Chapter 16 Successfully Breaking Through the Middle Infant Transformation Stage

Li Muwan smiled sweetly, gently took Lin Che's arm, and said, "Senior Brother, then let's make time to go back to Luo River Gate."

Currently, Li Muwan had already reached the Foundation Establishment middle stage, and it wouldn't be long until she reached the Foundation Establishment late stage. If she wanted to break through to the Core Formation Realm, then obtaining a Heavenly Separation Pill was the best choice.

Lin Che rubbed Li Muwan's head and nodded, "No rush. After I've finished handling things here, I'll take you to the Luo River Gate in Fire Desolation Country."

Li Muwan nodded obediently. For cultivators like them, time was just a number. Perhaps a period of secluded cultivation could take decades, or even hundreds of years.

Especially for powerful cultivators with higher cultivation, a casual period of secluded cultivation could span an ordinary person's entire life.

"Senior Brother, last night I dreamed of my brother. Perhaps he isn't doing well at Luo River Gate now. I'd like to bring him with us in the future, if we have time, to keep us company," Li Muwan said softly, shifting her gaze towards Green Mountain Lakeside.

Li Muwan's parents had died very early, and it was her brother who had raised her.

Therefore, after they parted ways, Li Muwan often thought of her brother, Li Qiqing, wondering how he was doing now and what his cultivation realm was.

Lin Che didn't speak, his gaze calmly fixed on the shimmering lake surface. His large hand gently stroked Li Muwan's beautiful dark hair, and he also kept this matter in mind.

Just then, Hengyue Sect's Grand Elder Liu Wenju appeared and bowed to Lin Che, demonstrating the cultivators' respect for the strong.

Lin Che slightly turned his head, glanced at Elder Liu Wenju behind him, and asked softly, "May I ask, Grand Elder, what brings you here this time?"

Elder Liu Wenju shrugged and nodded, "Nephew Lin Che, I've come today to tell you something. Not long ago, all the tokens were destroyed, and the Cultivation Alliance's powerhouses also learned that an Infant Transformation Stage powerhouse has appeared in our Hengyue Sect."

"Oh?" Lin Che raised an eyebrow, turned around to face Elder Liu Wenju, and asked, "Then what does the Cultivation Alliance mean?"

Liu Wenju replied, "Currently, several Spirit Transformation Stage late stage powerhouses of the Cultivation Alliance have decided to have the Hengyue Sect in Zhao Country arrange for a few disciples to go directly to the Outer Battlefield for a sweep. Everything they obtain will belong to the Hengyue Sect."

Hearing this, Lin Che was a bit surprised. After all, each opening of the Outer Battlefield required a large amount of resources, so it was decided to open it only once every five hundred years.

Lin Che's initial entry into the Outer Battlefield was entirely due to his extremely high talent, being hailed as the cultivator most likely to break through to the Huashen (Transformation God) Realm within a hundred years. That's why an exception was made to open the Outer Battlefield for him.

Now, the Cultivation Alliance's powerhouses must have also learned of Lin Che's realm, which is why they chose to have the Hengyue Sect, where Lin Che resides, send a few more disciples to sweep the Outer Battlefield, as a way of giving Lin Che an explanation.

After Liu Wenju learned of this, he immediately rushed to the back mountain bamboo forest, informed Lin Che, the strongest in the sect, of the matter, and wanted to hear Lin Che's thoughts.

Lin Che stroked his chin, his gaze resting on Li Muwan.

Zhao Country is hundreds of millions of miles away from Fire Desolation Country. Even with a teleportation array, it would take a great deal of time to arrive.

If they went through the Outer Battlefield, they might save almost half the time.

Moreover, after Wang Lin transforms into a Soul Devourer, changes will occur within the Outer Battlefield, attracting the attention of those Cultivation Alliance powerhouses, and ultimately leading to the cancellation of this sweeping activity across various continents.

"Does the Hengyue Sect have disciples participating?"

"Currently, we have selected three inner disciples: Zhang Kuang, Wang Zhuo, and Wang Xing. According to the Cultivation Alliance's regulations, our Hengyue Sect can arrange for one more disciple to go to the Outer Battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Lin Che looked at Li Muwan, who was sleeping soundly on his lap, as if he had thought of something.

However, recalling Li Muwan's refusal not long ago, Lin Che did not give this spot to Li Muwan. Furthermore, it was not safe for her to be alone outside; if someone discovered she possessed treasures, she would surely be hunted down.

It would be better to keep her by his side; at least no dangerous incidents would occur.

"The remaining spot should be decided by Grand Elder yourself. After all, such matters are best decided by the Grand Elder and Master."

Lin Che withdrew his gaze and answered calmly.

Seeing this, Elder Liu Wenju did not say anything further. After bowing, he turned and left the Hengyue Sect's back mountain bamboo forest.

As for the remaining spot, the sect would personally select a disciple suitable for participating in the Outer Battlefield sweep.

Lin Che slowly closed his eyes, continuing his usual cultivation, striving to break through to the Dao Querying Realm one day. In that case, no one on the entire Suzaku Star would be able to harm him.

Moreover, the upcoming Ancient God Land offered a glimmer of hope, as Tuosen's strength was evident. A slight misstep could lead to being instantly killed by Tuosen in the Ancient God Land… Time flew by, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Che's realm successfully broke through from the previous Infant Transformation early stage to the Infant Transformation Stage.

In order to quickly improve his cultivation, Lin Che usually spent his time in secluded cultivation and took advantage of his free time to visit the dangerous lands of Zhao Country.

He collected all the souls there into his soul banner, which led to his cultivation breaking through to the Infant Transformation Stage.

"Although the Infant Transformation early stage and Infant Transformation middle stage are only separated by one minor realm, the difference in immortal power between the two is a world apart."

Lin Che clenched his fist, feeling the energy surging through his body, and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that his efforts over the past six months had not been in vain.

"It seems it's time to visit the Corpse Yin Sect."

Lin Che stood up and brushed the dust from his shoulders. If he wasn't mistaken, a powerhouse of the Giant Demon Clan was sealed beneath the Corpse Yin Sect.

The giant suppressed beneath the Corpse Yin Sect, according to the original work, was named Lei Ji. He was a member of the Giant Demon Clan, with an enormous body; his head alone was larger than an entire human body.

His strength could be said to be very formidable, even above the Spirit Transformation Stage, infinitely approaching the Ascension Realm.

However, his luck was poor. After arriving on Suzaku Star, he was targeted by the Immortal Remnant Clan and subsequently besieged by a group of Immortal Remnant Clan experts.

The Immortal Remnant Clan not only had many people, but they also had two top-tier curse masters among them. Lei Ji could withstand various spells but not curses, and he was ultimately severely wounded, forced to flee.

To make matters worse, Lei Ji encountered people from the Corpse Yin Sect while fleeing. The Corpse Yin Sect seized him while he was severely injured and subsequently suppressed him beneath the Corpse Yin Sect.
