Chapter 135: When a Great Emperor-level being sees me, it is like a frog looking up to see the moon in the sky!
After a few breaths, Lin Potian finally calmed down and said word by word: "He is not worthy of you calling him Great-Grandfather. And Lin Yi, what exactly is going on? How could he possibly defeat you?"
Lin Potian only felt it was very strange; in his memory, Lin Yi was at most twenty years old, yet he could actually defeat Lin Yan—this was simply inconceivable!
Moreover, how did Lin Yi come to this Endless Divine Land?
So, could it just be a case of having the same name?
Indeed, one cannot rule out that possibility; after all, it is truly difficult to explain!
Mentioning Lin Yi, Lin Yan's face immediately collapsed, and he smiled bitterly: "Old Ancestor, Lin Yi appeared out of thin air, emerging suddenly. That day was also the first time I saw Lin Yi, and it was only through Great-Grandfather's introduction that I learned his name was Lin Yi..."
Afterwards, Lin Yan's eyes dimmed, "It was also him who shattered all my pride with a single glare and beat me into a serious injury. I will never forget his disdainful look; he treated me completely like air."
Upon hearing this, Lin Potian blurted out: "Double Pupil?"
Lin Yan closed his eyes and nodded. That memory was simply painful; every time he thought of it, it was as if he lived under Lin Yi's shadow, and he smiled bitterly: "Yes, he is a Chongtongzhe, but his state is very strange; he is always shedding tears, with a face full of sorrow."
Lin Potian's heart tightened instantly; how much suffering had Yi endured!
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he fell silent. After a moment, his voice became extremely low as he asked: "Old Ancestor, how do you intend to deal with me?"
"Now that I am but a wisp of a remnant soul, I still have some use. Although I do not know what your plan is, perhaps I am still useful while alive. Old Ancestor, erase my memories." Lin Yan asked and answered himself.
"Lin Yan, you wanted brilliance, didn't you? I will give you an ending."
Lin Potian finished speaking calmly, slowly raised his hands, and tapped his fingertips. Ripples stirred in the air, and circles of pale golden light surged around his body; that was the sign of performing the Soul Cleansing Art.
The light gradually condensed into an illusory palm, which pressed gently onto Lin Yan's forehead.
Lin Yan only felt a warm force pouring into his soul. The negative factors brought by all the past humiliation, unwillingness, and pain slowly melted away like ice and snow meeting the warm spring sun.
"Purify."
Lin Potian's low and magnetic voice echoed in Lin Yan's ears.
Lin Yan's soul became increasingly drowsy, and when he opened his eyes again...
"Old Ancestor, why are you here? And where is my physical body?"
Lin Yan looked pleasantly surprised, having completely forgotten everything from before.
"Regarding this matter, listen as I tell you the story slowly..."
Lin Potian smiled and recounted the events one by one, including Lin Yan's current status.
Lin Potian had merely cleared away the meeting between Lin Yan and himself, as well as all the unpleasant things encountered in his life, and reshaped his soul.
"Old Ancestor, so that's how it is. I didn't expect I would be so powerful now, hahaha!"
Lin Yan was like a different person, laughing out loud, full of pride, and had become an optimistic person.
Seeing this, Lin Potian shook his head and smiled bitterly; perhaps this was the true self of Lin Yan.
Lin Potian raised his hand slightly, intercepted a portion of Lin Yan's aura, and said softly: "Old Ancestor has a good place for you. Go into seclusion for a period of time, and your physical body will naturally grow back."
"Good, good, good! Then Old Ancestor, hurry and let me in!" Lin Yan nodded like a pounding pestle, looking impatient like a naive boy; where was even half the gloomy appearance from just a moment ago?
"Tongtian Token, open!"
Lin Potian flicked his sleeve lightly, and the Tongtian Token flew out from his sleeve, turning into a stream of light and hanging in mid-air. The portal opened wide, revealing the marvelous scenery inside, swirling with clouds and mist, and rich with spiritual energy!
"A good treasure, truly a good treasure! Old Ancestor, I'm going in!" Lin Yan was full of excitement and leaped in without hesitation, like a fish jumping into water, and was instantly sucked into the Tongtian Token!
After settling Lin Yan, Lin Potian called out softly: "Holy Emperor, it is your turn to come out."
Whoosh...!
"Young Master, what is it?"
The Holy Emperor manifested his Spirit Body instantly and asked in confusion.
"This is Lin Yan's memory and aura. You destroyed the person, so you must impersonate him for a while." Lin Potian handed the intercepted aura and memory to the Holy Emperor and said irritably.
"Oh, didn't I keep his soul according to your instructions?" The Holy Emperor scratched his head, quite puzzled. Could he be blamed for this?
"I am not blaming you, but since you destroyed Lin Yan's physical body, you must impersonate him for a while. Otherwise, how will we go to see the God of Gods later, and how will we get to your hometown, Shuiqiu? Haven't you always wanted to go back to Shuiqiu to take a look? If we can't pass the hurdle of the God of Gods, how are we going to get there?"
Lin Potian held his forehead and smiled bitterly, feeling that the Holy Emperor was truly the classic example of someone simple-minded but physically powerful—simply too typical!
Through Lin Yan's memories, Lin Potian already knew how to travel to Shuiqiu, but the path was already being monitored by the God of Gods. However, with this hurdle, the Holy Emperor certainly could not return to Shuiqiu.
"Oh right, then I'll just impersonate him!" The Holy Emperor slapped his head hard, suddenly enlightened!
Just as he took Lin Yan's memory and aura and was about to infuse them into himself, Lin Potian took out a mass of flesh and blood.
The Holy Emperor was startled upon seeing this and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"
Lin Potian smiled and said:
"Haven't you always wanted to take human form? That day I asked Yuan An Zhi Shen, and he told me the method to take human form and gifted me a piece of flesh and blood. This is the piece of flesh and blood on him with the greatest potential for division; if you use it, you can take human form. It's just that this will constrain your upper limit. I think if you obtain six pieces of such flesh and blood, perhaps your strength will not be affected much after you take human form."
"Young Master, you, you actually remembered all along. I thought you had forgotten."
The Holy Emperor's heart was slightly touched. It was true that he really wanted to take human form, but after possessing a human body, his strength would be greatly discounted, let alone returning to his peak!
This was also the Holy Emperor's concern; otherwise, with the Holy Emperor's strength, he could simply possess someone and put that person's soul to sleep to take human form—it would be easy!
But without the best method, the Holy Emperor had never dared to act rashly.
But he did not expect that Lin Potian had actually remembered this matter all along, kept it in his heart, and this method was indeed worth a try!
"Yuan An Zhi Shen is already a titled deity, equivalent to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If you form a body using the flesh and blood of six such titled deities, it should not affect your combat power much. On the contrary, after possessing a human body, your future will be broader." Lin Potian continued to speak easily, explaining the feasibility of this method in detail.
Although he said it easily, this was a method Lin Potian had thought about for a long time, pondering for who knows how many days and nights.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
The Holy Emperor's eyes turned red. He took the flesh and blood, stored it in the Tongtian Tower, and lunged at Lin Potian in a bear hug.
"Cough, cough, take it easy!"
Lin Potian's eyes rolled back from being squeezed, and he almost couldn't breathe!
At the same time, he felt even more terrified in his heart. What kind of strength does this dog Tower Spirit have? Now that he himself is a Divine Monarch, he still cannot see through him at all!
He even felt more and more like he was facing a towering mountain!
"Haha, Young Master, sorry about that!" The Holy Emperor rubbed his hands awkwardly with a sheepish grin.
"Holy Emperor, what exactly was your strength at your peak?"
"You said before that I wasn't qualified to know, fearing it would damage my Dao Heart. Now that I am a God Monarch, equivalent to an Immortal Monarch of the Immortal Domain, I should be able to know, right?" Lin Potian caught his breath and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
The Holy Emperor gave a mysterious smile, nodded, turned his back to Lin Potian, stood with his hands behind his back, and said, "Young Master, you are only at the Monarch level now; seeing me is like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon."
"When you reach the level of an Immortal Emperor one day, seeing me will be like a mayfly seeing the vast blue sky!"
"Hiss...!"
Lin Potian gasped, and fiercely knocked a knuckle against the head of this constantly posturing Holy Emperor!
"Ouch!"
The Holy Emperor immediately cried out in pain, his demeanor as an expert completely gone.
Lin Potian rolled his eyes to the heavens; didn't the Holy Emperor mean he was even more powerful than an Immortal Emperor?
Lin Potian didn't believe it, curled his lips and said, "What are you posturing for? Why don't you fly up to the sky and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun? Why don't you say that Immortal Emperors are your playthings? Still 'reaching the Immortal Emperor level, seeing you like a mayfly seeing the vast blue sky'? Pfft, you're blowing so much hot air you're going to kill a cow!"
The Holy Emperor clutched his head, looking aggrieved: "You only see me as ordinary now, but during that Immortal Fall Great War back then, I was the absolute main force! Even the Master could only assist me. At the gates of the Immortal Domain, I alone blocked all thirty-six Supreme High Gods who were nearly transcendent and terrifyingly powerful. That was how I prevented the Immortal Domain from being invaded; the entire Immortal Domain were my fans!"
"The female cultivators back then were all fighting and scrambling to have children with me!"
"Tch, bragging!" Lin Potian curled his lips slightly, not believing it at all in his heart. How could a tool, no matter how strong, be stronger than a person?
Besides, he was created by Senior Xiao; how could he possibly be more powerful than Senior Xiao?
And to say that even Senior Xiao could only provide support for him—this was simply alarmist, wild boasting!
But the next second, the resentful voice of Yuanhuan zhi Shen rang out from the depths of Lin Potian's heart...
