Chapter 1 I Really Don't Want to Be an Undercover
翻訳者: 549690339
My name is Lin Yun, just an average worker, who never would have guessed that one day, after waking up from sleep, I'd have crossed over into the Cultivation World and become an eighteen-year-old youth.
Everyone said I had excellent foundation and the potential of an Immortal Emperor. I thought my life from then on would be about becoming a bigshot, marrying the Saintess, and living a carefree, immortal life. However, as the original owner's memories awakened, I discovered...
I, Lin Yun, am an undercover agent.
"That's bullshit! Who makes a disciple with such exceptional talent go undercover!"
In the quiet room designated for secluded cultivation, Lin Yun angrily pounded on the cushion beneath him, yet that sequence of memory emerged in his mind again.
"The people from the Demon Sect will never imagine that our Sword Sect would be willing to let you, with your Innate Sword Body, go undercover. With your talent, you will definitely be highly valued in the future, becoming a core disciple within the Demon Sect. Then, with your help from the inside and our support from the outside, exterminating the Demon Sect will be just a matter of time."
Damn, that sounded logical and convincing.
So, the original owner obediently joined the Demon Sect and was smoothly taken as a direct disciple by an Elder Green Lotus from the Green Lotus Sect, but for three years, the original owner stayed confined in Green Bamboo Villa, only able to cultivate every day without the freedom to move about.
Perhaps it was too stifling, the original owner eventually suffered from cultivation deviation, died on the spot and all his cultivation dissipated, leaving Lin Yun to take over the mess.
Lin Yun only lasted fifteen days before he started to get restless.
Without even the chance to play Blue Moon, how did the original owner hold on for three years before suffering from cultivation deviation?
Every day, Lin Yun could only sit in meditation and daydream, and when he was utterly bored, he talked to himself.
Recently, his index fingernail began to heat up, a signal that the liaison of the Sword Sect wanted contact.
Probably because there had been no contact for three years, they were worried Lin Yun had defected, so the signals in recent days had become increasingly frequent.
The previous Lin Yun had never thought about defecting, the current Lin Yun had never thought about loyalty.
Being an undercover is so dangerous, what if it gets exposed? This is the Demon Sect we're talking about; wouldn't they arrange all eighteen kinds of torture for him?
Feeling his finger continuously heating up, Lin Yun couldn't help but ponder in his heart how to destroy this heat-generating magical treasure.
This magical treasure was called Mutual Awareness, made using the wings of a special cicada, and because it was as thin as a cicada's wing, it was completely inconspicuous on top of the fingernails. And for those who each possessed a piece of the cicada's wings, a mere thought would send a signal to the other, causing the finger to heat up.
Unfortunately, this device didn't allow direct conversation, or else, Lin Yun would really like to have this thing that burned him daily to open up sound communication.
Just as he was fiddling with his fingers, another person suddenly appeared in the room.
Fuck, how come this person is like a ghost, scaring the shit out of me!
Lin Yun furiously complained internally, but upon seeing the person clearly, he immediately greeted respectfully, "Master."
This was Lin Yun's cheap master, Elder Green Lotus. Elder Green Lotus was a middle-aged man who liked to dress in green from head to toe, even his crown was green.
Elder Green Lotus had a white face without a beard, and his smile was somewhat similar to that of Eunuch Cao.
"Disciple, how is your cultivation lately?"
There was Eunuch Cao's smile again; if it weren't for the fact he wasn't holding his fingers in a slender pose, Lin Yun almost wanted to respond in a high-pitched voice.
"Disciple has encountered some problems in recent cultivation, all of my cultivation has dissipated."
Lin Yun knew he couldn't hide the changes in his cultivation level, so he might as well be upfront about it.
After hearing this, Elder Green Lotus showed a surprised and delighted look and said, "It's good that you've lost it. This is precisely the profound mystery of the Formless Transformation Method, and in terms of timing, it's also just right."
"Timing?"
Lin Yun instinctively sensed something ominous, and seeing Lin Yun's confusion, Elder Green Lotus explained, "At this point, I can speak frankly with you. In half a month, I am planning to offer you to the Red Lotus Demon Lord."
Lin Yun: "????"
Unaware of the confusion written all over Lin Yun's face, Elder Green Lotus continued, "The Green Lotus Sect, Red Lotus Sect, White Lotus Sect—they were once a single entity. It was only due to the machinations of the Righteous Path that they were divided hundreds of years ago. Now, with great changes imminent in the world, the leaders of the three sects are inclined to reunite. It has been decided that at the joint blossom assembly a decade from now, we will select the Holy Son of the Sacred Sect.
The Saint Heir will be the joint ruler of our Holy Sect."
After revealing all this, Elder Green Lotus looked earnestly at Lin Yun and said, "I have already investigated and discovered that you possess the rare Crimson Flame Immortal Physique, which innately resonates with the Flame Spirit Art. Without cultivating the Flame Spirit Art, though, it's difficult to recognize. The Red Lotus Sect, specializing in Fire Spells, would not fail to recognize your potential.
I offered you under the guise of dedicating a beautiful man to the Red Lotus Demon Lord. Once she perceives your talent, she will undoubtedly accept you as her disciple.
By then, you just need to focus on your cultivation. Ten years from now, with the support of both the Green Lotus Sect and the Red Lotus Sect, you will take your place as the Holy Son of the Sacred Sect. How would the Red Lotus Sect ever guess that the disciple they painstakingly nurtured will be wearing the wedding dress for our sect?"
Elder Green Lotus's laughter betrayed his pride, while Lin Yun felt an unbearable awkwardness.
Being sent undercover again?
"Master, is this plan really feasible? What if the Red Lotus Demon Lord suspects that I've been deliberately sent by you?"
"Rest assured, everyone is searching for disciples with outstanding potential. How could she possibly imagine that I would willingly hand over a gem like you? She will surely secretly mock me for not recognizing your value, not realizing I have considered even deeper implications."
Elder Green Lotus wore a face of arrogance. With this move, he had soared to the stratosphere.
Lin Yun: "..."
Good grief, it's déjà vu all over again.
This time, they even roped in the beauty ploy.
Elder Green Lotus then also spelt out the reason for instructing Lin Yun in the Formless Transformation Method.
Once perfected, this method would dissolve one's cultivation level, but as one begins to practice a new spell, the dissipated cultivation would gradually return. The arduous training of the past years wouldn't go to waste, and moreover, after breaking down and rebuilding, future breakthroughs from bottlenecks would be made easier.
For Elder Green Lotus, it was more important that it provided him three years to prepare without hindering Lin Yun's cultivation.
Brilliant strategy!
However...
Lin Yun admitted that his cultivation had really been dissipated.
"In half a month, it will be the Red Lotus Demon Lord's birthday. If you act obediently then, even if she doesn't immediately notice your talent, becoming her beloved will still bring you endless benefits. With your looks, I'm quite confident."
Eventually, Elder Green Lotus raised his orchid finger and brushed it across Lin Yun's chin, causing Lin Yun to shudder with goosebumps.
Lin Yun made up his mind to escape at the earliest opportunity, silently responding to the warning signal that was making his fingers burn. Soon, the other side responded.
Meanwhile, Elder Green Lotus took out a green pill with a slight crystal sheen and stuffed it into Lin Yun's mouth; with a gulp, Lin Yun swallowed it.
This is it, definitely poisoned.
That's what distinguishes the people of the Demon Sect from those of the Righteous Path. The Righteous Path sent Lin Yun undercover but never applied any such measures.
"Master, what is this..."
Lin Yun was shocked and enraged inwardly, yet on the surface, he had to maintain a docile appearance.
"Azure Dragon Gu Worm, this worm is a sacred item of our sect. It will aid your cultivation, protect you in times of danger, and... should you harbor any double thoughts. Of course, I trust that you won't."
Elder Green Lotus smiled warmly, and Lin Yun immediately responded sincerely, "As your disciple, I am eternally grateful for your guidance into the path of immortality, and will never forget the profound kindness. How could I possibly betray you?"
You dog thief, just you wait. Once I turn the tables someday, I will make sure you become a eunuch. I'm sure the Eastern Depot could use someone with your talents!
