Chapter 23 Ancestral Phoenix Pass

In the endless practice, a night passed quietly.

The next morning, Lin Zhao opened her eyes and was shocked by the unpleasant smell around her. She looked down at the filth on her body and was somewhat surprised: "How could there be so many impurities in my body?"

Grandma said, "You've been lucky to have eaten anything good on Cloud Peak all these years, and you haven't been poisoned."

Lin Zhao touched his nose, nodded in agreement, opened the door and called to the maid outside: "Prepare for a bath."

The maid also smelled the extremely strange odor, nodded, and immediately began preparations.

While waiting to take a bath, Lin Zhao cast several cleansing spells on herself. Finally, she looked around the room and cast another cleansing spell on it, which finally made it impossible to smell those strange odors.

Lin Zhao then activated the Phoenix Vein Technique and discovered that he had already entered the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, he was not a newcomer to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. Upon closer inspection, he realized that he was already comparable to some cultivators who had been in the eighth level of Foundation Establishment for many years!

The effects of this Phoenix Ascension Pill are terrifying!
As Lin Zhao sighed, she took out the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword that she had won at the auction house, as her grandmother had instructed.

"Grandma, is this sword really usable?"

Although he had no doubt about his grandmother's judgment, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask a question as he looked at the rusty longsword that was constantly crumbling.

Grandma emerged from the ring, a thoughtful expression on her furry face. The deep look in her beady eyes made Lin Zhao realize that the bone sword before him held extraordinary significance for Grandma.

"To be honest, Grandma doesn't know if you can actually use it, but this sword absolutely cannot fall into the hands of traitors. It is the key to unlocking the Ancestral Phoenix Tomb."

"The Ancestral Phoenix's Tomb?!" Even with Lin Zhao's composure, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The ancient Celestial Phoenix was actually a race.

There is only one ancient celestial phoenix revered by the world—the progenitor celestial phoenix, also known as the ancestral phoenix, who is the ancestor of all ancient celestial phoenixes.

The Ancestral Phoenix was one of the five ancient gods. After its death, its body transformed into several planes, and this Heavenly Phoenix Continent was just one of the planes it created.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Phoenix Continent all thought that the Ancestral Phoenix had transformed into all things in several planes of the cultivation world, leaving no trace. They never expected that the Ancestral Phoenix, as mentioned by Granny, actually had a tomb.
Grandma sighed, "There are some things that are too early for you to get involved in with your current cultivation level. Let's see if you can gain the approval of the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword first."

Lin Zhao was also a little uneasy. Although she was blessed with the Phoenix's Destiny, she was still just a human, and the Bone Sword might not necessarily recognize her.

"Cut your palm, don't activate your Phoenix Luck. Whatever you see later, just do what your heart desires." Grandma's voice reached his ears, and Lin Zhao dripped blood onto the bone sword.

Grandma then unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, and as that energy flowed in, the bone sword trembled violently, emitting a dazzling golden light.

Upon seeing the light, Lin Zhao felt dizzy, and then her figure disappeared from her room.

……

Lin Zhao opened her eyes and found that her hands had been nailed through her bones and pinned to the steel plate behind her. She endured the pain and looked around.

Unexpectedly, they met a pair of dark phoenix eyes.

She was a young girl in a bright red dress, wearing a purple-gold phoenix crown. Her face was stunningly beautiful, and her temperament was domineering and majestic. She looked at Lin Zhao as if he were already in her grasp.

"The Blood Phoenix and the Ancient Phoenix, kings never meet. Now let me end this predetermined fate."

Lin Zhao looked at the girl's outstretched hand and a sudden surge of resentment welled up in his eyes.

"I hate this so-called fate the most. I've already been harmed by it once, how dare it scheme against me again? Ji Wantang, you want to devour me? Then I will devour you!"

She then used her spiritual energy to forcefully shatter the long nails binding her hands, pulled them out, and, ignoring the blood and pain, rushed towards the girl. The instant she plunged the nail into Ji Wantang's slender waist, the scenery around her subtly changed.

When she looked up again, she saw Chen Luoluo standing not far from Lin Zhao, dressed in a light yellow dress.

She covered her cherry lips, clearly surprised at why she was there, but upon seeing Lin Zhao and realizing no one was around, she revealed her true colors.

"Isn't this Sister Lin who was abandoned by Brother Shen on their wedding day? Tsk tsk tsk, what a disgrace." Chen Luoluo swayed her slender waist, lifted her skirt, and walked to Lin Zhao, who was sitting on the ground in a disheveled state, looking down at her.

When she realized that even though she was looking down at Lin Zhao, she still felt suppressed by him when they made eye contact, she instantly became furious and embarrassed.

That's the feeling. No matter how much he took away from this girl or how much he ruined her life, there was never any fear in her eyes. Instead, there was an arrogant disdain for him.

What's there to be proud of in a defeated opponent!
"Hmph! You think you can surpass me just by working hard all day? Dream on! Look at you on Cloud Peak, you toil like an ox and give everything, and all the best resources you get end up feeding me! So what if you work hard and are outstanding? Master and my fellow disciples appreciate my extraordinary and unique qualities. How can you, a corrupt old ox, compare to me?"

Lin Zhao listened to her incessant boasting, her beautiful eyes remaining calm and undisturbed, only her hands slowly clenching into fists.

Seeing her clenched fists, Chen Luoluo covered her mouth and chuckled mockingly, "You don't still want to hit me, do you? I'm at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment! How could you, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, be my match?"

At this moment, the two extremely intelligent people realized that they must have been sent here by some force. Although this place was an illusion, the people they saw were the real people they saw, and they also carried the real strength of each other.

So Chen Luoluo unleashed her jealousy and malice without restraint: "And let me tell you, I've already told Master that my spiritual root is unstable and I need you to stabilize it. Master is planning to capture you and cut off your spiritual root once you return to Cloud Peak. At that time, the last bit of Phoenix Luck in you will be mine, and Master will also destroy your damned family..."

Upon hearing her mention wanting to destroy the Lin family, Lin Zhao, who had remained silent until now, suddenly jumped up and punched her in the waist.

This punch caught Chen Luolu off guard, and she never expected that Lin Zhao had entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment in just a few days and had also cultivated a technique.

So after Lin Zhao punched her to the ground, she couldn't get up for a long time.

"You reached the Great Perfection level by relying on the resources fed to you by those useless people, but in reality, your strength is superficial and your spiritual root is weak." Lin Zhao stepped on Chen Luoluo's face as she tried to get up, his smile turning into a ferocious grin that couldn't contain his hatred.

"So you didn't dare to plunder my Phoenix Luck before you obtained my spiritual root, because you simply couldn't withstand it!"

Chen Luoluo's expression changed.

"Let me guess, even if you obtain my spiritual root, you still won't be able to withstand my Phoenix Luck, unless you can keep consuming my blood and take away my bones and my inner palace."

Looking at Chen Luoluo in front of him, Lin Zhao recalled the past and became more and more certain that the girl in front of him had also experienced a second chance, just like him.

In the beginning, where would Chen Luoluo have gotten the audacity to ask for her spiritual root in front of her?!

Even in the illusion, Chen Luoluo back then wouldn't dare.

Only at the very last moment, after seeing her spiritual root being cut out by the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable, did Chen Luoluo completely let go of her fear of her and adopt this attitude.

"I've always been curious about what kind of script this world has that allows trash like you to be the protagonist."

Lin Zhao bent down and grabbed Chen Luoluo by the neck.

Seeing the fear returning to Chen Luoluo's face, Lin Zhao suppressed his nausea and murderous intent, saying, "In your past life, you planned just as I said, didn't you? I never imagined I'd rather die than let you obtain the spiritual root. So you've come back this time? To try and seize it again?"

Chen Luoluo looked at her with a fearful expression, her mind constantly calling out to the system.

"System! What's wrong with this bitch?! Did she reincarnate?! How dare she be worthy of me?!"
