I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

The simple-minded Ao Niu lamented the Divine Poison Frog’s unannounced departure for a long while.

 “Moo… He was such a good frog, why did he have to go?” Ao Niu lamented with disappointment and sorrow.

 An Lin’s expression darkened. “Don’t make it sound like the frog died!”

 Tears welled up in Ao Niu’s eyes. “I saw it as a friend. It was so wise and so street-smart… Why would it do something like this?”

 “It’s quite simple to understand. Staying with me is quite dangerous.” An Lin shrugged nonchalantly. “Ao Niu, I’ll give you a choice as well. You can choose to leave us, and I won’t say anything.”

 Ao Niu shook his head without any hesitation. “No, I’ll stay. The Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool is no longer a place I can go back to. As for going somewhere else, I might as well stay with you instead. You’re so awesome; I feel like I’ll have a bright future following you.”

 An Lin faltered slightly upon hearing this before a smile appeared on his face. “You’ve got a good eye.”

 Ao Niu was quite a simple-minded cow, which made it quite determined toward certain things. It could be a surprisingly strong trait at times.

 Everyone stayed for a day at the Pill Tower.

 An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, Xiao Ze, the Jade Bone Immortal Bug, Dongfang Zhuangshi, Gluttony, and Ao Niu each took three of Dongfang Zhuangshi’s concealment spirit pills.

 An Lin and Xu Xiaolan also used their immortal-pill coupons to exchange for immortal pills.

 An Lin exchanged for a Heavenly Spirit Pill, which was a sixth-grade immortal pill that could elevate his consciousness to its maximum possible extent or even beyond for a short period of time.

 The pill refinement masters of the Opposite Shore Realm had done a lot of research on the consciousness of living beings, and they had many types of immortal pills to enhance one’s consciousness.

 An Lin had chosen this particular immortal pill from all the different types of immortal pills on offer as he wanted to see just how powerful his consciousness would be once it was elevated to the maximum or even beyond that.

 Of course, this immortal pill had to be kept for critical moments.

 “I’m going now, Fanny. I’ll contact you once I get back to the Four Nine Immortal Sect.” Xiao Ze placed an inky-black dragon scale in Fanny’s hand with an earnest expression before waving in farewell.

 “M-hm, I’ll be awaiting further news from you.” Fanny’s smile was as beautiful as a flower, and she made an elegant twirl as she waved her hand through the air, upon which countless specks of golden light fell like rain into the night sky below.

 This was a farewell ceremony unique to her tribe, and it was a very beautiful sight to behold.

 An Lin and the others each swallowed a concealment spirit pill before setting off for the Kingdom of the Nine States.

 The Kingdom of the Nine States was located in the southeastern direction from the Opposite Shore Realm while Pill City was located in the western region of the Opposite Shore Realm. As such, there was quite a distance to travel, and they had to be on their guard against the Divine Bat Emperor’s forces.

 The Pill Sage was quite concerned about the safety of An Lin and the others, but there was nothing he could do.

 Dao Integration Stage mighty figures were naturally quite sensitive toward one another’s presence. If the Pill Sage accompanied them, it would be more likely to attract the Divine Bat Emperor’s attention. If the Divine Bat Emperor decided to pay the Pill Sage a visit and extend a greeting, their cover would be blown.

 That wasn’t to say that the Pill Sage was afraid of the Divine Bat Emperor. It would only be very troublesome if they did encounter one another and the Pill Sage’s lies were uncovered. If worse came to worst, a battle could erupt, which would lay waste to Pill City.

 An Lin was also too embarrassed to ask the Pill Sage to accompany them. After all, they had swindled his daughter, were they really going to pull him down with them as well? Thus, they decided to travel to the Kingdom of the Nine States on their own.

 A black dragon over ten thousand feet in length soared through the skies, sweeping up gale-force winds in his wake.

 An Lin and the others sat on the dragon’s head while looking down as the peculiar continent below them flashed past their eyes.

 As they approached the central region of the Opposite Shore Realm, a certain type of law restriction began to appear.

 Everyone sensed the power of decay in the air, alongside a sense of death and darkness.

An Lin, Xiao Ze, and the others all felt as if their powers were being repressed in this place.

 The more vitality one possessed, the more debilitated they would feel here.

 However, Dongfang Zhuangshi and Gluttony were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

 The closer one was to death, the more powerful they would feel here.

 “Ahahaha… I like this flavor.” The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes with pleasure.

 Xu Xiaolan wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words in the end.

 However, An Lin couldn’t repress the urge to speak up. “Uncle Dongfang, are you really ok? You look like you’re about to die!”

 “I’ve died many times before, so this is nothing to me!” Dongfang Zhuangshi replied with a smile.

 Gluttony also chimed in, “Strictly speaking, Master is currently not a true life form, but instead, he’s somewhere between life and death.”

 An Lin was speechless.

 This place was heaven for the dead.

 Unlike creatures like Fanny, who was able to absorb the power of death from this place naturally, many of the living beings here did not have this ability. In that case, they had to cultivate in yin-type cultivation methods in order to thrive here.

 “Hey, look down below! There are so many zombie waves!” Xu Xiaolan let loose a cry of surprise.

 An Lin looked down to find two waves of lifeless zombie monsters clashing with one another. Both sides comprised of armies numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

 The zombie monsters tore at the bodies of their enemies and fought in extremely crazy ways. There was one monster that had its head bitten off, but it was still able to continue moving and shredding its enemies with its sharp claws.

 It looked like this was a clash between two massive armies, but there were actually only two participants in this battle.

 These were two Soul Formation Stage necromancers standing behind their respective armies as they cast spell techniques while controlling their respective zombie armies.

 “Where did they find so many bodies?” An Lin furrowed his brows.

 He was a little disgruntled by the sight of living beings using dead beings as weapons.

 The Jade Bone Immortal Butterfly fluttered her wings while resting on An Lin’s shoulders. “The Opposite Shore Realm is a renowned paradise for the dead. Many living beings close to death would come here as their powers would be enhanced in the Opposite Shore Realm, thereby allowing them to live longer. Because of this, the Opposite Shore Realm has become an ideal graveyard that has attracted many dying beings.”

 An Lin: “…”

 So this was a natural graveyard?

 Someone on the brink of death could come here and prance around for a bit longer… It had to be said, this was quite alluring. At least, it would be to living beings that were close to death.

 This was one of the most repugnant places on the entire continent, but this was not the case for dying creatures. They were extremely fond of the Opposite Shore Realm.

 An Lin and the others looked down at the battle below before setting their sights on the direction of the Kingdom of the Nine States.

 Xiao Ze and the others had concealed their auras, so the two necromancers didn’t even detect that such a gargantuan creature was flying over them. The sudden burst of raging winds gave them quite a fright, leading them to believe that their opponent had unleashed a wind-type spell technique.

 However, it was actually just the winds Xiao Ze swept up while passing through.

 Everyone flew peacefully for a while, and they had already reached the southeastern border of the Opposite Shore Realm after a day, where the temperatures were slowly dropping.

 To the east was the Holy Glacial Lands, and they could travel directly into the Kingdom of the Nine States if they continued in the southeastern direction.

 An Lin and the others were starting to get nervous, and they focused more on their surroundings.

 It didn’t take a genius to guess that the Divine Bat Emperor would have definitely set up an obstacle at the border of the Opposite Shore Realm.

 Boom boom boom…

 Powerful energy fluctuations suddenly erupted in the east.

 Dongfang Zhuangshi’s brows furrowed slightly. “There appears to be a battle raging there.”

 “That doesn’t concern us. Let’s hurry up and get out of here.” An Lin didn’t want to stir up any trouble.

 Boom!

 A frosty blue sword projection sliced through the earth like a celestial sword, slicing apart the ground below for several dozen kilometers and freezing an entire city in the process.

 “Gasp…”

 Everyone’s pupils contracted. The battling forces were extremely powerful!

 “Quick! Let’s get out of here! Go south!” An Lin urged.

 They could not afford to have something go wrong in their escape at a time like this.

 Xiao Ze was also aware of this, and he began to fly toward the south.

 The battle was taking place in the east, so they would be able to avoid it if they flew toward the south, right?

Boom boom boom…

 Two extremely terrifying bursts of energies erupted in the south before clashing violently with one another, causing heaven and earth to cave in from the overwhelming aura of the divine dao.

 An Lin: “… Let’s go toward the west!”
