Chapter 115: Lin Potian—The Visitor from Beyond the Heavens!

"Damn it, Devouring Beast, you idiot, glug glug...!"

The Holy Emperor cursed loudly, but before he could finish a sentence, he choked on a mouthful of black water!

He was even more horrified in his heart; he was a Spirit Body, yet this black water could actually choke even a Spirit Body!

Furthermore, he didn't know how to swim!

"Glug glug..."

After a few moments, the Holy Emperor began to roll his eyes; no divine ability or Dao technique was useful at this moment, and like a drowning man, he sank downward.

Just then, a pair of large hands grabbed him tightly and swam rapidly toward the surface, emerging from the water.

"Cough, cough, many thanks, Young Master!" The Holy Emperor finally breathed in a mouthful of fresh air and hurriedly spoke to Lin Potian with gratitude.

Lin Potian's Qi and blood surged throughout his body, and he panted violently; he had no mind to investigate why the Holy Emperor couldn't swim, because from the moment they entered the water, the Primal Beast that had originally been dormant within him began to stir restlessly, almost causing his mind to lose stability!

Moreover, the Primal Beast within him had only looked toward a certain place in the void as soon as it emerged, as if confirming coordinates, yet it seemed uncertain; after all, a Primal Beast was an exceptionally difficult thing to understand!

He always felt there were perhaps some things he hadn't thought of, but he couldn't put them into words.

But there was no time to think at this moment; Lin Potian quickly pulled the Holy Emperor and swam rapidly toward the shore. Throughout the process, the Holy Emperor held onto Lin Potian tightly. The Holy Emperor couldn't swim at all, but fortunately, Lin Potian had excellent swimming skills when he was a mortal, and now, with the support of his cultivation, his speed was incredibly fast!

However, the Heishui He was over six thousand miles wide and over thirty thousand miles deep; even with Lin Potian's swimming skills, it took him half a stick of incense's time to reach the riverbank.

"Devouring Beast, I'll screw your grandfather; if I don't overturn your nest, I won't be able to vent my anger!"

As soon as the Holy Emperor reached the shore, he no longer had the panic from before; he cursed loudly and struck out with heavy fists!

In an instant, he summoned the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, stepped into mid-air, pointed the blade downward, and prepared to split the entire Heishui He vertically with one strike!

"Holy Emperor, come down, don't be impulsive," Lin Potian said softly.

"Devouring Beast, consider yourself lucky; if it weren't for our Young Master speaking up, I wouldn't spare you!" The Holy Emperor glared fiercely with his Silver Pupil at the Devouring Beast, which was looming in the Heishui He, and retreated to Lin Potian's side with some reluctance, asking in extreme confusion:

"Young Master, why not let me teach it a lesson? It almost got us both killed just now, and it knows the cultivation method for the Devouring Dao Law, which we haven't obtained yet. Why is this?"

"Because it has already transmitted the Devouring Starry Sky Method into my sea of consciousness. Perhaps it knew I could swim, which is why it deliberately threw us into this Heishui He; there must be other reasons for this," Lin Potian said in a deep voice, staring intently at the Devouring Beast, whose massive body was looming in the Heishui He.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor fell into deep thought. The Devouring Starry Sky Method was indeed the best method for cultivating the Devouring Dao Law. Since the Devouring Beast had already handed over the method, why did it suddenly act like a beast and throw both himself and the Young Master into the water?

And what did the Devouring Beast mean by that phrase about helping out?

The Holy Emperor couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he rubbed his hands and walked to the riverbank, chuckling: "Uh, Brother Devouring Beast, it was your Holy Emperor brother who spoke too loudly just now; I apologize, don't take it to heart!"

As he finished speaking, the Devouring Beast sprayed water from its upper nose and swam further and further away, not wanting to pay any attention to this idiot, the Holy Emperor.

"Don't go! You have to tell us what your last sentence meant, and what world are you entering? Give us a clue! Come back, don't just read and not reply like a machine!"

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor became anxious; was it not giving him face?

How dare it not give him face?

But in the Heishui He, he really wasn't sure he could beat this Devouring Beast right now...

"Forget it, it doesn't understand human speech," the Holy Emperor muttered, turning to walk toward Lin Potian, spreading his hands helplessly.

"I'll go ask it..."

Lin Potian's mouth twitched; given the Holy Emperor's way of asking, it would be a miracle if the Devouring Beast could speak!

Tap, tap, tap...

Lin Potian walked to the riverbank, looking at the receding Devouring Beast with a profound gaze, his voice echoing over the vast river surface with a hint of sincerity and confusion: "Can you give me a reason?"

The Devouring Beast's massive body paused slightly in the water, as if hesitating, and then it slowly turned around, a pair of huge eyes looking through the black water to meet Lin Potian's gaze.

A low and distant voice rang out in Lin Potian's mind, like a call from ancient times:

"You should return to your true world and bring everything to an end!"

"Xiao Buwen is very strong, but he is ultimately not a person of that world; he lacks one thing and cannot do it. But you can, yet your time has not yet come; telling you now would only increase your troubles."

"And you still have untapped power that originates from within."

As soon as the voice fell, the Devouring Beast's figure flashed and instantly disappeared into the Heishui He, leaving only ripples slowly spreading across the river surface.

Lin Potian was completely stunned on the spot, as if petrified; what had he just heard? Return to... the true world?

But from childhood to adulthood, from his humble beginnings to his glory, he had always been in these Zhutian Wanjie!

"Young Master, that stinking Devouring Beast... what did it say to you?"

The Holy Emperor walked over, and seeing Lin Potian's blank expression, he stopped the curse that had been on the tip of his tongue.

Lin Potian turned his head stiffly, his lips pale, his voice trembling: "Holy Emperor, the Devouring Beast said I am not a person of this world and told me to return to the true world. But... haven't I always been a person of the Zhutian Wanjie? I have family, I once had parents, I am not a Visitor from Beyond the Heavens, right?"

After the Holy Emperor was slightly stunned, he thought to himself: has the Young Master become numb to deceiving himself?

He was never a person of this world to begin with!

To be precise, the Young Master only grew up in the Zhutian, but he truly did not come from this world; the only thing he had in common with this world was that he was also of the Human Race, nothing more.

But the Young Master's blank and helpless look didn't seem faked. The Holy Emperor's heart sank; he felt that things couldn't go on like this. It seemed he had to tell the whole truth!
