Chapter 54 Evil Thoughts from Another World - System

Ignoring Reiwa's shock, Lin Zhao cast a restriction on Reiwa and then closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

The battle against Reiwa gave Lin Zhao a clear understanding of his current fighting strength.

She was able to defeat Reiwa more because Reiwa underestimated her opponent and wanted to kill her without taking any damage, which allowed her to win so easily.

If Reiwa were to fight her with all her might, it would undoubtedly be a tough battle, and she would have to use all her trump cards to defeat her opponent.

However, it should be noted that Reiwa is just an ordinary fifth-level enlightened being. If he had encountered a fifth-level enlightened being with higher talent and foundation today, he would probably have been defeated.

Enhancing our strength is imperative!
Grandma knew what she was thinking and said, "That's not a problem. You only integrated the three parts of Phoenix Luck that you regained, but you didn't truly integrate it with your Phoenix Vein Technique. Also, your spiritual skill, the Swan Sword Technique, is good, but it's only one spiritual skill. Compared with the real geniuses of the South Sea Academy, it's still a bit lacking."

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up. "Master has a spiritual technique even more powerful than the Swan Sword Technique?"

"What's wrong with that?" Grandma was amused by the girl's reaction: "As long as you're strong enough, Grandma can also have spirit skills of rank nine or above!"

Lin Zhao took a deep breath.

The strongest spiritual skill she knew of on the Tianhuang Continent was only rank nine, and her Lin family didn't even have a rank eight spiritual skill. Now, hearing that her grandmother actually had a spiritual skill of rank nine or higher, Lin Zhao couldn't help but lament her narrow-mindedness once again.

As the sun reached its zenith in the sky, Lin Zhao glanced at Ling He and said, "The competition has begun."

Reiwa's back tensed up involuntarily.

Lin Zhao gave him a half-smile. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word. But letting you out is impossible. You'll have to stay inside my protective barrier for the next seven days."

Lin Zhao then placed another restriction on the Immortal Binding Rope: "Seven days later, you will be able to move freely and make sounds, but by then you will have already been eliminated."

A cultivator in the Enlightenment stage could go hungry for ten days or half a month without any problem. In addition, with the arrangements made by his grandmother around him, Lin Zhao was not worried that anyone would discover him in advance.

After leaving the cave, Lin Zhao followed her grandmother's instructions and plunged into the depths of the jungle.

The aura lurking in the shadows shifted slightly, as if hesitating whether to follow.

Thousands of miles away, inside the South China Sea Academy, in a lavishly decorated room, several elders looked at the images of the freshmen competition in various parts of the jungle displayed on a spirit crystal on a wall. When they saw Lin Zhao's actions, they all frowned.

An elderly man with white eyebrows was the first to speak, "Doesn't Lin Zhao know that the higher the level of the spirit beasts inside, the more difficult it is to deal with them? If she really encounters one, she won't be able to handle it at all?"

The unshaven middle-aged man shook his head: "Young and impetuous, he still needs to be tempered."

An old man said with a smile, "I think this child has her own ideas."

When he spoke, the others in the room looked at him respectfully.

If Lin Zhao were here, she would surely be surprised to find that this elderly man of considerable status was the one she had bowed to on the day of enrollment registration.

"Oh? Elder Xianyun thinks so highly of her?" A beautiful woman with long hair tied up high looked at Lin Zhao in the picture with a smile: "If this child is really as Elder says... then I will take care of the trouble she caused at Cloud Peak."

The South China Sea College is incredibly well-informed.

They knew Lin Zhao was going to enroll as soon as she won the spot, but they still didn't make any move about her going to Cloud Peak. Firstly, Lin Zhao hadn't officially enrolled yet, and as Cloud Peak Immortal Venerable said, it wasn't worth offending a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator for the sake of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection unenrolled disciple.

However, if Lin Zhaoruo formally enrolls and has already demonstrated that he has advanced from the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment to the Enlightenment stage in less than half a month, then that would be a different story.

South China Sea Academy doesn't like to cause trouble, but it's never afraid of it. The white-browed old man's eyebrows twitched slightly, he thought for a moment, and ultimately said nothing.

The middle-aged man, however, didn't seem to care: "One level of enlightenment, how could she possibly rebel? She can just stay quiet for a while and get into school smoothly, right? Offending Jialan for a moment of anger, and that Ji Xiao, which one of them can she possibly resist?"

The old man sitting in the middle chuckled and stopped arguing.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhao, unaware that his actions of venturing deep into the jungle were being observed by the South China Sea leadership, quickly grabbed a spirit-avoiding cloak.

These are things that her grandmother told her to buy before she started school.

"This cloak can isolate your aura. Once you wear it, spirit beasts and cultivators below the seventh rank will not be able to detect your aura unless they can see you," Grandma explained. "So it's normal that it's a bit expensive."

Lin Zhao felt her heart bleed when she heard the last sentence.

This thing is more than just expensive; it cost her fifty million low-grade spirit stones!
It took almost a third of the money Lin Mang and Yao Yun gave him to buy it.

However, the effect was remarkable; no high-level spirit beasts discovered her along the way.

Wearing a cloak, Lin Zhao quietly found a dry cave.

"Set up a barrier here and begin to excavate the Phoenix Luck you have retrieved."

After Lin Zhao finished setting up the barrier, the chick slowly floated out from the tattered scroll in the ring.

Lin Zhao noticed that the chicks seemed to have solidified a bit, grown bigger, and their feathers had also changed.

"Grandma, has your spirit recovered somewhat?"

Grandma nodded: "Now, maintaining a humanoid soul for ten to fifteen days is no problem, and using power below the Nascent Soul stage is not an issue."

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted. Could the influence of this three-tenths Phoenix Luck really be so great?
As Grandma's chick figure slowly transformed into that of an old woman, a crystal-clear jade bottle stood upright in her hand.

"It's time to deal with this thing." Grandma looked at the gray aura in the jade bottle with complicated eyes.

Lin Zhao looked at the floating gray aura and asked, "What is this?"

"There are some things you are not qualified to know right now, but I have to let you know them in advance." Grandma released it, enveloping the gray aura in the Phoenix Flame.

"This is a consciousness entity outside the cultivation world. It's unknown when this kind of consciousness entity appeared. Previously, it only existed in some minor planes, relying on people possessed by extraterrestrial spirits. These extraterrestrial spirits called it a 'system.' They cooperated to absorb the fortune of the chosen ones in these minor planes. At that time, the major mortal realms suffered the most. These mortal realms were still small planes in themselves, but they were severely harmed by this evil thought. Moreover, when the fortune of a plane was almost completely absorbed, it would bring the extraterrestrial spirits to the next plane to wreak havoc."

As Grandma spoke, her tone gradually filled with hatred: "When the fortunes of a plane are severed, and no geniuses are born for a long time, and no benevolent thoughts prevail, evil thoughts run rampant, then destruction will come. There was a time when the major planes of the cultivation world waged a battle to eradicate evil thoughts from other realms, but it was too late. Several mortal planes, even if saved, were already teetering on the brink of collapse, their inhabitants ravaged, and nearly destroyed. To preserve these mortal planes, the major planes had no choice but to merge them into the Mortal Realm. You should know that the original five creator gods created more than just these planes..."

Looking at the gray aura, Lin Zhao, being as intelligent as she was, could easily understand what her grandmother meant.

"You mean, Chen Luoluo's method of stealing my Phoenix Luck was because of this?"

This tiny thought actually has such great power?

"Don't underestimate him! This is just a thought. The opponent hidden behind him is a truly terrifying existence. It once caused the cultivation world a lot of trouble just by relying on mortals. Now this thing has spread to the spiritual realm of the cultivation world. I can't even imagine how many major planes the power behind this thought has infiltrated."
