I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 348 312 Trapped

Ordinary people entering the secret realm must do so through a secret technique.

Using a secret technique to bring people into the secret realm is not easy for one or two, let alone a whole village?

"Out of nowhere, who dug out a village from the land of mass burial along with the wild mountains and brought it into this secret realm?

What is the connection between this village and the evil spirits here?"

As Fairy Mei asked, Tian Lin had already pulled out an incense stick from his Storage Bag.

"Tian Lin, an Outer Disciple of the Wendao Sect from Gourd Mountain, seeks the path from the Patriarchs!"

After reciting the mantra, Tian Lin did not receive any response.

Fairy Mei couldn't help but question, "Could it be that you recited the mantra wrong? Or is it that this is your first time invoking divine power, so you're not proficient enough?"

Tian Lin looked at the burning incense stick and said, "I wish it were my own lack of proficiency causing the secret technique to fail.

I only fear that my secret technique was correct, but this place prohibits the use of such techniques."

Upon hearing Tian Lin's words, Fairy Mei's heart sank.

She thought for a moment and simply took out the Divine Lady Tree and planted it in the soil.

The Divine Lady Tree instantly began to grow wildly, sprouting countless roots. These roots quickly broke through the glow of the Divine Candle, contending for territory with the roots outside the glow.

With a series of crackling sounds, many of the roots attacking the roots of the Divine Lady Tree were counterattacked by them.

The Divine Lady Tree continued to expand, and in the village, the roots covering the ground began to ebb away like a tide.

At this time, Tian Lin and Fairy Mei were both sheltered under the Divine Lady Tree, and even if he extinguished the Divine Candle, they were no longer attacked.

Behind him, Fairy Mei grasped a handful of flower petals with her right hand. She scattered these petals around, which transformed into light clusters that illuminated the long-sealed village.

"There's someone over there!"

Tian Lin pointed to the threshing ground behind the stone stele, where the voice of a female corpse rang out: "Senior Brother, how are you doing now?"

There was no response from a male corpse in the village, and it remained extremely quiet.

Tian Lin and Fairy Mei were convinced that the figure at the threshing ground was the female corpse, and they quickened their pace towards her.

The female corpse also turned her head and said to Tian Lin and Fairy Mei:

"This village has been dominated by a tree demon, which was sealed here by someone. Unfortunately, the seal has loosened over time, allowing many ghost babies to crawl out of the secret realm."

Just as she finished speaking, the laughter of babies rang out in the darkness outside the village.

Fairy Mei followed closely behind the female corpse, running towards the outside of the village.

Seeing this, Tian Lin followed her closely, asking Fairy Mei, "Won't there be a problem if we don't take the Divine Lady Tree with us?"

"Let's leave the Divine Lady Tree at the village entrance. With it here, we don't have to worry about the tree demon's attack. I can retrieve it anytime within its range."

As they spoke, they quickly passed through a few thatched huts and reached the outskirts of the village.

Outside the village, a bamboo forest was growing, and it was crawling with ghost babies.

These ghost babies emitted various strange sounds, posing as if they were ready to leap from the bamboo towards Tian Lin and the others.

Fairy Mei said, "My Divine Lady Tree dares not approach this bamboo forest. It seems the tree demon is hiding within it."

The female corpse was about to enter the bamboo forest but was held back by Tian Lin.

As the female corpse turned to look at Tian Lin, he pointed to the ground and said:

"Someone has set up an array here. Rushing in hastily might lead to not only the tree demon's attack but also the array's attack."

Indeed, within the female corpse's line of sight, the bamboo forest was filled with Boundary Steles.

Logically, each hill could have a Boundary Stele to demarcate boundaries.

But why use so many Boundary Steles for a small bamboo forest? And furthermore, these Boundary Steles are not ordinary stones; they are engraving array stones.

"Such large engraving array stones, each one is of immense value. Using so many valuable engraving array stones to set up an array, this is indeed a grand gesture—I reckon only an Inner Sect Disciple of the late Golden Core stage could afford such extravagance."

Fairy Mei said, "Conversely, an array requiring such extravagance to establish must be sealing at least an evil entity of the late Golden Core stage."

The female corpse did not appreciate their calm analysis. Besides wanting revenge for her child, more importantly, she was worried about her husband's safety.

She dared not rashly enter the bamboo forest, only calling out, "Senior Brother, how are you doing now?"

But within the dense forest, apart from the cries of the ghost babies, there was no response.

She turned around and asked Tian Lin and Fairy Mei, "Do either of you understand arrays?"

Fairy Mei frowned and shook her head, "This array seems somewhat obscure. I don't specialize in array arts, so I can't recognize this array."

Tian Lin also shook his head. These open engraving array stones were clearly placed there. But without a high level of expertise in arrays, he had no idea where to start. Unless he had an Array Map, how could he dare to venture in recklessly?

"What should we do then? Are we just going to stand here doing nothing?"

The female corpse seemed to have thought of something and took off her earring from her right ear.

Her small earring was adorned with a pendant made of a piece of square blackwood.

But once the blackwood was placed on the ground, it instantly enlarged, transforming into a black coffin.

In an instant, a Walking Corpse appeared from the coffin, clearly a corpse slave of the female corpse.

Under the female corpse's control, the Walking Corpse flew into the bamboo forest.

In just a moment, countless ghost babies pounced upon the Walking Corpse.

But this Walking Corpse was fierce without skin, seemingly not far from becoming a Walking Stiff.

For a moment, those ghost babies couldn't tear the Walking Corpse into pieces. Instead, they were dragged four to five zhangs by it.

But just at that moment, when the Walking Corpse ventured deep into the bamboo forest, the Boundary Steles released thunderbolts in an instant.

With a rumbling noise, more than half of the ghost babies were reduced to ashes, and the Walking Corpse was directly pulverized.

"I still have one Walking Stiff!"

The female corpse removed the red earring from her right ear, but Tian Lin stopped her, saying:

"Even a Walking Stiff might not withstand such thunderbolts. Didn't you notice, Senior Sister, that the thunderbolts from the Boundary Steles earlier had the power of a late Golden Core stage blow?

This array is at least set up by a Nascent Soul stage expert. Although the array has worn out over time and its power has diminished, to be able to seal a tree demon with such an array, it must at least be a Nascent Soul level tree demon. Unless a Nascent Soul elder comes, anyone going in is courting death."

The female corpse halted, but couldn't resist saying, "This space is isolated from the outside, making it impossible to leave the secret realm and return to the land of mass burial from here. How can we contact a sect's Nascent Soul elder?"

Tian Lin looked back at the village behind him: "I think we should first carefully explore our surroundings. Maybe we'll find a way out."

In any case, Tian Lin was not willing to take risks. He only needed to ensure there would be no life-threatening danger for a month.

If he could stay here for a month, the Daoist Child would surely report his disappearance to Elder Xue.

Though every time he entered a secret realm, the teleportation location was never the same, Elder Xue would surely be able to use divination to track Tian Lin's whereabouts—as when Elder Xue's grandson died in the secret realm, it was Elder Xue who ventured in to find his remains and brought the body out of the secret realm.
