I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"So, Wu Xi Lai also entered here? Could it be that he also wants to obtain the Immortal Sword?"

Outside the Spice Manor, Master Listening Rain was unwilling to believe Tian Lin's words:

"He is a Divinity Transformation expert and already has his own sword. If he were to abandon his Lifebound Magical Artifact for the Immortal Sword, although he might gain the power of the Immortal Sword for a time, it would ultimately harm his Sword Dao heart. Does he, a Divinity Transformation expert, not understand this principle?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "He probably knows he's powerless to reach late-stage Divinity Transformation, so he might as well give up struggling. Instead of working hard at cultivation without any improvement, he might as well take the Immortal Sword, which can enhance his strength more directly and sooner."

Master Listening Rain knew Tian Lin's words made sense, much like a person who only had a couple of weeks left due to a terminal illness wouldn't care about breaking the law or fear getting caught and imprisoned.

But he still couldn't accept it, because he also wanted to seize the Immortal Sword and become its owner!

If it were just Wu Hen or the short elder, he would still have the courage to contend.

But Wu Xi Lai is a Divinity Transformation expert and practices the Sword Dao, what could he use to compete?

"The Sect Master of the Sword Sect came in later, indicating that outsiders have already broken through the ice on the sea's surface and entered the Immortal Sinking Pond."

Tian Lin said, "It seems even the Immortal Sword isn't omnipotent. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for outsiders to break through and forcibly enter Heavenly Gate. This world probably can't confine Divinity Transformation experts; otherwise, how would the elders of the Sword Sect dare enter this world?"

——

"Having entered here, even a mere Divinity Transformation like me finds it exceedingly difficult to leave."

In the small courtyard, Wu Xi Lai looked at Wu Hen and said, "I somewhat regret rashly running into this world."

Upon hearing the Sect Master's words, Elder Wu Hen looked ashamed: "It's all my fault for being greedy; otherwise, you, senior brother, wouldn't be trapped."

Wu Xi Lai waved his hand, shaking his head: "Our Sword Sect seeks the Sword Dao and isn't bound by many rules. You came to the Immortal Sinking Pond in pursuit of the Sword Dao, being trapped by the Immortal Sword here isn't your fault, so what crime have you committed?

But since you have entered this world, have you seen your two senior brothers?"

Wu Xi Lai shook his head, frowning along: "Logically, even if they lost their cultivation upon entering this world, my two senior brothers' swordsmanship should allow them to survive at a basic level."

Sword Cultivators differ from other cultivators; even without cultivation, they are still considered Sword Dao Grandmasters. A mastery in swordsmanship enough to render ordinary Qi Refiners unable to come close.

"From today, post notices outside, instructing your two senior brothers to find me as soon as possible. Besides that, anyone like us trapped in the Daqi world, you can also ask them to come to me. Many hands make light work; we will figure out a way for us all to leave together."

Elder Wu Hen took the order, but upon seeing Wu Xi Lai stand up, he said:

"Sect Master, this time assisting the court in escorting the Heavenly Fortune Sword makes you a hero of the Daqi Dynasty. Beyond the court's rewards, each family's patriarch wants to recruit you; what do you intend to do?"

Wu Xi Lai was about to leave, but upon hearing the elder's question, he paused and replied: "According to what you said, in another two months, this place will move, and both the aristocratic families and the dynasty will leave this world. So why bother becoming an official in the court or serving those families?

Instead, why not seize this opportunity and visit fellow practitioners to see if my Sword Dao can improve?"

——

Indeed, Elder Wu Hen used relationships with the aristocratic families and the court to post notices in city gates and villages, seeking the whereabouts of his two senior brothers. The notices also mentioned, 'Reluctant to leave one's homeland, now that we are in a foreign land, we should help each other. So, fellow townsmen who have come from afar, please visit the Chen Xian Inn for a discussion.'

These words appeared cryptic to others, but Tian Lin, Master Listening Rain, and others, who were not from this world, were all intrigued upon seeing them.

"To say the least, if we follow Wu Xi Lai, it might really offer a chance to migrate with those aristocratic families."

Master Listening Rain looked at Tian Lin and said, "Old Six, what are you planning to do?"

Tian Lin replied, "I missed the Heavenly Fortune Sword match, and didn't get a chance at the Xu Mountain sword debate. Do I have any other choices?"

Master Listening Rain received a promise from Wang An that during the migration, Wang An could take him along.

But Tian Lin, being only at late-stage Foundation Establishment, did not receive any promises.

Two months later, when the Daqi Dynasty migrates, his only hope lies with Wu Xi Lai—if returning to the original world hinges on migrating with the Daqi Dynasty.

"Chen Xian Inn is the courtyard awarded to Wu Xi Lai by the court for his achievements. If you wish to go there, I can help you,"

Despite being sworn brothers, their bonds weren't deep.

But because they had sworn oaths in front of Houtu, they trusted each other, unable to secretly harm one another.

Back then, Wu Xi Lai did not anticipate that others might not be able to enter the outer city.

Except for Master Listening Rain, everyone believed that those entering the Immortal Sinking Pond must at least have Nascent Soul Cultivation.

They never imagined someone like Tian Lin, in the late-stage Foundation Establishment, could survive the Sword Qi's crushing and eventually break through Heavenly Gate to get here.

"Aren't you going to Chen Xian Inn with me?"

Tian Lin sensed an oddness in Master Listening Rain's words and gave him a questioning look.

Indeed, Master Listening Rain nodded and said, "Now I'm doing well with the Wang Family; joining Chen Xian Inn rashly would offend Wang An. From then on, I'd lose the chance to compete with the Sword Sect for the Immortal Sword!"

Indeed, joining Chen Xian Inn, under Wu Xi Lai's protection,

the benefit is that if migration away from the Capital City is the way to break through, even someone with Foundation Establishment like Tian Lin could take advantage of Wu Xi Lai and leave.

The downside is that after relying on others, one would lose autonomy and have no further opportunity to compete.

Master Listening Rain was unwilling to give up and naturally wanted to fight. If all else failed, he could still join Chen Xian Inn.

However, Tian Lin was not one to wait and see; at late-stage Foundation Establishment, he never had the advantage to compete from the start.

This disadvantage compelled Tian Lin to be less conflicted than Master Listening Rain.

After their discussion, Tian Lin found an excuse that day to say goodbye to the officer and the second-in-command.

The officer and the second-in-command harbored no suspicions, believing Tian Lin had another task to assist Master Listening Rain.

During this period, due to Master Listening Rain's relationship, they often received tasks arranged by the Wang Family. Although the rewards were modest, their livelihood was no longer a concern.

The next morning, with Master Listening Rain's assistance, Tian Lin boarded the Wang Family's cargo carriage and entered the outer city.

Although Chen Xian Inn existed for a short time, its reputation in the outer city was grand.

After all, a Divinity Transformation expert is a rarity among mortals. Wu Xi Lai, being such an expert, once demonstrated his power, attracting everyone's attention. Naturally, the Chen Xian Inn where he resided gained fame quickly.
