The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 768 - 276 Jade Wall
Lin Yun interacted with Canglan in his mind and, for a moment, couldn’t bring himself to make a decision.
He could tell at glance that the place where the skeleton lay must be incredibly perilous.
But fortune favors the bold, not to mention Canglan wanted the Earth Scripture, Lin Yun himself also desired it.
In the past, Yuxuan had plotted for so long just for an illusion, even betting her own life on it. Now, Lin Yun could obtain the real Earth Scripture, a method Impermanence had practically handed to Canglan on a silver platter. As for Sacred Beast Blood, not to mention two, at least one would be available.
Besides, it was possible that his own blood might be useful.
Up until now, he might not trust himself, but his blood had never let him down.
It could be said that setting out to seize the Earth Scripture, he might say he had a ninety percent chance of success.
Back when Yuxuan dared to act with a slim chance of survival, would he now retreat with a ninety percent chance?
Conveniently, the Snow Maiden and Liu Ji were also looking at him with puzzled faces.
It seemed they didn’t understand why Lin Yun would kill Meng Po so decisively—they still needed Meng Po’s help for Zhang Biyu’s reincarnation!
Although Lin Yun’s demand for Meng Po to disrobe was bizarre, it wasn’t a reason enough to kill her just to salvage his image...
In essence, they were all somewhat baffled by Lin Yun.
But with Lin Yun’s series of moves, even Liu Ji, the Demon Sect Leader, felt inferior.
When it came to the air of a villain, Lin Yun took the lead, and he absolutely acknowledged this.
As for him...
Wasn’t this a noble character?
He was, after all, the last remaining powerful male figure in this world apart from Lin Yun!
"What should we do next?"
Liu Ji didn’t question why Lin Yun had to kill Meng Po, the surviving God of the Netherworld able to open the Reincarnation Well. Presumably, Lin Yun had his reasons and, even if he didn’t, wanting to commit murder was reason enough. With the deed done, questioning him now was pointless.
It was better to focus on what to do next, at least to make the best possible effort for Zhang Biyu in the end.
Lin Yun’s favorability rose again.
Initially, he thought Liu Ji might lose control emotionally over the lost hope of Zhang Biyu’s reincarnation. If he truly acted that way, Lin Yun wouldn’t mind teaching the old-timer a lesson.
After all, Liu Ji had sized him up with a glare when they first met, and Lin Yun still held a grudge for that!
"Meng Po was lying just now. Actually, we can open the reincarnation cycle too."
Lin Yun offered an explanation for his recent actions, and that much explanation was enough.
As for how he determined Meng Po was lying and how he had obtained Divine Power, such secrets didn’t need to be revealed.
"Next, we just need to find the deepest part of the Reincarnation Well ourselves."
Lin Yun looked towards the swath of yellow mist—within the Great Mist lay the Reincarnation Well.
The most apparent danger had seemingly passed, yet Lin Yun still felt a bit uneasy.
The Minotaur and the gods of Impermanence, along with Meng Po, being more perceptive and familiar with the River of Oblivion, could set a trap in the Reincarnation Well ahead of time. Other Divine Spirits might not be as perceptive and might fail to detect their intrusion.
Previously, Yuxuan’s invasion was thwarted by Impermanence, with no other gods making an appearance.
But were Lord Yama and the other city lords really that useless?
Lin Yun didn’t believe so.
The waters of the Netherland were deep; he didn’t know if he could maintain control, and even the situation seemed too good to be true, Lin Yun began to suspect it might be orchestrated by someone high above the clouds.
But with things as they were, he only had the choice to move forward.
"Let’s go!"
Lin Yun took the lead, walking ahead with the golden flames held high, forcing the yellow mist to clear a path wherever it reached.
The avoidance instinct of these yellow mists was obviously not as good as that of the black solids, and some were burned by the flames, becoming nourishment for Lin Yun’s Fire Seed.
"Canglan, if we encounter any danger, you must protect me."
Lin Yun had discussed the terms with Canglan beforehand. Canglan, while chewing on a bull’s horn, nodded frantically.
"Don’t worry, I will recover soon."
Once she finished gnawing on the three lifebound divine items, it would be enough to let the Divine Country revive by leveraging the fate absorbed from the Netherland. With the revival of the Divine Country, she too would be restored.
Although complete digestion would take some time, providing Lin Yun with some combat power was not a problem.
Seeing her eat so heartily also eased much of Lin Yun’s tension, only making him feel a bit hungry.
Of course, he didn’t truly feel hunger; it was purely out of craving.
Canglan was so engrossed in eating, it was quite cute, maybe she should just rename herself Hamster.
Lin Yun silently scoffed in his mind and continued leading the group forward.
Along the way, they did not encounter any danger.
There were no living people, and no ghosts either.
In fact, the Reincarnation Well did not have the presence of other people, gods, or ghosts, nor would anyone lay traps here. The greatest danger in the Reincarnation Well was this yellow mist, which could plunge people into madness.
These yellow mists were the most dangerous things here. With this layer of yellow mist, there naturally wouldn’t be any other dangers.
Coincidentally, Lin Yun had a way to temporarily dispel the yellow mist and prevent it from getting close, which was equivalent to having no dangers at all.
Therefore, Lin Yun led the group smoothly, but finding the location of the Earth Scripture was not that simple.
The Reincarnation Well was too vast. Despite the clear path, it still took Lin Yun some time to find the entrance.
Finally, at the very center of the Reincarnation Well, he saw a giant jade wall, similar to the one Canglan had shown him before.
However, this huge jade wall did not have a skeleton leaning against it.
Had someone taken the corpse of the Lord of the Netherworld?
Only those three gods could have come here. Canglan had devoured them, which was equivalent to subjecting them to a gruesome and malicious spell like Soul Search. Everything they knew, Canglan would also know. In the memories of those three gods, there was no part about taking away the corpse of the Lord of the Netherworld.
Perhaps there was more than one jade wall here. Lin Yun squatted down and observed it carefully. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Looking at the complex patterns on the jade wall, he suddenly noticed that it seemed to be missing a piece in the middle.
The image Canglan had shared with him was partially obscured by the bones of the Lord of the Netherworld, so Lin Yun couldn’t see it very clearly. Now, noticing the jade wall missing a piece, Lin Yun felt extremely unsettled, as if a cat was scratching his heart.
He was not obsessive-compulsive; it was just that this missing piece seemed to be greatly related to him—he felt as though he had touched an item closely connected to his destiny.
The feeling of unveiling part of the mystery yet being unable to see it clearly was what made him most uncomfortable.
Of course, there was also an advantage.
Lin Yun felt his cultivation level had increased out of thin air, taking another step toward the Enlightened Realm.
"This item is useful to me, Snow Maiden, lend me a hand."
Lin Yun intended to move the entire jade wall, but it was heavier than he expected. He exerted all his strength yet could not make the jade wall budge even slightly.
Snow Maiden then passed the lotus she always protected to Liu Ji for temporary safekeeping and reached out to grab the jade wall.
As soon as she touched it, the jade wall emitted a faint green light. The complex yet meaningless patterns flickered with streamers of light, and upon the jade wall, the faint outlines of a Xuanwu and an Azure Dragon began to emerge.
At the same time, an indistinct door appeared before everyone. Qian Qian and Liu Ji still had a choice, but Lin Yun and Snow Maiden were instantly sucked in...
