The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 751 - 259 Living People Shall Not Cross the River of Oblivion
Lin Yun regretted not taking the opportunity to gag Qian Qian on the way.
Although Snow Maiden bravely resisted her "poisonous milk," it was just an accident, and Lin Yun wouldn’t deny Qian Qian’s "poisonous milk."
Now that they had seen the walls of Reincarnation City, Qian Qian was sighing about their good luck, and Lin Yun had a feeling that they might soon run into trouble.
Snow Maiden, unaware of Qian Qian’s prowess, chimed in, "It seems right; this city is called Reincarnation, so there must be some connection to the Reincarnation Well."
Lin Yun: "..."
The Snow Maiden has actually started to think!
And her reasoning was remarkably accurate; this was bad. Could it be that this Snow Maiden was a fake, and the lotus in her hand was the real Snow Maiden?
At that moment, Lin Yun let his imagination run wild.
Little did he know, Snow Maiden was making up reasoning to demonstrate the changes in her heart, all to show him that she had become smarter.
Did you see that?
I’ve become more intelligent!
Lin Yun looked at the last person in the team; this was the first time he had teamed up with another man, as there had never been any other male characters in his team before.
Not even a single male.
So at this moment, Lin Yun also hoped that Liu Ji would share his thoughts.
Liu Ji: "?"
What are you looking at me for?
Consequently, they stared at each other for several seconds.
Lin Yun: "..."
Forget it; all my teammates are blockheads.
Once Lin Yun realized this, he stopped staring at Liu Ji and turned to say, "This city is grand and solemn, giving one a sense of oppression. There might be powerful beings guarding it; we should prepare ourselves in advance."
Qian Qian and Snow Maiden both nodded, but they weren’t thinking about what powerful beings might be inside Reincarnation City; instead, they were focused on the exchange of looks between Lin Yun and Liu Ji.
On a closer look, Liu Ji was quite handsome, too, and standing beside Lin Yun, they had an indescribable aura—definitely a feast for the eyes.
However, this feeling triggered a strong sense of crisis in both Snow Maiden and Qian Qian.
Previously, they thought they only needed to be wary of women. Now, it seemed that perhaps they should be cautious around men as well?
"Let’s go!"
Unaware of the girls’ wild fantasies, Lin Yun, wielding the Thunderclap Sword, led the way.
The Thunderclap Sword was a Divine Artifact with the properties of Utmost Yang and Utmost Rigidity, which in the Netherland, had a restraining effect on the ghosts of the Netherland. It allowed Lin Yun to practice his skills on some of the weaker enemies.
Liu Ji consciously followed not far behind Lin Yun. The two formed a strategic angle to ensure they could react immediately to any danger and support each other.
Snow Maiden stayed in the middle, shielding Zhang Biyu’s True Spirit, while Qian Qian brought up the rear of the team.
The group followed the Great Dao to the base of Reincarnation City, where they finally saw a yellow river encircling the city.
The river was not too wide, just a hundred or two hundred meters across, with sand-colored water that was still and waveless.
Liu Ji was about to leap across the river but was pulled down by Lin Yun.
"No rush, let’s scout the way first."
Having said that, Lin Yun fetched a chunk of flesh from the Demon Summoning Well and threw it toward the center of the river.
With Lin Yun’s strength, he could have thrown the flesh to the opposite bank, but as it reached the middle of the river, it suddenly dropped and fell into the water.
Quickly, the calm river surface began to churn, and from below, countless black hands reached for that big chunk of flesh. In a matter of seconds, nothing was left on the surface, and calmness once again returned.
Liu Ji then realized that Lin Yun’s caution had saved his life.
Although he was different from a piece of dead meat, facing the same situation didn’t guarantee he would survive, and confronting the unknown, he wasn’t sure he could escape unscathed.
In the Mortal Realm, he was considered a top powerhouse, but in the Netherworld Realm, he no longer held such an advantage.
"Thanks."
"You’re welcome."
Lin Yun looked at the river with some gravity, now, the road ahead was definitely blocked.
He didn’t know what kind of force was causing things to suddenly sink, but for now, he didn’t dare to take off rashly.
Who knew what monsters were hidden under the water!
At this time, Qian Qian actually became excited.
It was her time to shine!
"This is the legendary River of Oblivion. It’s said that the River of Oblivion is a forbidden place for life, a place where living souls are cleansed. Living people cannot cross the river because the water cannot bear the weight of flesh and blood. Only souls can reach the Far Shore of the River of Oblivion.
In the waters, there is a monster called ’Jiang,’ which is what ghosts turn into after death. If someone tries to forcibly cross the river with their physical body, once they reach the middle, they will fall into the water and then be devoured completely by countless Jiangs."
So, the countless black hands that stretched out from the river just now were those of the Jiangs.
With these two key pieces of evidence, it seemed enough to confirm this was indeed the River of Oblivion.
Lin Yun tended to believe Qian Qian’s science popularization.
She then continued to explain, "It’s rumored that the River of Oblivion cleanses the memories of the living souls, which is also the last step before reincarnation. Souls that wander in the waters of the River of Oblivion gradually forget their entire lives, and at the end of the River of Oblivion, is the Reincarnation Well."
"Which means, if we follow this river, we can find the Reincarnation Well."
The Snow Maiden repeated the answer yet again.
Although she was a bit naive, she wasn’t stupid; she could come to such an obvious conclusion herself.
But Qian Qian felt like she had been taken advantage of.
After explaining so much, just when she was about to conclude, the Snow Maiden stole her thunder. This girl, no sportsmanship at all!
Out of annoyance, she couldn’t help but throw cold water on the idea, "Don’t get too excited yet, the location of the Reincarnation Well isn’t the most important thing. The Well has been shattered for so many years, there’s only one Well, it may not have the effect you’re looking for."
Hearing Qian Qian pour cold water on it, Lin Yun was immediately invigorated, "In that case, let’s follow this river and find its end!"
Qian Qian: "..."
She felt insulted by Lin Yun, who had clearly proven that not everything she said was the opposite!
"Hm, I don’t believe I’m wrong this time. How about we make a bet?"
Qian Qian was now furious, and Lin Yun knew she was getting carried away. He quickly conceded, "That’s unnecessary."
The more Lin Yun acted this way, the more it stirred Qian Qian’s rebellious spirit.
"No, we have to bet, and not only bet, we have to make a big bet!"
Lin Yun, with no choice, coaxed her, "Then what do you want to bet on?"
Qian Qian’s eyes gleamed as she had a stroke of inspiration, "If I’m right this time and you can’t use the Reincarnation Well normally, it means you lose, and from now on, you must abstain from the company of women."
Lin Yun: "..."
Isn’t that a bit too harsh?
Qian Qian really hit Lin Yun where it hurt.
However, Lin Yun didn’t take the bet too seriously, as he was almost winning over Qian Qian. By the time it came to make good on the bet, a little sweet-talk would easily break it, right?
But since she dared to be so ruthless, Lin Yun wouldn’t hold back either.
"If I win, then you have to follow my orders, no matter what I ask, you must agree, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Qian hesitated.
Could it be that Lin Yun, the little rascal, might take this opportunity to make some indecent requests?
"Are you scared? We can call it off if you want," Lin Yun said offhandedly, but upon hearing this, Qian Qian couldn’t hesitate any longer, "Who’s scared? It’s a deal, hmph, I definitely won’t lose!"
Lin Yun: "..."
Do you really have to curse yourself so much?
