The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 130 The Poison of the Poison Dragon Gu Worm

Chapter 130: Chapter 130 The Poison of the Poison Dragon Gu Worm

More than thirty years ago, Lin Yu was at the zenith of her fame, known as the Jade Sword Immortal, the foremost among the younger generation of the Sword Sect.

This ’younger generation’ refers to those between one hundred to two hundred years of age.

The Sword Sect was already one of the Lower Three Sects, and the emergence of a disciple who could suppress her contemporaries made people believe that the Sect was on the rise again.

You see, the reputation of a genius disciple is earned through battle—exchanging blows with peers, eliminating demons from the Demonic Path; this is the way of the Righteous Path to fame.

However, the future star of hope for the Sword Sect was ambushed in an operation against the Red Lotus Sect and was poisoned by the peculiar Poison Dragon Gu Worm.

There are three great peculiar Gu worms in the world: the first is the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, the second is the Poison Dragon Gu Worm, and the third is the Heart Gu Worm.

These three Gu worms are all rare treasures.

The Heart Gu Worm is the most terrifying, formless and shapeless, it can sneak into the bodies of humans or Spirit Beasts or demons, secretly devouring their Divine Soul. In the early stages, it covertly changes a person’s thoughts; at that time, some people are still alive, but their thoughts have already been altered. The longer one is infected by the worm, the more severe the Divine Soul is consumed, and that person is no longer the same as they originally were.

But the Heart Gu Worm can perfectly masquerade as that person.

When they die is entirely up to the whim of the Heart Gu Worm’s master.

Because it’s so terrifying, capable of threatening even Upper Realm Cultivators of the Enlightened Realm, once someone is found using the Heart Gu Worm, they become an enemy of the entire world.

Therefore, the Heart Gu Worm is the taboo among the three peculiar Gu Worms. You can cultivate demonic powers if you wish, but if you dare touch this thing, then the whole world will gang up against you. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The second most dreadful is the Poison Dragon Gu Worm; the terror of the Poison Dragon Gu Worm lies in its poison.

Cultivators are almost immune to poison, the higher their realm, the greater their resistance to poisons.

But the Poison Dragon Gu Worm is different; its poison is not exactly a poison. The Poison Dragon Gu Worm has a name, called the Poison Dragon Drill—a very serious skill name. It suggests that the poison of the Poison Dragon Gu Worm is like a drill, boring a hole right through a person.

Where this hole is, no one can tell; there is definitely no physical hole in the body, but the spirit, energy, and life will be continuously leaking away, including one’s own lifespan.

There is nothing more cruel than this slow death.

The Poison Dragon Gu Worm’s lethality is not quite enough for an Upper Realm Cultivator but can still cause significant trouble. As for Cultivators below the Upper Realm, one touch means certain death.

The third is the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, not so scary, just extremely functional, but its proficiency in hiding makes the Azure Dragon Gu Worm very difficult to defend against.

Once it enters, basically, you can forget about getting it out.

That’s why Wang Wanqiu immediately gave up on treatment when she heard Lin Yun mention the Azure Dragon Gu Worm.

And her mentor was bitten by the Poison Dragon Gu Worm.

From then on, her cultivation level plummeted, and although Lin Yu continued to advance in the Sword Dao, no matter how she cultivated, she couldn’t stop this downward trend.

Many of those injured by the Poison Dragon Gu Worm managed to last a few years, but most couldn’t take it and committed suicide.

For someone like Lin Yu to have endured for so long, she must have been a person of exceedingly strong will.

However, even human will has its limits.

No matter how hard Lin Yu tried, she could not hold on for much longer.

She may look fine now, but maybe a year from now, she’ll start to wrinkle, and in another year, she will turn white-haired and withered, aging rapidly to death.

An Upper Realm Cultivator of the Heart Guarding Realm has several hundred years of life span. Lin Yu was not even a hundred years old, roughly equivalent to a twenty-plus-year-old un-cultivated mortal, so her demise was not far off. It was natural for Wang Wan Qiu to be anxious.

But she was helpless, as the poison of the Poison Dragon Gu Worm had no cure, so all she could do was transform her anger and sorrow into hatred toward the Demon Sect.

If it weren’t for the Demon Sect resorting to such vicious methods, her mentor would not have ended up so miserable.

However, with the arrival of Lin Yun, Wang Wanqiu saw hope.

Lin Yun, with his Innate Furnace Cauldron Body, was highly likely to compensate for the deficiencies in her mentor’s cultivation.

Therefore, as long as Lin Yun was willing to help, she was ready to do anything.

It’s just...

Wang Wanqiu found that when she excitedly told her mentor that there was a cure for her body, her mentor’s expression was too strange.

Lin Yun’s expression was also very strange.

"Why aren’t you talking anymore?"

Wang Wanqiu noticed that Lin Yu’s face had turned somewhat rosy, which was quite rare. Is my Master feeling shy?

Her shy appearance is truly beautiful!

Bewitched by the sight, Wang Wanqiu stared in admiration, causing Lin Yun to involuntarily step back half a step.

Women in the Cultivation World are somewhat peculiar, like some girls from the Red Lotus Sect who really admire Dongfang Hongyue. Lin Yun decided not to name names, and Xiao Qing was also quite infatuated with Da Bai. In short...

This world seemed to be filled with the fragrance of oranges everywhere.

It was unclear whether it was because she was seeing things through tinted glasses.

Though Wang Wanqiu had been mesmerized for a few seconds, her mind was still clear. She thought that Lin Yu was feeling embarrassed for discussing those indecent matters in front of Lin Yun and comforted her, "Master, there’s no need to be shy. We cultivators, why adhere to trivial niceties? The flesh is nothing more than a shell."

Lin Yu: "..."

She couldn’t take it anymore. That sentence had breached her defenses.

Although for a cultivator, if such an incident did occur, indeed, they wouldn’t mind it as much as a mortal woman would, but the mores and customs of the secular world and the Cultivation World are quite similar.

It was a matter of generational hierarchy.

"Lin Yun could possibly be my adopted son, so stop talking nonsense."

"Huh?"

Wang Wanqiu’s face was a picture of confusion.

What’s going on? How did Lin Yun become her master’s adopted son?

Wang Wanqiu began to doubt her own life.

What sort of fantastical plot was this?

"As long as it’s not blood-related..."

"Shut your mouth."

As soon as Wang Wanqiu started speaking, Lin Yu knew what she wanted to say. This was absolutely impossible.

In Wang Wanqiu’s heart, saving Lin Yu’s life was more important than anything else.

But for Lin Yu, it was different.

After years of struggle, for her, being alive was certainly good, but death was not necessarily a release.

Furthermore, in her heart, whether Lin Yun was her biological child or not, he was no different from one.

Even if the current Lin Yun hadn’t completely confirmed his identity, Lin Yu knew that this was the son who had promised to return after completing his learning to protect her.

She didn’t know why he had forgotten her, yet still remembered the Sword Sect. Lin Yu didn’t blame him; she even thought it might be a good thing.

She wouldn’t live much longer, and if Lin Yun had forgotten his affection towards her, it would mean he wouldn’t be as heartbroken in the future.

"We needn’t discuss this any further."

Lin Yu looked at Wang Wanqiu, displaying a rare sharpness. Wang Wanqiu, fearing that Lin Yu would get angry, could only look down obediently. However, her dejected mood was felt by both Lin Yun and Lin Yu.

This was the Heart Guarding Realm. Upon reaching this realm, one’s combat power fluctuated strongly, and one’s own emotions could influence the surrounding environment and the efficacy of one’s spells.

For example, when flames used in a state of anger might carry the emotion of anger, affecting the opponent’s mental state to also become angry.

Wang Wanqiu’s display was unintentional; her emotions had been fluctuating too much lately.

First, the excitement of her breakthrough, followed by the melancholy over Lin Yun’s departure, then the realization that Lin Yu might not live much longer, and finally the excitement of seeing Lin Yun today, only to end with the despondency of being ruthlessly rejected.

With such significant swings in her mood, it was natural that the fluctuations of her Heart Guarding Realm would be much more pronounced.

Lin Yu was suddenly taken aback.

"You have reached the Heart Guarding Realm?"
