Chapter 790 You Shen's Plan
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief agreed that it was indeed true. Other races might not be fully aware of just how strong the Red Brocade Rat Clan's treasure-hunting abilities were, but the Heavenly Phoenix Clan knew it all too well. Back when the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was still quite prosperous, there were Heavenly Phoenixes within the clan who had formed contracts with the Red Brocade Rat Clan. During that period, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan found quite a few treasures left behind by the Ancestral Phoenix.

The ancient battlefield, though now a place where the True Spirit Realm and other realms imprisoned evil thoughts from other worlds, was actually once the most prosperous place in ancient times. It was only because the evil thoughts from other worlds devoured most of its original essence that the beings of the True Spirit Realm had to give it up.

However, this does not mean that the ancient battlefield is truly a desolate place. It is only that the source of the energy has been consumed, but there are still many useful things left over from the time of the Creator God.

Lin Zhao might actually find something on this trip.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief said, "Then pay attention to the messages on the Heavenly Mirror. We will send you messages in real time before the competition, so remember to come back in time."

Lin Zhao nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, clan leader. Goodbye."

After leaving the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, Lin Zhao originally only planned to take Hongyu to the ancient battlefield, but You Shen said that he had finally gained complete control of his body and also planned to try his luck at the ancient battlefield.

Sensing the change in You Shen's aura, Lin Zhao asked thoughtfully, "Are you about to break through to the Immortal King realm?"

You Shen nodded: "It's really just one step away, as long as it gets a little more affected or stimulated."

This influence and stimulation clearly refers to the experience of the ancient battlefield.

Lin Zhao agreed with this.

For cultivators who practice the path of battle, nothing can ignite their fighting spirit more than combat.

"Which ancient battlefield are you planning to go to?" Lin Zhao asked curiously.

It should be noted that You Shen's current state is somewhat special, making him much stronger than an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal, but he is not a true Immortal King. If he chooses to fight against an otherworldly evil thought at the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, he might not be able to ignite his fighting spirit and break through that barrier. However, choosing an otherworldly evil thought at the level of an Immortal King would be too risky.

You Shen understood his current awkward situation and said, "I plan to challenge the weaker of the two remaining Immortal King-level otherworldly evil thoughts in this ancient battlefield of the Northern Region."

Lin Zhao was somewhat surprised. The remaining two otherworldly evil thoughts at the Immortal King level were both far stronger than the one he had fought before. Back then, he was still an Immortal King when he fought that otherworldly evil thought, and the battle lasted a very long time.

With You Shen's current cultivation level, wouldn't it be too risky?

Thinking this way, she asked, "The otherworldly evil thoughts at the Immortal King level can unleash power far exceeding that of cultivators at the same level. This is too risky. Why not first select a few otherworldly evil thoughts at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to fight, take that step, and then try to fight against the otherworldly evil thoughts at the Immortal King level?"

You Shen shook his head: "After the Dragon Soul Baptism, You Chen and You Quan both broke through to the Immortal King level, as did You Li. Now, among the direct descendants of the Ancient Dragon Clan, I am the only one who has not broken through to the Immortal King level."

Even with the limitations of the Yuan Kong Body, he was still the one with the highest cultivation and the strongest aptitude among his peers.

However, progress has been stagnant for too long due to the limitations of the Primordial Void Body.

You Shen didn't say anything on the surface, but it wasn't that he didn't care at all.

As a former prodigy, he cared more about his cultivation level and strength than anyone else.

Lin Zhao saw the same brilliance in You Shen's eyes as when he first descended from Yunding Mountain. He was slightly taken aback, then took out a handful of talismans from his pocket and handed them to him.

"I originally intended to use it as a backup plan, but now it seems you might need it."

You Shen glanced at the stack of talismans and didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Zhao. "If the Heavenly Phoenix Clan looks for you and I haven't met up with you in time, you should go participate in the Northern Region Grand Competition first. Also, if I manage to return alive this time, we'll meet in the Central Region Grand Competition, and I won't hold back then."

Lin Zhao chuckled lightly: "Alright, I'll be waiting to see your strength displayed in the Central Domain Grand Competition."

She also looked forward to seeing how far the first ancient dragon to break free of the Yuan Kong body in his youth would go.
Thinking this, after seeing You Shen off, Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror and saw that Jin Ya had replied with her plan and that she would soon be heading to the True Spirit Realm. Lin Zhao couldn't help but chuckle.

For the first time, Hongyu, who was standing behind her, sensed that Lin Zhao's mood had suddenly brightened, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there any good news?"

During the time she had been with Lin Zhao, she had rarely seen him show a particularly happy expression.

Lin Zhao said, "Hmm... I don't know if this is a good thing for you. The divine beast I initially contracted is about to ascend, and it has also completed a task I assigned to it before."

With Du Juan Huang Nu's success, Lin Zhao's plan to explore the evil thoughts of another world is half successful.

Once Jin Ya ascends to immortality, his plans with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will be able to be fully implemented.

In short, although the recent events were unplanned, they are fortunately still under control.

Lin Zhao let out a breath.

Hongyu still didn't understand: "Why do I not know if this is a good thing or not? Are the other race and my race natural enemies?"

She was about to say that there was nothing wrong with it, since most mythical beast races were natural enemies of the Red Brocade Rat Clan, and the Red Brocade Rat Clan was fearless.

But when she heard Lin Zhao mention the first divine beast race to be contracted, her expression froze.

She thought for a moment before cautiously asking to confirm, "It is indeed the Golden Crow clan, right?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "It's the Golden Crow Clan that you're thinking of, the ones who can use the power of the Crimson Sun."

Hongyu took a deep breath.

That's the Golden Crow Clan, a lineage with only one heir.

If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Crow clan's bloodline was so powerful that she wouldn't die unless the sun died, Hongyu would have reason to suspect that the Golden Crow clan had become extinct.

Today, my new master, whom I just signed a contract with, told me that she had once signed a contract with a golden crow.
Although she had continuously improved her understanding of Lin Zhao through her interactions with him, she found that every time Lin Zhao did something new, she could always improve her understanding of him again.

Hongyu looked at Lin Zhao for a while, then gave Lin Zhao a thumbs up.

Lin Zhao was both amused and exasperated by the other party's behavior: "When I made a contract with her, her parents were not around, and I had to use the power of the Ancestral Phoenix to complete the contract by a trick."

If Jin Ya's parents, who were like immortals, were still here, Lin Zhao believed they wouldn't even deign to give a mere shrimp like him a second glance.

“It’s different,” Hongyu said sincerely. “The Golden Crow race, regardless of their strength, looks down on all divine beasts except for the Ancestral Phoenix.”
