The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 236 - 235 Are you two doing a comedy skit here?
Lin Yun, a professional at playing the comic stooge, made Chu Huai feel somewhat uncomfortable. He said displeasedly, "Don’t interrupt, listen to me!"
"You may speak."
Chu Han: "..."
Bai Jiaojiao: "..."
Xiao Qing: "..."
All three onlookers felt very strange.
What the hell, aren’t we supposed to start fighting now? Why are we still chattering?
Chu Huai also felt extremely uncomfortable. To speak now would ruin the mood, and not to speak would stall the buildup of intensity to an anticlimactic hush.
All in all, it was quite unpleasant.
This young man really has a knack for being annoying!
Chu Huai simply ignored him and pretended he was speaking to the others instead.
"It has always been said in the Mortal Realm that one can cultivate to become an immortal, but little do they know, humans can only be humans, and gods are born gods. Therefore, to break through the limits, it is impossible just by one’s own cultivation; one must seize the status of those above."
On this point, Bai Jiaojiao had a deep understanding.
She had always wanted to become a dragon, a deep-seated desire from her bloodline.
However, when she encountered the Demon Dragon in the Dragon Tomb, the Demon Dragon told her that dragons are born dragons, and mortal creatures, even with a hint of dragon blood, could never become dragons through cultivation.
Her ability to transform into a dragon now was because of the Demon Dragon’s Dragon Ball—that is, she had seized a dragon’s status to be able to transform.
Uh, what’s the deal with Lin Yun’s Little Green Dragon?
Bai Jiaojiao suddenly noticed a discrepancy, but now was not the time to investigate it.
Lin Yun continued to play the stooge, saying, "How does one obtain the status of those above? Is it really that easy to supplant them?"
"Of course it’s not easy. How could humans possibly stand against gods? Even if a god died, its lingering True Spirit could easily annihilate the strongest Human Cultivators, so to break through the limit, one must search for those gods that have already perished."
Quite pleased with himself, Chu Huai said, "I have poured over a vast number of ancient texts. Records of Divine Spirits are scarce and mostly legendary. But I believe legends aren’t without a basis in truth. Finally, persistence paid off, and I heard about the mysterious disappearances in the Ghost Fog Forest. After exploring, I eventually found this Secret Realm."
"Then how did you know the Secret Realm was related to deities?"
"That’s a long story. During my early travels, I encountered a woman who had emerged from the Divine Spirit Secret Realm. At first, she was no different from a mortal, except for a flame mark between her eyebrows that looked like a birthmark. After the mark disappeared, she awoke memories of the Secret Realm. Back then, I was a dashing young man, even more handsome than you..."
Chu Huai wanted to say he was more handsome than Lin Yun, but was a bit too embarrassed, so he just altered his words, "Anyway, she told me about the Secret Realm."
"Oh, you really are amazing then."
"Isn’t that the truth? With this face of mine, when I came to Hidden Mist Village, I captivated the Temple Priest, who insisted on marrying me. Thanks to her, I’ve been able to live well. But she was naïve, and I deceived her, and she spilled all her secrets."
"Wow, deceiving people is not nice."
"Hey, there was no other way. ’A single success can lead to a mountain of bones,’ stopping at nothing for a goal isn’t really a big deal."
Chu Han: "..."
You two really started a chat here?
"So what did she tell you?"
"Well..."
Chu Huai finally realized something was off.
"How can you all be so relaxed and leisurely?"
Chu Huai suddenly lost the mood to act tough. What he actually wanted to see was Lin Yun’s shock, panic, and admiration, not like now, with Lin Yun feigning an expression of ’you’re so amazing’ while making random chit-chat.
"There are some secrets you’re not meant to know. I’ve been lenient enough telling you this much. Now get ready for your journey. I will make good use of your body, and as for your woman, I wouldn’t mind taking good care of her either,"
Chu Huai glanced at Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing, feeling that both were quite nice.
The desires of cultivators are relatively weak, but not nonexistent.
Having spent who knows how many years in this sunless hellhole, seeing Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing—two attractive young women, one older, one younger—he felt some temptation as well.
Lin Yun just snorted disdainfully and said, "Is that all you’ve got to say? I was actually considering giving you a chance to speak more, but since you don’t cherish it, forget it. I actually quite admire your intelligence. Knowing full well that I’ve seen through everything, you still don’t flee immediately. You don’t seriously think you have the ability to snatch my body, do you?"
Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Chu Huai’s heart skipped a beat. Right, didn’t Lin Yun see through his plan to possess his body? Why was he still daring to show up here?
However, Chu Huai quickly regained his composure and smiled, "Trying to scare me? You’re still too green. From the moment I appeared, you’ve been crafting an image of yourself as so clever and wise just to intimidate me, to make me believe that you have everything under control. But in reality, you’re nothing more than a mid-level cultivator. How can your Divine Soul strength compare to mine?
Moreover, to make sure of victory, before coming here, I’ve already absorbed the souls of those monsters. Now, the strength of my Divine Soul has reached the limit possible for humans, and this Great Mist Temple here will greatly enhance my power. With both location and people in my favor, what can you use to fight against me?"
"Then come on!"
Lin Yun acted as if he had something to rely on, but his legs still shook a bit.
Chu Huai immediately laughed.
You’re just a young man after all. A good performance, but your body has betrayed you! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Seeing through Lin Yun’s brave front but cowardly inside, Chu Huai did not hesitate. His Divine Soul left his body and rushed headlong towards Lin Yun.
It was like a wisp of Mistier, entering Lin Yun’s body. Bai Jiaojiao and Green Snake were both in a panic, but they indeed couldn’t intervene in this spiritual battle.
A battle between Divine Souls is incredibly dangerous, and it’s not something cultivators typically engage in.
Firstly, the person themselves naturally has home field advantage, as the soul and body are more closely integrated. An outsider needs a cultivation level many times higher than the host’s to enter another’s body, eradicate their Divine Soul, and then spend a sufficient amount of time to integrate their own Divine Soul with the body.
Upper Realm Cultivators generally would not do this unless it’s an evil cultivator driven to desperation. At that time, they wouldn’t dare to pick on other cultivators and could only target Mortals without any cultivation.
Chu Huai was so confident because he was no longer human, but a creature assimilated by the Great Mist.
However, he was unaware that Lin Yun’s leg shake was deliberate.
It was to make Chu Huai think he was just putting on a brave front but was actually fragile inside.
In reality, Lin Yun couldn’t wait for a battle of Divine Souls.
The aura emanating from Chu Huai was even stronger than Bai Jiaojiao’s. They might not be a match for him in a head-on fight.
And if the villagers could transform into Mist Beasts within the Divine Temple, resulting in such fearsome creatures from once frail villagers, then if Chu Huai transformed, there would be no fighting him.
If it came to a battle of Divine Souls, Lin Yun was not afraid.
He almost wanted to directly say to Chu Huai, "Come on, come play inside my body!"
But he worried that would scare Chu Huai away, so he just pretended not to be afraid.
A trap laid, a weakness revealed, and just like that, the fish had bitten the hook.
Once Chu Huai entered Lin Yun’s spiritual world, he saw a ball of Golden Divine Fire in Lin Yun’s left hand and a ball of Golden Thunderbolt in his right hand.
"You’ve arrived, brother?"
