Chapter 375 The Successor of the Azure Emperor
"The Upper Realm?" Yunfei took a while to process Lin Zhao's question, as if she had just realized what Lin Zhao had said. "If you can take me with you, please take me up there."

Lin Zhao said, "Judging from His Highness the Prince's appearance, he doesn't seem particularly willing for you to go to the upper realm, but he still made this request. Can you tell me why?"

Yunfei's gaze was somewhat complicated. This was the first time Lin Zhao had seen such complex emotions in this spoiled and willful little princess.

“Come with me. It’s not appropriate to talk to you here. Come to my cave and I’ll explain.”

Upon arriving at Yunfei's cave, Yunfei suddenly untied her pink gauze dress.

If she weren't also a girl, Lin Zhao would have turned around and left.

Fortunately, Yunfei didn't keep taking her clothes off, but instead revealed a snow-white arm with dark green totems flowing on it.

Lin Zhao looked at the totem, but after only a short while, he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. He quickly looked away to restore his spiritual power.

“My maternal grandfather was the Azure Emperor of the Upper Realm.” Yun Fei sat on the stool, her gaze falling on the pattern on her arm, and sighed softly, “Don’t you think it’s amazing?”

Lin Zhao nodded subconsciously.

A Celestial Emperor, how could he not be powerful?!

Yunfei gave a bitter smile: "But my grandfather's true form is the Taiyi Divine Tree, a spiritual plant that was born alongside the Creator God. It took him many years of cultivation to become an immortal."

It is rare for a spiritual plant to become an immortal. Lin Zhao asked, "Is there a problem?"

Grandma Honghu answered for Yunfei: "The Taiyi Divine Tree was born together with the Creator God. They also possess the power of the world's origin. Perhaps there was a problem in the upper realm, so the Taiyi Divine Tree had to divide its power to support the upper realm."

Although she has been away from the Upper Realm for who knows how many years, we can roughly guess some of the details.

Yunfei sighed, "Grandpa's power won't last much longer. My mother is his only bloodline. Although she is also a celestial wood body, she did not inherit his divine wood body."

Lin Zhao immediately understood, and his gaze towards Yun Fei changed: "You mean, you inherited the Divine Tree Body?"

Considering the unique nature of the Taiyi Divine Tree and the changes that had occurred in the Upper Realm, Lin Zhao couldn't help but say, "Isn't this going up there to make you sacrifice yourself?"

Yunfei's eyes dimmed: "So this is why my mother left me on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent after she realized my constitution. She must have known about this all along."

Lin Zhao said, "I'll go and refuse His Highness the Prince."

Yunfei said, "Don't refuse. I want to go up and see my mother, my maternal grandfather, and Zhaoyue's father."

She clenched her fists: "Although I am very scared, my father told me that as royalty, we should return the offerings we receive from our people to them."

From childhood to adulthood, she witnessed her older cousins ​​fighting against the demon realm and losing their lives. She was once glad that she was just a useless little girl.

But she wasn't like that. Like her older cousins, she had her own responsibilities to bear.

Her voice trembled, but she still managed to say, "Lin Zhao, please take me to the Upper Realm. My future is uncertain, but I will ask my grandfather to repay you properly."

Lin Zhao wanted to say that if even the Azure Emperor, as a Celestial Emperor, couldn't solve this problem, how could it be a matter of life and death?
But when she met Yunfei's pink, tearful eyes, she swallowed all her words: "If I really have that ability."

Although her relationship with Yunfei wasn't exactly one of life-or-death bond, Lin Zhao knew she couldn't bring herself to force Yunfei to go to her death in the Upper Realm. Granny Honghu noticed Lin Zhao's thoughts and advised, "You'd better take her up there. It's her own decision, her father's choice, and the Upper Realm's forced choice."

If they weren't desperate, who would be willing to force a descendant of an immortal emperor who hadn't even grown up to take on the responsibilities of this world?

Lin Zhao thought of Qu Shu, who also seemed to have a responsibility that he was born with.

And then there's Youli, who considers himself extraordinary, and seems to believe in fate as well.

There is also the Phoenix Luck that I originally possessed, but lost along the way.

"There are always unpredictable things in this world. Besides, I have a feeling that something is not right about this matter. Even if Yunfei has the inheritance of the Divine Tree, her current cultivation level is only Nascent Soul. What strength does a Nascent Soul cultivator have to withstand the pressure of supporting the cultivation world? It would be more reasonable to say that they want to sever the inheritance of the Taiyi Divine Tree after she goes to the upper realm. Therefore, I will not take her up there before I actually meet Yunfei's birth mother and the Azure Emperor."

Grandma Honghu did not refute.

In fact, she did not agree with sacrificing Yunfei. If the Taiyi Divine Tree, which had not yet grown, were to suffer an accident, the Taiyi Divine Tree would lose its lineage. Therefore, sacrificing it at this moment would be like a moth flying into a flame.

Upon learning Yunfei's identity, Lin Zhao was in a bad mood. After replying to Prince Chiling's message on the Heavenly Mirror, she went to find the sect leader.

The sect leader looked at Lin Zhao as he landed in front of him and asked with a smile, "Your current cultivation level is the late Nascent Soul stage. When do you plan to break through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao smiled wryly and said, "How could I possibly do something like this just because I want to?"

The sect leader laughed heartily: "If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't believe it, but it seems like nothing is impossible for you."

Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I'll take it as the sect leader praising me. The reason I came here is that I hope the sect leader can help me register for the imperial election. I may have to go into seclusion for a while."

Upon hearing this, the sect leader nodded: "You just need to focus on improving yourself. The sect will take care of everything else. If you have to do everything yourself, then what's the point of being the young master of the Phoenix Medicine Sect?"

Lin Zhao thanked them and took out the gifts he had prepared for the people he knew in the sect from his ring. "These items have names on them, please give them to them on my behalf, Sect Leader."

The sect leader glanced at the items and discovered that he even had one of his own high-grade sacred artifacts. He chuckled and said, "Not bad, not bad. I haven't spoiled you for nothing. You have good eyesight."

Lin Zhao smiled and bid farewell to the sect leader. He returned to his cave dwelling and entered the cave within the secret realm without saying a word, feeling the passage of time within the secret realm.

Lin Zhao took out all the spiritual treasures he had obtained from the Demon Realm. Looking at the vast number of treasures floating in front of him, Lin Zhao was unsure whether these treasures could help him advance to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

Because she had a premonition that the amount of spiritual energy she needed to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage was on a completely different level compared to the amount needed for the late Nascent Soul stage.

"No matter, let's try it first."

Suppressing all her chaotic thoughts for the time being, Lin Zhao sat cross-legged and slowly began to circulate her cultivation technique. When her body was in the best possible condition, she began to absorb the spiritual energy from these magical treasures.

A large amount of spiritual energy was drawn into her dantian and transformed into her foundation.
