Chapter 372: 372
"But if after the death of a Nirvana Being, the Power of Nirvana in their body doesn\'t disperse, or disperses very little, and adheres to some material within the body, condensing into an object, that object is called Reincarnation Ashes. Reincarnation Ashes are almost equivalent to the total energy of a Nirvana Being while alive.
Compared to the mere leftover energy of Nirvana Remains, it is naturally far superior."
"You\'re saying that the energy contained within this thing is equivalent to the Strength of a Nirvana Being?" Lin Shen was overjoyed, knowing that this thing must be very valuable.
"Not just any Nirvana Being, only a Great Nirvana Being could condense Reincarnation Ashes. A Minor Nirvana Being at most could leave behind Nirvana Remains," Ouyang Yudu said with a smile, "This thing has immense uses. With it, you might not even need a Nirvana Egg, nor have to seek a place of Base Mutation, to directly succeed in Nirvana."
"Such an advantage!" Only then did Lin Shen realize what a treasure he had stumbled upon.
"And that\'s not the only benefit. The Strength contained within the Reincarnation Ashes is the transformative power of a lifetime\'s cultivation and enlightenment of a Nirvana Being. So, using Reincarnation Ashes, an Ascender can easily complete Nirvana, with a very small chance of failure.
If you don\'t use it for Nirvana, you can still perceive its Power of Nirvana, which will also be very beneficial for your own future Nirvana."

"However, there\'s a downside to using Reincarnation Ashes for Nirvana. If you use someone else\'s Reincarnation Ashes for Nirvana, then your final achievement would basically be just that. The powerful beings capable of condensing Reincarnation Ashes after death are already those who have perfected that Nirvana Strength.
If you inherit their Power of Nirvana, it will be difficult for your achievement to surpass theirs. Becoming a Nirvana-level powerhouse isn\'t difficult, but it\'s very hard to become one of the top tier."
"I just want to know, is this thing very valuable?" Lin Shen didn\'t care about those details; he had never thought of taking a shortcut to Nirvana.
"Valuable, extremely valuable. In some ways, Reincarnation Ashes could be even more valuable than the opportunity to use a Nirvana Egg or a place of Base Mutation. Whether it\'s Great Nirvana or Minor Nirvana, both come with significant risks. Using Reincarnation Ashes carries much lower risk and can still result in becoming a rather strong Nirvana Being.
Many Ascenders who are unwilling to take risks or who do not pursue perfection would be eager to use Reincarnation Ashes for Nirvana. It\'s just that Reincarnation Ashes are produced in very small quantities and have always been in short supply," Ouyang Yudu answered.
"If I wanted to use these Reincarnation Ashes in exchange for a chance to use a top Base Mutation place, would those powerful families agree?" Lin Shen asked again.
"They might agree, depending on what kind of being left behind these Reincarnation Ashes. If it\'s from a top-tier Nirvana Creature, or a famous Nirvana-level Powerhouse, or contains some special Power of Nirvana, I think those powerful families would be more than willing to exchange with you."
Ouyang Yudu paused before continuing, "Unfortunately, we don\'t know who left behind these Reincarnation Ashes, which is a bit of a disadvantage. When you have time, you could research what kind of Nirvana Attributes it incubates. If the attributes are unique enough, even without knowing its origin, you can still sell it for a sky-high price."
"What counts as unique?" Lin Shen didn\'t quite understand what Ouyang Yudu meant by unique.
"The Power of Nirvana has attributes that are ever-changing and varied, and it\'s not easy to say which one is considered special. However, in the understanding of most people, Nirvana Powers involving the realms of space, time, creation, and destruction are considered to be somewhat special," Ouyang Yudu explained to Lin Shen some knowledge about the Nirvana Level.
After a successful Nirvana, one would possess a Nirvana Attribute, which is what is commonly referred to as the Power of Nirvana.
For example, there\'s a Nirvana Being in the Ouyang Family whose Nirvana Attribute is the Ice Spirit Fire. After acquiring this Nirvana Attribute, he could transform his strength into Ice Spirit Fire.
Whenever he uses his strength to fight, both his body and Life Base would be imbued with the attribute of Ice Spirit Fire, and even when using Spirit Base and equipment, they could also be enhanced with Ice Spirit Fire.
The Ouyang Family also has a Nirvana Being who possesses the Nirvana Attribute of Heavenly Thunder Strike, which also allows him to enhance his power with thunder and lightning.
It\'s said that some special Powers of Nirvana can grant abilities that speed up or slow down time, which are incredibly terrifying.
"So it essentially gives one\'s strength a certain attribute, similar to enchantment," Lin Shen seemed to understand.
"Indeed, it\'s quite similar, but a Nirvana Attribute can influence the evolution of your body. After reaching the Nirvana level, you can choose to undergo Nirvana multiple times; the more times you undergo Nirvana, the stronger the Nirvana Attribute becomes. The stronger this influence, the more formidable it is.
Some mad Nirvana Beings undergo Nirvana over and over, with their bodies assimilated by their Nirvana Attributes. Those with the Fire Attribute transform into beings of fire, existing in flames and moving freely within stars. Nirvana Beings with the Metallic Attribute have their bodies completely metallized, achieving almost immortal forms," explained Ouyang Yudu.
"Can such Nirvana Beings still be considered human?" Lin Shen asked with a strange expression.
"That\'s why Nirvana is different from the rebirth of Ascenders. Rebirth only changes the Life Base, while Nirvana changes the self. A common Nirvana Being, after two or three Nirvanas, could still control their Power of Nirvana to retain their fleshly body.
But with more Nirvana occurrences, the body gradually evolves in a non-human direction, eventually becoming entirely non-human, even affecting the spirit. In mild cases, it can result in a drastic change in temperament, and in severe cases, the loss of humanity."
"The more frequent the Nirvana, the stronger the strength, but the body evolves in a less controllable, non-human direction. Fewer Nirvanas mean less strength compared to those who have undergone Nirvana numerous times. While control is easier with fewer Nirvanas, the strength is lacking. The choice between the two depends on the individual\'s judgment and decision," Ouyang Yudu chuckled and said.
"It\'s said that among the Powerful Cosmic Races, there are many who have undergone Nirvana seven or eight times and still manage to keep their bodies and their true core unchanged. Most of them rely on their own cultivation methods and secret techniques. If the cultivation method is not up to par and there\'s no corresponding secret technique, one can only undergo Nirvana three or four times at most.
Any more than that and one risks becoming non-human," Ouyang Yudu shared a smile.
"Why is the Nirvana Level so perilous? It\'s not only dangerous to advance to the Nirvana Level but even after ascension, it remains so difficult?" Lin Shen sighed.
"We carbon-based beings practice with the objective of transcending humanity, and becoming non-human is actually the norm. To maintain human form is the real mistake—yet, who among ordinary people would willingly give up their flesh and blood? Of course, it\'s also possible that most Nirvana Beings simply wish to preserve their humanity.
What\'s the point if one loses their humanity, no matter how strong they become?" said Ouyang Yudu.
