Chapter 285 The Five Dimensional Leaders
As Ji Wantang's capable assistant, Wenwu had never seen anyone dare to provoke Ji Wantang like this before. Her deep-rooted fear and trust in Ji Wantang made her burst into laughter.

"I thought Ji Wantang was such a ruthless character! Turns out you're just as arrogant as her. Don't you know that all the geniuses of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent become stepping stones for Ji Wantang? You'll be the same, Lin Zhao. I'm down there, waiting for you!"

Lin Zhao was too lazy to talk to her anymore. After sensing the location of the other two people with the jade disc given to him by the sect, he picked up the half-dead Wenwu and threw her into the path of the two people.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Zhao wiped his hands before truly beginning to observe the surrounding environment.

Her current location is no different from the forest where she entered the secret realm.

The ancient forest is deep and mysterious.

Jin Ya jumped on her shoulder: "Go to the East, there is a strong concentration of both thunder and fire elements there."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao mounted his sword and headed east.

Clearly, they weren't the only ones who realized the abundance of the two Eastern elements; on her way there, Lin Zhao encountered many cultivators whose auras posed a great threat to her.

She flew slowly on her sword, swaying leisurely to the other side. When she landed, she saw the furrowed brows of the people around her.

"Does anyone have any solutions to this Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Formation?"

Lin Zhao concealed himself in the crowd and saw five people standing at the front of the crowd, closest to the densest elemental energy. There were four men and one woman, one of whom looked particularly familiar.

Lin Zhao lowered her eyes and did not go up to acknowledge Su Bai immediately.

She subconsciously probed Su Bai's current cultivation level, and the answer was blank; she was no longer able to probe Su Bai's cultivation level.

How did this kid's cultivation level surpass mine in such a short time?

As expected of the juvenile form of the Demon Ancestor, it's truly formidable.

Grandma Honghu helplessly reminded him, "He is also in the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm, but he has some special methods to conceal his true cultivation level. It cannot be detected without the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm."

Knowing Su Bai's true cultivation level surprised Lin Zhao even more than guessing that he was at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage.

If she wasn't mistaken, the four people besides Su Bai were the top Heartbeat Stage experts from various top-tier planes. Each of them was a master of the Heartbeat Stage in the lower realms, and their cultivation was at least at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage. It was surprising that Su Bai, who was only at the early stage of the Heartbeat Stage, could have a place among them.

"What an alarming rate of growth." After mentally labeling Su Bai as a prodigy, Lin Zhao began to observe the others around him.

Upon arriving, the people automatically found teammates and stood together. Their team was quite interesting; basically, the formed squads spontaneously stood behind these five people.

Lin Zhao understood; this "choosing sides" was simply them indicating which person they were siding with.

Lin Zhao didn't think for long before joining the line behind Su Bai. There weren't many cultivators standing behind Su Bai; most of them were demons.

As for why Lin Zhao was able to recognize them as demons, it's because these demons were only at the Heartbeat stage of cultivation, unable to conceal all their demonic energy. Their transformation wasn't particularly successful, and they still retained some characteristics of their original forms. For example, the fluffy little cat demon in front of him—if her cultivation hadn't been above his, Lin Zhao would have really wanted to rub the little girl's fluffy cat ears and tail.

"You're not a demon, are you?" The little cat demon turned around and greeted Lin Zhao first: "Do you also admire our Emperor?"

Lin Zhao: "Whom do you admire?"

"There's His Majesty Su." The little cat demon pointed to Su Bai, who was not far away.

Lin Zhao took a breath: "It wasn't me, I didn't do it, don't talk nonsense."

The other demon races seemed to share the same understanding of Lin Zhao's joining as the little cat demon, and were not particularly resistant to her.

After all, being good-looking is a big advantage among demons.

However, the group behind the other four couldn't stand seeing human cultivators siding with the demon race like this. "A pretty boy in the early stages of the Heartbeat Realm can only seduce one demoness in the early stages of the Heartbeat Realm."

Lin Zhao looked over in the direction of those words and met the disdainful gaze of a beautiful female cultivator.

Lin Zhao smiled slightly, turned around and started chatting with the little cat demon, ignoring her. The woman was about to say something more when her companion pulled her back.

This minor incident did not affect the five people who were discussing how to break the formation. Su Bai was the first to speak: "This Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Formation should have been a defensive formation at the True Immortal level. However, after years of erosion, its power has been reduced to almost nothing. Now it can only be considered a flawed seventh-level formation. If any of us are seventh-level spirit talisman masters, we can break it."

Among the five, Yang Jingjing, a prodigy from the Ancestral Phoenix Continent at the Heartbeat Stage, and the only woman among them, spoke up: "Your Majesty's words are laughable. The highest cultivation level among us is only at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage. How did we become a Level 7 Spirit Talisman Master?"

Su Bai glanced at her with a half-smile, his gaze seemingly mocking. Yang Jingjing noticed this and her eyes narrowed. The young man beside her quickly advised, "His Majesty only gave a suggestion; he didn't say that anyone in the Heartbeat stage could reach the seventh level of Spirit Talisman Master."

Yang Jingjing pulled her hand away from the young man's grasp and snorted coldly. However, since this was the territory of the demon race, she didn't want to have too much of a conflict with this newly emerged demon ruler, so she kept quiet.

Seeing that Yang Jingjing didn't confront Su Bai, the other two looked at Su Bai with even more caution.

It should be noted that the Ancestral Phoenix Continent is one of the strongest among the five top-tier planes in the lower realm, and Yang Jingjing can be considered the first or second strongest fighter among these five, with a very unruly personality.

In the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, Ji Wantang is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation, but below Ji Wantang, there are several other leading figures of the younger generation.

Yang Jingjing is one of the more outstanding members of this group.

The power behind her is Lingtian Pavilion, one of the few that can rival the Bright Hall behind Ji Wantang. Unlike Ji Wantang, who was recruited halfway through, Yang Jingjing's grandfather is the Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion.

Everyone understands that if Yang Jingjing can break through to the Nascent Soul stage using the Greedy Wolf Secret Realm, then she will become the young master of Lingtian Pavilion.

"If there are no level seven spirit talisman masters, then if three level six spirit talisman masters cooperate, and with the help of five Heartbeat Stage Great Perfection cultivators joining forces for one strike, we might be able to break the formation."

Yang Jingjing frowned.

Her cultivation level was quite good, but because she focused on cultivation, she didn't pay any attention to her secondary skill of weapon crafting. She turned to look at her team: "Has anyone reached the sixth level of spirit talisman master?"

There was silence on the other end.

Most people here are like Yang Jingjing; they already have such strong cultivation talent and a solid foundation, so who would care much about the path of secondary cultivation?
They only start paying attention to the path of supplementary cultivation when their cultivation level reaches a point where they can no longer advance and they need to temper their mind.

Yang Jingjing's face darkened as she looked at the other three.

Cao Yunxuan's side on the Ancestral Dragon Continent didn't have any either.

Zhang Yunhe from the Nuwa world also shrugged.

Fortunately, Feng Xiao himself was a level six spirit talisman master on the Ancestral Spirit Continent.

"After all that effort, we only managed to gather one. It seems we're not going to be able to take down this Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Formation." Zhang Yunhe pouted, looking rather displeased.

The Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Formation is a formation established by the ancient demon ancestor, and there may be some great opportunities left inside.

It's not a pleasant feeling to have such a treasure right in front of you but not be able to touch it.

Su Bai said, "I am also a level six spirit talisman master."

Upon hearing this, the way the other four looked at him finally changed significantly.

If people respected him before because of his status, now it's because of Su Bai's own strength.

A level six spirit talisman master is enough to be on equal footing with them.
