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

Chapter 204 Yun Zhong
Grandma Honghu floated out as Lin Zhao gazed at the increasingly profound man in black.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?"

Lin Zhao sighed, "Perhaps it's because I'm a beginner in alchemy and my skills are not yet proficient, but Master, why can't I sense the normal meridian pathways of a cultivator in this person?"

I can't even feel the normal meridian pathways. How did this person reach the Integration Stage?

She also specifically checked and wasn't a demon.

Grandma Honghu merely glanced at the man before releasing her divine sense to probe him. After withdrawing her divine sense, she had already made her judgment.

“This is an avatar,” Granny Honghu said. “The original body should be a divine beast. Given the overlap of these two factors, it’s normal that you can’t detect it.”

Lin Zhao stared wide-eyed at the sleeping youth before him: "You mean, he's a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he's just a clone? How strong must his true body be?"
Understanding Lin Zhao's unspoken meaning, Granny Honghu smiled and said, "Adult divine beasts are true immortals. However, true immortal level experts are now very rare in the lower realms."

Upon hearing a certain title, Lin Zhao was even more surprised and couldn't help but repeat, "The lower realm?"

Grandma Honghu nodded, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Well... since you already know that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Prince is engaged to you, then it's alright for you to know this."

"The five planes created by the Creator Gods on their own power, totaling twenty-five planes, can all be called the Lower Realm. Because the five Creator Gods once jointly created three planes, these three planes they jointly created are also called the Upper Realm. The minimum standard for cultivators from the Lower Realm to go to the Upper Realm is to be a True Immortal."

Lin Zhao's mouth dropped open.

Back on the Heavenly Phoenix Continent, she thought that the Integration Stage and Tribulation Stage among the three giants were probably the end for cultivators. When she arrived on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, she felt that there were True Immortals above the Tribulation Stage. Now she has learned that True Immortals are not uncommon in the Upper Realm.

Grandma Honghu continued, "That Qu Shu is a member of the royal family of the divine beast Tianfeng clan. Logically speaking, he should have grown up in the upper realm, but for some reason, he went to such a weak plane in the lower realm."

Upon hearing this information, Lin Zhao's expression immediately turned strange: "Then Master, how could his family not sense the marriage contract I have with him?"

Although this contract wasn't what he wanted, after learning about Qu Shu's identity and this information, Lin Zhao felt like a poor boy who had climbed up to a rich family's princess.

It's likely that she wasn't the only one with this idea. According to the two brothers, Qu Shu held a very high position in their family. So, in the eyes of Qu Shu's family, she was probably just a Chen Shimei who was trying to climb the social ladder.

Grandma Honghu noticed her thoughts and immediately comforted her: "Little girl, don't think of yourself like that. You don't have a husband who has shared your hardships, so how can you be considered a Chen Shimei?"

As soon as Grandma Honghu finished speaking, the little fox cried out.

The sound was so fitting. Lin Zhao subconsciously imagined Su Bai leading a bunch of little foxes to him, who had married into the Tianfeng Clan, crying and accusing him of neglecting his children after giving birth to them.

The scene she had been imagining was too beautiful, and Lin Zhao snapped out of her reverie, slapping him on the forehead: "Don't make any noise!"

What is she thinking?!

Lin Zhao pinched the bridge of her nose, stopping thinking about these things, and asked Granny Honghu, "So he can get better on his own without my help?"

"Not exactly. Although he only needs to wait to recover without treatment because it is an avatar, the severe injuries and seals he suffered still exist. His current avatar is indeed only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. Fortunately, the seal on his physical body is not that strong, and his physical body still seems to have the strength of a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator."

Lin Zhao said, "No wonder he was able to offer a celestial artifact as payment without batting an eye..."

At this point, Lin Zhao finally realized that something didn't make sense.

"His true form is a divine beast, so why would he compete with the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire for the dragon bone?"

"Most divine beasts reside in the Upper Realm, but some divine beasts, or subspecies of divine beasts, live in the Lower Realm, such as the peacock we saw earlier. For these divine beasts and subspecies, ancient dragon bones are also rare treasures. Moreover, even for divine beasts in the Upper Realm, ancient dragon bones are not easy to obtain. After all, the ancient dragon race is a dominant race in the Upper Realm."

Lin Zhao asked thoughtfully, "Teacher, how do you know so much about the Upper Realm?"

Grandma Honghu did not reply after hearing this.

Lin Zhao realized she had spoken out of turn, so she lowered her head and didn't ask any more questions.

Fortunately, the young man on the ground was sensible and woke up at this time. Lin Zhao quickly poured him a pot of water.

After all, this is a walking celestial artifact!

The young man had just opened his eyes when he met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

"Would you like some water?" the girl asked herself with a smile, her eyes seemingly filled with a sky full of sparkling stars.

Yun Chong rubbed his temples, took the water glass, and whispered a thank you.

Lin Zhao handed him the water bottle directly: "How are you feeling right now?"

“This isn’t good. I might have to stay with you for a while,” Yun Zhong said. “I remember you can conceal your aura, even from those in the Integration Stage.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao was stunned: "You were able to sense me back then?"

Lin Zhao regretted asking the question as soon as she did.

Although the opponent is at the Integration stage, it's just an avatar! It's not impossible for his main body's soul level to sense him!
"It's just a guess." Yun Chong lowered his eyes. "I hope you will take care of me until I recover to my peak condition. My name is Yun Chong."

They also share the surname Yun.

Lin Zhao frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.

The main issue is that I've been receiving a lot of information lately, but now I have the perfect opportunity to ask her the questions she's been wondering about.

"I heard Elder Mian mention the Spirit Phoenix Clan before. Is Immortal Yun a member of the Spirit Phoenix Clan?" Lin Zhao asked tentatively.

Yun Chong paused for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

His true form should be from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, but he was raised by the Spirit Phoenix Clan.

Lin Zhao continued, "The Thousand Spirits Sword Technique you used earlier... was it from the Spirit Phoenix Clan?"

Yun Zhong glanced at her strangely: "Of course not, it's the founding sword technique of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect. Most people on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent know this."

Lin Zhao: "..." Sorry, I'm really not from the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

However, upon hearing this, Lin Zhao roughly understood one thing: the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable was originally a member of the Spirit Phoenix Clan of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, and later joined the Cold Mountain Sword Sect.

After being defeated by a member of the Ice Phoenix Clan who possessed the Phoenix Luck, he went to the Heavenly Phoenix Continent and became an elder of the Myriad Swords Sect.

Very good, we now have a pretty good idea of ​​the other party's background. We'll have to be careful around the Spirit Phoenix Clan and the Cold Mountain Sword Sect from now on.

Thinking of how the other party used the Hanshan Sword Sect's founding sword technique to intercept the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire, Lin Zhao sighed, "You directly used the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique to attack Elder Mian. Isn't the Hanshan Sword Sect afraid of offending the royal family?"

Yun Chong shrugged: "The Cold Mountain Sword Sect was wiped out forty years ago."

Lin Zhao: "...I'm sorry."

Yun Chong twitched his lips, unconcerned: "What's there to apologize for? This sect is nothing more than a carnival for a bunch of stray dogs."

Describing his former sect in this way, Yun Chong looked at Lin Zhao: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Lin Zhao said, "Thank you, that's all. I only asked these questions because I was afraid the royal family of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire would quickly discover your identity and come looking for you. Since what the Immortal Venerable revealed is nothing to be afraid of, I'm relieved. But would you mind if I altered your appearance?"

Yun Zhong: "?"
