Chapter 608 Overpowering a True Immortal
The one who was most shocked to sense the spiritual energy in Lin Zhao was Gu Qingfeng.

Two years ago, he was still a junior in the Nascent Soul stage. He actually reached the Tribulation Transcending stage at such a terrifying speed, and his spiritual foundation is amazing.

Three hundred billion...

If Lin Zhao's previous status was earned through his extraordinary talent and achievements in the Imperial Election, his current position as the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor is secured through his own strength.

With such a profound spiritual foundation, even if he has 50 billion less than himself, he is a late-stage True Immortal, while Lin Zhao is merely a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

Even if he could actually defeat Lin Zhao, the remaining nine old men among the empire's top ten experts wouldn't let him speak as readily as before.

In the world of cultivation, regardless of power or influence, strength ultimately reigns supreme.

Without sufficient strength, even the Ancestral Phoenix Emperor must temporarily rely on external forces.

"No wonder His Majesty is so confident upon his return; it turns out he has such a strong foundation. However, his spiritual energy reserves of three hundred billion are still far less than those of this old minister."

Noticing the change in the other party's self-designation, Lin Zhao transformed the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword in his hand into a spear: "Much less? How much is it now?"

With the activation of both the Ancient Dragon Clan's spiritual technique and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's spiritual technique, which can simultaneously enhance one's spiritual foundation, Lin Zhao's spiritual foundation experienced another surge.

The increase was in billions, and it only stopped when it broke through the 360 ​​billion mark.

This increase was somewhat expected by Lin Zhao. After all, when she was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, these two spiritual techniques could help her increase her spiritual energy foundation by as much as two-thirds. Now, the increase is obviously not so obvious, only one-fifth of her original amount.

However, the spiritual foundation of Lin Zhao back then is naturally incomparable to that of Lin Zhao now.

This increase is the most terrifying spiritual technique enhancement that everyone has ever seen.

After all, even the most knowledgeable of the Empire's top ten experts had never witnessed a spiritual energy foundation that increased by 60 billion in one go; it was truly astonishing.

However, when such a bizarre thing happened to Lin Zhao, they suddenly found it acceptable that this Ancestral Phoenix Emperor could improve his cultivation so much in just two years.

While others might accept it, Gu Qingfeng, who was confronting Lin Zhao, simply couldn't accept it at all.

He didn't even dare to summon his own natal weapon, staring intently at Lin Zhao: "What kind of spiritual technique amplifies this? There isn't such a powerful spiritual technique in the national treasury!"

Lin Zhao looked at him: "Aren't you going to start? It's still useful if I start. If you can last a hundred moves against me, I will forgive your previous insolence."

These words reignited the anger that had subsided due to shock in Gu Qingfeng.

"Your Majesty is young and impetuous, but you do not realize that the gap between the Tribulation Transcending stage and the True Immortal stage cannot be bridged simply by increasing your spiritual energy! This old minister will now have the opportunity to exchange a few blows with Your Majesty!"

Even if Lin Zhao has increased her spiritual foundation, so what?
He is still a true immortal! A true immortal whose spiritual energy has been successfully transformed into a significant amount of immortal energy!

With a long, slender staff in hand, Gu Qingfeng took a step forward and charged towards Lin Zhao.

Contrary to Gu Qingfeng's somewhat effeminate appearance and slender physique, Gu Qingfeng is actually a physical cultivator. Although the staff is his natal weapon, he is most skilled in close combat.

This is why he was able to maintain his composure and confidence even after realizing that Lin Zhao's spiritual foundation had surpassed his own.

Gu Qingfeng swung his sword at Lin Zhao, whose spear met the staff. The spear and staff clashed, producing a muffled thud.

The next moment, the two of them stepped back simultaneously.

However, Lin Zhao only took half a step back to dissipate the impact from the other party, while Gu Qingfeng was forced to retreat more than ten steps, his palms covered in blood and flesh.

He looked at Lin Zhao in astonishment, never expecting that his pride and joy in close combat would be completely ineffective against Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao understood his thoughts at this moment, but he was too lazy to explain to the other party that his Golden Core stage opponent was a juvenile divine beast. Instead, he flicked the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Spear in his hand, activated the Soaring Dragon Step, and appeared behind Gu Qingfeng in the next moment. Gu Qingfeng was, after all, a person of considerable importance. The moment Lin Zhao appeared behind him, he adopted a defensive counterattack posture.

The spear and staff clashed again. Unlike the first time, when both sides were somewhat probing, this time, Lin Zhao poured spiritual energy into the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Spear.

Gu Qingfeng naturally did not yield an inch, infusing it with spiritual energy that already had the beginnings of immortality.

It's important to know that celestial energy can suppress spiritual energy.

When the spirits of heaven and earth encounter celestial energy that has transformed into its essence, they naturally yield.

In other words, the combat power of immortal energy and spiritual energy cannot be compared. If one had to say, perhaps even a hundred strands of spiritual energy wouldn't be able to match a single strand of immortal energy of the same magnitude.

Therefore, even though Gu Qingfeng's spiritual foundation was inferior and his physical body was also at a disadvantage, he still had confidence in himself.
However, Lin Zhao's expressionless shot sent him flying, completely shattering his last line of defense.

"How did you manage to convert spiritual energy into immortal energy as well? And..."

And it feels like it's been completely transformed?!

So what Lin Zhao just showed was not spiritual energy or inner strength?
Or is it ethereal beauty?!
Lin Zhao didn't know how to explain her situation. It was probably because all the spiritual energy and power she gained from her tribulation as she advanced came from the evil thoughts of the otherworld in the upper realm's divine soul world.

These otherworldly evil thoughts originally wreaked havoc in the upper realm and devoured a large amount of immortal energy, so the feedback to themselves is the manifestation of immortal energy, right?
Therefore, Lin Zhao's current spiritual foundation can be considered as immortal foundation in a certain sense. However, for the sake of comparison, it is still referred to as the number of Dao spiritual flows.

Once the immortal abode is established, the strength will no longer need to be calculated using spiritual energy.

Back then, the strength of an immortal was measured by the quality of their immortal abode and the amount of immortal energy within it.

It can be said that once one enters the ranks of the Immortals in the cultivation world, one has truly reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world. As for those who go beyond that, they are extremely rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, in the entire cultivation world.

However, Lin Zhao vaguely felt that she didn't need to wait until she became an Upper Immortal to open up her Immortal Abode. After all, she had already completed the transformation of immortal spiritual energy that others could only do in the True Immortal stage during her Tribulation Transcending stage. So it didn't seem strange that she could open up an Immortal Abode that only Upper Immortals could do in the True Immortal stage.

She didn't respond to Gu Qingfeng's words, but simply put away the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Spear. However, this did not mean that she would let Gu Qingfeng go.

Gu Qingfeng watched in horror as Lin Zhao raised his hand, golden light rising from his palm, and a giant phoenix phantom faintly floating behind him.

This is a phoenix-type spirit technique!

With Lin Zhao's current immortal aura and strength, if this palm really hits him, he will be crippled even if he doesn't die!

Gu Qingfeng gritted his teeth and activated the highest-level defensive magic artifact on his body.

However, this top-level defensive artifact only delayed the Emperor Phoenix Palm for a moment before being completely overwhelmed by the swift attack of the Emperor Phoenix Palm, allowing the fatal attack to land.
