Chapter 241 Ten Whirlpools
With a flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword caused the sword energy that Lin Zhao had been deliberately suppressing to spread outwards from the bone sword.

A thousand flowers bloom.

One purple lotus flower after another surrounded Lin Zhao, but it was too slow. Qian Miao's sword light had already taken shape, trapping Lin Zhao tightly. Before the purple lotus flowers could bloom, the Dao light cut Lin Zhao's soul into pieces.

When the Zhao family saw this scene, their faces turned pale. However, only Qian Miao did not show any ease or pride. Instead, she stared at Lin Zhao's shattered soul.

After the blade cut Lin Zhao, it was struck by the fully blooming purple lotus. The sword light and the lotus canceled each other out, emitting a dazzling white light.

The light was too dazzling, and it combined two top-tier fusion stage techniques. Even Qian Miao dared not brace herself to look at the situation inside.

"It looks like it's raining?"

Someone said something, and Qian Miao looked up. After seeing the so-called rain, her eyes sharpened. She gripped the white bone scimitar and rushed towards the center of the white light. No longer caring about the impact the white light might have on her, Qian Miao poured all her spiritual energy into the red scimitar and, sensing a direction, slashed down in that direction.

Her response was a crisp sound of weapons clashing.

As the white light faded, Lin Zhao, whose soul and body were intact, stood in place, holding a sword in one hand. Ten spiritual energy vortexes around him appeared and disappeared. The last spiritual energy vortex was obviously much smaller than the other nine, but the sense of danger it gave off was no less.

Qian Miao remained unfazed, changed his stance with his sword, and charged towards Lin Zhao with extreme speed.

Traditional swordsmanship emphasizes power, but Qianmiao, who uses bone to create a sword, pursues speed instead. The long sword cuts through the light, and the solemn expressions of the two people are reflected on the white blade.

Lin Zhao retaliated with her sword, pushing the close-combat aspect of the Thousand Spirits Sword Technique to its limit. With the enhancement of ten spiritual energy vortexes, Lin Zhao's spiritual energy foundation was now comparable to Qian Miao's. She blocked Qian Miao's final blade strike with her sword and said, "It's over."

Qian Miao's pupils contracted, and in the next moment, Lin Zhao's ten spiritual energy vortexes transformed into ten divine beasts with different expressions: a swan, a blue phoenix, a golden crow, a thunderbird...

These divine birds flapped their wings and cried out, their sharp edge pointing straight to the vast ocean.

Qian Miao tried to block with her sword, but after unleashing ten vortexes of spiritual energy, she could only be sent flying by Lin Zhao's attack.

Her spiritual energy reserves had already been largely depleted by her previous spiritual techniques, and were insufficient to support Lin Zhao's energy reserves after his breakthrough.

Qianmiao, who had just landed on the ground, was immediately struck into the Blood God Sacrifice buff state due to insufficient spiritual energy.

Watching the girl stand up from the ground and dust off non-existent ash, Lin Zhao sheathed the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and said, "Thank you for your kind offer."

Qian Miao was somewhat unwilling, but feeling that Lin Zhao had broken through and he could no longer pose a threat to her, he could only ask, "Was your soul cut into pieces a kind of illusionary spirit technique?"

Lin Zhao shook his head: "No, it's the ability granted by my golden core. Your spiritual technique didn't really hurt me enough, so I used my sword energy to help a bit. Fortunately, I can still control it."

Qian Miao looked at her with a complicated expression: "So your soul really did shatter back then?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "Actually, if you attacked me the moment my soul shattered, I wouldn't be able to retaliate, and I might actually be forced back into my original form."

Qian Miao sighed. When Zhao Ling'er's soul shattered, wasn't it also the vacuum period that Qian Miao was in after releasing his spiritual skills?

If I had gone in without knowing what was going on, and the other party had actually used an illusion-type spiritual technique, wouldn't I have been walking into the lion's den?

"Forget it, I was outmatched this time. You can stay in District 14. But I see your aura is floating, similar to mine. You should be about to enter the Heartbeat Stage. I have to remind you, the Heartbeat Stage Soul Zone is home to Lu Xiuya's older brother, the young master of the Lu family. His talent far surpasses Lu Xiuya's."

Lin Zhao offended Lu Xiuya in the Fusion Stage. Neither of the Lu brothers are magnanimous. Lin Zhao has just entered the Heartbeat Stage. If he goes to the Divine Soul Realm, he will inevitably be made difficult by them.

Lin Zhao nodded, "Thank you." Qian Miao glanced at the Zhao family members watching her and Lin Zhao, and clicked her tongue, "The Zhao family really has some luck. Never mind, I'm leaving, goodbye!"

Qianmiao's departure did not quell the turmoil in District 14, because the rankings of the top talents in the Upper Realm Integration Period activity area were announced immediately after Qianmiao's departure.

Zhao Ling'er, who was in ninth place, rose to third place, while Qian Miao, who was in third place, dropped to fourth place.

With this ranking, Lu Xiuya also dropped to tenth place.

After learning the news, Lin Zhao asked, "What are the benefits of being on this list?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao shook her head, and Lin Zhao turned her head away, not very interested, and asked where the best place to cultivate was.

This made Zhao Xiaoxiao both amused and exasperated: "Although there are no practical benefits, there is an unwritten rule in the Divine Soul World: if a region has the top ten on the Prodigy Ranking, then other cultivators cannot invade that region unless they defeat the other region."

Lin Zhao rested his chin on his hand: "This rule is really domineering. Doesn't that mean the number one genius on the Prodigy Ranking can go wherever he wants?"

Zhao Zhan said helplessly, "Although that's the rule, even the number one on the Prodigy Ranking in the Fusion Stage is still just in the Fusion Stage. How could they dare to offend someone with a powerful background in the Top-Tier Region?"

Lin Zhao glanced at the brother and sister and understood.

This rule is for families whose ancestors were wealthy but are now struggling financially, right? Like the Zhao family.

"You guys are really unlucky," Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Aunt Ling'er, what did you say?"

Lin Zhao realized he had spoken his mind, so he quickly covered his mouth, thought for a moment, and then waved his hand: "Where here is suitable for cultivating the soul?"

Zhao Zhan and his sister, without any suspicion, led Lin Zhao to the best training platform in District 14.

Once Lin Zhao reached this position, he thanked the brother and sister, told them to hurry up and do their own things, and then set up an array around himself and began to cultivate.

The feeling of cultivating in the spiritual world is completely different from that in the real world. The perception of the spiritual soul is more sensitive and has a wider range. Perhaps it is also because she is currently active in the upper realm. Lin Zhao felt that the growth rate of the spiritual energy vortex she had newly condensed was hundreds of times that in the real world.

One day of training here is equivalent to hundreds of days in the secret realm.

Now that she has just completed her breakthrough, what she needs to strengthen is her spiritual foundation and continuously stabilize the somewhat unstable aura she experienced after her Nirvana.

Lin Zhao sat cross-legged, his soul absorbing the spiritual energy of District 14 at an alarming speed.

Soon, this scene caught the attention of the Zhao family in District 14.

To their astonishment, Lin Zhao's tenth spiritual energy vortex gradually solidified and grew larger at an incredible speed.

However, Lin Zhao kept her eyes closed the whole time, as if she was completely unaware of the changes.

Clearly, Lin Zhao had entered a profound meditative state.

In this meditative state, the cultivator's cultivation technique operates on its own, spiritual energy returns to the body, and the mind is free from distractions.

This state is something that almost all cultivators can only hope to encounter but not seek out.
