The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 776 - 282 Investigation of the Seal

Yuan Zihe spoke of the events that had occurred earlier, and the expressions on Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden’s faces changed subtly.

The Snow Maiden already knew from her legacy memories that beyond Great Snow Mountain to the north lay the boundary of the Four Spirits Barrier, an important sealing site. How could anomalies suddenly appear there?

Both thought of the possibility of the seal breaking.

Lin Yun felt that the likelihood of the seal being tampered with was probably about eighty percent.

After all, only a cross-boundary force could account for his inability to contact his two female slaves.

This place was precisely within the sealed area, and the dark clouds had also come from the north. Despite his reluctance to believe it, the facts might very well be as such.

Trouble had escalated!

Nevertheless, Great Snow Mountain was still peaceful at this moment, and the sky was still blue.

Lin Yun then asked, "When did this happen?"

"I don’t know. I was encased in ice when the black clouds rolled in. Although I could see outside, I had no idea how much time had passed or how long the darkness lasted. Once the light returned, it never darkened again. It felt like a very long time had passed, and I didn’t know if I would be frozen here forever..."

Saying this, Yuan Zihe choked up again.

"That is to say, not even a day has passed since then. Even if something has happened, there is still time to respond."

The Snow Maiden somewhat relaxed, but Lin Yun shook his head.

"It might not be that simple. Perhaps a perpetual daylight phenomenon has occurred."

Lin Yun was not so optimistic. Yuan Zihe didn’t know how much time had passed, only that it had not gotten dark, which led to the assumption that only a day had passed. This line of thought was not rigorous enough.

Rejecting the Snow Maiden’s speculation, Lin Yun then patted Yuan Zihe’s shoulder and comforted her, "Don’t be too sad, it’s all in the past. I’ll take you down the mountain right away."

As he spoke, Lin Yun was about to push her away, but Yuan Zihe held him tightly, unwilling to let go, and humbly said, "Can I hold on to you a little longer? I’m cold."

Lin Yun: "..."

In fact, since the Snow Maiden appeared here, she had been controlling the temperature, so feeling cold was impossible.

Her feeling cold was an illusion.

But it was true that Lin Yun’s embrace was warm.

Helplessly, Lin Yun allowed her to hold on a little longer.

The Snow Maiden almost wished she could freeze Yuan Zihe on the spot again but ultimately refrained from acting.

Lin Yun let Yuan Zihe hold on to him while he discussed with the Snow Maiden, "I suspect there might be a problem with the seal. You take Yuan Zihe down the mountain, and I’ll go check the summit."

Lin Yun looked toward the direction further north.

Upon reaching this point, the height of Great Snow Mountain was still unknown; the end was not in sight.

At a glance, Great Snow Mountain seemed to blend into the dark clouds at the horizon, looking as if the mountain pierced the heavens itself.

Given its height, Great Snow Mountain unquestionably penetrated into the atmosphere, but whether it breached outer space remained unclear.

Lin Yun estimated probably not.

This was, after all, the Cultivation World, and what Lin Yun defined as outer space was known here as the Outer Realm. Xuanwu might not be that powerful.

"I will accompany you."

The Snow Maiden didn’t want to leave Lin Yun to venture alone, but Lin Yun waved his hand and said, "It’s more dangerous for you to go. Have you forgotten what you said?"

The Snow Maiden: "..."

The memories left by Xuanwu showed that as an inheritor like her, she absolutely must not cross the sealing site at the highest point of Great Snow Mountain.

People like Lin Yun and even Yuan Zihe could go with no issues, of course, provided they were able to reach it.

While the Snow Maiden certainly had the strength to explore, her power would resonate with the enchantment and might lead to the rupture of the seal.

This was the reason Lin Yun didn’t want her to follow. Knowing she couldn’t be willful and yet unable to put her mind at ease with Lin Yun going alone, the Snow Maiden suddenly thought of Qian Qian.

"I will ask Qian Qian to accompany you."

Only then did Lin Yun nod in agreement.

Having a God by one’s side makes one feel much more at ease.

Although this God did not seem overwhelmingly powerful, she was a genuine Divine King level deity.

"Let’s go."

The Snow Maiden, without any further explanation, pulled Yuan Zihe from Lin Yun’s embrace, and in a blink, vanished from Lin Yun’s side.

In the Great Snow Mountain, her perception was much sharper, and she quickly found Qian Qian and explained the situation. Qian Qian did not refuse the request to protect Lin Yun.

Yuan Zihe witnessed the whole process of the Snow Maiden and Qian Qian crossing space in one step, and she was dumbstruck on the spot.

Although she knew her brother was almost certain to lose in the Four Kings war, the current situation suggested the strength gap seemed somewhat too wide.

Yuan Zihe didn’t even know her brother had reached the Defiant Heavenly Realm yet, but even if she had known, it would have been of no help.

What of the Defiant Heavenly Realm?

Before a Divine Spirit, it was nothing.

Only Divine Spirits are qualified to contend with Divine Spirits.

Yuan Zihe was also questioning her life.

According to the tales passed down, the war of the Four Kings was supposed to be a battle of evenly matched opponents. Kings would have differences, but they were not supposed to be too great. Only a true King would emerge victorious from the four and ascend to become the Great Emperor.

However...

The Snow Maiden seemed even more formidable than the Great Emperor, right?

To be fair, indeed.

If we measure by the standards of the Four Kings war ten thousand years ago, the Snow Maiden, as a Divine Spirit, did indeed surpass the Great Emperor.

Considering that the Great Emperor needed the Five Elements Returning to Origin, the Great Emperor should be the one who broke through to the God Realm, which is the lowest level of the Divine Being Realm.

And the Snow Maiden, having just become a God, could already go toe-to-toe with Divine Kings. So, it was inevitable that she would eventually master the Xuanwu Divine Power and become the Divine Emperor.

However, the original Four Sacred Beasts were also contemplating competing with each other, striving to break their limits in competition. The battles of the Four Great Divine Nations during the Twilight Era of the Gods followed this pattern, and the Four Kings war could be said to have inherited the tradition of the battles of the Four Great Divine Nations.

Now that the Snow Maiden has received the entire inheritance of Xuanwu, becoming the new Xuanwu, it is very likely that the war of the Four Kings will turn into the war of the Four Spirits.

Only, some have already been eliminated.

The Snow Maiden took Yuan Zihe down the mountain, and for the moment did not notice anything unusual. She just looked toward the Great Snow Mountain with some concern, worrying that Lin Yun might encounter trouble.

At this time, Zhen Li of Cloud Dream Marsh could see the "live broadcast" again.

"Do you see how he risks his life for his subordinates, yet is unwilling to take risks for you?"

Zhen Li, upon hearing these words meant to seduce her, suddenly let out a laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing much, I’m just happy to see you’ve reverted to your old self."

"..."

What is this if not deeply insulting without causing much harm?

The intent had been to breach Zhen Li’s defenses, but it turned out that Zhen Li once again breached hers.

This was the second time she was breached today.

Although it might be due to her humanity being restored too much, while her divinity had not fully recovered, making her heart easily shaken, she had to admit, Zhen Li was truly not simple!

Deserving of being her arch-enemy.

"If all these scenes cannot incite anger, then..."

Her gaze locked onto the figure beside Lin Yun.

Qian Qian: "..."

For some reason, she suddenly felt so endangered...
