Chapter 591 Ancient Dragon Altar
Lin Zhao's brow twitched at You Shen's unusual tone, and combined with You Shen's previous words, it wasn't hard to guess what You Shen meant.

If the Upper Realm can still put up a difficult fight against the evil thoughts of the other world, then the Lower Realm, which has been unknowingly infiltrated by these evil thoughts over the years, is almost powerless to resist. In the end, in order to preserve the fighting power and the flame of cultivation, the Upper Realm will completely abandon the Lower Realm.

Docking the tail.

It sounds cruel, but it's a choice that has to be made when things are tough.

Lin Zhao could understand the considerations of the upper realm, but she remained noncommittal about the idea that severing the tail could preserve the cultivation world.

If the upper realm severs its connection with the lower realm, can it rid itself of the evil thoughts of the lower realm?

You Shen tugged at her hand: "Let's go, it's still some distance from the Ancient Dragon Altar."

Lin Zhao followed behind You Shen, organizing his thoughts as he walked. Finally, he said with self-affirmation, "I still think that the otherworldly evil influence you mentioned is somewhat different from the possessed souls I have seen. The corruptors you mentioned seem more like demons."

Demons.

It would be fine if this race didn't appear many times, but once it did, it reminded Lin Zhao of the time when she used the power of the ancestral spirit to convert demonic energy and spiritual energy into each other.

The Ancestral Spirit... The Ancestral Spirit Plane is one of the known planes most severely corrupted by evil thoughts from other worlds. Could this be related to the Ancestral Spirit's past betrayal of the Creator God?

As Lin Zhao's thoughts took shape, he sought confirmation from You Shen: "Do those who have been corrupted also yearn for the flesh and blood of their original kind?"

You Shen nodded: "Yes, that's indeed very similar to the Demon Clan."

You Shen thought for a moment and then briefly described the difference between the two to Lin Zhao: "However, the demons do not harm themselves and cooperate as a group, while the polluters do not have the concept of a group."

Seemingly feeling that simply saying it wasn't enough to make sense, You Shen added a few more descriptive words.

"It's not unusual for those with severe infection to devour their own parents and children. After a long period of being without their own kind, they will even choose to devour themselves. They will feel pain in this process. After all, they have only changed, but they have not lost their rationality. They still retain their wisdom. It's just that they can't suppress the devouring desires born under the control of the evil thoughts from another world, and they even think that this is the right thing to do."

Finally, You Shen concluded: "They will not feel sad about devouring themselves and killing their own relatives, but rather feel happy. Moreover, they will continue to spread their evil thoughts from the other world to more people. Those who are willing to fall with them will be kept temporarily, while those who are not will be eaten directly."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but recall the words Chen Luoluo had first said to her.

If that system hadn't been cleared, if Chen Luoluo hadn't obtained the fortune, perhaps she wouldn't have accepted her past self even until her soul dissipated.

The answer was confirmed, and Lin Zhao felt a chill run through her body.

This is something even more terrifying than the demon race. They are formless and intangible, constantly devouring the resources of life in a plane as their own nourishment. Once a plane is emptied, they invade the next plane.

But what terrified Lin Zhao even more was the idea that the demon race might be a byproduct of evil thoughts from another world.

The relationship between the power of ancestral spirits and demonic spirits is complex. Ancestral spirits and evil thoughts from other worlds have cooperated before, and the two share some similar habits.

If the ancestral spirits, after collaborating with the evil thoughts from another world, used their own power to create the demon race based on the existing races and by incorporating some characteristics of those corrupted by the evil thoughts from another world, then that would make perfect sense.

Sang Ziyuan is not the birthplace of the demon race at all, but rather a formation-like existence that transforms normal cultivators into demons!
No wonder the demon race was willing to cooperate with evil thoughts from another world so soon after its birth, and no wonder the demon race has not been extinct all these years.

According to this logic, as long as evil thoughts from other worlds exist, the demon race will never perish.

The thought in his mind was too horrifying, so Lin Zhao didn't say it aloud. Instead, he asked, "In all these years of fighting against the evil thoughts from other realms in the Upper Realm, how many of them have been completely eliminated?" You Shen gave a bitter smile: "There are some, but not many. Because most cultivators can only kill them, and killing them only stops their growth. To completely eliminate them, you need the world's original power left by the Creator God, or the power attached to the world's will. But even in the Upper Realm, there aren't many beings who possess this kind of original power."

Lin Zhao asked, "So, there are still beings who possess the power of origin?"

"Yes, but most of them need to be supported by the upper realm to prevent these supports from being corrupted by the evil thoughts of the other world. Otherwise, the cultivation world will truly become the domain of the evil thoughts of the other world."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue.

You Shen suddenly stopped: "We've arrived."

What came into view was a rather luxurious and magnificent black tower, standing tall in the center of the soul area of ​​the Tribulation Transcending stage, like a silent warrior.

Lin Zhao praised the Ancient Dragon Clan's efforts once again: "As expected of the location of the Ancient Dragon Spirit Altar."

"This is just one of them. The Ancient Dragon Spirit Altar has areas set up in the five stages of the Divine Soul World: the Nascent Soul stage, the Body Integration stage, the Tribulation Transcending stage, the True Immortal stage, and the Upper Immortal stage. Cultivators above the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage do not need to enter the Ancient Dragon Spirit Altar."

You Shen exchanged a few words with the two men guarding the tower entrance, then led Lin Zhao inside.

The two walked uphill, climbing several steps, when You Shen suddenly stopped.

Lin Zhao saw a young man.

The young man, dressed in white with ink-black hair, looked at Lin Zhao and You Shen with an imperceptible hint of amusement and inquiry. His features were not particularly outstanding, but together they formed a pleasing and handsome face, which was filled with a faint smile.

"Long time no see, Second Brother."

Lin Zhao sensed the disgust and alienation emanating from You Shen's body, sighed, stepped forward, and greeted him with a smile.

"Young Master Youli, it's been a long time."

You Li's gaze fell on Lin Zhao. He was quite used to You Shen's dislike for him. Even though Lin Zhao still looked like Zhao Ling'er, he could still smile and disgust Lin Zhao: "Miss Zhao Zhao is getting more and more beautiful. If she were to show her true face, I think she would definitely be one of the top ten beauties in the Upper Realm."

Having grown accustomed to being disgusted, Lin Zhao glanced at the young man walking briskly behind You Li, tugged at You Shen's arm, and gave him a wink.

You Shen also noticed the purple-haired youth striding towards them, so he ignored You Li's polite greetings and greeted the young man who came later: "Big brother, are you and third brother also planning to come to the Ancient Dragon Spirit Altar this time? Why not go to the Immortal Area?"

The purple-haired youth walked to You Li's side and smiled as he answered You Shen's question: "Aren't the spirit altars in the different areas all the same? Soul baptism is related to bloodline and talent, but has nothing to do with strength."

He looked at Lin Zhao, a flash of purple light emanating from his body. With the help of some magical artifacts, Lin Zhao's disguise was no match for him.

He laughed and said, "This must be Miss Lin? You are indeed more beautiful in person. Youchen is still lacking in ethereal beauty, and Ningxian is lacking in spirituality. Unlike Miss Lin, you look like a goddess."

Is it acceptable to scrutinize one's appearance and compare it to others upon first meeting?

If it weren't for the fact that the other person's gaze didn't possess the arrogance of someone in a superior looking down at someone in a subordinate position, Lin Zhao would almost have thought he was being provoked.

Lin Zhao looked at You Shen, who shook her head at her, indicating that this person's brain just wasn't working properly and that she wasn't deliberately provoking her.

She lowered her eyes, and after gaining a preliminary understanding of the three young masters of the Ancient Dragon Clan, she roughly grasped the situation of the younger generation of the Ancient Dragon Clan. So she smiled politely and said, "It's just appearance. Lin Zhao is not worthy of being called a goddess."
