Chapter 32: The Person on the Fourth Level? Beneath the Imperial Pass—The God Tomb!

~10 min read 1,841 words

Lin Potian had seen plenty of these little punks like the Holy Emperor who loved to put on airs the moment they had a bit of strength; he didn't want to bicker with him, and even less did he want to reply!

He turned around directly and walked toward that deep, soil-laden hole.

Just as Lin Potian was preparing to leap down...

Not far away, two golden, four-clawed dragons shimmering with golden light cupped their hands in a salute and spoke cautiously to the Holy Emperor in the void: "Lord Artifact Spirit, we shall be taking our leave now!"

No, that wasn't right; they weren't four-clawed golden dragons, for their fifth claws showed signs of sprouting, with a tiny bump emerging!

The ones speaking were none other than Ao Yin and his father Ao Wushuang, who had remained silent until now!

The two... no, the two dragons had successfully lived out a second life!

Originally, upon seeing Lin Potian wake up, the two dragons had been exceptionally excited!

Just as they were preparing to come over and strike up a conversation, the Holy Emperor arrived!

They didn't even dare to lift their heads, swallowing their words entirely, terrified in their hearts, all because this Tongtian Tower Artifact Spirit was simply absurdly strong!

Most importantly, his temper was eccentric!

Besides Lin Potian, who else could suppress him?

The Holy Emperor didn't even look at the two dragons, waving his hand with a lack of interest: "Scram!"

Looking down at Lin Potian below, the Holy Emperor was very unhappy right now!

He had originally thought Lin Potian would revere him, yet he had been treated with disdain!

He was very annoyed!

But wanting to show off his presence and act arrogant in front of Lin Potian?

No way!

He wouldn't even pay you any mind!

Tap, tap, tap...

Ao Yin excitedly trotted over to Lin Potian and said loudly and enthusiastically: "Foster father, my father and I will go out with you. If there is any chance to help out, please be sure to command us two!"

Ao Wushuang, standing to the side, nodded, "Please, Fellow Daoist Potian, do not refuse!"

Having lived out a second life and advanced their cultivation further, the two dragons were quite high-spirited!

Lin Potian was delighted to hear this; he was currently in need of helpers, and this pair of father and son from the Ao family were powerful and could just happen to help him handle some matters!

But that was a story for later; he had to leave first!

"Alright, let's leave together first, and we can talk after we get out!"

Lin Potian finished speaking quickly and entered the dark, deep rift directly!

A rumbling sound came continuously!

The Ao family father and son looked at each other and followed him down without the slightest hesitation!

They didn't feel the slightest attachment to the Tongtian Tower!

Here... other than being able to slow the passage of one's lifespan, there was nothing to do; the two dragons were nearly bored to death!

The Holy Emperor in the void stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the fourth level of the Tongtian Tower, the corners of his mouth curling into an inexplicable expression...

"Lin Potian, oh Lin Potian, if you had praised me a couple of times just now, perhaps you could have found your wife. What a pity... what a pity! But then again, it's not a pity, it seems your wife doesn't recognize you! Hahaha!"

Whoosh...!

The Holy Emperor returned to the void, and the interior of the Tongtian Tower returned to dead silence once more!

If Lin Potian were still here, he would definitely curse out loud, saying the Holy Emperor was spreading rumors!

Where would he have gotten a wife from?

Though he had once had a fleeting romance with a woman who was like an Immortal...

That is a story for later, and shall not be mentioned for now!

With a bang, Lin Potian reached the deepest part of the rift!

He scraped away the soil from his eyes and lit up his right arm with flame to take a look!

"Hiss...!"

Lin Potian gasped sharply!

He saw a magnificent palace appearing right before his eyes; although it was at an unknown depth, it was spotless and resplendent with gold and jade!

It was quite different from the palace architecture of the outside world today; one look and it was clear it was not a product of this era!

Looking closer, only two characters were written on the palace plaque: 'God Tomb'!

Lin Potian did not dare to enter for a moment, his eyes flashing with sharp light as he observed carefully.

Two thuds came from behind!

The Ao family father and son both fell from the rift above, crashing onto the ground, even landing face-first in the dirt!

Ao Yin's eyes were filled with horror as he spoke loudly: "The magnetic field here is completely different from the outside world, and coupled with being at an unknown depth underground, spiritual power cannot be used at all, and divine abilities cannot be used. It seems if we want to reach the Imperial Pass, we can only dig with our physical bodies!"

As he spoke, he transformed his dragon claws, preparing to dig the soil!

These dragon claws had really suffered a great deal following him!

"Yin'er, wait!"

Ao Wushuang caught sight of the palace ahead from the corner of his eye and trembled instantly!

He suddenly blurted out a classic exclamation: "My great-grandmother, the legends in the clan's ancient records are actually true!"

Hearing this, Ao Yin looked over, his jaw nearly dropping to the ground!

"Hiss...!"

He scrambled over, pointing at the palace ahead, his mouth wide open, but he couldn't say a word, only gasping for air continuously!

Lin Potian turned his head at the sound and asked with a frown: "Brother Wushuang, do you know where this is?"

Ao Wushuang ran over, trembling, and exclaimed in extreme excitement: "I know, this is the God Tomb!"

Lin Potian rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "What a load of nonsense!"

With the two huge characters "God Tomb" written right there, who wouldn't know this is a God Tomb!

The point is who is buried inside; that is the key, alright!

Seeing Lin Potian's strange expression, Ao Wushuang scratched his head and said with a sheepish smile, "According to the ancient records of our Dragon-man Clan, in the Primordial Era, a supreme powerhouse killed his greatest enemy here. Moved by the fact that his opponent's strength was heaven-defying and that his legacy should not be cut off, he personally built a tomb for him, and the name of the tomb is precisely the God Tomb!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian was deeply shaken!

The Holy Emperor had previously said that this path was dug out by a forbidden predecessor to escape; could it be that the one buried inside... is that great enemy of the forbidden predecessor from back then?

"Hiss!"

Lin Potian was fiercely startled, turned around to look at this tomb that resembled a palace, and his eyes lit up!

An existence capable of forcing a forbidden predecessor to such a state must have a legacy worth learning from!

The person themselves must also be extremely powerful!

At the same time, Ao Wushuang quietly retreated, stood beside Ao Yin, watched Lin Potian vigilantly, and was ready to take Ao Yin and slip away at any moment!

"Father, what are you doing?" Ao Yin was extremely confused.

Ao Wushuang immediately covered Ao Yin's mouth and anxiously transmitted his voice: "Don't speak. With such an opportunity, do you think Lin Potian will share it with us? If he makes a move against us, don't hesitate... run!"

"Have you forgotten that Taichu, Mang Cang, and Tian Ni were once the best friends of our Dragon-man Clan? But what happened... our clansmen were all wiped out by them!"

Having lived for so many years, Ao Wushuang had long since stopped trusting anyone; friends and relatives were all fake. As long as the benefits were sufficient, no one would not be tempted, and no one would not choose to enjoy it alone!

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must have the intention to guard against them!

The world bustles for profit, and the world hustles for profit!

Wealth is the most moving thing to the human heart!

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin pursed his lips, looked at Lin Potian's back, and said, "Foster father... he shouldn't be like that, right?"

Just as the two dragons were nervous, Lin Potian suddenly turned his head and placed his hands behind his back!

It looked as if he were about to unleash a divine ability!

"Yin'er, run quickly! Lin Potian is about to make a move!"

Ao Wushuang's expression changed drastically; he stepped out, pushed Ao Yin away, and shouted angrily: "Lin Potian, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Today, we father and son have misjudged you!"

Lin Potian was stunned, took his hands from behind his back, and found he was only holding a Heaven-Reaching Token.

He felt inexplicable in his heart; what was wrong with himself?

He just wanted to immediately check the current situation of the Imperial Clan Competition in the Taixuan Realm; he had absolutely no other extra thoughts!

Could it be that these two dragons thought he wanted to kill them and enjoy the God Tomb alone?

Lin Potian shook his head with a helpless smile, sat cross-legged, and waved his hands, wanting to use the Divine Soul Imprint left on Lin Hao to call up the current scene of the Imperial Clan Competition!

"What, I actually can't call it up!"

Lin Potian was horrified for a moment; he couldn't even use such a basic technique?

Could it be as the Ao father and son said, that the magnetic field here is special and any spiritual power or divine ability would fail?

Lin Potian could not help but be extremely anxious; what should he do?

He thought to himself that that brat Lin Hao truly understood nothing!

If he didn't keep an eye on him, Lin Potian truly felt that this brat would ruin a major event!

"It's useless. The magnetic field here is special, and it is located ten thousand miles underground. Spiritual power is ineffective, and no divine ability can be used! The Master also said that children and grandchildren have their own fortunes, so being anxious is useless! But if you miss this God Tomb, you will regret it immensely!"

The child-like voice of the artifact spirit Xiaoxiao explained, and her words were filled with the importance she placed on the God Tomb!

There was no other reason, only because the one buried in the God Tomb had almost killed the Master back in the day!

He was also the only terrifying existence of that era who could contend with the Master at the same level!
