The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 656 - 164: From the Height of Biluo to the Depths of the Netherworld

Chapter 656: Chapter 164: From the Height of Biluo to the Depths of the Netherworld

Jiang Chenyu is pregnant!

This news truly shocked Lin Yun for the whole day.

Once cultivators break through to the middle level or above, they can completely control their bodies, and whether to get pregnant is merely a thought away. When cultivators have children, they first sense the strength of the life essence. Mortals might grow in a barbaric manner, but cultivators generally adhere to the concept of having fewer but healthier offspring.

Conceiving a life almost spells destruction for one’s own path to the Dao; only cultivators who have given up hope on the Great Dao would choose to procreate. Why then, at such a time, would a female cultivator like Jiang Chenyu, who has a bright future ahead, become pregnant?

Lin Yun understood Jiang Chenyu. She had always been in pursuit of the ultimate Dao. Previously, due to the constraints of Guanghan Palace, she wasted many years until she was subdued by Lin Yun. After floundering for such a long time, she suddenly had a great realization and let go of her obsession with Guanghan Palace.

The reason she returned to preside over Guanghan Palace was merely because she couldn’t stand to watch Yue Ningshuang cause trouble and bring difficulties to Guanghan Palace. Letting go of bonds and obsessions doesn’t mean she had no feelings for Guanghan Palace. Spending some time until Guanghan Palace found a suitable successor to weather the current catastrophe, she would once again cultivate the Taiyin True Scripture.

Previously, she had agreed with Lin Yun that once everything was settled, she would start her cultivation anew and have Lin Yun protect her.

This was also one reason she could frequently stay by Lin Yun’s side. Although Lin Yun complained about her, he still agreed.

A complete cultivation of the Taiyin True Scripture could heal all injuries and hidden illnesses of the body, but the severance from the Dao caused by childbirth was not something it could mend.

Because its essence isn’t about the body being harmed after childbirth, but rather the birth of a new life draining away something indescribable from the mother.

This is the mystery of life’s creation, and to this day, the cultivation world still does not know the principle behind it, but it’s a recognized fact.

Upon hearing of Jiang Chenyu’s pregnancy, Lin Yun, after his initial shock, quickly thought of the reason.

He believed the child must be his!

At this moment, the trust between people was manifested. Lin Yun trusted that Jiang Chenyu would not be unfaithful to him, and on the island, without his trace, perhaps it was because Bai Jiaojiao and the others did not find him. Now, with this disaster sweeping across the world, they might think he was already dead.

Jiang Chenyu chose to get pregnant to preserve his bloodline.

Then the question arose; he had given Jiang Chenyu a lot of life essence before, but it had been a long time since the last time. Does that stuff have such a long shelf life?

Lin Yun looked at Jiang Chenyu’s belly; he had thought Jiang Chenyu seemed much rounder earlier but assumed she had just gained weight.

However, even if she had become a bit rounder, her complexion was not good.

Her expression was the same as when she was a princess, always as cold as ice, but the difference was that in the past, it was to maintain the dignity of the Palace Master. Now, it seemed somewhat numb.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. I can withstand a bit of wind,"

Jiang Chenyu said indifferently, responding to Fang Yu’s comforting words.

Fang Yu fell silent immediately.

If Jiang Chenyu were not in a bad state, why would she be so worried? Since the incident with Lin Yun, everyone had changed.

Fang Yu was certainly very sad, but even in her grief, she knew it was not the time to mourn; there were more important things for them to do. For the sake of all the beings in this world, she could not wallow in sorrow.

Because at this time, only she could take charge of the overall situation.

The forces they had retreated to White Tiger Ridge were perhaps the strongest in the Central Plains and had the most survivors.

But after arriving at White Tiger Ridge, the originally unified front was now on the brink of collapse.

After Lin Yun’s mishap, Bai Jiaojiao took on most of the responsibility. Although no one openly blamed her, Bai Jiaojiao was from the Demon Tribe and clashed with the people of the Central Plains. Now, feeling guilty for not taking good care of Lin Yun, she went into seclusion upon returning to the mountains.

She did nothing but cultivate every day, ignoring everyone else.

Jiang Chenyu, on the other hand, was carrying Lin Yun’s child, which was the result of the life essence Lin Yun had transferred into her. To facilitate her ongoing cultivation, Jiang Chenyu had sealed it within her to retain its life-giving properties.

She never thought there would come a time when it would be needed.

Pregnant Jiang Chenyu instantly became the darling of the group, but she herself became increasingly silent.

Before, she was aloof, but now she lacked all interest in life.

The most critical case was undoubtedly Lin Yu.

After Lin Yun disappeared, her only disciple, Wang Wanqiu, perished in the flood, and now Lin Yu was practically untouchable, like a mother tiger who had lost her cub. Her state was extremely dangerous, giving everyone the feeling that they would be attacked if they approached her.

Fang Yu knew that Lin Yu was now filled with remorse because it was she who decided to terminate the salvation plan set by Yuxuan and stopped the battles between cultivators and the Grassland People.

Clearly, Lin Yu was on the verge of collapse, but no one could console her.

Therefore, this conference called by Dongfang Hongyue was specifically to accommodate the place chosen by Lin Yu.

As everyone gathered together, the strong wind blew again.

No one knew how long this flood would last. They had retreated to an isolated island, and those who managed to escape here were all cultivators with a certain level of cultivation. Mortals with low or no cultivation had almost all perished in the great flood.

Given this, even though they were confined to the peak of White Tiger Ridge, there was no immediate risk of food shortages. However, the spiritual energy in this region was becoming increasingly scarce.

Fang Yu was anxious about how to solve the dilemma of many people and insufficient spiritual energy, and if Dongfang Hongyue didn’t call for a meeting, she would have to.

But when everyone gathered, Fang Yu only found out that the meeting had been in vain.

Except for the Flower Fairy, whose emotions were unreadable, everyone else was either distressed or had no desire to live—it was only her and Dongfang Hongyue who seemed normal.

"I’ve called you all here for two reasons," 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Dongfang Hongyue began to speak, and while the distressed people continued in their own worlds as if they hadn’t heard her, she didn’t care and went on, "First of all, I believe Lin Yun is still alive. I don’t know where he is now, whether he’s encountered any difficulties, but I believe he will do everything possible to survive."

Lin Yun was deeply touched by Dongfang Hongyue’s assertive words.

At this time, the one who believed in him the most was still Dongfang Hongyue.

Lin Yun felt this should be the normal attitude. Considering the number of times he had disappeared this year, although this time was a bit special, there was no need for such panic.

The firm words of Dongfang Hongyue finally caught everyone’s attention, and those who were distressed stopped to listen to her.

"The second thing, three days from now, I plan to make a trip to the Netherland. I might not return. If I’m gone and Lin Yun comes back, tell him that I am still alive. If I can, I will search for Lin Yun in the Netherland. As long as he is not there, it means he’s alive."

"Hmph, ignorance. Not all the dead return to the Netherland,"

Qian Qian had always been by Lin Yun’s side. Watching Dongfang Hongyue and others meeting, and seeing Lin Yun gazing at Dongfang Hongyue with deep affection, she felt inexplicably irritated and couldn’t help but make a sarcastic comment.

Without a doubt, Qian Qian was right.

But what of it?

Lin Yun still looked at Dongfang Hongyue with deep affection, with a light in his eyes that made her very uncomfortable.

She couldn’t help but pour cold water, "The love of the mortal world is the biggest obstacle on the path of cultivation. Without you, her achievements would be remarkable. Yet now, for your sake, she is risking her life. The Netherland is not a place for mortals to intrude lightly. She should count herself lucky if she can reclaim her Earthly Soul, to think of provoking the Netherland is nothing but a dead end."

Lin Yun felt displeased hearing Qian Qian’s mocking words; she had irritated him before, and now his dissatisfaction grew.

But remembering that Qian Qian had, unwillingly, transported him all this way, even if Lin Yun was angry, he could only hold it in.

Good grief, in all my life as Lin Yun, I’ve bullied so many people, and this is the first time I’m feeling so uncomfortable because of someone else’s doing.

He wasn’t unreasonable; he knew Qian Qian meant no harm and had helped him a lot, but her words always lit a fire in his heart.

Fortunately, he had a good control over his emotions, otherwise...

Right now, he wasn’t able to beat Qian Qian anyway.

Lin Yun temporarily noted down Qian Qian as a special individual in his little notebook. Revenge was necessary, he must make Qian Qian upset in return, but he had to repay the favor too; he would reciprocate Qian Qian’s help if he got the chance.

Currently, he had no mind to think about these things and followed Qian Qian’s comment, "Does taking the Earthly Soul relate to blessings?"

Lin Yun picked up some useful information from Qian Qian’s mockery.

Only those with a profound destiny have the chance to seize the Earthly Soul from the Netherland. But could Dongfang Hongyue’s fortunes be called profound?

Lin Yun was puzzled for a moment.

You say she’s blessed?

She’s never found a treasure, and since her childhood, she’s been through so much hardship, facing countless dangers.

But to say she’s unlucky?

The truly unlucky ones would have died the first time they faced what Dongfang Hongyue had endured. Yet Dongfang Hongyue had survived countless times over three hundred years, each time narrowly escaping death.

Though mainly through wisdom, Lin Yun felt that without some element of fate, Dongfang Hongyue probably wouldn’t have survived so long.

To say whether she’s blessed or not, it’s hard to tell.

And this was only about seizing the Earthly Soul. According to Dongfang Hongyue, she also intended to search for him in the Netherland. How could that be!

Lin Yun didn’t think Qian Qian was exaggerating. Yuxuan had once intruded into the Netherland, planned many strategies, but still ended up dead without a trace.

Even his level then had surpassed the Defiant Heavenly Realm, and it was still so; Dongfang Hongyue was only in the Enlightened Realm, far behind Yuxuan’s level. Wasn’t she just delivering herself to death?

"It can be called blessings, or it can be called fortune. Considering she has killed so many of the former citizens, she must be someone deeply blessed, favored by the Heavenly Dao. Look, her fortune must be so red it’s purple,"

While saying this, Qian Qian casually waved her hand, and Dongfang Hongyue’s fortune appeared.

However, looking at Dongfang Hongyue’s completely black aura, Qian Qian couldn’t help but tilt her head.

Am I doing this wrong?

What kind of karma has she created? And she has not yet been condemned by the heavens?

Could I really be a jinx?
