I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 181 - 149 Daoist Child

When the time came, the real Zhou Qing, dragging his severe injuries, almost crawled to Tian Lin’s bedside.

Elder Yun and Madame Zhou watched Tian Lin on the bed with surprise and suspicion. At this moment, Tian Lin’s face once again reverted to that of ’Ancestor Yueyao.’

Madame Zhou was overwhelmed with shock and rage. Pointing at Tian Lin, she found herself unable to speak.

Zhou Qing did not even need Tian Lin to make a move; he had already breathed his last just as he crawled next to Tian Lin.

The illusion faded away, and Tian Lin once again returned to Dao Seeking Mountain.

"I do have the map memorized by heart, but is this really the map of the Nine-Life True Man’s tomb?"

Tian Lin looked around. Although it seemed deserted, he knew that the Token and the map were too closely related, and he couldn’t shake the feeling of eavesdroppers behind the walls.

After some thought, Tian Lin proceeded to the thirteenth tier of stone steps.

The thirteenth tier was when Ancestor Yueyao spent his fifth or sixth year in Cangzhou; it was also the time Elder Zhou mentioned for the Immortal Sinking Pond’s water ’exchange.’

Tian Lin’s purpose for entering this illusion was mostly aimed at the Immortal Sinking Pond.

Standing outside the alchemy room in a valley, he could see newcomers who had just become Qi Refiners — mere mortals.

Ignoring these people, Tian Lin entered the stone room and took out the Token from his Storage Bag.

"Kun Lake reveals the tomb, Qian River reveals the man!"

Murmuring to himself, Tian Lin watched as a shimmer of light emanated from the wooden Token, revealing a three-dimensional, blue-glowing map in the darkness of the stone room.

"This isn’t right!"

Observing the map, Tian Lin’s brow furrowed deeply.

He noticed that this map had an extra mountain compared to the one ’summoned’ by Madame Zhou.

"It’s Dao Seeking Mountain, but why does Dao Seeking Mountain appear?"

"In the illusion, the Token did not summon the map upon my command. Instead, Madame Zhou summoned it, and that map only had nine mountain peaks.

The nine peaks are one less than what I see now. Therefore, the Dao Seeking Mountain that I see now must have been added by Zhou Shoufan or someone else after Zhou Qing’s death."

Tian Lin could only rely on guesses, yet had no means of confirming them.

He remembered Zhong Wujie had told him before his death that the Wendaos Sect’s Ancestor Wenxin had hidden thousand-year-old wood on Dao Seeking Mountain.

If the Zhou Family’s Token could unlock Kun Lake, could there be a ’tomb’ on Dao Seeking Mountain, only accessible with the Zhou Family’s Token?

With several thoughts in mind, he decisively used the Wind Walking Skill and approached the Immortal Sinking Pond.

Looking at the boundless ’Wood Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool,’ Tian Lin leaped straight into the Immortal Sinking Pond.

For the next half a month, besides aimlessly wandering around Dao Seeking Mountain in search of a stone hole to insert the Token, Tian Lin ’soaked’ in the Immortal Sinking Pond within the illusion.

The water in the Immortal Sinking Pond changed every five years, but the second section of Dao Seeking Mountain’s ninety-plus tiers had nearly a hundred years of history.

The days and nights within the illusion differed from the outside. It took Tian Lin a month soaking in the real Immortal Sinking Pond to transform his twelve meridians into Golden Spirit Veins.

In the illusion, he refined the wooden, water, and fire Spirit Veins in a mere ten days.

Now, only the last bit of the Earth Spirit Vein remained to be completely refined.

Even though he was on the verge of achieving Foundation Establishment, Tian Lin still couldn’t find the matching stone hole for the Token on Dao Seeking Mountain.

"Besides the very last part, I’ve traversed all sections of Dao Seeking Mountain’s ninety-plus tiers of stone steps. But for the final few steps, I still do not have full confidence in entering and exiting safely."

"If I can’t reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, I can only wander around the second section of stone steps and the mid-mountain area.

But I’ve nearly checked every stone wall and forest around the mountainside, and I doubt I’ve missed anything."

Tian Lin planned to delay his Foundation Establishment a bit longer, without any rush.

He had already sent a letter to Zhao Bei, asking how many Spirit Pearls he had prepared since he could bring Spirit Stones to exchange.

As long as there were enough Spirit Pearls, and he could cultivate Cangming Swordsmanship and the Earth Escape Skill to the Perfect Realm, he would be confident to ascend the second platform without achieving Foundation Establishment.

The next day, Tian Lin was in the illusion at the ninetieth tier of stone steps.

The sudden rain accompanied by lightning, he did not know how long Ancestor Yueyao had been kneeling in front of the Daoist Temple.

He could only deduce from the deep pits under his knees that Ancestor Yueyao had been kneeling in front of this dilapidated temple for quite some time.

The dilapidated temple was built in a desolate mountain with a not-so-tall courtyard wall, encircling a stone house neither broken nor new.

Tian Lin remembered checking out this stone house before, which served as both a lecture hall and a bedroom, but it peculiarly lacked the stone statues for Daoists’ worship.

Looking at this Daoist Temple named ’Xiaoyu Guan,’ Tian Lin didn’t entirely understand why Ancestor Yueyao would be kneeling at the temple gate.

His last visit to this illusion was nothing more than a brief tour.

He also only discovered that aside from the few Daoist Children in the temple who possessed some cultivation, the temple was quite ordinary, as were the surrounding mountains.

In essence, the temple seemed unremarkable, with no divine anomalies in the neighboring villages and mountain hamlets.

So after Tian Lin entered the last time and failed to find anything useful, he simply killed the Daoist Child and left directly.

’Cre-eak’

The slightly dilapidated main gate of the Daoist Temple opened from the inside. The day hadn’t fully brightened yet, and coupled with the dense clouds, the whole world appeared dim.

In the Daoist Temple, a Daoist Child carrying a covered wooden bucket walked out.

He splashed the contents of the bucket next to Tian Lin, and instantly, the yellow filth scattered over the floor.

Fortunately, Tian Lin protected himself with his True Qi, otherwise, the dirty contents of the bucket would have splattered all over him.

Tian Lin raised his head and glanced at the Daoist Child.

This Daoist Child looked to be around seven or eight years old. Tian Lin had killed him before and knew he only had the cultivation of the fourth-tier Qi Refining.

But Tian Lin did not dare to underestimate this Daoist Child, for his Spiritual Sense was still above his own.

The opponent cultivated Divine Skills and held some strange treasures in his hand; to kill him would also take a great deal of effort.

At this moment, the Daoist Child also made eye contact with Tian Lin.

He smiled and said, "You really are sincere, but I’ve told you, our master isn’t in the temple. Even if he returns to the temple, he won’t take you as a disciple—"

Tian Lin remained silent. He had failed to learn more about this temple on his last visit, and this time he was determined to uncover the secrets of this Daoist Temple.

According to Tian Lin’s guess, if there wasn’t a considerable benefit, why would the great ancestor Without Moon kneel in this decrepit temple and suffer the humiliation of a fourth-tier Qi Refiner youngster?

"How about this, if you can lick my chamber pot clean. Once the master returns, I’ll plead with him to take you as a disciple."

Tian Lin frowned. The Daoist Child laughed heartily, carrying the chamber pot back into the temple and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Tian Lin continued kneeling on the ground, not knowing what good it would do.

Eventually, the clouds dispersed and the sunshine broke through the gloom, illuminating the entire mountain wilderness.

Inside the Daoist Temple, the naive chanting voice of the Daoist Child began to rise.

About an hour later, the Daoist Child opened the temple gate and walked out.

He walked in front of Tian Lin and used the tip of his foot to nudge the dung not far away.

The dung still had ’soup’ in it, probably because it had been soaked in urine in the chamber pot before being washed by the rain.

Although it no longer stank, it still looked disgusting.

"You’ve been kneeling for more than ninety days, right? Even if you’re at the twelfth-tier Qi Refining, can you really withstand not eating or drinking?"

He pursed his lips and tempted Tian Lin, "Eat it, eat this dung, and I’ll let you into the temple. No need to wait for the master to come back, I’ll help you with your Foundation Establishment first, then teach you Divine Skills."

Tian Lin looked up at the Daoist Child. It was unthinkable that a seven- or eight-year-old could boast about helping someone with Foundation Establishment.

"Why do you want to force me to eat dung?"

Tian Lin asked the Daoist Child doubtfully, and the Daoist Child replied, "Dogs can eat dung, so why can’t people? Besides, my dung may stink a bit, but it’s still nutritious."

Tian Lin glanced at the golden heap amidst the mud, turned his head, and said, "I am here to seek the Tao, not to be mocked. I kneel to the temple master, not to you, a Daoist Child."

That vile suggestion was tempting, but Tian Lin had no interest in eating it.

"Haha, you refuse even to eat dung, yet you want to meet my master? You don’t even dare to eat dung, yet you dare talk about a sincere pursuit of cultivation?"

The Daoist Child walked up to Tian Lin. Due to his short stature, he stood at an angle where his face was level with the kneeling Tian Lin.

"Let me tell you, the path of cultivation is harder than you can imagine. If just eating dung can grant you immortality, countless people would covet it.

You’re not afraid to kneel for more than ninety days to see my master, but a lump of dung has defeated you, what kind of cultivation are you talking about?"

Seeing that Tian Lin remained unmoved, he simply turned and closed the temple gate.

From inside the Daoist Temple, the Daoist Child’s voice floated out to Tian Lin, "If you want to see our Elder Yu, you must pass my test. You aspire to ascend Dao Seeking Mountain, but with your identity as a Blood Sect Devotee, only our Elder Yu would be willing to take you—

So, you see, you’ve got to eat this dung whether you like it or not!"

Elder Yu, Dao Seeking Mountain?

Tian Lin finally understood the purpose behind Without Moon’s kneeling before this Daoist Temple.

And he finally knew who the temple master of this little Daoist Temple really was.

"Zhou Qing once said that within the entire Wendaos Sect, only a person called Elder Yu accepts disciples without questioning their background. So, is this temple master Elder Yu? Did Without Moon come here to enter the Wendaos Sect?"

Having clarified the reasons, Tian Lin entered the temple, his flying sword aiming directly at the Daoist Child.

He knew the Daoist Child held a treasure that resembled a collar, which, once thrown, would bind a person like the Binding Immortal Rope.

He also understood that the Daoist Child possessed a Divine Skill that could kill with sound waves.

Therefore, when Tian Lin entered the temple and his flying sword flew towards the Daoist Child, he burrowed into the ground using the Earth Escape Skill.

The jingling of the collar’s bell sounded above ground, but as Tian Lin hid underground, he wasn’t concerned about getting caught by the collar.

Just the barking ’woof woof’ sound, however, traveled from the surface straight down to beneath the earth.

Tian Lin felt as if struck by thunder, his Spiritual Sense almost bursting from the sound waves.

Nonetheless, since the Daoist Child had only the cultivation of the fourth-tier Qi Refining, he could not escape the attack of Tian Lin’s flying sword.

Soon, the illusion began to fade.

"Why does that Daoist Child keep forcing Without Moon to eat excrement? What kind of preference is this?"

"Just don’t know, in the end, did Without Moon eat it or not?"

Tian Lin did not know whether Without Moon ate it, but surely by the ninety-first illusion, Without Moon had already entered the temple and started to live and eat with the Daoist Child.
