Chapter 116: Unacceptable, Meeting an Old Friend, Di Tian!

~9 min read 1,658 words

"Young Master, you are the Visitor from Beyond the Heavens, and you come from that world. The Master must have chosen you precisely because you could obtain the Heavenly Heart Imprint of that world."

"I have always wondered why you could still be a normal Human Race; you must know that those who come out of that world are all... not quite normal. But you, Young Master, are normal, and you are very loyal. If you hadn't fished me out just now, I fear I would have truly drowned in this Heishui He!"

The Holy Emperor finished speaking.

Tap, tap, tap...!

Lin Potian subconsciously took a few steps back in disbelief; the information in the Holy Emperor's words was too vast, and he truly found it hard to digest for a moment!

"Holy Emperor, what nonsense are you spouting? I have a younger sister, Lin Wan'er, and I have had parents before. I also grew up in the Heavens, so how could I come from beyond the Heavens? Stop joking!"

Lin Potian shook his head with a smile and retorted, but his heart was far from calm.

"Young Master, is Lin Wan'er truly your biological sister? And are your parents truly your biological parents? They were merely your foster parents."

The Holy Emperor raised his head gloomily, feeling that since he had decided to speak some truths, he must cut the Gordian knot and say it all at once!

Lin Potian's expression changed drastically, his emotions becoming slightly agitated as he let out a low roar: "Holy Emperor, if you continue to speak recklessly and spout nonsense, I will absolutely not say another word to you! Think about it, how could Wan'er not be my sister? Back then, when I went to the Ji Family to save her, the Soul Replacement was what brought her out; that is a divine ability that can only be used between the closest of kin!"

Seeing Lin Potian's agitation, the Holy Emperor was not angry. He knew well that when anyone's psychological threshold is exceeded, they will become hysterical—everyone is the same. Regarding this phenomenon, the Holy Emperor simply called it—Break Defense!

"Young Master, it is also a matter of fate. If Lin Wan'er's soul had not been so weak at the time, and her state had been slightly better, you might not have been able to swap her out. You were only able to swap her because your realm was high, allowing you to forcibly extract her."

"If you still do not believe this, then think about why, when Lin Wan'er's soul was taken away by Ji Wuzhong, you didn't have the slightest bond of blood or palpitation of the soul?" The Holy Emperor's expression was exceptionally calm; he loved to tell the truth.

"Hahaha, everything you say is fake, fake!"

Lin Potian flew away in an instant; he didn't believe it, he didn't believe it, he simply didn't want to believe it!

"Young Master, lies do not hurt people; the truth is the sharp blade."

The Holy Emperor followed closely behind Lin Potian, shaking his head and muttering to himself. He knew that this fact was very hard for Lin Potian to accept for the time being.

But that is exactly how it is: the more one cannot accept it, the more one must know it in advance; otherwise, it is a slow blade, and the torture of that would be too painful!

"It's not true, it's not true!"

"Haha, in the end, is it true or false? I can't tell!"

Lin Potian sprinted all the way, his figure like a meteor streaking across the night sky. He circled the Zhutian Wanjie dozens of times, breaking through those Forbidden Zones shrouded in mist and filled with supreme experts and hidden dangers, yet under Lin Potian's feet, they were as flat as level ground.

Those masters of the Forbidden Zones were initially as if facing a great enemy, but Lin Potian merely passed by, then left stumbling as if crazed.

In the end, they reached a conclusion: Lin Potian was likely suffering from Qi deviation and had gone mad.

After wandering around, Lin Potian arrived at Yiyu again, and a familiar old friend blocked his path.

It was Di Tian.

After being blocked, Lin Potian's bloodshot eyes saw that he had actually turned into a decrepit, elderly man, and he was covered in wounds; even his cultivation... had fallen to the level of a Quasi-Emperor.

At just one glance, Lin Potian felt an extreme, overwhelming rage in his heart!

Because if it weren't for the gift of that Immortal medicine from Di Tian, he would have likely died of old age long ago.

And although Di Tian was a person of Yiyu, Lin Potian had always regarded him as a confidant and close friend. Now, having not seen him for only two years, how could Di Tian have become like this?

How proud a person he once was, known in Yiyu as the strongest Emperor, the Dizun!

Yet now he was so desolate. Lin Potian's heart felt truly pained, even feeling it as if it were his own!

Lin Potian immediately stepped forward, supported Di Tian's shoulders, and let out a low roar: "Who did this?"

Di Tian's shoulders trembled slightly from the support. He shook his head, stepped back half a step, and actually... bowed to Lin Potian: "Fellow Daoist Potian, I am already decrepit and old, but you are still the same as before, your demeanor unchanged."

"But I would like to ask, Fellow Daoist Potian, what happened to you just now?"

Di Tian raised his head. In his eyes, Lin Potian saw deep concern, and at the same time, his heart stalled, filled with endless gloom.

Di Tian had already placed himself in the position of an inferior.

Lin Potian could understand in his heart; Di Tian was a person who possessed pride no less than his own. Now that he had encountered such a change, how could he bear it?

"Di Tian, who exactly did this?"

"And don't be discouraged, I can help you recover!"

Lin Potian stepped forward another half step, closing the distance with Di Tian, and pressed him for an answer.

Hearing this, Di Tian's eyes brightened slightly, then he shook his head, lowering his head with a self-deprecating look: "There is no need. If I were to waste Fellow Daoist Potian's Immortal Power, I would be filled with endless fear."

"Di Tian!!"

"Raise your head! Where is that proud Dizun now?"

Lin Potian let out a low roar, and the latter subconsciously wanted to raise his head.

But he only raised it halfway before stopping, his body trembling incessantly. Di Tian asked himself in his heart: 'That's right, that proud Dizun has already been killed; now there only remains the lingering, gasping Di Tian.'

Di Tian lowered his head again, his tone exceptionally calm: "I cannot raise it anymore. As a mere Quasi-Emperor, how can I look directly at your Immortal countenance, Fellow Daoist?"

"Now, even in Yiyu, I have become a third-rate figure. The former Dizun has become a joke. But don't overthink it, Fellow Daoist; I am not complaining to you, I just wanted to say that the proud Dizun has already disappeared; he is gone."

"And as for why I am here, I just saw you sprinting continuously, your emotions unstable, with a faint risk of Qi deviation, so I wanted to come over and counsel you. But if it is not needed, I shall leave now."

Having said that, Di Tian seemed to no longer want to stay here and turned to leave.

Seeing this, with his old friend now so desolate, Lin Potian felt only endless sorrow in his heart. But Di Tian... should not be so desolate. He placed his hand back on the shoulder of the turning Di Tian and said in a deep voice: "Since you are unwilling to speak now, I will not force you, but I will make you... stand up again and find your pride!"

Di Tian was stunned, not understanding, but immediately a surging Immortal Essence was instantly poured into his body. He suddenly realized that Lin Potian was actually pouring his own cultivation into him!

"Stop quickly, you don't need to help me; this will deplete your own cultivation!"

Di Tian panicked and hurriedly spoke out.

Lin Potian did not respond, instead increasing the infusion of Immortal Essence even more. In just a short moment...

Di Tian returned to the Great Emperor realm!

But it wasn't over yet; Lin Potian continued to pour!

Because Yiyu cultivated the Dao Law of Devouring, Lin Potian even imparted the Devouring Starry Sky Art he had just obtained to Di Tian!

"Lin Potian, why are you helping me like this?"

When a technique suddenly appeared in his mind, Di Tian was terrified, his brain a blank slate!

"Because you are worth it. Back then, when I was about to die of old age, that Immortal medicine was given by you, so I will help you... return to the peak, and even... surpass the peak!" Lin Potian replied nonchalantly.

Boom...!

As Lin Potian continuously poured in his power, Di Tian's cultivation soared all the way up, rising steadily to return to the Peak Great Emperor realm!

Lin Potian then stopped; it was not that he could not raise it further, but that the Heavenly Dao did not allow for a direct ascension to become an Immortal.

Subsequently, Lin Potian also imparted the method for cultivating as a Red Dust Immortal to Di Tian.

"You... how am I to repay this?" Di Tian's appearance was renewed; he turned back, his whole body trembling, tears shimmering in his eyes. The world loves to kick a man when he is down, but those who offer help in times of need are rare, and Lin Potian was the only one who had reached out a helping hand to him.
