Chapter 492: Lan Meng Dao Zun tells Lin Che about the child

As Lin Che felt himself break through to the early Void Tribulation Realm, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He hadn't expected that killing the Sect Leader Lackey would directly allow his cultivation to advance to the Void Tribulation Realm.

It was unbelievable.

With a slight thought from Lin Che, a luminous blue attribute panel appeared before him.

[System Name: God of Slaughter]

[Host Name: Lin Che]

[Realm: Early Void Tribulation Realm]

[Magic Treasures: Void Clarity Sword, Human Emperor Banner, Shadow Soul Devouring Bell, Nine-Layer Exquisite Pagoda, Silver Dragon Demonic Spear, Primordial Demonic Umbrella, blood god sword]

[Total Kills: 3,000,327,850 people]

[Total Demonic Beasts: 64,673,758]

[Slaughter Value: 69 / 100]

Looking at the system message that popped up, Lin Che subconsciously rubbed his nose and thought to himself, "It seems the gap between me and the Sect Leader Lackey was simply too vast back then. That's why I received the system's maximum benefit after killing him."

Immortal Emperor Qinglin and Demonic God Tuo Sen also watched Lin Che. Their own strength was at the Sky Profound Realm, and now, sensing the energy radiating from Lin Che, their faces were filled with shock.

"This astonishing deterrent force… You actually crossed two realms… and broke through to the Void Tribulation Realm?"

Demonic God Tuo Sen was also full of envy.

This guy's talent was too good! How long had it been, and he already reached such a realm? It was so enviable it was suffocating.

Lin Che felt two scorching gazes fall upon him. His fingertips subconsciously caressed the hilt of the Void Clarity Sword, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Just luck."

Lin Che looked up at Immortal Emperor Qinglin and Demonic God Tuo Sen. The light blue spiritual energy gathered at his fingertips quietly dispersed, without a hint of arrogance in his eyes after the breakthrough.

"The Sect Leader Lackey's cultivation was far superior to mine. During the fight, I was almost fighting with the determination to die. I didn't expect that last sword strike would happen to hit his spiritual energy's vital point, allowing me to accidentally cross two realms."

Listening to Lin Che's words, Immortal Emperor Qinglin and Demonic God Tuo Sen exchanged glances, clearly somewhat unwilling to believe it.

But this was also good.

Now, in the entire Beyond the Boundary, only Daoist Lan Meng was still alive. All the others had perished. There was no one left in the entire Beyond the Boundary who could be their opponent.

Lin Che put one hand behind his back, looked at Daoist Lan Meng in the distance, and instantly appeared before him, saying indifferently, "Daoist Lan Meng, Senior, you didn't expect the final outcome to be like this, did you?"

Daoist Lan Meng staggered back two steps, his eyes revealing endless fear, and he almost knelt directly to the ground.

"You… you really killed the Sect Leader Lackey…"

"The Sect Leader must die, but Senior previously allied with the Sect Leader to attack me. Today, have you ever considered how you can regret your past actions?"

Looking at Lin Che, who he could no longer contend with, Daoist Lan Meng trembled all over and immediately knelt before Lin Che, pleading, "Please… please, Senior, for Qianmei's sake… spare me…"

"Li Qianmei?" Lin Che said faintly, "Li Qianmei and I are not enemies, merely friends with whom I've met a few times. To ask me to spare you for her sake, you are not worthy."

Daoist Lan Meng suddenly looked up at Lin Che, trembling all over, and said, "Have you forgotten what happened in the Rain Immortal Realm? She damaged her cultivation for you and even bore you a child…"

Lin Che's expression instantly changed upon hearing these words. He immediately grabbed Daoist Lan Meng by the neck and lifted him up forcefully.

"What did you say? Damaged her cultivation, a child? What exactly happened?"

Daoist Lan Meng's neck cracked as he was choked, his face turning purplish-blue, but he desperately clung to this sole chance of survival, his voice hoarsely screaming in broken sentences.

"Back… back then, you were severely injured by the Sect Leader, and your divine soul almost disintegrated. That madwoman saved you… and you ended up in the Rain Immortal Realm!"

Daoist Lan Meng gasped for breath, a calculating glint in his eyes, and continued, "Qianmei, upon learning of your disappearance, searched for you like a madwoman, even resorting to using the Heavenly Secret Compass. That item consumes lifespan; she forcefully sacrificed five hundred years of cultivation just to pinpoint your location!"

Lin Che's knuckles turned white from the force, and the throat beneath his thumb was still struggling to move. He gritted his teeth and growled, "What about the primordial yin and the child? Explain clearly!"

"You were unconscious in the Rain Immortal Realm for over ten years!"

Daoist Lan Meng's voice was tearful, as if he was feeling wronged for Li Qianmei, "The residual poison from the Sect Leader in your body couldn't be removed at all. Qianmei had no choice but to use her own primordial yin as a guide.

She combined it with the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass to extend your life… That primordial yin is a woman's cultivation foundation! After she did all that, her cultivation directly fell from the Shattered Nirvana to the Pure Nirvana Realm!"

Seeing Lin Che's eyes grow increasingly bloodshot, Daoist Lan Meng hurriedly added, "But it was during those ten-plus years that she became pregnant with your child! Fearing that you would be distracted upon waking, and also afraid that the Sect Leader's people would find the child, she kept it a secret… The child was born a few years ago, named Lin Qingxuan, and is currently being personally raised by her in Luomei Valley in the Rain Immortal Realm!"

"Lin Qingxuan…"

Lin Che repeated the name softly, the force in his fingertips suddenly loosening a bit, the blood red in his eyes receding, replaced by surging waves of shock.

Lin Che's mind suddenly flashed with the snow-covered valley in the Rain Immortal Realm, and the warmth of Li Qianmei's fingertips inadvertently brushing his wrist when she handed him healing pills.

Daoist Lan Meng seized the opportunity to gasp for air. Seeing Lin Che's expression soften, he quickly added, "Qianmei hasn't had an easy time these past few years. Former subordinates of the Sect Leader often spy outside Luomei Valley. To protect the child, she doesn't even dare to leave the mountain gate…"

These words were like a needle, fiercely piercing Lin Che's heart.

Lin Che suddenly let go, and Daoist Lan Meng fell heavily to the ground, but he didn't dare to look up again, fearing that the person in front of him would directly kill him on the spot.

"Cough, cough, cough… I didn't lie to you. Because of this, Qianmei broke off relations with me. As a father, my heart was naturally twisted with pain!"

"Originally, I didn't plan to tell you, but seeing that you possess this strength, I am relieved… This Venerable One can die… but I only hope you can treat Qianmei and her child well. They are both pitiful people…"

Lin Che turned to look in the direction of the Rain Immortal Realm. The Void Clarity Sword hummed in its sheath, as if responding to his restless spiritual energy.

"Brother Qinglin, Brother Tuo Sen."

Lin Che's voice carried an imperceptible tremor, yet it remained steady, "Daoist Lan Meng will be held here for now. I'm going to Luomei Valley in the Rain Immortal Realm. I will return within three days."

Immortal Emperor Qinglin and Demonic God Tuo Sen exchanged glances and quickly nodded, "Don't worry, go. We'll keep an eye on things here and absolutely won't let him escape."

Lin Che said no more. The light blue spiritual energy around him suddenly erupted, transforming into a streak of light that soared into the sky, also wanting to see what exactly had happened.
