The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 728 - 236: The Day of Becoming God

Cultivation, in the end, is it to follow heaven’s will or to defy it?

One who doesn’t conform to heavenly intent doesn’t comprehend the Great Dao.

One who doesn’t defy heavenly intent is without a chance at the Great Dao.

Dongfang Hongyue now also felt torn.

To conform to heaven, or to defy it.

However, she no longer had much time to hesitate.

"Whether I conform to heaven’s will or defy it, let’s save the person first."

With a step, Dongfang Hongyue moved next to the treasure box; as her hand touched the box, what had been an impossibility to open before now unlocked itself in this moment.

This time, Dongfang Hongyue also saw the object inside the box—a small, spherical object floating in the center of the box, glowing silvery-white on one side and blood-red on the other.

The item that twinkled in conjunction with Hong Yue was the side radiating red light, and this little orb was slowly spinning.

It resembled a shrunken moon, and although it was roughly the size of an egg, Dongfang Hongyue felt it contained an extremely terrifying power.

"What in the world is this..."

Dongfang Hongyue, her heart hardened, wrapped her hand in spiritual power and reached for the sphere.

The light pillar that pierced the sky vanished in an instant, and the bewitching power that confused the mind disappeared as well; atop Sunblaze Mountain, those who were engaging in the great chaos suddenly regained clarity. Seeing Dongfang Hongyue suspended in mid-air, everyone’s heads buzzed.

They had lost their wits to be causing such a commotion on Sunblaze Mountain, even provoking the Red Lotus Demon Lord to return. It seemed that today, escape was unlikely.

And Dongfang Hongyue was emanating a terrifying pressure that instilled fear in people, yet they didn’t dare to flee, only standing in place, dumbfounded and desperate.

"All of you, roll out of Sunblaze Mountain!"

With a shout from Dongfang Hongyue, those on the mountain, as if granted amnesty, fled in panicked haste. Dongfang Hongyue had only told them to leave Sunblaze Mountain, but they wished they could roll even further away.

But the disciples of Red Lotus Sect hadn’t left yet; they looked at Dongfang Hongyue with some concern. By intuition, they felt that she was a bit off.

"You all, leave too!"

"But, Sect Hierarch..."

Before Hongling could say more, a fireball hit not far in front of her, blasting her away with its huge shockwave, and this was just the beginning.

Dongfang Hongyue began to attack indiscriminately at the Red Lotus Sect disciples who had not yet departed.

Even though not a single fireball actually hit anyone, the shock waves still caused many to sustain scrapes.

The Elders were even more convinced that something was wrong with Dongfang Hongyue; she appeared to be on the edge of losing control, and aside from leaving, there was nothing else they could do.

Even after being blown away by Dongfang Hongyue, Hongling still was unwilling to retreat.

At that moment, Hong Ye pulled her away.

"Let’s leave first. Let’s not trouble the Sect Hierarch any further."

After being persuaded by Hong Ye, Hongling came to her senses, her eyes brimming with worry for Dongfang Hongyue, yet she still descended the mountain.

If she had known this would be the outcome, she should not have called Dongfang Hongyue back. Although the Red Lotus Sect might falter, Dongfang Hongyue would have been unharmed.

As long as Dongfang Hongyue remained alive, the Red Lotus Sect would not fall.

Regret filled Hongling’s heart.

Dawn broke.

The first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness, bringing light to the Mortal Realm, and Dongfang Hongyue also slowly descended.

Her eyes had turned red, like two dazzling rubies, making her whole being seem both demonic and beautiful, yet with an added chill that deterred anyone from approaching.

With a raise of her hand, a three-colored Fire Lotus was born.

Red, gold, white.

That hint of white was as pure as moonlight.

Dongfang Hongyue hurled the tricolored Fire Lotus, landing it in a flower bed not far away. The flowers in the bed instantly frosted over.

With a thought, the frosted blossoms were immediately burned to ashes.

This fire, it possessed the essence of Ice and Fire Dual Realm.

Dongfang Hongyue looked at her new abilities, yet there was not a hint of joy.

Only now did she realize what that alternating silver and red sphere was.

It was a Divine Position, and moreover, it was the Moon God’s Divine Position.

From now on, she was the Moon God.

Initially, Dongfang Hongyue was quite perplexed, as Yuxuan’s words still echoed in her ears.

Humans are humans, gods are gods, humans can cultivate to become stronger humans, but will never become gods.

However, she had truly become a god.

Yet, she was only half a Moon God.

She was still missing something very important, and only upon acquiring it could she officially become a Divine Spirit.

What she lacked was her Earthly Soul.

Even so, she now possessed immense power, with Ice and Fire Dual Realm being merely its basic application.

Dongfang Hongyue was confident that she could now pin the Flower Fairy down and give her a good rubbing.

Thinking of the Flower Fairy’s arrogance in her presence, then being effortlessly subdued by her, and wearing a baffled expression, Dongfang Hongyue felt genuine pleasure from within.

And as long as she journeyed to the Netherland to reclaim her Earthly Soul, she would become a complete god.

"So, is the purpose of fate to actually send me to the Netherland? Heh, I just won’t go."

Dongfang Hongyue felt her destiny was to go to the Netherland, and there surely had to be a catch.

The Divine Position came too easily, and it seemed to have been prepared for her in advance.

Heaven doesn’t send down pies, only traps.

Underneath every visible advantage lies a killing intent.

As an old hand, Dongfang Hongyue had already taken a considerable risk this time.

She took the bait but had no intention of swallowing the hook.

Becoming a god was indeed tempting, offering near-infinite lifespan and formidable power, but Dongfang Hongyue had faced many temptations before. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

This Moon God, might as well not be one.

"I’ll go into closed-door cultivation first, then consult with Lin Yun when he returns."

Dongfang Hongyue made up her mind, took a step forward, and arrived outside Cloud Dream Marsh.

This was the power of a god.

Even as only a half-god, she already possessed a portion of divine might; if she became a complete god, who in this world would dare to cuckold her!

In the Land of Death, when the brilliance of the sun spread across the earth, Qian Qian also started hopping around happily, the creepy power truly vanished, and she could take Lin Yun away from the Land of Death at any moment.

"Where do you want to go now?"

"Can you take me anywhere I want?"

"Of course, within the Four Spirits Barrier, in a blink of an eye, wherever you want to go, I can take you there."

Qian Qian felt Lin Yun might be underestimating her strength and wanted to show off her might in front of him.

"Then, I want to go to your heart, can I?"

Qian Qian: "..."

At first, she didn’t catch on, but once she did, she immediately became shy and spoke coyly, "Don’t talk nonsense!"

"So that means you can’t take me there?"

Qian Qian became flustered and annoyed, and retorted, "If you’re so capable, go in there yourself!"

"Should I try to enter?"

Qian Qian: "?"

After teasing Qian Qian for a while and realizing she didn’t get his joke, Lin Yun also felt it was somewhat uninteresting and stopped fooling around, saying seriously, "Actually, I want you to take me to Mount Heavenly Dragon..."
