Chapter 99: A Glimpse into the Future!

~7 min read 1,245 words

"What if I said my master can? He has already... stepped out half a step."

The Holy Emperor was expressionless, his pair of Silver Pupils even calmer, speaking with such conviction that one could not detect a single flaw.

Sure enough, Liudaolunhuidi could not help but believe it a little; his originally tranquil expression changed abruptly, and he said with slight agitation: "Holy Emperor, are you speaking the truth? If he has truly stepped out half a step, then what harm is there in me teaching this Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art to this young friend?"

The Holy Emperor nodded, but he changed the subject, his brows slightly furrowed: "But Your Excellency, in your current state... I fear you are about to dissipate!"

Liudaolunhuidi was startled, a look of annoyance appearing on his face, and he sighed: "Indeed, I am about to dissipate, yet I still desired resurrection; I have become obsessed!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Holy Emperor continued without pause, blurting out: "Your Excellency, I have a way. If you enter my Tongtian Tower, I can nurture you and prevent you from dissipating. Once I find my master in the future, I will tell him of the grace of this transmission, and my master will surely be moved by this kindness and resurrect you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Potian hurriedly lowered his head; he knew this fellow, the Holy Emperor, too well. This expression, as calm as water, definitely meant trouble!

This fellow could spout nonsense at the drop of a hat!

As for his motive... Lin Potian had seen through it long ago!

First, he wanted Liudaolunhui Xiandi to move into the Tongtian Tower. The Holy Emperor had once said he could borrow the power and Dao Laws of those residing within. If a former Immortal Emperor-level powerhouse were to move in, it would certainly bring him no small amount of assistance!

Second, it was to make this Immortal Emperor transmit his technique.

But the Holy Emperor's words were always a mix of truth and lies, with a large component of bragging; Lin Potian could not judge for a moment which sentences were true and which were false.

However, the Tongtian Tower could indeed nurture remnant souls and slow the passage of life; otherwise, Great Emperors like Ao Yin, Ao Wushuang, and Wang Daoji, who were nearing the end of their lives, would not have entered it.

"Cooperate with me, cooperate with me!"

Sure enough, as soon as the Holy Emperor turned his back, he blinked frantically at Lin Potian and sent a sound transmission.

Lin Potian understood immediately; although he did not approve of this method, this was the Holy Emperor, so he had to help!

He quickly bowed to the pondering Liudaolunhuidi and said rapidly: "Senior, the Tongtian Tower can indeed nurture remnant souls and has a miraculous effect in curbing the passage of life!"

Having said this, Liudaolunhuidi looked at Lin Potian gloomily, shook his head for a moment, and sighed slightly: "Young friend, whether you are deceiving me or what you want, I do not care. What I want... is merely resurrection."

"As long as you can resurrect me in the future, or if you can confirm that he can resurrect me, then there is no need to say more."

Having said that, Liudaolunhuidi looked at the Holy Emperor again and said in a deep voice: "Holy Emperor, has your master really stepped out half a step?"

"My... master has indeed stepped out half a step, but whether he can resurrect you is an unknown variable; after all, you died from an ominous cause."

Facing the burning gaze of Liudaolunhuidi, and being seen through at the same time, the Holy Emperor did not want to keep pretending and spoke honestly.

Lin Potian was also speechless; how could one possibly deceive an Immortal Emperor?

The next second, Liudaolunhuidi stepped forward, stopping only an inch away from Lin Potian, looking at him intensely and with great solemnity:

"Young friend, I can transmit the technique to you, but I have seen a corner of the future where you have a chance to resurrect me. I only ask you... if that day truly comes, are you willing to try?" Liudaolunhuidi smiled, his eyes bright, as if he had truly seen a corner of the future.

Hearing this, Lin Potian stepped back a moment later, bowed, and said: "Senior, this is only natural. If I can resurrect you, I will certainly do my utmost and will not shirk even at the cost of my life!"

"However, please also enter the Tongtian Tower, Senior; it can nurture your remnant soul, and this statement is not false."

Lin Potian's words were extremely sincere. Even the arrogant Holy Emperor held this Liudaolunhuidi in such high regard, which meant he must be a person of integrity and uprightness. Even now, using the technique transmission as a condition, he only asked for a chance in the future, so he, Lin Potian, must treat him with sincerity!

"Good! The young friend is truly a person of genuine character!"

"Then I shall transmit this Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art to you, young friend! As for this small peach tree of mine, I will not give it to you; I will leave it for your descendant Lin Feng, for he is my true successor!"

Liudaolunhuidi nodded with a smile, and before Lin Potian could respond, without a word of nonsense, he pointed a finger directly at the center of Lin Potian's brow!

Boom!

A torrent of techniques, vast as the ocean, surged violently into Lin Potian's sea of consciousness!

It was precisely the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art!

Like the Great Saint Heavenly Emperor Art, it was also an Immortal Emperor-level technique!

In an instant, Lin Potian's consciousness felt as if it had been swept into an endless vortex; every character of the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art weighed a thousand jun, striking his soul!

The technique swirled and intertwined in his mind, at times as clear as the morning light, at times as blurry as a mist!

Lin Potian could not help but close his eyes, his whole body tense, naturally entering a state of enlightenment, sitting cross-legged, with fine beads of sweat constantly seeping from his forehead.

Of course, Liudaolunhuidi also pointed a finger at the center of Lin Feng's brow; the latter immediately rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground. The amount of knowledge was too vast, and with his Quasi-Emperor cultivation, it was unknown how long it would take for him to comprehend it.

Tap, tap...

"Your Excellency Liudaolunhui, what exactly is the corner of the future you saw?"

The Holy Emperor walked over with a complex expression, standing still behind the smiling Liudaolunhuidi, his eyes gloomy.

His heart was even more conflicted; the Holy Emperor understood very well that this Immortal Emperor cultivated the Dao of Reincarnation, and the future he could see might be very different.

In other words, the future that Liudaolunhui Xiandi could see might be from the perspective of someone who had fallen into reincarnation...

Which meant, was Lin Potian already destined to fall?

"What kind of joke is this? The Young Master hasn't freed me from the shackles of the tower, hasn't found me a wife—how could he fall!"

The Holy Emperor roared madly in his heart, and to be certain, he lowered his voice and spoke:

"Your Excellency, is my Young Master... dead in the future?"
