The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 674 - 182: Entering the Dream

Lin Yun’s head-patting technique, which Wu Xin used to resist, she now no longer does so much; she even finds it somewhat enjoyable.

Hu Yuling revealed a look of envy, and Lin Yun, not one to play favorites, indulged her little wish as well.

What does it mean to be a true sage?

It means that when you are embraced from both sides, your heart remains untroubled.

After the head-patting, Lin Yun asked Wu Xin, "Have you ever been to the depths of the Land of Death?"

"I have, I’ve been to all four corners of this world."

Wu Xin said proudly; indeed, there were some secrets in the Land of Death, but there was no need to hide them from Lin Yun.

With Lin Yun’s current cultivation level, exploring it wouldn’t be too difficult for him, so it was better for her to share some information sooner rather than later.

After realizing she couldn’t escape Lin Yun’s grasp, Wu Xin changed her strategy.

There was no need for her to confront Lin Yun head-on. She might as well temporarily submit to him, seek benefits from him, and there would still be a chance to open the Four Spirits Barrier in the future.

Those who achieve greatness do not get bogged down in trifles; throughout history, all great figures who accomplished great things went through lows. She was just temporarily yielding to Lin Yun, and at most, letting him pat her head wasn’t too much of an indignity.

"Deep in the Land of Death, there is a fissure from which Demonic Qi continuously seeps out. After nightfall, demon creatures transformed by the Demonic Qi roam aimlessly in the Land of Death, slaughtering any living being they encounter, which is why there are no living people in the Land of Death."

Lin Yun knew this already; he had even experienced a large-scale monster attack on a city!

Speaking of coincidences, Yellow Wind Valley had existed for over a hundred years without incident, but the moment he arrived, there was an unending stream of demon creature attacks that ultimately destroyed Yellow Wind Valley.

This had always seemed odd to Lin Yun, but since then, the Land of Death didn’t produce any major news, and with Lin Yun having many other issues to deal with, he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

Now, he wondered if it was possible that Su’e had deliberately led the demon creatures to attack Yellow Wind Valley?

Lin Yun didn’t know how big a game Su’e was playing, but Dongfang Hongyue was obviously a piece on her chessboard, as for himself...

He didn’t know whether he counted as one of her pawns, but of the treasures he’d obtained from Su’e, only Cheating Heaven Step was still in use; he had either given away or detonated the rest.

Now in the Mortal Realm, Lin Yun could be said to have no rivals.

However, while others are unrivaled in the world because no one can match their cultivation level, Lin Yun made potential enemies into his wives, each wife capable of helping him deal with even stronger enemies.

Unexpectedly, after becoming unrivaled in the world, he now faced foes from the heavens.

A Divine Being dealing with a mortal is indeed an instance of a Dimensional Strike.

There are four gods at present who could cause him trouble.

The first is the god of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, whose status is unknown; in any case, they are still alive and there’s definitely a deep connection between the Tai Bai god and Lin Yu.

The second is the god of the Canglan Divine Country, who is currently slumbering in Lin Yun’s heart, along with her Divine Country, like a parasite. As long as Lin Yun provides her with nutrients, she would shamelessly suck away his strength.

The third is Su’e, and the fourth is Dongfang Yao.

This ranking is by their threat level, Dongfang Yao...

Give him some respect and mention him, but actually, there’s no need to fear him too much.

He hasn’t awoken yet, and Lin Yun could even tell Dongfang Hongyue that if she encounters someone like him while venturing in the Netherworld, she should kill them immediately to avoid complications.

"Master?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Yun was called back to reality by Wu Xin’s voice; he had just been lost in thought, following his memories, and forgot that he was still listening to Wu Xin’s report.

"I said the fissure in the Land of Death might be a weak spot in the Four Spirits Barrier. Now that the world is changing, the first place that might show problems could be the Land of Death, so we’d better prepare early."

Wu Xin repeated what she had said that Lin Yun had missed. Lin Yun nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand, I’ll be careful."

Although he said this, Lin Yun also felt it was strange; with his speed of thought, this kind of absent-mindedness had never happened before.

He was the kind of man who could stay calm and analyze while adeptly flirting; now, just by thinking casually, he had become distracted.

At this thought, Lin Yun suddenly felt weary. This sensation of mental fatigue made Lin Yun quite uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was time for him to rest.

Cultivators with powerful Divine Sense and abundant spiritual energy can forgo sleep, but sleeping remains the best way to restore one’s spirit.

However, he wanted to keep traveling, to meet Lin Yu and Flower Fairy and find out the reason for their deadly battle.

"Xiao Hu, carry me on your back so I can sleep on you."

"Yes, Master."

Hu Yuling happily came over and carried Lin Yun on her back.

Lin Yun, smelling the fragrance of flowers on her, felt quite comfortable.

"Take me to find Lin Yu or Flower Fairy."

After giving the command, Lin Yun closed his eyes.

The onset of sleepiness was too sudden and intense; Lin Yun felt almost overwhelmed. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

The next second, he found himself caught in the reverse flow of time and space again.

All around him was a flickering yellow light.

Lin Yun subconsciously felt that he must have been too deeply impressed by this scene during the day, which caused him to dream of it, but to his surprise, he discovered that he was merely watching everything from a third-person perspective, as there was no body of his own present.

"This dream is really strange."

Lin Yun thought to himself, noticing a flash of white light ahead. With a thought, he approached it, quickly closing the distance. Upon closer inspection, the white light was actually the glow of a sword.

The sword was enshrouded in invisible lightning, obscuring the true form of the blade.

All he could see was the part of the sword blade that was stained with blood.

That was the sword that had injured him, still with blood on it, likely his own.

Huh?

Am I dreaming about where that drop of my blood ended up?

Lin Yun soon confirmed that he was in a dream. Nevertheless, he had no intention of waking up, instead choosing to follow the light of the sword, backtracking its path upward.

The sword light was faster than the yellow light. Lin Yun didn’t know how much time had passed. There was no sense of time in the dream, and the concept of time was very vague here.

Finally, other lights appeared ahead.

The sword light pierced through the yellow light and charged toward an even more intense red light.

"Hmm!"

Lin Yun heard a muffled grunt, only then seeing the sword that was difficult to make out, thrust into the body of a man dressed in a large red robe.

It was also the moment he saw his face that his third-person perspective suddenly changed, and everything in front of him seemed much larger. Lin Yun found that he had become the drop of blood on the sword, and since the sword had wounded another person, he was now entering the body of that injured man through the wound.

Good God, I’ve entered the bodies of many women, but this is my first time entering a man’s.

What a weird and bizarre dream!

Lin Yun was somewhat intrigued, not in a hurry to wake up. Instead, he quickly adapted to his new identity as a drop of blood, entering another person’s body. He was accustomed to concentrating inward with his Divine Sense, but it was his first time entering another person’s body entirely.

This perspective was quite interesting.

He found his own blood was golden, while the original host’s blood was red.

Lin Yun thought that such a distinct color would soon be discovered, and just as he thought that, his color changed, instantly becoming red and quickly blending in with the rest of the blood, indistinguishable from the others.

Almost the second after this transformation was complete, Lin Yun felt a powerful Divine Sense scanning through the blood he had become.

But the owner of the Divine Sense didn’t seem to detect anything unusual. The Divine Sense swept by and quickly faded away.

Lin Yun then followed the direction of the blood circulation. He no longer had eyes or ears, yet he could mysteriously see the color of the blood and hear the sound of its flow.

Drumming sounds emanated from the distance. Lin Yun felt himself getting closer to the source of the sounds, carried along by the other blood cells, until he finally arrived at the source and shockingly discovered it was a shining heart.

The tremendous drumming sounds were coming from there. Lin Yun circulated inside the heart and came out, realizing that his "body" had expanded a lot. Originally, he was just a few drops of blood, but after one trip through the heart, he had assimilated the amount of blood in a test tube.

Being pushed out by the heart felt like a roller coaster ride, and the novel experience made Lin Yun somewhat excited.

Since it was just a dream, Lin Yun carried no psychological burden. He circulated within the body again, returned to the heart, then left, and the volume of blood under his control doubled once more.

"If this keeps up, won’t I turn all the blood into my own?"

Lin Yun found it amusing. His subconscious faintly sensed something strange, but driven by curiosity, he swiftly went around the heart several times. With each passing cycle, the volume of blood he assimilated doubled.

By the time he passed through the heart for the ninth time, he felt that a large part of the body’s blood had been assimilated by him.

This...

Feels like the Heart Demon Gu Worm, doesn’t it?

Lin Yun sensed that something was not right, and as he assimilated more and more blood, his perception grew sharper. At first, he could only feel the flow of blood and "see" the blood and heart, but now, the person’s organs were taking shape in his mind.

Moreover, Lin Yun saw a sphere of light. Although he hadn’t entered, Lin Yun had a feeling. This must be the soul of the unlucky fellow. Perhaps if his Divine Sense explored further, he’d gradually take over his soul.

Good God, isn’t this essentially the Heart Demon Gu Worm?

The Heart Demon is me?

Lin Yun felt he indeed had the potential to control this body, starting with the ears and eyes. Right now, he could only "see" inside the body and couldn’t sense anything outside.

Lin Yun quickly directed his blood toward the eyes and ears.

Although it was only a dream, Lin Yun did not deprive the unfortunate fellow of his senses; instead, he shared them.

Soon, Lin Yun gained a new perspective and the ability to hear.

Just as he started sharing the host’s hearing and vision, Lin Yun heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Dongfang Yao, I heard you were injured while contemplating the Path of Time?"

Lin Yun: "??!"
