Chapter 710 Lin Ao Tian
Bai Hu Tian Zun was also ruthless this time, his moves extremely vicious and clearly intended to kill the three of them.
Brutally hit by the joint palm of the two great Heavenly Venerables, the White Tiger Heavenly Venerable's true body unleashed its most ferocious strike, and with just this one blow, it heavily sent the two Heavenly Venerables flying out.
Both sides suffered losses.
Three Heavenly Venerables saw that the White Tiger Heavenly Venerable was about to perish together with them, and the three of them did not hesitate in the slightest. They turned around quickly and left, disappearing from view in the blink of an eye into the depths of the Heavenly Punishment Forest.
Defeated the three, Bai Hu Tian Zun transformed back into human form and fell onto a giant rock, swaying unsteadily. Seeing this, Lin Yun hastily left the air mask and supported Bai Hu Tian Zun with one hand, asking: "Senior, are you alright?"
Shaking his head, Bai Hu Tian Zun was clearly severely injured at this moment, but he insisted on holding on. He smiled and said, "Follow me."
Then, regardless of how far Lin Yun was, Bai Hu Tian Zun grabbed his hand and the two figures quickly disappeared on top of a giant rock, in an underground secret room beneath the Heavenly Punishment Forest.
Baihu Tianzun temporarily stabilized the injuries in his body, then looked at the young man in front of him and asked: "Are you Lin Yun?"
Although he didn't know what the old man meant by asking this, Lin Yun still nodded and said, "Yes, I'm called Lin Yun."
"What's your father's name?"
Father?
Lin San.
"Lin San, Lin San, where is your father?"
To his parents, according to the news in his mind, that is, no father and no mother. At a very young age, his parents had already passed away, so Lin Yun also did not hide anything and said: "I have no father or mother, they have all passed away."
"Lin Yun, I want to ask you for a favor, and I hope you can agree."
"What is it? White Tiger Heavenly Venerable asking me for something?" Lin Yun was indeed surprised by the sudden words of White Tiger Heavenly Venerable. Since he had already used the word "ask", if he didn't agree, it would be a bit too impolite. So he said: "Senior, what is it that you need? Just give the order, as long as I can do it, I will definitely try my best to accomplish it."
"This time I've offended the Qi Sect, and if nothing unexpected happens, I believe the Qi Sect will think of all sorts of ways to deal with the Heavenly Punishment Forest in the future. My injuries probably won't last more than three days, so I want to ask you, can you help take care of the Heavenly Punishment Forest later on?"
Shrimp? Help take care of the Heavenly Punishment Forest? Isn't that going to make us enemies with the Qi Sect? The Qi Sect is a powerful existence, and he is just a small fry, the difference between them is like heaven and earth. Lin Yun does have some self-awareness, with his current strength, even if he develops for ten or twenty years, or even thirty years, it's unlikely that he can contend against the Qi Sect. Even if he wants to help, it's just a case of having the heart but not the ability.
It seems that the White Tiger Heavenly Venerable could see through Lin Yun's thoughts, and his face showed a hint of pain as he said: "Lin Yun, I asked you for help because I know that you are not a mediocre person. In the future, you will surely soar to great heights and become powerful enough to rival the Qi Sect. At that time, I hope you can lend a hand to the Heavenly Punishment Forest. This is my only request, and I hope you can agree."
Looking at the White Tiger Heavenly Venerable who was almost unable to hold on, Lin Yun's heart softened, and he said: "Alright, I'll agree to it, but only if I have enough strength to protect myself. Otherwise, I won't easily become an enemy of the Qi Sect."
"Ah, I understand this point."
When the other party agreed with him, Bai Hu Tian Zun's face showed a hint of joy. He then walked to a stone wall and used some unknown method to open a small stone window, revealing a pure black nine-layered pagoda inside.
The Beast's Tower?
As for the previous conversation between the two, Lin Yun was well aware of it. This time, the three strong men from the Qi Sect came to the Heavenly Punishment Forest, seemingly just for the Beast Tower. The White Tiger Heaven's Lord would rather die than let anyone touch the Beast Tower, which already showed that this tower was no ordinary item. So why did the White Tiger Heaven's Lord still take out this treasure in front of him?
Taking out the nine-layered Wan Beast Tower from the dark grid, Bai Hu Tian Zun seemed to say with some emotion: "The nine-layered small tower in my hand is exactly what the three of you want - the Wan Beast Tower."
As for this point, Lin Yun had already guessed it, so there was nothing surprising about it.
"Back then, I was being hunted by the Qi Sect and fortunately met Senior Lin Ao Tian who lent a hand to help me, allowing me to keep my life and return to the Heavenly Punishment Forest. Twenty years ago, Senior Lin suddenly entered the Heavenly Punishment Forest and found me, handing over this Beast Tower to me for safekeeping, saying that one day someone with fate would come to take it. Looking at you today, it seems like you are that person with fate. Since that's the case, I'll hand over this Beast Tower to you."
Hand over the Wan Shou Tower to himself? Looking at the White Tiger Heavenly Venerable handing over the Wan Shou Tower to him, Lin Yun didn't know why he had a very strange feeling, that was, the Wan Shou Tower seemed to originally belong to him. What's going on here?
"Senior, since the Wan Shou Tower is the treasure of the Heavenly Punishment Forest, how can I possibly want it."
"Don't be modest anymore. Since you're the chosen one, the Wan Shou Tower should belong to you. In the future, if you see Lin Ao Tian, ask him to be your master."
As for this, Lin Yun did not immediately agree. He couldn't just take the Wan Shou Tower and then have to acknowledge him as his master, could he? Who knew what kind of person Lin Ao Tian was? What if Lin Ao Tian was a bad person? Was he supposed to acknowledge him as his master too?
Bai Hu Tian Zun smiled wryly, knowing what the young man was thinking in his heart. "To open the Beast Tower, you must drip your blood into it. The layers that cannot be opened, absolutely cannot be forced open, or else you will definitely receive a backlash. With your current strength, you can at most open three layers of the Beast Tower, understand?"
Nodding, Lin Yun was not a reckless person, of course, he knew that the counter-attack force was terrifying, and if one was not careful, he would lose his life. If it were really like that, wouldn't it be a big loss?
"Senior, I'd like to ask, what secrets does this Beast Tower actually hold?"
It's clear that the Beast Tower is extraordinary, given that the Qi Sect values it so much and has sent three powerful experts to seize it. Now that I've obtained the Beast Tower, I'm eager to ask some questions.
"The Beast Tower, back then Lin Ao Tian had traveled the entire continent, capturing and sealing many First-Heaven first-grade spirit beasts to Void-Ninth grade spirit beasts within the Beast Tower. The total number of spirit beasts in all nine layers of the Beast Tower is staggering, with several tens of thousands of them, each one incredibly powerful. The first layer seals First-Heaven first-grade spirit beasts, the second layer seals First-Heaven second-grade spirit beasts, and so on. Therefore, your current strength can only open the third layer of the Beast Tower."
Tens of thousands of spirit beasts?
Moreover, there are also the Tewan Lingshu and the Xuwu Lingshu. Just thinking about it makes me salivate. After all, having the Wan Shou Tower is equivalent to having a vast army of spiritual beasts. Even if he can only open the third level with his current strength, the congenital third-level spiritual beast is already powerful enough.
"Lin Yun, you must remember that the matter of possessing the Wan Beast Tower cannot be known to others, especially the Qi Sect. If it is revealed, you will face a fatal disaster in the future."
"Don't worry, senior, I'll be careful."
"Alright, I still have some things to arrange, you can leave first."
"Senior, it seems that leaving the Heavenly Punishment Forest isn't going to be easy," Lin Yunke wasn't a fool, this time he had exposed his identity and was discovered by all the spiritual beasts. At this moment, wanting to safely leave the Heavenly Punishment Forest wasn't an easy thing to do.
"Wait, I'll go and inform them, you can rest assured."
With the guarantee of White Tiger Heavenly Venerable, Lin Yun naturally had no more worries. He nodded and said: "Senior, I'll leave first. In the future, if my strength really reaches a certain level, I will definitely not let anyone harm the Heavenly Punishment Forest."
"Thank you."
"No need to be polite," after saying that, Lin Yun also didn't continue to stay behind, leaving the secret room, preparing to leave Tian Fa Forest. Just as Bai Hu Tian Zun said, on his way out of Tian Fa Forest, no matter what level of spiritual beast he encountered, not a single one took the initiative to attack him. It seems that Bai Hu Tian Zun had informed the entire Tian Fa Forest.
Regarding the injury of Bai Hu Tian Zun by the three people from Qi Sect, Lin Yun was also furious. This kind of overbearing behavior should be punished by everyone. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach Qi Sect a lesson. After all, he knew clearly that if they fought again, Bai Hu Tian Zun would fall with 100% certainty, and in the future, the Heavenly Punishment Forest would lose one of its overlords.
Leaving the secret room, Lin Yun only remembered that he had forgotten to ask one thing, which was what exactly Tianzun was. After all, the division of martial artists' strength, from martial artist to Martial Saint, among the nine major realms, seemed to not have a realm called Tianzun. Could it be that Tianzun was a super existence above Martial Saint?
Since he had already left, Lin Yun didn't plan to return and ask this question. If he met a superior person later, it wouldn't be too late to ask again. For now, the top priority was to find a safe place as soon as possible, and then study the Wan Shou Tower in his arms carefully. As soon as he thought of the several tens of thousands of spiritual beasts sealed inside the Wan Shou Tower, his heart started racing wildly.
As for the Lin Ao Tian mentioned by Bai Hu Tian Zun, as well as becoming his apprentice, Lin Yun didn't take it to heart at all. He simply didn't believe that in such a vast continent with countless people, it would be so easy to meet someone like Lin Ao Tian. Moreover, even if he really did have the fortune to meet this legendary figure, it wasn't necessarily the case that he had to become his apprentice. Furthermore, people said that the Wan Shou Tower was left for those who were destined to find it, not specifically for their own disciples. What if he went to become an apprentice and the other party refused or was unwilling?
However, Lin Yun was somewhat surprised that Lin Ao Tian was actually a member of the Sword Sect. He didn't know why, but perhaps it was because he had cultivated the Sword Remnant Chapter and possessed sword energy, he always had a good impression of the Sword Sect and an inexplicable aversion to the Qi Sect. Especially when thinking about the mysterious person who taught him the Sword Remnant Chapter, who might also be from the Sword Sect, he felt even more affectionate towards the Sword Sect.
