The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 899 - 405 The True Great Emperor

Fortresses are always breached from within; if Lin Yun didn’t harbor those ill intentions, others wouldn’t have had the opportunity to strike!

Unfortunately, Qing Nu in love failed to see this, and only remained vigilant towards her sisters.

Lin Yun had no way to deal with her and had to take her along.

Fortunately, when he went to see Tai Bai this time, he truly had urgent matters to attend to, which left him with a clear conscience.

If there was any Great Dao that Lin Yun had not comprehended, it was the Path of Time.

The sword that Tai Bai possessed contained the Great Dao of Time, and after merely borrowing it previously, Lin Yun discovered its profound mysteries. Now, having experienced the journey through the Outer Realm, he gained a deeper understanding of both time and space.

Time and space are not the same concepts, yet they share a very close connection.

Time is the duration of space.

Like the current Lin Yun, and Old Third, they both can create a small world where they dictate all the laws, including the flow rate of time.

In his created world, he could speed up time internally, but for the people within the small world, a day would still consist of twenty-four hours.

However, time, although a concept of the Great Dao, merely presents itself as a scale.

Between the different worlds, the scale of time is unified.

For instance, as Lin Yun of the Great Wilderness World met with Tai Bai, the inhabitants of Sister Li’s small world were holding a sacrificial ceremony, and the Tentacle Monsters of the Outer Realm were repairing their injured tentacles.

If Lin Yun from the future were to travel to this moment, the small world’s inhabitants would still be performing the ceremony, and the Outer Realm Tentacle Monsters would be engaged in the same activities.

Even though they are in different spaces with varying rates of time flow.

Lin Yun, while not having verified this, deduced this conclusion through the evolution of the Great Dao.

This was far more impressive than before, where he could only guess without a method of verification. Now, as long as his conjecture related to the Great Dao, simply by focusing and sensing, he could find the answer.

Perhaps, this is the might of a Creator!

This insight was extremely important for Lin Yun, meaning his previous speculations were highly probable.

Because perhaps in the future, his world could never achieve victory over the Tentacle Monsters from the outside.

However, everyone may have the same river of time.

The difference lies merely in the river of time in the small worlds being shorter.

This provides an opportunity for the small worlds to turn the tides, to flow back to the end of time, and at their strongest moment, launch an assault on the great world. This is the best strategy when being continuously eroded by the greater world.

Because the small world’s combat power curve is continuously declining, only by returning to its peak can there be a chance to fight.

And thus the importance of this rule of time is shown.

I return to the state I was in history, and the enemy remains as they were in history, without getting stronger.

This is nothing short of cheating.

But...

Who knows how many small worlds there are out there, until now not a single one has managed to overthrow the Placental Great World—indicating rebellion is not an easy task.

So Lin Yun decided to study the Path of Time more, such as finding the "Placental Great World’s" weakest moment in time, using his ability to travel through time to get there, and then assassinating it...

This line of thought seems correct.

Tai Bai, seeing the arrival of two older siblings for the sole purpose of borrowing the Ancient Sword, couldn’t help but feel her heart thump; she had witnessed a glimpse of the future where she and this older brother were locked in a fierce battle when Lin Yun last borrowed the sword.

She didn’t know if Lin Yun had seen this segment, but anyway, if Qing Nu had seen it, she believed she would have met a terrible end.

Tai Bai had a generally good impression of her sisters; aside from Sister Qing being too jealous, Sister Li being too dull, and Sister Lin being too greedy, there were no other flaws.

In any case, Qing Nu must not be allowed to see the future scenarios.

That’s when Tai Bai found an excuse, saying, "Brother, I also wish to thoroughly comprehend this item, as it is fated with me. Perhaps I can gain an understanding of even more profound Dharmas."

What she implied was that she didn’t want to lend it to Lin Yun temporarily. It wouldn’t matter if Lin Yun saw it—he had already handled the sword last time, but what if Lin Yun used it for Qing Nu next time, wouldn’t that endanger herself?

Lin Yun’s gaze filled with confusion, recalling the last time he saw Tai Bai with the sword, her face flushed and the hilt still damp. Tai Bai claimed that the sword was found in the river—how could that be plausible?

It definitely felt like an attempt to cover up something fishy.

But if an Innate Goddess would do such a thing with a sword, that would be too disappointing.

Lin Yun shook his head, casting away the unhealthy thoughts from his mind. Clearly, no matter which era he was in, strong or weak, he never stopped on the path of GHS.

Cough cough.

"Xiao Wu, don’t worry, since you need it too, let’s use it together. After all, the sword is right here; we won’t interfere with each other," he said.

Having Lin Yun speak to that extent, Tai Bai truly had no way to refuse and could only reply, "Then let’s do that. It’s just that my dwelling is rather modest; I hope you two won’t mind."

"Whatever do you mean? Would your brother and sister ever look down on you?"

Lin Yun reached out and ruffled Tai Bai’s head with a mix of reproach—Take that, you little girl poking me with a sword!

Tai Bai’s hair was left disheveled from Lin Yun’s tousling, so she hurriedly turned her head, escaping Lin Yun’s notorious "head rubbing kill move," only to meet Qing Nu’s gaze.

How should she put it? It felt as if she wouldn’t survive another three days under Qing Nu’s watch.

Tai Bai felt wronged inside, what had she done wrong again?

Luckily, Lin Yun acted as a mediator. He pulled on Qing Nu’s hand, settled down cross-legged, and said, "Let’s just place the sword here and try to understand it properly."

Only then did Qing Nu let Tai Bai off the hook, but the warning in her eyes was strong.

Don’t get too close to your brother-in-law, okay? It’s dangerous!

Qing Nu, however, was unaware that this only stoked Tai Bai’s rebellious spirit.

Being the youngest, she had always been the most pampered, but now she was ruthlessly attacked by her sister over a man—how could she endure this?

Moreover, she had some special feelings for Lin Yun. It wasn’t just because he was the only man, but also because he always exuded a masculine charm.

Why should Qing Nu monopolize Lin Yun?!

That’s not fair!

At that moment, Tai Bai wanted to rebel.

But this was just a thought that had barely taken root and it hadn’t yet sprouted.

And then it was time to seriously meditate on the Dao.

Lin Yun reached out and grabbed the hilt of the Mysterious Ancient Sword, his fingers gently tracing the patterns on it, but he didn’t manage to perceive anything.

This world was one he and Qing Nu created together, from nothing into existence, by ceaselessly absorbing Chaos Qi, refining Chaos, and differentiating the Five Elements, which led to the current Great Wilderness World.

Yet, both he and Qing Nu knew nothing of this sword.

The sword’s ability to travel through past and future, it might have originated from the future.

However, Lin Yun felt that this possibility was not very likely.

Compared to emerging from the future, Lin Yun thought it more probable that it came from another world.

Perhaps there was a world like theirs that had also discovered the ultimate truth of the world, launched a counterattack, and after being mercilessly suppressed, only an Ancient Sword was left behind, which by chance arrived in their world.

This also made sense.

The Ancient Sword was not an object from this world, and no matter how Lin Yun calculated, he couldn’t deduce its origin. As he immersed himself in these calculations, the sword finally revealed its mysterious properties.

Images once again appeared in Lin Yun’s mind, different from the previous memory infusion which left his head buzzing, this time he saw slow-motion scenes that could be collectively referred to as apocalyptic images.

The ground split open, as did the heavens.

Lin Yun saw Cloud Dream Marsh, the dam he had built himself. Despite the numerous Formations reinforcing it, facing such catastrophic changes in the world, the so-called Formations naturally crumbled like paper, and after the dam’s collapse, the green waters began to spread everywhere, while underneath, a colossal entity finally burst forth from the earth.

It was a large ship, the one Lin Yun had once found just the tip of, but now seeing that ship again, Lin Yun understood instantly; the ship’s hull material was made from the body of the Sky-Piercing Constructing Wood.

Lin Yun still remembered the text he had seen before, "When the apocalypse arrives, the Divine Ark emerges..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The scene below clearly was the arrival of the apocalypse as prophesied in the Heavenly Book.

So, who built this ship?

Lin Yun also remembered what Zhen Li had said; she acquired a Stele that transformed into her treasured Jade Ruyi. After the Ruyi merged into her body, her Cultivation Level made rapid advances, soaring to the peak just below Innate.

Which means, that Stele might have been crafted from the essence of Zhen Li’s past life.

A ship, incorporating two Innate Gods...

No, that’s not right.

Lin Yun’s gaze pierced through the ship, seeing the roaring fires within; they felt familiar, likely to be his own.

Also, the water previously suppressing the outskirts, that clearly came from Qing Nu. The destructive nature of that water seemed not for annihilation but to conceal the existence of the ship.

A ship that utilized the powers of four major Innate Gods, could this mean that they had foreseen the coming apocalypse and prepared for it?

Ah, right, now I know it too, don’t I?

The vision continued, and as the world ruptured, Lin Yun once again saw familiar people; they were leading the Human Race and the Demon Tribe towards the Divine Ark, hoping to grasp a trace of survival amidst the collapsing heavens and earth.

But their power was limited, even those like Qian Qian and Lin Yu who had become gods, couldn’t wield much of their Divine Power facing such turbulence; they were less effective than Bai Jiaojiao and her sister, who transformed into Giant Dragons carrying more people.

When the situation became most dire, a myriad of sword lights burst onto the scene. Those sword beams didn’t harm anyone but, like a storm, swept people toward the Divine Ark.

Who could this sudden rescuer be?

Lin Yun already had a guess.

As expected, after sword lights dissipated, Tai Bai stood alone at the prow of the ship. Her temperament had changed significantly from before, and it was clear her Cultivation Level had grown stronger.

And in her hands, she held the long-lost Human Emperor’s Book.

At that moment, Lin Yun suddenly understood.

The one prophesied to become a Great Emperor in the Heavenly Book was actually Tai Bai...
