The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 696 - 204: Ice and Fire Dual Realm

All beginnings are hard, but once the first step is taken, the road ahead becomes much easier.

Lin Yun sensed the presence of the moon at dusk and in a flash of thought, he drew in a breath of Taiyin Divine Power.

As soon as the Taiyin Divine Power entered his body, Lin Yun suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, as if the Spiritual Liquid within him was about to freeze.

Danger!

The Taiyin Divine Power might not seem as terrifying as the Sun God Divine Power, but in reality, they are of the same caliber.

It was Lin Yun’s first time absorbing it into his body, and of course, it went to his head.

His hair even grew a layer of white frost as the temperature around him also started to drop.

Noticing that something was amiss, Lin Yun hastily commanded his Golden Fire Lotus to incinerate the wisp of Taiyin Divine Power, but as soon as the Fire Lotus came near, its fluttering petals suddenly began to slow down.

This is bad!

He didn’t expect that just a wisp of Taiyin Divine Power would be too much for his Lifebound Flame to handle.

Seeing the danger of being frozen solid, Lin Yun steeled his heart.

"Yin and Yang make the Dao, if I draw in a breath of Sun God Divine Power, it should even things out, right?"

This was a desperate situation, back against the wall, and he could only do his best.

Absorbing the Sun God Divine Power was simpler than absorbing the Taiyin Divine Power. Lin Yun didn’t even need to visualize it; it was as if the sun was in his heart. With a single thought, a wisp of Sun God Divine Power was drawn over and entered Lin Yun’s body.

Lin Yun drove this wisp of Sun God Divine Power to touch the Taiyin Divine Power, hoping to fuse them, or at least neutralize them if fusion was not possible.

As long as it didn’t freeze me to death, it would be fine.

But the fusion and neutralization Lin Yun was hoping for didn’t happen. The two powers, like water and fire, were incompatible, and upon contact, both formerly docile divine powers instantly erupted.

The Taiyin Divine Power burst forth in a dazzling blue light causing Lin Yun to shiver sharply, feeling as if he was about to freeze to death.

The Sun God Divine Power wasn’t to be outdone either; it released a passionate red color, and Lin Yun felt as if he had fallen into a furnace, about to burn up.

The Taiyin Divine Power and Sun God Divine Power were either overpowering each other in turns, and with each switch, Lin Yun also felt the intense cold and heat alternate.

Is this what they call the Ice and Fire Dual Realm?

The force is strong.

This feels like going mad from cultivation, and Lin Yun could only endure it with his physical strength. Thankfully, he had absorbed only a wisp; any more than that might have led to an explosion.

Perhaps he had spent too much time with Qian Qian and been contaminated with her foul-mouthed attribute, just as Lin Yun was thanking his luck that the situation was still controllable, the two distinctly different divine powers in his Dantian suddenly began to rotate.

This was after struggling against each other, they finally reached a state of balance.

But before Lin Yun could rejoice, he sensed a wisp of blue Taiyin Divine Power being sucked into his body, freezing half of him.

Then came a wisp of red Sun God Divine Power, and half of his body felt like it was on fire.

Lin Yun: "..."

Is this the ultimate form of the Ice and Fire Dual Realm?

Lin Yun didn’t know that even Su’e and Dongfang Yao didn’t dare to embrace both powers entirely.

Absorbing either the Sun God Divine Power or the Taiyin Divine Power would cause one to feel hot or cold at the start, but as the body slowly adapted to the Divine Power, it would naturally continue to cultivate.

A body of god is far stronger than a Mortal’s body; hence, even if it is ignited by the Sun God Divine Power, there is no great danger.

But for Mortals, it’s different, which is why Yuxuan did not allow Lin Yun to absorb the Sun God Divine Power.

But Lin Yun grossly underestimated the might of the Sun and Moon Divine Powers. The most outrageous part was that he wasn’t just courting one, but both at the same time.

Luckily, this was at dusk, the sun had not yet set, and the moon had not yet risen, the Sun Moon Divine Power reached a remarkable balance.

Gradually, the blue and red colors within Lin Yun’s body changed from their original single wisps to their current distinct clusters.

The two clusters of divine power tangled together, looking a bit like the Yin Yang Fish in a Taiji diagram. The problem was that as time passed, more and more of the blue power was entering, and less and less of the red.

Gradually, the confrontation between the two gaseous entities shifted from an even split to a ratio of six-to-four, then to seven-to-three, until at last, the red color of the Sun God Divine Power was completely enveloped by the blue of the Taiyin Divine Power.

And so Lin Yun was no longer subjected to alternating heat and cold; he was completely frozen.

"I’m not going to accidentally kill myself while cultivating, am I?"

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have hidden from Xiao Qing to practice on his own.

"I guess I’m really not cut out for cultivation; I should leave it to Xiao Qing and her automatic training!"

Lin Yun silently lit a candle for himself. Previously, it was always Xiao Qing doing the cultivation work. He had thought that he could handle absorbing divine powers himself, but with one simple act, he had dug his own pit.

As night fell and the sun completely set, the moon rose in the east, and within Lin Yun’s body, the blue light completely overwhelmed the red.

Furthermore, as the moon appeared, an endless stream of blue light flowed into Lin Yun’s body, and the cultivation method could not be stopped.

Lin Yun: "..."

The cultivation methods I practice seem to have a mind of their own, like this Taiyin Divine Power, which is automatically gathering more of itself.

What can I do?

I hope I’ll be okay.

Lin Yun could no longer resist and just remained frozen.

As he grew accustomed to the cold, it didn’t bother him as much.

On the boat, Xiao Qing noticed that the moonlight not far away was forming a column of light and was quite curious.

She could sense that it was her master cultivating.

"Master is so impressive!"

Xiao Qing also tried to imitate Lin Yun in drawing the moonlight, but even though the moonlight was everywhere, she had no idea how to absorb it.

And so Xiao Qing went out in search of the moonlight to absorb it, looking every bit the fool.

Finding Xiao Qing and Lin Yun gone, Yuan Zihe suddenly became restless.

She could sense the presence of the seagrass, and with Zhenli, the young Daoist nun, at such a low cultivation level, as long as she dealt with her, she still had a chance to escape.

"Seagrass, seagrass, if you don’t take action now, when will you?"

The seagrass entwining Zhenli’s hand suddenly reacted.

Yuan Zihe urged again, "Take care of this Daoist nun, and come quickly to untie me."

Although the seagrass’s combat ability was not strong, this was relative to other mighty sea beasts; handling a weak young Daoist nun like Zhenli wasn’t very difficult.

Especially when Zhenli was unguarded, the seagrass could grow instantly, then entangle Zhenli. As long as it suffocated her for a while, Zhenli would be done for.

That was what Yuan Zihe meant by "taking care of."

At such a critical moment of life and death, Yuan Zihe certainly would not show the mercy of a kind-hearted woman.

However, for the first time, the seagrass refused Yuan Zihe’s command.

"She is my friend, I cannot kill her."

Yuan Zihe: "..."

It was the first time she had seen a sea beast that disobeyed orders.

Yuan Zihe was stunned for a moment, and although somewhat surprised, she did not force the seagrass.

If she really forced it, she wasn’t without means; after all, the seagrass was a sea beast she had trained, and with just one thought from her, it would die on the spot.

But killing the seagrass now served no benefit to her situation.

Yuan Zihe had no choice but to compromise, "You don’t have to kill her, just tie her up."

The seagrass was still somewhat conflicted, but thinking that it could spare Zhenli, decided to comply.

"I’m sorry, my friend."

Seagrass conveyed this message in Zhenli’s mind, and the next second, the seagrass wrapped around Zhenli’s arm grew instantly, binding both of Zhenli’s hands together.

Next were Zhenli’s legs.

Zhenli struggled with all her might. She said to the seagrass with some sadness, "I know you’re desperate to save your master, but Lin Yun won’t kill your owner."

The seagrass didn’t respond, but severed the part of it that was binding Zhenli.

Zhenli’s heart ached once again.

This was the second time.

She hadn’t been out of the Taiqing Daoist Temple for long, and this was already the second time this had happened to her.

The first time was being held hostage by Gao Qing, whom she had helped; this time, it was being tied up by the seagrass she had saved.

Could it really be her fault for being too kind-hearted?

Zhen Li didn’t give up. She struggled fiercely, and the Classic of Mountains and Seas in her arms dropped to the ground as she did.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

Yuan Zihe suddenly overjoyed.

It was like fortune had knocked twice at her door!

She had thought she missed the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but she hadn’t expected it to coincide with being in Zhenli’s possession, and with her own trained seagrass by Zhenli’s side.

This must be the arrangement of fate!

Could it be that I am the girl with the Heavenly Mandate?

Yuan Zihe became excited, as if the Classic of Mountains and Seas was within easy reach.

The seagrass was conflicted but came over to try and free Yuan Zihe’s bonds.

However, the rope that bound Yuan Zihe was not an ordinary rope but a transformed Divine Artifact.

Divine Artifacts have spirits; how could they be easily broken free?

Qiaobian understood this very well. If it dared to let Yuan Zihe escape today, Lin Yun might burn it for who knows how long, and the next time danger arose, it might be the next Divine Artifact to be sacrificed.

The Chaos Pearl was not even cold in its grave!

It didn’t want to end up like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, being used for array preparations and then being forgotten by its master.

That would be the most tragic thing.

So...

Did a mere seagrass think it could just take Yuan Zihe?

Has it asked for my opinion?

Qiaobian was well-behaved in front of Lin Yun but was not easy to bully in front of others.

However, what Qiaobian didn’t expect was that instead of coming to untie Yuan Zihe, the seagrass rolled her up and jumped into the water.

"And the Classic of Mountains and Seas!"

Under Yuan Zihe’s command, the seagrass extended some of its parts to roll up the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Under normal circumstances, the Classic of Mountains and Seas certainly wouldn’t be carried off by an ordinary sea beast, but since they had been abandoned together before, it was the seagrass that comforted it, allowing the seagrass to successfully acquire the Classic of Mountains and Seas and jump into Cloud Dream Marsh with Yuan Zihe.

Qiaobian: "..."

After all, it was just a weapon, and although it had its own thoughts, there was a limit to what it could do. Like in the current situation, it didn’t have the power to take down Yuan Zihe alone and could only watch as the seagrass took her and the rope away.

Once Yuan Zihe reached the water, it was like coming home; even though the strange ropes on her made it impossible to untie herself, she could still control the water.

The ropes on her body don’t matter; she might as well return as she was!

With three days left, she must stop her brother from taking risks!
