Chapter 11: Karma and reincarnation, ultimately unable to escape fate

Lin Che looked at Tongtian Tower Envoy Lin Yi in front of him, nodded, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin Yi, we haven't met in a hundred years, and I didn't expect you to still be at the Spirit Transformation early stage."

"It's really you!"

Lin Yi was full of surprise, "Didn't you die on the Outer Battlefield? How did you come back, and your cultivation broke through to the Infant Transformation Stage? How is this possible…"

"Just by luck."

Lin Che sat calmly on the ground, then waved his sleeve, and the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators who were kneeling also stood up, feeling even more terrified by the strength of an Infant Transformation Stage expert.

It was so terrifying, so appalling.

Lin Yi teleported in front of Lin Che, and after confirming that the other party had not been possessed, he finally understood why Lin Che was hailed as a prodigy of Suzaku Star for millions of years.

To reach the Infant Transformation Stage at such a young age, if he were given enough time, wouldn't breaking through to Ascension be more than enough?

"Originally, this old man planned to use the spiritual roots of mortals to create gods for Zhao Country. Now it seems there is no need for that. Senior Lin Che, I wonder if you can guard this place for a hundred years? By then, our Zhao Country will definitely be promoted to a Fourth Grade Cultivation Country."

Lin Yi had racked his brains to improve the country's strength. He was not a native of Zhao Country, and his role was to guard the Tongtian Tower here, so he had no way to raise Zhao Country to a Fourth Grade Cultivation Country.

Now that Lin Che had returned, with his Infant Transformation Stage cultivation, Zhao Country could directly be promoted to a Fifth Grade Cultivation Country, and the resources obtained would definitely be countless.

Lin Che stood with one hand behind his back and replied calmly, "Let's talk about this later. I can't stay in Zhao Country for a hundred years, but I have left my divine sense within Zhao Country, which can resist attacks below a Fifth Grade Cultivation Country."

Hearing these words, Lin Yi frowned, but he couldn't say anything more, as going or staying was not something he could decide.

If he were to guard this place for a hundred years, Zhao Country would directly be promoted to a Fifth Grade Cultivation Country, and the future opportunities would be countless.

Lin Yi stroked his pale beard, then remembered his mission, and looked at the other Nascent Soul Stage experts.

After confirming that all Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in Zhao Country were present, the colorful clouds in the sky became denser. Lin Yi slowly floated in the air, and as his fingers danced, a golden light shot out and merged into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the clouds in the sky began to churn, and a red light descended from the sky, striking the large plaza of the Tongtian Tower, forming a barrier that completely enveloped the plaza.

"Three-level Cultivation Country Inspector Lin Yi respectfully welcomes the Alliance Envoy."

As the mist dissipated, a giant from the Giant Demon Clan appeared out of thin air. Surging energy, like raging waves, continuously spread outwards.

All the Nascent Soul Stage experts of Zhao Country, including Pu Nanzi and the other two, were terrified by the giant's single glance.

Their Nascent Souls almost collapsed. They had no doubt that if the opponent gazed at them for a moment longer, their Nascent Souls would not be able to withstand the immense pressure and would explode on their own.

Lin Che stood with his hands behind his back, naturally not feeling any discomfort from the opponent's aura. On the contrary, this Giant Demon Clan cultivator was only at the Spirit Transformation late stage and did not have the ability to make him feel his aura disturbed.

"This crappy place has such thin spiritual energy, it's not even enough for this old man to take a single breath."

The Giant Demon Clan expert snorted disdainfully, then looked at Lin Che in the crowd. When he sensed that the other party's cultivation was at the Infant Transformation Stage, his previously arrogant tone clearly softened a bit.

"Listen up, all of you! In three months, the Outer Battlefield passage will open. If anyone finds a bead like this in the Outer Battlefield, hand it over immediately!"

"The one who hands it over will receive an Infant Transformation Stage magical treasure. But if anyone dares to keep the bead for themselves, this old man will slaughter your entire Cultivation Country… Sect!"

A deafening voice rang out in the crowd, as if it could slaughter all living beings here at any moment.

The Giant Demon Clan expert glanced at Lin Che. Originally, he wanted to say he would slaughter the entire Zhao Country, but he thought that this guy was an Infant Transformation Stage expert, and offending him was not a wise choice, which is why he said what followed.

"This Seven-Colored Treasure Lotus is mine. I'll await your good news!"

As the voice fell, the God Transformation stage magical treasure directly above the Tongtian Tower was instantly taken into the pocket of the Giant Demon Clan expert, and the previously mist-shrouded sky also receded.

Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. He angrily flicked his sleeve, but he didn't dare to say anything.

After all, in front of a Spirit Transformation late stage expert, his Spirit Transformation early stage self had no power to stop him, and the other party was also an Alliance Envoy. If he offended him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Since that's the case, then you all go back and prepare. Jue Ming Valley will open in three days. Here are the tokens, arrange for your disciples to enter."

Lin Yi was quite angry at this moment, so he could only throw out a few tokens, nodded towards Lin Che's position, and returned to the tower.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Teng Huayuan immediately called out to Gao Qiming, the Sect Master of Misty Sect, "Fellow Daoist Gao Qiming, please wait."

Gao Qiming, who was also at the Nascent Soul early stage, stopped and looked at Teng Huayuan, asking in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Teng, what can I do for you?"

Teng Huayuan clenched his fist and said, "Not long ago, a guest disciple of my Teng Family was killed. To avenge him, this person offered a Nascent Soul Stage magical treasure to ask my great-grandson for help, but he didn't expect to be counter-killed by him…"

"This person has a wisp of my divine sense on him, but I don't know what kind of expert helped him. This old man has searched for several days without any results, so I ask Fellow Daoist Qiming to help me find his closest kin."

Lin Che turned around and frowned slightly. According to the normal plot, Teng Li had already fallen, so why was Wang Lin still being pursued by Teng Huayuan?

In the original work, Wang Lin killed the disciple of Old Man Ji Mo, and thus Old Man Ji Mo used a Nascent Soul Stage magical treasure to ask Teng Li to help him avenge his disciple. Could it be that Teng Huayuan arranged for other disciples?

Teng Huayuan continued, "After Teng Li fell, I, Teng Huayuan, cultivated an even more talented disciple. He reached the Foundation Establishment late stage at only eighteen years old, and his future achievements are immeasurable. But I didn't expect him to have his soul extracted by a Qi Condensation brat. Even if I, Teng Huayuan, search high and low, I will make his soul scatter!"

"So that's how it is."

Lin Che took down the wine gourd from his waist and took a sip, then said meaningfully, "Karma and reincarnation. In the end, one cannot escape the price of being slaughtered. Teng Huayuan, oh Teng Huayuan, take care of yourself."

Teng Huayuan turned his head to look in the direction of the empty space. Just now, for some reason, he seemed to have heard Senior Lin Che's voice. Could it be his own hallucination?

"Fellow Daoist Qiming, as long as you help me find the other party's closest kin, I, Teng Huayuan, will give you this God Transformation stage magical treasure, the Dragon Turtle Shell!"

I can see everything you say.
