The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 442 - 432: Rebellious Disciple, Come Here and Take Your Beating!
Yuxuan had never imagined that someone could just begin learning the Celestial Stars Spell and already be able to invoke the power of the stars.
Back then, he himself had spent a long time understanding before he sensed the star that resonated with him, which was none other than Tianxuan from the Big Dipper. Only after the resonance did his cultivation level skyrocket, making him the number one figure in the world.
But even for him, it took ten years to resonate with the Tianxuan star, so it was said that one could not immediately draw the power of the stars into their body after cultivating the Celestial Stars Spell. One must first resonate with it, then absorb its power.
Understanding and resonance, both required extensive time.
Who could have guessed that in the time it took to say a few words, Lin Yun would directly soak it up!
The sun was too close, and too much of a good thing could be harmful; absorbing the Power of the Sun would only set oneself ablaze.
When Yuxuan saw Lin Yun completely enveloped in strong light, becoming like a little sun himself, he was dumbstruck.
Good lord, he’s not going to cultivate himself to death, is he?
Yuxuan’s heart pounded wildly, this was his last hope—hopefully, he hadn’t killed it with his interference...
Yuxuan quickly mobilized the power of the stars to block out the sun; finally, Lin Yun was no longer absorbing the Power of the Sun, and the glow on his body began to fade. By this time, Lin Yun was completely naked, his clothes having turned to ash just moments before.
Yuxuan saw Lin Yun with his eyes tightly shut, and at his glabella—the last place where the light converged—a golden pattern flashed once and then disappeared.
"Is that... the Golden Crow?"
Yuxuan was stunned.
He had just tried to rescue him, not expecting Lin Yun to actually come back to life.
It was more like he had never been in trouble at all.
Could it be that someone could absorb the Power of the Sun, and that golden pattern, could it be that Lin Yun was originally a reincarnation of the Golden Crow?
Such ancient legends, Yuxuan also had his doubts.
While pondering, Yuxuan’s gaze shifted unwittingly downward and was startled to see a tattoo on Lin Yun’s chest.
It depicted a woman with the head of a person and the body of a snake. Yuxuan was curious, wanting to see the woman’s appearance more clearly, but in the next second, his eyes felt as if pierced by needles. Everything went black before his eyes, and Yuxuan, in agony, covered his head as blood tears flowed from his eyes.
Yuxuan was horrified inside and quickly circulated the power of the stars to heal his injuries.
"What was that thing!"
Yuxuan hadn’t expected that just by looking, he would suffer such a serious injury—an injury that could not heal within ten days to a half month.
Although he had long known there were others beyond him, and heavens beyond his heaven, having held the title of number one in the world for so many years, his heart was not devoid of pride.
This time, he had truly been slapped in the face.
Lin Yun, meanwhile, was still blissfully unaware. He just felt a warm sensation in his body that was very comfortable, and sensed a warm force had grown within him, while his Golden Lotus had increased slightly in size.
So, the Power of the Sun could actually enhance his Fire Seed?
Then, in the future, he could absorb a bit more.
As Lin Yun opened his eyes, he saw Yuxuan bleeding tears and was startled, quickly asking, "Taoist Master, are you alright? What happened?"
Lin Yun felt somewhat guilty, guessing that Yuxuan might have been injured blocking the Power of the Sun for him. Having just obtained his spell and then causing him such harm, Lin Yun felt uncomfortable.
When Yuxuan heard Lin Yun’s voice, he flusteredly said, "You should put your clothes on first."
Lin Yun: "..."
What, does my body offend your eyes?
Lin Yun looked down in puzzlement and immediately felt a bit embarrassed as he covered his "big brother."
To be seen by an old man like that, how infuriating!
"I have no clothes."
Yuxuan waved his hand and flung out a set of Taoist robes. Lin Yun caught them and immediately put them on, fastening the belt around his waist. As he did so, he instinctively touched his chest; his skin was still smooth, and his body felt warm all over, except this spot, which was slightly cool.
That’s right, when he used that water spell of Qing Nu before, a shadow had appeared here, but after Lin Yun found the Statue of Qing Nu, the shadow disappeared.
Lin Yun had a vague feeling that something was amiss here. Could it be that Yuxuan’s sudden injury was related to this spot?
He dared not think too deeply. The great deity Qing Nu was too terrifying, and it was best not to dwell on anything related to her for now.
"Taoist Master, you’re not hurt, right?"
Lin Yun had dressed and then inquired about Yuxuan’s wellbeing.
By this time, Yuxuan had mostly recovered from his disheveled state, though only Yuxuan himself knew the true extent of his injury, which might also have been an act of heavenly will.
Being injured by such a mysterious force, Yuxuan would need some time to fully recover, but time was something he did not have in abundance.
Injuring himself at this time made Yuxuan’s heart feel somewhat defeated.
Could it truly be that heavenly mandates are inescapable?
It really was both making and breaking due to Lin Yun.
Yuxuan’s hopes had been ignited because of Lin Yun’s arrival, but those same hopes were buried because of Lin Yun.
Yuxuan sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Rest assured, I am unharmed."
"Xiao Qing!"
Lin Yun called out to Xiao Qing and used her as a conduit to cast the Regeneration Technique on Yuxuan.
Yuxuan smiled, about to say it was unnecessary, when he suddenly realized a force was healing his injuries.
After the Regeneration Technique was completed, he was not yet back in full form, but he felt much stronger than before.
"Such intense vitality!"
Yuxuan discovered that the secrets Lin Yun was hiding were even more than he had imagined, but Yuxuan did not dare to probe further. Just now, he had only glanced, and he had suffered such a severe backlash. To investigate further would likely endanger his life.
"Thank you, I’m much better now."
"That’s good."
Lin Yun had no idea to what extent Yuxuan had recovered or if he was fully healed, but since he said he was fine, let’s just take it as he was fine!
"It’s about time you left."
Yuxuan had almost completed what he set out to do and therefore didn’t want to keep Lin Yun around as a guest any longer.
Lin Yun clasped his hands together, picked up the Cloud Rain Sword that had been placed to the side, and said, "Thank you, Daoist, for your teachings."
That favor, I’ll remember. There will be a generous repayment in the future.
See, that’s how good karma is formed.
"You had best not participate in the contest for supremacy tomorrow."
Yuxuan’s last piece of advice was given, and Lin Yun nodded. With a wave of his hand, this time, Lin Yun understood. He saw the shifting of the stars, and the next second, he was at the base of Yuqing Mountain, next to Snowstep.
The sudden appearance of Lin Yun also startled Snowstep. Seeing that it was Lin Yun, its horse face twisted even more.
This guy just won’t leave me alone!
Lin Yun remembered Yuxuan’s last words. After some thought, he decided to heed his advice.
Ignoring the advice of the elder leads to immediate loss. Since Yuxuan suggested staying away, then he would stay away!
First, to find Fang Yu, give her the sword, then head to the grassland to find the Snow Maiden.
Having learned Yuxuan’s technique today, although they had no formal master-disciple relationship, he could be considered his half-disciple. In the future, once he unified the world, Yuxuan probably wouldn’t make things too difficult for him.
Besides, having crafted a powerful weapon himself, Lin Yun felt a sense of double happiness coming his way.
Defeating Fang Yu, that was the top priority.
Lin Yun mounted his horse and declared, "Let’s set out for Purple Cloud Mountain."
Snowstep ran begrudgingly, though with a face full of humiliation.
However, it didn’t know where Purple Cloud Mountain was, so it still needed Lin Yun to direct the way. When Lin Yun tugged at its mane, it reluctantly turned.
They shouldn’t treat horses this way...
Snowstep was fast, but since it couldn’t fly, by the time they reached Purple Cloud Mountain, it was already Zi Hour.
The disciples of Shenxiao Sect had already rested.
Cultivators also followed the natural law of waking at sunrise and resting at sunset. In the earliest days of cultivation, humans learned from nature, a tradition passed down to this day, affected by this concept of "the Way follows nature."
While the ordinary disciples slept, the high echelons of the Shenxiao Sect couldn’t sleep peacefully.
Probably because the challenge for supremacy was taking place tomorrow, an event directly targeting Shenxiao Sect, as if they were to overcome tribulation. Ordinary disciples didn’t need to worry so much, but the higher-ups had to prepare for the worst-case scenarios.
In case negotiations failed, Shenxiao Sect might become the target of public rage.
But none of the higher-ups in Shenxiao Sect had any intention of backing down, treading life and death lightly, ready to fight if confronted.
As it may be told, while being the ones to charge forward for Shenxiao Sect, the leadership still needed to prepare for all challenges, and it wasn’t as simple as just fighting on a whim.
At this time, the meeting of the elders had just ended. Fang Yu walked with firm and determined steps until she reached the front of her dwelling. Only then did she drop her proud demeanor.
The elder’s meeting just now was essentially a pre-battle rally.
Today, Shenxiao Sect’s strength did not fall short of any faction, with Fang Yu and Lin Yu as top combatants, and Zhao Lingyu as the rightful heir of the Imperial Clan. Whether it was for a just cause or based on strength, they possessed the capacity to contend for supremacy in the world.
It’s just that Shenxiao Sect originally had no ambition; they were compelled by the circumstances, forced to battle for themselves.
The elders didn’t really talk about justice; this battle was indeed for themselves, to prevent Shenxiao Sect from being oppressed.
It’s that simple.
At the brink of battle, her state of mind affected the confidence of Shenxiao Sect in this fight. Should she show the slightest weakness, it would also damage the morale of the sect’s elders.
Thus, despite the chaos in her heart, she still appeared calm and collected.
A cool breeze whisked through, fluttering Fang Yu’s hair. She tidied her hair and once again recalled the image of Lin Yun kissing the Snow Maiden.
So infuriating!
The more Fang Yu thought about it, the more upset she became, and her heart felt sour and pained.
Just at this moment, when Shenxiao Sect was in dire straits, Lin Yun was adding to her troubles, making Fang Yu feel all the more aggrieved.
Nevertheless, she couldn’t show her vulnerability in front of anyone, nor could she let others know of her inappropriate private feelings for Lin Yun.
Swallowing the sourness, it only grew more intense.
Fang Yu silently made up her mind that next time she saw Lin Yun, she would have to give him a good thrashing.
With these thoughts in her mind, Fang Yu pushed the door with much greater force, as if she was taking her frustrations out on the door, imagining it was Lin Yun.
But no sooner had she stepped inside than her expression changed. She sensed someone’s presence.
Someone was in her room, and she hadn’t noticed earlier.
Danger!
Fang Yu instinctively released her protective spiritual power, ready to attack, when she saw Lin Yun sitting on the bed with a smile, looking at her...
Good for you, you rebellious disciple, you dare to come back!
