The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 300 - 299: Dragon King Temple

Lin Yun’s imagination was extremely rich, and since it was just speculation, he didn’t have to be responsible for it.

By imagining all possible and impossible things, he would always hit upon the correct answer eventually.

If he was lucky, he might guess right more often.

Lin Yu listened to his speculation and couldn’t help but laugh, "Your theory does make some sense, the only impossibility is the part about going to sea. The ocean has always been a taboo among taboos. My master said that when he broke through to the Celestial Knowing Realm, full of vigor, he wanted to have some fun at sea. But he had barely left the coast by a few hundred meters when he encountered a terrifying giant beast. If it were not for the quick speed of Sword Flight, I’m afraid he would not have made it back to pick me up." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Speaking of Ming Xin, Lin Yu’s mood grew heavier.

Not wanting Lin Yun to worry, she forced a casual tone, "It’s also unclear where my master is now."

"He must have gone very far!"

Lin Yun said against his better judgment.

Your master didn’t even make it a few hundred meters out to sea before being eaten by a giant mouth, who knows how far that mouth can swim.

"The deeper into the sea you go, the more giant beasts there will be. Even with my level of cultivation, it would be difficult to come back in one piece, so no one should be able to cross the ocean."

"But what if he could control the sea beasts?"

If you can’t beat them, it’s reasonable to use some secret technique to control them!

"That’s even more impossible. Sea beasts don’t possess any intelligence, just the purest of desires and instincts. Many cultivators believe that sea beasts are probably descendants of the Demon Race, so how can humans control demons? It would be more likely the other way around."

Lin Yun: "..."

In fact, the Demon Race is not forever insubordinate.

For details, see Hu Yuling.

With Lin Yu firmly refuting his guess, Lin Yun felt even more convinced that his speculation might be correct.

"Since we can’t find out how to activate that legacy, why don’t we just destroy it?"

The strategy Lin Yun proposed left Lin Yu speechless.

Are you from the Demon Sect?

"Destroying it if we can’t have it, that’s not appropriate, is it? Such ancient legacies usually have great figures from the ancient times behind them. Reckless destruction could bring disaster upon us."

When it came to attracting trouble, Lin Yun was even less afraid.

Wasn’t he already laden with troubles?

Previously at Holy Spring Lake, he had met a Divine Spirit named Su’e. Now, he had Qing Nu with him as well.

At the Moon God Ruins, after reading that poem, Lin Yun reckoned the Moon God might have something to do with him—that’s three gods already. What else was there to fear!

"Don’t be superstitious about the power of the ancients. If it were really that powerful, it wouldn’t have died out, right? Look at this Dragon King Temple; it’s also built many years ago, isn’t it? If I set fire to the Dragon King Temple, could the builder crawl out of the ground and hit me?"

Lin Yun and Lin Yu happened to be in the center of Mountain and Sea Pass, where there was a Dragon King Temple.

Dragon King Temples could be found near any body of water, with the legend of dragons governing rain deeply rooted in people’s hearts, along with the widespread tales of their ability to stir winds and waves. Thus, Dragon King Temples are found nearby large rivers and seas.

The Dragon King Temple in Mountain and Sea Pass wasn’t that popular with worshippers, but the location was quite good.

Lin Yun didn’t actually want to burn down the Dragon King Temple; it was just an offhand example.

Lin Yu couldn’t help but tug at his ear, as if she were disciplining a mischievous child for speaking out of turn.

"Be careful with your words. Matters of Divine Spirits should be respected, whether you believe in them or not."

Lin Yu also felt it strange that Lin Yun was speaking without any restraint today; this was not like his character.

The Lin Yun she knew was a bit naughty but overall gave the impression of being quite prudent, knowing when to advance or retreat. Yet today, she found Lin Yun to be somewhat arrogant, even daring to talk about setting fire in front of a Divine Temple.

Something was definitely off.

Little did she know, Lin Yun inherently lacked reverence for the divine. In the Great Mist Secret Realm, he had even seized the power of a god. How could one expect him to believe in and revere them?

Moreover, all he wanted now was to resolve this matter quickly so he wouldn’t have to go undercover in the grasslands. In his eagerness to persuade Lin Yu, he had become somewhat desperate.

Seeing Lin Yu being very cautious, Lin Yun could only say, "I got it."

"Let’s go, we’ll go in and offer incense as an apology for what you said earlier."

"Oh."

Lin Yun was somewhat disappointed as he followed Lin Yu to buy incense and entered the Dragon King Temple.

It was just as he stepped over the threshold that the Moon Water Spirit Pearl within him immediately had an even greater reaction.

"Eh? The mysterious inheritance is right here!"

While Lin Yu was still lighting the incense, Lin Yun blurted out such a statement, which left her stunned as well.

Could it be true? They had actually found it?

Honestly, she had hoped that Lin Yun would find and unlock the inheritance within a day. If he hadn’t found it, she would have thought that made sense. But now that Lin Yun had indeed found it, she couldn’t help but feel it was a bit over-the-top.

Just like Dongfang Hongyue, Lin Yu was also worried about Lin Yun’s overly strong fortune.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Yu looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression. Lin Yun said, "It should be here; I have a treasure-finding item that can confirm there is a treasure at this location."

So it was a treasure. That made Lin Yu feel much more at ease.

She had thought that Lin Yun was just relying on luck!

"Let’s not rush; since we’re here, let’s first offer the incense!"

As she said this, Lin Yu passed the incense to Lin Yun, but suddenly, she realized her own incense stick had not been lit.

She had just been about to light it but was distracted by Lin Yun and hadn’t paid attention. Now she discovered the incense just wouldn’t burn.

Lin Yu created a small fireball to light the incense. Although she wasn’t primarily a practitioner of Fire Spell, using a minor spell to light a fire wasn’t a problem for her.

The fire appeared, but the incense just wouldn’t catch.

Could such a thing happen?

Lin Yun also found it interesting as he watched.

"Let me try; my fire is more powerful."

Lin Yun took the incense and tried to light it with his own fire.

The incense still wouldn’t burn.

If Lin Yun’s powerful fire couldn’t even light an incense stick, there must be some sort of mysterious force interfering.

"Do you think, it could be because of what we said earlier, that the Dragon King is angry, so he won’t accept our incense?"

That was what Lin Yu was worried about; if they couldn’t even make an apology, then...

Lin Yu’s Heart Sword subtly pointed towards the Dragon King.

Lin Yun looked at the temple’s statue, which was a coiled dragon; the stone carving was so ancient that its original color was indiscernible.

Speaking of which, all dragons should be ranked below the Azure Dragon. According to Little Gold, in this world, all scaled ones are descendants of the Azure Dragon, all avians of the Vermilion Bird, beasts of the White Tiger, and armored ones of Xuanwu.

And since Lin Yu was the White Tiger, she should be not just the White Tiger Destiny, but the real White Tiger. Even a real Azure Dragon probably couldn’t withstand an incense offering from her.

Being on the same level, the White Tiger was still the mightiest among The Four Sacred Beasts. To accept the incense would likely invite trouble.

Lin Yun then said, "It was me who spoke wrongly; let me offer the incense!"

There must have been some sort of mystical force lingering in the Dragon King Temple, and Lin Yun was starting to have his own thoughts about it.

Nevertheless, the incense still wouldn’t light.

Good Lord, could the Dragon King really be holding a grudge!

Buddy, I was just joking!
