The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 726 - 234 Hong Yue’s Will
Lin Yun’s heart had already emptied.
He sat cross-legged, in fact, he was cultivating.
The mass of energy that formed from the fusion of the Power of Taiyin and the Power of the Sun in his body, after causing him to experience alternating cold and heat for several days, gradually also became balanced.
During the daytime, the sun was overhead, so Lin Yun felt a bit hotter, while at night, with Taiyin above, it was naturally cooler.
But no matter if it was cold or hot, Lin Yun felt not the slightest discomfort.
So tonight, he really wasn’t cold.
This kind of cold that even the gods could not withstand, he could bear it, and the suffering from the alternating cold and heat he endured earlier was not in vain.
But merely this was not enough to face increasingly powerful enemies.
It wasn’t that Lin Yun didn’t make an effort, it was truly that the enemies that popped up were unreasonable.
The usual routine should only involve facing opponents from one level above, shouldn’t it?
If the opponent was too strong, there wouldn’t be clashes within that period of time.
His situation was different. From his transmigration and rebirth until now, the enemies he encountered were either too weak, offering no challenge, or far too strong, again presenting no challenge—absolutely merciless!
In the past, he could rely on his own charm and wisdom, and by holding onto his wife’s coattails, to get through one difficulty after another. But now, it was no longer possible.
Currently, the two strongest ’legs’ he could hold onto were Qian Qian and Qing Nu.
Clearly, Qian Qian’s strength was still lacking a bit, and although Qing Nu appeared to have a high Divine Position and emerged at her peak, she was not a stable ’leg’ to rely on. Moreover, after Qing Nu said those words in the dream, her statue also became somewhat eerie.
This made Lin Yun puzzled.
Su’e had said that the flood was caused by Qing Nu, and the one to bring about the apocalypse was also Qing Nu.
Was Qing Nu an enemy or an ally?
Without clarity on this, Lin Yun didn’t dare place his hopes on Qing Nu anymore.
The current situation was a mess, with various matters chaotically intertwined.
The Sinful Blood of Dongfang Hongyue, the Grand Shaman behind Snow Maiden, the Demon Monarch’s bloodline within Flower Fairy, the trapped Zhen Li, White Tiger’s original form Lin Yu...
These wives of his, each had major troubles; only Bai Jiaojiao and Jiang Chenyu had fewer causal issues. Even Fang Yu was a reincarnation of a Divine Envoy, related to the Divine Spirit Canglan hidden within Lin Yun’s body.
The unfolding events were also always sudden, not waiting for Lin Yun to resolve one issue before creating another.
The battle of the four kings was not yet concluded, the conflict between humans and demons had not yet started, and the Divine Realm Inhabitants were surging forth. The apocalypse was nearly upon us.
One after another, nonstop.
Lin Yun could only empty his brain and sort through slowly to come up with a strategy to break the stalemate.
Gradually, Lin Yun’s heart also settled down.
Indeed, there was no respite from events, but all these events had a containing relationship.
Flower Fairy, Lin Yu, Snow Maiden.
The matters involving these three could be categorized as trials for the return of the King.
The affairs of these three people could be merged into the battle of the four kings.
The purpose of the battle of the four kings was not to determine life and death, or declare victory or defeat, but for the legacy of The Emperor.
In essence, The Emperor must emerge to confront a catastrophe; hence, the battle of the four kings could be incorporated into the catastrophe response.
Where does the catastrophe come from?
First, Sinful Blood; second, flood; third, the return of the Divine Realm Inhabitants.
Ranked by threat level, the flood was the most threatening, carrying with it the disaster of world destruction; then came the Sinful Blood, and compared to these, the crisis of the Divine Realm Inhabitants seemed almost negligible.
The matters concerning Zhen Li could also be merged into the flood incident, which was a world-destroying cataclysm, and Zhen Li, as the Savior tied to it, was trapped by related beings, placing us in a very unfavorable situation.
Zhen Li must be saved, but the current impasse was unbreakable, so the only option was to start elsewhere.
There seemed to be many issues, but in reality, there were only three things to be done.
To have The Emperor emerge, to have Dongfang Hongyue delay her breakthrough, to save Zhen Li.
With this realization, Lin Yun’s thoughts became clear, free from trouble.
He suddenly opened his eyes, startling Qian Qian so much she stumbled backward.
Lin Yun gave a slight smile, knowing that Qian Qian was probably worried about him and had been stealthily watching him!
"If you like watching me, you can do so openly, no need to sneak around."
"Who’s sneaking a look at you!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Caught in the act and teased by Lin Yun in this manner, Qian Qian immediately became annoyed and embarrassed.
"I...I was just afraid something might go wrong with your practice, so I was protecting you," she retorted.
"Is that so? It seems I misunderstood."
"Hmph!"
Qian Qian snorted arrogantly, secretly relieved she had managed to bluff her way through.
Lin Yun, in his current state, must have adjusted his mindset. This guy, his mental cultivation level is really quite impressive.
"Dawn is nearly upon us. If we still can’t leave, what do you plan to do?"
Qian Qian was very curious about this.
"I feel like we should be able to go now. The problem seems to be with the moon in this area."
Lin Yun made this remark with a restrained tone.
He felt the problem was indeed with the moon, but it wasn’t just this area; in the dreamscape, the moon was a gateway to the Outer Realm, and within it, Qing Nu was imprisoned. Moreover, since Su’e lost the Moon God’s Divine Position, where did that divine position go?
Perhaps the entire moon was problematic.
The reason they were trapped in the desert wasn’t that the moon there was suspicious, but rather that they had been targeted.
Perhaps if they changed locations, they would still be trapped.
Trapped without injury, what was the purpose?
Lin Yun gazed at the sky gradually turning pale, but his heart was filled with ominous premonitions.
Surely something had happened; maybe his arrival affected others’ destinies, so he was trapped...
This was the most logical explanation but also the outcome Lin Yun least wanted to see.
Cloud Dream Marsh.
Dongfang Hongyue was deep in secluded cultivation.
Lin Yun had gone missing again, but it wasn’t a big deal; he would come back.
Her only task was to continue her cultivation.
Only strength could solve everything.
She couldn’t accept her current combat strength ranking at the bottom. If this continued, how would she command the rear palace in the future?
In terms of timing, it was also the moment to break through.
Dongfang Hongyue worried that if she didn’t advance soon, when the Divine Realm Inhabitants attacked, they would be utterly defenseless.
Although breaking through was risky, she had no choice but to do it.
Stability was for the sake of survival, but how could one never take risks in life?
"There’s no time like the present; today it is!"
Dongfang Hongyue felt that her Divine Soul had reached full maturity; she just needed the Earthly Soul now.
She decided to break through at the moment of sun and moon convergence, a time that might be more auspicious.
Glancing at the bright moon above, Dongfang Hongyue hesitated for a moment before pulling out her writing brush and ink, and then she began to write a few delicate characters: "To my dear husband, Lin Yun..."
Having written only these few words, Dongfang Hongyue found herself unable to continue.
Her heart was in turmoil.
But gripping the brush firmly, she made up her mind.
"By the time you read this letter, I might have failed to break through and already returned to the Netherworld..."
