I Might Be A Fake Cultivator
chapter-559

Outside the white cave, Dao Ye was hiding surreptitiously behind a large rock, having used a mystic technique to conceal himself.

He had already completely abandoned any thoughts of launching a sneak attack. The only reason he was here was to better observe An Lin in order to gather information for the Moonlit Night Monarch.

Dao Ye felt like there weren't many people like him left. Not everyone was brave enough to risk their lives for the benefit of the greater good. After all, the person he was spying on was the top-rate Dragon Tribe mighty figure, An Lin! This was a mighty being who was able to scare a Return to Void Intermediate Stage black dragon sh*tless with just his aura alone!

Observing a monstrous being like this required a lot of bravery. He was going to ask the Dark Wing Emperor for a reward once he returned to Tai Chu Continent. It would be best if he could also curry the Moonlit Night's favor through his selfless actions, hehehe…

Just as he was chuckling internally to himself, a few people began to exit the white cave.

Huh? They're coming out. An Lin appears a little depressed; did he encounter some difficulties?

That young man with delicate features appeared to Xiao Ze's human form. Why did he look so happy? And why was he latching onto An Lin's sleeve? When did they develop such a close relationship?

"Where are we going next, Master?" Xiao Ze asked with a broad grin in an amiable and innocent display.

An Lin's lips twitched upon seeing this facade.

This was a monster who had lived for countless years; what the hell was he doing pretending to be an adorable little kid!?

"We're going to search for more golden Realm Essence Crystals. I'm cultivating in a special technique that requires the use of golden Realm Essence Crystals," An Lin replied with an enigmatic expression.

Confused, Xiao Ze blinked his bright eyes and asked, "Master, are twenty-three golden Realm Essence Crystals not enough?"

"Hehe, nope! I have to collect a hundred golden Realm Essence Crystals, and I'm still missing twenty-seven," An Lin said and chuckled.

"That means Master already has seventy-three golden Realm Essence Crystals! That's amazing!"

Xiao Ze really was shocked this time, and his praise was genuine.

He knew how rare golden Realm Essence Crystals were in this realm. For An Lin to be able to collect fifty golden Realm Essence Crystals in the span of only around twenty days was unimaginable.

"Congratulations on your haul of treasures, Young Sir An Lin. I've done everything I have vowed to do, so I'll be taking my leave now." Mi Ya bowed slightly to An Lin.

An Lin only recalled Mi Ya was still in his party upon hearing this. He paused for a moment and only released her after making her swear a non-disclosure vow.

After taking care of matters here, everyone decided to head north to a neighboring tectonic plate after a short discussion.

Dao Ye's legs finally gave out from under him, and he collapsed to the ground after seeing An Lin's party disappear into a spatial rift.

"Huff huff… that was way too intense…"

He sighed while fear remained on his face. "To think he was able to subdue a black dragon at the pinnacle of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage and turned him into his disciple… An Lin… you truly are a monster!"

On this colorful and vibrant land, all manners of unusual creatures roamed, and holy music from an unknown source could be heard throughout heaven and earth. The density of vital energy here was ten times that of the outside world. This was an area fit to become the cultivating ground of a huge sect.

On top of that, this bizarre land was over five thousand kilometers wide!

A purple python several thousand feet in length opened its cavernous mouth before abruptly pouncing toward a certain figure.

Whoosh!

A blue sword projection flashed past, and the power of extreme frost froze heaven and earth within a radius of over a kilometer.

The python was still frozen in a pouncing motion when its body was sliced in half. It then fell to the ground like two halves of a gigantic ice sculpture.

A tall and slender woman in a golden robe sheathed her white longsword with a cold expression before turning to the woman beside her. "Palace Leader Yan Hua, there will be life-threatening danger up ahead, even to us. Are you sure there is a fragment of the realm core here?"

The snow maiden cradling the ice doll in her hands nodded in response. "I can feel how excited my ice doll is. There's definitely something up ahead that it has taken a keen interest in."

"Should we continue, Rou Gu? I feel like it's a better choice for us to go to the Earth Demon Realm to continue our search," Su Jingxiang expressed her opinion.

The three mighty figures from the Holy Glacial Lands had finally all gathered together, but there wasn't much time left for them. They had less than ten days, during which they had to find a fragment of the realm core…

The leader of the Return to Void team, Rou Gu, hesitated momentarily before speaking, "You two were talking about a fairy that had absorbed a fragment of the realm core. I was wondering if we could capture her next time we encounter her and use her as a sacrifice in place of a fragment of the realm core…"

"That group is extremely powerful. It would be next to impossible for us to snatch the fairy away from them. We should pin our hopes on this continent instead," Yan Hua immediately replied.

She didn't want to provoke An Lin no matter what.

Su Jingxiang also expressed the same opinion on this matter.

"Hehe, strength isn't absolute sometimes." Rou Gu didn't really take their advice to heart as a plan began to hatch in her mind.

The three of them continued onward, and the mutant beasts they encountered became more and more powerful.

After slaying a humanoid cow with four heads, they arrived at the border of a vast plain that stretched as far as the eye could see. There was a black line running along the ground that indicated the border between the two areas.

"Are we ready? We won't be able to turn back after we cross this line; our only option will be to continue forward," Rou Gu asked in a solemn voice.

The other two snow maidens nodded in unison with resolute expressions. Those who enter wouldn't be able to turn back as the laws of heaven and earth would prohibit them from doing so, and they also wouldn't be able to use spatial manipulation to get to the other side. They had to exit by crossing through the black line on the other side of the Remorseless Realm, which meant that they would have to cross through the entirety of the Remorseless Realm.

At the center of the Remorseless Realm was an extremely dangerous area.

One particular emotion that was within all living beings would be greatly amplified upon reaching that area, and that emotion would remain with them until they reached the other side.

Thus, that area was known as the Realm of Boundless Emotions.

What emotions would be amplified…

There were some emotions that could heavily influence their actions and directly affect their combat prowess. As such, the three snow maidens were all quite nervous.

Rou Gu, Su Jingxiang, and Yan Hua looked at one another before crossing over the black line at the same time…

Suddenly, the perpetually calm and collected Palace Leader Rou Gu collapsed to the ground as she howled while sobbing.

Su Jingxiang looked blankly at the stars in the sky, thinking about who-knows-what.

Yan Hua's reaction was even more vehement. She slapped Rou Gu across the face and roared with rage, "Cry my f*cking a*s!"

Rou Gu: "???"
