Chapter 98: Snow-covered, the Mortal world is filled with the starving.

Li Muwan wrapped her arms around Lin Che's neck, her cherry lips parted slightly, and she smiled, "Senior Brother, I bought many good things at the market today, and guess who I saw?"

"Who?"

Lin Che rubbed Li Muwan's cheek and asked softly.

"Do you remember my Disciple, Zhou Lin?" Li Muwan sat on Lin Che's lap and said softly, "My Disciple Zhou Lin once took on a Disciple named Wang Lin. There is a wooden house in the east of the city filled with wood carvings, and the person inside is none other than the Disciple who left the Yuntian Sect, Wang Lin."

Hearing that Wan'er had already met Wang Lin, Lin Che did not feel surprised; after all, looking at the current timeline, Wang Lin was also here to achieve a Breakthrough to the Soul Formation Realm.

And the Concept he was comprehending was Life and Death.

The Concept of Life and Death is a Realm of the Heavenly Dao; everyone has life and death, and even a Cultivator is no exception. Therefore, this Concept is extremely overbearing and can be said to surpass the Concepts of many others.

"I didn't expect him to be here for Soul Transformation as well. However, due to time constraints, I didn't stay there too long and came back to prepare lunch for you."

Li Muwan hopped off Lin Che's lap, carried the bamboo basket, and walked toward the kitchen, having completely regarded herself as a Mortal, never missing a meal.

One must know that Li Muwan's nature had always been gentle, even somewhat fragile, but within this fragility lay an unimaginable strength.

Lin Che slowly stood up. He did not go to look for Wang Lin, nor did he interfere with life in the east of the city; they only needed to continue comprehending their Concepts here.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years flew by. The entire capital of the Southern State had transformed from its original prosperity into a desolate place devoid of people.

The heavy snow over these years had completely covered the entire territory of the Southern State. Coupled with the protection of the Formation barrier, the common people here could not leave even half a step. They could only follow the imperial court's decree and arrange for young adults to clear the accumulated snow within the country.

At this moment, Lin Che, who was Cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, and at the same time, the scenery before him changed.

Lin Che, who had originally been in the room, suddenly appeared within an endless galaxy.

In the galaxy, there was a long passage, yet no one within this passage could reach this place, as if there was a sign that one could never reach the end.

Lin Che placed one hand behind his back and narrowed his eyes, saying, "So that's how it is. It seems that person finally couldn't help himself."

As Lin Che's voice fell, an old man with white hair sat on a giant rock not far away. When this old man passed by Lin Che, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation, and a look of great interest appeared in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that on this abandoned Cultivation planet, there would be someone with such profound comprehension. To have reached the Middle Stage of the Ascendant Realm at only a few hundred years old is truly unfathomable."

"Without millions of years or more, one cannot find the Origin of such a Heavenly Dao. However, by that time, your Physical Body would likely have long since decayed, destined for death and the dissipation of your Dao."

"This old man is Tian Yunzi. Let us form a good connection today. If you can leave this abandoned Cultivation planet, you may come to the Tian Yun Planet to be my Personal Disciple and follow me for ten thousand years."

Tian Yunzi spoke slowly.

Lin Che narrowed his eyes, looking at Tian Yunzi, who possessed immense energy, and recognized the other party's true identity.

In the original work, it was described that the Tian Yunzi before him was actually transformed from a fragment of the Heavenly Dao and had once swallowed the purple soul of the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable.

Reappearing in the Immortal Astral Continent, he still schemed to seize Wang Lin's Physical Body.

The Cave World Tian Yunzi had the cultivation of the Third Decay of Heaven and Man, possessed three thousand Clones, and was the master of the Tian Yun Planet. His true form was the spirit of the boundary fixing compass, a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, and he was a Clone of the Grand Tutor of the Ancient Dao on the Immortal Astral Continent, having once swallowed the seventh soul, the purple soul, of the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable during the second Reincarnation.

He practiced the Dao of Heavenly Fortune, calculating all secrets of heaven, but due to the Heavenly Defying Bead, he miscalculated many times regarding Wang Lin. He had undergone ninety-seven cycles of Reincarnation in the Cave World, devoured Ling Tianhou of the Cave World in the ninety-eighth, and was about to perform Possession on Wang Lin in the ninety-ninth to reach the third step.

The Immortal Astral Grand Tutor of the Ancient Dao, Tian Yunzi, was at the Half-Step Treading Heaven Realm, and his true form was the spirit of the boundary fixing compass. He attempted to perform Possession on Wang Lin to reach the fourth step and open the Ancient God Realm, but failed because Wang Lin comprehended Reincarnation. As Tian Yunzi's Divine Sense dissipated, only a wisp of gray Qi remained to escape.

Tian Yunzi had always had an ambiguous relationship with the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable, and the appearance of the Immortal Astral Grand Tutor of the Ancient Dao, Tian Yunzi, was a Fusion of the Cave World Tian Yunzi and the Seven-Colored Immortal Venerable.

In short, Tian Yunzi was not a good person; all he wanted was his Disciple's Physical Body. As for what he said earlier about taking him as a Personal Disciple and having him follow for ten thousand years, it was clearly because he wanted to devour Lin Che's Physical Body to increase his own cultivation.

Tian Yunzi stroked his beard with his right hand and waved it forward gently; Lin Che's Divine Sense instantly returned to his own body.

Lin Che opened his eyes and looked at the brilliant, dazzling starry sky, thinking to himself, "Old man, if you want to devour my Nascent Soul, you have to see if you have the ability."

As a Transmigration practitioner, Lin Che knew the thoughts of this immortal old man, Tian Yunzi, better than anyone else. Presumably, before finding him, he had already tricked Wang Lin into becoming his Named Disciple.

Lin Che placed one hand behind his back and came to the courtyard. Looking at the snow that had stopped, he narrowed his eyes and said, "The Restriction is continuing to increase. It seems that within a few years, a war will break out here."

In the following years, the common people in the northern city of the Southern State had basically all left, and even Li Muwan rarely went out, spending the vast majority of her time at home comprehending her Concept.

To allow Wan'er to comprehend her Concept more deeply, Lin Che had long since become gray-haired, moving slowly like an old man in his twilight years.

Li Muwan was the same; this was the only way to undergo the Mortal Transformation without being discovered. Therefore, the two of them were just like an ordinary elderly couple, not arousing any suspicion.

Lin Che sat on a chair, quietly waiting for Wan'er's Soul Transformation. During this time, for the sake of safety, he still used a special Restriction to wrap the area to prevent Wan'er from being disturbed and any accidents from occurring.

Over these years, the Southern State had long been covered in snow, but fortunately, it had not snowed continuously. Until a month ago, the heavy snow had been continuous, and even the Mortal world had long since become a living hell.

Everywhere there were corpses wrapped in straw mats; these corpses were left uncleaned and could only be left on the ground to be gnawed on by starving dogs.

The Cultivators of the Four Sects Alliance had tried to set up Formations in the sky to block the snowfall and had also tried to clear the snow with magic power, but both were to little avail.

Finally, following the decree of the Cultivators, the Mortal emperor conscripted a large number of Mortals to clear the accumulated snow; countless casualties occurred during this period, and everywhere there were corpses frozen to death.

Lin Che stroked his white beard and said softly, "Wan'er should be able to achieve a Breakthrough to the Soul Formation Realm in these coming days."
