I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan were finally reunited with Wang Xuanzhan.

Wang Xuanzhan was surveying the iron holy grail in his hand with a hesitant expression.

“Senior Wang, you’re so badass!” Liu Qianhuan praised with a grin.

Wang Xuanzhan smiled lightly in response. “I received a point after obtaining the holy grail, so theoretically, the holy grail should have no value to us now. But I’ve got a feeling that the holy grail is hiding some secrets.”

“Secrets?” Liu Qianhuan stroked the holy grail with her slender fingertips and a flash of white patterns appeared on the surface of the holy grail.

“M-hm… the veined patterns on the grail are very interesting. The lines are all very smooth and intricate, but they all stopped at critical points, giving the onlooker a sense of incompleteness.” She became more intrigued as she surveyed the grail.

Wang Xuanzhan could not glean anything else from the holy grail.

An Lin used his Divine Inspection Technique on the holy grail, only to receive an evaluation of “iron holy grail, not good to eat”. The evaluation made him skeptical once again of whether the Divine Inspection Technique he received was, in fact, a fake product.

Both of them had no further ideas, so the holy grail was given to Liu Qianhuan for further inspection.

The three of them continued on toward the white pagoda.

They soon saw a small river flowing peacefully.

Liu Qianhuan immediately tossed the iron holy grail into the river.

“Plop!”

The resulting splash was quite spectacular.

An Lin: “???”

Wang Xuanzhan: “???”

Both of them stared at Liu Qianhuan, completely dumbfounded, but Liu Qianhuan was staring at the river intently in anticipation.

“Huh… that’s not right, shouldn’t there be a River God that jumps out of the water to ask me, ‘Hey, young sorceress, did you drop a golden holy grail or a silver holy grail?’?”

Liu Qianhuan stroked her smooth chin while she sported a confused expression.

An Lin came to the realization of what she was talking about and stared at Liu Qianhuan in shock, wondering just how someone could be so retarded.

Wang Xuanzhan massaged his brows and sighed in exhaustion. He no longer wanted to speak.

A minute passed and the river remained peaceful with no hint of anything out of the ordinary occurring.

There were no River Gods.

There were no gold or silver axes.

So of course, there weren’t any gold or silver holy grails.

Disappointed, Liu Qianhuan dug the iron holy grail out of the water and continued to inspect it with a gloomy expression.

The three of them continued on toward the white pagoda while they remained vigilant to their surroundings the whole time.

However, aside from a few cute animals, they discovered no abnormalities along the way.

Soon, they arrived at the foot of the white pagoda.

“Pearl Pagoda? Why does this name seem so out of place.”

An Lin stared at the plaque above the gate of the pagoda with furrowed brows.

A pagoda that appeared here should be named something like the Immortal Pagoda, or Demonic Pagoda, or Evil Spirit Pagoda, or something like that. And then, they would have to fight through an army of demons and monsters to finally secure the golden holy grail.

Hmm, yes… that was how it should have been!

After opening the Pearl Pagoda, they were greeted to the sight of a barrier of rippling water which prevented them from being able to see inside.

Wang Xuanzhan’s eyes rippled with golden light as his line of sight pierced through the barrier of rippling water…

“Hmm, at the very least, it appears there aren’t any noteworthy hazards on the first floor. But we can’t be sure that there aren’t any living beings or booby traps on the higher floors.” Wang Xuanzhan analyzed.

An Lin and Liu Qianhuan nodded. If this wasn’t a trap, then it certainly was worth inspecting.

Thus, the three of them passed through the barrier and entered the Pearl Pagoda.

“Hahaha, they fell for it.” A rock golem laughed with a tractor-like sound from a patch of grass near the Pearl Pagoda.

After entering the Zhong Long mountain ranges, they immediately placed this high-rank Spirit tool, Pearl Pagoda, in the most eye-catching location, with the sole objective of waiting for the other representatives to fall into their trap.

The Pearl Pagoda had no traps or hazards within, so it was easy for people to lower their guards and enter into its interior.

But once you were in, it was hard to get out. Without the wielder’s permission, this pagoda was a one-way-passage enclosure which was constructed from materials even more solid than most high-rank spirit tools.

“Should we bring them in?” Dong Yan asked in a cold voice.

Huang Shan shook his head. “Let’s wait a while longer. If the representatives from the Garden of Eden also fall into the trap, then our victory is assured.”

They did not even count the Buddhist Kingdom representatives as a threat, so their strongest competitors were the Garden of Eden’s representatives.

They were no match for them in a fight, and they had fallen behind significantly on the scoreboard, so it was certainly no easy task for them to secure victory.

Right at this moment that an announcement sounded in the air. “Buddhist Kingdom, Qing Yan, eliminated.”

The three Hall of Creation representatives all faltered at the announcement before Hong Dou began to chortle again. “They’ve already had a representative eliminated! It looks like the Buddhist Kingdom is going to come last for sure!”

Another announcement sounded in the air. “Congratulations, the Buddhist Kingdom has received two points!”

Hong Dou: “…”

A flash of coldness appeared in Huang Shan’s eyes. “F*ck you, Hong Dou! If you laugh again, I’ll beat you to death! Do you hear me?!”

Hong Dou recoiled as the flames in his chest also dimmed. He nodded in panic but did not dare to say anything.

Dong Yan sighed. “We’re now last on points. Should we continue to wait here for the other representatives to fall into the trap?”

Their plan was pretty much to wait on the spot for their opponents to fall into their trap. It would result in fantastic returns if they were to succeed, but at the same time, they lost the ability to be mobile and actively fight for the holy grails.

The points that the Buddhist Kingdom obtained were like a siren to them, alerting them of their situation.

If things continued like this, all the holy grails would be gone before everyone fell into their trap, so it would completely defeat the purpose.

Vital energy rippled around Huang Shan’s hands as he maintained the restrictive power of the Pearl Pagoda and a conflicted expression appeared on his face.

After a long while, he made a decision. “Let’s wait for two more hours!”

Elsewhere in the Zhong Long mountain ranges, there was a place shrouded in cloud and mist where there was a danger at seemingly every turn.

Qing Xin gripped Qing Zhi’s arm to support him as they continued onwards. Both of them were bloodied and battered, and their auras had diminished significantly.

Qing Zhi turned to look behind him with a pained expression. “Qing Yan…”

The three of them were chased into this area rife with perils by the bone dragon.

But it was at this time, they saw a silver holy grail.

However, in the process of fighting for the holy grail, Qing Zhi was forced to use a mystic technique, and Qing Yan also perished in the process…

“Sigh, what do we do now? There’s only the two of us left.” Qing Zhi was cursing himself for his weakness.

In the process of securing the silver holy grail, one of them perished and the other two were heavily injured. And this was in a situation where none of the other representatives intervened.

If other representatives did intervene, they probably wouldn’t get the chance to even touch the holy grail…

On the Blue Sky Plaza, tens-of-thousands of omniscient students stared at An Lin and the other anxiously.

They had seen Huang Shan release the Pearl Pagoda as well as how the Heavenly Court’s representatives had been trapped within. It would an absolute travesty if they were trapped in there with no way to escape until the trial ended!

“Do you think God An and the others would be able to escape?”

“Definitely! I don’t believe that they would be trapped by a mere pagoda.”

“Why haven’t the three representatives from the Hall of Creation left yet? Are they waiting for more people to fall into their trap?”

“Hmph, how shameless! Instead of fighting for holy grails as they should, they’re using all these underhanded tactics.” Some students protested angrily.

However, the entourage from the Hall of Creation was full of pride. Not only were they not ashamed, but they were also extremely proud.

In their eyes, the end result was everything.

So what if the Heavenly Court’s representatives are supposed to be badass, they’ve still fallen into our trap. The end will always justify the means!

“Look, God An is about to make his move!” Some students began to exclaim.
