Chapter 109 Su Bai's Background
Grandma reminded her, "If you want to break through to the Golden Core stage, the Spirit Sparrow Pool is indeed a good choice, but with your current foundation, it's a bit of a pipe dream to think you can break through to the Yuan Yang Hui stage with just the Spirit Sparrow Pool."

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Then how can I enter the Golden Core stage?"

After a moment of silence, Grandma said, "Struck by lightning!"

When a cultivator enters the Golden Core stage, it is the first time they encounter a tribulation of lightning, the first cycle of fighting against the heavens. The Golden Core shines with unique brilliance step by step under the tempering of the tribulation of lightning.

Even cultivators in the Enlightenment stage who have reached the pseudo-Golden Core level dare not withstand the tribulation lightning head-on.

However, Lin Zhao's physical body has already exceeded the limits that can be achieved during the enlightenment stage.

Lin Zhao believed her grandmother's words without a doubt, "Where are we going to find a place that's been struck by lightning?"

Grandma chuckled: "Isn't this patch of ground right here where you're standing?"

If this meeting were held elsewhere, Grandma wouldn't have thought of this method, but once it's at the Thunder Palace, she has countless ways to summon lightning tribulations to help this disciple.

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up, and after the meeting ended, she found Su Bai and asked him about it.

"Does Sister need a tribulation of lightning?" Su Bai looked at her with considerable surprise.

Lin Zhao nodded.

Su Bai frowned slightly. He could make decisions on other matters, but since the Thunder Palace was mainly focused on lightning, his decision-making power regarding matters involving lightning tribulations was very limited.

Before he could figure out how to ask the elders of the Thunder Palace for permission, Granny Honghu appeared before him. "Young man, don't overthink it. Let me meet your master."

Facing the azure phantom of Granny Honghu, Su Bai's narrow eyes slowly narrowed: "Senior, who are you?"

"Don't pretend with me like that. Didn't you already investigate my past?"

Su Bai wasn't embarrassed when he was exposed. He said, "This junior has been disrespectful."

Grandma Honghu floated around him once: "Your cultivation level is quite terrifying."

Moreover, there was something about this guy that gave her the creeps.

There aren't many things in this world that can give her this feeling.

Is this kid some kind of descendant of a deity?
Su Bai said, "Sister, please come with me, senior."

Seeing this, the others from Thunder Palace obediently left on their own. Xuanji Immortal Venerable of Yin and Yang Palace smiled and egged them on: "Young Ning, do you want to follow them?"

Ning Wengui smiled slightly: "Let's go to the accommodations arranged for us by the Thunder Palace."

This is the Thunder Palace. He is the captain of the Yin-Yang Palace. No matter how curious he is about what Lin Zhao has been doing, he has to take care of the Yin-Yang Palace first.

As for the South China Sea Academy, Han Yan gave the order, leaving only Su Ye to wait for Lin Zhao while the others went to their accommodations at the South China Sea Academy.

Lin Zhao followed Su Bai for an unknown amount of time before finally arriving at a secluded cave.

Inside the cave, faint flashes of electricity could be seen.

Grandma Honghu looked around and sighed slowly, "Old man, it's been so many years, why don't you come out and see your old friends?"

The lightning inside the cave intensified, eventually coalescing into the image of an old man in black robes, with a silver-white lightning palace pattern between his brows.

He kept his aura understated, and there was no outward display of power as he walked, just like an ordinary old man.

“Honghu Fengxiao, I never expected that you would only have a wisp of soul left.” Grandma Honghu was somewhat lost in thought when she heard her own name. “After all these years, there is still someone who remembers my name. But it has been a long time since we last met, Lei Niao Fang Dai.”

Fang Dai looked at Lin Zhao and sighed, "The ancient phoenixes are destined to live on forever. You old codger, your eyes have always been sharp."

Grandma Honghu smiled bitterly: "I dare not be less ruthless. If I had learned this lesson back then, I wouldn't have been demoted from Baihuang to Honghu."

That would lower the rank of a divine beast.

The White Phoenix could have been a true phoenix species, second only to the Heavenly Phoenix, but the current Honghu can only be considered a sub-phoenix species.

Fang Dai stroked his beard, ignoring his grandmother's painful past, and instead scrutinized Lin Zhao for a moment, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, followed by some doubt: "I'm here because I've calculated some things. I understand your purpose, but are you really willing to let your personal disciple be tainted by the Thunderbird's aura?"

“You also know that she is the Ancient Phoenix, and with me here, the swan aura within her Phoenix Aura will not weaken. She also has a young Azure Phoenix, which can nourish her Phoenix Aura in return. However, both my nurturing and that of the Azure Phoenix lack some of the most intense and fierce aggression. This is absolutely unacceptable for her to cultivate the Undying Golden Body.”

Fang Dai was from the same generation as Granny Honghu back then, and upon hearing her say this, he already guessed what she was going to do. His gaze became complicated: "I didn't realize you had such ambitions. The Undying Golden Body Technique, you really are raising this child as if he were that deity."

Grandma Honghu said, "How do you know it can't succeed if you don't try? The Heavenly Phoenix lineage has been showing signs of decline since our generation. Now it's probably just a lean camel that's still bigger than a horse. If we want to restore the power of the Ancestral Phoenix, we can only find another way."

After saying that, she instructed Lin Zhao: "Show the Lord of Thunder Palace your sword."

Lin Zhao nodded, and the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword was drawn. The moment it was unleashed, Fang Dai froze.

He looked at the cyan longsword floating in front of him and seemed to see another figure, standing at the pinnacle of all living beings, protecting the billions of Phoenix Clan creatures.

"The Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword..." Thunderbird let out a long sigh.

"No wonder you've spared no effort in nurturing him."

After waving Su Bai away, he said, "Have your disciple come with me."

If the Bone Sword hadn't appeared, he would have had to ask Granny Honghu for some benefits, but with the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword appearing, there's no need to say anything more.

Lin Zhao and Lei Niao passed through a deep, dark tunnel when Fang Dai asked, "What do you think of Su Bai?"

Lin Zhao replied without hesitation: "With such exceptional talent, I will certainly do my utmost to catch up."

Fang Dai chuckled lightly: "That child probably won't stay here for long. If he makes any requests of you during the competition, it's best not to refuse if you can avoid it."

Lin Zhao asked in confusion, "Isn't Xiao Bai the young master of Thunder Palace? Why won't he stay here for long?"

"Because of his true identity. Lei Yuan asked you where you found him, right? The main reason I took him as my disciple was because I sensed his extraordinary qualities, in addition to his lightning-type Heavenly Spiritual Root, there was also the terrifying power of his bloodline."

Lin Zhao was taken aback. Did this child she had taken in have a terrifying bloodline that she was unaware of?
“Besides the five creator gods, the Ancestral Phoenix and the Ancestral Dragon, there are three others, one of whom is the Demon Ancestor.” Fang said, “The higher this child’s cultivation level, the more obvious his demonic features become. He should be a direct descendant of the Demon Ancestor.”

Of course, Fang Dai dared not say he was completely certain, because even a direct descendant of a deity would not possess the pure bloodline and innate perception of heaven and earth that Su Bai had.

Furthermore, it is said that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, the Demon Ancestor, did not leave any direct descendants. The current Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan is merely a manifestation of his power.

The Demon Ancestor was also one of the five Creator Gods who disappeared without leaving any definite news of his death after the war of world destruction.

Some speculate that he went to reincarnation, some speculate that the Demon Ancestor was seriously injured and found a place to heal, and some speculate that among the five, the Demon Ancestor was born the latest and was the weakest. He was bombarded by the war of destruction and unlike the other four who still had fragments of their souls and bodies, he was left without even a trace.

Su Bai is currently the only person with a direct lineage to the Demon Ancestor, and the Demon Ancestor Continent will eventually come looking for him and take him away.

Even if people from the Ancestral Phoenix Continent came, they couldn't say anything about this.
