The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 272 - 271 I Split Open

Lin Yun had never imagined that he wouldn’t falter due to the cold, nor falter fighting the various lesser creatures of the Snow Mountain, yet he lost his way amidst the snow peaks.

Everywhere he looked was a vast expanse of white. Lin Yun couldn’t discern any directions, and when he tried to use his Divine Sense to explore further, he felt an inexplicable suppressive force.

Well then, just trust your eyes!

Lin Yun’s vision was pretty good; he could see far, but no matter how far he looked, it was all just a blanket of snow with no particularly eye-catching landmarks.

"Anyway, heading uphill is correct."

Lin Yun could only choose a route that sloped upwards, reasoning that others undergoing their trials would do the same—there had to be a path where the wagon meets the mountain, and if there wasn’t, then he would make his own.

He was completely unaware that he had deviated from the intended route and stumbled upon the path with the highest concentration of creatures.

The trial path, frequently traversed by warriors ascending the mountain, had its challenges mostly cleared away. The only dangers were the inherent illusions, which could be overcome with a firm will, presenting no great peril.

If lucky, guided by snow wolves, passing through was all but assured.

That route was akin to an easy mode.

Yet Lin Yun, through sheer effort, had embarked upon a route as difficult as hell itself.

It was the most chaotic path in terms of the Snow Mountain’s power. In this area, the power of the Snow Mountain God was wildly violent, and all the creatures were ferocious and belligerent, devoid of any reason.

Compared to the normal path of trials, the creatures here were insane.

But Lin Yun hadn’t noticed anything amiss. Upon encountering an ice man, he threw a punch, shattering it to pieces.

If a snow figure suddenly burrowed out from the snow, a single kick would send its head askew.

Little Gold was unlocking the potential of his body, and because of Little Gold, Lin Yun’s body still harbored the Power of Thunder, causing his punches and kicks to be deadly.

Most noticeably, his strength had increased considerably. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

A punch with the force of a thousand pounds was the mortal limit.

The most elementary cultivators possessed bodily strength roughly ten times that of mortals, which translates to ten thousand pounds of force. After Mortal Transcendence and filled with vigor, a cultivator’s body could be a hundred times more powerful solely based on physical might.

Thereafter, significant enhancements were scarce. Beyond the Enlightened Realm, the body would undergo another transformation. Lin Yun was unaware of the strength at that stage, but after Divine Cultivation, most cultivators focused on the mind, which was far more formidable than physical power.

According to mainstream beliefs, there’s a limit to physical breakthroughs, whereas the power of the heart is boundless.

It was with the assistance of the Snow Mountain Divine Power that the Grassland People could surpass the limits of their bodies.

And now, Lin Yun felt that his strength had grown not just a tenfold but dozens of times stronger than after his initial Mortal Transcendence breakthrough. He believed that a full-force punch from him could probably quake the earth.

"Body refining is truly tough!"

Of course, Lin Yun knew that it was unrealistic for strength to multiply in the later stages of progress, where every slight improvement could be extremely difficult.

But Lin Yun had not reached his limit yet; his body still had plenty of potential to unlock.

Moreover, Lin Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that when he killed those snow figures and ice men, a surge of pure energy would enter his body, nourishing his physique.

This was Xiao Qing’s doing. The surrounding forces were too violent for Xiao Qing to absorb anymore, but the pure energy released upon the death of these snow and ice figures was different; the nature of this energy was unclear, but it was absorbable.

Isn’t this just leveling up by fighting monsters?

Originally feeling trapped and a bit irritable, Lin Yun suddenly became enthusiastic.

If it’s about farming monsters, I’m not going to feel stuck at all!

Previously engaging in battles as he encountered them, he was now deliberately seeking out the snow creatures...

The night passed.

In the Snow Mountain Divine Temple, the Grand Shaman and the Snow Maiden finally realized something was amiss.

Why hasn’t Lin Yun come back yet?

"Don’t panic, let’s wait a bit longer."

The Grand Shaman comforted the Snow Maiden.

The Snow Maiden asserted she wasn’t anxious at all, what’s there to fear from a mere Snow Mountain trial?

And so, the wait continued for another day.

The Grand Shaman and the Snow Maiden eventually became restless.

However, according to the rules, no one is allowed to assist with the Snow Mountain trial.

"Relax, if he can’t hold on and chooses to exit, he can still come back safe and sound."

The Grand Shaman reassured the Snow Maiden, and with a serious expression, she nodded in agreement.

At this moment, those struggling on the Snow Mountain were probably the snow monsters.

"Won’t these monsters respawn?"

Lin Yun felt like he was playing a real-life massive online game by now, one punch with 999 damage, too bad he didn’t have a Dragon-Slaying Saber yet.

In this way, Lin Yun farmed wild monsters for a day and a night. Initially, the Ice Men and Snow People were everywhere, but gradually, there were fewer of them, and Lin Yun didn’t know how much stronger he had gotten—anyway, he was one-shotting the Snow People.

Of course, he didn’t go bald, either.

The Grand Shaman hadn’t mentioned a time limit, so Lin Yun kept farming monsters, seizing the chance to rapidly increase his strength and vigorously pluck the wool where he could.

At the same time, he also ran toward the mountain’s summit to save time. He didn’t know how far he had run in that day and night.

As the number of snow monsters dwindled, Lin Yun noticed that the terrain had become somewhat flatter, and a slope of about thirty degrees appeared before him.

Looking into the distance, a cave appeared at the end of the slope, covered with ice and snow, with several ice cones on top.

Could this be the Snow Lotus Cave!

It seemed this was the end point, and while Lin Yun felt a bit regretful, he also knew that a level was bound to have an end, it couldn’t stretch on indefinitely.

No big deal, though, he can farm again when he goes back down the mountain.

Lin Yun ran towards the direction of the cave, and when he was about thirty feet from the entrance, the snowflakes on both sides of it suddenly fell away, revealing two huge ice sculptures.

On his way, Lin Yun didn’t know how many Ice Men and Snow People he had fought, so seeing these wasn’t surprising, but these two Ice Men were slightly larger.

They were close to four meters tall, and both were holding Ice Spears in their hands.

Compared to the unintelligent Ice Men and Snow People, these were obviously a few degrees stronger.

It was common sense to have to defeat the Guardians in a challenge, and this wasn’t Lin Yun’s first time fighting giants; he had experience.

Moreover, he was much stronger than before, and now without a weapon by his side, his fists and feet were his strongest weapons.

Taking advantage of his agility, Lin Yun swiftly appeared under the crotch of the Ice Man—uh, just high enough to reach, and his powerful punch aimed for this weak spot.

Lin Yun threw a fierce punch...

The Ice Man had no such weak spots, as it was simply a block of ice shaped like a person, without human vulnerabilities.

Lin Yun: "My bones are cracking..."

Along the way, Lin Yun had killed too many Ice Men, so much so that he had gotten used to shattering them with one punch. However, this punch was different: the Ice Man looked down, and the red glow in its eyes seemed to mock silently.

"Little bro, didn’t you eat?"
