Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Chapter 162: Gifting the Star Cultivation Crystal and Azure Dragon Bloodline to Li Qiqing
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Li Qiqing suddenly turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, because he had no idea when someone had appeared behind him.

Li Qiqing quickly turned around, and when he saw that head of long, silver-white hair, the image of that person from a hundred years ago instantly flashed into his mind.

"It's you..." Li Qiqing was briefly surprised, then immediately knelt down and kowtowed again towards Lin Che's position, "Junior Li Qiqing greets senior."

Lin Che, with one hand hovering behind his back, said with a calm expression, "It's been a hundred years since we last met. You're now at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. It seems you've acquired quite a few good things in these past hundred years."

Li Qiqing smiled bitterly, and just as he was about to speak, he felt a surge of energy flowing through his body.

Immediately, to Li Qiqing's astonishment, his cultivation level directly broke through from the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late-stage, perfect Nascent Soul realm.

Lin Che put one hand behind his back and looked at Li Qiqing in front of him, saying, "I have left a seed condensed with immortal power in your body, which can help you break through to the peak stage. In the future, you will still need to protect Vermilion Bird Star."

Feeling the energy fluctuations within his body, Li Qiqing respectfully bowed to Lin Che before him, tears streaming down his face, and said gratefully, "Thank you, senior."

Lin Che waved his right hand again, and at the same time, a blood-red Star Cultivation Crystal quietly appeared in front of Li Qiqing.

Li Qiqing touched his nose, looked at the Star Cultivation Crystal in front of him, and asked with some doubt, "Senior, what is this?"

"This item is the Star Cultivation Crystal from the Vermilion Bird Star, something that has been possessed by generations of Vermilion Bird disciples. I will give it to you today, along with the bloodline of the Guardian Azure Dragon."

Li Qiqing's eyes widened, his throat bobbed, and his voice trembled uncontrollably: "Senior, this...this is too precious! How could I, a junior, be worthy of such a heavy responsibility?"

Li Qiqing's fingertips trembled slightly, yet he dared not touch the Star Crystal floating in the air, as if it were the blazing sun high in the sky, and the slightest carelessness would scorch his soul.

Lin Che walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back, his body radiating wisps of dark blue light that outlined ancient and mysterious runes in the void.

"Opportunities are meant to be known by those who are destined to receive them. If you don't like it, you can give it to someone else. Whether you have this idea or not is up to you."

Before he finished speaking, the Star Crystal suddenly burst out with dazzling red light, transforming into thousands of starlight rays that surged into Li Qiqing's body.

Li Qiqing's veins bulged all over his body, and the excruciating pain made him curl up on the ground, but the landscape of the Vermilion Bird Star kept flashing through his mind.

As the secrets of the star array's operation and the inherited memories of successive generations of Vermilion Birds surged forth like a tidal wave, it was clear that the identity of the fifteenth generation Vermilion Bird at this moment belonged to him.

Lin Che put one hand behind his back and nodded slightly, saying, "It looks like it won't be long before you break through to the Peak stage. When that happens, Vermilion Bird Star will be yours."

Li Qiqing nodded emphatically and looked at Lin Che's position, saying, "Um... how is my sister?"

For so many years, Li Qiqing had been within the territory of the Chu Kingdom. He didn't even go back for his sister's wedding, so he always felt very guilty towards his sister.

Lin Che shrugged, glanced at Li Qiqing, and said softly, "Wan'er is doing well. As her older brother, you should go back and see her."

“Sigh…” Li Qiqing sighed softly, “I promised Wan’er that I would rebuild the cultivation sects in this place, but… during my seclusion, I learned of Wan’er’s wedding to you… and I was unable to return.”

Lin Che didn't say anything, but gently patted Li Qiqing's shoulder and turned to leave.

Li Muwan often thought of her brother, but she understood his current situation, so she didn't blame Li Qiqing for not returning. Li Qiqing looked at Lin Che, who had already left, and gently stroked the spot between his eyebrows, murmuring to himself, "Wan'er, I will come back. Wait for me. I will definitely upgrade Zhao Kingdom to a fifth-level cultivation kingdom, and... I will definitely make your lives better."

"I, Li Qiqing, am determined to obtain the fifteenth generation Vermilion Bird."

...............

Cultivating the magic sea, the stars are broken into chaos.

The land of the ancient gods.

In that boundless sea of ​​blood, atop a giant stone cone, a man with a head of unruly, blood-red hair suddenly raised his head, which had always been bowed.

Amidst his disheveled hair, a fierce and unparalleled aura was revealed, especially his blood-red eyes, which terrified all living beings. A cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"I have finally condensed a clone that can leave this place. Next, I will personally kill the brat Lin Che and then I will be able to obtain the memory inheritance of the ancient god Tu Si."

Tuo Sen's eyes were bloodshot. He had been trapped in the land of the ancient gods for countless years. Now, he had finally used those puppets to condense a clone. Once it was fully condensed, he could leave this place.

"Lin Che, you brat! If you can let me leave, then I will slaughter your entire cultivation kingdom, leaving not a single survivor! Hahahaha!!!"

Tuosen laughed loudly, his laughter echoing throughout the Blood Sea, causing the waves within to surge and surge in all directions.

"Lin Che, my day of liberation is near! After absorbing your inheritance, I will become an eight-star ancient god. At that time, who on the entire Vermilion Bird Star will be my match?!"

As Tuosen laughed wildly, several squeaking sounds came from the sea of ​​blood. Two little monkeys emerged from the sea of ​​blood and leaped to Tuosen's side.

The two little monkeys also let out shrill cries, causing the cultivator puppets within the sea of ​​blood to lie there, clutching their heads and roaring hoarsely.

…………

The Zhao Kingdom, a fifth-level cultivation kingdom.

After hundreds of years of trials and tribulations, the territory of Zhao is now vastly different from what it used to be. Cultivators are now as numerous as hairs on a cow, and powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are stationed here to govern this land.

Even in the capital city of Zhao, the Hengyue Sect disciples were in control, allowing the sects within Zhao to flourish once again.

This includes many Nascent Soul stage cultivators from fourth-level cultivation countries who come to join the Hengyue Sect, hoping to receive the sect's protection and improve their cultivation.

The Hengyue Sect naturally welcomed them. As long as they weren't vicious and wicked people who forced women into prostitution, the Hengyue Sect would choose to make them elders or stewards of the sect.

"Master's wife, why hasn't Uncle come back yet? I haven't seen him for so long."

Li Muwan gently patted Zhou Ru's head and said softly, "Little Ru'er, be good. Your master will be back soon."
