I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

"Tian, even though I was reckless earlier, I ask you not to hold a grudge and kindly inform us about the matters concerning our Sect Master and the elders."

The bald man was flexible and after realizing he couldn't detain Tian Lin in private, he changed his demeanor and spoke kindly.

Tian Lin glanced at Elder Mei, and upon seeing Elder Mei nod, he recounted his experiences after entering the Heavenly Gate.

He withheld nothing except for some personal matters.

Yet, even though Tian Lin spoke the truth, it was hard to eliminate the Sword Sect elders' suspicions. They believed Tian Lin must be hiding something.

Unfortunately, with Elder Mei present, they couldn't use the Soul Searching Technique directly.

"Thank you, Tian, for telling the truth. When our Sect Master returns, the Sword Sect will certainly express their thanks in person."

The bald man didn't linger, bidding farewell to the other Nascent Soul Elders, and left with the Sword Sect elders.

"With the Sword Sect's Sect Master gone, the sect now lacks the protection of a Divinity Transformation expert and might decline."

Elder Mei implied that Bald Elder's urgency and coercion towards Tian Lin was understandable, but he also hinted that Tian Lin should avoid roaming alone lest the Sword Sect elders seek him out again if their Sect Master doesn't appear.

"Master, you really frightened me on this adventure!"

On the return journey, Cui'er spoke to Tian Lin.

It was finally her turn to go out with Tian Lin, only to encounter such a huge incident on her first outing.

Mei Xianfu had already vowed that if any mishap befell Tian Lin, the two sisters would not survive.

One could say, Tian Lin's life affected three lives.

"How long did I actually stay in there?"

After asking, Mei Xianfu, in a displeased tone, replied, "Over half a year. While you were enjoying yourself in there, people outside were worried constantly!"

Although she had no emotional ties to Tian Lin, the oath she swore before Houtu meant that if Tian Lin died, she wouldn't survive either, so her fear was genuine.

"It was my fault for not anticipating such chaos in the Immortal Sinking Pond!"

Mei Xianfu's expression remained unpleasant: "It's also your own recklessness, running into the Immortal Sinking Pond to cultivate Sword Qi!"

Tian Lin didn't care about her reproach, but rather pondered, frowning:

"According to what you said, the time I spent in that world seems similar to the time passing outside. So if the Sword Sect's Master doesn't appear in two months, it means he, along with the Daqi Dynasty, has migrated."

"If the Great Qi migrated to another world ten thousand years ago, then now that ten thousand years have passed, where are they? Are they still alive in that world?"

Mei Xianfu was curious too, but it wasn't something Tian Lin could answer.

With Elder Mei escorting them, no outsiders disturbed Tian Lin and the others on their journey.

They traveled all the way to the Wenda Sect. After meeting Elder Xue, Elder Mei bid farewell and left the Wenda Sect.

Returning to the Wenda Sect, Tian Lin finally felt a sense of security.

On Gourd Peak, he didn't have to worry about how to get home, but he was aware that the Wenda Sect wasn't a place for him to stay long-term.

He knew that the Sect Master of Wenda Sect had been replaced by Great Elder Tang, and the Tang Family had grudges with him.

Even if Great Elder Tang was too proud to act against a junior like him, what about his descendants?

"Now that you're back in the Wenda Sect, you should think carefully about entering the secret realm to advance your cultivation. Because of you, we've wasted half a year of training time! I was supposed to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

She had long wanted to enter the secret realm but couldn't since she wasn't a Wenda Sect disciple.

Now that Tian Lin was back, how could she let him wander off?

"Entering the secret realm can wait until I've rested for a couple of days. As for forming the core, I think I also need to form a core."

"Alright, then we'll wait until you've rested for two days."

Mei Xianfu went back to her room, no longer staying to nag Tian Lin.

After Mei Xianfu left, Cui'er stepped forward with a pout and said, "She's just a sword holder; how does she act like one? Master, you've just returned and she's already talking about entering the secret realm, does she not know how dangerous it is?"

She wasn't speaking out of jealousy but genuine concern for Tian Lin's safety.

If anything happened to Tian Lin, could they still survive?

For the past six months, since Tian Lin went missing, they had been worried sick.

In truth, compared to the initial Qi Refinement days without Tian Lin, they were quite satisfied with life now and didn't want him to take unnecessary risks.

Yet they knew they shouldn't and couldn't stop Tian Lin from progressing, so they hoped he would undertake fewer dangerous tasks.

"I understand your concerns, but in cultivation, one regresses if not progressing. Besides myself, you should also work hard in your cultivation. You can't remain at the Foundation Establishment Realm forever!"

The Cui'er sisters naturally didn't dare go against him, and Cui'er prepared tea while Yu'er cooked soup to welcome Tian Lin's return.

——

"Thank you all for your warm welcome."

Tian Lin raised his cup, drinking with Ju Yunhai and Zhou Jin siblings, while Ju Yunhai frowned and said, "So according to Junior Brother Tian, the Sword Sect's Sect Master probably won't return?"

"Unless, after the Capital City's migration, those not from that world are expelled back to this world ten thousand years later."

Tian Lin said: "But it's also possible that they weren't originally from that world, so after the migration, they perish in the void."

"If that's the case, the Sword Sect has lost its Divinity Transformation pillar."

After Ju Yunhai spoke, Zhou Jin sneered: "As Brother Tian mentioned, that Sword Sect Master seems reluctant to return to this world. It's foreseeable that even if he had the chance to come back, he absolutely wouldn't."

Staying in that world, there's at least a chance to ascend to Heaven with the Daqi Dynasty. Returning here might mean confronting the Nine Lives Incarnate."

The Nine Lives Incarnate had 'captured' several sect leaders to the Nine Netherworld, even the Wenda Sect's leader couldn't escape the fate of going to the Nine Netherworld.

What exactly was the situation in the Nine Netherworld? Tian Lin and the others didn't know.

But the need for Divinity Transformation experts to guard its borders indicated great danger in that place.

Thus, Zhou Jin's words made sense; it's better to stay there than be found by the Nine Lives Incarnate here and sent to guard the borders. It's better to ascend to another world with the Daqi Dynasty.

"In this world, it's truly impossible to ascend post-Divinity Transformation?"

Zhou Mengjiao, Zhou Jin's sister, looked at Tian Lin, who shook his head and said:

"That's what Sword Sect Master Wu Xi claimed, and I think it's probably true. But this matter of ascension is a worry for Divinity Transformation experts. We, having only Foundation Establishment cultivation, don't even know if we can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, so for now, there's no need to worry about such issues."

"Brother Tian is right. For me, my limit is probably the Golden Core Realm; I don't even dare dream of Nascent Soul, let alone Divinity Transformation Realm?"

Zhou Jin raised his glass and said, "Here's wishing Brother Tian an early entry into the Golden Core Realm."
