Chapter 622 Agreement reached
There is only one like him in heaven and on earth.

Ji Wantang.

Even though he had never met this renowned beauty from both the upper and lower realms, the name instantly came to mind when he saw her elegance beneath that red dress.

Ji Wantang reached out her hand, and two figures were flung towards her.

They were a man and a woman. Although their fate was unknown, they were no ordinary people who could keep a complete corpse under Ji Wantang's control. Lin Zhao quickly caught them.

"These two idiots wanted to come to the Heavenly Phoenix Plane, but they almost died in the spatial turbulence. I saw them on the way and brought them over. They even tried to attack me, and I beat them to the point of barely having a breath left. But I reckon you can save them, right?"

Lin Zhao caught the two of them and, upon discovering that they also possessed the Phoenix Luck, immediately understood why Ji Wantang had spared their lives.

Those who are blessed with the Phoenix's destiny possess the will of the world and are a formidable fighting force in the battle against evil thoughts from other worlds.

"You didn't kill them outright this time?" Knowing this, Lin Zhao still teased, feeding the two pills as he spoke, and then handing them over to You Shen.

Even before Lin Zhao finished speaking, Ji Wantang could understand what she was trying to say.

Ji Wantang sneered: "Their combined fortune is not even a fraction of your Ancient Phoenix Fortune. I have had Ancient Phoenix Fortune for so many years and I still haven't been able to surpass you, which means that absorbing Phoenix Fortune doesn't benefit me much."

Lin Zhao never understood Ji Wantang's logic, nor did she need to try to understand it.

"I invited you here not to help me. On the contrary, the Ancestral Spirit Realm might need my help?"

Ji Wantang leaned against the towering ancient tree behind her, a hint of mockery appearing on her flawless face: "Would it kill you to stop beating around the bush?"

Lin Zhao shrugged: "If I were to be blunt with you, you would use that as an excuse to start a fight with me any minute now, and I'm not in a very good state right now."

Ji Wantang naturally noticed the undisguised exhaustion on Lin Zhao's face, and curled her lips: "Do you think I'd consider your condition before I fight you?"

She didn't hold back when Lin Zhao was seriously injured.

Lin Zhao nodded: "Then come on, kill me."

Ji Wantang: "..."

Realizing she was no match for Lin Zhao in terms of physical strength, and perhaps even speechless in conversation, her gaze turned colder: "Are you threatening me?"

Lin Zhao answered seriously, "Yes, I'm threatening you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword expanded and formed a sword shield, easily blocking Ji Wantang's scythe that was swung from a distance.

With this scythe, Lin Zhao also sensed Ji Wantang's cultivation level.

The other party has also entered the tribulation stage.

However, it is not very stable, only at the early stage of tribulation, and its cultivation is somewhat mixed, as if it is mixed with a lot of gray gas.

That's... an evil thought from another world?
Knowing that her condition couldn't be hidden from Lin Zhao's eyes after this move, Ji Wantang withdrew the Death Scythe and said somewhat unwillingly, "You're almost a True Immortal? No wonder you came to me so confidently."

Lin Zhao sheathed the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword: "If you're going to kill me at the drop of a hat, I really wouldn't dare to face you without some confidence."

Ji Wantang twitched her lips, tapped her slender finger on the ring, and three scrolls flew out of her hand.

"These are the three Phoenix Vein Techniques I possess. Now that I have fully embraced the path of the Ancestral Spirit, the Ancestral Phoenix's techniques are indeed unnecessary for me. However, Lin Zhao, I hope you can make good use of them."

From the very beginning of her journey down the path of devouring, she knew she would not be the successor to the Ancestral Phoenix.

But she will not regret taking this path. Born with the destiny of a blood phoenix, she was destined to walk a bloody path; the path of the ancestral phoenix was not suitable for her.

Lin Zhao looked at the scroll that flew out of Ji Wantang's hand and transformed into streaks of white pythons, and couldn't help but curse: "At this point, you still want to fight me. You're something else."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the Dragon and Phoenix Breath in her hand erupted. The three white giant pythons seemed to have seen some natural enemy, and when they touched Lin Zhao's palm, they completely retreated back into the scroll.

Lin Zhao opened the three scrolls, looked at them, and nodded: "It's the Phoenix Vein Technique, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? The Ancestral Spirit Plane needs ten enhanced furnace formations, ten thousand Qiankun Mirrors, and the support of cultivators from the plane created by the Ancestral Phoenix."

Lin Zhao nodded, weighing the Phoenix Vein Manual in his hand: "Okay, but I want to know, how do you coexist with the evil thoughts from another world?"

Ji Wantang's expression was indifferent: "It's not only you who can refine the power of evil thoughts from another world for your own use."

"So, the ancestral spirits of the past also followed the path of devouring, absorbing all energy for their own use, researching sacrificial formations, and finally resonating with the evil thoughts of another world, colluding with each other?"

Ji Wantang said, "That's absolutely right, so he didn't die unjustly."

Then, Ji Wantang raised her hand, and the Death Scythe reappeared in her hand. "Before you provide this support to the Ancestral Spirit Plane, I will assist you in cleaning up the filth in the plane created by the Ancestral Phoenix."

Lin Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, this time sincerely thanking him: "Thank you."

Ji Wantang shook her head and looked around at the world.

"I haven't been back for a long time."

This is where she was born, but she left when she was young for various reasons. If she had to say what kind of feelings she had, Ji Wantang felt that there weren't many.

Therefore, when she was killed by the power of the Heavenly Phoenix Plane, Ji Wantang did not feel sad. She only lamented the difference between herself and Lin Zhao.

Therefore, when she first learned about the situation in the Tianhuang Plane, she chose to remain indifferent and observe.

If Lin Zhao hadn't reappeared, turned the tide, saved the collapsing empire, and ensured the stability of the Tianhuang Plane, she wouldn't have come to this plane.

However, after arriving at this place, Ji Wantang felt the gradually increasing immortal spiritual energy within her body helping her resist the evil thoughts from another world. Only then did she realize that this plane was still friendly to her.

Although it made a clear choice between the two, after Ji Wantang returned, it always believed that Ji Wantang would protect the daughter it conceived when facing external enemies, no matter how weak the power of the plane was.

This made Ji Wantang feel amused.

"So I'm not just helping you. It's also about giving my Ji family a foothold in this world."

Lin Zhao was a little surprised by these words.

"What did you mean by that expression?" Ji Wantang asked.

Lin Zhao spoke frankly: "I always thought someone like you would look down on the Ji family?"

Ji Wantang ignored those words and, gripping the Death Scythe, vanished from the world.

Lin Zhao didn't try to stop her. She glanced at the man and woman in You Shen's hand, then at the scroll in her own.

"I'll hand them over to the alchemists of the Heavenly Phoenix Plane for treatment. I'm going to go into seclusion in the secret realm."

This breakthrough should make me a true immortal.
