Chapter 144: Burial Immortal Coffin!

This was a face impossible to describe; a thousand faces for a thousand people, yet Lin Potian simply felt that no matter who looked at this face, they would be lost in it!

It was handsome to the point of being flawless!

Lin Potian subconsciously lowered his head, feeling somewhat inferior.

Xiao Buwen, however, looked straight at Lin Potian, his voice soft yet extremely clear: "There is no need for this; when you reach my realm, you too will be handsome to the point of being flawless."

"Furthermore, you should not call me Senior, but rather call me... Master!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian immediately performed the apprenticeship kowtow and spoke respectfully: "Lin Potian, greets Master!"

In saying this word 'Master', Lin Potian was not being the least bit pretentious, but was calling out with sincere intent. A teacher is one who imparts the Dao, teaches professional skills, and resolves doubts. Whether it was imparting the Grand Saint Heavenly Emperor Art, the Tongtian Token, the Tongtian Tower, or anything else, from every perspective, Xiao Buwen was worthy of the title of mentor!

"Good!"

Xiao Buwen smiled faintly, then used his great power from across the space to lift Lin Potian up, saying calmly: "You are my only personal disciple, so can you guess the intention behind my coming, and why I have sought you out?"

Lin Potian pondered for a moment, associating this with what Zhong Lin had previously described, and spoke uncertainly: "Master, is it because of the matter regarding the God of Gods?"

"You guessed right, but you should not call him the God of Gods; you should address him as Father." Xiao Buwen's expression was as still as an ancient well, as if he were merely stating a fact.

"I... cannot bring myself to say it. If what Zhong Lin said is true, I truly cannot bring myself to say it." Lin Potian's expression was dim; Zhong Lin's words from before made him not want to face anything at all.

Xiao Buwen shook his head and smiled, saying inscrutably:

"What does it matter if it is true or false? But since you cannot bring yourself to say it, let us not mention this matter for now. Because your father, Lin Dong, is a person very difficult to evaluate. From the perspective of what he has done to the Endless Divine Land, he is indeed a devil without a doubt, but for the sake of the big picture, he is also a man of suffering."

Lin Potian's eyes brightened for an instant; compared to Zhong Lin's words, he believed the words of his master, Xiao Buwen, even more!

He immediately bowed and cupped his hands: "I ask Master to enlighten me!"

Xiao Buwen immediately shook his head and waved his hand: "The time has not yet come. Once you meet him and understand a bit more, you will know. I cannot go around sowing discord in the relationship between you and your father, can I? He and I were once close comrades, but we parted ways due to differing philosophies, so I will not say much more to you. At the very least, I hold no malicious views toward him."

"It is just that perhaps your philosophy will also differ from his. What he wants is the unification of the ten thousand worlds, to cover the sky with one hand; while what I think of more is to intercept a glimmer of survival for all living beings, and let them develop on their own."

After these words, Lin Potian was silent for a moment. To be honest, he did not understand, and helplessly nodded: "This... alright, very well."

"However, I did not come today to lecture you on grand principles, but rather..."

Xiao Buwen began to speak, and the next moment, his palm waved gently; the space seemed to ripple, and then it twisted violently!

Immediately following, an ancient and mysterious coffin slowly emerged, hovering above the palm of his Dharma Image!

This coffin was pitch black, emitting a faint, cold light. Carved upon it were complex and ancient Runes, flowing with a faint fluorescence, revealing a heavy aura.

"This is the Burial Immortal Coffin, originally my place of slumber. Today, I bestow it upon you!"

Xiao Buwen's voice was low and solemn. He flicked his sleeve gently, and the Burial Immortal Coffin flew steadily toward Lin Potian as if summoned!

Lin Potian stretched out his hands reflexively to catch this exceptionally heavy coffin, feeling a mysterious intent spread through his palms to his entire body; its power was simply infinite!

The moment Lin Potian held it, he felt endless profound mysteries; it could be called a treasure of both offense and defense!

His first reaction was that if he swung it to smash things, it would definitely feel incredibly satisfying!

And if one were to sleep inside this Burial Immortal Coffin, one's body would likely not decay for hundreds of millions of years!

But while this treasure was good, it was far too precious!

Lin Potian immediately declined: "Master, this is too precious. To give such a supreme treasure that combines offense and defense to me is simply too much of a waste!"

"You will use it in the not-so-distant future, so why would it be a waste?"

Xiao Buwen smiled clearly, then his voice suddenly turned low: "You must absolutely not refuse this item. You must already know of the divination by the Immortal Emperor of Reincarnation, Ye Fan. He said you would appear in the Reincarnation, and that was not shooting an arrow without a target; it is because you will certainly die once. Only this Burial Immortal Coffin will be able to intercept a glimmer of survival for you at that time!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's pupils shrank violently. How could he forget this? That day in the Liu Dao Yi Ji, he had heard the divination of the Immortal Emperor of Reincarnation, Ye Fan, with his own ears, and it had nearly broken him out in a cold sweat!

Now that his master said the same, did that not mean that in the not-so-distant future, he would inevitably have to die once?

"Thank you, Master!"

"But if I accept the Burial Immortal Coffin, will it have an impact on Master? After all, Master likely needs this supreme treasure as well, right?"

Lin Potian immediately changed his tone. Although he wanted this supreme treasure to save his life, such a precious object must surely be needed by his master as well, right?

"It is already useless to me. I have already walked to the extreme on one path; there is no one else in the world like me. In heaven or on earth, no one can kill me, no one can think of me, and no one can remember me. As long as I wish, I can transcend an entire history, leaving not a single trace behind!"

Xiao Buwen's tone was extremely calm, so calm that Lin Potian did not dare to harbor even a shred of doubt!

He only widened his eyes, looking at this towering figure!

Thinking back to the equally arrogant Holy Emperor, Lin Potian finally understood why the Holy Emperor could be so arrogant as to look down on everything; it turned out he had a heaven-sized backer behind him!

Even arrogance was passed down through the lineage!

His master's aura was far stronger than the Holy Emperor's. What he said had no element of posturing; it did not make one harbor the slightest doubt, but was entirely a frankness that made one submit in heart and mind!

Yet the more this was the case, the more confused Lin Potian became, until he could not help but ask: "Master, since that is the case, why did you need to take me as a disciple? Could you not complete everything you wish to complete all by yourself?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Buwen's expression was clearly stunned for an instant. He had not expected Lin Potian to ask such a high-level question, and the answer to this question could explain Lin Potian's future!

It was just that he did not know if Lin Potian would understand...

"Since ancient times, the ten thousand Daos have been prosperous, but they all ultimately return to the Immortal and Divine Paths. Yet the Immortal and Divine cannot coexist; no one can truly fuse them and reach the extreme in the true sense. And in you, there is this hope."

Lin Potian immediately followed up: "Master, is the fusion of the Immortal and Divine dual paths because I possess the bloodline of the Gods and also practice Immortal Power?"

Xiao Buwen nodded slightly: "You could say that? It's close enough?"

He then cleared his throat: "In short, the world is very large, and everything has only just begun. In fact, it has not even gotten on the right track; it has not truly begun yet."

"???" Lin Potian was filled with question marks upon hearing this!

He could not utter a single word. It had already reached this point, and his master was actually saying it had not even begun yet?

He had nothing to say, truly nothing to say!

"Alright, I have crossed boundaries to come here, and time is running out. I cannot waste any more."

Before Lin Potian could continue to speak, Xiao Buwen pointed a finger at the center of Lin Potian's brow!

Boom!

In an instant, the Burial Immortal Coffin hovering in mid-air opened with a boom!

The coffin lid slowly lifted, revealing a deep, dark crack. Lin Potian only felt his vision go black, his body tilting forward involuntarily, pulled by an invisible force, falling toward that crack!

Even the Mysterious Shroud that was still clinging to his body, though the time had not yet come, was sucked in along with him!

Seeing Lin Potian's body stiffen like a rod, Xiao Buwen said irritably, "Relax, don't be nervous!"

"That Shroud was once my blood-stained Great Emperor robe; consider it a growth-type supreme treasure, I'll give it to you as well, use it well yourself!"

"Right, if there is a chance in the future, go to my hometown Shuiqiu for me; I came here just fine, but now I can't go back, damn it!"

Having said that, Xiao Buwen vanished from Lin Potian's dream in an instant, as if he had never been there at all!

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian relaxed his body and allowed himself to be sucked into that unfathomably mysterious Burial Immortal Coffin.
