Chapter 89: The Holy Emperor's Wish, Undergoing the Immortal King Tribulation!

The Holy Emperor's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this. His eyes lit up as he looked over, and upon confirming it was Lin Potian, he was slightly stunned:

"You're being this kind? The way you looked so angry just now almost made me think I had failed!"

Lin Potian laughed in spite of himself, waved his hand, and then asked: "Not at all. Since the Primal Beast has been completely suppressed, has the situation of my lifespan shrinking within my body recovered?"

"How could it have? Of course not! Coexistence only keeps this black blood from coming out to cause trouble. You still only have two and a half years to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm—no, wait... it's two years and five months now. It took me a month to completely suppress this Primal Beast for you."

The Holy Emperor's eyes were calm as he stated the facts.

"Hiss...! One month? One day is a thousand years, so thirty days... thirty thousand years!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian's just-calmed mood almost became turbulent again. What kind of concept was thirty thousand years?

The lifespan of an ordinary Great Emperor is only ten to twenty thousand years. By just sitting here, he had spent the equivalent of a Great Emperor's entire life in a single month...

Thinking about it this way, Lin Potian really found it hard to keep his composure!

What was more critical was that as long as this Ominous Black Blood was not removed, his lifespan would be devoured rapidly like flowing water. Lin Potian suddenly felt immense pressure in his heart!

He reached up and plucked a hair from his head; the root was already tinged with gray. His pupils constricted, and he quickly made a decision:

"I want to undergo the Immortal Tribulation, right now, immediately!"

Lin Potian felt there was no time left to waste. He had to race against time to improve his cultivation, pass the Immortal Tribulation, and after finishing all matters in the Heavens, rely on his combat power—which far exceeded that of an ordinary Immortal King—to blast open the gates of the Immortal Domain and forcefully ascend!

Because only there were there cultivation resources for the Immortal Dao; otherwise, in these Heavens, he would make no further progress after passing the Immortal Tribulation!

"Wait, if you undergo the Immortal Tribulation, the commotion will definitely be huge. The Heavens cannot withstand it. It is best to undergo the tribulation inside my tower body."

The Holy Emperor hurriedly called out to stop Lin Potian, who was about to step forward.

Lin Potian looked over in surprise and exclaimed: "You are only a Spiritual Body, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning with me? Besides, I need to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Inside your tower body, how will the lightning tribulation lock onto me?"

The Holy Emperor rolled his eyes upon hearing this and sneered: "Young Master, I just love how you look so inexperienced. Never mind the Heavenly Dao of the Heavens, even the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Domain—the Heavenly Boss—he would also have to..."

He paused, and the Holy Emperor did not continue.

Lin Potian's interest was thoroughly piqued, and he hurriedly pressed: "He would also have to what...?"

'Oh no, I bragged too much and can't back it up! If I keep bragging, won't the Heavenly Boss strike me down?'

The Holy Emperor's heart sank, his mouth twitched, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face. He scratched his head and said: "He would also have to give me some face for the sake of my master."

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

Lin Potian couldn't help but clap twice upon hearing this.

He knew it would be like this. You can only believe half of what the Holy Emperor says. This guy just loves to brag too much; it's full of hot air!

"Are you sure I can really undergo the tribulation inside your tower body?"

Lin Potian frowned and confirmed again. He was truly afraid of this Holy Emperor; he never drafted his brags and just blurted them out. Who knows if what he said was reliable!

The Holy Emperor heard this and spoke with absolute certainty, patting his chest with a thud: "That's a must! I guarantee it with my Tower Character, absolutely no problem!"

"What is a Tower Character?"

Lin Potian was slightly stunned. He rarely had blind spots in his knowledge, but this Tower Character...

What kind of thing was that?

The Holy Emperor touched the tip of his nose and said sheepishly: "Humans have character, so naturally, a tower has a Tower Character. That's why I dare to swear on my Tower Character; it's absolutely no problem!"

"Pfft...!"

Lin Potian almost laughed out loud upon hearing this. Just how much does the Holy Emperor want to become a human!

He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Holy Emperor, why do you want to leave your Spiritual Body and become a human so much?"

The Holy Emperor's face turned red instantly, and he stammered: "Don't ask, I won't tell you!"

Lin Potian winked, really wanting to know. Unwilling to give up, he continued to press: "Yo, blushing? Tell me about it. If you tell me, maybe I can help you."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor actually fell into a state of contemplation, thinking that with Lin Potian's might, he might really be able to help!

In just an instant, the Holy Emperor became coy. He walked over and leaned in close to Lin Potian, his face red to the extreme, and said shyly:

"If I were to leave my Spiritual Body, the first thing I would want to do is get a wife."

Lin Potian was stunned and asked in astonishment: "What is a wife?"

These two words had once again touched upon a blind spot in Lin Potian's knowledge!

Moreover, he discovered that this Holy Emperor, just like that Primal Beast, always loved to say strange words. Could it be that this was what they called things outside the Heavens?

After all, the Taboo senior also came from outside the Heavens, and as his Immortal Emperor Artifact, it was normal for the Tongtian Tower to be influenced and speak of strange things.

When Lin Potian asked, the Holy Emperor's face turned even redder. He became even more coy, his voice extremely small: "A wife is what they call it in the master's hometown. In the Heavens, it should be called a Lady."

"Pfft... Hahaha!"

Lin Potian couldn't hold it in anymore. He had thought the Holy Emperor wanted to leave his Spiritual Body and become human because he had some grand ambition, but it turned out...

It was simply plain and unadorned!

"What are you laughing at? If you laugh again, don't even think about entering my tower body. You can only undergo the tribulation outside and let the Heavens be smashed to pieces by your lightning tribulation!"

The Holy Emperor's face couldn't hold it anymore, and he shouted indignantly, muttering to himself: 'Lin Potian, you don't know how much I envy you for having a house full of descendants. But compared to that, I envy the master even more—passing through ten thousand flowers, yet every flower leaves a trace on him.'

Lin Potian laughed until his stomach hurt. He covered his mouth, trying to suppress his laughter, and said: "That's no problem, I'll be your matchmaker when the time comes!"

"Really?"

The Holy Emperor's eyes lit up instantly. He excitedly grabbed Lin Potian's hand, looking affectionate... no, looking earnest!

Lin Potian nodded immediately, his eyes looking toward the nearby Tongtian Tower body, and said in a deep voice: "It is true, but there is no time to lose. We can talk about your affairs later; passing the Immortal Tribulation is the priority!"

"Alright, alright, alright. Come, come, come, noble Young Master, please this way!"

"Please go straight to the seventh floor; that is where the Immortal Essence is most abundant. It was once the place where your eldest son, Lin Wunian, lived. The eighth and ninth floors are the Forbidden Zones of the Tongtian Tower and are also the two remaining trial floors for you. Once you go and pass them, you will be the second-generation master of my Holy Emperor!"

The Holy Emperor bowed ninety degrees and gestured to the side, his face full of smiles, occasionally letting out a silly chuckle.

Originally, Lin Potian had only cleared up to the third floor of the Tongtian Tower, but since Chu Liuli, Lin Wuli, Lin Wuliu, and Lin Wunian lived on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh floors respectively, and they had all left now... how was that counted?

It could only be counted as Lin Potian picking up a bargain and passing the trial without an exam!

Because if they fought, it would just be a scene of domestic violence, and there was no need to fight at all.

"You really are..."

Seeing the Holy Emperor's attitude do a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, Lin Potian laughed in spite of himself and stepped onto the Tongtian Tower.

He felt a little smug in his heart; so many years of experience told him that attacking the body is the inferior strategy, while attacking the heart is the superior one!

Just a few simple words of heart-to-heart talk, and he had easily manipulated this Holy Emperor, who was arrogant to the point of being haughty!

It was mainly that he himself truly had not expected the Holy Emperor's thoughts to be so plain and unadorned, so down-to-earth!

Since he wants to take a wife, then let him take one!

Tap, tap...

In just a few steps, Lin Potian pushed open the door to the seventh floor of the Tongtian Tower and entered.

He released his Immortal Essence without restraint, raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and drew the Heavenly Tribulation down!

Boom...!

A thunderclap shook the heavens and earth!

The tribulation clouds brewed frantically, and terrifying Tribulation Lightning rolled within them!

Lin Potian narrowed his eyes and looked over; before he could even see clearly what kind of Tribulation Lightning it was, the Holy Emperor widened his eyes and exclaimed in a flustered voice:

"My goodness! Young Master, did you previously survive the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation?"

"Goodness what? Indeed, I once survived the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation."

Lin Potian was truly speechless; this Holy Emperor always spoke in his hometown dialect, and he really couldn't understand it at all!

"Hiss...! After the Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation comes the even more world-destroying Twelve Heavens Lightning Tribulation, which tops the Immortal Tribulation list. This is hard to comment on; Young Master, I wish you success. I must go reinforce this seventh floor to prevent the interior of the tower from being damaged!"

Having received Lin Potian's reply, the Holy Emperor gasped, then vanished in a flash; he was a Spiritual Body without a physical form, and he feared things like Tribulation Lightning the most, let alone the terrifying Twelve Heavens Lightning Tribulation!

But one must say polite things, right? Otherwise, how could he live up to his own prestige?

"It seems I really must take a trip to the forbidden senior's hometown in the future; otherwise, when they speak, it's truly confusing and impossible to understand!"

Lin Potian gave a bitter smile, feeling even more curious about the hometown of that forbidden senior, who was also the master of the Tongtian Tower.

Boom...!

Without giving Lin Potian time to prepare or think too much, the first bolt of Tribulation Lightning crashed down!

It was golden throughout, even tinged with purple!

The first bolt of Tribulation Lightning was the Purple Gold Divine Lightning that had been the final bolt of his previous Red Dust Immortal Tribulation; one could imagine...

... just how terrifying this Twelve Heavens Lightning Tribulation was!

The difficulty had increased by leaps and bounds!

There was no fear in Lin Potian's eyes, only battle intent excited to the extreme; his Immortal Essence surged, and he rose into the sky to face the Tribulation Lightning head-on!

That desperate posture made the tribulation clouds in the sky stop thundering for an instant, carrying a hint of confusion...

Not running away, but attacking instead?

Then, as if flying into a rage, it struck down two more bolts; added to the first one, a full three bolts of divine lightning crashed down fiercely toward Lin Potian!
