Chapter 15: Settling the Karma, Setting Off for the Tongtian Tower!

Without a word of nonsense, and without asking what the grudge was, Lin Potian lifted his palm slightly, levitating Ji Xiaoyue from the ground, and raised his hand to brush away the bruise on her forehead.

But as for taking on an apprentice, Lin Potian was truly not very willing.

Ji Xiaoyue was merely a mortal body; wanting to cultivate... was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Potian spoke extremely gently:

"Little girl, you are merely a mortal body, and the path of cultivation is truly not suited for you. How about this, I once said I would grant you one wish; I will grant you a lifetime of wealth and glory, and remove the person who killed your younger brother for you. How does that sound?"

"No, I want to take revenge myself! Even if I am a mortal body, I still want to cultivate! Uncle, I must personally kill that black-robed person who captured my entire family to refine them into Human Pills! I beg you, I beg you, please teach me how to cultivate!"

Ji Xiaoyue did not even think about it and refused directly.

Lin Potian frowned slightly; he truly did not want Ji Xiaoyue to step onto this treacherous path of cultivation. Being a mortal with a life of glory and wealth was actually quite good.

Everyone has their own aspirations, so Lin Potian no longer tried to dissuade her and sighed lightly:

"Alright then, you cannot cultivate my self-created technique, the 'Niluan Yinyang Art', so... I will pass on this 'Pofan Huaxian Art' to you, which I once deduced and is suitable for mortal bodies to cultivate. This shall also be considered settling the karma between us."

"However, cultivating this technique is extremely difficult. You may need to put in a hundred, or even a thousand times more effort than an ordinary person to possibly succeed!"

"Moreover, I only deduced it up to the Saint Realm; you will need to explore the path ahead yourself. In other words, this is an incomplete manual. And as for the rest, you lack a little bit of cultivation talent."

Having said that, a yellowed ancient book appeared out of thin air in Lin Potian's hand; one look and it was clear it had been treasured for many years.

Ji Xiaoyue was incredibly excited and paid no mind to what Saint Realm meant; she did not even know what kind of realm that was. She only knew that she finally had a chance to cultivate!

Clumsily performing the apprenticeship ceremony, she bowed deeply toward Lin Potian: "Uncle Master, please accept this bow from Ji Xiaoyue!"

Lin Potian shook his head speechlessly. Uncle Master?

At his age, being called "Uncle"?

He shook his head and smiled, not even preparing to divine the identity of Ji Xiaoyue's enemy. Anyway, in these Heavens, whoever it was, it didn't matter.

But in order to ignite Ji Xiaoyue's fighting spirit, Lin Potian deliberately said in a deep voice:

"Little girl, the person who harmed your brother is very strong! But since you have chosen to step onto the path of cultivation, you must practice diligently; perhaps then you will have a chance to avenge your brother!"

"How strong?"

Lin Potian rubbed his chin, pondering: "About as strong as me!"

"This...!"

Ji Xiaoyue fell silent instantly, walking to the side to flip through the Pofan Huaxian Art without saying a word.

At this moment, Lin Feng's weak voice came from within Lin Potian's body, filled with disbelief: "Ancestor, you said the technique you cultivate is called the Niluan Yinyang Art, then what is the... Potian Record that the Lin Family has been cultivating all along?"

"The Potian Record? As the name suggests, it was just some insights I wrote down casually while cultivating, just draft notes. Why... could it be?"

"Feng'er, have you all been cultivating that thing??"

Lin Potian's expression changed drastically, his face turning black!

"Ancestor, you have screwed us so badly! We treated it as an Emperor-level technique!!"

Lin Feng's voice could not have been more resentful!

"I remember I left no fewer than ten techniques in the clan that could lead directly to the Emperor Realm! How could you all be practicing that thing?"

At this, Lin Potian almost suffered a 'Break Defense'...

With so many techniques available, his descendants didn't practice them, but instead specifically practiced the draft notes he wrote?

For a moment, he didn't even know what to say!

Lin Feng explained with a bitter smile:

"Ancestor, I read in the clan's ancestral records that three thousand years after you left, a sudden Heavenly Fire burned many techniques into fragments. Only the Potian Record, which was thought to be the Emperor-level technique you cultivated, was treated as a treasure by our ancestors at the time and preserved completely."

"Afterward, the Lin Family cultivated the Potian Record generation after generation. As a result, no Lin clan member has been able to break through to become a Great Emperor; the highest anyone reached was the Quasi-Emperor Realm..."

Hearing this, Lin Potian rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly and blurted out subconsciously: "Then your talent must be truly good; you can even reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm practicing draft notes..."

Once the words were out, Lin Potian suddenly thought of something!

How could a Heavenly Fire appear so suddenly?

If there were such a massive natural disaster, the Heavenly Dao could not have had no fluctuations, and he could not have failed to notice it at all!

Then there was only one possibility...

That Heavenly Fire back then was man-made!

In just a single breath, an indescribable sense of crisis completely enveloped Lin Potian!

He kept reviewing things in his mind: "Just speaking of this time, if it weren't for Feng'er's sister, Yanran, sensing that I was about to perish through the bloodline connection established by the divine sacrifice, and knowing from the clan's ancient records that I am an Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus and that Feng'er and I share the same origin of constitution, plus his resolute sacrifice, I fear I truly would not have survived this!"

"Who exactly is it? To spend tens of thousands of years plotting against my Lin Family! Causing my Lin Family to decline and become weak, repeatedly trying to put me to death, capturing Wan'er, and even wanting to exterminate my Lin Family!"

"This is simply going too far! No matter who you are, I, Lin Potian, will definitely accompany you to the end!"

Rage, extreme fury almost burst from Lin Potian's eyes!

Lin Potian knew very well that the three Primordial Great Emperors of the Emperor Alliance were merely pawns of that person behind the scenes, but as for who it specifically was, he didn't even have a target for suspicion in his heart right now...

He even truly wished he could immediately return to Zhutian Wanjie through the Boundary Sea Tongtian Tower, strike down the pawns of this mastermind one by one, and then drag the person out!

Saying he would go, he went. He nurtured the remaining wisp of Lin Feng's soul and spoke softly to Ji Xiaoyue, who was studying the technique intently: "Little girl, your Uncle Master is leaving."

"Ah, where to? But you haven't taught me anything yet..."

Ji Xiaoyue stood up immediately, tugging at her plain dress in conflict; for some reason, her heart suddenly felt low.

"The place I am going is very dangerous. Taking you with me would only put you in an even more dangerous situation."

"Then can you let me see you off? Once we reach the place, I will leave."

Ji Xiaoyue bit her lip, acting slightly spoiled.

Seeing this, Lin Potian felt a tremor in his heart, thinking of his younger sister, Lin Wan'er, who used to act spoiled and stubborn with him just like this, but he still shook his head and said decisively:

"No! It is too dangerous; you still cannot go!"

Having said that, Lin Potian tapped his finger on Ji Xiaoyue's forehead, passing on all his insights regarding the Pofan Huaxian Art!

He also added several layers of seals, allowing her to slowly unlock them as her cultivation improved.

He also bestowed upon her three strands of Imperial Light, capable of blocking three life-and-death crises!

Immediately, without giving Ji Xiaoyue any chance to react or speak, he stepped out of the wooden hut and tore through the air!

The destination: Tongtian Tower!

Bringing along a mortal would waste too much time; Lin Potian could no longer wait to return to the Heavens!

The Lin Family... could wait even less!

According to a voice transmission from his descendant Lin Yanran, the Great Emperor of the Wang Family...

Has already come knocking at their door!

The Lin Family is already in imminent danger!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Seeing him tear through the air and leave, the Black Dragon Emperors outside the wooden hut hoisted up the God-Devouring Insect Emperor—whose Dao Heart was shattered and who had been laughing miserably—and turned into streaks of light to follow!

Creak—!

Ji Xiaoyue rushed out of the wooden hut, but where was there any sign of Lin Potian?

He came in a hurry, and left in a hurry; everything was like... a flower in the mist, a dream in the water.

Looking at the emptiness outside the door, Ji Xiaoyue stomped her feet in anger and said indignantly:

"But you at least have to tell me where your home is, so that when I have achieved success in my cultivation, I can have a chance to repay you? To just leave like this, do you look down on me, a mortal, that much? Hmph, go then, just go!"

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and Ji Xiaoyue's eyes grew redder and redder.

Just at this moment, a weak voice sounded behind her!

"Taixuan Realm, Lin Family."

"The Old Ancestor is facing great danger on this journey; he is protecting you."

"Who's there!"

Ji Xiaoyue looked back vigilantly!

She saw a youth of about fifteen or sixteen, with a pale complexion and handsome features, but whose form was ethereal to the extreme, looking at her with a smile.

"My name is Lin Feng; the Old Ancestor told me to enter your body."

Ji Xiaoyue froze, and subconsciously replied, "My name is Ji Xiaoyue, wait... ah?"

Her pretty face flushed crimson!

Lin Feng realized what he said, spat out a few times, his ethereal and pale remnant soul face turning a bit ruddy, and he hurriedly explained: "I am currently just a wisp of soul, but I am actually a little expert; the Old Ancestor told me to guide your cultivation first."

"You should speak clearly! You scared me to death, I thought you were going to possess me!"

Ji Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, though she said that, she didn't actually think so in her heart!

"This descendant of the uncle master is actually quite interesting!"

Regarding his descendant Lin Feng, Lin Potian had given him two choices.

The first was to stay by his side...

Before he could finish, Lin Feng decisively chose the second!

He said he wanted to go out and venture into the world.

Therefore, Lin Feng stayed behind.

In order for Lin Feng to develop stealthily, Lin Potian shared a wisp of his own Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus origin with Lin Feng, and also taught him his self-created technique, the Niluan Yinyang Art.

Perhaps one day, after Lin Feng reshapes his physical body, he will become the second Innate Holy Body Dao Fetus in the Heavens, and by relying on the Niluan Yinyang Art, walk a path that belongs to him.

But perhaps... he will perish on this path.

The outcome is not yet decided.

The wheel of fate for him and Ji Xiaoyue also, from this moment... began to turn!

At the same time, in the Taixuan Realm.

A pair of heaven-covering Imperial hands were ruthlessly bombarding the Protective Clan Array of the Lin Family!

The Protective Clan Array rippled violently and incessantly!

The people of the Lin Family wore expressions of extreme despair!

Only because,

The Wutian Great Emperor of the Wang Family had already arrived in person at the Lin Family!
