Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Chapter 394 You don't want to see the Holy Land perish, do you?
"It doesn't matter who I am."

Meeting the old madman's horrified gaze, Lin Yu said leisurely, "The important thing is... who are you?"

"who am I?"

The old madman stared blankly at Lin Yu, his eyes, which had just regained their clarity, becoming cloudy and bewildered again.

"who I am……"

The old madman lowered his head, muttering incoherently to himself.

"Who am I...I am—"

Before he could finish speaking, his pupils contracted sharply, and then he suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared:
"They're all dead, all of them are dead, only I'm left..."

"Endless skeletons, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he's here, he's come again!"

The old madman danced wildly, laughing and crying, seemingly having returned to his previous madness.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu's expression froze, and he sighed in frustration.

"This isn't how things are going!"

"Logically speaking, after my guidance, this crazy old man should remember his identity, but instead he's getting madder and madder..."

nonsense!

If talk therapy were effective, wouldn't those ancient and prestigious families have already awakened him with their past stories?

Hearing Lin Yu mutter to himself, Ye Fan rolled his eyes and couldn't help but secretly complain.

Lin Yu ignored Ye Fan's reaction and thoughtfully observed the old madman.

They discovered that although this guy was crazy, he was quite restrained in his every move. Even during the period when he was at his craziest, he didn't dare to get even one step close to Lin Yu.

This shows that beneath his madness, there was still some rationality related to the will to survive.

"If you're afraid of me, then there's still hope..."

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face, and he glanced at the old madman and said calmly:

"Who told you that everyone in the Tianxuan Holy Land is dead?"

"Not to mention that the Holy Maiden who became a slave in the forbidden area still has a trace of her will remaining, there is also a disciple of the Tianxuan Holy Land who survived outside this forbidden area."

"As far as I know, he and you are known as the Three Heroes of Tianxuan. According to seniority, he should call you Senior Brother!"

These words struck the old madman like a bolt from the blue.

The old madman's wailing stopped abruptly, and he turned around sharply, staring intently at Lin Yu, who stood in mid-air.

"Junior brother?!"

"Junior brother!"

"Tell me, where is my junior brother?!"

The old madman's stern shouts echoed across the mountains.

Judging from the voice alone, it seems that he will suddenly attack and demand an answer at any moment.

But Ye Fan found it strange that the old man was only talking fiercely, but his feet were rooted to the spot and he didn't move at all, showing no intention of making a move.

This is what it means to say the toughest thing with the most cowardly attitude, right?
"As expected of the only two survivors from the Tianxuan Holy Land back then."

"This keen sense of danger and strong will to survive are what make you able to survive from this forbidden area!"

Ye Fan sighed inwardly, realizing that he had now glimpsed just the tip of the iceberg of Brother Lin's strength.

Putting everything else aside, the Dark Lord Lin Yu from the Marvel universe alone possesses strength greater than that of any single universe.

However, this being was merely an avatar of Lin Yu.

This shows just how powerful Lin Yu's true form is...

"Considering your pitiful background and tragic circumstances, I will not hold it against you."

Lin Yu said calmly, "However, getting news about your junior brother from me won't be that easy."

The old madman fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "What do you want?"

Lin Yu said leisurely, "Tianxuan Inheritance, Xingzi Secret, Six Paths... never mind, we'll talk about that later!"

The old madman's pupils constricted as he stared intently at Lin Yu, saying, "You want my Tianxuan inheritance?!"

"not me."

Lin Yu shook his head, then turned to the side, revealing a bewildered Ye Fan, and smiled:

"Let me introduce you to Ye Fan, who possesses the Ancient Sacred Body and is the future Heavenly Emperor Ye!"

The old madman instantly turned his gaze to Ye Fan, which startled him awake, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But before he could react further, Lin Yu continued leisurely, "The Tianxuan Holy Land has been destroyed. As one of only two Tianxuan disciples in this world, you wouldn't want to see this lineage perish, would you?"

"Believe me, handing over the Holy Land's inheritance to Ye Fan is absolutely the most correct choice you will make for the next ten thousand years!"

Ye Fan was both amused and exasperated, and quickly transmitted his voice, "Big brother, I—"

Lin Yu interrupted, "Don't speak, just watch me bluff. Once I get it, upload the file, the points are yours, and the knowledge is mine!"

Ye Fan was speechless for a moment, and looked at the old madman with a helpless expression.

The old madman frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said:

"I have a feeling that this world is about to descend into chaos."

"What good is a holy land? Even if it rebuilds its legacy, it will be destroyed once more in the face of the impending chaos..."

It's obvious that this old madman has no intention of continuing the Tianxuan legacy.

The Tianxuan Holy Land that he longed for was merely the one from six thousand years ago.

At this point, the old madman's body trembled slightly, as if he were about to succumb to madness again. Lin Yu was speechless. Since obtaining the chat group, he had performed countless miracles, but this was truly the first time he had encountered such a difficult negotiation and exchange.

Seeing that the old madman was about to go insane again, Lin Yu sighed and said:
"Never mind... empty words are ultimately unfair."

"Since you want the Tianxuan inheritance, I will make an exception and lend you a hand!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Ye Fan's body immediately shone with a brilliant light.

In an instant, an incredibly realistic phantom image appeared on the mountain ridge.

That was a scene Ye Fan had once seen in the desolate ancient forbidden land, which included the once peerless Tianxuan Saintess, countless white bones scattered across the mountains, and past scenes of mountains of corpses and seas of blood...

Upon seeing this, the old madman's madness suddenly stopped.

But then he went crazy, crying and laughing, and the situation seemed even worse than before.

Lin Yu remained expressionless, and with a thought, he transmitted a message into the old madman's mind.

The old madman trembled, then let out a low roar, stood tall, and moved his hands in the air, using the void as a diagram to inscribe the Daoist rhyme, carving the entire illusory scroll into a radiant immortal character!

Ye Fan was taken aback and blurted out, "What is he doing?"

"In response to the calamity..."

Lin Yu said leisurely, "After surviving this ordeal, his strength will improve by leaps and bounds, and his mental state will also improve a lot."

Ye Fan was greatly surprised and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Big brother, what exactly did you do to him?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just passed on a secret technique of the Three Corpses to him. He has amazing comprehension and found some inspiration and opportunities in that secret technique."

"The Three Corpses Secret Technique... is it the one by Tu Junfang?"

"Of course."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "You've seen it too?"

Ye Fan nodded solemnly.

Although the world of Shrouding the Heavens has precise realm divisions, in terms of combat power, it follows a consciousness-based approach.

As the world with the most rigorous foundation in Taoism, "Under One Person" has many theoretical concepts that can be applied to Ye Fan.

"But brother..."

Ye Fan asked in a low voice, "With your strength, you should be able to help the old madman regain his sanity, right? Why go through all that trouble and let him break through on his own?"

“I do have a way to help him regain his sanity, but…”

Lin Yu glanced at Ye Fan and said indifferently, "Whether he's insane or not is none of my business."

Ye Fan was taken aback upon hearing this, then his expression became complicated as he recalled the other group members' previous comments about this Brother Lin.

Lin Yu's attitude towards the chat group members and prospective members was undeniably good, but he didn't care about anyone outside the group, not even Ji Ziyue, the female lead of "Covering the Sky," let alone a mere old madman!

Just then, Lin Yu changed the subject and said with a smile, "Moreover, everything in life is a mix of good and bad fortune, and this state of mind is also a kind of opportunity for him."

"If he can figure it out himself, he will naturally benefit greatly..."

Just like in the original work, every time the old madman appears, he is more lucid than the last time, his strength will have made a great leap, and even his appearance will become younger.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan suddenly understood Lin Yu's meaning.

However, deep down, he still felt that the previous answer was Brother Lin's true thought.

As they talked, the old madman's movements stopped.

He imprinted the huge pattern in the sky into his mind, and then struggled with his expression for a long time before finally calming down.

Then, he turned around, raised his hand and pointed, and a divine light flew out and entered Ye Fan's mind.

Ye Fan was startled, and in a daze, he seemed to see a complete Bible imprinted on his mind.

This is... the Tianxuan Legacy?!

I actually gave it to him!

Ye Fan was both surprised and delighted, but he soon realized that he had been too happy.

After sending out the ancient scripture, the old madman raised his hand and slapped it, leaving a mysterious pattern on the large blue stone.

Ye Fan took a closer look and found that the pattern was difficult to understand, but it seemed familiar, giving him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"...It's that mysterious footwork of the old madman!"

"No, it should be said that it is a fragmented map of the secret passage with the character '行' (xing)!"

Ye Fan's eyes shone brightly, and he immediately concentrated all his energy to memorize the pattern.

As Ye Fan memorized the Dao diagram, the old madman turned his head, his gaze deep and complex as he looked at the semi-transparent youthful phantom, before saying in a deep voice:
"I've fulfilled my promise, it's my turn, senior..."

"very good!"

Lin Yu smiled with satisfaction, then leisurely said, "Northern Holy City, Tianxuan Stone Workshop!"

The old madman's eyes gleamed, and he bowed deeply before turning and walking out of the mountains.

But after taking only a couple of steps, he stopped, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Lin Yu with a complicated expression, saying:
"Before heading north, I have one last question."

"..."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, and said with interest, "Go on."

The old madman slowly said, "Even six thousand years ago, I had never seen someone like you, senior. Who exactly are you, senior?"

"Is this your last question?"

Lin Yu remained noncommittal, shaking his head and saying, "Since that's the case, then let's not delay any longer and hurry north to the Holy City!"

Seeing that Lin Yu was unwilling to answer, the old madman did not dare to press further. He could only sigh, cup his hands in greeting, and then use his movement technique to disappear from their sight.
