Chapter 313 Heading to the Central Continent
When Tianzhu was born, Lin Zhao was also exhausted. She was panting heavily as she looked at the talisman brush, which was entirely white and lay horizontally in the jade box that the Grand Elder had made for it. Faint feathers were faintly visible on the brush.

Lin Zhao stretched out his hand and subconsciously called out, "Tian Zhu, come."

As the talisman brush moved, it seemed to sense the efforts this person had made during its birth, since its core energy was provided by Lin Zhao's Phoenix Luck and Golden Crow Divine Fire. Therefore, it flew out of the opened jade box and landed in Lin Zhao's hand.

Lin Zhao looked at Tianzhu and felt a strange sense of familiarity.

This feels different from the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.

Since acknowledging Lin Zhao as her master, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword has been constantly in use. However, Lin Zhao can sense that each use of the sword, and each advancement in the Phoenix Vein Technique, contains a test from the remnant will of the Ancestral Phoenix within the bone sword.
If one day she no longer meets the standards of the Ancestral Phoenix, or if she is no longer able to wield the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, then the sword will no longer obey her.

A natal sword that constantly tests one's abilities is not a good thing for any cultivator.

However, due to the unique nature of the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, both advantages and risks exist simultaneously.

But the Heavenly Punishment before us is different.

Lin Zhao could sense that the talisman pen felt a kind of tender affection for him, like an infant seeing its mother.

It will unconditionally obey all its commands.

Lin Zhao gripped the Heavenly Punishment Pen tightly, a flash of red light appeared in his palm, and a drop of blood fell into the Heavenly Punishment Pen, forming a blood pact. At the same time, he heard the description of the Heavenly Punishment Pen in his mind.

"When the pen falls, the heavens punish; all things are free to do as they please."

Lin Zhao pondered the meaning of those words and smiled: "From now on, we will fight side by side."

When the Grand Elder saw Lin Zhao's contract with the Heavenly Punishment Talisman Brush, he sighed with a touch of bitterness: "I've spent so long refining it, and it's not as good as this little girl's half a quarter of an hour."

Lin Zhao put away the Heavenly Punishment and thanked the Grand Elder with a smile, saying, "This junior is destined to have it."

The elder rolled his eyes: "This old man isn't that petty. This nonsense might fool others, but it won't fool me. Tell me, what have you done?"

Lin Zhao, of course, told the Grand Elder everything he had done in that half-quarter of an hour.

The elder listened thoughtfully and said, "I need to go into seclusion for a while. Do not disturb me during this time."

The sect leader and other elders knew that the Grand Elder had already touched the threshold of becoming a Celestial-grade weapon refiner. Once he broke through his cultivation, their Phoenix Medicine Sect would have one more Celestial-grade weapon refiner.

"Young Master is truly a lucky star for our sect," the Third Elder couldn't help but exclaim.

Mingzhu twitched the corner of his mouth: "The eldest brother has been stuck at this stage for many years. If you attribute all the credit to the young master, it's disrespectful to the eldest brother."

The sect leader listened without speaking, then looked at Lin Zhao: "You plan to leave the sect, right?"

Lin Zhao was surprised that the sect leader had seen through his plan at a glance, so he didn't hide it and nodded.

"Lin Zhao is now at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He cannot make better progress in the Northwest Continent, so this junior wants to go to the Central Continent."

The sect leader said, "We will make preparations for this for you. Now that you are the young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect, the sect will have to make some plans for you."

The other elders supported the sect leader's words, especially Ming Zhu. Upon learning that Lin Zhao was going to the Central Continent alone, he couldn't help but say, "Young Master, don't be too arrogant. We know that you are exceptionally talented, but while your cultivation is outstanding in the Northwest Continent, it is insignificant in the Central Continent. If something happens, our sect will not be able to provide assistance... Why not wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage before going to the Central Continent?" The other elders also had this concern, but they also understood that a disciple with Lin Zhao's talent could not be restrained by them.

Fortunately, just a few days after Lin Zhao averted the heavenly tribulation, the imperial decree from the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor arrived.

The Third Elder was playing chess with Ming Zhu at the time. Upon learning of this decree, he was so overjoyed that he couldn't hold his chess piece for the first time: "Is this true? Can our sect really go to the Central Continent? And enjoy the treatment of a first-class sect?"

The disciple who delivered the message nodded: "Yes, it's an imperial edict from the Emperor, how could it be false?!"

With the Phoenix Medicine Sect's current strength, apart from its sect leader's Tribulation Transcending stage cultivation, the strongest of the other elders is only at the Great Perfection of the Integration stage. It's really a stretch for it to be considered a first-class sect in the Central Continent.

However, if the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor issues a decree, then there will be no coercion whatsoever.

With the resources allocated by a first-class sect, it won't be too difficult for their sect's elders to break through to the Tribulation Realm in the future.

After years of decline, their Phoenix Medicine Sect is finally seeing the dawn of its rise!

The Third Elder was overjoyed and almost shed tears. He looked at Ming Zhu and said, "See? What did I say before? The young master is truly a lucky star for our sect!"

Mingzhu was unable to utter any rebuttal at this moment.

Because of these imperial edicts, anyone with a brain can guess that the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor elevated the entire Phoenix Medicine Sect for the sake of Lin Zhao.

But he thought further ahead than the Third Elder, "Does the Emperor think that the young master is capable of...?"

The Third Elder, reminded of this, also considered the possibility. He was about to say that it probably wouldn't happen, but considering Lin Zhao's speed in advancing from the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in less than half a year, he hesitated to speak.

"The difficulty of going from Nascent Soul to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul is more than a hundred times that of going from Qi Refining to the early stage of Nascent Soul. If Your Majesty wants the young master to face off against Ji Wantang, it is rather... wishful thinking."

Even if they have high hopes for Lin Zhao, the difficulty of progressing from the early stage of Nascent Soul to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul is still there. Ji Wantang was able to reach that level of cultivation so quickly back then because he relied on the spiritual energy infusion passed down from the Bright Hall to achieve such a level.

Their Phoenix Medicine Sect didn't have that kind of profound foundation to help Lin Zhao advance from the early Nascent Soul stage to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

Mingzhu was quite open-minded: "In any case, the decree has been issued, so let's enjoy it for now. After all, we're all in the same boat as the young master."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder agreed, "However, for such a joyous occasion, we should still go and offer our congratulations to the young master."

When they happily arrived at Lin Zhao's cave, they found that the sect leader and other elders were already there, their expressions all strange.

"What's wrong?" the Third Elder asked.

The sect leader said helplessly, "If you've also come to offer your congratulations, you can go back now. This little girl has already set off for the Central Continent."

Mingzhu exclaimed in surprise, "So this girl left the day after she got the talisman brush?"

The sect leader nodded: "However, I had her leave behind a soul tablet, which can determine her location and life status. She is doing well now and is heading towards the Central Continent."

The Seventh Elder sighed, "Let her go. If it's really as we suspect, the burden on this girl is something we can't help her with."
