Chapter 777 The War of the Heavens
You Shen also knew that the matter between his parents was indeed a bit strange. In his early years, because he had come into contact with few normal marriages among the ancient dragon clans, You Shen had not realized this problem. Later, when he grew up a bit and saw the situation in other clans, he realized just how unreliable his biological father was.

But since his biological father had never mistreated him, You Shen had never really thought about the use of this small island.

"That senior from the Ancient Dragon Clan said that the Heavenly Cold Heart you need is on the isolated island in the far north. What is that?"

"It's a divine object that can completely help me master the Yuan Kong Body. Also, that's Uncle Youxuan, a protector of our Ancient Dragon Clan."

Lin Zhao was shocked: "A Celestial Emperor-level expert is only considered a protector in the Ancient Dragon Clan?"

You Shen said, "Elder You Xuan is a Five Yang Immortal Emperor. To advance further, one must be at least a Seven Yang Immortal Emperor or higher in the clan. For example, my father is a Half-Step Immortal Venerable. He is an elder. Above elders are Venerable Elders, and Venerable Elders must be at the Immortal Venerable level."

Lin Zhao clicked his tongue. Looking at it this way, the strongest of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was only a Three Yang Immortal Emperor. If he were in the Ancient Dragon Clan, he could only become a protector, not even an elder.

"However, the position of the protector is not necessarily much lower than that of the elder. For example, the four protectors of Heaven, Earth, Black and Yellow can also participate in the council of elders and decide on some major matters of the ancient dragon clan. However, in terms of power, they are inferior to the elders."

Lin Zhao sighed, "I suppose the Celestial King is even less significant in your Ancient Dragon Clan."

In the lower realm, Lin Zhao heard of the Thousand Autumn Flower and the Thousand Ancient Emperor, and thought that the Immortal Emperor was the pinnacle of the cultivation world. However, he did not expect that such a transcendent existence could not even be considered an elder in the Ancient Dragon Clan.

“That’s not entirely true. There are differences among Immortal Kings. For example, someone like you who advances to Immortal King at a young age is a candidate for elder or clan leader. As long as you don’t cause any major trouble and your strength steadily reaches that position, you’ll definitely get an elder position.” You Shen said, then looked at Lin Zhao as if he had thought of something. “However, for you, with your Ancestral Dragon Form, even if your strength doesn’t reach the Seven Yang Immortal Emperor level or above, you can still secure an elder position. It’s just that some of the older guys in the clan might feel resentful.”

If Lin Zhao can understand this, then there's no way things can be balanced.

Those who can cultivate to the level of Immortal Emperor are all exceptionally talented and diligent in their studies. They finally reached this level, even surpassing the level of Seven Yang Immortal Emperor. Yet, in the end, they have to sit on equal footing with a junior who is only at the level of a minor Immortal King. Even Lin Zhao himself felt a little unbalanced.

Lin Zhao smiled wryly and said, "It seems that I dare not go to your clan before my strength reaches the level of an Immortal Emperor."

You Shen said, "Why wouldn't they dare? Those old fogies know that the Ancestral Dragon Sealing Heaven Flame on You Chen's body was given to you by you, how dare they be disrespectful to you?"

Lin Zhao's expression shifted slightly. She hadn't expected You Chen to tell the Ancient Dragon Clan about his secret help to her back then. This was undoubtedly You Chen using his status as the young master to gain favor and legitimize Lin Zhao.

After all, Lin Zhao, an outsider, obtained the Ancestral Dragon Form, possessed the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear, and even participated in the Dragon Soul Baptism, yet he seemed to offer no substantial help to the Ancient Dragon Clan from beginning to end. The upper echelons of the Ancient Dragon Clan might not say anything, but it's uncertain what the middle, middle, and even lower-level members of the clan would think.

However, if Lin Zhao helps the young master of the Ancient Dragon Clan become even stronger, then that's another story.

This ancient, powerful race is very concerned about the strength of their future successors, as this represents their ranking in the war among the heavens of the upper realm.

When Lin Zhao heard You Shen mention the term "War of the Heavens," he couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"

You Shen said, "It's a challenge specifically designed to target evil thoughts from other worlds. Only the top 100 forces in the cultivation world can participate in this challenge. It's not about looking down on forces; any other forces that participate will simply be sending themselves to their deaths."

Lin Zhao vaguely realized something, and then heard You Shen add, "Back then, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan once dominated the rankings multiple times in the initial War of the Heavens. It was only in one of the Wars of the Heavens that they were besieged and annihilated by half of the evil thoughts from other realms, which led them to fall into the abyss they are in now." Lin Zhao could guess the rest without You Shen saying it. Today, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is no longer qualified to participate in the War of the Heavens.

"If the grand competitions of the various planes in the upper realm are merely for comparing the younger generation of various forces and distributing shared resources, then the War of the Heavens is the moment to truly determine the ranking of the various forces."

Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask, "What if the winner of the Grand Competition and the winner of the Battle of the Heavens are not from the same faction?"

You Shen said, "Naturally, it depends on the rankings of the Battle of the Heavens. While the cultivation world values ​​the younger generation, in the end, it still comes down to hard power. However, the resources for the first place in the Grand Competition will definitely be much better than before. These decisions were made jointly by the major powers in the Central Region."

Lin Zhao shook his head, sighing that the waters of the Upper Realm were far deeper than any plane in the Lower Realm.

With several major powers making a joint decision, the amount of scheming and conflict involved, and who will ultimately receive these resources, are all unknowns.

Shaking her head, Lin Zhao stopped thinking about these things. With her current cultivation level, she could barely manage to get first place in the competition, let alone participate in the War of the Heavens.

However, if there is enough time, Lin Zhao really wants to see what the War of the Heavens is all about.

“Let’s go, let’s go to this remote island in the far north and ask Qu Shu where his father is.”

To be honest, Lin Zhao was extremely curious about the backgrounds of Qu Shu's parents, who could produce such a clever and insightful son.

Lin Zhao had already learned a great deal about Qu Shu's mother, Huang Zhao, from various Heavenly Phoenixes.

However, the information provided is inconsistent. Most people in the Tianhuang Clan say that she was a devoted lover who gave up so many high-quality Tianfengs in the clan for the sake of Qu Shu's father, a celestial beast, and eloped with him. As a result, she was plotted against by evil thoughts from another world and died outside. It took her younger brother and Qu Shu to plan together until they obtained the Thousand Autumn Flower before they could move her grave back to the Tianhuang Cemetery.

However, according to her attendants, Huang Zhao was a wise and decisive young master of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan who did not place much importance on matters of the heart.

That's so contradictory.

Perhaps if he met Qu Shu's biological father, all these questions could be answered.

Lin Zhao summoned the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and looked at You Shen: "You control the bow yourself?"

When You Shen was unwell before, Lin Zhao would naturally take care of him. However, since You Shen's Yuan Kong body had almost recovered, and knowing his feelings, Lin Zhao, adhering to the principle of men and women not touching each other and wanting to end his thoughts, was unwilling to take him with her.

You Shen summoned the Purple Emperor Dragon Bow: "I'll take you there. By the way, you don't seem to have the aura of the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear on you?"

Lin Zhao said, "I'll leave it to Su Bai. Judging by the time, he should have already gone to the upper realm. He's probably in the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan. We can just ask him for it then."
