The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 900 - 406: The Origin of the Sword
Lin Yun truly did not expect that, although there were five candidates for the battle amongst the Four Kings, in the end, no one was elected...
It was simply absurd.
However, the essence of the battle of the Four Kings is actually just an experiment; it is about Tai Bai verifying whether to transcend to the highest realm, one needs several equally strong contenders to kill and devour each other, and only then can one succeed.
Whether it was the battle of the Four Kings before or the battle of the Divine Spirits, they were all just experimental subjects in the hands of Tai Bai.
It’s just that they never realized they were test subjects, fighting so vehemently.
Clearly, Tai Bai has already obtained the result she wanted, having devoured the four great source energies apart from her own, and now, she indeed has surpassed the level of the Innate Gods and can truly be considered a Heavenly Emperor.
Moreover, with the destiny-shaping Sacred Objects of The Four Sacred Beasts in hand, along with the Human’s Book that she has always kept hidden, she can also be said to have gained the recognition of Heavenly Dao.
Rather, she forced the Heavenly Dao to recognize her, if it did not obey, Tai Bai could even slay the Heavenly Dao itself.
Lin Yun, looking at Tai Bai, who now had a charm and temperament surpassing that of the past, also felt somewhat complex emotions.
She had become stronger, but she no longer possessed her previous liveliness and cuteness. At a glance, she appeared like a piece of cold steel.
Perhaps, it is ruthlessness that is the real reason for her increase in strength.
The vision stopped abruptly at this point, and Lin Yun could no longer see any more of the content. Considering that at the moment of the apocalypse in the future, since Tai Bai has already made her breakthrough and even lent her assistance, there probably won’t be much of a problem.
For Lin Yun, this made him even more determined in his own thoughts.
If the future is destined for destruction, then he must change everything now, in the present.
"Brother, have you attained enlightenment?"
Tai Bai, noticing that Lin Yun had returned to his senses, nervously asked.
She was worried that Lin Yun had seen something about her again, it would be fine if it was normal, but if it were like the previous time, with some embarrassing scenes, she would not be able to withstand it.
But Tai Bai was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she could only ask if he had attained enlightenment.
Lin Yun nodded slightly, saying, "I’ve realized a little."
Every time the flow of time occurs, Lin Yun can see the river of time. He had previously been severely swept away by the river of time and naturally became more sensitive to its aura. Now, with the aid of the Mysterious Ancient Sword helping him to comprehend it, Lin Yun’s perception of the Great Dao of Time also deepened.
He felt that he just needed to concentrate and calm his mind, without the help of the Mysterious Ancient Sword, he could still connect to the river of time.
"Let me try it."
Tai Bai rushed to grab the Ancient Sword before Qing Nu, simply to prevent Qing Nu from obtaining the sword before her.
Actually, she just wanted to make a gesture. She could see the future events every day, once a day, no more no less. As for today, she has already seen the future events, she won’t see them again, but by pretending, she can indefinitely prolong Qing Nu’s enlightenment time.
However, this time, Tai Bai miscalculated.
Maybe it’s because Lin Yun had touched it, the Ancient Sword refreshed her records. When Tai Bai held the sword, images appeared before her eyes once again.
She saw herself standing in endless darkness, where there was only nothingness as far as her eyes could see.
Just from looking at the scene she could feel her own loneliness, helplessness.
In this world, there were no stars, nor light, nothing at all.
But Tai Bai could feel that she was the only one in existence, with a single thought, she could create everything.
Yet, the herself in the image chose not to do so, instead, she created a ball of intense fire, and then, she jumped into the flames, and soon, she was consumed by the fire, in her place, an ancient-looking Longsword appeared...
The image ended abruptly here, yet Tai Bai was greatly shocked.
"I, turned myself into a sword?"
What shocked Tai Bai even more was that the sword she turned into seemed to be right in front of her eyes.
"Is this myself?"
Tai Bai was so shocked she couldn’t even speak; her emotions were incredibly complex.
The longsword before her seemed to be telling her that all the scenes she saw would happen in the future. That is to say, she would become sworn enemies with her sisters, engage in a life-and-death struggle with Lin Yun, and accidentally experience a mishap...
But at the end of the story, it seemed that she had become the strongest, yet she chose to transform herself into a sword.
If this sword was her future self, why was it in her hands now?
Tai Bai’s little head couldn’t figure out the problem at the moment, and she hesitated whether to tell Lin Yun and Qing Nu about this.
As she was pondering, Lin Yun took the sword back.
Watching Lin Yun caress the sword’s blade, Tai Bai thought about the scenes she saw and couldn’t help but feel as though Lin Yun was caressing her. She was immediately overcome with embarrassment and shame, and quickly snatched the sword back.
"You’ve already grasped the Great Dao, what are you touching randomly for?"
Tai Bai said with embarrassment and annoyance. Lin Yun scratched his head, he had only taken the sword back because he noticed Tai Bai seemed a bit distracted, to prevent her from being mentally disturbed during her Dao enlightenment.
Having taken it back, he just casually touched it, not knowing Tai Bai would react so strongly, which he found truly strange.
"I’m just curious, what did you see?"
"I didn’t see anything!"
With a guilty conscience, Tai Bai was initially hesitant to speak, but now she was so provoked that she simply chose to remain silent.
Lin Yun didn’t press further, seeing how much Tai Bai cared about this sword, he returned it to her again.
He wasn’t the type to snatch away his sister’s opportunity.
Qing Nu saw that both Lin Yun and Tai Bai needed to touch the Ancient Sword to gain insights, so she reached out and touched it as well, but after a while, she saw nothing.
However, by the looks of Lin Yun and Tai Bai, both seemed to have seen something. Why, out of the three, was she the only one who saw nothing during their Dao enlightenment?
Qing Nu felt puzzled in her heart but quietly called the remaining two younger sisters over.
As soon as they arrived, Tai Bai’s home became much livelier. Tai Bai used to complain about the lack of excitement at home, but now she wished there was nobody else there.
The Third Elder and Fourth Elder came upon hearing the news, and they took Tai Bai’s longsword to play with it without any courtesy. Ever since Tai Bai decided that this sword was her true self, she had become very peculiar.
Now, as the Third and Fourth Elders played with the sword without any restraint, Tai Bai’s face kept blushing.
Clearly, they didn’t gain any insights from this sword either.
Qing Nu’s gaze involuntarily swept back and forth between Lin Yun and Tai Bai.
"Big sister, what are you looking at?"
Tai Bai felt somewhat panicked under Qing Nu’s gaze, her face flushed and her eyes darting away, which made Qing Nu even more suspicious.
"I’m wondering, why is it that with this sword of unknown origin, only you and Ah Yun have discerned something different? Could it be that there’s some connection between this sword and you both?"
If there’s a special relationship between the sword and the two of them, rounding it up means that there is a special relationship between Lin Yun and Tai Bai.
Suddenly, Qing Nu’s sense of crisis intensified.
The Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder are both mischievous!
Fortunately, the Third Elder has a pure and kind nature, and she is the sister Qing Nu feels most at ease with.
When she falls asleep again later, she’ll have her keep an eye on the two sisters...
Qing Nu was already considering what would happen after she fell asleep again, unaware that, between the Fourth Elder and Fifth Elder, one simply speaks in a way that leads to misunderstandings while the other just saw something attractive in the future.
Their relationship with Lin Yun had no substantial breakthrough.
Only the Third Elder had her boundaries repeatedly crossed by Lin Yun, and now, they were studying the creation of a new race...
