A Primordial Spirit in the Soul Glimpse Realm?

Within the Cultivation Alliance, several cultivators at the peak of the Soul Transformation stage had gathered together, watching the events unfolding in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield with strange expressions.

"The Extraterrestrial Battlefield has been extremely unstable lately. There must be changes within it that we do not know about."

One rather handsome male Soul Transformation cultivator said gravely.

"It was perfectly fine when I went there last time. Only a few years have passed, so how did it suddenly worsen?"

Chi Xiong of the Giant Demon Race took a bite of an apple, equally finding it hard to believe. After all, no accidents had ever occurred in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. This sudden change naturally left them at a loss.

"It has done more than worsen. The cleanup of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield only allows Foundation Establishment cultivators to enter. A Soul Transformation stage cultivator like you went in—who knows what you might have damaged!"

Chi Xiong's mouth twitched. Pointing at the female cultivator before him, he cursed, "Who the hell are you talking to? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

"Enough, stop arguing. The Extraterrestrial Battlefield is already unstable. Those outside cannot enter, and those inside cannot leave. Tell me, how should we handle this?"

The earlier cultivator propped up his chin and narrowed his eyes.

"Ask people from a Sixth-Grade Cultivation Nation to repair it?"

Chi Xiong, the Giant Demon Race expert, snorted. "Are you insane? It's not as if you don't know the price the Sixth-Grade Cultivation Nation demands. Besides, it's far too expensive. We simply cannot afford it."

"If that is the case, then let the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield fend for themselves. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Before these Soul Transformation stage experts, the lives of those Foundation Establishment cultivators were like ants. So what if they all died in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield? It had nothing to do with them anyway.

Hearing this, Chi Xiong, the Giant Demon Race expert, rose to his feet and immediately stopped them. "No. The ones from Zhao Kingdom who entered the Extraterrestrial Battlefield are from the Heng Yue Sect, and the Heng Yue Sect now has a Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivator among its experts. If he learns that we abandoned his sect's disciples, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"This..."

The other Spirit Severing Stage cultivators looked at one another. They had no way to decide this matter either. If they indirectly offended that Nascent Soul Transformation stage expert, they could not bear the consequences.

"Then let us do this. We will directly cancel this cleanup of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield and search with our divine sense at full strength. Three days from now, we will jointly activate the Extraterrestrial Battlefield formation and have everyone leave. We will pretend this cleanup never happened. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Xiong nodded instinctively. At this point, there was no other option. This was the only way.

They would not offend Lin Che, and the Heng Yue Sect disciples could safely leave the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. It was killing two birds with one stone—why not?

By this time, Lin Che had long since left Zhao Kingdom. Before departing, however, he had informed the many experts of the Heng Yue Sect about the matter and told them that he would return to Zhao Kingdom in several years.

Zhao Kingdom was hundreds of millions of li away from Fire Ember Country. They would need to pass through several teleportation formations, and it would still take several months to reach Fire Ember Country.

In the azure, sea-like sky, a blood-red azure dragon raced wildly through the air. Looking closely, one would see a handsome man and beautiful woman in gorgeous robes seated atop its head.

"Senior Brother, at our current speed, we should reach Fire Ember Country in three months."

Li Muwan pursed her lips and smiled.

Lin Che nodded. The Desolate Beast-level azure dragon had long possessed the strength of the Nascent Soul Transformation stage. At its speed, they could reach the region where Fire Ember Country was located in three months even without using teleportation formations.

"Lei Ji, come out."

Lin Che opened his mouth and summoned Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji from within his sleeve.

Lei Ji, whose cultivation had yet to fully recover, immediately bowed to Lin Che. "Lei Ji greets Master."

"Let me ask you this. Back then, when Liu Qingyun, the deputy hall master of the Corpse Yin Sect, sealed you within the Corpse Yin Sect in Zhao Kingdom, why did he not directly make a move against you? With his strength, he should have been fully capable of stripping away your physical body while you were severely injured."

Lei Ji clasped his hands and replied, "In answer to Master, although Liu Qingyun's cultivation has reached that realm, my Giant Demon Race is not so easily provoked either. The Giant Demon Race does not exist only on Vermillion Bird Star; it can also be found in other star domains."

"Furthermore, my Giant Demon Race was merely a branch that migrated to Vermillion Bird Star. Liu Qingyun, the deputy hall master of the Corpse Yin Sect, did not have the ability to seize my body before everyone. Moreover, the energy within me is immense. He would need to expend vast amounts of spiritual power to have complete confidence."

Lin Che took a sip of fine wine and glanced sideways at Giant Demon Ancestor Leiji. In an even tone, he asked, "The forbidden curse I left in the Corpse Yin Sect can only last five hundred years. If it is discovered, do you have a way to deal with it?"

The forbidden curses from before had all been obtained by him in the Ancient God's Land and contained the Ancient God Power of Ancient God Tu Si.

Otherwise, with Lin Che's Nascent Soul Transformation stage cultivation, the instant he acted, Liu Qingyun, the deputy hall master of the Corpse Yin Sect, would have detected him with his primordial spirit.

Lei Ji frowned and said, "Liu Qingyun's primordial spirit has been asleep for many years. It possesses the strength of the Soul Glimpse Realm, but it is only a primordial spirit after all and cannot wield its true power. At most, it can reach the peak of the Soul Transformation Stage."

After hearing Lei Ji's words, Lin Che had his answer. If that was the case, then once he reached the Soul Transformation Stage, he would no longer need to fear Liu Qingyun, the deputy hall master of the Corpse Yin Sect.

"With Master's talent, five hundred years is more than enough for you to break through to the Soul Transformation Stage. When that time comes, you can simply destroy that man's primordial spirit."

Lin Che said nothing. He continued savoring the fine wine in his wine gourd while glancing at Li Muwan beside him, who was stabilizing her cultivation.

After clasping his hands in salute, Lei Ji turned and merged back into Lin Che's space to continue recovering his strength. Only by restoring his cultivation to its peak would he no longer need to fear the experts of the Corpse Yin Sect.

Before they knew it, three months had passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Che and Li Muwan successfully arrived in the region where Fire Ember Country was located.

Because of Wang Lin's appearance, the Extraterrestrial Battlefield had been forced to close, and all cultivators inside were teleported out. Wang Lin, disguised as Ma Liang, also left the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

"Senior Brother, the Embergold Mountains are ahead. Once we cross them, we will reach Fire Ember Country. The Luo He Sect is within them. When the time comes, my brother will definitely be very happy."

"So this is the Embergold Mountains. Then that fellow is here as well?"

Lin Che slowly rose to his feet and stood with his hands behind his back, his peripheral vision sweeping across the area.

The Embergold Mountains were filled with unimaginable fire-attributed energy. This place was practically a forbidden zone for living beings. Lava and barren stone stretched everywhere, and the bones of animals could even be seen scattered about.
