I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 144 122 The Tomb of the Golden Core Ancestor

Over the next half a month, Tian Lin stayed within the illusion.

He spent a lot of time consuming Water Spirit Rice on the twenty-first level, so much so that he himself lost count, but he never felt the presence of Sword Intent.

Feeling helpless, Tian Lin had no choice but to temporarily give up on the illusion at the twenty-first level and began to climb to higher levels.

As Tian Lin was ascending, the other Outer Disciples, including the servant disciples, were not idle either.

Especially at Sword Peak, the talisman papers that used to be ignored, no matter how expensive, were now all snatched up.

Everyone was preparing for the upcoming Life and Death Platform, except for Tian Lin, who was still climbing.

"Hall Master Huang, we've already arrived at Kun Lake. The Foundation Establishment Pool is almost in our grasp—why aren't you moving forward?"

Inside the illusion, Tian Lin was now by the side of a lake.

The vast lake looked quite ordinary, with only a cool breeze and suitable for fishing, nothing particularly special.

Tian Lin looked doubtfully at the daoist-robed elder speaking beside him, then at another middle-aged man.

The elder in daoist robes was one thing; although he was respectful towards Tian Lin, he was not terribly afraid.

But the middle-aged man appeared quite humble, slightly bowing as Tian Lin glanced at him.

Tian Lin glanced at the embroidered badge on the inner garment of the middle-aged man, knowing that he was a Blood Sect Devotee, likely one of his subordinates, and thus, asked bluntly:

"Immortal Master Zhou said there is a Foundation Establishment Pool here, do you think Immortal Master Zhou might deceive me?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly replied: "Upon careful consideration, nothing of what Immortal Master Zhou mentioned seems false—and besides, Immortal Master Zhou has been a friend of yours for many years, so he should be quite reliable."

Tian Lin smiled, squinting his eyes at the elder in daoist robes:

"Indeed, if it weren't for your help back then, Immortal Master Zhou, I wouldn't have been able to cross the seas from the Yulong Continent to this Cangzhou territory. Now time flies by. How old were you back then, Immortal Master Zhou?"

After Tian Lin asked, the elder in daoist robes replied, "I was not yet thirty at the time. Time flies, and before you know it, it's already been more than forty years."

Tian Lin nodded slightly. It was only now that he could confirm that from the first stage at the ninety-ninth stone step to now, the second stage at the thirtieth stone step, represented the experiences of Patriarch Yueyue in Cangzhou over the following forty years.

"Yes, forty years have passed, and you've been covered in half a measure of yellow earth. As for me, at over a hundred years old, I'm someone about to be buried with the trees."

"It's precisely because we don't have much time left that we should enter Kun Lake to

Ordinarily, lake water doesn't have any prompt, and not only did Tian Lin feel suffocated, the man also felt the chilling and uncomfortable sensation of suffocation.

With wide eyes, he watched as Tian Lin discarded the Breath Holding Pill, and with no choice, he forcefully dove down towards the bottom of the lake with Tian Lin.

After descending about ten zhang, avoiding a school of fish and shrimp, the man led Tian Lin to a rocky wall.

The man then brushed away some green algae on the stone wall, revealing a round hole the size of a bowl.

Tian Lin handed the wooden Token to the man, who then inserted the Token into the round hole.

Shortly afterwards, Tian Lin faintly heard a 'click' sound. Following that, the stone wall trembled violently, not only dislodging a bunch of algae stuck to it but also stirring up clouds of sediment.

The murky sediment obstructed visibility, but Tian Lin still made out the spacious interior that appeared as the stone opened.

Seeing this, Tian Lin tossed the man into the stone gate amidst his struggles.

The man, having escaped Tian Lin's grip, tried to dash out of the stone gate to escape.

But as soon as he turned around and before leaving the stone gate, a large amount of blood surged from his back.

The vivid red blood instantly stained the water red, and Tian Lin's vision blurred for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, he was back on Dao Seeking Mountain.

"Is it truly the tomb of a Golden Core ancestor? But if so, why does the key lie in the hands of the Zhou Family?"
