The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 870 - 376 I Changed, You Didn’t

Even though she had already seen through Tai Bai’s conspiracies and schemes, Qing Nu still let her guard down.

Sure enough, those who understand her best are the ones most capable of hurting her.

But if she got angry, she would lose.

In her lifetime, she was never weaker than anyone else, not even when she was outsmarted by the third sibling. She didn’t think she had lost.

At this moment, Qing Nu couldn’t possibly show any weakness.

"Tai Bai, after such a long time, neither your selfish nature nor your hatred towards me has changed in the slightest."

Enraged, Qing Nu’s voice, paradoxically, softened.

Tai Bai sneered in response, "Sister, it’s really interesting to hear you say that. Have you changed, then?"

"Yes, I have changed."

Qing Nu calmly admitted to her changes. She indifferently said, "You’re right, when the world was about to end, Ah Yun didn’t believe in me, and indeed I was angry. I blamed him, resented him, hated him, but I still loved him, and now I can even understand him.

I wanted his unconditional trust in me, and perhaps he had given it, trusting the real me, not the Sinful Blood. So he mistakenly thought I was corrupted and out of control by the Sinful Blood and chose to seal me away, hoping that one day I would recover.

He constructed the cycle of reincarnation, revived the Heavenly Dao, and destroyed all of my hard work, continuing a disaster that should have ended millions of years ago to this day, all because every creature in this world is one he and I created together."

"You really are an optimist!"

Listening to Qing Nu talk about these things, Tai Bai’s expression slowly contorted, incapable of refuting, her words of attack were one by one invalidated by Qing Nu, igniting a fire in Tai Bai’s heart.

"It’s not optimism, but rather, I’m fortunate to have glimpsed some of the truth."

Qing Nu calmly looked at Tai Bai, confidently saying, "If I’m not mistaken, the Sun itself is transformed by Ah Yun. I thought he had left me alone, but in reality, he has always been by my side. Despite thinking that I had committed unforgivable sins, he still believed in my innocence, and it was still his love for me that made him choose to watch over me.

This is what you can’t ever envy, no matter how well you disguise yourself; he could never love you."

"Have you said enough!"

Unable to restrain herself, Tai Bai threw a punch at Qing Nu. Sword Qi pierced through Qing Nu’s chest, leaving behind a wound.

Qing Nu, on the contrary, smiled.

Seeing Tai Bai’s frantic and exasperated demeanor, she felt genuine pleasure from within.

"I remain his only wife, married in official ceremony, whether in the past, present, or future, I’ve always been his first wife..."

"Heh, then just watch from heaven, watch how I obtain all the origins, and see how we will be lovingly entwined. You just keep crying on the moon!"

Tai Bai totally lost her composure, intending to humiliate Qing Nu one last time, but instead, she got humiliated herself.

She reached out to grab Qing Nu’s chest, ready to seize her origin.

This was the most difficult step in her plan to become Emperor; Qing Nu was the strongest, and if she could deal with Qing Nu, everyone else was negligible.

She had already verified it multiple times; by uniting the Five Spirits, one must transcend.

The Innate Gods were not the end of the Great Dao but the beginning of their paths.

But all her elder sisters were content with the status quo, none of them seeking a higher realm. So they squandered time, and indeed, they eventually faced a catastrophic end.

Tai Bai wouldn’t kill Qing Nu; she would lay low this arrogant elder sister to let her see how she became the Heavenly Emperor!

However, as her Divine Power probed within Qing Nu, feeling the empty origin within Qing Nu’s body, Tai Bai froze.

"Where is your origin?"

"With your plans all known, how could I leave it for you?"

Qing Nu sneered in disdain; as an Innate Divine Spirit and the strongest among them, she was not as mighty as she once was, yet her fate was not something to be arranged by others.

When Qing Nu decided to take action, she had already calculated the cause and effect. This was precisely why she chose to descend to the Mortal Realm and inhabit Xiao Qing’s body.

Xiao Qing was originally her avatar, naturally capable of bearing her fundamental power.

By occupying Xiao Qing’s body, she transferred all her essence to her. And with Xiao Qing by Lin Yun’s side, giving her essence to Xiao Qing was tantamount to giving it to Lin Yun.

Tai Bai was furious; she hadn’t expected that despite her lengthy calculations, there had been an oversight. What she thought was hers to claim had been preemptively shifted by Qing Nu. In her rage, Tai Bai wished she could kill Qing Nu there and then.

"You truly are bold, to give away all your essence based on some unfounded conjectures," Tai Bai said, forcing herself to appear calm. "Do you trust Lin Yun that much?"

"I believe you will certainly not be able to defeat him."

Qing Nu’s confidence and composure only served to provoke Tai Bai, who cast several slashes of Sword Qi at her.

But these Sword Qi were not enough to kill Qing Nu, they were merely Tai Bai venting her frustration.

"Lin Yun knows nothing. On what basis do you think he can win?"

"He definitely can."

Qing Nu’s blind confidence completely infuriated Tai Bai.

"Just wait and watch here, I assure you, this time he will still disappoint you!"

Tai Bai’s Divine Power erupted in her hands; the chains binding Qing Nu suddenly shone with an intense divine light, dragging Qing Nu deep into the ground.

Then, the soil from where Qing Nu stood surged rapidly, burying her, making it difficult for Lin Yun, should he sense something amiss and decide to return to inquire, to find her again.

Tai Bai was certain Qing Nu had said nothing to Lin Yun – clearly, before she revealed herself, Qing Nu had not been fully confident; her bestowal of her essence was surely a gamble on her part.

And she gambled right.

She must not have told Lin Yun her suspicions; hence, the Lin Yun of now remained entirely ignorant of her.

Calm returned to the moon above; Tai Bai, after acting, vanished into dust over the moon, leaving nothing behind but the hole dug out by Lin Yun and the surviving figurines.

At this moment, Lin Yun had entered the Land of the Desolate Ruins.

He now possessed the ability of divine beings, the surging Sun God Divine Power within him was more vast than Dongfang Yao’s had ever been, giving him the confidence to venture alone into the Land of the Desolate Ruins.

Although he had once made an alliance with the Tai Bai Divine Emperor, his subsequent disappearance had been too prolonged. It was hard to guarantee that Tai Bai wouldn’t harbor second thoughts. Moreover, with Canglan’s return, the void within The Four Great Divine Nations had been filled; the situation was no longer about merely adding another Divine Spirit.

Without his newly acquired Divine Power, Lin Yun wouldn’t dare to come here alone.

By a twist of fate, just as Lin Yun arrived near the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, The Four Great Divine Nations were coincidentally holding a summit. Four columns of light connected The Four Great Divine Nations, creating a remarkably intricate Formation, preventing Lin Yun from approaching or even clearly seeing what was happening within the columns of light.

Unless he destroyed the Formation.

But he was there to seek help. If he attacked before meeting them, such impolite behavior might earn their disdain.

Moreover, Lin Yun’s powerful strength, though manageable, wasn’t something he could wield perfectly at will. Given the destructive nature of the Sun God Divine Power, Lin Yun feared the havoc he could wreak might far exceed his expectations.

And so, all that was left for him was to wait.

This was no different from his previous quest to find the truth.

"Have I been set up again?"

Lin Yun muttered to himself. The Earth Scripture within him sensed his discontent and quickly offered soothing words, "Maybe... it’s just a coincidence? How could fate have the ability to arrange things for you?"

"That’s true. The Heavenly Book once looked at my fate and got it all wrong."

Lin Yun, reminiscing about the Heavenly Book, suddenly realized what he had overlooked before.

"If he had the Heavenly Book, he could have kept consulting it for divination at this time and would surely have known more information.

Unfortunately, due to a whim at the time, he let the Heavenly Book slip away.

Now, trying to find it again is likely not going to be so easy.

Firstly, the Book Immortal is old and wise, knowing to avoid him, and secondly, due to fate meddling, whatever Lin Yun tries to do gets complicated.

In that case, it might be better to just wait in the Land of the Desolate Ruins.

But repeated failures to accomplish his tasks made Lin Yun worry whether there would be severe consequences if he didn’t manage to do something within a set time.

Such a dilemma left Lin Yun somewhat perturbed.

The fluctuations in Lin Yun’s emotions also reflected in his inner world.

Waves surged in the Spirit Liquid Sea, with Xiao Qing floating and sinking within.

The golden Fire Seed flickered and swayed, and the Earth Scripture shivered in the distance.

Judging from Lin Yun’s emotional responses, the situation seemed grim. The Earth Scripture suddenly realized that it might have picked the wrong ally again.

Not that it had a choice, having fallen into Lin Yun’s hands meant defiance would lead to a dead end.

But now that Lin Yun appeared to be at a loss, the Earth Scripture couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, wondering if it was cursed with bad luck in choosing sides.

"Take me to the Outer Realm!"

Lin Yun looked at the entangled four-colored light columns within the Desolate Ruins and finally made a bold decision.

Hearing this command, the Earth Scripture was completely flustered.

"The Outer Realm is very dangerous! Great God, please don’t be impulsive, you have not fully recovered yet, and even for you, going to the Outer Realm is a perilous risk!"

The Earth Scripture wasn’t really loyal; it was afraid that should Lin Yun face danger, he would kill it first to vent his frustration.

It had no doubt that Lin Yun would do such an inhumane thing.

And in the Outer Realm, it could provide very limited help to Lin Yun; even fleeing would be difficult.

Seeing the Earth Scripture’s attitude, Lin Yun had a rough estimate in his mind.

But heading to the Outer Realm for investigation might be the only thing he could do at the moment.

"I am no great god, nor am I impulsive; you just need to tell me if you can take me to the Outer Realm or not."

"..."

The Earth Scripture sensed the threat in his words.

In his current unstable state, if it did not comply with Lin Yun’s wishes, it feared that Lin Yun might set it ablaze in anger.

So be it, going to the Outer Realm might not lead to certain death, but resistance would definitely lead to it; might as well go to the Outer Realm then! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I can."

"Then let’s go."

With no other choice, the Earth Scripture once again cast a spell to envelop Lin Yun, and with a surge of ripples, they departed from the Land of the Desolate Ruins and appeared in the vast cosmos.

The Earth Scripture’s teleportation magic could bypass the moon, that gateway, and directly enter the true Outer Realm.

This was also something Dongfang Yao relied on.

Without the Earth Scripture giving him a lift, he would have had no means to break through the moon and reach the Heavenly Mandate Star.

Brazenly passing through the moon, Qing Nu would definitely intercept him.

Now, the Earth Scripture didn’t have to worry about this aspect, but when it wanted to conserve energy to send Lin Yun via the moon route, it inexplicably felt a sense of unease, as if something horrific was about to happen.

As a divine object of heaven and earth, the Earth Scripture’s sense of crisis was very accurate.

The danger that could be sensed even within Lin Yun’s body must certainly be terrifying.

If it’s already dangerous before leaving the Inner Domain, how difficult must the Outer Realm be...

The Earth Scripture grew panicked.

However, upon reaching the Outer Realm, Lin Yun was filled with curiosity.

Watching the stars in the cosmos was a special experience, but if he hadn’t reached the Divine Emperor level of power, being here would have endangered his life.

In weightlessness, without the supply of Spiritual Power, only a god could traverse the cosmos.

Lin Yun once had the chance to explore the Outer Realm while traveling through space and time, but unfortunately, it was cut short on the moon. This was his first visit to the Outer Realm.

"Not good, there are scattered traces of Chaos Qi!"

Right upon arrival in the Outer Realm, the Earth Scripture started to be on alert. Fortunately, Lin Yun hadn’t blocked out its external senses, to allow the Earth Scripture to exercise its initiative and help out when it deems fit.

The Earth Scripture conscientiously acted as a guardian, sensing the Chaos Qi even before Lin Yun.

Because it felt danger.

Yet, Lin Yun held no fear towards the Chaos Qi; when he was just a drop of blood within Dongfang Yao, he had already devoured a considerable amount of Chaos energy, and now he had completely devoured Dongfang Yao, even though they had not contacted, Lin Yun came to this conclusion.

So naturally, he had no reason to fear the Chaos Qi.

Not retreating, he instead moved forward to take a small sip for a taste.

Seeing Lin Yun engaging in such a risky act, the Earth Scripture was dumbfounded.

Why would you inhale anything but Chaos Qi, which could destroy worlds?

However, once the Chaos Qi entered Lin Yun’s body, it did not harm him as the Earth Scripture had presumed; rather, it quickly transferred to the Dantian, where the Fire Lotus burned it away.

Such powerful fire...

He was neither at the level of the Ancestor of the Fire Spirit nor did he possess its origin; how did he manage this?

The Earth Scripture began to doubt life for a moment.

And after the Chaos Qi was burned away, it didn’t vanish into nothing; the Earth Scripture could sense that the space it resided in had expanded a bit.

Was he using the power of Chaos to create worlds?

Was this the capacity for creation possessed by a great god?

Truly terrifying indeed!

Although the Earth Scripture was baffled by Lin Yun’s actions, it was greatly shaken.

Seeing how easily the Chaos Qi was devoured, Lin Yun naturally had no more hesitations and began to inhale large amounts of Chaos Qi into his body.

Following the Chaos Qi, he soon saw a piece of land that looked like a shattered island.

To see such a land here, surrounded by dense Chaos Qi, Lin Yun became excited as well. At least, he now had a different kind of gain.

Without hesitation, he flew directly toward the piece of land.

The Earth Scripture: "..."

How can he be so rash?
