Chapter 33: The Trial Begins!

Lin Potian gave a bitter smile for a moment; how could he not understand this principle?

Letting go is a compulsory course.

But the Lin Family's external threats are currently too severe, and the step of the Imperial Clan Competition cannot be taken wrongly; if it is taken wrongly, the Lin Family will be doomed beyond redemption!

What he worries about most now is that the brat Lin Hao will go on a killing spree in the Imperial Clan Competition, slaughtering the prodigies of the Wang Family; it is clearly enough to just avoid coming in last, yet Lin Hao insists on competing with the Wang Family for first place!

When the time comes and the Wang Family is provoked, if the Great Emperor of the Wang Family tears off the mask and personally takes action against the Lin Family, how could the Lin Family withstand it?

Furthermore, the Imperial Clan Competition will last for seven days, which happens to coincide with the time it takes for the Emperor Qi remaining on the Immortal Cauldron to dissipate; by then, the Lin Family will have no defense left!

While lost in thought, Lin Potian cast his gaze toward the father and son of the Ao Family...

Would it be feasible to let them go to the Taixuan Realm to guard the family for a period of time?

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes! I hope the brat can understand the logic behind this. Yi is mature and has a flexible mind; perhaps he can point it out to him. It is I who have been too nervous all along!"

Shaking his head and sighing, Lin Potian stood up directly, preparing to enter the God Tomb!

Looking back, Ao Wushuang was still standing in place, showing no intention of following, whereas Ao Yin was eager to try, wanting to enter the God Tomb!

Lin Potian crooked his finger and raised an eyebrow: "Let's go! Do you really expect me to take such a great opportunity all by myself? If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago! Why wait until now?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin looked at his father Ao Wushuang with annoyance, rolled his eyes, and said:

"Father, I don't understand why you are so guarded against my foster father. If he wanted to kill us, wouldn't he have just stood by when the artifact spirit of the Tongtian Tower was beating me to death? Furthermore, when I couldn't live out my second life, if it weren't for my foster father unleashing a strand of Life Essence, I, Ao Yin, would have died long ago! You don't go, I'm going; anyway, this second life of mine was picked up for free, whatever!"

Having said that, he walked a few steps to Lin Potian's side, Ao Yin grinning: "Foster father, my father is just like this! Don't take it to heart; ever since he was backstabbed by those three bastards Taichu, Mangcang, and Tianni, he doesn't look at anyone as a good person!"

Once these words were out, it was Lin Potian's turn to be surprised, his eyes widening: "You also have a grudge against those three bastards?"

Ao Yin nodded heavily, feeling puzzled: "Foster father, why use the word 'also'? Could it be that you have a grudge against them too?!"

Lin Potian's teeth gnashed with a clatter, his gaze grim, and he said word by word: "It is more than just a grudge; I will surely kill those three!"

Hearing this, Ao Wushuang selectively forgot the awkwardness from just a moment ago, walked over, and probed: "Brother Potian, what kind of history do you have with them?"

Lin Potian thought about it; there was simply too much to say!

They abducted his younger sister Lin Wan'er, used the Lin Family as a threat to force him to leave the Heavenly Gap, obstructed his return to the Lin Family, and even cast the Meteor Emperor Curse on him!

It really couldn't be finished in a short while!

Lin Potian waved his hand, uninterested, and said: "Forget it, it's too much, let's not talk about it for now; taking the opportunity in this God Tomb is what matters!"

"Let's go, let's all go in!"

"What, we can really go in? Brother Potian, you aren't joking?"

Ao Wushuang's breath hitched; having been accustomed to hypocrisy, Lin Potian's sincerity made him feel unaccustomed!

Seeing this, Lin Potian rolled his eyes and said deliberately: "It is full of danger inside; you should stay behind, and Ao Yin and I can just go in!"

"Ah, this..."

Ao Wushuang was instantly left awkward in place, looking at Ao Yin for help!

Ao Yin looked at his nose and his nose at his heart, head held high, not even looking at him!

Thinking to himself, let whoever cares, it's all superfluous!

Ao Wushuang? Irrelevant!

"Hahaha, you two father and son are truly interesting!"

Lin Potian laughed uncontrollably as he watched the two, then flashed directly into the God Tomb!

Ao Wushuang stood at a loss in place, his feet wanting to go in, yet not daring to...

Ao Yin rolled his eyes, "Foster father was teasing you, let's go, hurry and follow! Truly, once bitten by a dog, even after ten thousand years have passed, you're still afraid!"

Having said that, Ao Yin also entered the God Tomb!

"Damn, I've actually been looked down upon by Yin'er! Forget it, forget it, a dragon fights for a breath of air, a dragon dies with its eggs facing the sky; what's there to be afraid of!"

Ao Wushuang gritted his teeth and stepped inside!

The scene before them changed in an instant!

It changed again and again!

Lin Potian entered first and was also the first to be shocked!

He saw that the resplendent God Tomb had vanished in an instant, replaced by a vast starry sky, with countless Stars hanging high, like a miniature of the universe!

A Star Galaxy cascaded down, laying itself straight at Lin Potian's feet!

And in the depths of that starry sky, three massive Star Gates stood quietly, the gates covered in ancient Runes, flowing with a faint fluorescent light!

Lin Potian had a marvelous expression and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It actually contains a great world within; when the Taboo Senior built this God Tomb, he had already reached an unimaginable realm! To build such a luxurious tomb for a powerful enemy, the stature of the Taboo Senior... is high!"

Fearing that his enemy's legacy would be cut off, he built a tomb and left it for future generations to open; Lin Potian was truly impressed!

The stature of the Taboo Senior is truly grand!

"Not only that, the master also placed a portion of his own legacy inside, but I do not know if you can obtain it."

The artifact spirit Xiaoxiao added.

Lin Potian nodded gently, "So that's how it is, I understand."

Ao Yin came in a step later, and upon seeing these ten thousand Stars and the three great gates, besides being shocked, he was astonished!

The first thing out of his mouth was: "Holy shit, awesome!"

Ao Wushuang arrived, also greatly shocked, and blurted out: "A boat full of clear dreams presses against the Star Galaxy, uh... in short, it is awesomely awesome!"

Having said that, he looked at Ao Yin and sternly admonished:

"Yin'er, I have long urged you to read more books, then you wouldn't be at a loss for words!"

Ao Yin rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Tch, clearly our levels are about the same, yet you still want to hope for your son to become a dragon?"

Ahead, the corners of Lin Potian's mouth twitched wildly; are this father and son here to cause trouble?

Can't they just be quiet for a while?

They just have to add their own drama!

However, watching these two bicker, the unease and irritation in Lin Potian's heart lessened quite a bit.

Just at this moment, in front of the Star Gate ahead, a Level Nine Stone Tablet slowly rose up!

A vigorous voice rang out from all directions:

"God Tomb Trial—begin!"

"Trial-takers, please place your hands on the Test Stele to verify your cultivation aptitude. The three Star Gates behind will open according to your aptitude; the level of your cultivation base will not be taken into account!"

As the words fell, Ao Yin impatiently stepped forward, his face full of excitement: "Foster father, let me go first, let me go first!"

Lin Potian took a step back, silently consenting.

Ao Yin let out a loud shout: "Open for me!!"

His hand immediately pressed onto it!

Boom!

A fairly dazzling light instantly activated the base of the Level Nine Stone Tablet, and it lit up five levels in a row before barely coming to a stop!

A line of small characters appeared on the stone tablet:

"Passable, may enter the Third Starry Sky Gate!"
