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

Chapter 208 The Two Guards
Grandma Honghu noticed Lin Zhao's thoughts and sighed, "Little girl, too much intelligence can be harmful. It's not too late for you to give up cooperating with him now."

Lin Zhao asked, "Master, do you also know the cause of the blue duck's death?"

"Back then, as a protector under the Ancestral Phoenix, I watched her die in front of me, powerless to stop her. I watched that little girl drag the monster formed from evil thoughts from another world to her death here."

Although Lin Zhao had long suspected the identity of her master, she was still shocked when she heard Granny Honghu admit it for the first time.

Grandma Honghu sighed heavily: "I was planning to wait until you defeated Ji Wantang before telling you, because although you have already confronted the evil thoughts of the other world, you still don't fully understand how terrifying they are."

"The lower-level ones among them use the system's identity to indirectly control visitors from other worlds and invade the cultivation world. The higher-level evil thoughts from other worlds, once they have plundered enough fortune and power, can take physical form. And once they take physical form, their strength is comparable to that of a true immortal."

"Even worse, as I told you before, they can forcibly control the carrier, regardless of whether the carrier lives or dies."

Lin Zhao's breath hitched as he thought of the system he had kept sealed away: "So what we've captured, if left to develop unchecked, might also materialize?"

Grandma Honghu gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, once they take physical form or become a control vessel, the stronger they become, the greater the threat they pose to the cultivation world. Just as the demons crave human flesh and blood, these otherworldly evil thoughts have a desire to plunder all the energy of the cultivation world."

As she spoke, she turned to herself: "My name is Feng Xiao. I was once one of the five great protectors under the Ancestral Phoenix. Back then, I should have been called Bai Huang Feng Xiao."

"Did the teacher also perish because of evil thoughts from another world?"

Grandma Honghu, or rather Feng Xiao's voice, became somewhat dejected: "If I could die with my lord, wouldn't that be an honor? But my fall is not glorious, but related to the younger generation of the Honghu clan. At that time, I never thought that evil thoughts from another world could control the True Phoenix Seed."

Lin Zhao roughly guessed what was going on: "Teacher, I will avenge you and restore the status of the White Phoenix Clan."

Feng Xiao gave a wry smile: "Sometimes I'm a little afraid of your brain, little girl. Now you understand why this secret realm exists."

As he spoke, Feng Xiao scoffed at Yun Zhong's earlier words: "Outsiders think that it was Lord Zuhuang who buried Lan Fu here, but in fact, the little girl chose to perish herself."

"That little girl was still young. Her choice to perish together with him did not truly eliminate the evil thoughts from the other world. Instead, the evil thoughts from the other world found an opportunity to devour all the living beings here, turning the surrounding land into a barren wasteland and severing the connection between the Ancestral Phoenix and this place. He also took this opportunity to entangle his will with this land."

"In order to curb the ambitions of the evil thoughts from another world, Lan Fu abandoned his dead physical body and fought in his divine soul form, using his core power to suppress the further persecution of the land by the evil thoughts from another world."

"But the evil thoughts from another world still exist, and she does not have the energy to completely eliminate them. She can only wear down the power of the evil thoughts from another world through long-term suppression. In order to completely eliminate these evil thoughts from another world, she deduced for a hundred years and decided to leave behind a legacy."

"To this end, she transformed her body into a secret realm, hiding her legacy in the divine soul world that evil thoughts from another world could not enter, waiting for future generations to find it."

"The three rains that fall on this land every three years are actually meant to dispel the aura of evil thoughts from other worlds, preventing them from helping it escape. Of course, this rain also serves as a passage to open the secret realm."

“If this kid wants Lan Fu’s inheritance, then he has to confront that otherworldly evil thought that once killed Lan Fu. Little girl, if you help him, it means you will also have to confront that otherworldly evil thought.”

Hearing this, Lin Zhao understood how brutal the battle back then had been; even the daughter of the Ancestral Phoenix had to die for the war to end.

She couldn't help but grit her teeth: "Traitor, how despicable."

Grandma Honghu sighed, "The strongest evil from other worlds is never their strength, but their methods of instigating people's hearts."

Even a True Phoenix could be controlled by it if its Dao heart was not firm, which shows how terrifying it is.

Lin Zhao sneered, "Since you're so powerful, I definitely have to test my skills against you."

From the time her Phoenix Fortune was stolen, to her later journey to the Thunder Palace where she learned of Su Bai's extraordinary abilities and her advancement to the Golden Core stage, and now...

She and the evil thoughts from another world have long been mortal enemies.

"How long can an evil thought from another world, which has been suppressed for countless millennia, keep jumping around under the deterrent power of Lan Fu's inheritance?" However, as he spoke, Lin Zhao's expression became somewhat strange, and he asked, "Master, did the master of Xiaobai Thunder Palace also fight alongside Ancestral Phoenix?"

"More or less. He was born a little later than me and is also one of the Ancestral Phoenix Protectors."

"After the fall of the Ancestral Phoenix, we watched as the Heavenly Phoenix Clan gradually declined, and we True Phoenixes were constantly marginalized by the Upper Realm. However, ten thousand years ago, before the Honghu's rank was lowered, both he and I were in the Upper Realm. It wasn't until the Honghu's rank was lowered that the Honghu Clan was forced to come to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent. It was at this time that I was ambushed and had to keep my remnant soul in a scroll. By chance, I came to the Heavenly Phoenix Continent. You have seen what happened after that."

Having witnessed the illustrious power of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan during the reign of the Ancestral Phoenix, the subsequent decline and fall of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan caused these two elders great distress.

If the children of the Ancestral Phoenix were still alive, or if the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had produced another figure like the Ancestral Phoenix, how could things have come to this?
Ironically, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan all complained that the Ancestral Phoenix did not leave its core power to its offspring, relying solely on the strength of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline and never considering striving for self-improvement.

"This is also one of the reasons why I've been so focused on training you. Besides wanting you to help me revive, I also want you to help me restore the glory of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Don't rush to refuse me. Now you have the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, my swan spirit, Fang Dai's thunderbird spirit, and the Azure Luan spirit accompanying you. If you can't do it, then probably no one in this world can."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao understood: "So that's what Master Xiaobai meant back then."

"Of course, this is mainly my personal opinion. You still have the Ancestral Dragon Soul Essence, so you can choose other paths. With your aptitude, whatever you choose will lead to a bright future, and I will spare no effort to nurture you."

Lin Zhao laughed heartily: "What are you saying, teacher! I will definitely fight against the evil thoughts of the other world to the end. Since I have received the gift from heaven, I should use my power to turn the tide. I don't know anything about the Phoenix Clan, but if you want them to become stronger, I will give it a try."

After saying that, Lin Zhaochao asked Yun Zhong, "You can enter the Divine Soul World, but how can I enter?"

Although Yun Chong didn't know why Lin Zhao had been silent for so long, he wasn't embarrassed by Lin Zhao's quick agreement.

"Your Phoenix Luck is the best stepping stone. My soul will guide you, but whether you can get in or not depends on yourself."

Lin Zhao nodded. "Let's set up a protective formation around us and begin."

Yun Chong and Lin Zhao split into two groups. Lin Zhao set up the formation, while Yun Chong formed hand seals. After Lin Zhao finished setting up the formation, Yun Chong also prepared the spiritual seal to guide Lin Zhao's soul.

Following his instructions, Lin Zhao sat down cross-legged and slowly released his divine soul.

Seeing Lin Zhao release her divine soul to follow him without hesitation, Yun Zhong was somewhat surprised by Lin Zhao's trust in him.

Although in reality, Lin Zhao was not afraid of him doing anything bad because she had Granny Honghu in charge.

However, Lin Zhao's reaction clearly pleased Yun Zhong: "Follow along."

Lin Zhao felt as if his soul had taken on a physical form. Following a faint white light ahead, and using the cover of his soul's light, he passed through the waterfall and arrived at a dilapidated gate.

"A newcomer?" Two little girls with pigtails by the gate looked at the two of them, glancing at Yun Chong first. "Just a remnant soul, looks like a clone. How boring."

As they spoke, their gazes fell upon Lin Zhao, their eyes shining with the light of seeing a rare species.

"How strange!" The girl in red appeared in front of Lin Zhao in the blink of an eye.

"The Ancient Phoenix's Fortune is so stable, and it's been used to its fullest potential?" The girl in green smiled and circled around Lin Zhao.

"I think I've smelled the scent of phoenix luck on her before."

"It's that crazy woman who single-handedly shattered the souls of three thousand gods in the upper realm! Her name is Ji Wantang!"

I'm about to see Ji Wantang. Although it won't be her true form.
