I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 342 306: First Entry into the Secret Realm

In Class A of the Daoist Inquiry Sect, there are over nine hundred disciples. This number might seem large, but divided among the ninety-nine peaks, there are only about ten Class A disciples per peak.

This means that when a Class B disciple is promoted to Class A, it immediately causes a sensation throughout the entire peak.

Tian Lin initially planned to invite just a few people, like Ju Yunhai and the Zhou brothers.

In the end, he had no choice but to host a banquet at his new cave mansion for more than a dozen Class B disciples and twenty Class C and D disciples.

But this banquet also had an advantage, as all the disciples from Class B to D were from aristocratic families.

Even though some of these aristocratic descendants were poor and not valued by their families.

However, they still had, to some extent, the support of their families, unlike Tian Lin, who was extremely poor.

The various gifts brought by these people, if sold, could be exchanged for quite a lot of Spirit Stones.

It was also at this banquet that Tian Lin saw Wang Yanyu for the second time.

Since returning from Cangzhou last time, Tian Lin had not met Senior Brother Zhuang, so after returning the Storage Bag Wang Yanyu had given him, the two had no further interaction.

This time, when she attended the banquet, she did not seek out Tian Lin again, nor did she ask him to help contact Zhai Xingzi; instead, she handed Tian Lin an invitation.

Looking at the wedding invitation, Tian Lin felt somewhat surprised.

Especially when he saw that the groom's surname wasn't Zhuang or Qu, Tian Lin found the invitation rather strange.

But when he observed Wang Yanyu's expression, her mood was evidently good, lacking the cold and distant demeanor she had when he first met her.

"Senior Sister Wang's grand wedding, I will certainly attend next month," Tian Lin said.

Tian Lin handed the invitation to Yu'er for safekeeping because there were too many people at the banquet for him to chat with Wang Yanyu alone.

Soon, Zhou Jin walked over, holding a wine pot, and poured a drink for Tian Lin:

"I knew long ago that Senior Brother Tian, you are not a common person. Seeing you today proves it. The speed at which you advanced is legendary in our Daoist Inquiry Sect."

But Tian Lin shook his head and said, "There are many stronger than me. With my background, I fear I can only stop at Class A for life."

At this point, Ju Yunhai patted Tian Lin's shoulder and said:

"Don't overthink it, Junior Brother Tian. Your achievements are something many aristocratic descendants can't compare to. If you can enter the inner sect in the future, that's best. If not, with your talent, you won't be inferior to those Inner Sect Disciples!"

Unlike with Zhou Jin, even though Tian Lin became a Class A disciple, Ju Yunhai still referred to Tian Lin as Junior Brother.

After the banquet concluded, Tian Lin first saw off those he was not familiar with, leaving only Ju Yunhai and Zhou Jin in the cave mansion.

Tian Lin sincerely thanked Ju Yunhai: "Without Senior Brother Ju, I probably wouldn't have rushed to complete three tasks, nor had the chance to enter Class A. Honestly, Senior Brother Ju is more suited for Class A than I am."

He guessed that Ju Yunhai must feel a bit unhappy, so he decided to be forthright about it.

"Don't overthink it, Junior Brother Tian. While I do feel regret, there's nothing to complain about. Without Miss Mei, I wouldn't have been able to complete those three tasks alone.

With my strength, I'm certainly not enough to enter Class A. Even if I became a Class A disciple by luck, I would most likely die in the secret realm."

Ju Yunhai's expression didn't seem deceptive; Tian Lin knew he had genuinely let it go and thus stopped worrying about it. Instead, he asked Zhou Jin:

"What's happened with Wang Yanyu? Just two months ago, she was asking me to bring things to Zhai Xingzi, and now, less than two months later, she's getting married?"

Tian Lin asked Zhou Jin, puzzled, and Zhou Jin sighed:

"No one knows what she's thinking! Anyway, she got engaged last month, and it's to that foolish young master from the Su family. She even had a big fight with her family over it and is no longer part of the Wang family."

"The Su family? If I remember correctly, the Su family fell into decline after the patriarch's death. And that young clan leader of the Su family spends his days indulging in frivolities without seeking improvement; even with family support, he's only at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, right?"

Zhou Jin replied to Ju Yunhai: "Exactly! While it's said to be better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, marrying into the Su family to become the young clan leader's wife not only isolates her from the Wang family, but the Su family's situation is now dire. They have little family wealth left and are heavily in debt, so what can they offer her?

In contrast, marrying into the Qu family and becoming Senior Brother Qu's wife would gain her support from the Wang family and backing from Qu the Great Elder. Advancing to the Golden Core would then be a given.

So, really, we don't understand what Wang Yanyu is up to."

Tian Lin didn't care much about what Wang Yanyu was up to; now, he was more concerned with his upcoming cultivation.

Next, Tian Lin wanted to consider learning more Divine Skills to find the path that suited him best.

Additionally, he needed to prepare for the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, which required significantly expanding his Sea of Consciousness and enhancing his Soul Power.

To do the former — substantial practice of other Divine Skills — he must rely on Cold Fragrance Leaf. This means he must venture into the secret realm. He had to remain rooted in the sect and not venture outside until establishing full contact with the secret realm to access it independently without the sect's Array.

For the latter, he needed to go to the Immortal Sinking Pond, where a vast amount of Sword Qi awaited to expand his Sea of Consciousness and enhance his Soul Power.

After pondering for a while, Tian Lin decided to first try venturing into the secret realm within the sect.

The following afternoon, Tian Lin, holding his Token, reached the mountain peak.

The Array of the secret realm was inside the Daoist Temple at the mountain's peak. Without Elder Xue's assistance, the Daoist Child led Tian Lin onto the Transmission Array.

Though called a Transmission Array, it resembled a Magic Altar more.

The Daoist Child handed three sticks of incense to Tian Lin and Immortal Mei. Both paid respects to the Nether River God with the incense before stepping onto the Transmission Array.

Instantly, talisman paper fluttered around the altar as a gust of sinister wind swept Tian Lin and Immortal Mei into a vortex.

To avoid being separated en route, Tian Lin and Immortal Mei held each other's hands tightly, aimlessly traversing through the darkness.

Before long, the wind subsided, and with a 'bang,' the two of them tumbled to the ground.

Tian Lin grabbed a handful of soil, stood up, and said, "This is sealed earth, so we have indeed entered the secret realm."

Immortal Mei also brushed off the dust from her clothes, but as she stood up, a large tree beside her wrapped around her entirely, moments away from encasing her within its trunk.

Tian Lin reacted swiftly, raising his hand to send a ball of flame at Immortal Mei's chest.

His Great Sun Technique had reached perfection, and the True Qi-released flames were intensely hot.

The tree branch entwining Immortal Mei instantly ignited, retreating from the heat. Nonetheless, because of this, Immortal Mei's clothes were inevitably scorched, and the two white patches on her chest turned black and emitted a scent of cooked meat.
