I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 177 - 146: Do All Kinds of Evil

"The water of the Immortal Sinking Pond switches from bottom to top once every five years, and it possesses five properties: cold, hot, warm, cool, and neutral. Now is the season of neutral water, also when the Saw-toothed Demons are most rampant."

Tian Lin asked him, "Does the water of the Immortal Sinking Pond have to be changed once every five years?"

"In the very early days, the Immortal Sinking Pond changed five times in an instant. Back then, it was more like boiling tea than a sea.

Then it changed to every five days, followed by five months, until now, every five years."

When discussing the Immortal Sinking Pond, Immortal Master Zhou had an air of a Grandmaster as he spoke at length:

"In my view, going forward, it will be very difficult for the water of the Immortal Sinking Pond to change again. Eventually, there may not be distinctions like the five properties, but it will converge into a singularity."

"Why is that?"

After Tian Lin asked, Immortal Master Zhou said, "Tea will cool down eventually, and the influence caused by Daoist Skills will dissipate over time. There's nothing surprising about this."

Tian Lin nodded, indeed no longer bothering with Immortal Master Zhou, and just grabbed Manager Qiao and walked out.

With Tian Lin's current cultivation level, with full-force Sword Control, it only took half an hour to reach the shore of the Immortal Sinking Pond.

Looking at the term 'Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool,' Tian Lin hung Manager Qiao to a tree nearby.

Tian Lin leaped up at a deserted shore and jumped into the Immortal Sinking Pond.

Having had the experience of absorbing the essence of the Golden Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool, he could calmly transform his meridians into water spirit veins.

A day and a night passed like this, and when Tian Lin estimated that enough time had elapsed, he then untied the ropes on Manager Qiao.

Without waiting for Manager Qiao to speak, Tian Lin threw Manager Qiao directly into the sea of the Immortal Sinking Pond.

Manager Qiao's face turned pale with fright, trying to leap into the air by stepping on the sea surface.

But the seawater of the Immortal Sinking Pond was not like ordinary seawater. Manager Qiao couldn't use the sea surface to take off and instead sunk straight into the sea.

"Weren't you saying you wouldn't kill me?"

He finished saying this, and his figure had already submerged into the sea.

"Indeed, just like the Immortal Sinking Pond at the first section, ninety-ninth level."

The illusion disappeared, and Tian Lin had now appeared at the second section of the Stone Stairs.

He first looked toward the twenty-fifth level of the second section of the Stone Stairs, not seeing Xue En's figure but only Elder Xiao sitting cross-legged on the twenty-first step.

"Is the elder injured?"

Tian Lin asked, only to see Elder Xiao shake his head:

"My injuries are not as severe as Xue En's - and it's also fortunate that Sect Master Xun injured Xue En before going out to sea. Otherwise, with my cultivation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to protect you this time."

Tian Lin gratefully performed a salute, "If it weren't for the elder arriving in time, I might not have escaped from Xue En's vicious hands."

Elder Xiao frowned and looked at Tian Lin, "I originally thought it would be Xing Tongtian who would come looking for you, but it turned out to be Xue En - Tian Lin, are you hiding something from me?"

Tian Lin was a bit speechless himself; his secrets always seemed to be exposed in front of Elder Xiao, and while some things were not easy to hide, it also didn't seem necessary to hide too much.

"Disciple discovered after reaching the second section of the Stone Stairs that the illusion seemed to exist as if it were real..."

Tian Lin concealed the fact that he could 'eat' things within the illusion, after all, recognizing such a 'Skill' was something Xue En couldn't possibly possess.

"Xue En sought you out because you can enter the illusion of the second section of the Stone Stairs? What did he want you to do in the illusion?"

Tian Lin didn't know what Xue En knew, or whether he came for the thousand-year-old wood hidden by Zhou Shoufan.

He remained silent for a moment, and Elder Xiao said, "I won't pry into your matters, but Xue En probably won't let things go easily."

Tian Lin clenched his teeth and said, "Disciple heard from Brother Zhong that Zhou Shoufan hid a thousand-year-old wood on Dao Seeking Mountain. Disciple doesn't know where Brother Zhong got this news from, nor whether it's accurate."

Elder Xiao was taken aback, suddenly stood up and looked at Tian Lin, "Dao Seeking Mountain hides a thousand-year-old wood? Is that true? And who is Zhou Shoufan—"

He momentarily couldn't recall the name of the Heart Inquiry Ancestor, hence the question.

However, he quickly realized, and couldn't help looking at Tian Lin, "You mean, the Heart Inquiry Ancestor?"

Tian Lin nodded, frowning, "But as far as Disciple knows, everything in the illusion cannot be brought out of it. If the thousand-year-old wood could be taken out of the illusion, I would have already swept clean the thousand-year-old woods in Cangzhou."

"Moreover, there's another question, how did the Heart Inquiry Ancestor enter the illusion of the second section of the Stone Stairs? If he could not enter the illusion of the second segment, how did he hide the thousand-year-old wood inside the illusion?"

After Elder Xiao finished speaking, his gaze turned to the flowers and trees on both sides of Dao Seeking Mountain.

Dao Seeking Mountain is a mountain peak with no life at all, and the entire mountain resembles a huge, artificial stone sculpture.

The vegetation here seems entirely artificial, having not changed a bit for a thousand years.

"Do you think the thousand-year-old wood might be hidden amongst these plants?"

Without waiting for Tian Lin to answer, Elder Xiao already leaped from the Stone Stairs.

With his cultivation, aside from the difficulty of crossing beyond the third segment, the paths of the second segment of the Stone Stairs posed no obstacle to him.

Elder Xiao left quickly and returned just as swiftly.

He tossed the branches and leaves in his hand aside, shaking his head at Tian Lin:

"Once these branches and leaves are taken from the trees, they wither immediately. Thousand-year woods are not like this; it's improbable that these trees are hiding thousand-year-old wood."

Though he spoke thus, he had already made up his mind to inspect all the trees on the mountain later.

"Actually, there is another way, which is to ask Xing Shanping."

Elder Xiao asked him, "Will you go, or shall I?"

Clearly, Elder Xiao was somewhat wary of the current Xing Shanping.

If Xing Shanping had truly been possessed by the ancient Heart Inquiry ancestor, then they would be facing a monster that had lived for thousands of years.

Such monsters, even if their cultivation was bound by a body of a cultivator who has reached the twelfth-tier of Qi Refining, could still slay their adversaries with their spiritual sense alone.

What's more, such monsters certainly possessed no lack of divine skills and magic. If they truly unleashed their power, who among mortals could withstand it?

"The disciple is resolved to enter the illusion once more to investigate the news of the thousand-year-old wood."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, Elder Xiao nodded and said:

"That's good, you investigate the news in the illusion, and I will check these plants and trees on Dao Seeking Mountain. However, the Yao Yue Sect is no place for you to stay for long—

This time Xue En came, and I was able to force him back. But next time if Xing Shanping comes, for the sake of my granddaughter's life, I might have to tie you up and proactively offer you to Xing Shanping as a pledge of allegiance."

This statement seemed like a joke, but Tian Lin knew that if it came to endangering Xiao Hong's life, Elder Xiao would likely do so.

Tian Lin did not say much. He saluted Elder Xiao with cupped fists and turned to ascend the nineteenth stone step.

The familiar official road, followed by a voice that was not unfamiliar:

"We are all cultivators with the eighth-tier of Qi Refining, and what we lack now is a top-grade spell at our side. Fortunately, this Zhou Qing possesses a top-grade spell, and if we take him down, we can obtain that top-grade spell."

In the thorny forest, two red-robed cultivators stood on either side of Tian Lin.

Tian Lin listened to them discuss how to take down Zhou Qing and how to snatch the Heart Inquiry Skill from him.

Not long after, the shadow of a carriage finally appeared on the official road.

Only to hear the red-robed cultivator on the right shout 'Do it!', and the two men instantly launched the two Thunder Talismans in their hands.

With a 'boom', a baby's cry rang out from the carriage, and Zhou Qing staggered out with his sword in hand, warily eyeing the thorny forest path:

"May I ask which friends have set this ambush for me, Zhou Qing? What grievance do you hold against me?"

As the red-robed cultivator on that side was about to swaggeringly respond, Tian Lin had already beheaded him with a single sword slash.

Before the other red-robed cultivator could speak, Tian Lin also poked him to death with one finger.

This scene left Zhou Qing outside of the thorny forest stunned, but he quickly recognized Tian Lin: "Is it you? Ten years ago, when I was injured by the Tong Family, it was you who ambushed me here, right?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "I am impressed that Friend Zhou still remembers me, Huang. Since you know that I am cruel and malevolent, and that I come from the Blood Sect, then things should be easy to handle."

Zhou Qing frowned and sneered, "You want the Zhou Family's Heart Inquiry Skill, right? Well, if you're willing to spare my wife and child, I can give you the Heart Inquiry Skill of the Zhou Family."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou's voice came from inside the carriage: "Qing, you cannot give him the Heart Inquiry Skill. Even if you do, he will surely not spare us."

Tian Lin also said, "I don't want your Heart Inquiry Skill; what I want is the map of the tomb of the Nine-Life True Man."

"Impossible!"

Zhou Qing angrily asked Tian Lin, "Where did you hear such rumors? My Zhou Family does not know any Nine-Life True Man, nor do we have any map."

Tian Lin sighed at this and said, "I said I am cruel and malevolent, but it seems Friend Zhou does not believe it—well then, I have already killed my own cohorts, what's one or two more lives to take?"

He was already in front of the carriage as he spoke.

Zhou Qing wanted to step forward to stop him, but how could he be faster than Tian Lin's Wind Walking Skill?

By the time Zhou Qing got to the carriage, Tian Lin had already dragged Mrs. Zhou out.

"Let go of mother and child!"

Zhou Qing was a mixture of shock and fury, but due to his fear of harming the innocent, he dared not advance.

Tian Lin smiled, pinching Mrs. Zhou's hair in his left hand and sniffing it by his nose:

"Mrs. Zhou's bosom is plump, and even though she's dressed in rough hemp clothes, she has the air of a lady of a great house. Indeed, it stirs something in Huang."

This sentence was only a slight alteration of one made by Xue En, and it was enough to infuriate Zhou Qing to the point of spitting blood.

Zhou Qing stared at Tian Lin, instantly using the Heart Inquiry Skill.

But to what extent had Tian Lin mastered the Heart Inquiry Skill?

He smiled, and the injured one turned out to be Zhou Qing, who had employed the Heart Inquiry Skill.

Zhou Qing spat blood and staggered backward, staring at Tian Lin in horror, "How do you know my Zhou Family's Heart Inquiry Skill?"

Tian Lin said, "I know your Zhou Family's Heart Inquiry Skill, and I am also clear about the formula for the Heart Inquiry Pill. In short, I know everything about your Zhou Family, including the secret hidden at the bottom of Kun Lake."

After saying this, Tian Lin sharply interrogated Zhou Qing:

"Do you still wish to keep it from me? Zhou Qing, if you're sensible, hand over the map. Otherwise, I will take your wife by force and have your son call me 'Dad'."

By repeating the deeds of the former Sect Master of Yao Yue, Tian Lin made Zhou Qing vomit blood and collapse to the ground.

"You'll have a miserable death."

Tian Lin frowned at this, pondering for a moment before saying, "Huang does not fear a miserable death."
