Chapter 67: The Trap Banquet, Going Alone!

Closing his eyes once more and searching carefully, Lin Potian truly discovered a group of lost Dragon-men!

In the turbulent currents at the very edge of the Heavens, there were actually a few small Dragon-man tribes, not many in number, totaling no more than a few dozen people.

Immediately, Lin Potian opened his eyes and chuckled, "Ao Yin, I have discovered some of your clansmen in the Luanliu Sea."

Ao Yin trembled with excitement: "Foster father, is that true??"

"Fellow Daoist Potian, is what you say true?"

Ao Wushuang stood up at once, equally excited!

"Naturally."

Lin Potian nodded slightly and waved his hand to project the scene he had just seen.

Ao Yin's eyes widened as he looked at the Dragon-men in the image one by one, "That is my seventh aunt, that is my eighth aunt!"

Ao Wushuang's breathing grew rapid; he bowed deeply to Lin Potian and said sincerely: "Great kindness cannot be repaid with words. I, Ao Wushuang, swear by the Heavenly Dao Oath that the Dragon-man Clan voluntarily becomes a vassal of the Lin Family!"

Boom...!

Even within the Tongtian Command, the Heavenly Dao Oath was still fulfilled!

Lin Potian was speechless. He truly did not want the Dragon-man Clan to pay anything or scheme for the Lin Family; this was merely settling karma.

However, this Ao Wushuang was also shrewd. Knowing that he had returned and the Lin Family was no longer the Lin Family of before, choosing to become a vassal was only logical.

Waving his hand, not wanting to dwell on it, Lin Potian raised his hand to imprint the locations of those few Dragon-man tribes into the consciousness of the two dragons, then walked toward the stone platform ahead.

"Little sister, it is time to wake you up."

Lin Potian's eyes were gentle as he summoned Lin Wan'er's body, his lips moving slightly to undo her sleeping state, looking on with hope...

But Lin Wan'er showed no signs of waking at all, and her body was even gradually growing cold!

"How is this possible!"

Lin Potian panicked instantly. Logically, once the sleeping state was undone, she should have awakened immediately!

In a moment of great anxiety, Lin Potian's mind went blank!

Lin Bufan walked over from a distance, bowed, and said in a deep voice: "Ancestor, Great-Aunt's soul must be missing. I did not see her soul return to her body just now!"

As these words fell, they directly awakened the dreamer!

Lin Potian's eyes lit up as he looked at Lin Wan'er; it was indeed so, her soul was gone!

In an instant, Lin Potian's expression turned grim.

"Bufan, you go down first."

Dismissing Lin Bufan, Lin Potian began to think, secretly saying to himself: 'Her soul would never be missing for no reason. When I snatched my sister back, her soul was clearly still there. Which part went wrong?'

Just as Lin Potian was struggling to think, the Tongtian Command Spirit appeared, and its voice sounded: "Young Master, at that time, Ji Wuzhong took advantage of you snatching Lin Wan'er to unleash a Divine Sense Attack, paralyzing your soul for an instant. It was then that he seized the chance to hook out Lin Wan'er's soul and hide it within a Sleeve World!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's fists crunched, and he roared through gritted teeth:

"Ji Wuzhong, Ji Family, you are courting death!"

Although he had not recovered and his combat power was not at its peak, he could not stay here any longer; he had to strike!

The Ji Family's actions were too despicable, and Lin Potian was truly worried that they would do something to his sister Lin Wan'er's soul.

With a thought, he prepared to leave the Tongtian Command.

But unexpectedly, the Spirit sealed the world within the command directly. Lin Potian was blocked and paused slightly, saying: "Xiaoxiao, what is the meaning of this?"

(Xiaoxiao, the name of the Tongtian Command Spirit, mentioned previously.)

The Spirit appeared, looking anxious, and hurriedly said: "Young Master, you cannot go out now. The outside world is currently full of wanted posters for you. Think about it, why would the Ji Family dare to issue a warrant for you so brazenly?"

Lin Potian did not think much and snorted coldly: "Isn't it just that Ji Wuhui, who is at the late stage of the Immortal King realm? I do not fear him at all! If other Longevity Families help the Ji Family, I will just sink the Highest Heaven! They are all a bunch of blood-sucking parasites anyway, only exploiting and doing nothing! When the time comes, I will bear it alone and turn myself into a Forbidden Zone to suppress Yiyu!"

With Lin Wan'er's soul abducted, Lin Potian was so angry he could not think, and he did not want to consider any consequences!

A dragon has a reverse scale, and Lin Potian's reverse scale was his family!

The Spirit gave a bitter smile upon hearing this, then said solemnly: "Young Master, things are not as simple as you think. On the day you exterminated the Ji Family, a terrifying Immortal Wave descended from the sky in the ruined Ji Mansion. If I am not mistaken, the Immortal Domain Ji Family has arrived!"

"And the reason they are so unscrupulous is perhaps because of this!"

Lin Potian was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Immortal Domain Ji Family? Could it be that there is also a Ji Family in the Immortal Domain?"

The Spirit nodded heavily, even showing a trace of dread as it said: "Not only is there one, but the terror of the Immortal Domain Ji Family is by no means comparable to this Ji Family of the Heavens!"

"The Tian Family, Chu Family, Ye Family, and Ji Family of the Immortal Domain are honored as the Four Great Families of the Immortal Domain. They have endured for hundreds of millions of years without declining, and strong experts have emerged from their clans almost without interruption!"

"And although the Ji Family is at the bottom and has a faint trend of setting sun, they cannot be underestimated!"

Hearing this, Lin Potian fell into a long silence. He had not expected that there was a Ji Family in the Immortal Domain, and he had expected even less that the Immortal Domain's Ji Family would be so powerful!

The key was, how did people come down from the Immortal Domain?

Lin Potian had racked his brains trying to find the path to the Immortal Domain, but to no avail!

It was as if the Zhutian Wanjie had been abandoned, and every path to the Immortal Domain had been severed!

Furthermore, ever since he reversed the river of time and returned, and after meeting Liuli and knowing she came from the Immortal Domain, Liuli had revealed more than once that she wanted to return to the Immortal Domain.

And Liuli was only her given name; Liuli's surname was Chu, Chu Liuli.

"Perhaps it is easy to come down, but hard to go up?"

"And Liuli, could she be a member of that Chu Family?"

Lin Potian began to guess boldly.

The Spirit nodded slightly upon hearing this and said:

"Correct, Young Master. Since the battle of the Ancient Immortal Fall, the connection between the Heavens and the Immortal Domain has been severed. No one can go up to the Immortal Domain anymore. One must satisfy the correct time, the correct place, and the correct people—that is, three cultivators at the Immortal King Perfection stage must join forces to reconnect the Immortal Path before one can step into the Immortal Domain!"

"And those who come down from the Immortal Domain are at most at the limit of the Heavens, either Immortal King Perfection or the higher level of early-stage Immortal Emperor. It may not sound like much, but even an Immortal King Perfection is not something you can deal with right now! It is truly too difficult for a Red Dust Immortal Mid-Stage to counter-slay an Immortal King Perfection!"

"Not to mention an Immortal Emperor. There was once a saying: below the Immortal Emperor, all are ants!"

"As for whether your Dao companion Liuli is a member of the Immortal Domain Chu Family, I am not quite sure. She is a Heaven-Condemned Person, and all information about her is shielded by the Heavenly Secret. I am really not quite sure."

"As for a Heaven-Condemned Person, that is someone who has been stripped of their Immortal Domain qualifications and cast down to the lower realms!"

The Tongtian Tower Token went back through the long river of time with Lin Potian, so naturally, he had also seen Liuli.

Lin Potian's whole body trembled; a Heaven-Condemned Person, so that was what it meant!

Doesn't this mean that Liuli was in such a rush to go back because there was some deep-seated hatred?!

Furthermore, the conditions to ascend to the Immortal Domain were so harsh; it actually required three correct things: the correct time, the correct place, and three Immortal King Perfection experts working together to reconnect the Immortal Path to the Immortal Domain!

The next second, Lin Potian realized something and said in shock, "No wonder Liuli insisted on taking Wunian, Wuliu, and Wuli away back then; so that was why!"

The artifact spirit also nodded and said, "The three Young Masters have extraordinary talent. If they spent all one hundred thousand years cultivating, it is only natural for them to reach the Immortal King Perfection, the extreme realm of the Heavens. Moreover, the correct time for this lifetime has already begun; it is in one day, at the time of the One Hundred and Eight Stars Alignment!"

"The correct place is in the Boundary Sea!"

Lin Potian was completely stunned, deeply lost in thought: "Does this mean that tomorrow is the day Liuli leaves?"

After reversing time to go back, Lin Potian knew that Liuli and his three sons were separated on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors of the Tongtian Tower. Originally, he had planned to wake up Lin Wan'er, bring them all back together, and persuade Liuli to stay so the whole family could live freely and happily, but now...

It seemed to have become an extravagant hope.

Liuli could not stay, and his sister's soul was in the hands of the Ji Family. For a moment, Lin Potian was caught in a dilemma!

However, he was not a person who dwelled on things; before long, he made his decision and said in a deep voice:

"Xiaoxiao, protect my Lin Family clansmen well. I... am going to snatch Wan'er's soul back!"

Upon hearing this, the artifact spirit became anxious immediately, completely locking down the Tongtian Tower Token, and cried out in great alarm: "Young Master, you cannot! If the person coming from the Ji Family is an Immortal Emperor, that is completely invincible! No one has ever been able to defeat an Immortal Emperor from a lower realm; even the Master back then could not!"

"So if you go, you will have a nine-in-ten chance of death! Even if you must go, you have to take me with you. With my speed, even if we cannot win, there is a twenty percent chance we can escape!"

The Tongtian Tower Token was not at its peak, and it was not confident it could escape from the hands of an Immortal Emperor.

Lin Potian shook his head, grinned slightly, and said earnestly: "It is precisely because of that that I will not take you. If we don't escape, not only will you fall into the hands of the Ji Family, but my Lin Family will also be gone. You should understand the principle that one should not put all their eggs in one basket. And I, I must go save Wan'er!"

"You are not human, you don't understand. In a person's life, there should be things worth protecting. In the past, I had no choice, but now... I want to grasp everything!"

"Besides, what if that person from the Immortal Domain is no match for me?"

Lin Potian was an optimist, thinking quite positively.

"No, you must stay!"

The artifact spirit would not budge an inch, saying that it could not let Lin Potian go to the Highest Heaven to throw his life away.

Lin Potian shook his head and gave a bitter smile for a moment. Not wanting to say more, his aura changed drastically. He summoned the Eternal Dao Seed and shouted in a deep voice:

"Tongtian Tower Token, obey! Lift the lockdown and let me out. This is not a negotiation; it is an order!"

The artifact spirit trembled all over. The Eternal Dao Seed was the Master's Dao inheritance and had absolute suppression over it; the lockdown was broken instantly!

Lin Potian seized the opportunity and flew away directly, leaving the Lin Family members and the Ao family father and son looking stunned.

Once out, Lin Potian adjusted his current state to the peak and headed straight for the Highest Heaven.

His target was set—the Ji Family!
