Chapter 208: Two Gatekeepers
Grandma Honghu noticed Lin Zhao's thoughts and sighed, "Little girl, too much wisdom will lead to harm. It's not too late for you to give up cooperating with him now."
Lin Zhao asked, "Master, do you also know the cause of the blue duck's death?"
"As a guardian of Zuhuang, I watched her die in front of me, but I was powerless to stop her. I watched as that crazy little girl, born crazy, dragged the monster formed by the evil thoughts of another world and was buried here together."
Although she had long guessed about the identity of her master, Lin Zhao was still shocked when she heard Grandma Honghu acknowledge it for the first time.
Grandma Honghu sighed heavily, "I wanted to wait until you defeated Ji Wantang before telling you this. After all, although you have already faced the evil thoughts from other worlds, you still don't know enough about their horror. The lower-level ones control the visitors from other worlds in disguise as systems to invade the world of cultivation. The higher-level evil thoughts from other worlds can transform into entities after plundering enough luck and power. Once they transform into entities, their strength is comparable to that of true immortals. Even worse, as I told you before, they can forcibly control the carrier, regardless of whether the carrier lives or dies."
Lin Zhao's breathing stagnated as he thought of the system that he had been blocking: "So if we allow what we caught to develop further, will it also become a physical entity?"
Grandma Honghu gave a positive answer: "Yes, once they become entities or control carriers, the stronger they are, the greater the threat to the world of cultivation. Just like the demons crave human flesh and blood, these evil thoughts from other worlds crave to plunder all the energy of the world of cultivation."
As she spoke, she turned to herself: "My master's name is Feng Xiao. I was once one of the five guardians under Zu Huang. At that time, my master should have been called Bai Huang Feng Xiao."
"Did the teacher also fall because of the evil thoughts from another world?"
Grandma Honghu, or Feng Xiao's voice became a little weak: "If I could die in battle with my master, it would be an honor. But my teacher's death is not glorious. It is related to the younger generation of the Honghu clan. I never thought that the evil thoughts from another world could control the True Phoenix species."
Lin Zhao probably guessed something: "Teacher, I will avenge you and help the White Phoenix clan regain its status."
Feng Xiao smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I am a little afraid of your little girl's brain. You also understand why this secret realm exists."
As he spoke, Feng Xiao sneered at Yun Zhong's previous words: "Outsiders think that it was Master Zu Huang who buried Lan Fu here, but in fact it was the little girl who chose to die.
“That little girl was young after all. She chose to die together with him, but she did not really eliminate the evil thoughts from the other world. This gave the evil thoughts from the other world an opportunity to devour all the living things here, turning the surrounding land into a barren land, and cutting off the connection with the protection of Master Zuhuang. He also took this opportunity to entangle his thoughts with this land.
"In order to stop the influence of the evil thoughts from the other world, the little girl gave up her dead body and fought in the spirit state, suppressing the will of the evil thoughts from the other world with her core power. In order to prevent the evil thoughts from coming to destroy her core power and release the evil thoughts from the other world to cause trouble in the cultivation world, she transformed her body into a secret realm and sent her inheritance into the spirit world that the evil thoughts from the other world could not enter, waiting for future generations to come and find her.
“The three rains that occur in this land every three years are actually to dispel the evil aura of the otherworldly beings here, to prevent their accomplices from coming, and also to open a passage to the secret realm.
"This kid wants Lan Fu's inheritance, so he has to face the evil thought from another world that killed Lan Fu. Little girl, if you help him, it means you will also have to face him."
After hearing this, Lin Zhao already understood how brutal the battle was back then. Even Zu Huang's daughter had to die to end the war.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Traitor, how despicable."
Grandma Honghu sighed: "The strongest evil thoughts in the other world are never their strength, but their means of instigating people."
Even the True Phoenix species can be controlled by it because their faith is not firm, which shows how terrifying it is.
Lin Zhao sneered and said, "Since you are so powerful, I must learn from you."
From the time when Phoenix Luck was taken away, to later when he went to the Thunder Palace and learned that Su Bai Bufan had been promoted to the Golden Core stage, to now.
She and the evil thoughts from another world have long been enemies to the death.
"How long can an evil thought from another world that has been suppressed for countless tens of thousands of years survive under the shock of Blue Duck's inheritance?"
However, Lin Zhao's expression was a little strange as he spoke, and he asked, "Master, did the master from the Little White Thunder Palace also fight with Zu Huang?"
"About the same. He was born a little later than me, and is also one of the Ancestral Phoenix Guardians.
"After the death of the Ancestral Phoenix, we watched the Sky Phoenix Clan gradually decline. We, the True Phoenix species, were constantly marginalized by the upper realm. However, ten thousand years ago, when Honghu's status had not been lowered, he and I were both in the upper realm. It was not until Honghu's status was lowered that the Honghu Clan was forced to move to the Ancestral Phoenix Continent. I was also ambushed at this time and had to keep my remaining soul in the scroll. By chance, I came to the Sky Phoenix Continent, and you saw what happened afterwards."
Having witnessed the great strength of the Tianhuang clan when Zuhuang was in power, the two old men were distressed by the subsequent decline and fall of the Tianhuang clan.
If Lord Zuhuang’s children were all here, or if the Tianhuang clan produced another figure like Zuhuang, why would it have come to this?
However, the Tianhuang clan all blamed the Ancestral Phoenix for not leaving the core power of the origin to their descendants. They only relied on the strength of the Ancestral Phoenix bloodline and never considered becoming stronger on their own.
"This is one of the reasons why I am so focused on training you. In addition to wanting you to help me revive, I also want you to help me restore the great power of the Sky Phoenix Clan. Don't be in a hurry to reject me. You now have the Sky Phoenix Bone Sword, my Honghu Spirit, Fang Dai's Thunderbird Spirit, and Qingluan Spirit. If you can't do it, then I guess no one in this world can."
Hearing this, Lin Zhao understood: "So this is what Master Xiaobai meant at the beginning."
"Of course, this is mainly out of your selfish desire. You still have the soul of the Ancestral Dragon, so you can choose other paths. With your qualifications, your future is bright no matter what you choose. I will spare no effort to train you."
Lin Zhao laughed: "Teacher, what are you talking about! I will definitely fight the evil thoughts from the other world to the end. Since I have received the gift from heaven, I should use my strength to turn the tide. I don't know much about the Tianhuang clan, but if you want them to become stronger, I will give it a try."
After that, Lin Zhao spoke to Yun Zhong and said, "You can enter the spirit world, but how can I enter?"
Yun Zhong said: "Your Phoenix Luck is the best stepping stone. My spirit will lead the way for you, but whether you can enter or not depends on you."
Lin Zhao nodded, "Let's set up a protective formation around us and start."
Yun Zhong and Lin Zhao split their forces into two groups, Lin Zhao set up the formation while Yun Zhong formed the seal. After Lin Zhao had set up the formation, Yun Zhong also prepared the seal to guide Lin Zhao's soul.
Lin Zhao followed his instructions, sat cross-legged, and slowly released her spirit.
Seeing that Lin Zhao released his soul without hesitation and followed him, Yun Zhong was also a little surprised at Lin Zhao's trust in him.
Although in fact Lin Zhao was not afraid of him doing bad things because she had Grandma Honghu in charge.
But it was obvious that Lin Zhao's reaction made Yun Zhong somewhat happy: "Follow me."
Lin Zhao only felt that his soul seemed to have a body, and followed a faint white light in front of him to a dilapidated gate.
"A newcomer?" Two girls with pigtails beside the gate looked at the two of them and first glanced at Yun Zhong. "It's just a remnant soul. It looks like a clone of the soul. How boring."
As they spoke, the two men fixed their gazes on Lin Zhao, their eyes shining with the light of seeing a rare species.
"How strange!" The little girl in red clothes appeared in front of Lin Zhao in the blink of an eye.
“Ancient Phoenix Luck is so stable and has been used to the extreme?” The girl in green clothes circled around Lin Zhao with a smile.
"I seem to have smelled the scent of phoenix luck on her."
"It's that crazy woman who crushed three thousand souls from the upper realm by herself! Her name is Ji Wantang!"
