Li Muwan Successfully Breaks Through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage

Huang Long Zhenren also spoke at this moment. "Elder Liu Wenju is right. After all, our Heng Yue Sect has yet to produce a Nascent Soul ancestor. If we offend a Fifth-Grade Cultivation Nation, I'm afraid that would not be a wise choice."

If Lin Che were to leave Zhao Kingdom one day, the Fifth-Grade Cultivation Nation would surely come personally to demand justice once they learned of it. By then, even if Lin Che rushed back in time, he likely would not be able to protect the Heng Yue Sect.

Lin Che's gaze rested on the many elders of the Heng Yue Sect. Liu Wenju had now reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm. Presumably, it would not be long before he broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The other elders were also hovering between the middle and late stages. They likely would not need much time to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage either.

As for his master, Huang Long Zhenren, that guy was someone who hid his strength. He could raise his cultivation to a certain realm at any time, so there was naturally no need to worry that he would fail to break through.

"Fine. Next, I'll leave behind an array above the sect. It can ensure that no powerhouse below the Nascent Soul Transformation stage can break through it."

For the sake of safety, Lin Che also intended to leave something behind in Zhao Kingdom, protecting it from the harassment of cultivation nations of the same grade.

Lin Che floated into the air, then raised his hands before his chest. His index fingers and thumbs touched, forming a diamond-shaped pattern, as he softly chanted, "Appear!"

In an instant, the distant mountains began to shake violently. Before the eyes of every cultivator, something resembling a statue abruptly appeared.

Boundless energy radiated from the stone statue. Its mere aura was enough to make Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses feel the agony of the divide between life and death.

Lin Che nodded. "This item can ensure that Zhao Kingdom remains free from the disturbances of cultivation nations below the fifth grade. Consider it something for the cultivation sects within Zhao Kingdom to rely upon."

Elder Liu Wenju respectfully bowed toward Lin Che, a trace of reverence flashing through his eyes.

Lin Che turned and returned to his bamboo grove to resume cultivating. Once Wan'er truly broke through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he would take her back to Fire Ember Country to obtain a Sky Severance Pill.

He did not possess something like a Sky Severance Pill. The pills on him were all above the fourth grade, and Wan'er's strength was simply insufficient to absorb them. Thus, taking her back to Fire Ember Country was the best choice.

Moreover, Wan'er had not seen her older brother for several years. This could also give her some emotional support.

Time flew by, and several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Che, who had been in secluded cultivation, slowly opened his eyes. He could now sense the aura coming from Li Muwan's room. If he was not mistaken, Wan'er had already broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

In the original story, Li Muwan had only broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage after leaving Fire Ember Country. Yet now, she had broken through before the Fire Beasts of Fire Ember Country had changed. This was enough to show that her cultivation talent was anything but ordinary.

As long as she was given cultivation resources, breaking through to the Core Formation realm would be more than easy, would it not?

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother~"

At that moment, Li Muwan's clear voice came from her room, as soothing as a lark's song.

Lin Che exhaled a mouthful of blood-red turbid air and instantly teleported before Li Muwan. Looking at her flushed face and grateful eyes, a peculiar expression appeared on his own face.

"Senior Brother, I've broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage."

Li Muwan happily linked her arm through Lin Che's. Pressing her youthful lips together, she said playfully, "Now I only need one Sky Severance Pill to break through to the Core Formation realm. Then I'll be able to help Senior Brother as well."

Lin Che nodded. "There's no need for that. Your foundation is stable. Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future is well within reach."

"Mm-hmm~" Li Muwan smiled sweetly and asked, "Senior Brother, when are we returning to Fire Ember Country? I miss my brother and the others a little."

With one hand behind his back, Lin Che said softly, "In three days. I'll accompany you back to Fire Ember Country. I also have a few matters to take care of there."

Li Muwan nodded without asking what Lin Che intended to do. After all, everything Senior Brother did had its own reasons.

Once her brother learned that she had already broken through to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he would surely be overjoyed.

Her parents had died when she was very young. Her older brother, Li Qiqing, had raised her, and the two of them had joined the Luo He Sect together, beginning their cultivation through alchemy.

Several years had passed now. She wondered how her brother and the sect elders were doing. They probably missed her too.

At this time, the cleanup of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield was proceeding exceptionally smoothly because Zhao Kingdom had only the Heng Yue Sect left.

There had not even been any incidents involving the scramble for treasures.

The handsome young man at the front stared coldly into the distance, then murmured to himself, "Wang Lin, I don't know whether you're still alive, but rest assured. What Teng Huayuan did to my Wang Family, I, Wang Zhuo, will make them repay it a thousandfold, a hundredfold!"

"Junior Brother Wang Zhuo, you should wait until you break through to the Nascent Soul Stage before speaking of this."

Zhang Kuang, a Heng Yue Sect disciple, flew over. He naturally knew that Teng Huayuan had slaughtered the entire Wang Family, so he patted Wang Zhuo on the shoulder and spoke meaningfully.

Wang Zhuo clenched his fists. "The men, women, young, and old of my Wang Family were all slaughtered by Teng Huayuan. How can I possibly remain calm?"

"I don't understand. Why did Senior Lin Che help him reach the Soul Transformation stage? Could it be that Lin Che also wishes to aid a tyrant in his evil?!"

Zhang Kuang's face immediately turned livid. He swiftly looked around, and after confirming that no one had heard them, he lowered his voice. "Junior Brother Wang Zhuo, have you gone mad? How dare you speak of Senior Lin Che like that!"

"Senior Lin Che agreed to help Teng Huayuan because of Zhao Kingdom's unification. Besides, the Wang Family had not yet been destroyed at the time. Have you forgotten?"

Zhang Kuang understood Wang Zhuo's anger. After all, his biological parents had died right before his eyes. Anyone would likely have been grief-stricken, much less Wang Zhuo.

But the cultivation world had always been one where the strong preyed on the weak. If one wished to survive, one had to possess strength. Only when one's cultivation reached a certain realm could one avenge one's grievances and hatred!

Otherwise, mere empty words and barking wildly here were meaningless.

Wang Zhuo deeply exhaled a breath of hot air, then turned and continued searching the place for treasures. One day, he would break through to the Soul Transformation stage and reduce the Teng Family to ashes!

Just as Wang Zhuo seethed with fury, a young man in another direction slowly opened his eyes. He looked at his hands, and intense killing intent flashed through his eyes.

"Teng Huayuan! I, Wang Lin, swear at this moment that if I do not kill you and slaughter your entire Teng Family in this lifetime, then I, Wang Lin, shall never find rebirth for all eternity!!"
