Chapter 294 Baptism of Wind and Rain, Royal Bloodline
After his injuries had fully healed and the evil thoughts from the other world had been completely refined, Lin Zhao sensed his cultivation level and said, "It's completely stable at the mid-stage of the Heartbeat Realm, approximately... 45,000 Dao Spirit Streams?"

Forty-five thousand Dao is almost the spiritual energy foundation of some top-tier talents at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage, and yet his own hazy nine-layered Divine Palace had reached that foundation in the middle stage.

As Lin Zhao broke through to the mid-stage, he discovered that the bottom three layers of his nine-layered divine palace also lit up. The lit divine palace was faintly surrounded by purple phoenixes, accompanied by the sounds of phoenixes singing and crying.

Lin Zhao looked at the lit-up third floor, and with a thought, seeing that there was still some time left, he sat cross-legged on the spot and began to circulate the Phoenix Vein Technique to continuously stabilize and improve his cultivation.

As time ticked by, and the time Lin Zhao had calculated passed within the secret realm, Lin Zhao's fourth-level divine palace slowly lit up.

"Although I'm still in the mid-stage of the Heartbeat Realm, my spiritual energy foundation already has 47,000 strands." Lin Zhao felt somewhat gratified as he sensed his spiritual energy cultivation.

If she previously needed the help of talismans and spiritual skills to fight against opponents with superior talent at the peak of the Heartbeat stage, now she can try to go toe-to-toe with them.

Even so, compared to Cao Yunxuan and Yang Jingjing, who are among the best in the Heartbeat Stage, he, at the mid-stage of the Heartbeat Stage, is far from being a match, let alone compared to the geniuses at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage in the Upper Realm.

As Lin Zhao left the secret realm, she saw the young man not far away and waved to Su Bai.

Su Bai's figure blurred, and he was in front of her: "Sister Zhao Zhao's cultivation level..."

Lin Zhao stretched and met Su Bai's astonishment, then smiled and said, "It's considered stable now."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Su Bai's face a few more times.

It has to be said that as Su Bai gets older, his face becomes more and more outstanding, possessing a captivating charm that makes it impossible to look away.

That's why he can be called the ancestor of demons.

"To describe Xiao Bai's face as attracting bees and butterflies would be an understatement," Lin Zhao remarked.

Su Bai paused slightly as he followed Lin Zhao's steps, then his narrow eyes narrowed slightly. "Sister Zhao Zhao dislikes me?"

As Lin Zhao hurried forward, she said, "How could that be? Everyone loves beauty, and I'm no exception."

Su Bai pondered the meaning of those words, and his eyes crinkled into a smile.

"I don't care whether it's the truth or a lie, I take everything Sister Zhaozhao says as the truth."

Lin Zhao didn't hear what he said because her attention was entirely focused on the spectacular sight created by the wind and rain tree not far away.

The wind and rain tree was surrounded by a curtain formed by wind and rain. The slanting wind and drizzle contained abundant spiritual energy, and some precious spiritual objects could be faintly seen emerging from it.

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up.

"The storm has begun."

Then she turned around, pulled Su Bai aside, summoned her bone sword, and flew straight towards that direction.

After distributing the Demon Essence Pills to Fengying and the other demon beasts, Lin Zhao and the others sat cross-legged in the wind and rain curtain created by the Wind and Rain Tree.

Waiting for the curtain of wind and rain to form into a storm tide.

The Wind and Rain Tree didn't keep them waiting long; soon the wind and rain curtain transformed into countless swords and blades that attacked the group.

"The baptism of wind and rain..." Su Bai said, "It seems that the wind and rain tide will reward us accordingly based on our performance during the baptism of wind and rain."

"Doesn't this mean that the higher one's cultivation level, the longer one can last?" Lin Zhao frowned.

If that's the case, it would be extremely disadvantageous for her.

Su Bai shook his head: "Of course not. The trials and tribulations are actually a test of character and talent."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao felt somewhat at ease.

After she and Su Bai sat down cross-legged, they found there was still an empty seat. With Feng Ying's permission, they pressed Jin Ya down to sit next to them.

Although she is currently in the integration phase, the benefits of this storm for her are obvious.

All ten seats are already filled. What they can gain after weathering the storm depends on their own fate. Lin Zhao felt the bone-chilling cold, thought for a moment, and then directly summoned the Golden Crow Divine Fire and Phoenix Luck, enveloping himself, and quietly circulated the Phoenix Vein Technique.

With these measures in place, the chill completely disappeared.

The others also managed to withstand the first layer of cold through their own abilities.

Then, the wind and rain intensified the chill.

Lin Zhao could sense that it was divided into several stages. When it reached the fifth stage, Feng Ying's three brothers could no longer withstand it and took a step back.

The baptism of wind and rain on them ceased, and then three beams of spiritual light enveloped them. Sitting within this light, everyone could feel their cultivation levels rapidly increasing.

"It seems that by passing the fifth level of baptism, one can receive spiritual energy to increase one's cultivation level."

Lin Zhao watched this scene and realized that the spiritual light surrounding the area was equivalent to the spiritual energy provided by the Heavenly Phoenix Source's source vein.

Of course, the spiritual energy within the source vein is far more abundant than that enveloped by spiritual light, but the benefits to a cultivator's improvement are the same.

Feng Ying was clearly stronger than the other three, but he only lasted until the sixth stage of the baptism. In addition to being stronger from the spiritual light initiation, he also obtained a Wind and Rain Fruit.

By the seventh stage, Zhang Yunhe and Cao Yunxuan had reached their limit and had to withdraw. What they received were three Wind and Rain Fruits, some strange treasures, and an even stronger spiritual infusion.

Seeing this, the demon beasts, including Fengying, were somewhat envious. They also understood that these human cultivators were obviously much more talented than them, which was why they were able to persevere through the trials and tribulations.

The wind barrier surrounding Yang Jingjing slowly shattered under the baptism of the eighth stage, signifying that she had stopped at the eighth stage.

The spiritual empowerment she received was not only the strongest, but also included the five rare and precious Wind and Rain Fruits. Furthermore, a phantom image of a divine beast appeared before her eyes.

"Is that the prototype of the Great Wind Bird?"

“The purity of her bloodline has increased,” Su Bai said. “Her potential has been raised.”

Seeing this, Lin Zhao was filled with envy.

Obviously, the benefit of increased bloodline purity applies to people like Yang Jingjing, whose bloodline is already quite good.

As for herself... Lin Zhao was quite open-minded. She had already survived the first eight stages, and even if she didn't have anything special about her bloodline, her gains should be about the same as Yang Jingjing's.

As the chill of the ninth stage descended, Lin Zhao felt as if his entire body was enveloped in an ice cave, and even the Golden Crow Divine Fire was covered with a thin layer of ice.
Yes, this chill can actually freeze the divine fire.

Lin Zhao understood that this wasn't a problem with the Golden Crow Divine Fire, but rather that his aptitude was only capable of reaching this level.

She also understood that without the Blue Fly's inheritance, she might also have stopped at the eighth stage.

She knew the reason very well.

“The Phoenix's destiny is incomplete.” Lin Zhao sighed, her desire to defeat Ji Wantang growing ever stronger.

That six-tenths of her destiny made her an incomplete individual; no matter how hard she tried later in life, her innate deficiency was undeniable.

If this inherent difference is forced, it may backfire.

Jin Ya had already exited, clearly having stopped at the ninth stage. While receiving spiritual enlightenment, not to mention rare treasures, what appeared before her was not the phantom of the Golden Crow, but a scroll, presumably designed for Jin Ya.

Lin Zhao did not force himself. He formed a hand seal, intending to stop at the ninth stage.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jingjing, who was receiving spiritual enlightenment, suddenly opened her eyes and shot a beam of red light towards Lin Zhao.

The red light entered Lin Zhao's body, and her Phoenix Luck uncontrollably left her body, letting out a long howl and surrounding Lin Zhao, actually automatically helping Lin Zhao resist the layers of cold.

"The royal blood of the Great Wind Clan. This little girl..." Grandma Honghu's shocked voice echoed in Lin Zhao's mind.

Lin Zhao also looked at Yang Jingjing, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Yang Jingjing responded coldly to her surprise, "Keep going. I'm not helping you for nothing. You must defeat Ji Wantang in two years."
