The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 859 - 365: Is Tai Bai Dead?

People’s joys and sorrows are not connected; Dongfang Yao just felt that the Earth Scripture was a nuisance.

Laugh, laugh for what?

He now wanted to cry.

His relationship with Su’e was very peculiar. They could be considered arch-enemies, but Dongfang Yao once believed that Su’e must have liked him.

Otherwise, why would she agree immediately when he proposed that they create a child together?

Though in the end, they didn’t develop the kind of bond that mortals have, Dongfang Yao thought it was because of a tacit understanding unique to Divine Spirits.

Among Divine Spirits, spiritual connection is sufficient.

Who would have thought that one day even Su’e would...

Perhaps, it was not just for one day.

Dongfang Yao was mentally crumbling.

"When did this happen?"

"Just recently, not long ago."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

He remembered.

Previously, when a crescent mark appeared on Dongfang Hongyue’s brow, he recognized it at once—it was Su’e’s power.

Thinking that Su’e might have gone to Yama Hall soon after, to his Yama Hall, to be with Lin Yun...

"Ah!"

Dongfang Yao let out a skyward howl, his voice filled with grief and indignation.

At first, the Earth Scripture did not understand, but now it was starting to get the picture.

Goodness, could it be that Dongfang Yao liked Su’e?

Speaking of which, the Sun and Moon Twin Gods did have a bit of synergy, choosing the same day to act, having prepared for so long, only to end in failure...

Considering that, the one who ended up the worst off was actually Dongfang Yao.

The Earth Scripture might not be human, but it could understand human emotions.

Dongfang Yao was truly miserable.

Fortunately, Su’e did not like Dongfang Yao; if she had, it would have been even worse.

Tsk tsk tsk...

The Earth Scripture relished the drama and then began to advise Dongfang Yao to escape.

"Where there is life, there is hope. I know you are suffering, but life, well, it always moves forward. Moreover, if you really care about her that much, with what has happened, I think you can forgive her; after all, she was forced into it."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

He really wanted to burn the Earth Scripture, but he still relied on its powers and had no choice but to endure.

"I will not run away. A hundred thousand years of waiting, just for this outcome, I will not accept it."

"Then shall I leave?"

The Earth Scripture was not about to die with Dongfang Yao.

"Wait."

Dongfang Yao quickly grabbed hold of the Earth Scripture; he had not planned on confronting Lin Yun so early had it not been for the Earth Scripture.

"As long as you’re willing to help me, I have a way to remove Lin Yun, and then even the one in the heavens will be nothing to fear."

"Where do you get your courage?"

The Earth Scripture was puzzled.

Right now, Dongfang Yao dared not even bring up Qing Nu’s name, yet he claimed that with its help, he had no fear of the one above.

Goodness, when did I become so capable?

"I’ve already got Lin Yun’s lifeline in my grip, plus this Jade Pendant and your help; naturally, I can replace him..."

Dongfang Yao took out a beautifully crafted jade pendant. On closer inspection, it was a ring formed by two intertwining dragons that seemed to be always in motion, yet at first glance, appeared to be still.

Earth Scripture was startled upon seeing the jade pendant.

This jade pendant was also a Chaos Divine Artifact. Given Earth Scripture’s status, he shouldn’t care about it.

However, the "Heavenly Mandate Water-Fire Twin Dragons Gold-Inlaid Jade" was not an ordinary Chaos Divine Artifact—it was the personal jade pendant of Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor, an Innate God.

Back when the four gods were constructing the cycle of reincarnation, Earth Scripture had briefly touched it and thus naturally deduced the origin of the pendant.

This jade pendant was an accompanying object of Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor’s birth.

Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor was the last Heavenly Emperor to be born among the Five Great Innate Spirits. When he was born, the other four gods used their own power to help him refine this accompanying jade pendant.

Many Divine Artifacts were born from Chaos, but only this accompanying treasure jade was a combination of the Five Innate Spirits’ powers.

With Bai Yu as the base, it was the Innate Soil bestowed by Mother Earth; the twin dragons of water and fire were the sources of Divine Power condensed by the water and fire deities respectively; the gold wire border was the Innate Gold naturally accompanying Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor’s own birth; and the tassels wrapped around the pendant were made from the branches plucked from the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood itself.

Moreover, when the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor was born, the four gods captured the essence of Chaos and merged it into the pendant, hence its lengthy name.

Tai Bai could be said to be the most favored among the Five Great Spirits; just born, and the other four gods had decided: "My sister Tai Bai has the qualifications of a Heavenly Emperor."

This jade pendant was extremely important to Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor. With what Earth Scripture knew about him, this object was treated as even more important than his own life. How could it have ended up in Dongfang Yao’s hands?

Earth Scripture finally understood why Qing Nu fiercely attacked Dongfang Yao after he acquired the pendant.

The loss of a jade pendant treasured by Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor suggested that Tai Bai was close to...

As the Five Great Innate Spirits, they stood at the very peak of the entire world, but from what is known now, Qing Nu was sealed; Mother Earth entered the cycle of reincarnation; Ancestor of the Fire Spirit’s identity was unclear between Dongfang Yao and Lin Yun, meaning equivalent to being dead.

Now, there was a matter with Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor...

There has been no news from Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood to this day; Earth Scripture thought they had gone to open up new realms, but Dongfang Yao found Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor’s personal jade pendant in the Outer Realm...

This... did it mean Tai Bai was in peril, and how far could Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood be?

Could the five gods, in the beginning, end up with only Qing Nu remaining?

Even Qing Nu was half-mad and half-sealed.

Earth Scripture felt his scalp tingle—not that he had a scalp, but that kind of horrifying feeling was lingering in his heart.

Although he had always aspired to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Five Great Spirits, knowing that they seemed to have met with grim fates, he couldn’t help feeling fearful.

Could it be that reaching that high level, one’s later years are marked by misfortune?

"Do I have a chance to win with this jade pendant?"

Dongfang Yao, seeing Earth Scripture silent for so long, thought he was awed by the pendant and couldn’t help feeling a sense of exultation.

"What do you want to do?"

Earth Scripture gave up the idea of fleeing.

If his speculation was correct and only Qing Nu remained of the Five Great Innate Spirits, then he had nowhere to run.

Rather than waiting to die, it was better to fight with all his might.

Even if that supreme realm might entail misfortune, it was still what he always longed for.

"I need your Power of Reincarnation."

Dongfang Yao directly stated his plan: "This jade pendant, since the inclusion of the Power of Heavenly Mandate, and with the mutual aid of water and fire, having all Five Elements, has gained new abilities. With it, I can steal Lin Yun’s Life Pattern..."

"Steal... destiny..."

Earth Scripture had never heard of this saying, but behind Dongfang Yao stood fate, so perhaps he could succeed.

"I’ll trust you this once, but after you’ve stolen Lin Yun’s Life Pattern, remember to share half of the destiny with me."

"Deal!"

Earth Scripture and Dongfang Yao reached a consensus.

At this time, Lin Yun and Dongfang Hongyue were on their way to Wugui City.

He remembered that on the way there was the soul of the original Lin Yun, that is, Dongfang Yao, who was waiting on this road for Dongfang Hongyue.

However, Lin Yun had traveled all the way to Wugui City without seeing any trace of Dongfang Yao.

Lin Yun had anticipated that the future had changed; since Dongfang Yao still had an identity, he must have made other arrangements.

His only concern was to retrieve Dongfang Hongyue’s Earthly Soul.

Upon entering Wugui City, Lin Yun found that the changes were somewhat large—the river of blood had disappeared, and Dongfang Ming was lying limp on the ground, dead or alive unknown, and the whereabouts of Dongfang Hongyue’s Earthly Soul were also a mystery...
