Chapter 165: Mo Zhi, the envoy of the Cultivation Alliance, arrives at Suzaku Star

Lin Che's aura suddenly surged, and the table and chairs in the pavilion exploded, turning into wooden splinters that floated in mid-air, only to stop completely three feet from Mo Zhi.

Lin Che stared at the Tai Chi diagram, his words filled with arrogance: "If the Heavenly Dao is heartless, I will sever this Heavenly Dao! If the Dao does not allow emotion, I will forge my own path!"

As Lin Che's words fell, the wooden splinters in front of him suddenly burst into golden light, piercing towards the center of the Tai Chi diagram, shattering it with a roar.

Mo Zhi clapped his hands and laughed heartily, his laughter shaking the Huai River, causing countless stellar trajectories to appear on its surface.

"What a 'sever the Heavenly Dao, forge one's own path'! No wonder the Wheel of Fate couldn't find your trace, but…"

Mo Zhi's smile suddenly vanished, and a hint of obscurity flickered in his eyes: "Do you know that in this world, some destinies cannot be shaken even by the Heavenly Dao?"

With that, a wisp of black mist floated out from his sleeve, condensing into a shattered phantom of the Wheel of Fate in the air. Among the dense star trails on the wheel, only Lin Che's destiny star flickered erratically.

Lin Che looked at the Wheel of Fate before him, a hint of confusion appearing on his face, then he asked: "May I ask, what is the 'destiny' that Mo Zhi Brother speaks of?"

Mo Zhi withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "That depends on what you experience in the future. Throughout history, those who could escape fate are few and far between. Even if this world is somewhat illusory, not being within fate means not being entangled by it."

Lin Che frowned slightly, his fingertip lightly touching the shattered phantom of the Wheel of Fate. Where his spiritual energy made contact, the star trails rippled with a tremor.

"Mo Zhi Brother means that this world is inherently an illusion? Then what is the meaning of what I am doing now?"

Before he finished speaking, the destiny star on the wheel suddenly erupted with dazzling light, dispelling all the surrounding black mist.

A hint of surprise flashed in Mo Zhi's eyes, and a jade slip suddenly flew out from his sleeve, floating in mid-air, mysterious runes flowing upon it.

"So that's how it is…" Mo Zhi slowly stood up, then his expression suddenly froze, and he subconsciously looked at Lin Che in front of him: "What was your name again, esteemed friend?"

"Uh… Lin Che…"

Mo Zhi patted his forehead and slowly said: "Lin Che Brother, looking to the future, it's a chaotic expanse. Looking back, there's a void behind you."

"Hmm?"

Lin Che narrowed his eyes slightly, then looked at Mo Zhi in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, Mo Zhi turned around.

Mo Zhi placed one hand behind his back, gazing at the distant, sea-blue sky, and murmured to himself: "Throughout history, the Cultivation Alliance is not allowed to interfere with the affairs of cultivation countries, but for us, it's merely a chess piece…"

"Lin Che Brother, the fifteenth generation Zhu Quezi has already been decided. Next, I will be the Cultivation Alliance Envoy of Zhu Que Country. With me here, this land will be protected."

Mo Zhi turned slightly to the side, looking at Lin Che behind him, and said softly.

"Until we meet again."

Mo Zhi placed one hand behind his back, and his body instantly vanished from where he stood, replaced by a vast energy that enveloped this land.

Watching Mo Zhi's departing back, Lin Che also let out a breath of hot air and turned to return to his room.

At this moment, Li Muwan had already woken up and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, doing her makeup. Her red lips were slightly pursed, and through the reflection of the mirror, she looked at Lin Che's position and said: "Husband, look at my lips, they're all red."

Lin Che rubbed his nose, walked over, gently embraced Li Muwan's neck, and whispered: "Didn't you say it yourself last night…?"

Li Muwan's pretty face immediately turned crimson. She rolled her eyes at Lin Che and said: "I told you to do whatever I said, and if I told you not to, didn't you still do it? So, will you listen to me from now on?"

Looking at the shy Li Muwan, Lin Che also nodded with a faint smile, then kissed her on the cheek, stood up, and said: "I'll help you cultivate."

…For the next half month, Lin Che helped Li Muwan improve her strength every day. She had now reached the late stage of the Deity Transformation Realm.

To break through to the Infant Transformation Stage, a large amount of immortal qi was still needed. Fortunately, this place had abundant immortal qi and immortal jade, which would be greatly beneficial for Li Muwan's breakthrough to Infant Transformation.

Li Muwan stretched, rubbed her smooth and delicate belly, and asked: "Husband, you're always like this. If we have a baby… what should we do then?"

"After a cultivator's strength increases, it becomes extremely difficult to have offspring, especially after reaching the Yin Void Realm."

Lin Che gently replied: "If there's an opportunity, we will naturally have our own child. Moreover, your body is currently rather weak, so resting and recuperating is the most important thing."

Li Muwan didn't know that every time Lin Che would use immortal power to destroy the energy within the seed, fearing that if he left, Wan'er would give birth to a son or daughter.

After all, he didn't know how many years it would take to return from this departure, and if a child were to stay with Wan'er, it would only make her feel incredibly melancholy.

Li Muwan also had no suspicions and prepared to spend more intimate time with her husband. After he left, she wouldn't be able to enjoy such intimacy… Time flew by, and a few days passed in a flash.

Lin Che walked out of the room, also planning to leave Suzaku Star and travel to other star fields for cultivation.

Before leaving, Lin Che gave his High-Grade Sky Treasure to Li Muwan, telling her to protect herself and wait for his return.

Though Li Muwan felt immense reluctance, she could do nothing about it. After all, she understood in her heart that if her beloved wanted to protect this land, he had to improve his cultivation. Otherwise, in a few hundred years, Suzaku Star might truly be destroyed.

Both Ling Tianhou of the Great Luo Sword Sect and Tian Mozi of Tian Mo Star coveted the High-Grade Void Treasure in Lin Che's hands.

If they learned that Lin Che came from Suzaku Star, they would personally come here to seize the High-Grade Void Treasure and slaughter all the cultivators of Suzaku Star.

Therefore, to withstand the attacks of Ling Tianhou and others, one must improve one's cultivation; otherwise, for these cultivators, death would be certain.

Lin Che looked at Li Muwan beside him, gently wiping away the tears on her cheeks, and softly said: "Wait for me to return."

Li Muwan tightly hugged Lin Che's body, biting hard into Lin Che's shoulder, leaving her teeth marks. Only after a few drops of blood oozed out did Li Muwan stop.

Looking at the bloodstains on Lin Che's shoulder, Li Muwan, like a child who had done something wrong, lowered her head somewhat aggrievedly, then extended the tip of her tongue and gently licked the blood on Lin Che's shoulder.

"Does it still hurt?"

Lin Che smiled and rubbed Li Muwan's head, saying with a laugh: "No matter what, you are the person I love most. What does it matter if you bite me?"
