The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 178: The Correct Way to Use Sisters

The ground had no restrictions, so Lin Yun began to diligently burrow downward.

However, there was a limit to what Divine Sense could do, and after probing merely ten feet down, Lin Yun felt his spirit grow weary and couldn’t go any further.

This sensation was much more difficult than when he had first explored Holy Spring Lake, perhaps because the attributes were not as well-matched, or maybe because Divine Sense couldn’t venture too far from the body.

Yet, his current Divine Sense, if released outward as usual, should have extended about fifty feet, but here it had been greatly diminished, despite having detected no restrictions. This perhaps could indirectly confirm his initial intuition was correct.

There truly were mysteries beneath the ground.

This was the first time Lin Yun had ever felt spiritual fatigue; he collapsed and immediately fell asleep.

This was also the first time he had slept since learning Divine Cultivation, as all of his previous slumbers had been replaced by cultivation.

No sooner had he fallen asleep than Lin Yun began to dream; he dreamt of Dongfang Hongyue, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, so naturally, their meeting sparked immediate passion. However, Dongfang Hongyue was quite restless, constantly striving to take control, while Lin Yun was not so easily overpowered and kept her firmly subdued.

While Lin Yun was dreaming, the Flower Fairy had already arrived at Purple Cloud Mountain.

Out of courtesy, after meeting with the Elder managing the mountain gate, she also requested to visit the Sect Master. Upon learning the Sect Master was too busy to meet, she completed the formalities and was then guided by a Shenxiao Sect disciple to find Lin Yu.

"Sister Yu."

"Sister Hua!"

As soon as they saw each other, they excitedly embraced and jumped around, lacking the composure expected of fairy-like beings.

After the excitement, the Flower Fairy relaxed her hug slightly and looked at Lin Yu’s face, saying, "So many years have passed, and you haven’t changed at all."

"You, on the other hand, have become more beautiful, with an aura of immortality about you. It seems your cultivation level has greatly improved, bringing you one step closer to the Great Dao."

"If Sister were still able to cultivate, with your Dao heart, you would surely progress faster than I."

The Flower Fairy’s words contained flattery, but they were not empty praise.

She had indeed suppressed her own breakthrough pace over the years, but in terms of Dao heart, Lin Yu was truly stronger. If it weren’t for those past events, Lin Yu might have become the youngest cultivator to reach the Celestial Knowing Realm.

At this point, she also felt a tinge of sadness, but it was Lin Yu, now devoid of cultivation, who consoled her.

"There’s no need for sorrow on my behalf; blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand. What I have experienced may not be a misfortune after all. At least, from being a high and mighty cultivator to regressing into a complete mortal, I have instead gained a clearer understanding of life’s true essence."

The Flower Fairy couldn’t help but express her confusion, "Life’s true essence?"

Lin Yu nodded.

"All cultivators voice their pursuit of the Dao, striving for the supreme state. I used to think the same way, but after my path was severed, I began to ponder what I was pursuing such a supreme state for."

The Flower Fairy listened silently, not interrupting.

Lin Yu continued, "The original purpose was probably to weed out the strong and support the weak, to uphold justice. But when traveling the world, I discovered that the matters of this world are far from being as clearly defined as good and evil, or right and wrong.

Later on, I wanted to pursue the supreme state to accomplish what others before me couldn’t. I was too naive back then; human life is finite, while the Great Dao is limitless. To chase the limitless with the finite is folly."

The Flower Fairy: "..."

Her own Dao heart also began to waver.

Indeed, throughout history, how many have sought the Great Dao without a single one truly attaining it.

Even the cultivators themselves couldn’t define what attaining the Dao meant, holding only a vague concept—probably something akin to the Defiant Heavenly Realm.

What lies beyond the Defiant Heavenly Realm, one can only know upon reaching it.

However, cultivators’ desire for cultivation is incredibly pure. Once one begins the path, unless it is cut off, the cultivator will never give up the pursuit of the Great Dao. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

There is even the saying that if one understands the Dao in the morning, dying in the evening is acceptable.

"It seems that you have truly experienced much these past years."

Lin Yu nodded her head and spoke so much, all to lead into the topic that was to come!

"The more than a decade I have lived as a mortal was more fulfilling than the decades I spent pursuing the Great Dao. Though the days when I wielded my sword across the lands were carefree, returning to the mundane bliss of family and domesticity was also a kind of happiness."

Flower Fairy: "..."

She had no way to follow that.

"It was also during these years that I adopted a child."

At last, after so much preamble, Lin Yu had finally arrived at the main subject.

It wasn’t appropriate to say too much in a letter before, but now that Flower Fairy had arrived, the two could discuss matters face to face.

Lin Yu began to talk about how Lin Yun had been well-behaved, sensible, kind, honest, simple, and harmless, as well as gentle and considerate, which immediately filled Flower Fairy’s mind with question marks.

Ah, that Lin Yun? Are you sure you are talking about Lin Yun?

Kind and gentle she wouldn’t deny, and despite thinking of Lin Yun as an iron scum man, Flower Fairy couldn’t deny that deep down, Lin Yun was gentle, but...

Simple and harmless?

False!

Sister Yu, Lin Yun might not be your good big son!

Lin Yu explained that Lin Yun had gone to the Demon Sect and lost his memory, leading to some changes in his temperament, but that Lin Yun himself was still very good.

It was just that he seemed to have developed some thoughts towards her that he shouldn’t, and that had led her to seek help reluctantly.

Flower Fairy became entangled for a moment.

From her perspective as an outsider, it was very possible that Lin Yun was not the same child Lin Yu had once cared for.

If Lin Yun was not, then Lin Yu’s well-behaved child might have already passed away.

That truth might be a bit too cruel, which was why Flower Fairy could not bring herself to be too certain in her speech.

A young person shouldn’t take rumors as truth, and one must speak based on evidence.

"Little Flower, I no longer have too many attachments in the mortal world. My master has passed away, and my disciple Wan Qiu now also possesses a respectable level of cultivation, so there’s nothing to worry about. The only one I’m concerned about is Lin Yun. Although his root bone is excellent, he has taken shortcuts in his cultivation. He has shallow worldly experiences, lacks depth in experience, and now he seems to have developed affection for me that he shouldn’t have."

Flower Fairy: "..."

She had trouble with that last statement.

"Sister Yu is beautiful, and Lin Yun’s admiration for her in his youthful infatuation is only natural."

There was a hint of sourness in that remark, but Lin Yu didn’t notice it. How would she consider that Flower Fairy might be jealous? She continued to speak of her request self-absorbedly.

"I just want to ask you to do this for me..."

Lin Yu had written about it in her letter, but now that she was face-to-face with Flower Fairy, she found herself somewhat unable to speak.

Indeed, asking her close girlfriend to flirt with her adopted son was truly an awkward request, but it was the only solution Lin Yu had at the moment.

It was perfect timing, as she wanted Lin Yun to be stronger when it came to matters of the heart, hoping Flower Fairy would teach Lin Yun a lesson.

She couldn’t very well step into the ring herself, and she felt guilty for having to ask her girlfriend to take on such a task.

"I apologize, I’ve said something very rude."

Lin Yu apologized sincerely to Flower Fairy, who waved her hand and laughed, "Sister Yu, you might not know, but actually, I’ve already met Lin Yun long ago..."

"Huh?"
