After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 858 King-level Divine Beast
Although it's called a team competition, it's really just about putting everyone in one place to compete for points; the rules are simple and clear.

Jin Ya frowned and asked, "Does the points-based competition mean that as long as you get the most points, you can do anything?"

The referee casually replied, "Theoretically, that's how it is."

Lin Zhao's lips twitched.

That's the theory, but in reality, if you were to actually attack someone on the field, you'd have to consider the Northern Region Grand Competition organizers and the power behind the person you want to kill.

After all, although life and death on the field are left to fate, even cultivators cannot be completely independent of any power.

But if you're not afraid, that's a different story.

This is the source of the confidence that the young master of Lingxiao Sect was determined to kill Lin Zhao in the team competition.

He had a perfectly legitimate excuse to kill Lin Zhao during the team competition, but unfortunately, before he could make a move, he was possessed by his own father, who was severely injured as a result.

Lin Zhao thought of the young master of Lingxiao Sect and subconsciously focused his gaze on the people of Bihai Palace. The leader was naturally Ji Qing, but at this moment Ji Qing's aura was somewhat unstable.

Lin Zhao looked closely and was surprised to find that Ji Qing's cultivation level was approaching that of a Quasi-Immortal King.

It seems that the death of the young master of Lingxiao Sect has indeed made Ji Qing let go of his obsession, and his cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds.

What Lin Zhao could sense, the young master of Futian Pavilion could also sense. He looked at Ji Qing with a hint of resentment and said, "Lin Zhao is a monster, but how come you're about to become a Celestial King so quickly?"

Ji Qing smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "I still need at least three to five years to reach the level of a Celestial King."

The difference between a Quasi-Immortal King and an Immortal King may seem to be only one word, but without becoming an Immortal King, one will never be qualified to reach the ranks of the strongest in the upper realm of the cultivation world.

Only a Celestial King can gain the approval of the Upper Realm.

“Three to five years…” The young master of Futian Pavilion’s lips twitched: “You’d better not say anything, or I’m worried I’ll have a heart attack.”

If he were to come, it would probably take him three to five years to reach the level of a Quasi-Immortal King, let alone from Quasi-Immortal King to Immortal King. Normally speaking, it would take him at least ten years.

“However, the Northern Heaven Secret Realm will open after this competition. Perhaps I can catch up with you there,” the young master of Futian Pavilion paused for a moment, thinking of the generous rewards in the secret realm, and finally felt more confident.

If we're talking about pure talent, he pales in comparison to Lin Zhao, and even to Ji Qing. But he's been pretty lucky.

Ji Qing didn't refute his words.

After all, in the cultivation world, sometimes luck is indeed more important than talent, and the young master of Futian Pavilion is indeed quite lucky.

"Alright, let's go in."

The young master of Futian Pavilion followed Ji Qing into the venue.

The two factions are naturally allies because of the marriage between the two individuals, and since the team competition allows for the use of all means, it will certainly not prevent alliances between factions.

Ji Qing originally wanted to form an alliance with Lin Zhao, but before he could speak, he saw the Red Brocade Rat Clan approaching. Remembering the Red Jade of the Red Brocade Rat Clan whom Lin Zhao had contracted, Ji Qing wisely refrained from asking.

The young master of Futian Pavilion said, "The Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Red Brocade Rat Clan have formed an alliance? These rats certainly know how to pick their trump cards."

There was indeed a hint of sourness in his tone. After all, everyone present knew that Lin Zhao was a genuine Celestial King. Even if the other teams joined forces, they might not be a match for Lin Zhao.

Although their Futian Pavilion hadn't formed a feud with the Tianhuang Clan and Lin Zhao like the Lingxiao Sect, their relationship wasn't very good either. The Bihai Palace, on the other hand, had a decent relationship with Lin Zhao, but even Ji Qing hadn't tried to curry favor with them, let alone him.

So the Red Brocade Rat Clan stood alongside the Heavenly Phoenix Clan amidst the envious and disdainful gazes of the crowd.

Only after they stood here did they feel a sense of unease, as if they were being pricked by thorns.

The reason was simple: they were eyeing one of their golden buds.

Lin Zhao slapped Jin Ya on the head to suppress her little thoughts.

Jin Ya rubbed her head, swallowed hard, and tried her best to suppress her appetite, asking Lin Zhao, "Is it really not allowed?"

Lin Zhao said, "No."

After she finished speaking, she moved Hongyu out.

Hongyu's cultivation level is only one step away from that of a Celestial King. It seems that she has not neglected her cultivation during her time in the Blue Duck Secret Realm.

Given the upper limit of talent in the Red Brocade Rat Clan, to have reached this level of cultivation at this age, it seems that Hongyu is indeed the most talented among the younger generation of the Red Brocade Rat Clan.

Lin Zhao asked thoughtfully, "Can you sense the situation of the cultivators here?"

Hongyu nodded and sensed it.

Although she didn't understand why Lin Zhao, who clearly possessed a strong spiritual perception, would release her, she naturally obeyed his orders.

When she sensed the various auras, Hongyu opened her eyes and looked at Lin Zhao in shock: "Master, the cultivators' auras are all below that of Immortal Kings, which should be the level of normal team members in the competition. But..."

Lin Zhao continued, picking up where she left off, "But there are many divine beasts, and they surpass the level of Immortal King, right?"

The biggest difference between the team competition and the previous individual and doubles competitions is that contracted divine beasts are allowed to participate. All means can be used, including all contracted creatures.

This was also one of the reliances of the young master of Lingxiao Sect who died young.

The young master of Lingxiao Sect possesses a Celestial King-level contracted beast. Given that Lingxiao Sect is among the top five powers in the Northern Region, it's highly likely that the young masters of other sects wouldn't also possess Celestial King-level contracted beasts.

Hongyu looked ashamed: "This subordinate is incompetent and unable to share the master's burdens."

Lin Zhao waved his hand: "I had sensed the aura of a Celestial King stirring around before, but I couldn't be sure if it was the referee's or a contestant's contracted beast. Having you around makes things much more convenient."

Divine beasts at the Celestial King level are quite adept at concealing their aura; otherwise, they wouldn't have grown to this level. If it weren't for the special talent of the Red Brocade Rat Clan, Hongyu probably wouldn't be able to be certain that they were divine beasts.

Lin Zhao said, "Let's take it one step at a time."

She was not afraid of opponents at the Celestial King level, but as long as she was not afraid, if these Celestial King level divine beasts attacked her as a group, she could only hold them off. However, this would make the Heavenly Phoenix Clan and the Red Brocade Rat Clan the target of everyone's attacks.

"This team competition is definitely the most selective one," Lin Zhao said, loosening her wrist. "If only Qu Shu could come."

A peak Immortal King is here, and he's also a divine beast, the Heavenly Phoenix. In terms of cultivation and bloodline, he's completely overwhelming!
While thinking, Lin Zhao said, "Let's split into several groups and go hunt for points tokens."

After saying that, Lin Zhao took out a pile of jade pieces from his Qiankun bag: "I have drawn communication talismans on these spirit jade pieces. Within three days, they will allow us to communicate with each other. The light spots on them represent the location of each jade piece. Please take one."
