Chapter 76: Long Time No See, Liuli

~11 min read 2,176 words

"Dad, apart from me, are there any other Double Pupil holders in my branch of the Lin Family?"

Lin Wunian had already confirmed that the Double Pupil holder possessing the Lin Family bloodline had truly ascended to the Immortal Domain, and he couldn't help but step forward to ask, his expression growing increasingly strange!

The most critical part was that the person who helped this Lin Family Double Pupil holder ascend to the Immortal Domain was even stranger; he was covered in Double Pupils, with his Supreme Bone exposed and spread all over his body—it was truly horrifying!

Moreover, they were not at the correct location or the correct time, and that strange person wasn't even strong—he was merely a Human Dao Great Emperor, not even an Immortal—yet they just ascended so easily, as if someone had guided them!

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian put away the genealogy and pondered for a moment: "No, apart from you, the only other one with the Double Pupil is your branch's descendant, Lin Yi, but he long ago..."

"No, that's not right. I never saw Yi's corpse. Could he still be alive?!"

Lin Potian took a step forward, pressed his hand on Lin Wunian's shoulder, and spoke urgently: "Wunian, have you sensed Yi's presence? Where is he?"

Lin Wunian nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you put it that way, then that Double Pupil holder must be Yi! I also find it strange; Yi actually went to the Immortal Domain. He only has the cultivation of a Great Saint, yet he just ascended so easily? What's even stranger is that the man beside him was covered in Double Pupils. How can such a strange person exist in this world?"

Lin Potian was stunned. A person covered in Double Pupils...

Isn't that just Wang Daoji, who wasn't finished off by the Yiyu Dizun?

But that clearly isn't right; Wang Daoji's Double Pupils and Supreme Bone had all been stripped away by him, and they are still lying quietly in some corner of the Heaven-Reaching Token!

Furthermore, how could Yi have come into contact with Wang Daoji? Even if Yi wasn't dead, he should have been by the side of that Wang Family Great Emperor, Wang Wutian!

Everything is too strange!

Because even if Wang Daoji were alive and had taken Yi away, he wouldn't have the ability to go straight to the Immortal Domain!

"What on earth is going on?"

Lin Potian fell into deep thought, truly unable to figure it out for a moment.

Just then, a deafening boom erupted from the training grounds!

Immediately after, the arena doors swung wide open, and golden light shone brilliantly!

His thoughts were temporarily interrupted, and Lin Potian turned his head to look...

He saw Lin Wuli stepping out of the training ground, appearing like a god descending; his entire body was wrapped in dazzling golden light, his eyes shining brightly, with faint images of dragons and phoenixes flickering within!

An indescribable aura of an Innate Sacred Body emanated from within him!

Although his realm was suppressed by the Heavens and he hadn't broken through, remaining at Immortal King Perfection, his combat power had increased several times over!

Lin Potian's nose twitched as he sniffed this aura, and he was instantly overjoyed!

This feeling was the one he was most familiar with...

The Lin Family has produced another Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus!

If the descendant Lin Feng, who is traveling abroad, is successful, then the Lin Family might have three Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetuses in this generation!

Just thinking about it made Lin Potian almost burst with excitement!

Because this physique—not only did Liuli say it was almost invincible, but even that taboo senior at the Immortal Emperor level was an Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus!

"Wuli, Dad knew you could do it!"

Lin Potian took a step forward and patted Lin Wuli's shoulder heavily, his face full of gratification!

"Dad, it was just barely enough! The main thing was that the time inside was too abundant. Actually, when I had spent ten thousand years inside, I had already successfully transformed. I didn't expect there to be two thousand years left. I had nothing to do, and it was such a torment inside!"

Lin Wuli brushed back his loose hair, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, as if he were saying...

Dad, hurry up and praise me—no, wait, you should hurry up and praise me!

Lin Potian was stunned, "Then why didn't you come out?"

"Can I come out? I thought I had to stay for the full duration..."

Lin Wuli looked blank; what was the point of him suffering through those two thousand years inside?

Was it because he had too much lifespan and nothing better to do?

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian clenched his fists repeatedly, his teeth nearly shattering; that was two thousand years!

If given to a Lin Family descendant with talent in need, it would be enough to create a legend!

Yet it was just wasted like that!

"Lin Wuli, you unfilial son!!"

Then, with a bang!

"Dad, even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs!"

Lin Potian sent Lin Wuli flying with a single punch, then turned around, looking angrily at Lin Wunian and Lin Wuliu!

The two brothers were trembling with fear, hugging each other tightly. Wuliu bared his teeth and said tremblingly: "Dad, don't hit us. If you want to hit someone, hit the eldest brother. I am the most filial!"

"Wuliu, you!"

Lin Wunian was instantly furious; how could his second brother, usually the most hot-tempered, be so spineless in front of Dad?

Lin Potian rolled his eyes and looked toward another training ground, which was where the Lin Family members were located.

Including his younger sister Lin Wan'er, who was also in that training ground; her soul had just returned to her body and she was still very weak, needing time to settle.

But this training ground was quite ordinary: one year outside was a hundred years inside.

However, there was no other way; the Lin Family members generally didn't have high cultivation realms, and the time flow they could withstand was limited. Moreover, although the Heaven-Reaching Token's artifact spirit had recognized him, it hadn't fully recognized him because his own strength was insufficient, so many resources and training grounds remained unopened.

"Let's go. It's almost time for the One Hundred and Eight Stars Alignment. I will go with you to help your mother open the domain boundary so she can return to the Immortal Domain!"

"Then you all will follow her up; you can help out a bit and don't let your mother be bullied! By the way, Wunian, after you go up, you must remember to rely on the mutual sensing between you Double Pupil holders to find Yi. He is an extremely talented descendant who is currently drifting outside; the Lin Family owes him!"

Lin Potian waved his hand and finished speaking rapidly, like a machine gun.

Before the words had faded, his hands quickly formed seals, the world within the token trembled for a moment, and the Heaven-Reaching Token resonated and connected with Lin Potian. He gave a low shout: "Rise, coordinate—Boundary Sea!"

Whoosh...!

Following Lin Potian's low shout, and with the infusion of Immortal Essence that had reached the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm through external force, the Heaven-Reaching Token suddenly transformed into a stream of light, cutting through the vast sky. Its speed was unimaginably fast, directly crossing the shackles of time and space, arriving in a single breath!

Lin Wuli walked over limping at this moment, aggrieved: "Dad, why did you hit me? Could it be that you saw I was too handsome and had become a Sacred Body Dao Fetus, and you found it an eyesore, so you beat me?"

"Don't force me to slap you!"

Lin Potian glared, raising his palm high!

"No, no, no, Dad, I was wrong, I was just joking!"

Lin Wuli immediately looked terrified and begged for mercy repeatedly!

Then, Lin Potian looked at the three brothers and said in a deep voice, "We have arrived, go out now. Remember, you must take good care of your mother. Dad still has things to finish in the Heavens; once I am done, I will naturally ascend."

"Hiss—! We're here already?"

Lin Wuliu gasped sharply; it had taken at most one breath to cross the entire Heavens and arrive at the Boundary Sea?

What kind of hellish speed does this Heaven-Reaching Order have to be this fast!

Lin Wuliu estimated that even an expert at the peak of Immortal Emperor could not catch up, let alone seize this Heaven-Reaching Order!

But this is fine too; with this Heaven-Reaching Order, he doesn't have to worry about Dad's safety. At the very least, if he can't win, he can still run!

"Alright, then Dad, take care of yourself."

Wunian and Wuli spoke in unison. Both were very smart and knew well that once Lin Potian made a decision, he would not change it, and there was no need to persuade him—to put it bluntly, he was stubborn!

After speaking, the three brothers prepared to leave the Heaven-Reaching Order.

Lin Potian was startled and hurriedly waved his hand, calling out:

"Hey, hey, wait for your old man! Didn't I say I also wanted to see your mother?"

The three brothers slapped their foreheads, looked at each other, and shook their heads with a smile. Then, as if competing, they scrambled to grab Lin Potian's arms. Wuli, failing to grab an arm, jumped directly onto Lin Potian's back, turning into an octopus!

"You guys, you guys!"

Lin Potian was gratified beyond measure. He had many things to be proud of in his life, but what made him proudest of all was always a happy family and children filling the house!

In an extremely heartwarming scene, the four of them stepped out of the Heaven-Reaching Order together. Looking up at the One Hundred and Eight Stars Alignment in the sky, they looked down to see a slender figure standing on the mountain peak like a lonely shadow by a cold river.

When Lin Potian saw this slender figure, his breathing almost stopped. He was nervous beyond measure; for some reason, he hunched over, found a large rock, and hid behind it!

"Mom, we're here!"

Immediately, three shouts echoed across the empty mountain peak!

Upon hearing this, the slender figure turned slowly. Moonlight and starlight intertwined in her hair. Her face was like finely carved white jade; she smiled slightly and opened her arms.

And she was none other than Liuli, the mother of the three children and Lin Potian's wedded wife.

Although the former had always refused to admit she was Lin Potian's wife...

But it could not be denied that she was the mother of the Lin Sect Dragon Tiger Leopard!

Tap, tap...

The three brothers took a step forward and arrived beside Liuli. Liuli looked them over carefully one by one to see if they were injured, her face full of worry!

Lin Wunian gave a light cough, "Mom, look who's here?"

"I don't want to look! Turn around quickly, let Mom see if you're hurt. Be good, listen to me!"

Liuli looked at her three sons with a worried face. To her, Lin Potian could only be considered an accident; only her three sons were her true love!

Lin Wuliu also coughed lightly, "Mom, we're fine, look who's here!"

"Mom isn't looking. Why is there blood on your chest? How did that happen? Didn't Mom warn you a thousand times not to get hurt?"

Liuli's eyes turned red instantly!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough...! Oh my, it's Dad who's here, he's right over there!"

Lin Wuli coughed loudly as if he were having an asthma attack!

"Who?"

Liuli's slender, boneless jade hand paused, and she whipped her head around!

Lin Potian stood in the wind, his long hair moving with it, his hands restrained. He felt that his face was no longer as handsome and dashing as it had been when they first met, while Liuli remained cold and beautiful. The light flickering in his own eyes was no longer the burning intensity and unruliness of his youth, leaving only the vicissitudes of time.

He didn't even know where to begin with all the words he had wanted to say. He just slightly raised his hand, waving it slowly, revealing a smile he considered satisfactory, and opened his mouth to say:

"Long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Liuli's jade-white swan neck moved, but she couldn't say a word. She walked toward Lin Potian like a walking corpse, a hint of hidden love in her eyes, yet her fists were quietly clenching, and she spat out through gritted teeth, word by word:

"Long time... no see!"

Slap!

She raised her hand and slapped Lin Potian across the face!

This slap did not hurt his physical body, but Lin Potian's heart was chilled by half!

It was freezing cold!
