Chapter 41 Reaching the Cloud Peak
After receiving the admission token for Nanhai Academy, Lin Zhao rested briefly and left the Lin family the next morning.

Lin Mang only then received the news from the Youlan Empire, and he told his wife about Youlan's proposal to establish friendly relations.

Yao Yun took the spirit letter and sighed, "Tell me, were we too harsh on Wen Gui back then?"

After all, both children are innocent in the matter of the annulment of the engagement.

If the Lin family had been more careful all these years, Ning Wengui wouldn't have been framed and crippled, and Youlan wouldn't have cut ties with the Lin family for ten years, only recently resuming their good relations with them thanks to Lin Zhao's help.

With the financial support of the Yulan Empire, this is undoubtedly good news for the Lin family to consolidate and strengthen itself.

For at least the next ten years, the Lin family will remain among the prominent families.

Lin Mang shook his head, feeling moved by Lin Zhao's contributions to the family, but also troubled by his daughter's lack of suitors: "The engagement with Yaochi Holy Land hasn't been officially dissolved yet, and the Holy Son of Penglai Holy Land has sent a message that he's interested in Zhao Zhao. Take a look."

Yao Yun clasped her hands together, refusing to look at the message. "Let's postpone this matter because the marriage agreement with Yaochi Holy Land is still unresolved. Yu'er and Yi'er were taken away by people from other planes because of that so-called dragon soul. I hope my daughter will not suffer any more misfortune."

……

Lin Zhao was of course unaware that one of the four holy lands had a holy son who still harbored feelings for him, but even if he did know, he would politely decline.

At this moment, she took out the Heavenly Communication Mirror that Yao Yun had given her before she set off. The Heavenly Communication Mirror is a magical artifact used by cultivators in the cultivation world to communicate and send information. Yao Yun had previously thought that Lin Zhao was too young to buy it for her, but after she went to Cloud Peak, the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable didn't care about her at all.

Only now has Lin Zhao acquired her own Heavenly Mirror.

After Lin Zhao established her Tian Tong, she entered Tian Tong Square, where the endless stream of dazzling news instantly dazzled her.

The key point is that she saw a circle in the square specifically for creating "Wangshu Fairy" images, and for a moment she had a bad feeling.

Grandma floated beside her, finding it quite interesting, and used her spiritual power to enter that circle.

Yun Yi: [Fairy Wangshu is going to the South China Sea Academy, and I'm going to pursue my goddess too. Goddess, wait for me! I promise I won't treat you like that turtle-grandson Shen did.]

"I'm the most handsome in the Eight Desolations": [Even if there's no mirror upstairs, you still need to pee, right? It's a miracle the Fairy Wangshu would even look at you. At least that bastard Shen is good-looking and from a good family, what do you have? I heard from inside the Lin family that Fairy Wangshu has already reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, you have no chance! Hey, I'm at the South China Sea Academy, I'm all ready and waiting for the fairy to come!"]

Lin Dongdong: [But the young master didn't go to the South China Sea; she went to Cloud Peak.]

I'm the most handsome in all the wilderness: [What?!]

Lin Zhao shut down the circle and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Grandma teased, "I didn't expect you to be so popular here. It seems that the annulment of the engagement didn't affect you much."

Lin Zhao smiled wryly: "This is only for some children. I have no face among the higher-ups of the Tianhuang Continent."

Grandma nodded: "It's good that you can see this far. You have to take back the face that was thrown away by you."

It took three days to reach Cloud Peak. Upon seeing the familiar scenery, Lin Zhao's gaze gradually sharpened.

She and the Lin family had descended the mountain in disgrace, brought down by the Cloud Peak Immortal and Chen Luoluo. Today, it was time for them to reclaim something.

The disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect didn't stop her. After all, the seven peaks of the Myriad Swords Sect were at odds with each other, and the peak masters of the other six peaks had long disliked the Cloud Peak Immortal. Anyway, it wasn't anything that would disgrace the sect, so they were happy to let Lin Zhao come and cause trouble.

Therefore, Lin Zhao easily entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and arrived at the foot of Cloud Peak Mountain.

The disciples guarding the mountain gate had already learned of Lin Zhao's impending arrival through the Heavenly Mirror. They exchanged glances, somewhat troubled.

Aside from being a bit strange towards Chen Luoluo and the others, Lin Zhao was impeccable when it came to these people. He didn't act like a personal disciple and would even guide them in their cultivation.

Leaving aside the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, at least half of the people on Cloud Peak have benefited from Lin Zhao's kindness. Her influence among the lower levels of Cloud Peak is even stronger than that of the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable.

Lin Zhao looked at the two teenagers guarding the mountain gate and sighed, "Xiao An and Xiao Ning, you've both reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

The two disciples bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

Lin Zhao shook her head and smiled, "I'm no longer your senior sister." The two disciples fell silent, their eyes filled with pain.

"You can't stop me," Lin Zhao said. "I have no intention of making things difficult for you either. Step back."

The two disciples exchanged a glance and slowly made way for each other.

As Lin Zhao walked by, the two suddenly spoke up: "Of the 864 Foundation Establishment stage and below disciples on Cloud Peak, 451 plan to join other peak masters tomorrow, including my brother and me. Senior Sister, cultivators are not ungrateful people."

Lin Zhao was also somewhat moved upon hearing this. Although she understood that this was largely due to the prevailing atmosphere of flattering the powerful and belittling the weak under the leadership of the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable, there was indeed affection between them and her.

“I know Xiao Lele, the eldest disciple of Aolai Peak. If you are confused, you can go to her.” Lin Zhao tossed a spiritual note to the two of them. “She will understand after seeing this.”

The peak master of Aolai Peak had intended to take her as his disciple, but unfortunately, she was already out of control at that time and was forced to become a disciple of the Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable.

As time passed, Lin Zhao sighed as he looked at the rows of disciples escorting him along the mountain path.

"Today, it's time for me and Chen Luoluo to settle things once and for all."

When Lin Zhao reached the summit of Cloud Peak and saw the black-haired youth, he instinctively gripped his bone sword tighter.

"You old scoundrel from Cloudtop!"

But she quickly realized that it was just a projection, not her.

"Lin Zhao, don't think that you can act recklessly just because you've joined the South Sea. Luo Luo possesses three parts of Phoenix Luck, and you will never be her match."

Lin Zhao scoffed: "Phoenix Luck obtained through theft?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the Cloud Peak Immortal shook his head contemptuously and stopped arguing: "I've said all I can. If you want to die, then come on."

Lin Zhao narrowed her eyes. Yun Ding actually let her in. Was this... to let her fight Chen Luoluo?
Based on her understanding of Cloud Peak, Lin Zhao could easily guess that he wanted to choose one of the two and leave a winner.

Suppressing these thoughts, Lin Zhao leaped up and, relying on his memory, quickly arrived at Chen Luoluo's cave.

"Chen Luoluo, get out here."

A gentle breeze stirred around them, and sunlight cast shadows on the mountain peaks, obscuring Lin Zhao's features and leaving only a shadowy area.

At the entrance of the cave, a pale yellow figure slowly appeared, leading a delicately handsome boy. Chen Luoluo gracefully descended on her sword.

The powerful aura emanating from the other party made Lin Zhao sense danger.

"The consecration period?" Lin Zhao asked incredulously.

How could Chen Luoluo, who gained her cultivation level by simply lying down and leeching off resources, possibly enter the Enlightenment stage so quickly?

Grandma seemed to know what she was thinking and answered in her mind: "It seems to be spiritual energy coming from her. She is lucky to receive the purest spiritual energy from someone else."

It's not uncommon in the cultivation world to infuse one's spiritual energy into a junior, but only the purest spiritual energy can do that.

The conversion rate of pure spiritual energy to one's own spiritual energy is less than 100 to 1, and even after the empowerment, it is uncertain how much the recipient can absorb and how much they can grow.

Therefore, few people in the cultivation world do such a thankless task. After all, if someone is truly gifted, the spiritual power infusion would be too useless.

If one is not naturally gifted, even the best spiritual infusion can only help them reach the enlightenment stage, and they will hardly make any progress in their lifetime.

Lin Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Luoluo's mindset and aptitude allowed her to enter the enlightenment stage so quickly, she would find it hard to accept.

Feeling her cultivation at the Enlightenment stage, Chen Luoluo smiled disdainfully at Lin Zhao: "Senior Sister, are you here to deliver the last bit of Phoenix Luck?"
