womb before birth.

The flame persists as the Nirvana Flame, burning around the stone, nurturing the rebirth of the Nirvana person within.

After three whole years, the Nirvana person finally emerges into the world again.

Some memories before Nirvana may remain, while others may be entirely forgotten.

Nonetheless, they are genuinely reborn as humans.

Aside from inheriting all the characteristics of the Phoenix Clan, there is no difference from regular humans.

The stone that envelops the Nirvana person will eventually become a small black stone, which is now in Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand.

After listening, Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Xiao Wen and asked uncertainly, "Sister Xiao Wen, do you think Uncle Fang’s situation is similar to yours?"

Xiao Wen shook her head, "Not at all. First, Fang Liang is not of the Phoenix Clan. Second, Fang Liang’s leg has no life left."

"Then, does this pain truly make it unbearable for Uncle Fang?" Gu Qiaoqiao continued to ask.

Xiao Wen nodded, "Yes, Brother Fang told me he’s a very resilient person who can endure extraordinary pain, but this pain was insufferable for him. Helplessly, he had to remove it. Plus, he has no idea why it changed color. He doesn’t know my number, and he doesn’t want to ask the Gu Family for my contact, so he put the stone away again until I came to see him this time..."

"Then are you not planning to give him your stone?"

Xiao Wen frowned, "I don’t know either."

Then, Xiao Wen and Gu Qiaoqiao exchanged glances, both utterly clueless about these matters.

There were no elders around at the moment.

Even if there were elders, they would need to be authoritative enough, like the Gu Family Ancestor or Xiao Wen’s father, but neither of them could be contacted right now. Up to this point, Xiao Wen’s father hadn’t sent her any information.

The same was true for the Gu Family Ancestor.

Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t given up the idea of searching for him.

Suddenly thinking of someone, Gu Qiaoqiao murmured, "Do you think Dongfang Yu might know?"

Dongfang Yu’s Art of Eternal Life and the Phoenix Clan’s Nirvana share similarities. After fighting with Dongfang Yu for so long, he thoroughly understands her secrets, but she and Xiao Wen know absolutely nothing about how long Dongfang Yu has lived, where he came from, or how he lives. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

That guy is too cunning.

Truly an old fox.

Xiao Wen furrowed her brow, "Dongfang Yu has been confined by Nie Luan. If we want to ask him, we first have to deal with Nie Luan, and most importantly, I don’t want Nie Luan to learn my secret."

"Yes, and even if we do see Dongfang Yu, we can’t be sure if what he tells us is true or false," Gu Qiaoqiao added.

"Right, what if he gives false information? That would be worse."

"I wonder if Xiao Bai knows?" Gu Qiaoqiao said regretfully, "Xiao Bai is strange too. It happily stayed with me, and we agreed to come to Jinling City together. Who would’ve thought, the day before we came, Xiao Bai ran away and disappeared."

Xiao Wen replied nonchalantly, "Xiao Bai was never just an ordinary house cat and couldn’t always stay at home. Perhaps it learned something about its owner."

At that time, Gu Qiaoqiao was already prepared and couldn’t let a cat disrupt her plans. So she asked her family to keep an eye out for the white cat’s return and call her.

So far, they had already been gone for three days and nights, and it seemed the white cat hadn’t returned yet.

Gu Qiaoqiao handed the red stone to Xiao Wen and comforted her, "Sister Xiao Wen, don’t think too much. Let things happen naturally. When you have the time and make contact with Uncle, everything will become clear, right?"

Xiao Wen nodded, "I can only wait for news from my dad."

Subsequently, Xiao Wen put the stone away, and the two exchanged a few words before leaving. Being young, they dared not jump to conclusions about the mysterious unknown.

As they reached the door, Gu Qiaoqiao suddenly asked, "Sister Xiao Wen, have you seen Uncle Fang’s leg?"

"Don’t mention it. When I requested it, Fang Liang’s face darkened immediately, and he actually served tea and dismissed me. How strange is that?

I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to take a good look and understand what’s going on. Hearing a thousand words can’t compare to seeing it, but he’s truly a stubborn person," Xiao Wen said in frustration.

"Alright, don’t be angry. He has his reasons for not letting you see it. I believe most people wouldn’t show you," Gu Qiaoqiao said crisply, patting her shoulder.

Yes, no matter the person or how close they are, nobody would want to reveal their pain for others to see.

Especially not someone like Fang Liang.

"Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Come, let’s go eat," Xiao Wen said with a loud cheer.

Gu Qiaoqiao paused to think, then suggested, "Sister Xiao Wen, I think you should temporarily leave the stone with Uncle Fang. After all, this stone has been with him for over twenty years. Great Grandfather said these treasures seek out their owners. The fact that Uncle Fang chanced upon it and cherished it is a kind of fate, and didn’t you say it’s fine as long as he doesn’t wear it?"

Xiao Wen nodded, knowing this, "Yes, Brother Fang said everything is normal if not worn."
