I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 484
Chapter 484: Crushing Wealth!
An Lin pointed to the four golden towers beside the Divine Lake. “I want those four towers. State your price.”
The Holy Fairy Maiden was shocked to hear this. “You… you want the Holy Spirit Towers?!”
An Lin nodded. “That’s right, I want those Holy Spirit Towers.”
He didn’t know what these Holy Spirit Towers were, but he knew that there was a Realm Essence Crystal at each and every core of those towers, and they were the highest-grade golden ones!
A reluctant yet firm expression appeared on Tina’s face as she shook her head. “I can’t give you those. The Holy Spirit Towers are treasures left here by Pangu when he created Tai Chu Continent. They’re not very useful and can only nurture the Divine Lake, but they have extremely symbolic importance, so I can’t give them away!”
An Lin pursed his lips. “Pangu did indeed create Tai Chu Continent, but are you sure he created your Tai Chu Continent?”
“What do you mean by that, Giant An Lin? Isn’t our continent the only Tai Chu Continent?” Tina asked with a confused expression.
An Lin brought out his phone and opened a photo app before flicking through the photos within. “Have a look at these.”
Tina blinked her green eyes she stared at the images on the phone with curiosity in her gaze.
“Ah… Is that a floating continent? It’s so beautiful!
“What place is this? The tree is so big, are those people walking on the branches? It looks a little like the world trees recorded in the historical texts!
“My god… How could there be such a wide lake? It really is infinitely vast! No! That should be the ocean recorded in the historical texts!
“So there really are mountains that can extend into the clouds! Just how tall are they?”
…
Tina became more and more absorbed in the images. She finally raised her head after a long which to look up at An Lin as her eyes glowed like a pair of emeralds. “Giant An Lin, where did you record these images? I’ve never seen any of those places!”
An Lin smiled in reply. “These photos were all taken on Tai Chu Continent.”
“You’re lying! I don’t know of such places with such beautiful scenery on Tai Chu Continent. You must have discovered a certain mystic realm!” Tina retorted.
An Lin shook his head. “These are all photos taken in the real Tai Chu Continent, not this place. This is the real Tai Chu Continent, a continent with no end in sight.
“All these photos cannot even encompass even 0.01% of the area of the real Tai Chu Continent! In comparison to the real Tai Chu Continent, this continent is like a lake trying to compare itself to an ocean.
“No, it’s like a pond trying to compare itself to the ocean!”
Tina’s body shuddered, and she only came to her senses after a few seconds as she shook her head in disbelief. “Impossible… impossible… This continent has close to a thousand nations and is home to countless races. It’s such a gigantic world, so how could it be as small as you proclaim it to be?!”
An Lin heaved a light, forlorn sigh. “You call this a world? This is a cage completely sealed off by glacial lands in which you can travel from one side to another in a single day.
“From the information I’ve gathered, I can tell you that this world can indeed be referred to as a Tai Chu Continent, but it’s a constantly crumbling Tai Chu Continent… and this world, which you all live in, is only a small fragment of the constantly-crumbling Tai Chu Continent…
“You’ve never walked out of this tiny world, so how would you know just how vast the world is?”
Tina stared at An Lin with a vacant expression, as if she had been stunned by his words.
She began to shake her head again after a long pause. “No… It’s not real, you’re lying to me…”
An Lin rolled his eyes. “What do I have to gain from lying to you?”
“The four Holy Spirit Towers! The whole reason you’re telling me all this is so that you can convince me that these Holy Spirit Towers aren’t treasures left behind by Pangu, right?!” Tina retorted stubbornly.
Holy f*ck, she’s right!
Her logic is watertight!
“Hehe, you call these Holy Spirit Towers? These are actually called Realm Essence Crystals and there are countless Realm Essence Crystals like this on a crumbling continent! I came to this world to collect Realm Essence Crystals, and they’re nowhere near as valuable as you think they are. Besides, Pangu wouldn’t be so bored as to toss Realm Essence Crystals all over this world for fun!” An Lin continued.
“How could that be…” Tina’s body swayed unsteadily.
“Why is it that I’m so powerful, yet you’ve only just heard of me today as if I had appeared from thin air? That’s because I came from the true Tai Chu Continent!” An Lin dealt a further blow to Tina.
“You could have been hiding away in the mountains and only just reemerged into the world,” Tina retorted stubbornly as her world view still hadn’t been completely shattered.
An Lin sighed lightly. “Looks like I’ll have to show you some evidence…”
“Come on out, my treasures!”
He yelled lightly as silver light flashed from his storage ring!
“Come on out, my spirit pills and spirit fruits!”
Hundreds of spirit pills and spirit fruits instantly appeared before Tina.
Tina’s mouth gaped open in shock. “Such powerful energy fluctuations… they’re… they’re all divine rank treasures! Hundreds of divine pills and divine fruits…”
Divine pills and divine fruits were extremely rare in this world. The divine pills and divine fruits An Lin released was many times more than she had seen in her entire life!
“Come on out, my spirit tools!”
Thirty-six spirit tools instantly appeared in mid-air, all of them radiating energy fluctuations.
Tina drew a sharp intake of breath. “These weapons… their energy fluctuations are even more powerful than divine tools! They’re all holy tools?!”
She looked down at her own golden longsword with undisguised shock on her face.
Her golden longsword was a first-rate holy tool that had been passed down for many generations. But right now, there were many weapons before her that radiated energy fluctuations that rivaled her golden longsword…
An Lin was quite pleased with Tina’s reaction, but there was more to come.
“Come on out, my immortal fruits, immortal pills, and immortal tools!”
From An Lin’s storage ring came one seventh-grade immortal pill Spirit Regeneration Pill, another seventh-grade immortal pill Yin Yang Energy Pill, three eighth-grade immortal fruits Golden Immortal Fruits, one third-grade immortal fruit Netherblood Fruit, one first-grade Serene Attaining Grass, Fire Blood Divine Tree, Deathly Realm Flower, Ethereal Spirit Bone, Demonic Blood Globe, Sacred Ice Lotus, and Ghostly Crystal Armor. On top of that, there was the elementary-rank immortal tool Heart Lotus Ice Sword, high-rank immortal tool Heavenly Frost Shard, high-rank immortal tool Realm-Piercing Nail, and high-rank immortal tool Divine Flame Bead.
…
A series of extraordinary treasures appeared while heaven and earth trembled as a vast array of phenomena manifested themselves…
The Holy Fairy Maiden’s mouth gaped open even wider as she stared incredulously at the treasures laid out before her.
From the energy fluctuations exuded by these items, all of them were beyond her realm of comprehension as they were all above holy rank… She had never even seen a single item of such an unfathomable rank in her life.
But there was a bunch of them laid out before her at this very instant!
“How could this be…”
Tina shook her head and long golden hair fanned out like waves around her, just like the waves surging through her heart.
“What are these… and how do you have so many of them…”
An Lin replied with a slight smile, “These are all the treasures I’ve collected on the real Tai Chu Continent. There are many items that are more powerful and more valuable on the real Tai Chu Continent than what you see here. These are the worst items in my collection… ”
Tina’s body trembled when she heard this. She opened her mouth, but tears began to flow down her face before she even had a chance to speak.
Finally, her world view had been completely crushed and pulverized by all the extraordinary treasures laid out before her!
“Waah…” Tina began to weep as she said, “so… so I’ve been a frog at the bottom of the well this entire time…”[1]
[1] Frog at the bottom of the well is a Chinese analogy where a frog can only see a tiny section of sky through the opening of the well and is lured into the false impression that that tiny portion of the sky is the entire sky.
