Chapter 534 Awakening Bifang
"The mountains have spirits, accompanying my cold sword, knowing the dew in the morning and the frost at dusk."

"A sword lies hidden in a thousand mountains, leading me to the path of enlightenment; spring's longing melts away, winter's chill turns to snow."

Each spirit creature that entered transformed into wisps of colorless and formless mist, which then formed layers of mountain ranges, within which stood only one person holding a sword.

These spiritual energies took shape and withstood the drizzle formed by the sword intent, thus transforming into mist along with the drizzle, becoming the mountain range within this spiritual technique.

Lin Zhao looked at Gu Qing: "This is the essence of a sword cultivator. Any spiritual energy technique, unless it is a head-on confrontation, cannot damage your sword intent or spiritual skills in the slightest. It will only become a sacrifice within your sword intent."

In other words, to completely defeat a sword cultivator, one must truly defeat him with swords drawn and blood drawn.

While spiritual energy can crush and kill cultivators, it cannot truly defeat a sword cultivator's sword intent.

Lin Zhao handed the cold sword to him.

The hilt of the Cold Sword was still hot. Gu Qing held the Cold Sword, and a faint light appeared in his eyes. Something that had been lingering in his heart for years was gradually becoming clear.

He simply sat down and began to meditate.

Lin Zhao nodded, summoned the Heavenly Punishment Brush, drew several array points, and set up a barrier for him.

Within the barrier, Gu Qing's aura fluctuated, and anyone could see that he had already touched the barrier between the Integration Realm and the Tribulation Realm, and it was only a matter of time before he advanced to the Tribulation Realm.

This scene evoked mixed feelings in the eyes of the Nascent Soul cultivators. However, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators from the immortal sects bowed respectfully to the younger generation, their eyes no longer filled with hostility at having their spots taken away.

Lin Zhao used her spiritual technique very slowly, and the entire square was enveloped by her sword intent. It was clearly a teaching session, and this session was not just for Gu Qing. The sword cultivators among them also benefited.

In other words, even those who are not sword cultivators can gain insights from such a spiritual technique, a deadly spiritual technique that is almost a display of skill.

Xingxiu couldn't say anything, but simply bowed to Lin Zhao as a peer, which surprised the leader somewhat.

Judging from how Xingxiu dared to mock her whenever he had the chance, it's clear that Xingxiu himself is arrogant and extremely unruly. It seems that Lin Zhao has truly beaten him into submission.

However, one has to admit that for so many years, he and Gu Qing had been researching how to touch that barrier, but Lin Zhao appeared and solved the problem.

Winning this four-on-one match and securing the spot is easy, but for the arrogant Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the Immortal Sect to have such heartfelt respect for one person, Lin Zhao is probably the first.

The leader smiled slightly and glanced at Ning Wengui: "I only knew her identity as the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor and her record of defeating Ji Wantang before. Now it seems that this girl is starting her path to becoming an emperor, and who knows... she might even become a Venerable."

Ning Wengui's pupils contracted.

Above the Emperor level is the Immortal Venerable position, which is closest to the level of the Creator God.

It is unknown whether there are still Immortal Venerables in the cultivation world, but there are certainly no more Gods.

The leader glanced at Gu Qing, nodded, then stood up and smiled slightly at the other cultivators: "I wonder if Lin Zhao can obtain this spot now?"

After a moment of silence, Huang Mang spoke first: "I wish Fellow Daoist Lin a safe journey."

The cultivators all said in unison, "May Fellow Daoist Lin have a safe journey!"

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Fortunately, no one mentioned the Bifang bird she had taken in anymore.

After returning to the Immortal Sect with the Chief and Ning Wen, the Chief heard Lin Zhao mention this matter and laughed, "You even made that disciple of Xingxiu comprehend that barrier, how dare that old man ask you for the Bifang Bird?"

Even if Lin Zhao hadn't helped Gu Qing comprehend the truth, it wouldn't have mattered if Lin Zhao had taken the Bifang Bird and hadn't returned it. After all, Gu Qing had released it herself, so it's no one's fault if it became someone else's spoils of war.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that was good. She had thought that the little thing was going to ask her for Bifang, but now that little thing was being teased by Jin Ya, she was not going back.

"You must be exhausted after the battle. Take a few days to rest. Our immortal sect's team will depart in three days."

Lin Zhao nodded, bid farewell to the leader and Ning Wengui, and followed the people from the immortal sect to his temporary residence. He then lay down on the bed and threw a talisman towards the door. Although today's battle wasn't tiring, it had still required some mental effort.

Lin Zhao raised his hand, rubbed his temples, and then, with a thought, entered the Blue Duck Secret Realm.

When she entered the Blue Duck Secret Realm, Jin Ya had almost plucked a Bi Fang bald. Although the Bi Fang had no intelligence, it had instincts. Sensing that Lin Zhao had entered, it cried and crawled towards her like a plucked rooster, begging her for protection without any regard for its image.

Lin Zhao looked at the Bifang, whose tail feathers were completely gone, then at Jin Ya, and took a deep breath: "You're planning to stew it?"

Jin Ya waved her hand: "No, it's just that after I was beaten before, a lot of my fur fell out. The fur on this Bifang is pretty, I want to stick it on myself."

Lin Zhao: "..." I overlooked the fact that your beastly nature is also a love of beauty.

"Don't you think he also feels ashamed of this?" Lin Zhao pointed to the ferocious beast whose fur had been half-plucked.

Bi Fang's meridians were locked by Lin Zhao's spiritual energy talisman, preventing him from using his spiritual energy. At this moment, he was hiding behind Lin Zhao with a pitiful expression, only peeking out his head to look at Jin Ya.

Jin Ya scratched her head: "He's just a ferocious beast, what's shameful about that?"

Lin Zhao sighed helplessly, "Just because a ferocious beast lacks reason doesn't mean it's an idiot. Even if it were an idiot, it would still have the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm."

Jin Ya clicked her tongue: "Is it that complicated?"

Lin Zhao took out the pills he had previously refined to clear demonic energy, looked at Bi Fang for a while, and said: "Although I don't know how effective this thing is on divine beasts, I guess it won't kill you. Come on, open your mouth."

Fan Chen Ziyue, who witnessed everything: "..."

So what's the fundamental difference between you two?!

Poor Bifang was terrified when Lin Zhao stuffed a pill into his mouth, and he thrashed about on the ground for a long time.

Lin Zhao and Fan Chen Ziyue Jinya were watching it from the side.

"That thing can make him like that?" Jin Ya didn't understand and looked down on it: "And it's a divine beast, how embarrassing."

Zi Yue said, "It's probably an act, but isn't he mentally unstable?"

Fan Chen concluded: "He's only left with instinct, yet he can still act. What a drama queen."

The dramatic Bi Fang suddenly shouted, "I understand you, don't talk bad about me!"

Fan Chen clapped his hands in surprise: "He can talk?!"

Bifang: "?" Who does he think he is? He's a divine beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage, why can't he speak?
Wait, wasn't he supposed to be oblivious to everything because he was possessed by demonic energy? How come he can talk again all of a sudden?!

"It works even faster on mythical beasts."

Lin Zhao probed out his soul and examined it: "But only one-fifth of the demonic energy was cleared, which only temporarily cleared your soul."

In other words, the mythical beasts need more elixirs.

The raw materials for this elixir are not cheap.

Lin Zhao hesitated.

Bi Fang understood Lin Zhao's meaning and was shocked. "You can remove the demonic energy from my body?!"

He knew that some pills could bring human cultivators back from the brink of demonic influence, but these pills had almost no effect on divine beasts; otherwise, a race like the Bifang wouldn't have allowed one of its members to be corrupted by demonic energy.

Jin Ya kicked his bare butt: "Now that you can talk, why are you still spouting so much nonsense? Take human form, you look awful right now!"

Bi Fang: "..." Who is responsible for my current state?!
