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

Chapter 89 Accepting the Mission
Beyond the heavens, mountains rise higher and higher, their imposing forms disappearing into the darkness. At the end of the long river, a coffin crafted from mystic crystal is slowly pulled open by four withered hands.

The person sitting up in the coffin sat up, and four slender figures bowed down to him.

“It failed.” He pressed his brow, a faint, cold light slowly emanating from between his pale, icy fingers.

The entire world fell silent, and the blood-red river meandered beneath his coffin, drawing intricate paths across the desolate land.

He opened a mirror, and a stunningly beautiful figure appeared in it.

"Now that you have opened the Heavenly Mirror, it means that the Phoenix Maiden of Destiny has broken away from the path we set for you to befriend her. Yuhan, you are not from this world. Without the protection of a powerful chosen one, there is only one path. See if you are willing to take it."

……

Upon returning to the South China Sea Academy's territory, Lin Zhao immediately checked on the Azure Phoenix on his shoulder, which had fallen into a deep sleep after consuming the spirit snake.

She is all too aware of her current situation.

He's at the tenth level of the Enlightenment stage, but he has a cyan belt. If he were to appear directly in front of other students like this, it would be strange if they didn't rush up to challenge him.

The little blue phoenix's chubby body swayed slightly, but then remained still.

"Forget it, I'll just have to rely on myself. Sooner or later I'll have to face the Golden Core stage."

Besides, she's already been hunted down by powerful beings at the Nascent Soul and even Integration stages, so what's there to be afraid of at the Golden Core stage?

Seemingly sensing Lin Zhao's thoughts, Han Yan said, "I brought you back this time to go through all the procedures, and also to let you take on a mission."

Lin Zhao asked, "Is it the prefecture-level mission that the director mentioned before?"

"Yes, that mission was initially just a human-level mission. Later, many students in the Enlightenment stage went to that mortal realm but never returned, so it was upgraded to a terrestrial-level mission."

Lin Zhao asked, "Then why not have a Golden Core stage student go to pick them up?"

Han Yan said, "There are regulations in various planes that cultivators above the Golden Core stage are not allowed to enter the mortal realm."

The Golden Core stage marks the complete entry into the path of cultivation, where one can establish their own Dao heart. It is also from the Golden Core stage that the difference in talent between cultivators becomes truly visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, cultivators who have reached the Golden Core stage are not allowed to enter the mortal realm; this is a tacit rule in the cultivation world.

Lin Zhao was somewhat puzzled: "Are the teachers really that confident in me? That they believe I can complete it?"

Han Yan pondered for a moment, then sighed: "To be honest, we don't know if you can actually complete it, but if you can't, it means that the mortal realm is completely out of control, and the South China Sea will issue a regional cleanup order."

Lin Zhao's expression gradually turned serious.

The Purification Order means to completely destroy that mortal realm.

For cultivators, destroying a mortal realm is incredibly easy. However, it takes thousands of years for a mortal realm to develop. Keep in mind that a mortal's lifespan is only about a hundred years.

In the eyes of cultivators, mortals seem to be worthless, just as low-level cultivators are seen by high-level cultivators.

Countless thoughts raced through Lin Zhao's mind before he finally said, "I will do my best to complete this task."

Han Yan nodded: "Let's go. We'll tell everyone that you went on a mission, which will improve your reputation."

Lin Zhao said, "Thank you, teacher."

Han Yan gave her a meaningful look: "Achieving a good ranking for our South China Sea Academy in the mainland competition would be the true way to thank us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao immediately said nothing more.

I must take this opportunity to break through to the Golden Core stage while on this mission.

Only in this way can one officially obtain the cyan belt qualification at the South China Sea Academy, and only then can one have some skill in the continental competition.

"The Enlightenment Stage is still too weak." In the mission hall, Lin Zhao saw a bald man dozing off on a stool. When Han Yan saw him, she rubbed her temples with a headache and sent a palm strike at him.

"Aren't you going to wake up?" Han Yan urged impatiently.

The bald man was knocked to the ground by the slap. He got up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and said, "Who hit me? Are you tired of living?"

Han Yan watched him pretend without any expression.

"Bring out that Earth-level quest scroll from the mortal realm."

The bald man poked his shiny head out from behind the table. When he saw Han Yan, his pupils contracted: "Teacher Han Yan... I apologize for the poor hospitality."

Although he felt that a Nascent Soul stage cultivator had knocked him down, he wasn't afraid of any of the many Nascent Soul stage teachers in the academy. However, Han Yan was a different story.

Not to mention that Han Yan's husband is a powerful cultivator in the Integration Stage, it is Han Yan's own talent for cultivation that is what frightens him the most!

A rogue cultivator with no background reached the Nascent Soul stage in just a hundred years.

It's best not to provoke this woman if you can avoid offending her.

He carefully retrieved the Earth-level mission from the scroll.

There are quite a few Earth-level missions, and it would be really hard for him to find other ones, but there is only one Earth-level mission in the Mortal Realm, and it is also the only Earth-level mission that can be accessed by those at the Enlightenment stage. So he quickly found it and handed it to Han Yan. When he stood up, he saw the girl behind Han Yan, and his eyes lit up. At the same time, his bald head immediately became several shades brighter.

"Who is this?"

Han Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "This is the top freshman, Lin Zhao. If you have the guts, you can pursue her."

The bald man immediately became dejected.

If it were any other girl, he would definitely give it a try, just in case!

However, Lin Zhao was someone that several top scholars in the inner court had their eyes on, so he still didn't have the guts.

"Alright, teacher, please stop teasing me. I'm not that lucky." The bald man patted his head and gave Lin Zhao a kind smile: "Junior, I'm your senior, my name is Chi Xiao."

Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Senior?"

Looking at the bald head and his mature appearance, she thought he was also a teacher!
However, she quickly regained her composure and smiled politely at Chi Xiao, saying, "Hello, senior. Thank you very much."

Seeing that the first junior sister didn't call him "teacher," Chi Xiao felt incredibly refreshed: "Junior Sister Lin is beautiful and has good taste! Just because you called me 'senior,' I have to give you some advice. With your aptitude, if you can enter the Golden Core stage, you'll be close to the Inner Academy. Once you're in the Inner Academy, don't let any shady men fool you with their looks!"

Although Lin Zhao didn't know why the other person was telling her these things, she felt that the other person had no ill intentions, and she also found it easy to communicate with Chi Xiao because of his forthright manner. She immediately nodded and said, "Thank you."

Han Yan said coldly from the side, "Lin Zhao's vision is much higher than you think."

Chi Xiao's face fell. Was Teacher Han Yan subtly criticizing him?

As expected, the rumors that Teacher Hanyan is prejudiced against male students are true.

"Teacher, please don't belittle me. You know about Lin's situation; many people from both the inner and outer colleges are eyeing this bright star."

Upon hearing this, Han Yan looked at the girl's exquisite and flawless face and sighed.

Such beauty would make even a woman like herself swoon, let alone someone like the girl at South China Sea College with its skewed male-to-female ratio.

She handed the scroll to Lin Zhao and said, "I believe you have your own judgment. These matters of love between men and women should be considered at least after you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

Female cultivators are different from male cultivators; the lower their cultivation level, the more easily their Dao heart is disturbed by these emotions.

Especially for beauties like Lin Zhao, the saying "beautiful women often have tragic fates" has always been true, and it's all caused by love.
