The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 730 - 238 Tai Bai: Danger
The inhabitants of the Divine Realm launched a massive invasion of the Primordial Realm, and in the end, only Yu Jiaolong and a cat returned.
Yu Jiaolong returned thanks to her strength, while the cat’s return was a matter of luck.
Many in the Divine Realm thought so, not knowing that what allowed Yu Jiaolong to return was her face; otherwise, she would have long since perished.
Upon her return to the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, Yu Jiaolong immediately reported the intelligence she had gathered to Tai Bai.
Although Tai Bai was in a deep slumber, he could still listen to the voices of his followers.
He didn’t awaken last time because he felt the matter was of little importance; this time, since he awoke, he would naturally share the information with the other two Daoist friends.
Canghai and Biluo, the two Divine Spirits, were greatly shocked by the news Yu Jiaolong brought back.
"The Primordial Realm has fallen to such a state..."
According to Yu Jiaolong, there were no longer any Divine Spirits in the world, and the Four Spirits—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu—were now just myths.
However, the reason for this remained unknown to Yu Jiaolong.
Tai Bai declared with conviction, "They must have all failed their final tribulation, resulting in a historical discontinuity. To understand the truth, we only have one choice—to launch an all-out assault on the Primordial Realm immediately."
"Isn’t this too risky?"
Biluo felt that Tai Bai’s idea was too aggressive, especially considering they had previously been banished by Ancestor Bai.
It was more apt to say they had been exiled by the Heavenly Dao rather than suppressed and then banished by Ancestor Bai.
When heaven and earth lent their power, in those days, Ancestor Bai was unrivaled.
Even if all the gods in the world were to fight against Ancestor Bai, they would only be hung up and beaten.
But Ancestor Bai, who borrowed the power of heaven and earth, also had to endure the backlash of that power. According to Yu Jiaolong’s intelligence, Ancestor Bai’s Divine Soul had likely dissipated; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to shatter the void and return to the Primordial Realm.
That is the fate of those who exert themselves for heaven and earth.
And the rulers of the Four Great Divine Nations, who defied the will of heaven, also suffered severe punishment, and all the Divine Spirits who went to the Four Great Divine Nations perished.
In the end, only Tai Bai, the strongest of them all, survived the divine punishment but was confined within his Divine Nation.
Until this very day.
It was somewhat understandable for Tai Bai to have such an aggressive idea, but the idea itself was not rational.
They were gods who had suffered heavenly punishment, and returning to the Primordial Realm would not only limit their cultivation levels but might also attract a new divine punishment.
Even if they were to wage war again, they should wait until they had accumulated enough strength. Now, having just been resurrected not long ago, they were at their weakest.
Seeking trouble with the Primordial Realm at this time was tantamount to seeking death.
Canghai, however, understood Tai Bai well and knew she would not speak without reason. If she said such things, there must be a reason behind it.
"Do you have a compelling reason to take action?"
Tai Bai nodded slightly, and a series of sword lights flew out, immediately causing Canghai and Biluo to tense up.
They recognized it—this was Tai Bai’s strongest Divine Art, the Cheating Heaven Sword Technique.
This sword technique was not made for slaughter, yet it was more potent than any spell for slaughter.
With this technique in effect, not even the Heavenly Dao could spy on them; under the cover of the sword lights, they had stepped out of the confines of fate.
The matter had to be of great significance for Tai Bai to take it so seriously.
Indeed, as soon as Tai Bai spoke up, the two great gods were stunned.
"I suspect, Cangtian is dead."
"Why would you say that?"
At that moment, Canghai was filled with excitement and eagerness, yet fearful that the news might be false.
They were all outcasts of the Heavenly Dao, but if Cangtian were dead, what would they have to fear?
If Tai Bai’s information wasn’t accurate, that would be disastrous for them.
However, mere suspicion was worth investigating.
"Yu Jiaolong has been to the Primordial Realm, she said that the Four Spirits Barrier shrouds the four corners of the world."
"This..."
Biluo and Canghai both saw the shock and excitement in each other’s eyes.
These alone are not enough to conclude that Cangtian is dead, but they now had a fairly good level of certainty—it was indeed worth taking the risk.
"In that case, I will immediately issue a divine decree and prepare for war."
Canghai was the first to state his position, and Biluo also said, "I feel the same."
Tai Bai nodded and said, "In that case, let’s set it in three days’ time. I will lead the way for you."
Tai Bai’s strength was the strongest, capable of verifying whether Cangtian was indeed dead.
After discussing the battle plans, Tai Bai retracted his sword light.
At this time, there was no need to conceal the secrets of fate.
Biluo said with a hint of envy, "Tai Bai, my friend, when I once sought your instruction on this sword technique, you said I had no affinity with the sword and taught it to Su’e instead. Now, I wonder if I could be considered a person of destiny for this sword technique?"
The only divine art that could completely conceal both the Heavenly Dao and destiny, and cost little to use, was Tai Bai’s Cheating Heaven Sword Technique.
Tai Bai shook his head ever so slightly but still cast a sword light towards Biluo.
"If you can learn it, then your destiny has arrived."
Biluo: "..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
By the sound of it, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to learn it?
Nevertheless, now that he had acquired the technique, it was a gain!
"Thank you, my friend."
Tai Bai nodded to the two gods and then concluded this act of spellcasting.
The three Divine Spirits were in their own Divine Countries, and it was only because of Tai Bai’s spells that they could gather together.
Tai Bai returned to his Divine Country, but the unease in his heart did not diminish; rather, it increased.
"Could it be, the decision I just made was wrong?"
Tai Bai murmured to himself, his decision was based on the information available, but his intuition told him that he was in danger.
"Yu Jiaolong, come to me at once."
Tai Bai issued the divine decree, and Yu Jiaolong, who was still recovering, heard the voice in her mind. A joy crossed her face, and her heart was inexplicably excited.
Being summoned once again by a deity was an honor above all others.
Yu Jiaolong rushed to the Tai Bai Divine Temple at her fastest speed. Upon arriving at the main hall, she knelt down in a prostrate position.
A devout believer’s faith in their Divine Spirit is unshakably firm; not to mention kneeling, even if they were asked for their lives, it was but a word away.
"Rise, no need for such formalities."
Yu Jiaolong then stood up, but still kept her head lowered, not daring to look directly at the Divine Spirit’s face.
"In three days, I shall launch a great war. As for you, will you lead the vanguard?"
"Your servant dares not. Your servant has tarnished the Divine Country’s face in combat and deserves punishment. How can I hold a high position again? Please reconsider, Your Majesty."
"No matter, your survival and return with crucial intelligence is your merit. No one will question your ability."
Tai Bai spoke with conviction, and Yu Jiaolong dared not resist further, only able to accept the command: "Your servant will brave fire and water and die a thousand deaths without regret."
"That won’t be necessary, by the way, last time you mentioned someone named Lin Yun who killed all of your people. How much do you know about this person?"
"I don’t know much, but he might be the Child of Heavenly Mandate."
"If that is so, then kill him first!"
Tai Bai gave the command indifferently, and at that moment, her spirit shook violently.
Danger?!
