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

Chapter 544 Yin Yang Pearl

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, the spiritual energy in Lin Zhao's hand materialized and slowly dissipated. She looked at the teetering peaks, raised her hand, and pressed down. The broken mountain ranges seemed to be supported back by invisible giant hands, maintaining the stability of the area.

Upon seeing this, everyone who was fighting stopped.

Stabilizing the situation is nothing special, after all, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage already possess the power to change the world. But Lin Zhao's one-move annihilation of the imperial dynasty's leader is something they cannot contend with.

It took the leader of the Royal Dynasty a long time to catch his breath. He leaped up, clutching his chest, and returned to the battlefield. The Royal Dynasty team members quickly gathered around him.

"What a formidable early-stage Fusion Realm cultivator." The leader of the Imperial Dynasty spat out a mouthful of blood, but showed no fear despite Lin Zhao's strength.

"No wonder the Emperor said he must capture her alive." The leader of the imperial team steadied himself with the help of his teammates, licked his lips, and fixed his gaze on Lin Zhao, his expression revealing undisguised greed and desire.

His reaction made Lin Zhao realize something: "You left a backup plan in the secret realm?"

The leader of the imperial delegation burst into laughter: "How clever!"

If he didn't have a solid backup plan, how could he be so confident?

The leader of the imperial delegation spoke in one direction, "Elder Xuan, please make your move!"

Elder?
To be appointed as an elder by the imperial dynasty, one must at least be at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

If it were just a normal early or mid-stage Tribulation Transcending Realm, Lin Zhao thought the problem wouldn't be so serious; she could still put up a fight with her spiritual techniques.

However, if it were someone in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm or at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, even if Lin Zhao risked his life, he would probably only be able to severely injure the opponent and die himself.

Even someone with Lin Zhao's talent cannot ignore the difference between the Fusion stage and the Tribulation stage.

When that aged figure appeared at the call of the imperial leader, Lin Zhao's mood plummeted.

The worst-case scenario we anticipated has occurred: this is a Great Perfection stage cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, perhaps even a top-tier one.
"This is a bit tricky." Lin Zhao clicked his tongue, but his expression didn't show the usual helplessness one would feel when facing a Tribulation Transcending Perfection cultivator.

Elder Xuan's appearance not only made Lin Zhao feel troubled, but Xuan You and Mo Xiuhan also looked at the leader of the imperial team at the same time.

"The imperial dynasty actually sent a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage into this place? This violates the rules!"

The leader of the imperial dynasty simply scoffed at their questions and anger: "This trial is the most terrifying one in many years. What's wrong with our imperial dynasty having an extra layer of protection? Besides, Elder Xuan is only there to protect us; he doesn't take a share of the spoils from this cemetery."

His unreasonable arguments made Xuan You and Mo Xiuhan blush with embarrassment.

Lin Zhao tilted his head and glanced at Elder Xuan not far away: "The Five Lords' restriction that only cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending stage can enter must be related to the rules of this cemetery, right? I guess the difficulty of the cemetery for the trial participants is determined by their cultivation level. You secretly slipped in a Tribulation Transcending Great Perfection cultivator, so this time the cemetery will raise the difficulty to the Tribulation Transcending stage level."

Mo Xiuhan then realized why a Dream Eater at the Tribulation Transcending stage had set a trap for them at the beginning.

"So it's you bunch of bastards." Xuan You looked at the Royal Dynasty team members with disdain.

The leader of the imperial dynasty laughed and said, "All's fair in war, Xuan You. You really haven't grasped the essence of the Black Lord at all."

As he spoke, he shifted the focus, pointing the finger at Lin Zhao for the increased difficulty of this cemetery: "Besides, if we're talking about the culprit who raised the difficulty of this cemetery, shouldn't it be you, Fellow Daoist Lin? A mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator with billions of spiritual energy reserves, it's truly astonishing."

Hearing his unreasonable arguments, Mo Xiuhan was about to curse, but Lin Zhao pressed down on his shoulder and shook her head.

She summoned the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear, gripped it tightly, and transmitted her voice to the Jiaolong and Black Dragon clan members hidden around her. As for the Immortal Sect members, they had already consciously moved closer to Lin Zhao's back. Even someone as proud and arrogant as Mo Xiuhan, after Lin Zhao sent the leader of the Imperial Dynasty, who possessed a foundation of ten billion spiritual energy, flying in a single exchange, no longer dared to speak ill of Lin Zhao.

After all, that's how the cultivation world works: the strong are respected, and might makes right.

Elder Xuan slowly approached: "Lin Zhao, is it? Come with me, perhaps you will be the heir to the throne."

Lin Zhao asked with amusement, "Did the Emperor order you to capture me alive so that I would become his heir? Or does your dynasty enjoy having its heirs become lovers?"

Her words tore away all the unspoken, sordid implications of Elder Xuan's words, successfully causing Elder Xuan's face to darken.

The emperor's desire to capture Lin Zhao was certainly not motivated by a desire to make her his heir.

When Lin Zhao appeared before the emperor, he was immediately captivated by her.

Of course, the emperor was not the kind of man who was so obsessed with women that he was not lacking in them. Lin Zhao was indeed stunningly beautiful, but the emperor's harem was full of beauties, and there were some who were even more beautiful than Lin Zhao.

The emperor valued the fact that, according to his special technique, Lin Zhao's primordial yin was still intact.

At such a young age, she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation, and her appearance is absolutely stunning. If the Emperor could obtain the primordial yin essence of such a heavenly beauty, he would be certain that his cultivation could reach an even higher level!

For someone of the Emperor's caliber, very few things could tempt him. But Lin Zhao happened to meet that condition, which is why he spared no expense and took out a celestial pill that could conceal the aura of the other five masters, sending Elder Xuan to his grave, all in order to capture Lin Zhao alive.

However, the emperor still did not expect Lin Zhao's talent to be so terrifying.

A cultivator in the early stages of the Integration Realm possesses the spiritual foundation that only those in the Tribulation Transcending Realm can achieve.

This girl is probably the daughter of a powerful clan from the upper realm.

However, the Emperor is not without connections in the Upper Realm, and he himself is a very charismatic figure. If something were to really happen between him and Lin Zhao, Elder Xuan was somewhat confident that the forces behind Lin Zhao might just do as a favor.

Elder Xuan shook his head and kindly advised, "Little girl, you are too young to understand the benefits of yin and yang harmony for cultivation. Once I bring you to the Emperor's side, with the Emperor's profound resources, your cultivation will also improve. Wouldn't that be better?"

Lin Zhao was shocked by his shamelessness. Tian Mengyao, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore: "Bullshit! That old bastard Emperor is old enough to be Lin Zhao's grandfather. How dare he make a move on Lin Zhao? If you want any benefits, go and have some fun with that old bastard Emperor. Don't come here to disgust the people of our immortal sect!"

Since Elder Xuan advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, no one in the Integration stage has dared to speak to him like that. He was immediately berated by Tian Mengyao, who also insulted the emperor he respected most. He sneered angrily, "It seems you don't want to listen to me. Fine, since you have no shame, don't blame me for not giving you any face."

He raised his aged hand, and a jet-black bead rose from his palm.

Black and white colors flowed around the bead.

Ning Wengui's pupils contracted when he saw the bead: "The Yin-Yang Bead."

The Yin-Yang Pearl ranks seventh among the top ten immortal artifacts in the Ancestral Dragon Plane and is the immortal artifact that made the emperor famous.

Legend has it that whenever the Emperor performs Yin-Yang Harmony, he nourishes the Yin-Yang Pearl with the purest Yin-Yang spiritual energy. The Yin-Yang energies within the pearl possess their own spirituality, and when released, the entire world is divided into Yin and Yang realms, completely suppressing the enemy's spiritual energy and methods, and strengthening one's own condition.

Moreover, both the pressure on local authorities and the strengthening of oneself will intensify over time.

In other words, it's a magical artifact that provides area-of-effect buffs and deals damage.
