After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 406 Dangerous Places
Ji Wantang's powerful return, with her cultivation reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, spread throughout the entire Ancestral Phoenix Plane on the very first day of the selection.

Originally, the Hehuan Palace had become somewhat ambiguous about its stance due to Ji Wantang's defeat in the Divine Soul World. However, for the sake of its second disciple and Ji Wantang's terrifying talent, it had no choice but to completely side with Ji Wantang.

The rules for the selection process are simple: all participants are transported to the Ancestral Phoenix Secret Realm, where they can seize each participant's token. The participant with the most tokens wins.

This process is unrelated to life and death.

This is the stage with the highest number of casualties in the Imperial Election, and it also determines the ranking of the forces participating in the Imperial Election.

The selection process lasted only seven days, and tens of thousands of cultivators participated.

These tens of thousands of cultivators were selected from the Ancestral Phoenix Plane through two rounds of selection: the lower and middle rounds. They are all seed-level candidates from various forces in the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

Now let's all compete in this fierce arena.

The Ancestral Phoenix Plane is never short of geniuses, and besides, geniuses who have died are never counted.

After learning about the selection rules, Lin Zhao couldn't help but think of the competition when he left the Lin family to join the South China Sea Academy.

It is also a points system.

However, compared to the Imperial Selection, the entrance exam for South China Sea Academy now seems like child's play.

After all, during the South China Sea assessment, the truly talented disciples were kept under the watchful eyes of the teachers, and the entrance exam wouldn't allow too many potential disciples to perish.

However, the final rankings determined by the Imperial Selection will decide the allocation of resources for the sects. Here, there are no teachers who care about your life, no alliances to enter the academy, and no friendships to build. Here, there is only intrigue from various forces and life-or-death struggles among various geniuses.

There may be temporary allies here, but there will definitely be no true friends.

There are also numerous stories of the top five geniuses on the Imperial Selection List being wiped out and killed by dozens of disciples from the top one hundred.

Anything can happen here.

When Lin Zhao appeared among the candidates for the top election, everyone around her couldn't help but turn their attention to her.

The people from Lingtian Pavilion and Shenghuang Palace were quite observant, and they all greeted Lin Zhao in a friendly manner.

The Hehuan Palace, Diyin Gate, and Guangming Hall are more intriguing.

Hehuan Palace has always been the best at saving face. This time, Hehuan Palace itself had fifty slots for the top selection, and about twenty of its own disciples had fought their way up from the lower selection to the top selection, making a total of nearly eighty people, which is already a strong team.

In such a general election, the cohesion among disciples of the same sect will be stronger than ever before due to the common interests of the sect.

The way Li Changhao, the young master of Hehuan Palace, looked at Lin Zhao was not very friendly, let alone the other disciples.

However, a seductive fox-eared girl next to Li Changhao winked at Lin Zhao, earning a glare from her young master in return.

The fox-eared girl scratched her ear, seemingly unaffected by the young master's disdain, and nodded to Lin Zhao with a smile.

The people from Diyin Sect didn't come up from the lower ranks, but the fixed fifty spots were more than enough. Diyin Sect's young master, Xu Lewei, placed her cold and indifferent gaze on Lin Zhao.

As equally talented and beautiful women, Xu Lewei's competitive spirit towards Ji Wantang still exists towards Lin Zhao.

However, no matter how she compares them, Xu Lewei has to admit that she cannot compare to these two in terms of appearance and demeanor.

If we're talking about looks, Xu Lewei believes she's not much worse off than Lin Zhao and Ji Wantang.

However, the charm of these two women cannot be described by their appearance; their charm lies in their absolute strength.

As for the Bright Hall, Ji Wantang was not there. The leader was a young man at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. When he saw Lin Zhao, his eyes inevitably flashed with amazement, but this was followed by a surge of killing intent.

Faced with their murderous intent, the Lingtian Pavilion disciples behind Yang Jingjing did not back down. The two giant-level forces were already on the verge of war before they even entered the Ancestral Phoenix Secret Realm.

Lin Zhao coughed and said, "Let's go inside and talk about whatever grudges we have." After saying that, he met the cold, provocative glare of the young man leading the Bright Hall and couldn't help but chuckle, "Also, there's no one here who's capable of provoking me."

She didn't make a sound when she said that, but everyone around heard it. The young man leading the Bright Hall had veins bulging on his forehead and said, "I hope that in the Ancestral Phoenix Secret Realm, the young master of your small first-rate power can be just as stubborn."

Lin Zhao glanced at him but ignored him.

However, almost everyone could sense from the meaning in her eyes that Lin Zhao was simply silent because she didn't want to talk to him, not because she was afraid.

This was something the prideful young man could not tolerate. After the five True Immortals from the five giant-level forces of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane opened the entrance to the Ancestral Phoenix Secret Realm, he led his men to follow closely behind Lin Zhao and the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

Seeing this, Yang Jingjing looked at Lin Zhao with some concern.

Upon entering the secret realm, cultivators are randomly assigned based on the aura of the tokens carried by each sect. In other words, those from the same sect will be placed in the same location.

Although Lin Zhao was not afraid of the people from the Bright Hall, the disciples of the Phoenix Medicine Sect were far inferior to those from the Bright Hall.

"Would you like to exchange tokens with me?" Yang Jingjing transmitted her voice to Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao flicked the token in his hand and laughed: "No need. If Ji Wantang doesn't show up, even if a hundred of these Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivators come, they will only lose."

At this point, both Yang Jingjing and Lin Zhaoxin brought it up.

Ji Wantang appeared in the sky above the Prince Ding's mansion with a spear yesterday, so how come he has disappeared today?

"Are you planning to give me a big one in secret?" Lin Zhao thought long and hard, and this was the only explanation he could come up with.

However, the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"I sensed an ominous yet familiar aura reappearing."

Grandma Honghu said, "I didn't sense any evil thoughts from another world."

“It’s not some evil thought from another world, but…” The remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon gave a bitter smile: “I can’t remember what it is for the time being. My inherited memories only tell me that this aura is very, very dangerous.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao became even more anxious. He tossed a talisman to Yang Jingjing, Chi Yuan, and the young master of the Holy Phoenix Palace, saying, "Location talisman. If anything happens to you, burn the talisman and I will come to find you. If you encounter anything strange, don't try to handle it yourself."

Lin Zhao would never dare to take lightly anything that could be described as dangerous by the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon.

Yang Jingjing accepted the talisman and nodded. Chi Yuan's eyes fell on Lin Zhao with complicated emotions, and he finally nodded. The young master of the Holy Phoenix Palace also nodded indifferently.

With the power of the five True Immortals, the entrance to the Ancestral Phoenix Secret Realm slowly appeared.

One of the long-bearded True Immortals saw Lin Zhao lead the Phoenix Medicine Sect people in and gave a cold laugh with an ambiguous meaning.

"Haha, I hope this little girl will be just as confident once she's inside."

"Wuya, you can still laugh now, but I'm afraid your Bright Hall's status will plummet after this election."

A kind-looking old man standing nearby smirked and mocked the long-bearded immortal.

The long-bearded man is Wuyai, a true immortal from the Bright Hall, while the kind old man is Linghe, a true immortal from the Lingtian Pavilion who has always been at odds with the Bright Hall. The burly young man next to Linghe is Huofeng, a true immortal from the Holy Phoenix Palace. The beautiful woman next to Wuyai is Tianyin, a true immortal from the Hehuan Palace. The eagle-faced old man in the middle of the four is Qianxuan, a true immortal from the Diyin Sect.

Wuya seemed not to hear his old rival's taunts, but Tianxuan said with a smile, "This is just the beginning, and the outcome is still unknown. Brother Linghe is too optimistic about that Ancient Phoenix Daughter."

Tianyin covered her mouth and chuckled: "That girl is not bad, but I feel like she's only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm? The early stage of the Nascent Soul realm is worlds apart from the middle stage. The cultivation levels are not comparable back in the Divine Soul World."

Upon hearing their explanation, Linghe realized he couldn't outwit them with words, so he simply stopped talking.

Seeing his silence, Wuya watched as the disciples entered the Ancestral Phoenix Secret Realm one by one, a meaningful smile curled at the corners of his lips, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
