I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"Immortals and mortals are eternally separated; this disciple does not know whether to believe it or not. However, there is something this disciple does not understand: do immortals truly exist in this world?"

As Tian Lin spoke these words, he continued, "This disciple, when Seeking Immortality, someone mentioned that on the moon lies the Guanghan Palace, within which resides Chang'e—this disciple asks, is there really a Guanghan Palace on the moon with Chang'e in it?"

Elder Yu shook his head, and also raised his head to look towards the high sky, as if he could see the moon beyond the daytime skies:

"I do not know either; that moon, this old man cannot reach."

Tian Lin laughed, "Master, you cannot go there; do you know who in the Wendaos Sect can reach it?"

Elder Yu shook his head again: "No one in the Wendaos Sect has ever gone there."

Tian Lin smiled even more brightly, saying: "Therefore, whether immortals and mortals are eternally separated, this disciple does not know, and I'm afraid the people of the Wendaos Sect may not know either.

Because, even asking the ancestors of the Wendaos Sect, in the end, they're all part of the 'mortal' in immortals and mortals!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yu laughed heartily.

After his laughter, he said to Tian Lin:

"Your ability to reach this place proves that you were chosen by Huang Ping'an. Over these three thousand years, he will be watching you, waiting for you, to see if you can give him an answer."

Huang Ping'an, sought immortality for a hundred years, ventured out to sea at the age of a hundred plus years.

First, he became a Blood Sect Devotee, then kneeled for half a year, ate dog shit to finally enter the Wendaos Sect.

But till his death, even in the Golden Core Realm, he remained only an Outer Disciple.

Are immortals and mortals eternally separated? Are they really forever separated?

Even in death, Huang Ping'an's eyes are not closed, with five thousand years striking the Dao Bell, all just to seek this answer.

Tian Lin did not know if Huang Ping'an could hear what he just said, but Tian Lin also had a question.

The moon in the sky, how different is it from the moon he saw in his former life?

"I take you as my disciple, but had you cross the sea by yourself to find me in the Wendaos Sect. When the time comes, take my token and start as a servant disciple—

Huang Ping'an struck the Dao Bell for five thousand years; I give you my quota to be my True Disciple. But whether you can gain the acknowledgment of the Wendaos Sect as a True Disciple depends on your own abilities.

I hope, in the last three thousand years, Huang Ping'an can see the answer from you."

After the old man finished speaking, he pointed a finger towards Tian Lin.

Tian Lin only felt a pain in his forehead, yet True Qi exploded within his Dantian area.

In an instant, his twelve meridians frantically absorbed the surrounding Spiritual Energy, transforming it into Five Elements True Qi that surged towards his Dantian.

He felt in his mind as if there were monstrous waves crashing.

With his eyes closed at this moment, he could still see every blade of grass and tree within five meters, a hundred meters, a kilometer radius.

With his eyes closed, he saw the elder walk out from the Daoist Temple, raising his hand towards the sky to grasp.

A gigantic tree descended from the sky, which he caught and stowed into his pocket.

"Go then, the Yulong Continent is too small; this old man also wants to see if you can really reach the moon to find the answer."

Having finished speaking, the old man left, and Tian Lin found himself back on Dao Seeking Mountain.

'Dong, dong!'

The Dao Bell chimed at this moment, and when Tian Lin opened his eyes again, he saw Dao Seeking Mountain differently.

He looked at the people on Dao Seeking Mountain, paid respects with everyone, then slapped the token in his Storage Bag, casually tossing it down to Zhou Shoufan.

"Zhou Shoufan, here is your token."

Zhou Shoufan, fighting against four, suddenly heard Tian Lin speak, raised his head, and looked towards the flying token.

Just as Zhou Shoufan was about to grab the token, a figure moved with incredible speed and seized the token.

Upon appearing at Dao Seeking Mountain, Tian Lin had already noticed Xue En.

Now, Xue En laughed triumphantly, holding the token and rushed towards the second layer platform.

Tian Lin did not stop Xue En, only speaking to Zhou Shoufan below:

"Zhou Shoufan, Xue En killed you in the illusion, and also bullied your mother, I really look down on him—"

As soon as these words came out, Xue En's face changed drastically, staring at Tian Lin he said, "You bastard, you think just because you've achieved the early stage of Foundation Establishment, you can disregard our sect leader?"

Indeed, Tian Lin's early stage Foundation Establishment cultivation was not much to look at in front of everyone present.

Thus, seeing Xue En move forward, he immediately used the Wind Walking Skill to head down the stone steps.

Xue En advanced two steps, but then he gave up on pursuing Tian Lin.

Because compared to chasing Tian Lin, leaving Cangzhou through the Transmission Array was more critical.

The Zhou family's token was a Teleportation Talisman, and the stone pedestal on the second layer platform was the Transmission Array.

At this moment, Tian Lin finally understood why the token in the illusion showed only nine mountains, while the token he got displayed ten mountains.

Because the additional mountain of Dao Seeking Mountain was added by Zhou Shoufan.

And the token, being a Teleportation Talisman, its so-called displayed map was principally aimed at anchoring the space where the Transmission Array was located.

"Xue En, you're asking for death!"

Just as Xue En reached the Transmission Array, Zhou Shoufan appeared by his side in a split second.

What of later-stage Foundation Establishment?

Xue En only glanced at Zhou Shoufan and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Before he could make any move, the token in his hand had already slipped back into Zhou Shoufan's hands.

Xue En's face drastically changed, and he instantly ran toward the foot of Dao Seeking Mountain.

How could Zhou Shoufan let him escape?

Unfortunately, Zhou Shoufan's Divine Soul was exceptional, but his cultivation was still only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so he couldn't capture Xue En instantly.

"Zhou, I've already returned the token to you, why are you chasing me?"

Xue En was fast, but Zhou Shoufan wasn't slow either.

Among those present, Tian Lin knew clearly that the Zhou surname was Zhou Shoufan's reverse scale.

That very line he just spoke was enough to make Zhou Shoufan determined to kill Xue En.

"This Xue En, he's really done for now."

Liu Xuanfeng couldn't help but remark before turning his head to Tian Lin and cupped his fists: "Tian, congratulations."

Tian Lin hastily responded: "If the disciple has made any mistakes, please punish me, Master."

Liu Xuanfeng said: "I'm not mocking you, it's just that as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, we should discuss matters as equals—"

Elder Liu looked at Tian Lin earnestly, saying: "Tian, do you still have the Binding Immortal Rope on you?"

Tian Lin hesitated slightly, but remembering Elder Liu's previous indulgence and genuine teachings of cultivation techniques, he took out the Binding Immortal Rope from his Storage Bag.

Elder Liu took the Binding Immortal Rope, and his attitude towards Tian Lin became much friendlier.

At this moment, Elder Xiao couldn't help but ask him: "I heard from the ancestor of the Zhou family that he asked for the Binding Immortal Rope to help you, right?"

Elder Liu nodded: "Correct, I helped him with the soul reversion. One of the conditions was for him to collect all five pieces of the Binding Immortal Rope for me, including the two broken ones."

Elder Xiao frowned upon hearing this: "What do you need the Binding Immortal Rope for?"

"It's for Shang Yu's preparation."

Hearing this, Elder Xiao especially dissatisfied, said: "I see that Shang Yu, neither in talent nor character is comparable to Tian Lin.

You have a good disciple like Tian Lin, yet you choose Shang Yu. I heard you went through great lengths to have Elder He accept him as a disciple, but his goal is to kill you."

Elder Liu contentedly stroked his beard: "I know he wants to kill me, so I've been waiting for him to come and kill me."

Elder Xiao, unable to grasp Elder Liu's thoughts, asked frowningly: "You mentioned that Zhou Shoufan helped you gather the Binding Immortal Rope as one of the conditions, what about the second condition?"

"The second condition is that he should not forget his fellow sect members in Yulong Continent after he goes to Cangzhou."

Elder Xiao scoffed: "He went to Cangzhou, would he really bring back a thousand-year-old wood for us? Do you believe that?"

Elder Liu shook his head: "It's hard to say—however, the thousand-year dilemma in Yulong Continent has been my plan for decades. Zhou Shoufan is just an expendable pawn in it."

As he finished, Zhou Shoufan's voice suddenly arose saying:

"Liu Xuanfeng, you so enjoy playing chess, we should have a proper game sometime. But, where is your disciple?"

After Zhou Shoufan spoke, Liu Xuanfeng then asked Elder Xiao: "Ah, where did Tian go? Did you see him?"

Elder Xiao shook his head saying: "He seemed to have gone to either the first or second level of the third section's stone steps."

Only Elder He said: "Didn't Tian Lin follow down the mountain when Xue En escaped?"

Seeing Zhou Shoufan about to go down the mountain, Liu Xuanfeng suddenly spoke:

"Elder Zhou, the transmission array on the second floor platform seems to be cracking. If you don't use it now, I fear it won't be usable when you return."

Zhou Shoufan casually tossed aside the grinning severed head of Xue En, turned to look at Liu Xuanfeng and coldly said: "Are you threatening me?"

Liu Xuanfeng grinned and said: "What capability and virtue do I have to threaten you, Elder? That transmission array, it really is cracking."

Zhou Shoufan scoffed, turned and approached the stone slab on the second platform.

He placed the token into the groove on the stone slab, and suddenly the space around the stone slab twisted.

"Huang Ping'an sought the Dao all his life, and died without understanding. What eternal separation between mortals and immortals, humanities and specters? I insist on entering—

And you, Liu Xuanfeng, placing your hopes on several expendable pawns, from what I see, none of those you chose are as good as yourself."

After he spoke, both the token and his entire figure disappeared.

Elder Xiao stepped onto the platform and stared at the stone slab, silently muttering:

"He's right about one thing, relying on others is less reliable than relying on oneself. I don't understand, since you knew this was a transmission array that could leave, why didn't you leave for Cangzhou yourself?

At least if you went to Cangzhou, you would likely try to send back the thousand-year-old wood."

Liu Xuanfeng shook his head: "Many things can't be accomplished alone. Initially you, I, and Xing Tongtian believed, as long as the three of us worked together, there was nothing we couldn't do.

As time went on, I became more convinced of this—I also thought, if I went to Cangzhou, I would surely try to bring the thousand-year-old wood back.

But what if I went to Cangzhou and couldn't return?"

He said: "Dandelions, naturally very brittle. But a dandelion plant has hundreds, thousands of seeds—

These seeds, scattered, may fall in water, in forests completely shaded from sunlight, most won't survive. But there will always be a few that take root and eventually grow."

Speaking of this, Liu Xuanfeng suddenly asked: "Where is Tian Lin?"

Elder Xiao said: "This boy is cunning. After Zhou Shoufan chased Xue En down the mountain, this boy has already slipped away and won't easily come out."

Liu Xuanfeng furiously said: "Find this boy quickly, I suspect he's hiding something—

If he didn't have a way to leave Yulong Continent, would he so readily return the token to Zhou Shoufan?"
