Chapter 746 Achieved
Before coming to the Upper Realm, Lin Zhao had already made plans for the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror.

The furnace and Qiankun Mirror she researched in the lower realm were crafted and drawn specifically for the various planes of the lower realm and are not applicable to the upper realm.

This was also Lin Zhao's plan with two options.

The difference between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm lies in the fact that the Upper Realm has a group of top-tier experts who have truly eliminated evil thoughts from other realms. Such forces can only enhance the Furnace and the Qiankun Mirror, and may even create some conflicts and conspiracies.

These two things are hope when the entire plane is in peril, but in the upper realm, where dragons and tigers roam, they become mere tools.

Therefore, Qiankun Mirror and Furnace Lin Zhao planned to cooperate with several trustworthy forces to distribute them.

The target of our defense is none other than the Seven Star Palace.

Fortunately, the Lower Realm Furnace and the Qiankun Mirror have been thoroughly studied. Lin Zhao set up a self-destruct program in them, so it's impossible for cultivators who have thoroughly studied the Furnace and the Qiankun Mirror or evil thoughts from other worlds to do anything to these two things. After all, in the Lower Realm, neither cultivators nor evil thoughts from other worlds have the ability to reverse these two magical artifacts before they self-destruct, unless the other party's cultivation level reaches the Immortal King level.

However, the lower realm does not allow the existence of powerhouses at the level of Celestial Kings.

This is why Lin Zhao is so fearless, but once he reaches the Upper Realm, everything will be different.

The Upper Realm is teeming with powerful figures and geniuses; Lin Zhao dared not casually take out the Qiankun Mirror and the Furnace.

The effects of these two things are just as great as the terrifying harm they cause after their reversal.

It can convert the energy devoured by evil thoughts from other worlds back into celestial energy, and it can also transform the celestial energy of this dimension into the energy that evil thoughts from other worlds love to devour.

Therefore, after the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief said those words, Lin Zhao remained silent for a long time.

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief asked Lin Zhao somewhat nervously, "Young friend, do you have any concerns?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "I can indeed refine this thing according to the conditions of the True Spirit Realm, but I wonder who will be in charge of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan once I have refined it?"

The fourth elder of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan said, "Naturally, it will be the Heavenly Phoenixes with strong combat power who take turns in charge."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief noticed Lin Zhao's furrowed brow out of the corner of his eye and knew that things were not going well. So he carefully chose his words to persuade him, "Even if the Heavenly Phoenixes are weak, they still possess the will of the Ancestral Phoenix, which can completely destroy the evil thoughts of the other world. Just in case, it would be better for the various Heavenly Phoenixes to complete this task."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "With the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror, whether we can eliminate the evil thoughts from the other world is no longer a problem. The problem lies in whether the person who uses these two things has a firm Dao heart."

These words greatly displeased the other elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. The Third Elder couldn't help but speak up, "Does young friend Lin Zhao think that something might happen to the Heavenly Phoenix? As a direct descendant of His Majesty the Ancestral Phoenix, would the Heavenly Phoenix possibly side with evil thoughts from another world?!"

Lin Zhao gave a wry smile: "If there were no precedent, I wouldn't want to be suspicious. Do you all still remember the White Phoenix Clan?"

Upon hearing this, all the elders fell silent, and even the Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief couldn't help but shake his head when recalling the reasons for the decline of the White Phoenix Clan.

The White Phoenix Clan can be considered the most righteous and virtuous of all the races subordinate to the Heavenly Phoenix. They suspected all the other Phoenix races of having problems, but they never suspected the White Phoenix Clan.

It was precisely this White Phoenix Clan that forced Ancestor Feng Xiao into such a predicament.

“Young friend Lin Zhao’s considerations are not without merit.” The First Elder sighed, admitting in a somewhat dry tone, “Over the years, we have indeed elevated the status of the Heavenly Phoenix too much.” The Third Elder said unhappily, “Shouldn’t we? How many of the offspring born now are Heavenly Phoenixes? It seems there’s only one Heavenly Phoenix in this generation, right? The rest are all Heavenly Phoenixes. If this continues, our Heavenly Phoenix Clan should just change its name to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. In tens of thousands of years, we won’t even be able to call ourselves the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.”

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "Has anyone wondered why the number of Heavenly Phoenixes born by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is decreasing?"

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief sighed, "We've had our suspicions for a while now, but we just can't find the reason. Plus, the chances of a female being born in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan are very small, so the situation is indeed beyond our control."

Lin Zhao said, "Could it be the influence of evil thoughts from another world?"

The Second Elder, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Even if my Heavenly Phoenix Clan has fallen to the level of a humble dwelling in a street alley, those evil thoughts from another world will not be able to infiltrate my clan even a little!"

This certainty made Lin Zhao frown.

She was meeting the Second Elder for the first time and didn't know him well, but judging from his words, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan did indeed have some confidence in resisting the evil thoughts from the other world.

If it's not a problem of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, then it must be a problem of the Ancestral Phoenix itself.

and many more……

A thought flashed through Lin Zhao's mind. She looked at the members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, but she dared not voice her thoughts. She could only chuckle dryly, "Perhaps I will be able to find the answer to this question in the future."

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief did not have high hopes for this. After all, it was uncertain whether the Upper Realm could survive normally, and it was also uncertain whether the Heavenly Phoenix Clan could maintain its current position. There was no point in thinking about it anymore.

"Young friend, do you mean to select a few trustworthy people to give the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror?" The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief pondered Lin Zhao's words for a while before asking.

Lin Zhao nodded: "And my idea is to let Qu Shu be the person in charge."

Silence fell upon everyone again.

Even the Grand Elder, who had no particular opinion about Qu Shu, couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Your Majesty Lin Zhao doesn't need to be so biased towards that kid."

Given that kid's methods, even if the Heavenly Phoenix Clan didn't give him the furnace and the Qiankun Mirror, Qu Shu would have his own way of getting them.

In short, ever since Qu Shu gained some status through Lin Zhao, he has been accumulating more and more influence within the Tianhuang Clan. If it weren't for the fact that he was born as a Tianfeng, and his mother's situation was always a shadow over the clan, Qu Shu would probably have replaced Huang Yue as the young master of the Tianhuang Clan long ago.

Lin Zhao gave a wry smile under the strange looks from the elders: "The previous request may have been because I was taking care of Qu Shu, but the idea was really because Qu Shu was capable of doing this well."

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan Chief remained silent.

Sometimes silence is a form of rejection.

Lin Zhao was in a difficult position; the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was clearly unwilling to compromise on this point.

Seeing this, Huang Yue slammed her hand on the table: "Aunties, what are you thinking?! The Heavenly Phoenix Clan still needs the strength of Lin Zhao and Qu Shu, and this is how you treat Qu Shu? I know that what happened to Aunt Huang Zhao back then was a great blow to the clan, but haven't you taken your anger out on Qu Shu enough over the years?!"

"What do you know?" The Fourth Elder's face was ashen. "If it weren't for Qu Shu's father, our Heavenly Phoenix Clan..."
