The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 276 - 275: The Divine Weapon Belongs to the Fated One (Fifth Update)
When Lin Yun asked this question, the other party fell silent once again.
Especially when Lin Yun was speaking, he wasn’t looking at Zhang Jingwu’s corpse but rather into the darkness not far away.
Before him was an expanse of profound darkness that even Lin Yun’s torch couldn’t penetrate. He had his suspicions all along, but he played with his heartbeat at the ninth step.
Actually, Lin Yun wasn’t sure whether the one he was speaking to was human or a demon. He couldn’t just take their word for it when they said they were Zhang Jingwu; he had to verify it somehow!
Clearly, this demon’s mentality wasn’t too great, probably because it had been waiting for over ten thousand years without much communication with anyone. Plus, Lin Yun had just played it for a fool, so it wasn’t thinking straight at the moment.
After a moment of silence, the other side finally answered, "So many years have passed, and with the Divine Spear’s suppression, that demon would certainly have dissipated."
"Is that so... But what if it’s not dead?"
"You don’t need to worry. As long as you pull out the Divine Spear and gain the legacy of the Spear King, you will be invincible. Why fear a mere demon of the Demon Race?"
Lin Yun: "..."
These ancient swindlers aren’t much good at it!
And still they think they can trick me!
Seeing how eager he was for Lin Yun to pull out the spear, Lin Yun knew he was getting anxious.
This final step was definitely not to be taken.
Lin Yun channeled his Spiritual Power to his eyes, and just like he had seen through the Great Mist before, this time he could see the scene not far away.
He saw a heart impaled on the ground by a long spear, with a ring around the heart. Despite this, the heart was still beating, albeit slowly.
Clearly, that heart was the Demon Race.
Now he finally understood why the two giant ice blocks outside were so hard to defeat. Guarding such an important place, they had to be tough!
And now, having taken out that Guardian himself, if someone else were to enter the cave in the future and wasn’t as clever as him, went ahead and pulled the spear out, releasing the demon, Lin Yun wouldn’t be able to rest easy.
Well, since he had come all this way, hadn’t the Demon Dragon been milked to death last time?
Lin Yun felt that perhaps he didn’t need to be too scared.
He had seen demons before, like Hu Yuling, who was very arrogant at first but became docile after being shocked.
If push comes to shove, I still have Little Gold!
"You’re right, maybe I am the fated one you’ve been waiting for."
Having said that, Lin Yun summoned two golden flames and stood there, casting them towards the heart.
"You... Meritorious Divine Fire, who are you, ah..."
The voice full of shock and anger rose, accompanied by the skin-crawling screams of agony, while Lin Yun silently added a bolt of Thunderbolt.
Anyway, he didn’t have to take the tenth step; what if he was deceived upon doing so?
A Mage at a distance should always maintain the range, that’s proper.
"Ah... put out the fire quickly! I will acknowledge you as my master!"
Lin Yun watched the golden flames burn quietly, listening to the cries and pleas for mercy without being moved.
He already had one demon maid; this demon didn’t even have a human form, so he’d better forget about it!
Lin Yun waited near Zhang Jingwu’s corpse for about ten or so minutes. Finally, the fire died down, but Lin Yun was still not completely at ease.
A wave of intense fire ensued, sanitizing the ground.
The spear and the ring remained unchanged in the fire, but the heart was reduced to nothing, not even ash left.
Only then did Lin Yun take that step, reaching the end of the Demon-Sealing Cave.
He picked up the spear and the ring on the ground. The ring, now pale blue and somewhat resembling a jade bracelet after becoming smaller, was cool to the touch and smooth as jade in his hand, carrying a slight chill.
This was definitely a valuable treasure. First, he put it on his wrist; a man wearing a jade bracelet might seem effeminate, but Lin Yun, being fair-skinned and handsome, would not seem effeminate if he wore women’s clothes with a jade bracelet!
"Pah, I should give it to my wife instead!"
Thinking this, two people came to mind: Dongfang Hongyue and Lin Yu.
Well...
It’s not scarcity that worries, but uneven distribution!
"Forget it, with my luck, I might as well look around a bit more. The next treasure might just turn up."
Lin Yun thought as he picked up the silver-white spear again, he couldn’t help but love it. Previously, Lin Yun had practiced with a sword, but after fighting with the Ice Man, wielding the spear felt quite good.
Now, as he caressed the patterns on the spear’s shaft, he began to entertain the idea of practicing with it.
Right, having obtained the treasure, it was time to claim ownership.
The Flower Fairy had said that when she acquired Sky-splitter, it automatically claimed her as its master. However, Lin Yun didn’t feel anything like that; it was as if he had merely picked up an ordinary spear.
"Could it be that I need to go through a blood drop ritual?"
Lin Yun decided to give it a try and dripped a few drops of blood onto it. The blood was absorbed by the spear, but there was no change.
"Xiao Qing, bring me fire!"
Lin Yun refused to be disheartened. He uttered the word "Golden Lotus" and began to burn the silver spear. Finally, Lin Yun sensed the will of the Divine Weapon.
It already had a predestined owner.
However...
After roasting it for a while, the silver spear softened.
It was now Lin Yun’s Divine Weapon.
Not only that, but the original silver spear had now transformed into a Fangtian Huaji. The patterns on the shaft were strikingly those of a snake coiling around it, with a Fire Lotus burning at the bottom.
Holding this halberd, Lin Yun’s mind filled with information, and he learned about the origins of this Fangtian Huaji.
Indeed, it was a Divine Artifact called Qiaobian, forged by the tail of Xuanwu, and it would transform into the weapon that best suited its owner.
So, when the Northern Spear King wielded it, it was a spear, but for Lin Yun, it became a Fangtian Huaji.
Looking down on who now!
Nevertheless, Lin Yun brandished it a few times, creating a fierce wind, and suddenly felt incredibly cool.
If he hadn’t been without clothes, he might have looked even cooler.
Embedded within the Divine Weapon were thirty-six formidable techniques called the Heavenly Gang Thirty-six Strikes.
Damn, they seemed a bit like knockoffs.
Lin Yun did not practice them for the time being and, slinging the halberd over his shoulder, he glanced once more at the corpse of Zhang Jingwu. After some thought, he decided not to cremate him.
Leaving him here was quite fitting, and as long as the Snow Mountain stood, his body would remain intact due to the freezing cold.
As for the descendants of the Northern Spear King, Lin Yun didn’t know them, nor did he intend to make their acquaintance.
That’ll do.
As Lin Yun was about to leave with the halberd, he noticed two ice cones on the ground.
Having been burnt for so long without melting, could these be Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice?
Thinking he had mistaken his location and that no one had come to this place in over ten thousand years, it seemed quite reasonable that these were indeed Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice.
Can’t waste it, must take them with me.
Lin Yun walked to the cave entrance and also chopped down the remaining five ice cones.
A family of ice cones, all neatly together.
They were just uncomfortable to carry, quite freezing to the touch.
Fortunately, Lin Yun was robust and not afraid of the cold.
"In the future, I must find some storage equipment. Otherwise, two hands just won’t be enough for all the treasures!"
As Lin Yun was indulging in his thoughts, the yet-to-be-claimed jade bracelet in his hand suddenly flashed with a blue light, tugging at his hand and nearly flying out. Lin Yun hurriedly clasped his hands together, not wanting to let it get away. The blue light of the bracelet intensified, pulling Lin Yun into the air right where he was...
