The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 160: Demonic Bloodline?

Lin Yun felt he was perhaps part of a performance called "The Return of the Tycoon."

The White Tiger and Azure Dragon were within him, and now there was an ancient Thunderbolt born with the universe within him, too. According to the usual pattern, as ancient beings gradually awakened, there must be a major plot unfolding.

But suddenly, Lin Yun had a bizarre thought and asked, "So, you’re the White Tiger’s mom?"

Golden Thunderbolt: "..."

The thought processes of mortals really are unfathomable.

"The Four Sacred Beasts and I were all born from this world. According to your mortal understanding, we should be considered siblings, and our parents are the heaven and earth."

"Master? Little Gold?"

As Lin Yun conversed with the Golden Thunderbolt, Xiao Qing finally noticed them.

She set aside the very amusing White Tiger Jade Carving and quickly swam up to the Golden Thunderbolt.

"Did the master release you?"

"I’m not called Little Gold."

The Golden Thunderbolt always found naming by color to be quite stupid. Wasn’t it very easy to encounter name collisions?

A certain Green Snake thought the same.

"Is it because you don’t have a master to name you? That’s pitiful."

"..."

Out of consideration for Xiao Qing’s innocence, the Golden Thunderbolt forgave her.

Lin Yun’s Divine Sense, meanwhile, was observing the jade pendant. He asked Xiao Qing, "When did this thing come in?"

"Xiao Bai has been here for a long time, but it can’t speak."

Xiao Qing happily said that the place was getting more and more bustling, and her friends were increasing too.

Although Xiao Bai couldn’t speak and wasn’t able to communicate through thoughts, she could feel a sense of closeness.

Lin Yun: "..."

When it came to naming, Xiao Qing really did follow her own whims.

Seeing her goofy and innocent appearance, she likely knew nothing. Lin Yun decided to ask Little Gold, well, it’s not called Little Gold.

"You just said that the White Tiger Spirit is the White Tiger, so what state is it in now?"

"It’s still asleep, probably because it hasn’t met the condition for awakening."

"Awakening..."

Lin Yun pondered quietly in his heart.

Although he was somewhat bewildered about the emergence of this thing in his Dantian, what he was best at was making bold assumptions.

Firstly, this jade had something to do with Lin Yu. According to Hu Yuling, parents generally wouldn’t let their children wear White Tiger ornaments. So let’s be bolder—perhaps Lin Yu didn’t have any parents, and this White Tiger Jade Carving was her accompanying treasure from birth.

Perhaps the body of a mortal couldn’t bear the soul of a Sacred Beast, which is why it existed in the form of a treasure beside Lin Yu.

Was Lin Yu perhaps not mortal, but a reincarnation of the White Tiger?

Even if not, she must have been a body chosen by the White Tiger. But since her cultivation level was inadequate, the White Tiger remained unable to awaken.

So, if one day the White Tiger met the condition for awakening, would it devour Lin Yu’s soul, or would the two merge?

At that time, would Lin Yu still be herself, or the White Tiger?

This question gave Lin Yun a headache.

Sometimes he would wonder if he inherited the memories of Lin Yun, was he himself, or the original Lin Yun?

Fortunately, the original owner’s memories were just a few fragments, preventing Lin Yun from doubting his own identity.

But without a doubt, Lin Yu wouldn’t be able to escape this predicament.

After much thought, it became somewhat clearer how the jade came into his possession.

Since it was an accompanying object to Lin Yu, it must have had the property of being impossible to drop or lose. Could it be that when it returned, Lin Yun just happened to be not far from Lin Yu, hence the slight deviation in positioning?

That was also a possibility, just like how the Flower Fairy’s Exquisite Heart once accidentally entered his Dantian.

Lin Yun felt increasingly that his identity was not simple, yet as a mid-level cultivator often dealing with upper-class powerhouses was one thing, now his everyday interactions were with divine beings.

"Let’s not talk about these things for now. You can leave tomorrow, just follow the plan we agreed upon."

"Understood."

Golden Thunderbolt had thought Lin Yun would continue to ask about the White Tiger, which would have put it in a difficult position. There were secrets of the Sacred Beasts that it knew but couldn’t reveal too much of, as this was predestined by fate.

It was for the best that Lin Yun didn’t ask.

"We may not meet again for some time, and I don’t have much to give you. Xiao Qing mentioned that the Spiritual Liquid inside me is beneficial for you, so I’m giving this to you now."

With his divine sense, Lin Yun drew a large mass of Spiritual Liquid and handed it over to Golden Thunderbolt—it amounted to at least twenty drops.

Without the Spiritually abundant environment of the Holy Spring Lake’s depths, Xiao Qing could only condense about twenty-four drops per day. This was tantamount to giving away all of Xiao Qing’s daily production.

For Golden Thunderbolt, this was equivalent to a fortune.

"All of this, you’re giving it to me?"

"I can recover with some rest, it’s not a problem, take it."

"You really are a good person!"

For a moment, Golden Thunderbolt truly didn’t want to leave.

"There is genuine kindness in the Mortal Realm. But once you go, be careful, and don’t get caught again."

Golden Thunderbolt was close to tears, touched by the kindness.

Lin Yun: I wonder if these twenty drops of Spiritual Liquid will suffice as bait. I don’t want to give too much in case Xiao Qing gets jealous...

Lin Yun’s emotional play worked so well that although Golden Thunderbolt could have left, it obediently remained inside Lin Yun’s Dantian.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yun resumed his usual cultivation practice.

He always felt time was short and that he needed to be diligent.

The night deepened, and rows of dark clouds covered the sky above Purple Cloud Mountain, a common sight that did not attract undue attention from the patrolling disciples.

In a secluded courtyard, Hu Yuling wrapped herself in a black robe.

Not only did the robe conceal her face, but it also hid her figure and prevented any of her aura from leaking out.

In her study, Hu Yuling fiddled with a few books on a bookshelf, which triggered hidden runes that flashed momentarily before returning to normal, revealing a passage leading underground before her eyes.

Descusting slowly, Hu Yuling walked down, and after a while, the study returned to its original condition.

At the bottom of the pathway, in the darkness, Hu Yuling lit a stick of incense, chanting incomprehensible syllables. The meaning was unclear, but as she chanted, an ancient and desolate aura permeated the underground space.

The smoke from the incense gradually took on the form of a person.

This person’s attire was identical to Hu Yuling’s, also wrapped in a black robe.

"Fellow Daoist Hu Feng, what urgent matter prompts you to summon me like this?"

The voice was hoarse and ethereal, indistinguishable as to whether it was from a man or a woman, young or old.

Hu Yuling slowly said, "I have recently discovered a peculiar individual who might possess the Demonic Bloodline."

"Is this true?"

The figure in the black robe seemed to be particularly excited, murmuring, "The Demon Race is blocked by the Four Spirits and cannot enter this world. If someone from within breaks through the barriers of the Four Spirits, the day the Demon Race reigns over this world is not far. At last, our chance to return to the Demon Race has come."

After the excitement, he asked, "Who possesses the Demonic Bloodline?"

"Lin Yun, a new disciple recently taken in by Fang Yu of the Shenxiao Sect."

ps: The plea for subscriptions is directed at the readers of pirated versions, haha. If you legit readers have made it here, it means you’ve subscribed, and I sincerely thank you. However, the number of subscriptions is really low at the moment, with only 1700 first orders, which is 800 short of my small goal. I have a collection of 41,000, some with only 20,000 collections have already reached these numbers, making it quite embarrassing for me... So, readers of pirated versions, if you could subscribe even for just a Chapter or two, at only one dime each...
