Chapter 48: The state of extinction condensed again

Lin Che landed steadily on the ground, looking at his once-flourishing sect now in ruins, and couldn't help but unleash the vast malevolence within him.

As the malevolence surged, an unimaginable sense of oppression permeated the entire sky above Zhao Country, and countless cultivators, upon sensing this energy, immediately sped in its direction.

When Teng Family Ancestor Teng Huayuan saw that it was Lin Che, who had left Zhao Country a hundred years ago, he immediately flew over and knelt before Lin Che: "Senior Lin Che, you have finally returned!"

Lin Che coldly glanced at Teng Huayuan and said with a stern expression, "What exactly happened? Why was Heng Yue Sect destroyed?"

Teng Huayuan, drenched in sweat, replied, "Reporting to Senior, thirty years after you left Zhao Country, a cultivator at the peak of the Infant Transformation Stage suddenly appeared in Zhao Country… It is said that this person is a powerful expert from Zhu Que Country, and he specifically demanded your appearance…"

"Continue."

Lin Che picked up Heng Yue Sect's plaque, looking at its long-dimmed surface, the murderous intent on his face grew even thicker, as if he had the illusion of destroying all life here.

Teng Huayuan dared not be negligent and immediately continued, "This person specifically asked to see you… saying that you had already reached the Infant Transformation Stage and must join Zhu Que Country, otherwise Zhao Country would have no reason to exist…"

"Heng Yue Sect's Ancestor informed this senior of your departure, but after learning you had left, this person directly destroyed Heng Yue Sect. Heng Yue Sect's Ancestor… all perished… Only Master Huanglong Zhenren, who was away, survived."

"Where is Master now?"

Lin Che was not surprised by Master Huanglong Zhenren's realm, and Huanglong Zhenren had always been meticulous. If he found that the sect could not provide shelter, he would not hesitate to abandon it and continue his life elsewhere.

Teng Huayuan shook his head timidly. They didn't know where Heng Yue Sect's sect master, Huanglong Zhenren, had gone. They only knew that Heng Yue Sect had been destroyed for many years, and no one dared to set foot there, fearing that Lin Che would one day return to the sect.

Now that Lin Che had returned, he would surely make the entire Zhu Que Country pay a heavy price… Lin Che, with one hand behind his back, looked at the ruined Heng Yue Sect and let out a deep breath, saying, "Karma cycles, and in the end, it cannot be avoided."

In the original work, Heng Yue Sect was destroyed because of Xuan Dao Sect's Pu Nanzi. Now, less than a hundred years later, Zhu Que Country would actually arrange for a peak Infant Transformation Stage cultivator to come here.

It seems those old fellows weren't planning on letting him join Zhu Que Country, but rather wanted to kill him here.

One must know that whether it's Suzaku Star or other star domains, they are all controlled by the Cultivation Alliance. To establish rules, the Cultivation Alliance allocates resources based on the cultivators within the star domain.

If a peak expert appears in a low-level star domain, it must be determined whether that person poses a threat. If not, then cultivation resources can continue to be allocated to the cultivation countries in that star domain.

If there is a threat, then powerful experts will be arranged to directly eliminate them, and they might even directly destroy the star domain, just to nip any cultivator who threatens the Cultivation Alliance's position in the bud.

Currently, Lin Che's talent is simply too high. If he breaks through to the Dao Querying Realm in the future, then Zhao Country could directly be promoted to a Six-Level Cultivation Country, on par with Zhu Que Country, and thus share the cultivation resources originally belonging to Zhu Que Country.

For Zhu Que Country, this is absolutely intolerable, and it's even more impossible to give half of its country's cultivation resources to Zhao Country.

Because of this, after Zhu Que Country learned of the return of Lin Che, who had disappeared that year, it directly arranged for a peak Infant Transformation Stage expert to come here, thereby completely stifling Lin Che in his infancy.

Lin Che slowly raised his head, and after much thought, gently waved his right hand forward. The ruined Heng Yue Sect in front of him began to pile up rapidly, eventually returning to its original glorious appearance.

"Since Heng Yue Sect no longer exists, this plaque has no need to exist either. From now on, none of you shall step half a pace into this place, nor shall any cultivator enter Heng Yue Sect."

Teng Huayuan nodded and respectfully bowed to Lin Che, "This junior obeys. I will arrange for disciples to inform all major sects not to allow them to step half a pace into this place."

"Mm."

Lin Che stood with one hand behind his back, then looked towards the location of Corpse Yin Sect's Sect Master, Ye Zizai, noticing that Ye Zizai's expression was extremely grim at this moment.

As a Nascent Soul Stage expert, Lin Che naturally also sensed that Ye Zizai's aura was extremely unstable. It was likely that Corpse Yin Sect's Sect Master, Ye Zizai, had already been completely taken over by a corpse puppet.

However, Lin Che did not interfere with Corpse Yin Sect's Sect Master Ye Zizai's affairs. After all, the cultivation world has always been about the survival of the fittest, not only in Zhao Country but in other cultivation countries as well.

After bidding farewell to the few Nascent Soul Stage experts within Zhao Country, Lin Che strode forward until he reached the bamboo forest in the back mountain before stopping.

The bamboo forest in front of him was a barrier enchantment set up by him and Li Muwan, impassable to anyone below the Ascension Stage. Therefore, the bamboo forest in front of him was able to survive the calamity.

"Time flies, a hundred years unseen, and this place is still so full of life."

Lin Che stood by Green Mountain Lakeside, gazing at the shimmering lake, his heart filled with emotion.

A hundred years might be a lifetime for mortals, but for cultivators, it's merely a flick of a finger.

Now, upon returning, Heng Yue Sect is no longer the Heng Yue Sect of yesteryear. Perhaps this is the cycle of karma, with its own destiny.

Lin Che ignored this matter, walked into the bamboo house, sat cross-legged, and at the same time, his fingers moved rapidly, and the murderous intent within his body condensed wildly at a visible speed.

To once again comprehend 'Nirvana Conception', one must condense the malevolence and murderous intent within the body into a special crystal. Each time a little is used, it can greatly enhance the comprehension of Intention.

Hurricane Beast King and Xu Liguo were arranged to stand guard outside. Having finally come out, Xu Liguo immediately let loose and lay in the water, taking a bath.

"You are already a Nascent Soul, so bathing doesn't seem to do you much good."

Hurricane Beast King walked over, looked at the squinting Xu Liguo, and directly exposed Xu Liguo.

Xu Liguo pouted and said with disdain, "I'm enjoying life. After so many years with Sha Xing, I've been stuck in that isolated space every day. I'm practically bored to death."

Xu Liguo constantly wanted to leave Lin Che's side, but that guy had left his divine sense within his body. As long as he was within the range of the divine sense, Lin Che could instantly pull him back.

Xu Liguo's many escape attempts all ended in failure, and each time he was punished. So, Xu Liguo no longer thought about escaping and simply gave up, finding it more carefree to lie down and eat souls.
