The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 759 - 267: The Solution to the Four Spirits Barrier

Chapter 759: Chapter 267: The Solution to the Four Spirits Barrier

The Minotaur paid no attention to Lin Yun’s subtle movements and began to answer their first question.

"The cycle has already been broken, and to restore the Reincarnation Well to its former divine power is almost impossible. Repairing the broken boundary is difficult to complete, even if it were the newly shattered cycle, the Lord of the Netherworld Realm tried to fix it but exhausted all the divine power, ultimately meeting with a fall."

The Lord of the Netherworld Realm?

What’s that?

Not only Lin Yun and Liu Ji, two mortals, but even Qian Qian stood dumbstruck as well.

Despite being a Divine Spirit that had lived through the Twilight Era of the Gods, she had never heard of the title Lord of the Netherworld Realm.

In fact, during the Twilight Era of the Gods, and even the Era of the Great War between Gods and Demons, the Netherworld’s presence was very low.

Mortals without faith would go to the Netherworld; those with faith would go to the divine sanctuaries of the Divine Spirits. After death, the souls of these people would not return to the Netherworld but to the embrace of the gods.

As for gods, who lived as long as the heavens, they naturally wouldn’t have their souls return to the Netherworld either.

Even in death, they returned to the cosmos, becoming a benefit to a place.

The power contained within the body of a Divine Spirit is incredibly strong, capable of blessing numerous lesser beings many times over.

This reaction is like the Whale Fall; when one god dies, all things live.

The Netherworld Realm is not suitable for living beings, thus it was not given much importance, and some gods discovered the Netherworld Realm early on, wandered through it, felt it was not a good place, and therefore did not pay much attention to it.

Divine Spirits are born with arrogance, having no interest at all in such gloomy and desolate places as the Netherworld Realm.

So much so, that newer Divine Spirits like Qian Qian were not even aware of the existence of the Lord of the Netherworld Realm.

However, while the three of them were standing agape, the Snow Maiden seemed to understand and even said with a hint of sigh, "So that’s how the Lord of the Netherworld Realm died!"

"You know?"

Qian Qian looked shocked.

Not only shocked, but she also felt embarrassed.

Having lived for so long, her strength being on par with the Snow Maiden was one thing, but to be less knowledgeable than her, that was too embarrassing!

However, her first reaction was to doubt. Did the Snow Maiden really know about the Lord of the Netherworld Realm?

"Of course!"

The Snow Maiden said innocently, "The term ’Lord of the Netherworld Realm’ appeared in the memory of my divine father. He was a close friend of my father’s, and moreover, my father believed that his power had approached the ultimate limit, even possibly surpassing it. Therefore, my divine father speculated that He might not be a god of this era."

What does ’ultimate limit’ mean?

Qian Qian still didn’t quite understand.

If it were Tai Bai listening, he might have understood.

When Divine Spirits’ power peaks, it’s not a breakthrough of the limit, but an approach to the limit.

After breaking through the limit, they would divide.

Water overflows when full, the moon wanes after it waxes full.

After division, power certainly declines.

This is a law that the gods of the second epoch adhered to, so it makes sense for Xuanwu to determine that the Lord of the Netherworld Realm might have surpassed the limit and to speculate, based on this reasoning, that He is not a god of this era.

Although Qian Qian didn’t quite grasp the concept of ’limit,’ she felt relieved to have an inkling about Lord Yama’s identity, who was highly likely to have been the Lord of the Netherworld Realm. The current Lord Yama is essentially the only ruler of the Netherworld Realm.

With this in mind, things became much simpler.

Looking at the Snow Maiden with some envy, Qian Qian sighed, "You’re really lucky; Xuanwu actually passed all the inheritance to you."

In a battle of life and death with no shared defeat, not only was the inheritance preserved, but memories were too. For Xuanwu to make such a choice, it must have been because Xuanwu knew there was no chance of victory.

Regarding a matter of life and death, Xuanwu would certainly not hold back.

This made Qian Qian quite puzzled.

Xuanwu had died many years ago, and the True Spirit he left behind might be weaker, but no matter how one looked at it, it was still a Divine Spirit. Compared to the Divine Soul of a Mortal, it was still as different as clouds are from mud, not at all something of the same dimension.

For two Divine Souls to be evenly matched in strength was already quite absurd, and for Xuanwu to have surrendered, this...

It was utterly preposterous.

Snow Maiden tasted the bitterness in Qian Qian’s expression and couldn’t help but say proudly, "It’s not all of the inheritance though, just part of the memories and some of the inheritance. The memories are rather limited, just a few particularly important matters, one of which is the secrets of reincarnation, and then the relationships and schemings among the Four Saints, as well as the Heaven-Defying War. Right, the most important thing is about the Four Extreme Lands."

Qian Qian: "..."

Lin Yun: "..."

Liu Ji: "..."

Just hearing the names makes one feel that these are all extraordinary affairs. Is it really appropriate for you to speak of them like this?

Snow Maiden glanced at Qian Qian, allowing Lin Yun to realize that this seemingly naive Snow Maiden had also grown.

Although she spoke much, she had not revealed the core secrets, merely showing off in front of Qian Qian.

Is this the battle between women?

It’s truly amusing!

Even someone as innocent as Snow Maiden had awakened to the skills of palace intrigue. It seemed the harem might become a restless place in the future.

However, the problem wasn’t too serious; as they grew, his strategies would improve as well.

"The Four Extreme Lands you mentioned, are they Great Snow Mountain, Flame Mountain, Land of Death, and Azure Dragon Island?"

These places Qian Qian mentioned were all at the borders of the Four Spirits Barrier.

Snow Maiden nodded and said, "Yes, those are the places, but it’s fine for you to go. Only I and the other three Saints cannot. However, you don’t have to worry too much about it. Take this Great Snow Mountain, for instance; probably only I can climb to the absolute peak of Snow Mountain. With me guarding it, no one else will be able to reach the summit."

As she spoke, Snow Maiden purposefully glanced at Lin Yun, worried that she had given away too much.

These thoughts were not her own but what Xuanwu had taught her.

Yet, this did not stop her from showing off her growth.

I’ve really become very smart!

If anyone calls me a muggle again, I’ll twist them up like a pretzel!

Lin Yun felt a sudden, inexplicable nervousness as he listened to Snow Maiden.

"Snow Maiden, what would be the consequences if one of the other three Saints went to the snow mountain’s peak?"

"It might destroy the Four Spirits Barrier! Then, without the protection of the Four Spirits Barrier, the Demon Race would make their comeback."

Lin Yun: "..."

He felt that something wasn’t quite right.

Seeing his concern, Snow Maiden hurriedly said, "Don’t worry. We’ve found the Reincarnation Well already, and we’ll be able to return soon. With me guarding it, no one will be able to reach the top of Snow Mountain."

"I hope so!"

Lin Yun still felt uneasy, but worrying now was useless. It was better to hurry and finish their tasks and get back quickly.

It was then that they finally turned their attention to the Minotaur, having been so engrossed in their own conversations that they had forgotten about him.

Lin Yun said with a hint of apology, "Sorry, please continue!"

The Minotaur was not annoyed, nodded, and continued with the topic from before.

"While the Reincarnation Well may not be able to offer reincarnation for all beings, if you are willing to pay the price, sending a True Spirit to rebirth is not out of the question."

These words invigorated both Liu Ji and Snow Maiden.

Lin Yun and Qian Qian, on the other hand, were contemplating the "price."

Under the Minotaur’s honest facade, Lin Yun saw his cunning slyness.

And at that very moment, at the summit of Great Snow Mountain, a green figure had already climbed to the highest point...
