The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 863 - 369: The Arrangement of Fate

The image of the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor appeared only for an instant, and the Causal Technique also came to an end. Qing Nu was greatly shaken; she couldn’t understand why she would see the fifth sister at the end.

After she was sealed, she also had a period of slumber.

It was during this time of slumber that she discovered that the other four gods had all vanished.

After a long wait, she found the remnants left by Zhen Li; the others were nowhere to be found.

Many more years passed before she detected a trace of Lin Yun on Dongfang Yao, but when she found Dongfang Yao, she realized that although he carried a trace of Lin Yun’s aura, he was not Lin Yun.

During this time, an unexpected event occurred; she saw the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor’s Jade Pendant on Dongfang Yao. Unable to restrain herself, she harshly interrogated Dongfang Yao, but Dongfang Yao refused to confess how he came upon Lin Yun’s aura and also refused to reveal where he found the jade pendant.

At that time, her Divine Power had not recovered much, and Dongfang Yao managed to escape from her with the help of the Heavenly Mandate Water-Fire Twin Dragons Gold-Inlaid Jade Pendant. Afterwards, he eluded her pursuit.

Looking back, it must have been destiny intervening at that moment.

Now, seeing the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor in the midst of the Great Karmic Technique, Qing Nu couldn’t understand it.

If it was because of that jade pendant, it would ultimately only trace back to the jade pendant itself; the causality would not fall upon the Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor.

Unless...

This jade pendant was intentionally given away by her.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. Lin Yun has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.

Through the Causal Technique, Qing Nu also discerned the cause.

It was destiny and Dongfang Yao, together with the Earth Scripture, casting the Life-Stealing Technique.

They wanted Dongfang Yao to replace Lin Yun.

Everything was planned in advance. More than ten years ago, Dongfang Yao reincarnated and descended to White Tiger Ridge. Under the arrangement of destiny, Lin Yu found him and named him Lin Yun.

This was laying the groundwork for future events.

Back then, Lin Yun didn’t know his own origins and followed the trajectory that had been set for him until Lin Yun appeared. Destiny arranged for him to implant the memory imprint in Lin Yun, allowing the subsequent Lin Yun to take over his identity, and then he was burned to ashes.

This move was indeed treacherous; after traversing time and space, Lin Yun also believed he had occupied someone else’s body.

Fortunately, there was a slight mishap in destiny’s calculations. At the Secret Realm of Mountain and Sea Pass, Lin Yun captured a fragment of the Heavenly Book, which was destiny’s original form.

Without the Heavenly Book under the control of destiny, Lin Yun managed to discipline it, forcing it to trace back to the past, and at that point, Lin Yun realized he was not the original Lin Yun.

Had it not been for this, Dongfang Yao’s plan to steal life could have started long ago.

Up to this point, destiny’s arrangements could be said to have fallen short of success, but he and Dongfang Yao had not given up and arranged for another opportunity where Lin Yun and Dongfang Yao’s destinies overlapped.

Only when the two destinies overlapped could they carry out the Life-Stealing Technique.

That chaos of sun and moon shining together in the disarray of time-space was jointly cast by Dongfang Yao and Su’e, in alliance with destiny. Both Dongfang Yao and Su’e had joined under destiny’s command, and as the twin gods of sun and moon, they already had insights into the Space-Time Dao. With destiny’s help, they successfully trapped Lin Yun in the disarray of time-space.

Then, a sword, with Lin Yun in tow, traveled through time, returning to the past.

This was still to allow Lin Yun to take over the body of Dongfang Yao, to occupy Dongfang Yao’s Life Pattern.

This was to make Lin Yun indebted to Dongfang Yao in terms of fate; now Dongfang Yao naturally could come to collect the debt.

If things were to progress naturally, Lin Yun would inevitably steal Dongfang Yao’s destiny and replace him.

However, when Lin Yun set off for the Outer Realm, he encountered Tai Bai and landed on the moon, where he met Qing Nu. Only then did he suddenly awaken from his traversal through time-space; he had not truly taken over Dongfang Yao’s destiny, and now it would be even harder for Dongfang Yao to steal Lin Yun’s fate.

Despite Lin Yun having dissolved two fatal crises intangibly, his fate still became entwined with that of Dongfang Yao. Fate and Earth Scripture exerted their divine powers again, connecting the past and the present intertwining points. Relying on these two points, Lin Yun’s and Dongfang Yao’s fates were forcibly brought together.

They were not exchanging fates now, but one was forcefully occupying the fate of the other.

And currently, fate was still on Dongfang Yao’s side; Lin Yun had not yet recovered his strength, and the situation was fraught with more peril than hope.

Had it not been for his overwhelming destiny, he would have been replaced already.

"Very well, dare to mess with my man right under my watch, you all can go to hell!"

Qing Nu’s body burst forth with streaks of azure qi, and as she exerted her divine power with all her might, the sealing forces also began to fluctuate. Flames scorched her tail, iron chains tightly bound her body, and stone pillars towered like mountains, looking to suppress her...

Regardless of everything, Qing Nu finally condensed a phantom body entirely composed of azure divine power.

With a single thought, Qing Nu descended upon the Mortal Realm.

In the Mortal Realm, she also had an avatar, which was Xiao Qing.

Ever since Xiao Qing had left her master, she had been cultivating. Her mind was filled with knowledge, and she progressed swiftly in practicing the Dragon Transformation Scripture—she was now a Divine Dragon.

As Qing Nu descended, Xiao Qing instantly transformed into the body of an Azure Dragon. Her dragon form grew rapidly before the naked eye, soaring into the skies, almost large enough to obscure all of Great Qin.

All the mortals and cultivators in Great Qin, including the gods practicing on Purple Cloud Mountain, were dumbstruck.

Is this the Azure Dragon?

Such a gigantic Azure Dragon?

Goodness me, even the original Azure Dragon wasn’t this powerful, right?

Suddenly, a dragon’s roar resounded, causing heaven and earth to seemingly tremble.

This roar even pierced through the endless starry sky, chilling Earth Scripture to the bone upon hearing it.

The Life-Stealing was about to succeed, but then a dragon’s roar was heard—it was not a good omen.

However, its fear could not change the outcome. The next second, it witnessed a colossal Azure Dragon taking flight, crossing the moon, and heading straight for Heavenly Mandate Star.

"How does she know we are here!"

Earth Scripture was thrown into complete panic—though Qing Nu was confined, her Divine Might persisted, and she could certainly tear apart a scripture without issue.

A heavy voice emerged from within the Heavenly Mandate Star: "Rest assured, everything is under control. If she wants to come here, she would have to slaughter countless Heavenly Souls that span from ancient times to the present. With such an immense karmic force, it is not something she can bear now; she dares not to come!"

Earth Scripture: "..."

Elder Brother Heavenly Book is the harsh one!

Mortals are born, Heavenly Souls return to heaven, and Earthly Souls return to earth.

The heaven where the Heavenly Souls reside is the Heavenly Mandate Star.

Since ancient times, there have been few mortals that have cultivated to the Enlightened Realm, so few as to be almost negligible. Those who have not reached the Celestial Knowing Realm, their Heavenly Souls have remained on the Heavenly Mandate Star.

Theoretically, they should disperse and fall into Netherworld, but Heavenly Mandate Star’s powerful forces have confined these Heavenly Souls at the periphery of the star.

For Qing Nu to come over, she would inevitably have to assault these Heavenly Souls.

Fate, this old schemer, how long has he been planning for today?
