Chapter 416 Lin Zhao, the Young Emperor
After the election, Lin Zhao will succeed as the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor and will definitely spare no effort to crack down on the Bright Hall.

However, the foundation of the young prodigies of the Bright Hall was still there, so even under the attack of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, if everyone worked together, it wouldn't be a problem for them to maintain their status as a giant power or to firmly establish themselves among the transcendent powers.

However, Ji Wantang's move effectively ruined the reputation of Guangming Hall, both internally and externally.

It can be said that Lin Zhao is the mastermind who is about to lead the Bright Hall to its decline, while Ji Wantang has robbed the sect of its last bit of hope.

Wuya could no longer utter the words that Guangming Hall had Ji Wantang.

Something seemed to be stuck in his throat, and in the end, he could only ask with the same confusion as that disciple before: "Why? Aren't you a disciple of the Bright Hall? Hasn't the sect invested enough in your training over the years?"

Upon hearing this, Ling He refrained from uttering any further sarcastic remarks to his old rival.

Because of Yang Jingjing's reshuffling of Lingtian Pavilion over the years, both the upper and middle levels have had a tough time.

"Having committed too many sins, this is to be expected." Ling He lowered his eyes, it was unclear whether he was referring to the Bright Hall, which had been tricked by Ji Wantang on her deathbed, or to the higher-ups of the Lingtian Pavilion who had been opposing Yang Jingjing all these years.

"Are we, among those of us, truly utterly ignorant? This is the cause and effect of karma."

In recent years, due to the old age of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor and his lack of involvement in affairs, the five major powers have been able to wield power and influence in the Central Continent, doing all sorts of things.
Those who commit many evil deeds will eventually face retribution, even if Heaven does not punish them.

Wuya's gaze shifted as he looked at the disciples rapidly recovering their flesh and blood in the light screen. Thinking of the deceased Ji Wantang, he vaguely recalled that he had once guided these disciples in their cultivation.

What was I thinking at that time?
He couldn't remember.

He repeated, "Cause and effect, karma."

He closed his eyes: "What karma and karmic obstacles? You and I are cultivating immortality and defying the heavens, why should we believe in karma? It's just a matter of the victor taking all, and my Bright Hall lost completely."

Upon hearing this, Qianxuan and Tianyin sighed but did not react.

Inside the secret realm, Lin Zhao checked his points and used his spiritual energy to spread his voice: "Everyone, the secret realm will close in half a day. The imperial elections for each sect will officially begin."

After she finished speaking, everyone finally came back to their senses from the previous battle.
Yang Jingjing looked at Lin Zhao, her eyes flashing with a myriad of emotions. In the end, she performed the rites of a subject.

"Congratulations to Emperor Linzhao!"

The members of Lingtian Pavilion bowed in unison: "Congratulations to Emperor Lin Zhao!"

Tens of thousands of disciples spread the word from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, and from a thousand to ten thousand, and in just a few breaths, they all shouted in unison.

"Congratulations to Emperor Linzhao!"

The current royal disciples, including Chi Yuan, exchanged glances and nodded to each other, offering their congratulations to Lin Zhao: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

After everyone finished offering their congratulations, Lin Zhao spoke up: "If you all would be so kind as to give me face, let's hurry up and proceed with the Imperial Election, which is only half a day away. It's not good that we have so many zeros in our scores."

As Lin Zhao spoke, the various forces gradually recovered from the previous earth-shattering battle. After Lin Zhao's figure disappeared, the battle between the various forces was about to break out.

Perhaps because there was only half a day left and Ji Wantang's previous intimidation was too terrifying, this imperial election actually had the fewest casualties in recent years, and the winners were determined within half a day.

Lin Zhao had been keeping an eye on her points, and since she was consistently in first place, she hadn't paid much attention to anything else.

After the election ended and everyone was teleported out of the secret realm, Lin Zhao had not yet met up with the people from the Phoenix Medicine Sect when he felt a gentle yet irresistible force lift him into the sky.

Before Lin Zhao, a dazzling golden light shone, and a figure in imperial robes sat on the throne. At that moment, Lin Zhao naturally recognized who it was.

Looking at this woman who seemed gentle and kind, Lin Zhao was about to bow down as Yang Jingjing had done to her before, but was held up by the spiritual power of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor looked at Lin Zhao with an indescribable sense of satisfaction and gentleness.

She didn't say anything more, but simply uttered four words to Lin Zhao that everyone present could hear: "Pass the throne to Lin Zhao."

The official edict of succession is to be proclaimed to the world, and news of Lin Zhao's ascension will be received in both the Ancestral Phoenix Plane and other planes.

However, the four words she uttered signified that at this moment, she was no longer the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, and Lin Zhao was now the official Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

"Little girl, you are very good. I can rest assured that the Ancestral Phoenix Plane is in your hands." The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor sighed, and her figure slowly melted away.

When Chi Yuan came out, he saw this scene. Even though he had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage and thought he could control his emotions well, he couldn't help but shout, "Mother Empress!"

The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, or rather, the head of the Chi family, glanced at her most beloved son, her expression neither sad nor happy. She and the throne she sat upon gradually dissipated: "I have reigned for a thousand years, and the Chi family has guarded the Ancestral Phoenix Plane. A hundred years ago, I deeply felt unwell, but with evil thoughts not eradicated and the Demon Realm unsettled, how could I dare pass on the chaos to future generations? Now that the world is at peace and the Demon Realm is suppressed, and with a successor in this prosperous era, I have fulfilled my wish and returned to heaven and earth in the form of a true immortal. I earnestly hope that you all will support the young emperor, uphold the might of my Ancestral Phoenix, and establish the name of my Ancestral Phoenix."

The five True Immortals sensed that the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, who was on the same level as them or even stronger, was about to ascend to immortality, and they all stood up and bowed.

The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor before us was once a force to be reckoned with, capable of taking on a thousand men in the Imperial Election.

However, due to numerous turmoil in the plane, the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor gave up his higher advancement in order to ensure the stability and development of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

The Ancestral Phoenix Emperor dedicated his entire life to the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

Therefore, even though the five major powers possessed True Immortals of the same combat strength as the royal family, they still held the Chi family royal family in high esteem during the reign of Emperor Zuhuang.

Now, the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor is using his last bit of strength to formally pass the throne to Lin Zhao face-to-face under the heavens, in order to establish the situation in the Ancestral Phoenix Realm and order the feudal lords to support the young emperor.

With her intervention, even though the major powers were acting in accordance with the late emperor's wishes, they dared not openly act recklessly against the young emperor, whose strength was still relatively weak.

She was scheming for the Ancestral Phoenix Plane until her death.

Lin Zhao could naturally sense this special care from the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

This certainly reflects the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor's long-term consideration for the safety of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane, but it also shows his concern for himself.

She looked at the Phoenix Seal that appeared in her hand after the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor disappeared; the four characters "Ancestral Phoenix Emperor Seal" shimmered with golden light in the sunlight.

She could sense that this imperial seal had already established a connection with her.

A powerful figure flew in from a distance and bowed deeply to Lin Zhao, saying, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

The five True Immortals exchanged a glance and bowed to Lin Zhaowei in the manner of subjects: "Your subjects pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Even Wuya could not deny Lin Zhao, who was publicly passed on her throne by the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, despite the power of the Ancestral Phoenix Plane.

Lin Zhao looked at the several high-ranking officials of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire who were close to him, remained silent for a while, and didn't know what to say.

The young man in the python robe followed the crowd to Lin Zhao and said, "Please, Your Majesty, come with us. The power rankings and the distribution of rewards after the election will need to be handled after Your Majesty ascends the throne."

Lin Zhao looked at Chi Yuan, relieved, nodded, exchanged a glance with the Phoenix Medicine Sect members, and followed Chi Yuan and the others toward the Imperial Palace of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire.
