Chapter 79: Parting, the Heaven-Reaching Tower vanishes, and the sword points at the Ji Family!

Lin Potian felt a slight dissatisfaction in his heart and spoke in a sarcastic, mocking tone:

"Yo, yo, yo, a mere Half-step Red Dust Immortal has quite the big mouth? You want to kill someone? Who are you killing?"

Liuli did not respond immediately; she simply took a step forward, entering the gap first, and then, half a foot stepped into the Immortal Domain!

Boom, boom, boom!

The moment that half of her foot stepped into the Immortal Domain, a brilliant light suddenly erupted from her entire body, and powerful strength surged out from within her!

"Crack!"

After a crisp sound, it seemed as if some shackles within her body had been violently shattered, and immediately following, streams of majestic Immortal Essence power surged madly along her meridians like a tide!

Her aura climbed at an astonishing speed, and the barriers of her cultivation realm seemed like paper at this moment, easily broken through!

Red Dust Immortal, Immortal King, Immortal Emperor... until she reached a realm that even Lin Potian could not fathom!

The aura on her body became even more cold and arrogant, like an untouchable peerless Empress, unstained by the mortal world!

The Immortal Essence power surrounding her body gradually condensed into a tangible purple light, and the power of Thunder permeated the air!

The Chu Family of the Immortal Domain possesses the most complete Thunder Dao Rules; the surging thunder light is precisely the characteristic of the Chu Family!

Watching Lin Potian look as if he had turned to stone, his jaw dropped to the ground, a slight expression appeared on Liuli's cold face—was it pride?

Looking askance at Lin Potian, her cherry-red lips parted slightly:

"Do I have the qualifications to marry you?"

"Do I have the qualifications to back up my sons?"

Lin Potian didn't even think about it and blurted out: "Yes, yes, yes, you absolutely do!"

"But Liuli, you still need to be careful. It is easy to dodge an open spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow; being too rigid leads to breaking!"

As soon as the words fell, the three brothers looked at each other in dismay; their old man always boasted that he was the toughest man in the Zhutian Wanjie, but this...

He wasn't that tough!

He turned soft way too quickly!

"Mother, since you possess such a cultivation realm, why were you willing to lose all your cultivation back then just to secretly flee to the lower realm, and why were you willing to become a Heaven-Condemned Person rather than fulfill your marriage contract with Ji Lushen? Logically speaking, that would have been a union of the strong, yet you chose Father instead. Is there some hidden story behind this?"

Lin Wunian frowned, and after thinking it over repeatedly, he asked his question.

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's eyes widened, and he puffed out his cheeks and glared: "What kind of talk is that, what kind of talk! That year, your old man walked with his hands in his pockets, charming thousands of young beauties; I was just 'handsome' from start to finish. Your mother couldn't even walk straight when she saw me, understand? It was just handsome, purely handsome!"

Hearing this, Lin Wunian chose to ignore him directly.

In his heart, he silently typed a '6'.

Lin Wuliu and Lin Wuli were both ashamed; they were already over a hundred thousand years old, why was he still like an old child? He was blowing hot air until the cows died!

Their mother wasn't that kind of shallow person, and besides, what use was being handsome?

Could you eat it?

The next second, Lin Potian felt a majestic chill behind him. He turned his head to see Liuli's angry face and said flatteringly: "I was just joking, just trying to liven up the atmosphere. Don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Lin Potian was truly joking; he felt very oppressed in his heart, and at a time of parting like this, he could only use smiles to cover up his loneliness.

Liuli was very strong, but that only served to show that the factors that had forced Liuli to the lower realm back then were even more terrifying!

For a moment, Lin Potian felt truly, immensely oppressed!

"Wunian, there was indeed a hidden story behind Mother coming to the lower realm. My dislike for Ji Lushen is part of the reason, but the other reason..."

Liuli sighed and suddenly stopped speaking.

"Mother, please continue!"

The three brothers pricked up their ears, listening intently.

Even Lin Potian put away his previous playfulness and wore a solemn expression!

He was afraid, very afraid that after Liuli returned to the Immortal Domain, it would be nothing but disaster...

And no fortune!

Liuli shook her head and said faintly: "That is a great causal connection sufficient to overturn the entire Immortal Domain. Even I cannot bear it, and you cannot even hear of it..."

After speaking, Liuli reached out her hand, looked at her three sons with doting eyes, and said softly: "Therefore, Mother needs your help. The Immortal Path of the Heavens is severed; only the Immortal Domain has cultivation resources. You really must grow up quickly! Mother cannot hold on alone."

Lin Wunian didn't even think about it and nodded directly: "Okay!"

He then turned around, preparing to kneel to Lin Potian to bid farewell, but the latter flew over and kicked him into the Immortal Domain!

"Don't dawdle. We are a family; no one can afford to be lost!"

"You go first; I will be up there in a few days!"

Lin Potian's heart was heavy to the extreme. Liuli had never shown such an expression before; how helpless must she be regarding the matter buried deep in her heart!

Most importantly, he really had one major task left to complete; he really couldn't leave yet...

That was a supreme treasure, a massive source of help.

Swish...!

Lin Wuliu and Lin Wuli turned their heads instantly, seeing the decision in each other's eyes.

They also prepared to kneel to Lin Potian to bid farewell, but the latter flew over and kicked them both into the Immortal Domain!

"Father, you must take care of yourself!"

The three brothers were instantly teary-eyed, their faces streaming with tears.

Lin Potian suppressed the reluctance in his heart and glared, shouting angrily:

"What kind of nonsense is that? We all have to be fine. Not making your mother angry is the best thing you can do!"

"Wunian, you are the most mature; I have nothing to tell you. Wuliu, rein in that temper of yours and learn to control it; impulsiveness doesn't solve problems, you must learn to use strategy and use your brain! As for Wuli, you are the most devious of the three brothers, so just do as you please; improvise!"

"I...!"

Lin Wuli was on the verge of tears; what did he mean by him being the most devious?

Was it a crime not to talk much?

Boom—!

At this moment, the gap was also slowly closing, emitting a faint rumbling sound.

"You, too, must take care of yourself."

"Inside this jade talisman is a clone of mine, possessing fifty percent of the combat power I had at my peak. It can be used once. Take it and keep it as a trump card."

Taking advantage of the moment the rift was about to close, Liuli threw out a Warm Fragrant Jade Pendant, her tone revealing almost no trace of concern or attachment.

But Lin Potian knew that Liuli was just like this; her tone was icy, but her heart... was not cold.

Reaching out to catch it, he hung the Warm Fragrant Jade Pendant directly around his neck. Lin Potian waved goodbye to the mother and her three children, shouting loudly: "All of you wait for me, I will ascend very soon!"

Upon hearing this, the three brothers could not hold back their tears and waved their hands vigorously.

After a moment of hesitation, Liuli actually waved her hand as well, her jade lips parting slightly, yet not a sound emerged...

Instead, it rang out in the depths of Lin Potian's heart!

"Husband, take care!"

Boom!

The gap closed completely at this moment, cutting off the Immortal Domain from the Heavens entirely!

"Husband? Liuli actually called me husband!"

Lin Potian was so excited that his whole body was trembling, as if he had been injected with chicken blood!

There was nothing more lethal than those two words!

In the past, Liuli would always just say "Hey," and he would tirelessly repeat, "I am not called 'Hey,' I am called Lin Potian."

But today, Liuli actually called him husband?

This feeling, wonderful... simply wonderful!

After jumping around in excitement on the spot for at least half an hour, Lin Potian finally calmed down. After settling his mood, he stroked the stubble on his chin and thought to himself: "I wonder if I, currently at the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm with the help of external forces, can clear the Tongtian Tower?"

"If I could take the tower with me, that would be a tremendous help to me!"

And this was precisely the biggest reason why Lin Potian chose to stay in the Heavens!

The Tongtian Tower was extremely heaven-defying and mysterious, and the artifact spirit, the Saint Emperor inside, was quite powerful. If he could clear it and take it away, Lin Potian felt he would have much more confidence after reaching the Upper Immortal Domain!

After all, that place was not like the Heavens; there were simply too many powerful beings there!

More importantly, Liuli didn't even dare to speak of the reason she had fled to the lower realm, so the mastermind behind it must be extremely terrifying. After Liuli returned, her situation would certainly not be as relaxed as she made it appear on the surface.

No sooner said than done, Lin Potian stood up and flew straight toward the Tongtian Tower.

Upon arriving, Lin Potian was instantly dumbfounded, standing in the wind, utterly bewildered!

"No way, where is my tower!!"

Lin Potian stood frozen on the spot. The scene before his eyes was simply unbelievable; where the Tongtian Tower should have been standing, there was now only a barren wasteland!

Rubbing his eyes to ensure he wasn't seeing things, Lin Potian released his divine soul in an instant, spreading it across the entire Zhutian Wanjie, and even covering the entire Yiyu!

He searched everything thoroughly, yet he still could not see a trace of the Tongtian Tower; he couldn't even find a single piece of the tower's skin!

At this time, the Tongtian Token in his sleeve flew out automatically. The artifact spirit Xiaoxiao emerged from the Tongtian Token, looked at the emptiness before them, and was even more shocked, exclaiming in horror:

"Young Master, this shouldn't be! How could the Tongtian Tower disappear?"

"You're asking me, who should I ask? Could it be that the Forbidden Senior summoned the Tongtian Tower away?"

Lin Potian frowned and voiced his guess.

"No, impossible! Young Master, let me think... don't rush! Give me some time, you go busy yourself with other things first, because I might need a long time to think."

The artifact spirit kept thinking, racking its brains.

"Fine, you think first, think it through."

Lin Potian's tone carried a hint of urgency; the Tongtian Tower could not be lost. If it just flew away like this, he would lose a huge source of support!

At the same time, Lin Potian was also very curious: why was the Tongtian Token so certain it wasn't the Forbidden Senior?

Could it be...?

"How could an supreme expert like the Forbidden Senior fall? I'm really worrying for nothing!"

Lin Potian shook his head with a bitter smile; he had just really wondered if the Forbidden Senior had fallen...

"I'll leave the matter of the Tongtian Tower for Xiaoxiao to worry about; it's time for me to go clean up the mess."

Leaving the mystery of the tower's disappearance to the artifact spirit, Lin Potian turned and left, not lingering there, and headed toward the Highest Heaven.

Sword pointed—at the Ji Family!

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he murmured to himself: "The reckoning, begins!"
