The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 129: This Cultivation World Is Really Small
After opening Lin Yun’s clothes, Lin Yu also felt embarrassed.
This...
Where’s the birthmark?
Lin Yun’s name, appearance, and experiences all matched up; there was no mistake, she was indeed my foster child. But why had the birthmark on the chest disappeared?
"Could it be that during your cultivation, you deliberately erased that birthmark?"
Lin Yu considered this possibility but then she talked to herself, "That’s not possible either. To do something like that, you would at least need to be at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and you’ve only cultivated for three years. It couldn’t have been so fast."
Naturally, a birthmark is essentially just a blood stain, although there are legends about ancient sages who were born with the Azure Dragon on the left, the White Tiger on the right, standing on Seven Stars, or carrying the mark of a Qilin, and so on.
But Lin Yu didn’t believe such tales at all. She had even seen a fellow disciple from the Sword Sect born with a sword-shaped birthmark on his forehead. That guy always thought he was extremely talented and had a divine aptitude for the Sword Dao, but, by accident, during his Mortal Transcendence Stage breakthrough, while trying to adjust his own vital energy, he ended up erasing his birthmark.
From then on, the Sword Sect had one more person with a closed-off personality, proving that a birthmark is just a birthmark, nothing special.
Moreover, once someone reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can control their own vital energy, so cultivators above Foundation Establishment generally are not ugly, as whiteness covers all flaws.
"Er, I’ve actually started Divine Cultivation now."
Lin Yun provided a brief explanation.
"God Storing, eh? God Storing won’t do it either."
Lin Yu replied subconsciously and then, after speaking, suddenly realized the implication, looking at Lin Yun with a face full of shock.
This person...
Could it really not be my son?
How could there be someone who reached the Divine Cultivation Realm in just three years? No matter how talented and smart, it’s impossible!
She herself was once a prodigy, and it took her thirty years to go from Qi Cultivation to Divine Cultivation. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
That was already quite fast; Baili Shouxin took sixty years.
So much so that she had eventually surpassed him in cultivation level.
Qi Cultivation and God Storing are stages that require time to accumulate. It just so happens that those with better aptitude have more effective Qi Cultivation, possibly ten times or twenty times better, but it still requires time to endure.
A person’s body has limits; Qi Cultivation is actually a process of constant nurturing of the meridians with Spiritual Energy and expanding the meridians. Only in this way can a solid foundation be laid.
For Lin Yun to reach the Divine Cultivation Realm in three years was so exaggerated it shattered Lin Yu’s understanding.
However, she didn’t know that, in fact, Lin Yun hadn’t even started in the first three years. It was before his dual cultivation with Dongfang Hongyu, when he absorbed the Spiritual Power from two pieces of the Icy Ghostly Spring.
Normally, if a body suddenly absorbs too much external Spiritual Energy and doesn’t refine it, that energy amounts to nothing. However, the twist was that both he and Dongfang Hongyu possessed innate fiery energy. Their breath exchanges were like a furnace, devouring and refining all that Spiritual Energy.
Not only that, but Lin Yun’s Divine Soul and physique were essentially irrigated by Dongfang Hongyu; after being scorched by intense fire, combined with the mutual enhancement of their Immortal Bodies, he directly leveled up to the Mortal Transcendence Realm in one go.
The most time-consuming stages, Lin Yun had skipped through them like using a cheat code. The remaining Heart Guarding Realm and Celestial Knowing Realm – with the right opportunities, breakthroughs might occur at any time.
Lin Yu’s view of the world was suddenly turned upside down.
Could it be that what I’ve practiced was actually fake immortality?
All sorts of thoughts were wildly colliding in her head. In this short period today, she had been struck by numerous revelations.
After being shocked for a while, she then joyfully said, "So does that mean you erased the birthmark yourself?"
No matter how Lin Yun managed to break through to the Divine Cultivation Realm, as long as he now possessed that cultivation level, it was his good fortune, and there was no need to dwell on it any longer.
As long as it could be proven that he was her child, that would suffice.
However...
"Actually, I don’t have one."
Lin Yun was certain; right after his rebirth, he had thoroughly checked his body. He was much whiter than before, and his face looked somewhat different from his past self, apparently younger with the addition of skin smoothing filters, slimming, muscle...
In short, a plethora of tiny details were added.
As for the chest, there definitely hadn’t been a birthmark there at that time.
Lin Yu once again doubted her life.
Now, she was 90% certain that Lin Yun was her adopted son; the name, appearance, and the general experiences matched very well.
But Lin Yu came up with an outlandish hypothesis.
Back in the day, Lin Yun was actually a twin, with a twin brother or sister, and coincidentally, both had the same name Lin Yun, both happened to join the Sword Sect, and both just happened to be sent to the Demon Sect as undercover agents.
If such a plot were true, she would vomit blood, but on second thought, it wasn’t entirely impossible.
Since Lin Yun had been abandoned near the Sword Sect, it suggested his parents were also locals, joining the Sword Sect, only to be cast out due to the sect’s jealousy and resentment towards the talented, was reasonable.
Oh no... Lin Yu became utterly confused.
The crux of the matter was that Lin Yun couldn’t remember his past; otherwise, why would she need to guess so much.
For a moment, Lin Yu was on the verge of shutting herself down completely.
She once thought her child had come back, and she could die in peace, but now she couldn’t even pass away with ease.
Lin Yun was also very troubled; he didn’t know whether this person was the original Lin Yun’s young mother, and he didn’t really want an additional relative, given the lack of emotional foundation.
Although Lin Yun was a bit of a scoundrel, he was still human after all.
Taking over the body of the original Lin Yun, he couldn’t exactly fulfill filial duties to him, but at the very least, he had to do something, and couldn’t just sever his relationships decisively.
This really gave him a headache.
In the silent moment between them, the door that had been closed suddenly "squeaked" open.
"Master! I’m back..."
Lin Yun heard a somewhat familiar voice and turned around to see, indeed, a familiar face.
Well, the Cultivation World is really small.
The person was none other than Wang Wanqiu. Despite not having to go on a mission, Wang Wanqiu’s attire still made it difficult to distinguish her gender.
Well, I suddenly understand why the women in the Cultivation World generally have modest bosoms.
It’s quite convenient for disguise!
Looking at many sects, only the Shenxiao Sect differs from the others.
It must be because of the nurturing lands and waters of the Shenxiao Sect.
At this time, Lin Yun’s mind was filled with all sorts of strange thoughts, and the expression on Wang Wanqiu’s face became quite animated upon seeing Lin Yun.
Once, a cooked duck stood before her, and she let that duck fly away.
But unexpectedly, that duck had now returned.
When they last parted in Cold Moon City, it had only been a few days ago, but unlike those who flew here and there, she had traveled the entire way by herself, taking several days. She hadn’t even gone up the mountain before coming to see Lin Yu first.
She didn’t expect Lin Yun to arrive even faster!
This joy was indescribable with words.
"Lin Yun!"
Wang Wanqiu ran over excitedly, grabbing Lin Yun and said, "You’re back to help me, aren’t you?"
Lin Yun: "..."
I’m just passing by.
Before Lin Yun could respond, Wang Wanqiu released him and, grabbing Lin Yu, said, "Master, there is hope for your body, as long as we use Lin Yun as the alchemical cauldron, there’s a chance to replenish your flawed body!"
As soon as Wang Wanqiu finished speaking, the already stiff atmosphere became even more awkward.
Wang Wanqiu was somewhat puzzled for a moment.
What’s going on here? Right, Lin Yun seemed to be speaking with her master just a moment ago? Could it be that they already knew each other?
Wouldn’t that be even better?
