Chapter 743 Killing and Punishing the Heart

The location of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was much more remote than Lin Zhao had imagined; it was hard to imagine that this was the home of a once-powerful clan that rivaled the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Lin Zhao asked the guide he had hired for three spirit gold coins, "Young man, are you sure this is the residence of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan?"

Along the way, she noticed that the residences of some top-tier powers were in better locations than the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's!

This is not Lin Zhao's personal prejudice, but rather because the choice of location is extremely important for cultivators in both the upper and lower realms. A good residence, rich in immortal spiritual energy, can bring great benefits and considerable gains to the clan.

Especially in places where powerful forces like those in the Upper Realm live together, the better the place, the higher the level of the forces living there, and the invisible increase in wealth that can be brought to the family is immeasurable.

Even if the Phoenix Clan has declined, it shouldn't have fallen to the point of being compared with some second-rate forces, right?
The young man leading the way knew what Lin Zhao was thinking. After all, many people in the Immortal Realm who were unfamiliar with the current situation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had the same reaction after learning the current address of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

"My lord, you may not know this, but although the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is indeed not so weak as to have fallen to this level, the allocation of resources and residences in the Northern Region of the True Spirit Realm depends on the situation of the younger generation. Although the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's strong members are still among the transcendent forces in the True Spirit Realm, in recent years, their younger generation has become increasingly uneven in quality, and even compared with some strong second-rate forces, they are somewhat unable to reach their level."

Lin Zhao's expression was somewhat subtle: "I remember that Huang Yue, the young master of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, has quite good aptitude?"

The guide gave Lin Zhao a strange look, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Are you new to the True Spirit Realm, sir?"

Lin Zhao: "?" Can you tell from this that I am not a native of the Upper Realm?
Upon arriving in the Upper Realm, Lin Zhao learned that it was not a single plane, but rather three planes. To distinguish them from the Lower Realm, the cultivators of the Upper Realm named these three planes the True Spirit Realm, the True Martial Realm, and the True Dharma Realm.

Among them, the True Martial Realm and the True Dharma Realm are of equal strength, while the True Spirit Realm is the strongest.

Generally speaking, when a cultivator from the lower realm passes through the Ascension Gate, the Ascension Gate will automatically transport them to a suitable plane based on their aptitude.

Of course, it doesn't mean that cultivators who enter the True Law and True Martial realms will stay here for life. Once they enter the Upper Realm, they will have the qualification to travel between the three major planes.

However, if you want to go to other dimensions, you will have to bear the corresponding price.

Lin Zhao only learned about these things from Zuo Yuan's gradual narration after arriving here. After asking several people for directions and hiring a guide with spiritual gold, Lin Zhao also learned that he had arrived in the True Spirit Realm.

The True Spirit Realm is also the strongest plane in the cultivation world, where all the most powerful forces in the cultivation world gather.

Despite the miserable state of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan in the True Spirit Plane, they would still be considered a top ten power in the True Law Plane and True Martial Plane. This shows that although the True Spirit Realm is one of the three upper realms along with the other two, it has an overwhelming dominance over the other two realms.

However, precisely because the True Spirit Realm is so powerful, the pressure it faces is considerable.

The size of a True Spirit Realm is almost equal to the total size of all the planes created by the Ancestral Phoenix.

The True Spirit Realm is further divided into five domains: the four domains of east, south, west, and north, and the central domain.

The central region is the strongest, home to overlord-level forces like the Seven Star Palace and the Ancient Dragon Clan, a stark contrast to the current Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Lin Zhao, deeply saddened by the decline of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, nodded, assuming they had reached their settlement. However, the guide continued to lead her further and further afield, taking many twists and turns.

Lin Zhao was a little surprised. If she hadn't been certain that the other party was just a Great Perfection Immortal and wouldn't have the guts to deceive her, she would have already stopped him and questioned him thoroughly.

"If we go any further, wouldn't the Phoenix Clan be relegated to a place even worse than the dwellings of ordinary second-rate powers?"

Unable to contain his doubts any longer, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask.

The guide scratched his head and shook his head: "It's really...it's really true, sir. If I had to say, the younger generation of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan isn't that bad. Among second-rate forces, their disciples can be considered among the top three."

The young guide was unsure of the relationship between the young Immortal King who was going to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. If they were enemies, the guide didn't seem to be as jealous or scheming as others when the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was mentioned. If they were friends, the guide seemed completely unaware of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's current predicament.

He still held some reverence and pity for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, who had made many sacrifices for the cultivation world, and had some goodwill towards them. He said, "It's just that Lady Huang Yue, although she is called the young master, is no longer among the younger generation. It's just that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan leader dares not abdicate. Once she, the Immortal Emperor, abdicates, the status of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will be even more dangerous. And Lady Huang Yue, although she is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, is ultimately alone and cannot support the clan."

Lin Zhao listened in silence.

"However, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has not been without promising young talents in recent years. The only son of the previous Heavenly Phoenix Clan's young master, Young Master Qu Shu, although only a Heavenly Phoenix, has already reached the Great Perfection of the Upper Immortal realm at a young age. Once he breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will no longer be suppressed to the level of a first-rate power."

If the younger generation has even one Grand Luo Golden Immortal, and the strongest among them reaches the Immortal King level, it means that this force has the foundation to sit in the top tier of forces.

The strongest member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is undoubtedly the younger generation. What they lack now is the foundation among the younger generation. Although Qu Shu is good, he is not enough to turn the tide. A Great Perfection Immortal is not nearly as good as the three young masters of the Ancient Dragon Clan who are almost at the limit of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the gap between a Celestial Immortal and a Great Luo Golden Immortal...

Lin Zhao knew that if it weren't for the immense power of the evil thoughts from the other world he had absorbed, and the support of the will of the plane, he wouldn't have reached his current level of cultivation.

While these chosen ones from the upper realm possess unique advantages in cultivation, none of them can compare to the resources Lin Zhao has obtained in terms of the will of the plane and the source of immortal spiritual energy.

It takes countless ordinary immortals tens of thousands of years to go from the Great Perfection of the Upper Immortal to the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Even if Qu Shu is a genius, it would be difficult for him to win the top prize in the next election of the younger generation in the Northern Region.

Thinking this through, Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Don't the veteran powerhouses of other forces in the Northern Region have any objections to this way of allocating resources?"

The guide glanced around mysteriously and said, "Of course there are, but this matter isn't up to us in the Northern Region; it's the rules set by the big shots in the Central Region."

Lin Zhao understood; it was the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's enemies who had specifically created this rule in response to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's current predicament.

That's really... like killing someone by breaking their spirit.
