I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong
Chapter 380 343 Don't Come Over

"Fellow Daoist, I am the True Person Tingyu from Tingyu Pavilion. If you can help me this time, Tingyu Pavilion will never forget your kindness."

Seemingly afraid that Tian Lin would leave, the True Person Tingyu hurriedly made promises within the ice mountain.

Unfortunately, Tian Lin had never heard of the True Person Tingyu, nor of Tingyu Pavilion.

The only thing Tian Lin knew was that Tingyu Pavilion was definitely not a major sect of the immortal gate.

As for the character of the person before him, Tian Lin knew nothing at all at the moment, so how could he dare to take a risk to save them?

"The ice is too thick, I am already exhausted, forgive me for being unable to lend a hand," Tian Lin said and left, only hearing the angry curses and swearing of the True Person Tingyu behind him.

Tian Lin wandered around Immortal Sinking Pond for a few rounds, seeing five intact ice mountains as big as hills.

It's just that apart from the known still-living True Person Tingyu, how many other people were alive in these five ice mountains remained unknown.

Similarly, Tian Lin couldn't detect how many of those who had already broken through the ice mountain were still alive.

Anyone who could break out of the ice was undoubtedly a Nascent Soul practitioner.

Now, where on earth were these Nascent Soul practitioners?

Tian Lin believed that others had left the ice mountain before him.

He had been wandering around the seabed of Immortal Sinking Pond for several days; although the seabed was vast, it was still difficult for people to run into each other inside.

But those who could leave the ice mountain would all be Nascent Soul practitioners at the very least.

Once cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Realm, traversing the Immortal Sinking Pond would only take half a moment.

Over the past few days, if those people hadn't left the Immortal Sinking Pond, they would have run into him.

But in reality, during this time, he saw nothing but a few sea fish.

"Where did all those Nascent Soul cultivators go?" Tian Lin suddenly realized and immediately looked down at his feet.

Since the Immortal Sinking Pond was surrounded by barriers, Tian Lin had walked around on all sides of the sea, except only overlooking the ground beneath.

Because the seabed was also frozen with solid ice formed by Sword Qi, Tian Lin instinctively thought the ground was a dead end.

But on closer inspection, the ice at the ground was not thick.

To verify his idea, Tian Lin attempted to travel once again around the Immortal Sinking Pond.

This time it was different from before; he no longer focused on whether there were people around but solely on whether there were holes in the ground's ice layer.

Diligence paid off. It was only a short time later when Tian Lin finally saw a hole in the ice.

The hole wasn't large, but it was big enough for a person to pass through.

Looking at the hole, Tian Lin wasn't in a hurry to dive into it and use the Earth Escape Skill to leave.

Instead, he continued exploring the Immortal Sinking Pond and finally discovered three holes at the bottom of the sea after searching twice.

"Three people must have escaped alive from the ice mountains before me. They all broke through the ice in the ground and used the Earth Escape Skill to leave!"

This time, Tian Lin no longer hesitated and finally found a hole to dive into directly.

The foot-thick icy ground consisted of the seabed's silt.

Without the obstruction of the ice, Tian Lin instantly tunneled more than three feet deep with the Earth Escape Skill.

He didn't know where those who used the Earth Escape Skill ahead of him eventually went. He targeted a direction and performed the Escape Technique towards the edge of the Immortal Sinking Pond's barrier.

Soon, he reached the edge of the barrier, but what greeted his view wasn't a way out of the Immortal Sinking Pond but a mountain gate.

This mountain gate was unfamiliar to Tian Lin, yet seemed highly familiar.

Unfamiliar because the name of the gate was 'Heavenly Gate,' which Tian Lin had neither heard of nor seen; no mountain gate was named Heavenly Gate.

And familiar because on the stone pillars of this Heavenly Gate were two lines of words Tian Lin had heard and seen many times: 'Immortals and mortals forever separate, ghosts and gods keep out.'

"Is this another Dao Seeking Mountain?"

Looking at the stone steps behind the mountain gate, Tian Lin had an inexplicable feeling of eeriness.

He felt as if he was back at the Dao Seeking Mountain of Yao Yue Sect, but he was certain he was in Cangzhou now, so this couldn't be the Dao Seeking Mountain of Yao Yue Sect.

"So even tunneling through the ground cannot get you out of the Immortal Sinking Pond? The exit isn't hidden underground?"

Staring at the mountain gate, Tian Lin felt like there might be a way out behind it.

But the eight words on the gate were obviously a warning. This mountain gate seemed to be both the path of life and a dead end.

Tian Lin dared not rashly enter the mountain gate by himself and flew towards another direction, but soon realized that no matter how hard he flew, he always ended up back in front of this gate.

The Immortal Sword seemingly exerting its influence behind him seemed to be indicating that he must enter the mountain gate to leave—if the Immortal Sword was indeed behind all this.

"Is this really the only way?"

Facing the mountain gate, Tian Lin hesitated quite a bit.

But just then, a voice rang out from afar, "Oh boy, you refused to save me, and now I've finally found you!"

Tian Lin's expression changed slightly as a light similar to a meteor flew toward him.

The person recognized Tian Lin's aura, and Tian Lin recognized the person's voice.

It seemed that not lending a hand to help the True Person Tingyu escape the ice was now being held against him!

"The junior's cultivation is too low, how could I possibly help the senior? Now that the senior could break out of the ice mountain on your own, it proves your cultivation is profound, so you don't need the junior's help at all."

"Enough with the nonsense! For you to enter the Immortal Sinking Pond and not die, there's something strange about you. I will extract your soul to uncover your secret."

A Nascent Soul practitioner's speed was unbelievably fast, leaving Tian Lin no chance to hide.

But just when Tian Lin wanted to rush into the mountain gate, and the True Person Tingyu stepped onto the gate, Tian Lin's body suddenly froze, losing all his cultivation.

Could a Nascent Soul practitioner actually strip away someone's cultivation?

Tian Lin's face changed abruptly, feeling inexplicably terrified.

But even more shocked than him was the True Person Tingyu.

"What's going on!"

The True Person Tingyu looked at Tian Lin and shouted, "Did you do something?"

Tian Lin found it rather mystifying and asked the True Person Tingyu, "What do you mean by that, senior? When did I do anything strange?"

Tian Lin's attitude was humble, yet the True Person Tingyu remained arrogant, "If it wasn't what you did, then it must be——"

He realized he had overestimated Tian Lin, and looked up at the mountain gate with dread.

He became certain that this mountain gate held something peculiar, so much so that even someone as strong as him lost all his cultivation upon stepping on it.

"I get it, when the senior mentioned me doing something, you were saying I stripped away your cultivation?"

Tian Lin chuckled, and the True Person Tingyu's face changed, quickly responding, "Nonsense, that's not what I meant!"

"The senior's voice sounds quite old; it seems your cultivation really has diminished, doesn't it?"

Tian Lin continued probing, while the True Person Tingyu's face changed, touching his own face.

He noticed that after his cultivation disappeared, age spots appeared on him.

Contrastingly, despite Tian Lin's loss of cultivation, due to his youth, he rather appeared robust and strong.

"What are you doing? Don't come closer, or I'll call for help!"

This once arrogant Nascent Soul practitioner now retreated repeatedly. Just as he tried to escape the mountain gate, Tian Lin grabbed his leg and dragged him back.
