The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 709 - 217: What Do You Think He Will Do?

The gigantic stone burst forth with five-colored light, allowing Lin Yun to complete his previous deductions.

Zhen Li might have seen the five-colored light, become curious, touched the stone, and then, Zhen Li disappeared without a trace while the stone’s radiance withdrew.

How large the stone actually was, Lin Yun did not know; Bai Jiaojiao had dug away much of the surrounding soil, yet the bottom of the stone was still not in sight.

Under the scorching of Lin Yun’s flames, the five-colored stone’s brilliance began to swirl, resisting Lin Yun’s blistering fire.

Lin Yun had an abundance of Sun God Divine Power within his body that needed an outlet. Without his active stimulation, it was still operating ceaselessly, continuing to absorb both Taiyin Divine Power and Sun God Divine Power, so Lin Yun simply released it without any reservations.

The golden flames enveloped the entire exposed stone, as the five-colored radiance struggled against it, but parts of it were still melted by Lin Yun.

The five-colored liquid flowed slowly down the stone’s incline and was not completely devoured by the golden blaze.

"Such pure Five Elements Power."

Bai Jiaojiao, having cultivated the Dragon Transformation Scripture, was extremely sensitive to Five Elements Spiritual Power.

Five Elements Spiritual Power was common everywhere in the world, which was not unusual, but the stone being melted by Lin Yun released a five-colored liquid whose Five Elements Power was completely harmonious, enduring and indestructible. This must have been the reason it could resist Lin Yun’s burning!

Bai Jiaojiao tentatively absorbed a drop and quickly incorporated it into her body. She then felt a mass of Five Elements fused Spiritual Energy, enduring and undying.

What a treasure!

Bai Jiaojiao felt that if she absorbed all of this five-colored Spiritual Liquid, she might be able to directly ascend to a Divine Dragon.

As long as she could become a Divine Dragon, her sister would be saved.

Right away, she no longer cared about being polite with others and consumed all of the melted five-colored liquid.

As Lin Yun burned, she drank at his side.

The silently watching Green Snake suddenly understood at this moment.

Perhaps this is the joy of effortless gain that her sister had spoken of!

No one tried to snatch the opportunity from Bai Jiaojiao. This five-colored Spiritual Liquid, everyone knew at a glance what it contained; it was not their path.

As fellow cultivators in the Defiant Heavenly Realm, both Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy knew the direction of their own breakthroughs. They lacked not this combined Five Elements Spiritual Power, but the enlightenment of the Great Dao and themselves. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

They already possessed powerful forces within them and did not need to abandon the essentials for trifles. As for the rest, they had not yet reached that realm.

Dongfang Hongyue, however, remembered what the Book Immortal had once said.

The four kings will ultimately seek the Unity of the Five Elements.

With Unity of the Five Elements, one has a chance to become an emperor.

If the means to achieve the Unity of the Five Elements were laid before them, why were Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy unmoved?

Were they the ones who were amiss, or was the information the Book Immortal had provided initially incorrect?

In any case, since no one was competing, Bai Jiaojiao absorbed it all happily, while the others seemed to have nothing to do.

In fact, they were all quite busy.

They had just set aside their tasks to aid Lin Yun in ambushing Yuan Zidan.

It was unexpected that before Yuan Zidan arrived, Zhen Li had already vanished.

All present knew that Zhen Li might potentially be a future sister. Although they hadn’t acknowledged her yet, it wouldn’t be right to just ignore the situation.

With nothing to do at the moment, they decided to leave the Flower Fairy and Jiang Chenyu to protect Lin Yun while the others continued to set up traps and ambushes.

Just in case Yuan Zidan attacked, they wanted to be ready to deal with him in advance.

In a hidden space, Qian Qian’s Divine Sense returned to her body.

This time, she didn’t fall back into a deep sleep. Instead, she quietly used a spell to begin observing Lin Yun.

The reason she often slept was not that she enjoyed it but because it allowed her to recover more quickly.

The God Realm she created was nestled in the spatial rift within the Primordial Realm. There, she constantly had to consume Divine Power to maintain the stability of the God Realm.

If she were to directly inhabit the Primordial Realm, she wouldn’t have such troubles. However, doing so would be too dangerous. There were great horrors in the Primordial Realm, and letting the world enter it without caution would likely lead to an unknown death.

Thus, each time she left her true form within the God Realm and let her Divine Sense wander. This way, even if part of her Divine Sense dissipated, it would only be a loss of some strength, not true death.

This time, she truly did not want to sleep anymore.

After expending some Divine Power, she saw what Lin Yun was currently up to.

Watching a dark, unremarkable stone change into a five-colored stone under Lin Yun’s incineration, Qian Qian almost spat out blood.

"Such a huge Heaven-Mending Stone!?"

Qian Qian was completely stunned.

She had once seen a fist-sized Five-Colored Stone in Su’e’s treasury, which was Su’e’s most treasured possession. Su’e had told her that she had obtained this treasure, called the Heaven-Mending Stone, during an expedition to the Outer Realm.

This stone could change its size and texture, harden or soften at will, embody the principle of the Five Elements Returning to Origin, and remain unharmed through endless calamities.

The most powerful aspect of the Heaven-Mending Stone was its ability to absorb the Five Elements Power and incorporate it into itself. When attacked, it would instead strengthen itself, which was its most perplexing feature.

There were accounts of the Heaven-Mending Stone in the exploration of the Outer Realm. It was a treasure created by a Prehistoric Divine Being to deal with a great calamity. The piece Su’e had was merely a leftover fragment after the main stone was used.

As for which Prehistoric Divine Being crafted it, even Su’e did not know. Despite being a mere fragment, it was still regarded as a supreme treasure by Su’e.

According to Su’e, that exploration of the Outer Realm was perilous, and both she and Dongfang Yao had their own lucky finds, gaining substantial benefits, with the Heaven-Mending Stone being her ultimate prize.

For this piece of information, Qian Qian had proactively helped Su’e quite a bit. Being a novice little deity, it wasn’t easy for Qian Qian to be taken under the wing of a powerful being.

From Su’e, Qian Qian also learned a great deal.

It could be said that Su’e was both a teacher and a friend to Qian Qian. Of course, since Su’e was quite cunning, Qian Qian couldn’t bring herself to respect her, having been tricked by her too many times, so much so that Qian Qian wished she could bite her a few times.

However, it might be thanks to what Qian Qian learned from Su’e that she has managed to survive up to now.

Therefore, Qian Qian’s feelings towards Su’e are quite complex.

But back to the main point.

When Qian Qian saw such a large Heaven-Mending Stone in front of Lin Yun, she was shocked on the spot.

After the shock, she even doubted whether she was seeing things, as there are many colorful stones.

However, under Lin Yun’s incineration, the stone displayed colorful streaming lights, and it withstood Lin Yun’s burning. Even after it was melted, it only turned into a liquid rather than disappearing completely, which is exactly the characteristic of a Heaven-Mending Stone!

Such a treasure, and yet Lin Yun had the power to destroy it?

Qian Qian admitted, she had underestimated him once again.

"Wait, Prehistoric Divine Beings suppressing ancient catastrophes... this is bad!"

Without hesitation, Qian Qian disappeared from the God Realm in a flash, and the next second, she appeared next to Lin Yun.

"Stop right now!"

If what Su’e said was true, and the Heaven-Mending Stone she possessed was just a scrap, then the one in front of Lin Yun might very well be the main body of the Heaven-Mending Stone that Divine Beings had crafted to suppress the ancient catastrophe.

What the catastrophe was, Qian Qian didn’t know, but since the Heaven-Mending Stone appeared here, was there even a need to guess?

Accompanied by the Heaven-Mending Stone would surely be an unimaginable horror.

No wonder her retrospective method was forcibly interrupted. What could the ancient catastrophe that even Prehistoric Divine Beings treated with special caution be?

If Lin Yun releases what’s beneath, it might lead to a major disaster.

Without giving it too much thought, Qian Qian directly appeared next to Lin Yun.

It was only after successfully traversing space that she suddenly realized something.

Her mind must be broken, she had actually descended in her true form.

Wasn’t this tantamount to courting death?

Well, never mind. As long as she left quickly after speaking, it shouldn’t cause any issues.

Qian Qian’s sudden arrival took Lin Yun by surprise, as he hadn’t expected her to be observing him in secret.

And this Qian Qian, though unchanged in appearance, gave Lin Yun a peculiar feeling.

"This stone is a Heaven-Mending Stone. What’s suppressed beneath the Heaven-Mending Stone is unknown, but you can’t comprehend the consequences if you destroy this Heaven-Mending Stone," Qian Qian urgently said, prompting Lin Yun to suddenly become solemn.

Since Qian Qian came all this way to say this, it surely wasn’t without reason.

But if he left this stone alone, what would happen to Zhen Li?

Zhen Li’s disappearance could very likely be related to this stone.

Lin Yun fell into deep thought, and seeing his troubled expression, Qian Qian quickly tried to persuade him, "Do you want to endanger everyone just for the sake of one person?"

Her words pierced Lin Yun’s chest like a sword, causing him grievous hurt.

Lin Yun began to weigh the pros and cons.

How important was Zhen Li to him?

Upon reflection, she was important, but perhaps not that important.

In simple terms, he was committed to protecting Zhen Li, to care for her, to safeguard her as she grew, and even after that incident, he was willing to take up the responsibility as a man should.

Furthermore, faced with a life-and-death crisis, he might put himself in jeopardy to save Zhen Li.

Just like now, he had proved through his actions that he was not just talking big.

However, when rescuing Zhen Li would jeopardize the safety of others, Lin Yun had to consider whether he should proceed.

Dongfang Hong Yue, Flower Fairy, Bai Jiaojiao – each one of them was more important to him than Zhen Li.

Lin Yun was unwilling to harm them for Zhen Li’s sake.

At that moment, Lin Yun hesitated.

Seizing the moment, Qian Qian pressed on, "An ancient catastrophe that even Prehistoric Divine Beings dread—do you think if it’s released, you and your loved ones will survive? Just to save one person, which might not even succeed, is it worth it?"

Lin Yun’s heart was utterly shaken.

He had not ceased his actions, but the intensity of his fire output had lessened significantly.

Unknown to him, in a secluded space, Zhen Li was silently watching all of this unfold.

She was still bound by chains. Initially, she could only see a bright moon, but suddenly, the moonlight overhead began reflecting the scene outside.

Lin Yun was frantically searching for her.

Upon realizing how much Lin Yun cared for her, Zhen Li felt both happy and guilty.

Then, she saw the following scene unfold.

Lin Yun had found the Heaven-Mending Stone, but someone was telling him to abandon the rescue, or else it would lead to a catastrophe.

Lin Yun was about to make a choice.

"Guess, what will he do?"

An icy voice suddenly rose from the depths of Zhen Li’s heart...
