Lin Che smiled bitterly. If he could have returned, how could he have lived for a hundred years in that world full of slaughter and violence?
Entering and exiting the Ancient God Land required a special hand seal. This set of hand seals could only be used at the vortex before the end of the checkpoint; otherwise, it would be very difficult to successfully leave the Ancient God Land.
"This guy can actually suppress a Core Formation stage expert just by his aura. Could it be that this person's cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul Stage!"
Among the Hengyue Sect disciples, a young man in a yellow Daoist robe looked at Lin Che not far away with a shocked expression, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.
"This person's cultivation is not Nascent Soul, but… Infant Transformation Realm… I didn't expect there to be an Infant Transformation Stage expert within this small Zhao Country."
Just as Wang Lin was shocked, the voice of Situ Nan, who was sealed in the tian ni bead, came from his mind.
From his tone, it was not difficult to see that even he himself had not expected an Infant Transformation Stage expert to appear within the small Zhao Country at this moment.
"Infant Transformation Realm?"
Wang Lin asked with a puzzled expression, "Senior Situ, what kind of realm is the Infant Transformation Realm? Why have I never heard of it?"
"I told you before, the cultivation world is extremely vast. There are many who are stronger than the Nascent Soul Stage. Above Nascent Soul is Spirit Transformation Stage, and above Spirit Transformation Stage is Infant Transformation. As for Ascension, it is above Infant Transformation."
Situ Nan replied with a strange tone. The Lin Che in front of him had reached the Infant Transformation Realm at only a hundred years old. This guy's talent was rare in the world, even unique!
"It's really you, Senior Brother Lin Che~"
At this moment, Li Muwan, who had been watching the competition earlier, suddenly had tears in her eyes and quickly flew towards Lin Che.
Lin Che also noticed Li Muwan. He remembered this woman very clearly. After he left the Ancient God Land, in order to stabilize his newly broken-through realm, he chose to go into seclusion and cultivate within the Fire Desolation Country, where he happened to save Li Muwan, who was being pursued and was on the verge of death.
The two cultivated together for more than ten years. During this time, Lin Che also taught Li Muwan many times about alchemy techniques and control over flames, and so on.
When they parted, he told her the location of his sect, saying that if they were fated, they would naturally meet again at the Hengyue Sect. He hadn't expected that several years later, Li Muwan would actually find her way here.
As a transmigrator, Lin Che naturally understood Li Muwan's character. She possessed an exquisite beauty, with flowers for her countenance, birds for her voice, the moon for her spirit, willows for her posture, jade for her bones, ice and snow for her skin, autumn waters for her grace, and poetry for her heart.
Li Muwan looked up, gazing at Lin Che blankly, a blush rising on her pretty face. She softly said, "I knew you would definitely come back… Senior Brother, you really didn't lie to me."
Lin Che smiled slightly, then looked at the Hengyue Sect Ancestor, True Man Huanglong, beside him.
True Man Huanglong appeared to only have Core Formation stage cultivation, but in reality, he was a clone of the fifth generation Vermilion Bird of the Zhuque Sect among the Four Saints Sect, named Lu Yun. He was hidden under the identity of the Hengyue Sect Master and possessed terrifying strength.
Not to mention the small Xuan Dao Sect Master Pu Nanzi, even the entire Suzaku Star was as fragile as an ant before him, and he even possessed the realm of Heavenly Human Five Decay.
However, True Man Huanglong had not revealed anything about his predecessor to him, only providing help during his cultivation process, but not disclosing anything else.
Lin Che also did not inquire about this matter, as his current realm was far from Heavenly Human Five Decay.
True Man Huanglong took Lin Che's wrist and brought him to the Hengyue Sect's main hall, asking what had happened over the years.
Lin Che answered truthfully, recounting everything that had happened to him in the Ancient God Land. In these hundred years, he had not only obtained many magical treasures.
He had also raised his cultivation to the early Infant Transformation Realm, which was considered to be at the top of the pyramid on the entire Suzaku Star.
Similarly, when he broke through to Spirit Transformation Stage, the Intention he comprehended was completely different from others. His Intention was called 'God of Slaughter'. During the continuous slaughter, the strength of his Intention became even more powerful, even to the extent of being considered Extreme Divine Sense.
When True Man Huanglong learned of the tribulations Lin Che had experienced over the past hundred years, his heart ached. He recalled that Lin Che was once his most proud disciple. If he hadn't been sucked into a spatial rift, he probably wouldn't have become like this now.
"You've worked hard all these years, Lin Che. Tell your master what you want, and your master will never refuse."
Lin Che shook his head and refused, "No, I'm not interested in those things."
Zhao Country, as a Three-level Cultivation Country, had extremely weak spiritual energy. He could, if he wished, easily drain all the spiritual energy within Zhao Country, and even the lives within this place were merely at his whim.
Liu Wenju couldn't help but ask, "Lin Che, is your realm… really Spirit Transformation Stage?"
"If so… could you reside here for a hundred years, allowing Zhao Country to become a Fourth Grade Cultivation Country, enhancing its national strength, and resisting foreign invasion?"
Lin Che stood with one hand behind his back and said calmly, "I have already broken through to the early Infant Transformation. If I were to reside here for a hundred years, Zhao Country could directly be elevated to a Fifth Grade Cultivation Country. However, if I were to leave, the resources of a Fifth Grade Cultivation Country would likely be plundered by others."
"Infant Transformation Realm!"
The Hengyue Sect elders were all stunned, unable to believe their ears. Lin Che, who was only a hundred years old, had already reached the almost unrivaled Infant Transformation Stage. Was this still a realm that humans could achieve?
True Man Huanglong was much calmer, seemingly already aware of Lin Che's breakthrough to the Infant Transformation Realm, and did not show the astonishing expressions of the others.
Lin Che's finger moved slightly, and a golden light gathered at his fingertip, which then merged into the bodies of the Hengyue Sect Ancestor and elders.
"Although I cannot reside here, I have left spiritual energy seeds, condensed from the Qi of Heaven and Earth, within the bodies of the elders. If the elders can reach the late Nascent Soul Stage in the future, I will personally enlighten you to become gods."
Feeling the energy in their bodies, Liu Wenju and the others looked excited and immediately bowed to Lin Che in front of them: "Thank you, Senior."
Lin Che waved his hand and replied calmly, "Elders, there's no need to be so polite. After all, I, Lin Che, am Master's direct disciple. In terms of seniority, I am your junior nephew."
True Man Huanglong nodded with satisfaction. Lin Che, whose cultivation had broken through to Infant Transformation, could still maintain his original Intention. He was indeed his disciple.
"Senior Brother, after you… left back then, have you always been cultivating in the Fire Desolation Country?"
Li Muwan pursed her tender lips and asked softly.
"Yes." Lin Che nodded and replied, "After I left the Ancient God Land back then, my cultivation advanced to the Infant Transformation Realm. However, the spiritual energy in Chu Country was too thin and couldn't support me in stabilizing my realm, so I arranged a cave dwelling to cultivate in advance. Now my cultivation has stabilized."
