I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

After stepping through the blue film of light, An Lin, Liu Chuchu, Tina, and Ling Ying arrived at a realm that had a soft yellow sky. Then, they were all stunned by the sight that lay before their eyes.

An Lin’s eyes widened, and he sucked in a sharp breath. “F*ck me!”

Liu Chuchu’s small mouth was slightly agape as she stammered, “Good heavens…”

Ling Ying was so astonished that all her white tentacles froze in mid-air. Her blue eyes bulged out of her head.

Tina held her hands over her mouth. “So many Holy Spirit Towers!” she exclaimed dazedly. “As expected… The legends that claim that Pangu left behind the Holy Spirit Towers are all lies…”

An Lin rolled his eyes. “These are called Realm Essence Crystals. Please stop referring to them as Holy Spirit Towers! It sounds so awkward.”

He was right! What lay before them was a field of Realm Essence Crystals!

On a stretch of white land, which sat hundreds of meters away from them, numerous Realm Essence Crystals sprouted from the ground like plants. They were fan-shaped and grew around a black pillar that was thousands of feet tall.

At a glance, there were at least three hundred white Realm Essence Crystals, dozens of green Realm Essence Crystals, and over twenty blue Realm Essence Crystals. There were nine red Realm Essence Crystals, and these were as dazzling as flowers in full bloom. Moreover, there were even three golden Realm Essence Crystals. These golden Realm Essence Crystals sat on the edge of the black pillar and radiated with alluring golden glows.

An Lin’s eyes locked onto the golden Realm Essence Crystals. He had to obtain them!

“Huh? Guys, look over there! Hong Dou’s condition seems to be a bit strange,” Ling Ying said suddenly.

They all looked forward upon hearing this. Hong Dou had been in front of them this entire time, but since their eyes were all drawn to the field of Realm Essence Crystals, they naturally ignored his presence.

Now that they focused on him, they realized that Hong Dou was only a couple of meters in front of them. He had his back to them, and he was in a sprinting motion. It was as if he was sprinting toward the Realm Essence Crystals in excitement. However, Hong Dou’s ‘sprinting’ appeared very slow in their eyes. It looked as though his motion had been slowed down by a factor of thousands…

An Lin grimaced. “Hong Dou, what on earth are you playing at?!” he yelled.

His strong and sturdy body shuddered. After that, he turned his head around with great difficulty and said, “There’s… something… wrong… with… this… mystic… realm…”

Hong Dou was spewing absolute nonsense, and he wasted a minute of their time.

An Lin, Liu Chuchu, and the others all glanced around at the surroundings. Eventually, their gazes all settled on a faint golden line, which was located a meter in front of them. This golden line appeared like a boundary between two completely different realms of space.

An Lin extended his hand over the golden line, and he instantly felt sluggish. This feeling was especially peculiar. His mind hadn’t slowed down, yet everything else about him became sluggish.

It wasn’t the kind of sluggishness induced by crushing pressure, nor was it a natural instinct of the body. It felt as though being this slow was something instilled within him since birth…

“Such a peculiar feeling! This is most likely the power of some natural law. We can’t change this with our abilities,” Liu Chuchu said in astonishment after sensing the realm beyond the golden line.

“Although this mystic realm is strange, it doesn’t seem to pose any danger to us,” Ling Ying added. “Moreover, there isn’t a threat from indigenous creatures of the Ancient Tai Chu Realm.”

Just like that, they all glanced at each other once more. Then, they all reached the same decision!

Enter!

The field of Realm Essence Crystals was far too attractive to them. They couldn’t allow Hong Dou to have it all to himself!

Time was of the essence, and they couldn’t fall too far behind.

Without any further hesitation, they all crossed the golden line and charged forward as quickly as they could.

An Lin used his most powerful speed buffs right from the outset—Wings of Wind and Wind Sword. He hoped that his momentum would carry him past Hong Dou, who already had a lead of over ten meters.

However, he was far too naive. Once he crossed the golden line, everything slowed down, so much so that he forgot how to fly…

Plop!

He face-planted into the ground and dragged out a four-meter-long ditch.

Liu Chuchu: “…”

Tina was latched onto An Lin’s hair, and she had also forgotten how to fly. Her wings flapped erratically, and the force generated by them fluctuated unpredictably. It was as though everything had become disorderly and chaotic.

This all felt… extremely vexing!

This was especially so for Ling Ying. As a jellyfish that was accustomed to floating in mid-air, she was now reduced to crawling on the ground using her tentacles. One had to realize, she had never crawled like this before!

Thus, even though she had the most “feet” out of all of them, she fell into the last place once they entered into the mystic realm.

“Little… Na… help… me… get… the… gold… ones…”

An Lin took great efforts to issue this command. At this moment, Tina had already jumped off his shoulder and was dashing toward the golden Realm Essence Crystals.

Although he was a few meters ahead of everyone else, it took him an absurd amount of time to crawl back up. Eventually, he was overtaken by Liu Chuchu.

“Hong… Dou… wait… for… me…”

An Lin shouted with passion as he “ran”.

Hong Dou didn’t turn around. “Heh… heh…” he sneered.

This was a very strange feeling. They all felt as if they had returned to their childhood days, where they were muddleheaded and carefree. Everything felt so natural and relaxed as they sprinted through this realm.

They had cast aside everything. In fact, they had even forgotten how to cast immortal spells and how to circulate vital energy…

“Ha… Ha… I’m… a… happy… little… fairy…” Tina chortled in excitement as she sprinted along.

“I’ve… actually… grown… fond… of… sprinting… like… this…” Liu Chuchu’s eyes squinted into a smile. There was a look of pleasure on her face.

Before they knew it, ten minutes had passed. An Lin was still sprinting with all his might, yet he was unable to reduce the distance between himself and Hong Dou. If this continued, his Realm Essence Crystals were in danger of being snatched away…

Tina was in second place, and she was only ten meters behind Hong Dou. Although the size of her steps was small, the number of steps that she took was far greater than any of them.

In short, she was moving a little faster than Hong Dou. However, it was still unclear whether or not she could overtake Hong Dou before he reached the golden Realm Essence Crystals.

Liu Chuchu was in third place, and she was only five meters behind Tina.

An Lin was in fourth place, and he was six to seven meters behind Liu Chuchu.

Ling Ying was in fifth place, and she was over ten meters behind An Lin…

Anyhow, Ling Ying was already wallowing in despair. She had resigned herself to simply harvesting a few white Realm Essence Crystals.

…

Right at this moment, the film of blue light rippled, and two unfamiliar figures appeared in this realm.

A female who had a pair of horns and a pair of crimson eyes was shocked by what she saw. “Good heavens! Zhong Lixing, am I dreaming? There are so many Realm Essence Crystals!”

“Kong Ge, don’t get too worked up. Don’t let your guard down in this kind of place. See those people in the distance? There’s something strange about this mystic realm.” There was a dangerous glint in Zhong Lixing’s eyes.

His reaction was frighteningly quick, and vital energy swirled as he raised a hand above his head. A black orb that contained terrifying power instantly formed in mid-air. Then, it shot toward An Lin and the others angrily!

After all, taking action was more effective than speaking nonsense!

Zhong Lixing knew that An Lin and the others had become trapped in some strange state. Thus, he grabbed this opportunity without hesitation and struck pre-emptively. This was how a powerful true demon should behave!

However, what happened next had him feeling astounded. As the black orb passed over some boundary, its energy dissipated, and it completely vanished.

“This… Are we still going to enter?” Kong Ge was dazed by this sight.

Zhong Lixing fell deep into thought as he gazed at the dense field of Realm Essence Crystal. After a short moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “We’ll enter! Why not? This is most likely a Sluggish Mystic Realm, which prevents the use of spell techniques. However, we actually have another advantage. That is, we now know of the effects of this mystic realm. We can accelerate outside and take advantage of the momentum that we generate to overtake them!”

Kong Ge’s eyes lit up. “That’s an amazing idea!”

Just like that, the two of them frenziedly built up their speed outside. Then, they flew past the golden line and into the mystic realm!

Everything became peculiar. The two true demons felt that everything around them had slowed down, so much so that they had forgotten how to fly.

Plop!

The two true demons face-planted into the ground and dragged out two four-meter-long ditches.
