The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 654 - 162: Escaping the Quandary

When the Chaos Pearl appeared in Lin Yun’s hands, its spirit suddenly went into a frenzied warning.

Danger!

As Lin Yun infused the Spiritual Liquid into it, the Chaos Pearl once suspected that Lin Yun intended to let it survive on its own Spiritual Liquid, but when a strand of golden flame entered as well, it knew something was terribly wrong.

Lin Yun slashed open his finger and started to etch a symbol on the surface of the Chaos Pearl.

This was a symbol for transforming Spiritual Power. Once the etching was completed, Lin Yun didn’t delay and shouted loudly, "Little Gold, inject the lightning!"

A spark of electricity from the Thunderclap Sword struck the Chaos Pearl, and the blood symbol that Lin Yun had etched immediately took effect. Next, Lin Yun grabbed the Chaos Pearl and threw it toward the Qing Shui below.

Qian Qian did not understand Lin Yun’s actions, puzzled about why he would throw away the treasure, when Lin Yun suddenly pinned her down on the spot.

Before she could demand what Lin Yun was doing, Qian Qian heard a thunderous boom; the entire dam shook, but thanks to the power of the Apocalypse Thunder bolstering it, it only trembled for a moment before settling back to calm.

Qian Qian faintly saw a pale blue flame burning beneath the dam, and at the place where Lin Yun threw the Chaos Pearl, the dam was suddenly blasted open with a huge gap. Not just the dam, even that black column of light had a piece missing from it.

"What is this..."

Qian Qian could hardly imagine that a person whose magic had been sealed like Lin Yun could unleash such a powerful attack that even a prison composed of Apocalypse Thunder was blasted open.

"This is the power of science."

"Science??"

Qian Qian froze on the spot.

As someone who was well-traveled and knowledgeable, she had never seen such a scene before.

Lin Yun didn’t waste any more time talking. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he leaped down, and as they passed by the gap, he deftly transformed a hand into a rope and swung it out, looping it precisely around a broken piece of stone. With a strong pull, Lin Yun landed at the gap, then with a leap, sprang out through the blasted opening in the dam.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, and Qian Qian, carried by him in flight, couldn’t help but exclaim at his prowess.

The means that Lin Yun displayed earned the admiration of this divine being.

"Have we escaped just like that?"

Qian Qian still felt as if she were in a dream. Had they really escaped from what seemed like certain death?

Was this a joke?

It felt too surreal to her, yet she could use her Divine Power again, and she felt that she had the power to destroy heaven and earth with just a thought. Without a doubt, she had indeed escaped danger.

Now, as she and Lin Yun stood suspended in midair, looking at the hole blown in the dam, Qian Qian remembered that Lin Yun had thrown a pearl imbued with the essence of the Primordial Chaos Bead. That pearl was on the level of a Divine Artifact. Did Lin Yun use the self-explosion of a Divine Artifact as a chance to survive?

It had to be said, he was quite willing to sacrifice it, but even more impressive was that he could make a Divine Artifact willingly self-destruct.

"This is the power of science?"

Qian Qian began to take an interest in science.

Lin Yun explained, "First, you electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is flammable and explosive. Mix it with the Great Mist Divine Power and enough Spiritual Power, and add the self-destruction of a Divine Artifact to blow a hole. It makes perfect sense."

"..."

Qian Qian didn’t understand what Lin Yun was saying at all, but it still sounded very impressive.

The only issue was the Primordial Chaos Bead—did it really self-detonate?

It seemed much more like a forced explosion!

But none of that mattered anymore. The Apocalypse Thunder, the Lifeless Water, she had survived them both?

I could brag about this epic feat for another hundred thousand years.

"Is it all over now?"

Now feeling her Divine Power restored, Qian Qian thought she was back in action. If it wasn’t for being caught in the Formation from the start, as a divine spirit like her wouldn’t have been left powerless.

It was just bad luck, and she was outwitted by the gods, otherwise, as a Divine Spirit, she wouldn’t have been so distressed.

But now the wind had stopped, and she felt she was ready to go again.

Lin Yun was not so optimistic. Looking at the water pouring out from that hole, the clouds that still existed only in this piece of the sky, and the sun and moon that were shining together, Lin Yun said thoughtfully, "This is probably just the beginning."

The rain kept falling, and the Qing Shui continued to flow out through the hole that Lin Yun had blown open.

"Can you think of a way to block that hole?"

Lin Yun pointed at the opening and said to Qian Qian.

"That’s easy, don’t underestimate me!"

Now that her Divine Power had returned, Qian Qian could hardly wait to show off her abilities. She wanted Lin Yun to see just how formidable she was. Perhaps next time he saw her, he would respect her a bit more and mock her less.

A massive stone formed in her hands, just the right size to fit the hole. With a flick of her finger, the stone flew towards the dam, perfectly fitting into the gap.

All of this happened in the span of two finger snaps.

"How about that?"

Qian Qian looked smugly at Lin Yun, waiting for him to praise her, but Lin Yun shook his head and said, "Look, it’s leaking."

Qian Qian: "..."

Was he really not giving her any face?

But that place was within the zone controlled by the Apocalypse Divine Thunder; she dared not enter again. If she couldn’t get out, she would be finished.

Having no other choice, she could only muster some earth and paste it over the leaking spot from afar, barely managing to stem the flow of water.

Even though she accomplished the task, Qian Qian had lost all sense of achievement.

"Hmph, I admit that you saved me this time. Let’s call our previous grudges even. If you want to know any secrets, just ask me; I won’t hide anything from you, except for those things that shouldn’t be spoken of," she said.

Qian Qian quite pridefully thanked Lin Yun, even though her words didn’t include a single ’thank you,’ Lin Yun still understood her intention.

Lin Yun had seen through the goddess’s prideful and charming nature, who did she remind him of?

It seemed that there were no more prideful and charming characters around him. In the past, even the Flower Fairy was prideful, but later it was just charm that remained.

The pride and charm of the goddess were quite cute, Lin Yun’s somewhat heavy mood had actually relaxed quite a bit because of Qian Qian. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"I won’t ask now, I want to go find someone first."

Lin Yun had just taken out Dongfang Hongyue’s whistle and blew into it with a whoosh, but there was no response.

He started to worry.

Qian Qian pouted, feeling somewhat unconvinced inside. They had only just escaped danger, and Lin Yun was already thinking of finding his lover—even though she, as a goddess, had been so generous and ready to reward him handsomely!

"Go if you have to, but if you want to listen next time, you’ll have to wait till I’m in a good mood."

Qian Qian was subtly expressing her displeasure.

Come on, coax me, or I won’t talk to you nicely next time.

However...

"Then, I’ll see you next time, farewell!"

After saying that, Lin Yun immediately used Sword Flight and swiftly flew away.

Qian Qian looked at his thunderbolt-like speed, and her silver teeth clenched in irritation.

Am I, a goddess, lacking charm? Why wouldn’t you stay even for a moment?

"Hmph, I didn’t want to stay with you either. Don’t listen, then don’t listen, next time you call me I won’t even bother with you!"

Qian Qian made up her mind, this time she would sleep for ten or eight years first, to let Lin Yun know her might.

"Hmm, why am I still here?"

Qian Qian was a bit bewildered at this moment.

Being a Divine Spirit who had lived for so many years, she thought she knew most of the secrets of the world.

I’ve been in this world for over a hundred thousand years, what haven’t I seen?

Sorry, today there were too many scenes she had not seen before.

Although shocked inside, Qian Qian didn’t lose her bearings; she was the Thousand Hands and Eyes God, an embodiment of power and wisdom.

After being stunned for a moment, she immediately started a calm analysis.

"My Divine Power is still here, but I can’t return to my body. There’s only one possibility, this world has once again been shrouded by a barrier."

Similar to the barrier inside the dam before, it prevented her from returning to her body.

She had thought it was just the dam’s barrier, but now it seemed there might be an even greater barrier outside of it.

It wasn’t impossible, for above the sky, the sun and moon shone together, and every time such a celestial phenomenon occurred, strange things would happen—this world itself is a huge barrier.

All formations in the Mortal Realm borrow the power of heaven and earth, and when heaven and earth unleash their power naturally, even Divine Spirits can hardly resist.

"I don’t know how long this union of sun and moon will last, oh well, since I’m here, I might as well go and have some fun in the Mortal Realm."

Qian Qian’s attitude was quite optimistic. After this thought occurred to her, she subconsciously thought of finding Lin Yun if she went to the Mortal Realm.

"Ah, spit, why should I look for him? He went east just now, hmph, I’ll definitely go west."

Qian Qian said this and was about to set off when she suddenly saw something reflecting light under the dam.

Upon closer examination, wasn’t that the unlucky bead Lin Yun had thrown out to blow up the dam?

Such a big explosion hadn’t shattered it and it seemed to still retain some of its spirituality; indeed, it was lucky.

With a wave of her hand, Qian Qian drew the bead into her grasp.

Only then did she notice a crack on the bead; clearly, the explosion had damaged it significantly.

"Poor little thing, you’ve come across the wrong person!"

Qian Qian took the opportunity to criticize Lin Yun in passing and casually infused some Divine Power, repairing the crack on the Chaos Pearl.

However, she had only restored its surface smoothness; the damage to the Chaos Pearl could not be so easily mended.

"Whatever the case, you’re Lin Yun’s treasure. Since you’ve fallen into my hands, I should return you to him."

Qian Qian seemed to have found a reason to go look for Lin Yun, and with a sweet smile, she tucked the Chaos Pearl away.

"Is there any other goddess in the world as grateful as I am?"

Following the direction Lin Yun had left in, with a single thought, Qian Qian caught up to the Sword Flight of Lin Yun.

But Qian Qian didn’t reveal herself right away to return the Chaos Pearl; instead, she observed him in secret while following her own inclinations.

She also came up with a reason for herself.

If she was to play in the Mortal Realm, wherever she went was fine; there was no need to purposely avoid Lin Yun.

She would go wherever she wanted!

Before long, she followed Lin Yun to a run-down small town in the northeast.

Strangely enough, she hadn’t seen a single living person on her way there.

Looking at the state of the town, it seemed as if some disaster had occurred, leaving it desolate and without a soul.

Oh, the person Lin Yun was looking for wouldn’t happen to be here, right?
