The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 601 - 109: Doomsday, Divine Ark

The construction of the underwater channel was complete, and Bai Jiaojiao had also transformed back into her human form.

"You should come down too, but how much fortune you can get depends on your own ability. We won’t protect you,"

Bai Jiaojiao said to Yuan Zihe before following Lin Yun.

Yuan Zihe knew that the so-called strange objects causing the fish and shrimp to riot were nonexistent, most likely just an ordinary shipwreck.

But if she appeared too indifferent, it wouldn’t seem like she was a girl seeking to grow stronger and avenge. She needed to act like someone who would take risks for any opportunity, so she had to dive in when it was time.

This might also be a test set by Lin Yun!

However, she had overestimated how much she mattered to Lin Yun. She was just being overly cautious; Lin Yun wasn’t playing so many games.

He followed the channel down with Long Xiaoman to the bottom of the water.

Long Xiaoman, despite her ability to transform, did not like changing form and preferred to live as a fish, so with Bai Jiaojiao draining the water, Lin Yun had no choice but to carry the fish.

And speaking of that, this fish was so big that Lin Yun felt he almost looked like an emoji.

"The shipwreck is right here."

Yuan Zihe was not far behind them. As she reached the bottom, treading on the mud devoid of water, she saw the shipwreck and felt a bit foolish.

What she had imagined as a shipwreck was at most a vessel that traveled along rivers, not the sea.

The Yuan Family’s ships that sailed out to sea were the real big ships, carrying tens of thousands without fear of fierce winds or violent storms; the ships themselves were Immortal Artifacts.

In Yuan Zihe’s eyes, all other ships were small.

But now, she realized she had underestimated the size of this shipwreck.

Most of the ship’s body was still buried beneath the mud, and what appeared before them was just the tip of the bow, which was already about five hundred Zhang wide where it was covered by mud.

The current size of Bai Jiaojiao’s True Dragon form was exactly this length.

And this was only the tip; at its widest, the full size of the ship might even exceed a thousand Zhang.

The entrance where Cloud Dream Marsh intersected with Dragon River was rather narrow, only eight hundred Zhang across, and the waterways beyond were winding and narrow, some places only a hundred Zhang wide, until they reached the widest part of Cloud Dream Marsh, which was several thousand Zhang wide.

Just by its width, the ship wouldn’t be able to enter, not to mention such a large ship carrying who knows how heavy a load would probably run aground immediately even if it could make it in.

Not considering the Dragon River path, this middle section of Cloud Dream Marsh was the only broader segment.

The appearance of the ship here meant either it was built right here and sank before it ever set off, or the water conditions had undergone significant changes, allowing navigation in the past but not now.

After all, the whole ship was buried in mud. It took Long Xiaoman a long time to dig, and with Bai Jiaojiao and Green Snake stirring up storms and clearing mud, they could only glimpse a bit of the ship’s tip.

This ship had significant archaeological value.

With just a ship’s tip appearing and nothing else in sight, but the ship itself was no ordinary vessel.

The body of the ship was dark gold, with a smooth surface, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of, but it was likely wood that had remained submerged for many years without any signs of decay.

"Let’s keep digging."

Lin Yun sensed a mysterious and ancient aura on the ship’s body. There were no seals present, but this colossal entity was trapped in its own right.

So, Lin Yun turned Qiaobian into a shovel.

Qiaobian: "..."

As a Divine Artifact, its functionality was being exploited to the fullest by Lin Yun.

Truth be told, no master in its history as a Divine Artifact had ever been as playful with it as Lin Yun.

The most superficial layer of mud had already been cleared by Bai Jiaojiao’s powerful vortex. Lin Yun’s shovel went down, and the soil was still relatively soft.

Watching him dig, Bai Jiaojiao suddenly remembered their first encounter in the Land of Death.

When they were escaping for their life, without any tools, she used her own claws to dig through the soil.

Back then...

Uh, wrong, it was earlier that same year.

In a daze, Bai Jiaojiao realized that she had known Lin Yun for less than a year, yet they had already formed such deep bonds. In less than a year, she went from being a Sea Dragon to a True Dragon.

From a Demon at the Enlightened Realm, she became a Dragon at the Peak of the Defiant Heavenly Realm.

So, the thousand years she spent in cultivation couldn’t compare to a couple of days of frolicking with Lin Yun!

"Qing’er, don’t work so hard."

Bai Jiaojiao let out a laid-back sigh, causing Green Snake to tilt her head.

What did her sister mean by that?

Without waiting for her to ponder further, Bai Jiaojiao transformed into her enormous True Dragon form, not just any normal form, but an enlarged version of it. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Dragons could grow large or small, but there were limits to both, based on the dragon’s cultivation level.

Bai Jiaojiao’s current maximum size was over five hundred Zhang long, and the smallest was five Zhang. If not necessary, the smallest state was actually better for combat.

Now, to facilitate digging, Bai Jiaojiao maximized her size, to the point that the channel she created could not be maintained.

But that didn’t matter. Bai Jiaojiao’s claws swung continuously, depositing the underwater mud upstream and starting to build a dam, even widening the banks a bit—after all, no one lived by the lake.

Watching Bai Jiaojiao work, Lin Yun suddenly felt that Qiaobian wasn’t as appealing.

Bai Jiaojiao was like a large excavator, and he, with a shovel, couldn’t outdo an excavator, could he?

Only Yuan Zihe had a somewhat twitching expression.

Was this the True Dragon she admired?

Shouldn’t True Dragons be high-end, atmospheric, and upscale?

What the heck is with using claws to dig earth? I wouldn’t even complain if you used a spell...

Alas, Bai Jiaojiao is a water-type Dragon, and although it’s said that ascending to a Divine Dragon requires the Five Spirits to be present, and she has such capability, she still can’t use it proficiently and finds using hands to be quicker and more at will. Unlike spells, they are too powerful and may potentially damage the ship.

Seeing Bai Jiaojiao transforming into a dragon to build, Green Snake followed suit; her Transforming Dragon form was not small either, also reaching a hundred zhang in length.

Two construction Dragons, one of which was an Azure Dragon, made Yuan Zihe feel like her beliefs were collapsing.

Though there were many points of criticism, Bai Jiaojiao’s work efficiency was still high. It wasn’t long before the dam to block the water was constructed. In the middle of Cloud Dream Marsh, Bai Jiaojiao had managed to build a structure shaped like the Chinese character "回."

It completely isolated the water in the middle, facilitating their exploration as the water flowed away from the surroundings, not affecting the natural environment.

In order not to bring about disaster, Bai Jiaojiao was painstaking in her efforts.

Lin Yun understood that this was Bai Jiaojiao’s path of great virtue.

From the moment she aimed to become a Great Virtue Celestial Dragon, she had to act with kindness and accumulate virtue, and not only that, she also had to avoid causing harm to the Mortal Realm.

Like causing floods or droughts by manipulating water, that would trouble her a lot.

Otherwise, with Bai Jiaojiao’s Cultivation Level, she would be more than capable of doing as she pleased in the Mortal Realm, but she couldn’t. Not only could she not, but she also hoped for more opportunities to perform acts of kindness.

So much so that Lin Yun even had the idea of exploiting a bug – let Wu Xin stir up trouble, and then have Bai Jiaojiao save and help the people.

After all, a member of the Demon Race feeds on negative emotions, whereas Bai Jiaojiao was the complete opposite.

This idea was still in the planning stage and had not been put into practice yet. It would be discussed later.

Getting back to the main story, thanks to the efforts of Bai Jiaojiao and Green Snake, more parts of the ship were revealed.

Yet, only the hull was visible, with no sign of the cabins.

The ship was tilted upwards towards the sky, so Bai Jiaojiao and Green Snake shrunk a little because the working surface had lessened.

Lin Yun also pitched in to help dig. Though the shovel was small, it was still a form of contribution.

Moreover, Bai Jiaojiao’s claws were too big, so she had to be careful not to damage anything. For the finer work, it was down to Lin Yun to dig.

The bed of the river was no longer mud but had become somewhat harder in texture.

Lin Yun, wielding a Divine Weapon, was able to dig through the earth rapidly.

While digging, he suddenly heard a crisp sound, as if he had struck something metallic.

"Long Xiaoman, come and spray some water."

Lin Yun called for the duo who weren’t working.

Since Yuan Zihe lacked appropriate tools and her Cultivation Level was insufficient, she was asked to help by holding the fish.

While one man and two dragons were feverishly at work, Yuan Zihe’s expression gradually grew numb, and then she silently busied herself with catching fish.

Hearing the summon, Long Xiaoman obediently complied.

It was only spraying water, which was far easier than pulling the ship.

Considering the size of the ship, it was definite that Long Xiaoman wouldn’t have to pull it, so she was quite at ease.

With the help of the water, Lin Yun cleaned off some of the mud, revealing the object that had collided with Qiaobian, producing the crisp sound.

It was a piece of Qing stone slate.

Just a stone slate, yet capable of colliding with Qiaobian without being damaged, was a treasure in itself.

When Bai Jiaojiao saw that Lin Yun had found something, she too stopped her construction work and looked towards Lin Yun.

This stone slate was their only find so far.

After washing the Qing stone slate clean, it indeed had characters inscribed on it.

Looking at its style, it bore a striking resemblance to the text on the Sky-Piercing Tower.

Lin Yun did not recognize it, but Bai Jiaojiao did, as it was part of the knowledge she had inherited.

"This is Dragon script; could it be that this ship was constructed by the Dragon Clan?"

Bai Jiaojiao transformed back into human form, stating somewhat strangely.

Dragons have no need for ships, just like monks have no need for combs.

Why would the Dragon Clan, who naturally control water, need a ship unless it was a waste of time?

"What does it say on here?"

Lin Yun asked curiously.

The stone slate was only about the size of a typical gravestone and didn’t have too much text on it. Since Bai Jiaojiao recognized it, she should be able to read the entire content at a glance.

On hearing Lin Yun’s inquiry, Bai Jiaojiao replied, "The Day of Doom arrives; the Divine Ark sets forth. Those of great virtue may serve as the furnace, propelling a ship to save the peoples of the world."

Seeing the mention of those of great virtue serving as the furnace, Bai Jiaojiao suddenly felt dazed as if she could see into the future. When calamities arose, she would ignite herself...

Was this her future?

Already progressing towards becoming a Divine Dragon, which was when Bai Jiaojiao was most proud of her accomplishments, now it felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

Noticing her unusual behavior, Lin Yun asked with concern, "What’s wrong?"

Bai Jiaojiao quickly shook her head and said, "Nothing, it’s just that seeing ’The Day of Doom arrives, the Divine Ark sets forth,’ gives me a bit of an ominous premonition."

Lin Yun’s mood also became somewhat heavy.

After Yuxuan, yet another prophecy of doom had emerged...
