Chapter 733 Arrival at the Ancestral Spirit
Ning Wengui had always thought that Su Bai and Qu Shu's rejection of him was simply because they couldn't stand the presence of other people around Lin Zhao. Putting himself in their shoes, if he had already become Lin Zhao's Daoist partner and another man appeared by her side, Ning Wengui would have been somewhat bothered, and naturally, he wouldn't have been very friendly on the surface.

He wasn't unaware that the relationship between Su Bai and Qu Shu wasn't as tense as he thought, but he had never considered it in detail. Now it seems that if it weren't for Mu Mu's existence, he might not even be qualified to be compared with these two.

Seeing the change in Ning Wengui's expression, Su Bai knew that he had come to his senses. "However, our agreement is not important. Now let's go see Sister Zhao Zhao together."

……

As Lin Zhao sat facing Ning Wengui with Mu Mu in her arms, she felt incredibly awkward. But no matter what, the matter still needed to be resolved. So she coughed, considered her words carefully, and asked as tactfully as possible, "Fellow Daoist Ning... what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Ning Wengui gave a wry smile: "We've known each other since childhood, why be so polite today?"

Lin Zhao then remembered that she had a little one in her arms, and it was indeed not good to be so distant from Mu Mu's biological father in front of her.

Moreover, judging from Su Bai's expression and Ning Wengui's answer, Lin Zhao probably knew the result of their discussion, so she simply didn't beat around the bush, "Once the matter in the lower realm is resolved, would you be willing to go with Mumu to see my parents?"

Ning Wengui looked up at Lin Zhao, and after a long while, nodded.

"of course."

After saying this, Lin Zhao didn't know what else to say.

To be fair, if it weren't for Mu Mu, she and Ning Wengui would never have gotten to this point. But now that it's a fait accompli, Lin Zhao will try her best to give him the best she can.

"I will handle the matters concerning Xiaobai and the Dragon Phoenix Empire, but Mumu's background must not be known to others. Just say that she is our daughter with purple eyes and a glass body. She will still be raised here by you. If the immortal sect is willing, she can also go to live in the Dragon Phoenix Empire's imperial palace."

In short, Mu Mu cannot be left as a motherless wild child. She is the eldest daughter of the Dragon-Phoenix Emperor, and this identity must be given to her.

Ning Wengui nodded: "Right now, the Ancestral Dragon Plane is at a critical moment in its battle against the evil thoughts of the other world. These things are not urgent for now. You can go and do your thing. I'll take care of Mumu and the Ancestral Dragon Plane."

Lin Zhao: "..." Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Su Bai remained silent, only giving Ning Wengui a deep look. When he and Lin Zhao left the Ancestral Dragon Plane together, Su Bai suddenly said, "Actually, he is indeed the most suitable for Sister Zhao Zhao. I can see that his star orbit is second only to Qu Shu and matches you."

Hearing this, Lin Zhao recalled Qu Shu's theory of celestial destiny and skepticism: "If we really follow this theory, wouldn't I be bound to that guy You Li for all eternity?"

Just thinking about Lin Zhao might make one shudder.

Those otherworldly evil thoughts were instilled into her memories. She and Youli had been husband and wife for many lifetimes. Were there ever times when their feelings for each other were particularly deep? Lin Zhao couldn't sense it.

Because those images always gave her a sense of unreality and disconnect, when she saw Youli now, she could only sense the scheming and unfathomable killing intent beneath his smile, and she couldn't feel the affection between husband and wife in those images at all.

But Youli does have these memories, Lin Zhao is certain of it.

You could tell from the way he looked at me.

That kind of struggling, resentful malice and mockery, disguised by gentleness and verbal affection, conceals the underlying scheming and contempt.

They fell in love with each other in a time and space they never saw, and harbored suspicions and doubts in this palace of stars.

They remain each other's most familiar people and their best enemies. Su Bai paused for a moment. He didn't know much about You Li. Even as the Creator God, he was still limited by a certain space-time in a plane that didn't belong to him. He didn't understand the bond between Lin Zhao and You Li, but he could sense the vigilance and killing intent that Lin Zhao exuded when he mentioned this person.

"Let's go find Ji Wantang." Lin Zhao didn't want to waste any more breath on You Li. Rather than wasting his energy on him, it would be better to kill more evil thoughts from other worlds.

Su Bai had no objection and followed Lin Zhao across several planes before finally arriving at the Ancestral Spirit Plane.

Upon arriving here, the two were stunned by the sight before them.

It took Lin Zhao a long time to finally manage to squeeze out a sentence: "What's going on now?"

The small world of the Ancestral Spirit Plane they arrived in did not exhibit the scene of otherworldly evil thoughts spreading everywhere and the sky being dyed gray, nor did it present the situation of the world being clear and bright after the otherworldly evil thoughts were eradicated.

The sky here was a blood-red color that stretched to the horizon, and even the air was filled with the stench of blood.

However... there was indeed no trace of any otherworldly evil intent left, only the stark white bones underground and layers of corpses on the ground.

Lin Zhao and Su Bai paused for a while before they came to their senses.

“Here…” Su Bai thought for a moment and described it as, “Truly, birds have vanished from a thousand mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths.”

Lin Zhao nudged him: "You still have the energy to joke at a time like this?"

Su Bai shrugged: "That's in line with the Ancestral Spirit's style."

He waved his hand, and a white light rose up in this world. This white light transformed into gentle breezes, dispersing the blood in the air and melting the corpses on the ground and the white bones underground into part of the earth. This world finally revealed its true form.

It wasn't a desolate grayness and deathly stillness when otherworldly evil thoughts dominated, but rather blue skies, white clouds, and a vast expanse of yellow sand.

This place may have once been a place of green hills and clear waters, but all its vitality has been plundered by the evil thoughts of another world, and unlike the Three Sovereigns' plane, there are still living beings left.

There is not a drop of water here, not a single living creature; it is an absolute death zone.

Lin Zhao tried to sense whether there were any Asura ghosts or other beings from the Ancestral Spirit Realm present here.

But... none of them exist.

"They were probably all devoured by Ji Wantang," Lin Zhao said after a moment's thought.

The Ancestral Spirit Plane is the worst of all the lower realms. The Three Emperors Plane may still have some native cultivators, but the Ancestral Spirit Plane... is inherently a place of evil and yin. Before Ji Wantang arrived, there were no native beings that had not been corrupted by the evil thoughts of other worlds.

Only Ji Wantang had the audacity to slaughter all the beings in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, leaving none alive.
At least Lin Zhao knew that she didn't have that kind of mentality.

"Even if she's not a Great Luo Golden Immortal now, she's almost there." Lin Zhao concluded after sensing the states of the various planes created by the Ancestral Spirit for a while.

Although a large portion of the evil thoughts from other dimensions remained unpurged, those devoured by Ji Wantang were enough for her to rise to an extremely terrifying realm.
