The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 464 - 454 Demonification

After sending Jiang Chenyu away, Lin Yun finally got some peace.

Not knowing when Dongfang Hongyue would come, Lin Yun found a hidden place nearby and instructed Snowstep, "Keep watch over the surroundings. If someone comes, call out loudly."

Snowstep: "..."

A perfectly fine horse, why must it serve you like a dog?

What kind of karma have I wrought!

Resentful in its heart, Snowstep still obediently went to stand guard.

Lin Yun then took out the Heavenly Demon Hand.

The Heavenly Demon Hand immediately had a bad premonition.

"Master..."

"Don’t call me master. My servants must be cute and pretty. You are just a right hand."

Heavenly Demon Hand: "..."

Are standards for acknowledging a master so high nowadays?

"As long as I have sufficient strength, I can change."

The survival instinct of the Heavenly Demon Hand was strong, but Lin Yun still did not plan to keep it.

Every time it was used, a trace of Demonic Qi would infect his body, which would definitely be a future calamity, so it was better to just burn it cleanly.

Moreover, with the successful case of the Cloud Rain Sword before, as long as he did the refining properly, the quality of the result might not necessarily be worse than the original.

The Cloud Rain Sword almost chopped the Heavenly Demon Hand, which shows that he has a talent for Artifact Refining.

Also, the Cloud Rain Sword is a power of sanctity, it won’t lead people into demonic ways.

So, the fate of the Heavenly Demon Hand was sealed, and no one could stop it.

Lin Yun decisively brought out the Fire Seed, the thirty-six petal lotus particularly eye-catching.

Amidst the Heavenly Demon Hand’s pleadings for mercy, Lin Yun mercilessly tossed it into the fire to roast.

There’s a saying about abandoning one after they’ve served their purpose — this was it.

Worried that the Demon Summoning Well might escape, this time, Lin Yun roasted the two items together.

The Demon Summoning Well was fast asleep and suddenly found itself engulfed in flames, and not just any flames, but Meritorious Divine Fire.

The Demon Summoning Well, rich in Demonic Qi, felt even more agony when burned.

However, it was completely helpless, as it had already recognized Lin Yun as its master.

If it hadn’t been for the previous bloody battle, which had depleted much of its spirituality, it might have been able to turn the tables and fight a desperate battle with Lin Yun. But now, like the Heavenly Demon Hand, it was in a weakened state and had acknowledged Lin Yun as its master, leaving no room for resistance.

Under the nemesis of Golden Flames, both Heavenly Demon Instruments could only obediently be burnt, without a trace of Demonic Qi escaping.

Snowstep witnessed how Lin Yun accepted the two Heavenly Demon Instruments as his own, and then how he burnt them, feeling even more terrified of Lin Yun.

Using them up and then destroying them without hesitation, too fearsome — after having commanded me so many times, would he also kill me?

Suddenly, Snowstep hesitated, wondering if it should run back home first...

She had an owner; surely Lin Yun wouldn’t kill her, right?

But then, she knew so much — had Lin Yun never intended to let her return from the beginning?

The more Snowstep thought about it, the more afraid it became, even believing that Lin Yun would do away with her master after using her up.

"No, I must save my master!"

With plans in mind, Snowstep seized the chance while Lin Yun was busy with the fire and quietly ran away.

Lin Yun didn’t notice at all; all his focus was on Artifact Refining.

To be exact, this wasn’t Artifact Refining; this was Purification.

The Heavenly Demon Instruments were already formed; Lin Yun was essentially re-smelting them, just adding some details.

Not only that, Lin Yun was also feeling the changes in the Fire Seed.

As the pure Magic Power of the Heavenly Demon Instruments was burned by the Golden Flames, that power transformed into a force of the same nature as the Meritorious Divine Fire, further strengthening the Fire Seed’s power.

Could it be that in this Cultivation World, the law of conservation of energy also applies?

The more Lin Yun thought about it, the more it made sense. The Fire Seed’s enhancement was actually the transformation of another form of power.

But, how is the loss between these calculated?

Lin Yun couldn’t delve into that for the time being, but in any case, after purifying the two Heavenly Demon Instruments, his lotus petals grew to forty-two levels.

Initially, a single Remnant Heart Sword allowed his Fire Seed to grow over twenty petals; now, two Heavenly Demon Instruments only increased by six petals.

Was this because the remaining power of the two instruments was less than that of the previous single one, or because the more petals there were, the more power needed for growth?

Perhaps, there were both reasons.

Anyway, Lin Yun had burned both items once.

The Heavenly Demon Hand was still a glove, but it had turned from black to gold.

When Lin Yun tried it on, he felt that its power had diminished considerably.

It seemed that something needed to be added.

The items he had borrowed from the Taiqing Daoist Temple had not been used up yet, and this was the perfect opportunity to use them.

In the end, he would just have to add some spiritual liquid and essence blood, and then it would be complete.

With his previous successful experience, Lin Yun continued to refine blindly according to this idea.

This time, with more experience and a more powerful fire seed, Lin Yun was able to refine two at the same time.

Compared to the Heavenly Demon Hand, the Demon Summoning Well posed a bit of a problem for Lin Yun.

The Heavenly Demon Hand, stripped of its demonic qi, was still an impressive material; as long as some spiritual liquid was added, it could still be used.

But the Demon Summoning Well was different. When the demonic qi was burned off, the fire seed did not bestow it with a new power.

Lin Yun concentrated and sensed that without the impediment of demonic qi, his divine sense easily entered the interior of the Demon Summoning Well.

The Demon Summoning Well was a spatial magical artifact. While not as effective in combat as the Heavenly Demon Hand, it was a must-have treasure for domestic travel, and for killing and plundering.

Lin Yun had wanted a spatial magical artifact for a long time. The Classic of Mountains and Seas counted as one, but it could only store living things. Lin Yun had even considered capturing Long Xiaoman once but later shelved the idea.

Now the Classic of Mountains and Seas was lying in Lin Yun’s Qi Sea, shivering in a corner.

The Chaos Pearl and the Moon Water Spirit Pearl were also trembling every day.

Lin Yun always had quite a few treasures, but unfortunately, not many were useful.

Now, the ones he commonly used were only Qiaobian and the Thunderclap Sword. As for the other miscellaneous items, Lin Yun didn’t like to carry them, which resulted in him lacking clothes last time until Yuxuan provided him with some, and Lin Yun was still wearing them.

So, when a cultivator goes out, they must prepare their belongings well, otherwise, if their clothes are destroyed, they won’t have anything to change into.

If the Demon Summoning Well was just a storage tool, it would be somewhat superfluous. It wouldn’t be appropriate for Lin Yun to carry a well around all the time.

Lin Yun’s divine sense continued to explore the interior of the Demon Summoning Well, not missing the slightest detail.

Finally, he found the clue.

The Demon Summoning Well appeared to be made of blocks of green bricks forming a wellhead. Upon entering the interior with his divine sense, Lin Yun saw that each green brick contained a very special rune. The runes connected to each other formed a spell array.

Not only could the connected runes form a spell array, but if you linked runes with one interval in between, you would get a new spell array, and with two intervals, yet another spell array.

Due to this characteristic, multiple different spell arrays could be formed inside the Demon Summoning Well, its complexity comparable to the Thousand Mechanism Change the Flower Fairy had once set up.

The Thousand Mechanism Change was too complex for Lin Yun to study, but this time it was a little simpler. Lin Yun was engrossed and immersed in it, even forgetting that Dongfang Hongyue might come looking for him.

Lin Yun kept connecting the runes in different ways and managed to calculate ninety-nine changes, with thirty-six spell arrays having similar effects.

Upon further contemplation, Lin Yun realized that these thirty-six connected runes formed an overall picture of a meridian map, which Lin Yun had studied not long ago while examining Yuzhu’s body. This meridian map was identical to the meridians inside Yuzhu.

Could this be a cultivation method of the Demon Race?

These thirty-six different ways of connecting seemed like infusing power into different acupuncture points.

Lin Yun subconsciously followed this method, absorbed spiritual energy, and infused it into one of the acupoints.

At that moment, a mass of black qi in Lin Yun’s body also moved into this acupoint, quickly darkening the area.

This was not good. This was the contaminated power left inside his body by the Heavenly Demon Hand. Lin Yun had gone through his body once with the Meritorious Divine Fire and had not found any trace. He thought he was safe, but now it had unexpectedly emerged again.

Moreover, this small mass of demonic qi, after occupying one of Lin Yun’s acupoints, seemed to be greatly nourished and quickly spread to two adjacent acupoints.

Similarly, the spread portion of the demonic qi, upon reaching Lin Yun’s two acupoints, also swiftly filled them and then quickly spilled over to the neighboring acupoints.

One begets two, two beget three, three spawn everything.

This demonic qi in Lin Yun’s body seemed to have the potential to start a huge blaze.

Lin Yun’s scalp went numb as if his own body was on fire, and he quickly deployed the Meritorious Divine Fire to burn away this demonic qi. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

However, while the Meritorious Divine Fire was aggressive on the outside, it was not so fierce inside Lin Yun’s body and could not harm his meridians in the slightest, but these demonic qi, taking shelter in Lin Yun’s acupoints, spread faster and faster. Soon, the acupoints in Lin Yun’s body corresponding to the spell array in the Demon Summoning Well lit up, one by one.

"Fuck, I might really be a demon, right?"

Lin Yun thought about it and his scalp tingled.

He had had this suspicion before, and now the meridians in his body were starting to resemble those of a demon.

But he had more than one set of meridians in his body, and beside the dark qi was a set of meridians filled with a holy aura.

The acupoints occupied by demonic qi were the ones Lin Yun rarely used. He didn’t need to cultivate on his own, although he had once nourished all his meridians and acupoints with spiritual liquid, he had never truly followed a formal cultivation routine.

Now with demonic qi occupying parts of acupoints, when Lin Yun circulated the methods from the Red Lotus Sutra, he found that the spiritual energy did not travel through the portion of meridians occupied by demonic qi; the two existed without infringing upon each other, each taking its own path.

If one imagined a cross-sectional diagram, then a large part of Lin Yun’s body was golden, and a small part was black, with this black part spreading within Lin Yun’s body.

At that moment, when Lin Yun looked at the runes inside the Demon Summoning Well again, he suddenly realized that these runes had become individual characters and were arranged in an orderly manner.

"Demonic Transformation Scripture..."
