Chapter 607 Shock
Upon hearing Lin Zhao's words, Gu Lao asked with a half-smile, "Does Your Majesty mean that because of my relationship with the patriarch of the Bright Hall, I would collude with those traitors of the Bright Hall?"

Lin Zhao looked at him: "Whether it exists or not is something I will discuss with you later. What I want to say now is, Gu Qingfeng, is this how you treat me, the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor?"

Lin Zhao invoked the authority of the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, and even Gu Qingfeng dared not look at Lin Zhao with his previous ambiguous smile anymore.

"This old man has absolutely no intention of disrespecting His Majesty." Although he said this, everyone present could feel the arrogant aura emanating from Gu Qingfeng.

However, most of the elders, while not approving, could understand.
Lin Zhao is still too young.

Moreover, Lin Zhao has not stayed in the Ancestral Phoenix Empire for long since ascending the throne, and he has only been back for a short time this time.

Ultimately, firstly, they didn't know the true extent of Lin Zhao's cultivation, and secondly, they harbored resentment towards the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor for not having been in charge of the Ancestral Phoenix Empire for a long time.

After expressing his stance without much sincerity, Gu Qingfeng continued, "Your Majesty, you are still young and your cultivation is still shallow. You do not understand the vital importance we ten people hold for the Empire and the Royal Family. To doubt us without authorization will only shake Your Majesty's foundation."

Lin Zhao looked around at the other elders.

Elder Yun, unable to contain himself any longer, spoke up: "Gu Qingfeng, who are you threatening?"

Gu Qingfeng said calmly, "I am merely offering advice, Your Majesty. Honest advice may be hard to hear, but it is beneficial."

Elder Yun stood up, but Elder Feng quickly pulled him back down.

Regardless of Gu Qingfeng's character, they certainly couldn't afford to offend him while Lin Zhao's cultivation was still shallow.

After all, among the ten elders of the empire, only Chi Yan could be compared to Gu Qingfeng.

The Three Venerable Elders are transcendent beings who are not among their Ten Elders (powerful figures).

Lin Zhao raised her eyes, met the blatant arrogance in Shang Gu Qingfeng's eyes, and shook her head with a smile.

"It seems that even I, the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor, cannot suppress even the smallest internal affairs without absolute power. No wonder the outside world dares to launch a rebellion."

Gu Qingfeng quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I am absolutely loyal to you."

Lin Zhao looked at him and said in a gentle tone, "Loyalty? Fine, then kneel down before me now."

This statement surprised not only the other elders who disapproved of Gu Qingfeng's words and actions, but even Chi Yan looked at Lin Zhao in astonishment.

Gu Qingfeng was surprised that Lin Zhao did not continue to focus on the linguistic trap he had set, but instead used his status to intimidate him. His face immediately turned ashen.

"Does Your Majesty truly intend to act rashly with a formidable enemy at hand?"

Lin Zhao stood up: "I see that you call me 'Your Majesty' very happily, but my order is an imperial decree. How can you refuse? Since you are so confident in your cultivation that you refuse to obey the decree, then I will give you a chance to persuade me. If you can withstand a hundred moves from me, I will allow you to disobey the decree three times."

Blazing Flame couldn't help but ask, "Is Your Majesty mistaken?"

Why should Gu Qingfeng have to pass her a hundred moves? Shouldn't it be that she passed Gu Qingfeng a hundred moves?

It should be noted that although Gu Qingfeng is not a very good person, his cultivation level is a genuine late-stage True Immortal, and he is only one step away from advancing to the Great Perfection of True Immortal.

It seems that the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor was still a Nascent Soul cultivator two years ago, right?

Even if His Majesty is a genius, at most he is at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. With this level of cultivation... perhaps he has a chance of winning against a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but what about a True Immortal?
Are they really tired of living?

Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but sneer when he heard Lin Zhao's words: "Your Majesty is young and impetuous, which I can understand, but you don't have to be so obsessed with saving face."

Lin Zhao stepped forward, grabbed Gu Qingfeng by the collar amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, and tossed him into a corner of the hall like trash.

"I told you to hit him, didn't you hear me? You old fool who doesn't know what's good for him." Lin Zhao's move caught everyone off guard, and what was even more shocking was that she actually threw a late-stage True Immortal flying?

Even if Gu Qingfeng, a late-stage True Immortal, was completely unprepared, the spiritual foundation of a True Immortal, no matter how poor, would still be at least 50 billion spiritual flows. How could he be thrown out like a rag?

Elder Yun and Elder Feng exchanged a glance, their mouths agape in astonishment.

The woman standing at the head of the main hall was a weak Nascent Soul cultivator whom they had to protect with all their might two years ago, but now she is able to fight against a True Immortal with her own strength.

Fortunately, the materials used in the Ancestral Phoenix Palace were all extraordinary, and it managed to withstand the impact of Gu Qingfeng's body. However, the buildings in the corners were showing signs of cracking.

Gu Qingfeng quickly stood up, his eyes red as he looked at Lin Zhao.

At this moment, the way he looked at Lin Zhao was practically treasonous, but the humiliation and anger he felt from being casually thrown away by a junior had completely overwhelmed his reason.

"If Your Majesty insists on this, this old man has no choice but to comply!"

Lin Zhao crossed his arms and scoffed at his attempt to maintain his dignity. He summoned the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and pointed it at the top of the Imperial Palace: "Go up and fight."

The next moment, all the powerful figures in the hall disappeared at the same time and appeared in the sky tens of thousands of feet away from the Ancestral Phoenix Imperial Palace.

A cold wind howled high above. Lin Zhao stood suspended in mid-air, looking at the effeminate man opposite her, and flexed her wrists.

At this moment, Lin Zhao also sensed the other party's spiritual energy foundation.

It's roughly 350 billion Dao spirit streams?
It seems that Gu Qingfeng is also one of the best among the true immortals.

Cultivators begin to have spiritual flow as a symbol of their spiritual energy foundation from the Golden Core stage, and by the True Immortal stage, they have reached the limit of the amount of spiritual flow. Each step is a transformation from spiritual energy to immortal energy.

Therefore, for immortals above the True Immortal stage, the strength of a cultivator cannot be measured by the amount of spiritual energy.

The strength of immortals in combat is determined by their manifested immortal abodes, but these are not issues that Lin Zhao can consider at present.

Of course, this applies to ordinary cultivators who can ascend. It is said that monstrous geniuses with exceptional talent will complete this process during the Tribulation Transcending stage, and thus become true immortals directly after the tribulation. Such geniuses with exceptional talent can challenge upper immortals as true immortals.

Such prodigies are extremely rare, even in the cultivation world.

Those who can complete the conversion of some spiritual energy into immortal energy during the tribulation stage are already considered geniuses.

Lin Zhao sensed that Gu Qingfeng had already converted most of his spiritual energy into immortal energy.

This is probably the source of their arrogance.

However, do you really think that just because there are 350 billion spiritual flows, with most of the spiritual energy transformed into immortal energy, you have the right to swagger in front of me?

Lin Zhao took a step forward, releasing his cultivation level and spiritual energy, causing everyone's pupils to shrink.

"Late stage of Tribulation Transcending...it seems like it's almost at the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending? How could it have...three hundred billion spiritual energy reserves?!" Blazing Flame exclaimed in shock.

A spiritual energy foundation of 300 billion ounces is already quite impressive for a True Immortal, let alone someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage...

Elder Awu, standing beside the Blazing Flame, spoke thoughtfully: "Perhaps, when His Majesty ascends to the True Immortal realm, our Ancestral Phoenix Plane will see the first True Immortal with 999.9 billion Dao Spirit Streams since the Creator God."

Upon hearing this, Blazing Flame glanced at her sideways and said, "Ah Wu, this is the achievement of the Creator God."

Elder Awu smiled and said, "In less than two years, he has reached the Nascent Soul stage and is almost at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage. Who says that our Emperor cannot become a Creator God-level figure in the future?"

Blazing Flame opened his mouth, only to find that he couldn't utter a rebuttal.
