Qin Wentian's gaze studied the various holy maidens . Out of the nine, only six had managed to gather 81 pieces of parasol leaves or more .
These six holy maidens were namely, Nanfeng Qingruo, Nanfeng Shengge, Nanfeng Aoxue, Nanfeng Xihua, Nanfeng Ji, and Nanfeng Yunxi .
These six holy maidens were also the ones with the strongest protectors . They could comprehend the leaves at their leisure without fear of being disturbed . Now, everything depended on their comprehension abilities .
Qin Wentian could see that out of these six, the ones with the strongest comprehension were Nanfeng Yunxi, Nanfeng Shengge, Nanfeng Qingruo, and Nanfeng Aoxue . Nanfeng Xihua's and Nanfeng Ji's abilities were clearly a shade inferior .
From Qin Wentian's perspective, the ones with the most hope to become the Holy Successor was one of the earlier four he mentioned . They were the most popular ones out of the thirty-six holy maidens, and not only were their talents outstanding, their protectors were powerful as well . Well, Nanfeng Xihua and Nanfeng Ji were also not weak—they were just slightly weaker compared to the earlier four .
Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge both seemed to have completed comprehending 81 parasol leaves at the same instant . A fearsome aura gushed forth from both of them, causing a raging wind to kick up . Resplendent phoenix wings appeared behind their backs and completely fused with their bodies . These fearsome wings circulated a terrifying runic glow that radiated overwhelming sharpness and scorching heat, yet also exuding grace and a sense of beauty .
"How beautiful . If we didn't know that they were both humans, we might have thought that their true forms were that of a saint beast phoenix," Jun Mengchen murmured . Nanfeng Yunxi looked so natural with phoenix wings . It added to her charm and beauty, and even had a feeling of holiness to it .
Nanfeng Yunxi opened her eyes . Her wings moved gently in the wind, and she wore them with a sense of familiarity, as though she should have been born with them . Her wings gently fluttered against Qin Wentian's back as she smiled gently at him . This pair of phoenix wings were able to boost her strength by several times, as expected of the ancestral lands of the Southern Phoenix Clan .
Her wings flapped and a number of parasol leaves flew out towards the horizons . The other three holy maidens felt no joy when they saw this . Nanfeng Yunxi and the other five holy maidens had already managed to fuse the leaves into phoenix wings . They no longer had the qualifications to remain here in the ancestral lands—they had no fate with it .
"Climb atop my wings," said Nanfeng Yunxi, her words causing Qin Wentian to freeze a little . Nanfeng Yunxi continued, "We will need to enter the next dimension here in the ancestral lands . Only those with phoenix wings can gain entry . Later on, each of you just hold on tight to my wings . I will bring you all inside with me . "
As the sound of her voice faded, Nanfeng Yunxi soared up into the air . Qin Wentian nodded, and the three of them immediately went over, holding tightly to her wings .
The same scene happened to Nanfeng Shengge, Nanfeng Qingruo and the other camps .
—bzz— Raging winds kicked up . Nanfeng Yunxi sped ahead, like a scorching bolt of red lightning .
Her eyes were beautiful to the extreme, dancing with embers of fire . Far ahead, she saw an illusory door in the shape of a phoenix diagram . Her phoenix wings flapped rapidly as she dashed towards the door .
—RUMBLE!— A fearsome energy bore down on them all . Immediately after, they discovered that they'd entered the next dimension . Glancing backwards, they saw Nanfeng Ling and the other two maidens who'd failed to qualify also trying to breach the barrier of this dimension . However, whatever they did was useless . This indicated what Nanfeng Yunxi's words had been correct . Without the phoenix wings, one couldn't gain entry into the second dimension .
Next, another figure appeared . It was Nanfeng Shengge . She glanced at Nanfeng Yunxi, while her protectors coldly regarded Qin Wentian and his comrades . This was especially so for Kong Ye . His eyes shone with sharpness as the pressure of immortal might at the third-level of immortal foundation gushed forth from him .
"What's that?" Qin Wentian stared ahead, pointing at a gigantic parasol tree in the distance . The leaves on the parasol tree were all withering up in flames, illuminating its surroundings with a brilliant light .
"Heading towards death to find life," Nanfeng Yunxi mumbled . At the center of the tree, they saw an immense spiral that led to a road to nirvana, radiating a frightening aura .
"From there, we can access the next dimension . However, we must enter that road to nirvana, for only by heading towards death can one find life," said Nanfeng Yunxi . She then flew over as Qin Wentian and the others followed from behind .
At this moment, Nanfeng Qingruo, who was at the back, also entered .
"Only three holy maidens can enter," Nanfeng Yunxi added . Qin Wentian's heart trembled a moment when he heard that . It felt like everything was predestined . In the first dimension, three holy maidens had failed to obtain the phoenix wings . And now, only three people could continue to advance, eventually dwindling down to only one who can become the Holy Successor .
Very swiftly, Qin Wentian and the others stood before the nirvana roads . It radiated a scorching heat, causing even Qin Wentian to feel some fear . But after that, Qin Wentian saw Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge entering immediately with no hesitation . A blazing fire suddenly sprang up around them with terrifying heat, but they continued down the road resolutely .
"Kong Ye, help to guard this road from the other maidens," Nanfeng Shengge instructed . Kong Ye nodded his head . And at this moment, Nanfeng Qingruo's camp had also arrived . She gazed at Qin Wentian and Kong Ye as she said, "Only three can enter the roads to nirvana . With me here, the quota has been nicely filled up . "
Kong Ye exchanged glances with Qin Wentian before stepping aside . Nanfeng Qingruo entered, while her protector Jiang Ziyu also walked over to guard the nirvana roads . They didn't say a word .
At this moment, Nanfeng Aoxue had also arrived . When she saw all three nirvana roads were already occupied, her expression turned incredibly ugly to behold .
She'd used too much time in comprehension back in the first dimension and had missed the opportunity .
However, she, Nanfeng Aoxue, was the strongest among the current era of holy maidens . How could she not be one of the three who occupied the nirvana roads?
"Step aside . " Nanfeng Aoxue's protector, the golden condor Zong Zhan stepped out as he domineering commanded .
Kong Ye's body shone with a brilliant light as might of the third-level of immortal foundation gushed forth from him . How could he step aside?
Jiang Ziyu might only be at the second-level of immortal foundation, but he was a descendant of the mysterious Jiang Clan . Everyone could sense how dangerous he was with just a glance at him . In addition, Nanfeng Qingruo's other protector was also a third-level immortal-foundation expert . Nanfeng Qingruo's charisma was truly great—both her protectors were exceedingly powerful individuals . The sight of this caused Nanfeng Aoxue to frown, but after a moment of contemplation, she turned her gaze onto Qin Wentian and his comrades .
"There are three roads to nirvana, and three maidens are already on them," Nanfeng Aoxue mumbled . Others might not be able to see it clearly, but Nanfeng Aoxue could . There were three roads in the spiral that led towards nirvana, three individual paths that didn't interfere with each other . Right now, the three holy maidens on the roads were all covered in a blazing fire as they headed deeper on the pathway .
"We want this road . You'd best step aside . " Zong Zhan instantly understood Nanfeng Aoxue's intentions . There were three roads, hence there was no need to offend everyone here . They just had to seize one for themselves .
The three holy maiden camps acting as protectors for the holy maidens already on the road were all extremely strong . But clearly, the weakest link among them was Nanfeng Yunxi's group . They were all only at the first-level of immortal foundation . Although Qin Wentian and his comrades had proven their combat prowess earlier, that was merely because they had only faced off against weak opponents . The people here were all extremely strong in combat and compared to them, the cultivation base of Qin Wentian and his comrades were significantly weaker .
The Golden Heaven Warring Condor Zong Zhan was a descendant of a demon emperor . Nanfeng Aoxue was the strongest holy maiden out of the thirty-six in this generation . Her cultivation base was at the third-level of immortal-foundation—the two of them would be enough to suppress Qin Wentian's group who were protecting Nanfeng Yunxi .
"Bullying us?" Jun Mengchen's eyes flickered with a cold light . He was feeling extremely irritated . Did these people think that they were convenient to bully simply because their cultivation bases were lower by a little?
There were three nirvana roads . Yet people wanted to target theirs?
"There's no more time . " Nanfeng Aoxue burst forth with her aura, and the power of a third-level immortal foundation tyrannically swept out, pressing down on everyone . Her body glowed with light as the image of a phoenix-form immortal foundation materialized . Her immortal foundation was of the king-grade, and given her cultivation level, she was truly one of the most powerful individuals here .
—BOOM BOOM BOOM!— Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, and Purgatory's aura all erupted forth . Not only did they have to battle against Nanfeng Aoxue and Zong Zhan, they also had to contend with Rong Xiao, who Qin Wentian had already defeated, and another second-level immortal foundation expert chasing at their heels . The situation had turned extremely dangerous—under no circumstances must they allow Nanfeng Aoxue to enter the road to nirvana . Earlier, Nanfeng Yunxi said that they had to head towards death to look for life . Who knew what kind of experiences she would have to go through? Most probably, she was incapable of combat in her current form .
Zong Zhan domineeringly stepped out, transformed into his true form of a golden condor and lashed out with fearsome might .
"Mengchen, go handle him," ordered Qin Wentian . Jun Mengchen took a step forward and with the weight of the world on his back, he blasted out with a punch, ravaging the sky and earth, destroying everything .
Nanfeng Aoxue pierced out a finger strike at Qin Wentian . Her attack was like a phoenix-sharp sword, imbued with a powerful penetration effect .
Qin Wentian's perfect saint-grade immortal foundation brimmed with might . His entire body glowed resplendently as the faint image of a divine turtle enveloped him . Using his immortal energy to materialize an ancient halberd, he slashed out with overwhelming force, shattering Nanfeng Aoxue's attack .
Rong Xiao and the other expert rushed over . Purgatory transformed back into her true body and blocked the entrance . The two of them instantly started to attack her .
"Screw off . " After breaking Nanfeng Aoxue's attack, the ancient halberd in his hand erupted forth, flying out of his hands and shooting straight for Rong Xiao . That ancient halberd contained a heaven-shaking might . Rong Xiao's face was stark with fear, and he frenziedly tried to defend and buy himself some time to retreat .
—puchi!— Rong Xiao managed to retreat far away by using his movement technique, but was left heavily injured . The energy of destruction had ravaged the interior of his body as his countenance was totally ashen, filled with terror and shame . He couldn't even stand up to a single strike .
"IMPUDENT!" An extremely terrifying killing intent gushed forth . Frost covered Nanfeng Aoxue's face when she discovered that Qin Wentian had the time to divert his attention away to injure Rong Xiao while fighting against her .
