Chapter 701: Surprised Divine Phoenix, Someone Still Visits the Legend? (4K)
The Great City of Nirvana, a renowned official city within the Taixuan Realm, boasts a scale and population that rivals the main city of the Twilight Dominion, Tianze City.
The reason for Nirvana City's prosperity lies in the presence of a publicly accessible Secret Realm—the Nirvana Secret Realm—where Professionals and Lords can exchange Taixuan Contribution Points for tickets to enter.
Although the majority of people remain unaware of the legends within the Nirvana Secret Realm... Ordinary Professionals even question whether Legendary Beings truly exist.
However, the Nirvana Secret Realm offers a unique opportunity for a "Nirvana Transformation," where ordinary Professionals can undergo a significant metamorphosis within the realm, ascending to Epic Life status.
This alone is enough to attract countless strong individuals to flock to it.
Mu Yuan had visited the Nirvana Secret Realm before, utilizing its opportunity-driven powers and even purportedly encountering a Legendary Being who governs the realm.
Of course, the Legendary "Nirvana Divine Phoenix · Phoenix Venerate" did not reveal its identity during that time, and Mu Yuan couldn't be certain he had truly crossed paths with the Nirvana Divine Phoenix.
When he left the realm last time, he had obtained a keepsake—a Nirvana Feather.
This time, Mu Yuan brought it along as well.
"Let's go."
"Alright, Crow~!"
"Little Falcon understands!"
At the entrance of the Nirvana Secret Realm, the area was bustling with crowds. Despite the relatively high threshold for entry, strong individuals from all over the Taixuan Realm continued to arrive daily, drawn by its reputation.
On the surface, the scene appeared untouched by the shadow of war, brimming with vitality.
But upon closer inspection, one could notice that many of the strong individuals had dried, uncleaned bloodstains on their armor. Quite a few had rushed here directly from the frontlines. Their urgency to enhance their power stemmed from the dire state of affairs.
They understood the critical nature of the situation.
"The military exploits I've accumulated this time are just enough to let me undergo one more high-level Nirvana baptism. I'm confident that this time I'll achieve a major transformation, drastically boosting both my potential and combat power!"
"Right now, with calamity sweeping through, entire battle zones and countless towns are under catastrophic attack. Without powerful strength, we would be left helpless, watching as one town after another falls—including perhaps even our loved ones. That is simply unacceptable!"
"But our individual strength is still too insignificant. Even though you and I are of the Legendary Realm, in this kind of catastrophic war, we are only slightly stronger than foot soldiers. During the last war, there were over a thousand Legendary Monsters within the monstrous tides alone. It's not just us— even the commanders of the Law Realm are often powerless."
The Legendary Strongman spoke, shaking his head slightly. He opened his mouth again, "Unless…"
He looked toward the entrance of the Secret Realm. "Unless a Legendary Being intervenes—only then would there be a chance to save the day. And reportedly, the Nirvana opportunities within the Secret Realm originate from the existence sitting within the realm itself. Say, if we could ever win the favor of that Legendary, then…"
He didn't finish his sentence, instead shaking his head in self-mockery.
Such things were but dreams.
That said, it's not that they hadn't tried.
Any strong individual who suspected the presence of Legendary Beings in the realm had harbored such dreams. But in reality, not to mention earning the favor of the Legendary, even those who had truly laid eyes upon this enigmatic being were incredibly few.
This included even the esteemed and influential Law Realm powerhouses within the alliance.
"To see a Legendary—it's hard! Hard! Hard!"
...
"Is it really that easy to meet a Legendary?"
As Mu Yuan entered the Secret Realm, he hadn't even taken out the token when he suddenly sensed a mysterious, enigmatic will descending upon him.
The will entered Nirvana Town.
Soon after, the intangible will transformed into colorful flowing light, which then condensed and materialized into a young girl dressed in a vibrant rainbow garment, standing roughly 1.5 meters tall.
Throughout the process, none of the Professionals bustling in and out of the town seemed to notice anything.
It was as if nothing unusual had occurred.
Mu Yuan didn't pay much attention to this detail.
For a higher-dimensional existence to shield others' perceptions with some minor means—that was effortless.
Mu Yuan himself could do it too.
What caught his attention was…
Uh, um, so—this girl was the Nirvana Divine Phoenix · Phoenix Venerate?
The Divine Phoenix also observed the two humans and one bird in front of her and immediately recognized Mu Yuan.
Back then, it was this fellow who, along with his followers, siphoned a considerable amount of Nirvana energy from her domain. Of course, as a magnanimous Phoenix Venerate, she didn't mind such things.
Her sudden descent now was because… she faintly perceived a trace of Legendary presence!
As the Nirvana Divine Phoenix, she held dominion over powers such as transformation, Nirvana, rebirth, and evolution, making her exceedingly perceptive of Life Ranks.
Ordinarily, even without direct action, it would be challenging for two Legendary Beings to confirm each other's existence.
But the Divine Phoenix was different.
Indeed, as soon as she descended and came into close contact, she immediately discovered that the azure-colored bird before her was a Legendary Being!
A Legend—the Wind King, the master of wind!
When did a Legendary arrive in the Taixuan Realm?
However, as the Divine Phoenix entertained this thought, she abruptly noticed the aura of Life Rank from the two humans nearby seemed equally extraordinary.
This Human Lord she knew, it seemed, possibly, probably, was also a Legend!
A Legend elevated through acquired means!
And the human girl trailing half a step behind this Human Lord, wearing a hood… The Divine Phoenix was deeply astonished to find that she couldn't discern her rank.
She couldn't determine whether this human female was of Legendary Status or Epic Rank.
