Chapter 118 The Soul Continues Its Own
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Zhao, Gu Mu could only sigh, but was also somewhat relieved that Lin Zhao hadn't directly refused.

"Come closer, I'll take you to the Heavenly Phoenix Source Support Point now."

Lin Zhao spoke briefly with her grandmother to make sure the old man meant no harm before stepping forward.

As soon as she approached the ancient tree, a bright green light shone beneath her feet, and soon Lin Zhao's figure disappeared into this world.

……

The summit of Yunding Mountain.

After learning from the disciples beside him what the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable had done over the years, the black-haired youth's eyes gradually darkened.

"Senior Uncle..." The younger disciple looked at the young man in front of him, who resembled the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable by three or four tenths, with some fear. He defended himself in a low voice under pressure: "Senior Sister has been very good to us. She has really done a lot over the years. Master is too biased towards Junior Sister."

Which of these disciples had not received kindness from Lin Zhao's family?

They simply had never had the chance to meet the Cloud Peak Immortal before, and thus could not speak out for her.

Now, those disciples of the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable, who had been reduced to cripples, were tortured to death by the disciples they had enslaved before. Chen Luoluo died, and the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable was being hunted down by the South China Sea Academy and his whereabouts were unknown. The lives of these lower-level disciples have improved, and they can now see powerful figures that they couldn't see before.

So even if he would be punished by the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable's senior brother who appeared out of nowhere, he still had to say a few words for Lin Zhao.

Looking at the disciple's token in his hand, Yun Che's impression of the girl in blue in his memory changed once again.

These past few days, not only the disciples of Cloud Peak Mountain and he himself have been pleading for Lin Zhao, but even the sect leader of Ten Thousand Swords Sect has hinted that Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable has been unfair and too harsh on his eldest disciple.

Yun Che sighed, "You've all worked hard these past years."

He understood why his junior brother was like this, but those who didn't know about the past of Yunding couldn't possibly understand.

The young disciple's eyes lit up when he saw that Yun Che was listening to him. Just as he was about to say something, the young man in front of him suddenly stood up.

"Is this the spirit of heaven and earth moving? Has someone entered the Heavenly Phoenix Source Pivot?!" Yun Che frowned, changed the hand seals, and after a brief thought, his soul left his body, transforming into a handsome young man. The young man nodded to Yun Che, and with a movement, disappeared in front of Yun Che.

The young disciple stared at Yun Che in disbelief at the sight.

Such skill was something even the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable did not display back then!
It seems that this senior master is even stronger than the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable!

……

Lin Zhao looked at the somewhat dimming flowing spiritual point in front of him and said, "Is this the fulcrum?"

The voice of the ancient tree echoed in her mind: "Yes, it was originally a spiritual abyss, but now, after being hit by many blows, only this one point remains."

Lin Zhao sighed, and before she could do anything, the flowing spiritual energy automatically drifted to her side, radiating a sense of intimacy.

Lin Zhao raised his hand, and the spiritual point transformed into countless fragments of light that merged into Lin Zhao's body, flowing through it.

Seeing this, Gu Mu's divine sense exclaimed in shock, "A woman from another plane?"

Although those who possess the Phoenix Destiny will inevitably gain the affinity of the Heavenly Phoenix Source Pivot, he had never seen anyone like Lin Zhao, who could directly merge with the Pivot while in human form!

He quickly understood why.

After merging with the spiritual point, Lin Zhao's spine emitted a soft light.

That was the spine of the Ancestral Phoenix, so it could naturally merge completely with the Ancestral Phoenix's will.

As the spiritual energy entered his body, Lin Zhao felt all the discomfort and fatigue he had experienced after his advancement vanish completely. His meridians were continuously strengthened and widened, and the number of spiritual energy streams increased to ten.

If he were to cultivate on his own, it would take an unknown amount of time. However, with the help of the Heavenly Phoenix Source, he completed the task with unparalleled ease and a foundation that could not be more solid.

When the spirit emerged from her body and affectionately nuzzled Lin Zhao's forehead, Lin Zhao's expression became somewhat complicated.

"Teacher, is there any way to save it?"

Grandma remained silent for a long time before saying, "Yes, I actually know a way."

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up: "What do I need to do?"

Grandma said, "Sever your soul, and use it as a support. As you grow, it will nourish and strengthen the soul. As long as you live, it won't collapse. Of course, you can also do what that old blockhead said, but that means you'll be inseparable from the Heavenly Phoenix Source for the rest of your life, becoming its puppet." Lin Zhao would never choose the latter, but the soul severance…

However, Lin Zhao is only at the Golden Core stage now. Once a part of her soul is cut out, the damage she will suffer is unpredictable.

Lin Zhao fell silent. As a reborn individual, she understood better than anyone what it meant to have one's soul severed during the Golden Core stage.

She watched the spirit point spinning around her without saying a word, but the little creature was very happy, trembling up and down and constantly changing into various shapes, as if trying to make her happy.

Lin Zhao pointed at the little guy with her index finger: "You're going to disappear, you silly goose, save your energy."

Lingdian nuzzled Lin Zhao's fingertips, then transformed into a tiny phoenix and landed in Lin Zhao's arms.

Lin Zhao carried it and walked towards where it had appeared.

As Lin Zhao was about to put the little phoenix back where it belonged, she suddenly smiled and stroked the delicate feathers that were formed from the phoenix's spiritual energy: "Although this is the first time we've met, I know that my rebirth is because of your existence. But what can I do, little one? I'm a little selfish and don't want to take this risk for you."

The little phoenix clung to Lin Zhao's fingertips with its wings, but was suddenly crushed into a shard of light by Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao looked at the spirit points shattered into star-like fragments in his hand, and the light in his eyes gradually brightened.

Something within her was drawn away from her, finding a point of spiritual energy that regrouped, and she lifted that point of spiritual energy.

When Yun Che's spirit arrived, he was terrified by what he saw.

"Only a Golden Core cultivator would be insane enough to attempt to sever their own soul!"

Yun Che reached out and caught Lin Zhao, who had lost consciousness due to the separation of her soul.

Just as Granny Honghu was about to control how much Lin Zhao's soul was divided, she met Yun Che's gaze.

At this moment, the two faced each other directly, without concealing their auras, and immediately understood each other's identities.

"Your Highness Tianfeng?" Granny Honghu was shocked and was about to bow.

Yun Che waved his hand: "Are you going to let this child run wild?"

Grandma Honghu looked at the girl lying on the ground and smiled bitterly: "This child, even if I tried to stop her, she would still go down this path."

After Lin Zhao learned that her rebirth and her Phoenix Luck were intentionally aided by the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Phoenix Plane, given her personality, she could not allow this plane to perish.

"Moreover..." Granny Honghu said, "She can do it. If she can't, no one in this world can."

Yun Che was taken aback, then looked at the point of light.

The previously flickering light spots were now completely clear, and although their bodies had not grown, they had finally stabilized.

With the help of Granny Honghu, the girl who had fallen to the ground regained most of her spirit.

At the same time, a soft golden light emanated from her spine, repairing her damaged soul and slowly bringing her consciousness back.

"This is..." Yun Che almost dissected the person to examine him after seeing this scene.

"The soul can continue on its own." Granny Honghu said, "As expected, the Ancestral Phoenix will not abandon her disciple."

She actually intended for Lin Zhao to do this, and there was indeed an element of gambling involved. Of course, if it didn't work, she also had ways to save Lin Zhao.

The ability to sustain one's soul is almost akin to resurrection, and only a creator god like the Ancestral Phoenix possesses such residual supernatural power. However, not just anyone can gain the Ancestral Phoenix's approval.

If Lin Zhao hadn't severed her own soul to save the Heavenly Phoenix Source Pivot, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword wouldn't have been able to unleash this miracle.

Yun Che looked at Lin Zhao with complicated emotions, then he looked at Grandma Honghu.

"Do you know what this means?"

"Your Highness understands this better than I do. I beg Your Highness to cover up for my disciple."

He was destined to die in the game; his past was there to set up the later plot, not to whitewash him or anything.
