Chapter 308: Nascent Soul
Granny Honghu, having just exerted herself greatly, was somewhat exhausted: "Yes... but such situations are extremely rare. I never even considered his identity in that regard. Such beings are the perfect vessels for otherworldly evil thoughts. They possess half the bloodline of the cultivation world, so the cultivation world won't reject them at the dimensional level. However, they are still remnants of otherworldly evil thoughts, thus constantly plundering the resources of the cultivation world without being able to reciprocate. In a sense, such beings are even more terrifying. And their status within otherworldly evil thoughts is not low either."

This is also why Granny Honghu and Lin Zhao insisted on killing Shen Yuhan instead of leaving her alive to extract information.

Given Shen Yuhan's identity, it's impossible to guard against him if he has any hidden methods.

Lin Zhao sat on the ground and rested for a while before finally managing to string some things together.

Shen Yuhan's mother, who can be described as legendary, must have obtained the evil thoughts from another world to ascend rapidly and give birth to Shen Yuhan with those evil thoughts. She then used the evil thoughts to detect her and bind herself to Shen Yuhan.

Lin Zhao twitched his lips: "It seems that every system host can be omniscient and omnipotent in the planes they invade."

How is this possible?
Unless the evil thoughts from another world are necessarily based on a deep understanding of these dimensions.

But how can he find out?
Rely on that god?
Lin Zhao scoffed.

She stood up, and after recovering her spiritual energy for a while, she began to explore where she was and how to return to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent.

Fortunately, after flying on her sword for a short while, she saw the familiar Cangwang capital not far away. After confirming the location, Lin Zhao headed towards the exit route of the Demon Realm.

It took them a full half month to return to Chiyuan City.

Although Chiyuan City was also chaotic and infested with demonic cultivators, Lin Zhao felt it was much more adorable than the Demon Realm, which was teeming with man-eating demons.

After resting here for two days, Lin Zhao felt that he was about to make a breakthrough.

Through the life-or-death escapes in the Demon Realm and the meticulous refinement of the formation, Lin Zhao has basically mastered the power of the Heavenly Withering Ancient Formation and raised his cultivation to a critical point.

Now, it's truly time for it to erupt.

With a thought, Lin Zhao entered the cave in the Blue Duck Secret Realm and began his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The journey from the Heartbeat stage to the Nascent Soul stage is almost a heavenly tribulation for ordinary cultivators; only those favored by heaven can take this step.

Otherwise, no matter how abundant your foundation or how good your luck, you will not be able to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and will not be able to attain the Nascent Soul stage.

The first step to entering the Nascent Soul Realm is to shatter one's Divine Palace, melt it into an infant, and nurture another self within the body.

Shattering one's divine palace is extremely dangerous, as it involves enduring a tribulation of lightning. Therefore, without sufficient preparation and a good opportunity, many cultivators dare not take this step.

Lin Zhao looked inward at his nine-layered divine palace and slowly closed his eyes.

In the Golden Core stage, spiritual energy condenses into a spiritual stream; in the Fusion stage, it condenses into a spiritual energy vortex; in the Heartbeat stage, spiritual energy manifests as the Divine Palace; and in the Nascent Soul stage, spiritual energy returns to its origin as the Young Self.

All the myriad methods ultimately return to simplicity.

The aptitude of a Nascent Soul cultivator depends on the refinement of their Nascent Soul.

Most Nascent Soul cultivators' Nascent Souls only resemble an infant, with a similar appearance to the individual. Those with superior talent can recognize the similar facial features of their Nascent Souls. If a Nascent Soul cultivator is a prodigy, then their Nascent Soul is exactly the same as their own, without the slightest difference.

This also allows Nascent Soul stage cultivators to escape using their Nascent Soul after being killed, essentially giving them an extra life.

The collapse of the divine palace in front of Lin Zhao was very, very slow, so slow that Lin Zhao could hardly feel the change.

However, thick, dark lightning had already gathered within the secret realm.

This means her promotion has begun.

Lin Zhao himself didn't know exactly how refined the Nascent Soul he could condense would be.

After the entire divine palace was reduced to ashes before his eyes, Lin Zhao had already received countless bolts of lightning.

Her physical body was no longer harmed by ordinary heavenly lightning. However, Lin Zhao was not happy because of her strong physical body.

Because she discovered that her own foundation could not keep up with the strength of this physical body, her nascent soul could not be formed.

Lin Zhao raised his head and looked at the rolling, flashing lightning: "Although I can't force my foundation, I must take this step."

As she spoke, she was about to break through the mountain and go to the top to receive the most powerful heavenly lightning baptism, using the power of the heavenly lightning to replenish her deficient foundation and create a nascent soul. It was at this moment that the spirit beast pouch stirred.

Zi Yue's anxious voice rang out, "Master, don't worry. While the heavenly lightning brings you power, it will also wear down your physical constitution."

As she spoke, she looked at Fan Chen: "Ah Chen."

Fan Chen nodded, cut his palm, and a wisp of blood flew from his palm and into Lin Zhao's brow.

As the blood entered his body, Lin Zhao's skin visibly turned red.

The next moment, Lin Zhao inexplicably felt that his Phoenix Luck seemed to have surged.
This is... the effect of the Thousand Autumn Flower!
A single flower blooms through the ages, an emperor reigns for ten thousand generations.

Fan Chen is a descendant of Qianqiu Hua. Although his bloodline cannot achieve the full effect of the Qianqiu Flower, it is more than enough to deal with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator who lacks sufficient foundation.

Lin Zhao looked at the purple ancient phoenix in front of him and let out a long cry. Its body suddenly grew taller and its tail feathers lengthened. It seemed that among the seven tail feathers, one could vaguely see the beginnings of an eighth feather!
When Grandma Honghu saw this effect, she gasped in astonishment.

Although she had long known of the fame of the Thousand Autumn Flowers, she still found it hard to believe when she saw it today.

If it weren't Fan Chen here today, but his father, and if his father were to consume the Thousand Autumn Flower as its original form, Lin Zhao's Phoenix Luck would probably be able to directly return to its peak state, or even surpass it!

"Truly worthy of being the number one immortal plant in the cultivation world," Grandma Honghu sighed.

Upon hearing this, Fan Chen glanced fearfully at Granny Honghu, who was floating beside Lin Zhao.

Grandma Honghu noticed this and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm already this old, how could I possibly lay a hand on you? Besides, you've made a pact with Zhao'er, she won't allow anyone else to hurt you."

Fan Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His wounds had healed, and looking at the girl being baptized in the lightning tribulation, he asked Ziyue with trepidation, "So many heavenly lightning bolts, is it really just for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage?"

He felt that advancing to the next level of tribulation was just like this.

Zi Yue said, "Master's advancement is definitely different from others. Let's stay far away and protect him."

Fan Chen was also afraid of being accidentally struck by lightning, so upon hearing this, he quickly followed Zi Yue and hid far away.

After Lin Zhao's foundation was elevated, the dust that his divine palace had turned into slowly rose up and condensed into the shape of an infant.

When the other party condensed, Lin Zhao saw the other party's clear facial features and limbs.

but……

not enough.

Lin Zhao summoned heavenly lightning, which struck the nascent nascent soul.

This scene made both Granny Honghu and Fan Chen Ziyue tremble.

"What is Master going to do?" This was Fan Chen's trembling voice.
"She wanted to use heavenly lightning as a brush to refine the details of the Nascent Soul even further." This was said by Granny Honghu after she had finally calmed down.

"Doesn't it hurt...?" This was Zi Yue's stunned reaction.

Under the slightly frightened gazes of the three, Lin Zhao continuously poured heavenly lightning onto the nascent soul until she could see the texture on the infant's skin. Only when the heavenly lightning dissipated did she gather her energy and begin to meditate.
