After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 131 The Three Venerables Meet
Lin Zhao said, "Now we can begin to break through the barrier of this formation."

Su Bai asked with some concern, "Sister, would you like to rest for a bit?"

He used to be proud of Lin Zhao's cultivation speed, not knowing how he cultivated. Now that he knows, he feels it's terrifying. It's as if he's not cultivating like a human being at all!

The hard work he put into his cultivation was nothing compared to Lin Zhao's.

He understood Lin Zhao's character more and more. From the moment he was taken in by Lin Zhao, he knew that this seemingly weak girl possessed an indomitable tenacity and persistence.

Lin Zhao shook his head: "There's no time for us to rest now. We don't know how long Ning Wengui can hold out outside. If he can't, then the Tianhuang Continent will have to rely on you, me, and the rest of the people who are still cultivating."

Although the Grand Competition ultimately comes down to the top geniuses, the fact that there aren't enough talented disciples of decent ability to compete before the top geniuses are a major headache.

Besides, those were their own people.

Su Bai didn't care much about the others. If it weren't for the Thunder Palace Master and Lin Zhao, he wouldn't even be interested in participating in this continental competition.

Of course, he never showed this coldness to Lin Zhao.

Hearing Lin Zhao's words, he nodded obediently: "Okay, let's begin now."

Azure flames rose and leaped in Lin Zhao's hand, while lightning erupted in Su Bai's hand. When the lightning and fire met, they soared into the sky, striking directly at the heavens of the realm where Lin Zhao cultivated.

The ground beneath their feet began to tremble. Before Su Bai could react, Lin Zhao had already grasped his hand.

As the tearing force came, Lin Zhao cast a fire shield to envelop her and Su Bai.

Su Bai subconsciously looked at the girl's profile.

Lin Zhao simply looked outside, her brows furrowed slightly, clearly worried about the situation outside.

Su Bai lowered his head, looked at their clasped hands, smiled slightly, and then gently returned the grip.

Lin Zhao's flame shield shattered suddenly under the greater tearing force, forcing Lin Zhao to grip Su Bai's hand tightly: "Xiao Bai, circulate your spiritual energy to protect your body!"

Su Bai snapped out of his daze and quickly circulated his spiritual energy to envelop the two of them.

The two felt dizzy and disoriented. When they regained their senses, they found themselves on a rocky outcrop.

Lin Zhao and Su Bai woke up almost at the same time. Su Bai subconsciously checked to see if Lin Zhao was injured, but Lin Zhao pressed him down and said, "I'm fine. How much strength do you have now? Contact Ning Wengui and see."

She was extremely dizzy, clearly her late-stage Golden Core body was still not strong enough to withstand the instantaneous spatial shift.

In the past, when I underwent spatial transformations, I was protected by powerful beings. Now, I have to go through it twice in a short period of time on my own, which is inevitably uncomfortable.

Although Su Bai was also feeling unwell, he was no ordinary person, and his physical abilities were even superior to Lin Zhao's, so he could still endure this discomfort.

"Let me try."

Lin Zhao popped a few pills to restore his spiritual energy into his mouth. After a while, he stood up and cast a cleansing spell on himself. He then asked Su Bai, "Have you made contact?"

Su Bai nodded: "It wasn't him who replied, it was Zhou Delong. Ning Wengui was captured by the people of the Vermilion Bird Continent while covering their escape."

Although he had expected it, Lin Zhao still sighed upon hearing the news: "I wonder how many people are on the Vermilion Bird Continent."

After a brief moment of worry, Lin Zhao said, "There's also the Water Source Crystal. I'm afraid all the powerful figures from the other four continents have gathered to find it. Does a single Water Source Crystal really have that much allure to attract alliances from all four continents?"

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao said, "Immediately use the Heavenly Mirror to contact the remaining people on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent."

She paused for a moment, then curled her lips into a wicked smile: "Besides the people from the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, let's also contact the people from other subcontinents. The Four-Way Alliance has encountered something good, and as the main continent, we should naturally help them share it." With Ning Wengui captured, their five main forces would inevitably lose one of their members. Now, including herself, the Heavenly Phoenix Continent only has four super-strong experts at the Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core level left, while the Four-Way Alliance still has a full eight Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core experts, and it's unknown whether all eight of them are at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.

If we can't guarantee that we'll take this mouthful of Tianhuang Continent, then let's stir up this mess thoroughly!

Su Bai instantly understood Lin Zhao's meaning and nodded in agreement. The two of them, as captains of the three giants, sent out their original locations on the Heavenly Mirror.

This news instantly attracted the attention of the entire Tianhuangyuan faction. The disciples who were originally fighting over some scraps of Tianhuangyuan source crystals immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to that location.

After a short rest, Lin Zhao and Su Bai headed towards Zhou Delong's location.

When the two of them arrived, the disciples from the three powerful forces who had been cultivating earlier also arrived.

When Zhou Delong saw Su Bai and Lin Zhao arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been living in fear these past few days, afraid that the alliance of the Four Continents would find out. With their current strength, they would only face certain death if they went against the alliance.

But with Su Bai and Lin Zhao, things are different.

At least they have some ability to protect themselves.

Zou Zihan stepped forward: "Captain, are you alright?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "I'm fine here, how are you guys?"

Before Zou Zihan could answer, Mingyue threw herself into Lin Zhao's arms: "I've entered the pseudo-Golden Core stage, sister!"

Lin Zhao gently rubbed the little girl's head, then looked up and met a pair of gentle silver eyes.

“Brother Qu Shu has also reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. His cultivation level is at least twenty spiritual streams, sister,” Mingyue said.

Lin Zhao was taken aback, then gave Qu Shu a thumbs up.

Zou Zihan laughed and said, "It seems that my position as vice captain is not going to be secure."

His tone was more one of relief than resentment.

He was happy to see these younger generations grow up, after all, they are the hope for the future of the South China Sea.

Su Ye said, "I've also reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, with my foundation in the twenty-three spiritual streams."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Delong couldn't help but glance at Qu Shu and Su Ye a few more times, then at Lin Zhao: "Your South China Sea Academy is truly producing a generation of outstanding talents."

Originally, the South China Sea Academy was on the verge of decline, but Lin Zhao not only turned the tide, but Qu Shu and Su Ye also stepped up to take its place.

Now that their Liangyi Palace captain is imprisoned, and he is the only one left with the Yuan Yang Hui Golden Core Great Perfection, they have become the weakest of the three powers. It's true that fortunes change.

“Our people have also made some progress,” said the deputy captain standing next to Su Bai.

The Liangyi Palace has certainly made progress, but no matter which power it is, the benefits it has gained cannot compare to those of the South China Sea Academy.

Zhou Delong understood why, and his gaze toward Lin Zhao became increasingly complicated.

At this moment, he truly understood why even a proud genius like Ning Wengui could be moved by Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao didn't notice Zhou Delong's complicated feelings. He only said to Su Bai and Zhou Delong, "Please take stock of your team's manpower. When the other forces arrive, we'll disguise ourselves and blend in to see what the four-way alliance is planning. One principle: whatever they want to do, we'll find a way to sabotage it."

The group exchanged glances and nodded.
