Chapter 410: with translation of chapter title

Saint Embryo

Ruiwo Grand Sage

Suosi Grand Sage

Because the sage embryo, it is neither the Ruiwo Grand Sage nor the Sisuo Grand Sage, nor any member of the Diomande family.

Even so, if the spouse of the sage embryo is a Diomande, this news would also be good enough.

Shandora

Xu Jing Heavenly Master

Although from past to present, the sage embryo Linke Grand has shown a strong sense of belonging to the academy, and great friendliness toward the Diomande family; among the third generation of Diomandes, he is on good terms with Fulisite; among the fourth generation, he has a close relationship with Shanduola; but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Heavenly Master's Manor

Immortal God Civilization

Therefore, speaking from the heart, both the Ruiwo Grand Sage and the Sisuo Grand Sage believe that Linke Grand becoming the sage embryo is, for the Ruiwo-Sisuo Academy, purely good news; for the Diomande family, it is not necessarily so.

The Xu Jing Heavenly Master, from the reactions of the Ruiwo Grand Sage and the Sisuo Grand Sage, saw some things that had already been anticipated before offering congratulations.

Lisandra

Without letting Linke Grand suffer suspicion, alienation, exclusion, or even repression at the Ruiwo-Sisuo Academy, how can the Heavenly Master's mansion have a basis to further win over Lin Ke?

No matter which universe, a continual influx of fresh blood is always good.

Moreover, needless to say, the Immortal-God civilization must make multifaceted preparations in response to the Dharma-ending crisis.

If it is indeed possible to win over Linke Grand, who among the younger generation of wizards in the wizard civilization is most likely to advance to sage, then the Immortal-God civilization, the heavenly court, and the Heavenly Master's mansion—three groups of different natures—would all benefit greatly.

Furthermore, do not forget that Linke Grand's true spirit came riding within one of two beams of light, crossing the universe.

Human Immortal Martial Arts World

The Ruiwo Grand Sage seemed unfazed, smiling and saying, "Grand wizard, clearing away mental obstacles, is indeed worthy of congratulations."

The Sisuo Grand Sage followed up, saying, "Ruiwo, I think the academy and the Diomande family should each prepare a generous gift for the Grand wizard. The academy's portion counts as welfare; the family's portion is a congratulatory gift."

Linke Grand

Friste Dean

Lucia Family

Diomande Family

After a moment, the Sisuo Grand Sage decided: "Let her do it. Firstly, women are more meticulous; secondly, there are some misunderstandings and conflicts between Lisangdela and the Grand wizard that still need to be completely resolved."

Paused for a moment, Great Sage Suosi then said: "Besides, recall Shanduola. The vanguard team there will definitely need a long time to rest and reorganize, replenish and reorganize, train; there's nothing major. She has a good relationship with the Grand Wizard, and she is also the daughter of Lisangdela..."

Saying this, Great Sage Suosi paused again, turned their head and glanced at Great Sage Ruiwo.

The two were of one mind.

Even without eye contact, Great Sage Ruiwo could guess what Great Sage Suosi was thinking.

Great Sage Ruiwo agreed with that idea.

But we still need to ask the person concerned for their opinion.

After all, this is a matter of far-reaching consequence, and given Lisangdela's precedent, Shanduola may not necessarily accept it.

Great Sage Suosi quickly understood Great Sage Ruiwo's idea, nodded slightly, and gave their approval.

Anyway, even if Shanduola is willing, this cannot be rushed; it must be done gradually, naturally.

Otherwise, it could easily cause a backlash.

The couple were busy solving riddles madly; the Void Tranquil Daoist beside them didn't quite know what was going on inside, yet showed no sign of impatience.

He stood silently, watched silently, and also secretly calculated.

After leaving the conference room, Lin Ke took out his transport vehicle and came to the villa gifted by Dean Fulisite.

Here, Lin Ke and Mo Li lived for quite a while, and everywhere was filled with their shared memories.

Revisiting the old place, Lin Ke felt little sentimental emotion.

He had merely parted briefly from Mo Li; it was not that they could never reunite, nor that they would never see each other again.

After staying a while in the villa, he brewed a cup of clear tea, chatted with Fuluoduo, paid attention to the current changes in the immortal martial world, and then Lin Ke received a message from Rodrigo.

Accompanied by the Luqi ya Family, renamed 'Yaqi', Suolun Luqi ya, who were managing an important world for Rodrigo, arrived.

"Long time no see."

Setting down the teacup, Lin Ke murmured softly, then went out.

Following the coordinates and route given in the message, Lin Ke arrived at the point designated by Rodrigo at top speed.

This is a seaside cliff.

Rodrigo built a sea-view vacation house on the cliff's edge, enjoying the seaside scenery exclusively.

Suolun Luqi ya stood outside the vacation house with a grim expression, eyes blazing with furious anger and filled with bewilderment.

"Long time no see, Wizard Suolun."

Lin Ke stepped down from his transport vehicle and greeted cheerfully.

"Long time no see, Linke Grand."

Suolun returned the greeting, but his demeanor and tone were certainly not as lighthearted as Lin Ke's.

He didn't have a hint of cheerfulness.

"How so, quite unexpected?"

After sizing up Suolun's demeanor, Lin Ke asked.

"Indeed, quite unexpected."

Suolun nodded, frankly admitting, 'It's been so long; I've also paid a price, I thought you had long forgotten me.'

"How could I forget? I couldn't forget at all."

Lin Ke smiled and asked in a very relaxed tone, "You think, you're driving a flying car, out of the city, blowing cool wind and singing a song, suddenly got blown up by a cannon. Seriously injured, near death, afterwards also because of that encountered a life-and-death crisis. Can you forget it?"

Suolun fell silent upon hearing that.

After a moment, Suolun spoke with a hoarse voice: "Indeed, I cannot forget."

Pausing, Suolun asked: "Then what do you want now? Kill me? If you want to kill me, then go ahead, I'm standing here, waiting for you to take my life."

Lin Ke furrowed his brows, puzzled, asked back: "Didn't Great Sage Luodelige tell you about the agreement I reached with him?"

"What terms?"

Suolun likewise asked back, puzzled.

"Um..."

Lin Ke pondered a moment, then waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't say, it's not important."

Saying only half, keeping people in suspense, is extremely annoying and bound to get you hit.

At this moment, Suolun really wanted to beat to death Lin Ke before him, but he couldn't, nor could he do it.

Over these years, Suolun has neither stagnated nor regressed, and has already been promoted to fourth-level sage.

However, Suolun knows that even though both are fourth-level sages, he is absolutely no match for Linke Grand.

The Luqi Ya family merely excised the tumor, renamed to the Aqi family, relied on Lady Lisangdala, restarted, and developed toward a higher stage.

Not being isolated from the world, but completely sunk.

Suolun Luqi Ya has always kept track of external news. The matter of fourth-level sage Linke Grand unilaterally beating up a bunch of younger-generation fifth-level sages is something Suolun naturally heard about.

If they faced off, it would definitely end with Suolun Luqi Ya being killed in one move.

If there were a second possibility, it would certainly be that Linke Grand didn't want him to die too quickly, too easily.

Taking a deep breath, Suolun suppressed his inner agitation and directly asked: "Stop beating around the bush, speak up—what exactly do you want to do with me?"

"Hehe..."

Lin Ke suddenly burst out laughing, making Suolun feel bewildered.

While discussing serious matters, what does suddenly laughing mean?

Or do you think, in your view, discussing my Suolun Luqi Ya's life and death is a laughable matter?

Thinking this, Suolun felt insulted.

Although Luodelige Di'aomande handed him over to Linke Grand to handle, that in itself is an insult.

But that insult is far less than the current insult, making Suolun find it hard to accept.

The reason is that the Di'aomande family is too strong, Luodelige Di'aomande too strong, to the point that the Luqi Ya family and Suolun himself cannot muster even a hint of resistance.

And although Linke Grand is strong, not only invincible among peers, he can also, as a fourth-level sage, beat up fifth-level sages, yet not strong enough to cause despair.

Suolun does not believe that Linke Grand, as a fourth-level sage, can fight and win against a sixth-level sage.

As long as he isn't that strong, the combined strength of the whole Aqi family could still measure up against Linke Grand, deciding victory or defeat, life or death.

In Suolun's view, Linke Grand himself knows this, which is why he arranged for Luodelige Di'aomande to appear and stage today's incident.

Lin Ke stopped laughing, looking at Suolun who never understood why he was laughing, the boredom that had already arisen in his heart grew even more bored.

No wonder so many people feel lost and empty after taking revenge.

"I won't do anything to you."

Waving his hand, Lin Ke said indifferently, "Originally I wanted to recreate on you what I once experienced, but now I don't want to."

Upon hearing that, Suolun's Adam's apple moved up and down as he swallowed.

Upon hearing the words "recreate what I once experienced," Suolun sensed from Lin Ke's calm eyes and indifferent tone an intense killing intent.

No spiritual power fluctuation, no magic fluctuation, no sorcery, no magical implements...

Merely the killing intent unconsciously emanating from Linke Grand suppressed Suolun Luqi Ya, making him unable to move, feeling he would die in the next second.

This feeling of life and death being in another's hands, this near-death experience, made Suolun Luqi Ya realize that if Lin Ke didn't change his mind, he would truly be doomed to die.

Even being unable to resist at all, he was certain to die.

Because Linke Grand wanted to kill him, he couldn't even be aware of it.

Suolun suddenly felt ridiculous.

He had always thought he already held Linke Grand in high regard.

He hadn't expected that he still underestimated him, and by a huge margin.

What, the idea that gathering the whole Aqi family's strength could match Linke Grand and decide victory or defeat, life or death?

Bullshit!

If Linke Grand truly had murderous intent, not even all members of the Aqi family would be enough for him to kill.

"Afraid?"

Glancing at the dazed Suolun, Lin Ke curled the corner of his mouth into a sneer: "If you're scared, you'd better go back early, live well, live longer."

Having said that, Lin Ke turned and left.

Watching Lin Ke's back, Suolun Luqi Ya suddenly went weak in the knees and knelt down.

His head also involuntarily lowered.

From afar, it looked as if Suolun Luqi Ya was kneeling to beg Lin Ke's forgiveness, or to thank Lin Ke for his grace.

However, Lin Ke did not force Suolun to kneel, and Suolun himself had no intention to kneel.

This happened purely because Suolun's will, for a moment, could not control his body.

In the seaside vacation house.

Luodelige Di'aomande, who had been paying attention to this situation, flashed a glint in his eyes.

Lisangdala standing beside Luodelige remained silent.

After a long while, Luodelige spoke, his voice low and tone serious: "Grandfather and grandmother's meaning is for you to prepare two gifts for Linke Grand, one is the academy's welfare, the other is a family congratulatory gift. You personally select and personally deliver it. Do you understand the deep meaning?"

Hmm.

Lisandela nodded, looking out at the sea-view room, but even after regaining her composure, Soren Lucia, still kneeling on the ground and unable to get up no matter how she struggled, added another emphasized sentence, "I understand."

I hope you really understood.

Rodrigo said calmly, "Linke Grand is no longer what he once was. Just a hint of unconscious killing intent can resonate with the will of the wizard world; you know what this means even if I don't say it."

After a pause, Rodrigo's gaze likewise fell on the bulging veins in Soren Lucia's neck, who had barely managed to stand up, he continued:

This person is already wasted. Linke Grand didn't kill him, yet he carried out a revenge better than killing him.

Just as Linke Grand said, he can live a long life.

But the cost of living a long life is that he must watch helplessly as his most cherished Yaqi family declines bit by bit, eventually heading toward destruction.

It's simply because Linke Grand dislikes the Yaqi family, very much so.

The Immortal God Civilization says, "Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs. The sage is not benevolent; he treats the people as straw dogs."

Sage, sage reincarnation, sage embryo—it's still best not to have too many strong personal likes and dislikes.

Our academy, our family, in future dealings with Linke Grand, we must be more cautious and more secure.

Even if we cannot improve relations, we must not let him develop hatred.

Unless the will of the wizard world withdraws its favor from him, stripping him of his sage embryo status and qualifications.

Just like what happened to Michelle back then.

Hmm.

Lisandela's mind is in turmoil now; in response to Rodrigo's lengthy discourse, she merely nodded as a reply.

The 'sage embryo' mentioned by the Void Tranquil Heavenly Master is not merely a description; it also represents a power.

Under the permission and active facilitation of the will of the wizard world, the mortal immortal martial world is anchored to that island in the Storm Sea; the positive impact it brings to Linke is not merely a promotion to Fifth-level Sage and increased strength, but a comprehensive transformation.

The most obvious transformation is possessing the ability similar to 'words become law' that only a great sage-level wizard can have.

Every word and deed can easily trigger resonance with the will of the wizard world.

Now Linke, with the identity and strength of a Fifth-level Sage, cannot utterly crush an ordinary Sixth-level Sage, but he can still easily defeat one in battle.

o￠o

After completing a series of upgrades including the 'Great Universe Meditation Method', various buff statuses, natal constructs, and other set advancements, it is highly likely to achieve utter crushing of an ordinary Sixth-level Sage.

Linke, walking away nonchalantly with his back to Soren Lucia, felt his heart light and at peace.

The sounds of wind, waves, and his heartbeat gradually merged together.

Heaven and man as one.
