Chapter 54: Reincarnation Unified, Against the Long River of Time!

"Potian, I still want more..."

A delicate moan awakened Lin Potian; he rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened them.

Lin Potian's breath hitched, and he gasped in shock:

"Liuli?!!"

He saw a cold, fairy-like woman acting coquettishly, drawing circles on Lin Potian's chest, her eyes filled with love!

Her skin was whiter than snow, her long hair like a waterfall, and her brows and eyes carried a pure, untainted beauty. Lin Potian's heart gave a violent jolt!

This woman was actually Liuli, whom he thought of day and night!

"Brother Potian, you're awake? I've already made breakfast for you; hurry up and get up to eat."

Liuli spoke in a soft voice, pulling Lin Potian out of his gentle reverie.

No...!

She was fake; Lin Potian knew very well that Liuli would never be this gentle!

Furthermore, she had never called him that before; she rarely even used his name.

"Alright."

Lin Potian nodded subconsciously and followed Liuli to the main hall, where he saw three boys playing and simple food set out on a plain wooden table.

The moment they saw Lin Potian come out, the three boys shouted in unison:

"Dad!"

Lin Potian's eyes suddenly grew moist, and he smiled bitterly at Liuli: "I had almost forgotten what Wunian, Wuliu, and Wuli looked like when they were little. Thank you!"

Lin Potian laughed heartily, walked toward the dining table, and gestured for them to sit and eat.

Liuli's expression stiffened; she stared at Lin Potian and said in a low voice: "Potian, you discovered it?"

Lin Potian played dumb and feigned ignorance: "Discovered what?"

Liuli shook her head repeatedly: "Nothing, let's eat."

The group sat down, and Wuliu ate with his mouth full of grease, constantly snatching food from his eldest brother Wunian and third brother Wuli; Wunian simply yielded, but Wuli almost got into a fight with Wuliu!

"Stop snatching, Wuliu. If you do that again, I'll give you a taste of my favorite big slap!"

Wuliu's movements paused, and he pouted angrily...

Lin Potian shook his head and chuckled, sighing inwardly at how realistic this illusion was!

It not only perfectly depicted the three brothers as children, but even perfectly replicated the small wooden house he had built back then. If it weren't for the fact that Liuli hadn't been there at that time, he almost would have believed it!

But even knowing it was an illusion, Lin Potian wanted to indulge in it for a moment, to indulge in the mundane life he had once longed for day and night.

However, dreams always have a time to wake up...

Lin Potian finished his meal, spent the entire afternoon playing with the three brothers, and discussed the philosophy of life with Liuli in the room. Then, he put on his clothes, walked outside, and waved goodbye:

"Goodbye, my unreachable dream!"

Liuli took a step forward, her aura suddenly changing; her skin cracked inch by inch, becoming cold and terrifying!

A cold voice came out: "When exactly did you find out we were fake?"

Lin Potian tilted his head: "I knew from the very beginning, and later on, I couldn't keep up the act. At the very least, Liuli is never on the bottom, but you seem to like it quite a bit. You didn't lose out, though; I even molded a clone out of mud to play with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three brothers chased after him, glaring at Lin Potian from behind with hostile intent. Just as they were about to reveal their true forms, Lin Potian didn't even look at them; he raised his hand and struck out with a golden light!

Boom!

Four screams rang out!

The illusion was shattered instantly, revealing the originally gloomy Cave Abode!

Inside the Cave Abode, there were even quite a few heavenly treasures, and even Emperor Weapons—three of them!

In one corner, there was also a Golden Holy Sword; the Immortal aura upon it was dense. Lin Potian was extremely shocked and blurted out:

"It's actually an Immortal Artifact!"

Looking at the four pools of blood on the ground, Lin Potian sighed softly and shook his head to himself: "I didn't expect you to have really trapped so many people. I had originally intended to spare your lives, but you insisted on showing your true forms and seeking death!"

Having said that, he happily collected the heavenly treasures, the three Emperor Weapons, and the one Immortal Artifact, laughing in a low voice:

"Xiaoxiao, these are the Phantom Corpse Array of the Kunxianlong you mentioned? They aren't much."

Whoosh...!

A white light flew out from Lin Potian's dantian; it was the Heaven-Connecting Token!

The artifact spirit appeared from the Heaven-Connecting Token, looking incredulous: "Young Master, how on earth did you discover they were fake?!"

The artifact spirit truly found it unbelievable. Many years ago, it had followed its master here and witnessed a True Immortal realm powerhouse trapped to death in this very place!

Yet the Young Master had speed-run it?

Hearing this, Lin Potian spread his hands and curled his lips: "Liuli would never be submissive to me, let alone cook for me; that is simply wishful thinking!"

"Ah, this...!"

A single sentence silenced the artifact spirit completely. It took a long while before it spoke:

"Young Master, now that you have absorbed some of the cultivation of those Yiyu Heavenly Venerates, your realm has reached the peak of the Nine Turns Great Emperor. Coming to this Kunxianlong is not a disaster, but a great opportunity! If you can pass the nine trials of Red Dust heart-refining here, you will be able to become... a Red Dust True Immortal! Now that the Phantom Corpse Array has been passed, only eight trials remain!"

Hearing this, Lin Potian realized he hadn't had time to sense his own cultivation earlier, but now that he checked, it was indeed so!

A wisp of black Qi within his dantian caught Lin Potian's attention at this moment, and he frowned:

"Xiaoxiao, what is this?"

Ever since this wisp of black Qi displayed its power while he was absorbing the cultivation of the Yiyu Heavenly Venerates, he had wanted to ask. Now that he finally had the chance, he asked immediately.

The artifact spirit smiled mysteriously: "Young Master, why don't you mobilize it and feel it for yourself?"

Lin Potian nodded, his heart stirred, and he attempted to mobilize that mysterious black Qi.

Instantly, an unprecedented, violent power surged within his body!

Closing his eyes, Lin Potian felt as if he had transformed into a black hole; everything around him was crazily converging toward him, and even space was slightly distorting!

He slightly raised his hand, and black Qi surged out, carrying an indescribable power of Devouring; wherever it passed, spiritual energy was swallowed and devoured by it like a whale!

"It's actually the Devouring Dao Law!"

Lin Potian suddenly opened his eyes, shock and ecstasy appearing in them!

This black Qi was actually a Great Dao Law—the Devouring Great Dao!

The spirit raised its eyebrows triumphantly, its voice haughty: "Young Master, Yiyu tried to assimilate you, and the Dark Matter they injected into you contained the Devouring Dao Law. I merely used a small trick to extract it; everything was within my calculations!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian gave a thumbs-up and praised: "Xiaoxiao, no wonder you didn't make a sound when you saw me being suppressed back then; so it was all calculated!"

The spirit's expression stiffened, slightly embarrassed, its voice weak: "That's not it. I don't have much combat power, and the Shroud hadn't fully refined Xingsu Daoren at the time, so it couldn't be used, which led to you being suppressed."

"Uh..."

Lin Potian was speechless.

Just then, a dazzling, eye-catching light tore out from ahead without warning, carrying an irresistible, powerful force, and swept straight toward Lin Potian!

Lin Potian immediately resisted, standing firmly on the spot like an old tree with deep roots!

The spirit hurriedly spoke: "Young Master, don't resist. This is the second trial opening. The fastest way for you to become a Red Dust Immortal is the Nine-Life Heart Refining Method, which can save you from countless amounts of bitter cultivation!"

As a magic treasure of a taboo senior, the Tongtian Command Spirit, although lacking much combat power, knew everything about secret histories!

Lin Potian wore a troubled expression, extremely conflicted: "Xiaoxiao, a few days ago Ao Yin sent me a voice transmission through the Lin Family's Bloodline Limit, saying that the three Great Emperors of the Primordial Beginning had attacked. How can you expect me to have the heart to refine my heart here?"

"My mind is already a tangled mess!"

The spirit naturally knew of this matter and said with extreme helplessness: "Young Master, but this is the Kunxianlong. If you cannot pass these nine trials of heart refining, you simply cannot get out, even if you are an Immortal King powerhouse!"

Changing the subject, the spirit continued: "The flow of time here is also different; one trial takes one day, it won't consume too much time. If things go smoothly, you can pass in just a few days!"

"By then, Young Master will be a Red Dust True Immortal!"

The spirit was extremely excited, even more excited than if it had become a Red Dust Immortal itself!

Lin Potian sighed gloomily, "I'm just afraid the Lin Family can't wait that long for me!"

"And stop hiding things from me. If I get stuck and sink into it, then it's not a matter of time, but for all eternity!"

The spirit lowered its head and sighed: "Don't worry, Young Master. With me here, it is absolutely impossible for it to be for all eternity. At most a hundred years, you will be able to get out in a hundred years!"

Lin Potian's face looked ugly. A hundred years...

What would be left after a hundred years?

Thinking of the certain Great Emperor who threw him into the Kunxianlong, Lin Potian gritted his teeth and growled while clenching his fists:

"When I get out, I will definitely kill you!"

He had only absorbed a little bit of cultivation, yet this nameless Great Emperor was so vicious as to throw him into the Kunxianlong!

At worst, he would return that bit of cultivation he absorbed, and then kill him!

A debt of blood must be paid in blood; the Dao Heart must be clear!

Boom, boom, boom!

Lin Potian was distracted for a moment, and the light ahead instantly flared up. His vision blurred, and he was sucked straight in!

Boom—!

A loud noise thundered in the sky, and Lin Potian woke up in a ruined temple.

"Where is this?"

Looking at the surroundings of the ruined temple, Lin Potian felt a sense of familiarity; he must have been here before!

Looking down and seeing the tattered hemp clothes on his body, Lin Potian was stunned!

"Are you kidding? This can't be, right?"

Lin Potian's heart trembled violently. To verify his thoughts, he walked out of the ruined temple, came to a small puddle, and lowered his head to look at his reflection.

Looking at the green, youthful face appearing in the puddle, Lin Potian's mind went blank!

"Did this illusion send me back to my youth?"

At the same time, the voice of the Tongtian Command Spirit came out weakly, carrying extreme confusion.

"Young Master, this is not an illusion, this is real. I don't know what the situation is either; the next eight trials have actually merged into one, allowing you to cross the river of time and return to your youth!"

"What did you say?!"

Lin Potian's heart almost stopped beating. Crossing the river of time...

Doesn't this mean that anything he does now will affect the future trajectory?!

Wouldn't that mean he could prevent the Lin Family from being exterminated at the root?

Lin Potian couldn't help but tremble with excitement. Not only that, he had far too many regrets in this life!

He had dreamed of doing it all over again!
