I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 54 - 49 The Dao Bell Tolls at Midnight (Please Follow)
"Crossing the sea from here, you can reach Cangzhou."
"Once you arrive at Cangzhou, you will know what it means to be amidst a forest of immortal gates! Only then will you understand that your Yulong Continent is nothing but a deserted island—that people from Zhao Country, Wei Country, and Qiao Country are all but barbarians."
The man’s voice was unusually clear amidst the sound of the waves.
This surprised Tian Lin, as he had entered the ’illusion’ several times before but had never heard any voices.
When Tian Lin opened his eyes, in addition to the man, he saw that there were quite a few other people standing around.
All these people carried knives or hammers, exuding the disposition of brawlers from the worldly society.
Only the man standing at the bow in a Daoist robe was particularly conspicuous.
"Immortal Master Zhou, can you really take us into the immortal gate?"
One man stepped forward, a huge iron hammer in his hand that seemed as light as nothingness to him.
"Hehe, I’ve said that I would take you into the immortal gate, and I certainly will."
As the man spoke, he raised his hand.
A flame sprouted in the palm of his hand, and he said, "Look, I am a Qi Cultivation powerhouse at the first level; would I still deceive you?"
The moment he said this, Tian Lin felt a bad premonition.
He suddenly remembered Manager Xu. The old man had also ’conjured’ a flame and led them to the mines as mine slaves.
Now looking at this Immortal Master Zhou, there seemed to be something unreliable about him.
Could it be that to pass the ninety-ninth stone step, it was necessary to kill this Immortal Master Zhou in front of him?
Tian Lin’s heart chilled, feeling the difficulty was too exaggerated.
Not to mention he was not currently a Qi Refiner, even if he truly achieved the Qi Refinement level of cultivation, he might not be a match for Immortal Master Zhou.
"No, there must be some method to break the situation, it’s just that I can’t think of it for now."
Tian Lin walked to the side of the boat and suddenly pointed to a group of frolicking fish in the sea, "Immortal Master Zhou, what kind of fish are these?"
Immortal Master Zhou looked at the toothy, rhinoceros-sized creatures from the bow and said with a somewhat pale face, "These are Saw-toothed Demons, even a Qi Cultivation powerhouse like me would struggle to escape death if entangled by them."

"The seawater here seems to be quite unusual too, doesn’t it?"
Tian Lin looked beneath the boat at the Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool, listening to Immortal Master Zhou:
"This sea, as terrifying as its name; the so-called ’Immortal Sinking Pond,’ is where even immortals would drown should they fall into the sea. So be very careful not to fall into the sea."
Tian Lin did not know how others would break through the situation, but his own method was to sink to the seabed along with everyone.
The only horrifying thing was the Cavities Poison Dragons in the sea.
According to the description, these Cavities Poison Dragons have detoxifying effects and are treasures for Qi Refiners when traveling.
But the mention of it being a Cavities Poison Dragon, only counts when it actually enters Tian Lin’s mouth.
Now, Tian Lin was more concerned about how not to end up in the mouth of a Saw-toothed Demon.
"Immortal Sinking Pond? Can it really sink immortals? Such a name is quite exaggerated. If even immortals would sink here, I’m afraid this wooden boat is hardly reliable."
On the deck, a martial artist joked.
The ten or so martial artists on deck, all at the Grandmaster Realm, were very lively.
After some thought, Tian Lin quietly made his way to the stern of the ship.
He lacked the strength and courage to confront a Qi Refinement level cultivator.
But he had the skill to bore through the wooden boat and the courage to take the risk of diving into the water.
He struck with his knife, and then from the bow, Immortal Master Zhou asked, "What was that sound?"
Tian Lin at the stern replied, "Don’t worry, Immortal Master Zhou, a Saw-toothed Demon just bumped into the ship. But the creature was too clumsy; after bumping twice, it left."
"Be careful yourself, don’t fall into the sea. If you fall in, even I can’t save you."
Following Immortal Master Zhou’s kind warning, Tian Lin made another cut with his knife.
With his strength, combined with a weapon made from heavy black sandstone and several dozen Silver, no matter how sturdy the deck was, it couldn’t withstand him.
"What is going on now?"
Immortal Master Zhou asked a question, and Tian Lin shouted, "Oh no, the Saw-toothed Demon has broken the ship, water is flooding in."
A burst of hurried footsteps arose, and by the time the martial artists arrived, Immortal Master Zhou had already lightly leaped to the stern of the ship.
Tian Lin had already sheathed his sword and stood nervously beside the broken deck, asking Immortal Master Zhou, "What do we do now?"
"This ship has been smeared with medicine; the Saw-toothed Demon does not usually come near. For no reason at all, why would it ram the ship? And even if it did ram the ship, how could it break the deck as well?"
Immortal Master Zhou could hardly believe it, but Tian Lin said, "Immortal Master, the urgent priority now is to block the hole in the ship first."
Immortal Master Zhou did not suspect Tian Lin of foul play; after all, if the ship sank, no one could escape.
His face pale, he said, "It’s over, once this ship leaks, it can’t be fixed. All of us are really going to become corpses in this Immortal Sinking Pond."
As he spoke, Tian Lin was quietly retreating, but how could several Grandmasters remain calm?
They stepped forward and said, "You are a Qi Refiner of the first layer, surely there must be something you can do?"
Immortal Master Zhou became furious, "A Qi Refiner of the first layer counts for nothing in the Cultivation World! I am not a Foundation Establishment Expert who can fly through the air."
"Since you are a Cultivator, there must be something you can do, right?"
In this life-and-death moment, on this lonely ship at sea, no one could keep their cool.
Finally unable to tolerate it any longer, Immortal Master Zhou grabbed a Grandmaster by the collar and threw him directly into the sea, "My method is just to live a bit longer than you all!"
That Grandmaster was quite skilled, but after being grabbed by Immortal Master Zhou, he was as vulnerable as a child.
On hitting the water, he didn’t even cause a splash, instantly sinking into the sea.
The people on the ship were terrified and couldn’t help but say, "There must be Water Ghosts in this sea, right?"
At this moment, Tian Lin also felt a sense of worry, but what he feared was not falling into the water; he feared that Immortal Master Zhou wouldn’t die quickly enough.
"What to do? Hold onto the wood and try to escape!"
Someone shouted, but the entire ship, along with all the people, had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Soon, the deck that had sunk into the sea became quiet.
Tian Lin watched with his own eyes, even Immortal Master Zhou caused no splash and silently sank with the ship.
[Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool, the blessed place required for the Water Spirit Root to establish foundation, containing an abundance of true water essence, can be directly consumed]
As Tian Lin fell into the sea, this entry filled his mind.
He spread out his arms and floated on the surface of the sea while kicking his legs, attempting to escape this area.
The sea was dead, it couldn’t harm him.
But the Saw-toothed Demon was alive, and at this moment, they were tearing apart the Grandmasters’ corpses in the sea, staining the entire region red with blood.
Tian Lin swam while staring intently below.
He couldn’t see Immortal Master Zhou, but inwardly lamented why Immortal Master Zhou still wasn’t dead!
Because only after Immortal Master Zhou died, could he escape this illusion.
No one knows how much time passed, just as Tian Lin was feeling desperate, the scene before him finally changed.
He looked around somewhat dazedly and found a full moon hanging high, illuminating the smooth platform and the trees on both sides of the platform.
Tian Lin turned around and saw Bai Ye at the ninety-seventh step, and at the ninety-fifth step, the eager-looking Old Man Gou.
"Did... did it work?"
Old Man Gou couldn’t believe it, but Bai Ye laughed heartily, "I always thought that the ninety-ninth step was a killing formation, used by the Yao Yue Sect to trick servant disciples into willingly giving their lives. I never expected, never expected it to be real."
The two were acting even more crazed than Tian Lin on the stone stairs below the platform, but it was Tian Lin who seemed calmest at the moment.
He walked towards the desk on the platform, and there lay a piece of white paper, upon which eight bold characters were written, ’Below the Golden Core, all are as ants’.
The character strokes penetrated the paper, and with one look, Tian Lin knew it was the handwriting of the Sect Ancestor of the Yao Yue Sect.
Because the handwriting was clearly the same as the ’Immortals and mortals forever apart, neither humans nor ghosts shall enter’, inscribed on the sect’s gate.
As Tian Lin picked up the paper, the Dao Bell on the mountain tolled.
This was the first time the Immortal Ladder of Dao Seeking Mountain had tolled the Dao Bell at midnight since its construction.
In an instant, Tian Lin, Bai Ye, and Old Man Gou all looked towards the summit shrouded in night.
They couldn’t see the figure ringing the bell in the gazebo, but they could imagine that there was an old man in a Taoist robe who struck the Dao Bell the moment Tian Lin lifted the paper.
The bell’s resonant ring spread throughout the entire Yao Yue Sect, and in an instant, the Yao Yue Sect erupted into excitement.
