Chapter 1897: The tenth sun of Immortal Astral, Deceiving the Heavens! (Third Update)

“The Donglin Sect has always been known for its mystery among the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates. I wonder if there are any Celestial Venerable Cultivators within it!” The information about the Donglin Sect in Wang Lin’s tortoise shell and the Jade Slip map he obtained was very scarce.

This was related to the fact that very few of its Disciples went out for exchanges.

“Since this Sect can be listed among the Nine Sects and Thirteen Gates, it must not be ordinary. However, even if there are Celestial Venerable Cultivators, it doesn't matter.” Wang Lin pondered for a moment. After his Divine Sense spread out, he was about to head to the location of the Donglin Sect according to the map, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he suddenly froze.

As his Divine Sense spread out, he faintly felt a familiar fluctuation from a Mortal city tens of thousands of miles away. This fluctuation was the Seal he had placed on all Reincarnated individuals in the Immortal Cave Realm back then. It was undetectable from a distance, but if the distance was not far, his Divine Sense could sense it.

“Whose fluctuation could this be…” Wang Lin smiled, with a hint of anticipation. He couldn't know which old friend this fluctuation belonged to, just as he had sensed Zhou Yi and Qing Shuang outside the Earth Gate back then.

He could only sense it, but if he didn't see it with his own eyes, it would be difficult to know the other party's identity.

After all, the Seal back then was uniformly arranged, without much distinction.

A happy smile appeared on his face. To meet an old friend on this unfamiliar land, no matter who it was, would make Wang Lin's heart uncharacteristically joyous.

His body swayed, changing his mind about going to the Donglin Sect, and instead heading straight for the Mortal city tens of thousands of miles away.

With his cultivation, a distance of ten thousand miles could be covered in an instant. Looking at the city on the ground ahead, as he got closer, the fluctuation became stronger. When Wang Lin arrived above the city and looked down at the crowd in the city gate, he saw an old man with white hair, an Immortal-like demeanor, and a hidden look of triumph. Wang Lin's expression immediately became strange.

This old man was exactly where the Seal fluctuation came from!

He didn't even need this fluctuation; as soon as Wang Lin saw the familiar face of this white-haired old man in the crowd, he could recognize him at a glance!

“Liu Jinbiao!” Wang Lin's expression became even stranger, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Liu Jinbiao comprehended the Dao of Deception back then, but I didn't expect that after Reincarnation, he would still walk this… path…” With Wang Lin's knowledge and understanding of Liu Jinbiao, he guessed Liu Jinbiao's purpose, surrounded by nearly a hundred Mortals below, with just one glance.

Looking at Liu Jinbiao's deeply hidden triumph and the respectful Mortals around him, Wang Lin couldn't help but smile even more, though some of that smile was a wry smile of a headache.

“Deceiving Mortals… This Liu Jinbiao was capable of deceiving Cultivators in the Immortal Cave Realm. Why is he deceiving Mortals here? He has cultivation fluctuations on him; over the years, he has actually Cultivated to the Golden Core Realm. With such cultivation, to deceive Mortals, I wonder what he's thinking.” Wang Lin watched, frowned, and pondered for a moment. He didn't immediately go down to awaken Liu Jinbiao's memories, but stood in the sky, watching how he would deceive.

If he didn't want people to notice him, very few could see his figure in the sky.

Liu Jinbiao, who had entered the city, was walking when his mind suddenly trembled, and he froze for a moment. He vaguely felt a sense of unease. This feeling came extremely suddenly, and he had never experienced it before, as if it came from his Soul. He cautiously looked around and then at the sky. Liu Jinbiao blinked, quite surprised.

“Strange, why do I suddenly have this feeling… This feeling is like a child making a mistake and seeing their own parent… Strange.” Liu Jinbiao frowned, suppressing the doubt in his heart. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for an instant.

After entering this city, three days passed in a flash. During these three days, many reputable people from this place brought their children to Liu Jinbiao. After he scanned them one by one with his benevolent gaze, he left on the fourth day, taking five children with him.

Among them were three boys and two girls, the oldest being thirteen and the youngest eight.

Amidst the respectful and excited farewells of the crowd, Liu Jinbiao, carrying these five children, sat in the sedan chair. Others held the children, and they ascended into the sky.

For these three days, Wang Lin watched Liu Jinbiao's actions, his brows tightly furrowed.

“What exactly is this Liu Jinbiao trying to do? He didn't swindle any money, just took these five children who could slightly Cultivate Immortals… Although these five children have some Aptitude, they cannot be favored by any Immortal Sect! If he has any ill intentions, I will definitely not spare him!” Wang Lin's expression was calm, and he followed Liu Jinbiao in the sky, unhurriedly.

In the sky, Liu Jinbiao sat in the sedan chair, his expression filled with joy. He occasionally glanced at the five children around him, a hint of imperceptible excitement in his eyes.

“I didn't expect there to be five suitable individuals in this town. Haha, this time is good, I can definitely make a fortune!”

When his gaze swept over the five children, they immediately became nervous, but at the same time, they also had anticipation. They yearned to enter an Immortal Sect and become Immortals. This was not only their wish but also the dream of their parents and relatives.

Several days later, outside a mountain range in Great Saint Continent, Liu Jinbiao's sedan chair stopped. He stood up, his expression stern, and glanced at his attendants.

“You all wait here until this Immortal returns.”

The four burly men carrying the sedan chair, and the treasure-holding boys around them, all quickly assented. The four burly men were Foundation Establishment Cultivators, while most of the boys were at the Qi Condensation Stage. Most of them had Cultivated on their own after Liu Jinbiao taught them the method of Immortal cultivation.

Liu Jinbiao's body swayed, and he took the five children, transforming into a black wind that rushed towards the mountain range ahead, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Wang Lin was in mid-air, watching Liu Jinbiao's actions, his expression slightly gloomy, and he stepped forward to follow.

Liu Jinbiao, in his black wind form, galloped through the mountains for a moment before materializing in a secluded valley. The valley was not large, and there were some Immortal Caves carved out within it. In one of the Immortal Caves, Liu Jinbiao sat cross-legged, with the five children sitting opposite him.

His eyes flashed, and Liu Jinbiao's expression became serious as he looked at the five children in front of him.

The five children immediately became extremely nervous under his gaze, their faces pale, but they gritted their teeth and held back their tears.

“Good, actually, in front of your relatives earlier, I didn't tell the truth. Your Aptitude is actually very ordinary, only barely enough to Cultivate Immortals. The reason I chose you is because your willpower is firm!

For an Immortal Cultivator, ordinary Aptitude is not to be feared; having a firm heart is extremely important!”

The five children looked at Liu Jinbiao nervously, remaining silent.

Also silent was Wang Lin, who no one could see, standing nearby. He looked at Liu Jinbiao, waiting for him to continue.

“Liu Jinbiao, if you deceive Cultivators, I can ignore it, but if you deceive these children… that would disappoint me too much!” Wang Lin murmured inwardly.

“I am a swindler!” Liu Jinbiao suddenly said.

As soon as he spoke, the five children were completely stunned, and even Wang Lin was startled.

“I am a swindler who tricked your relatives and brought you here!” Liu Jinbiao's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the five children in front of him and slowly spoke.

His words were astonishing, leaving the five children momentarily unable to react, staring blankly at Liu Jinbiao.

“However…” Liu Jinbiao smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over them, and he continued leisurely.

“However, I can let you join the Immortal Sect of the Great Saint Sect, but this matter requires you to decide for yourselves. Firstly, your Aptitude cannot pass the Sect's test and cannot be recognized and accepted as Disciples by those Sects. Although you have some Aptitude, such Aptitude makes it difficult to have great development.

Based on my understanding of the various Sects of the Great Saint Sect, they will not accept you, nor will they waste time on you. On this point, I have not lied to you.”

Liu Jinbiao paused at this point.

Wang Lin witnessed this scene from the side, deep in thought. He knew that what Liu Jinbiao said was correct; the Aptitude of these children would indeed be difficult to be favored by Immortal Sects.

“But, I have a method that can make your Aptitude, like deceiving the heavens, fool the Cultivators who assess you for entering the Sect, and can even make your Aptitude appear extremely excellent!

However, this is ultimately fake. If you perform poorly after entering the Sect and are re-examined, you will be discovered. At that time, you will not be in Mortal danger and most likely will not be expelled from the Sect, but you will only become a low-ranking member.

That's why I said earlier that Aptitude is not important; what is important is to have firm willpower!”

Liu Jinbiao slowly spoke, looking at the five children in front of him.

“As for me, I will use you as a basis. After sending you into the Sect, because of your good Aptitude, I will exchange for some needed items. The better your Aptitude, the better the initial treatment you receive, and the better the quality of the items I exchange for. However, such Aptitude also increases the possibility of exposure.

I will help you deceive the heavens to enter the Immortal Sect. After entering, all Opportunities and good fortune will depend on yourselves, and it is only right for me to earn something from it.

However, you must consider it carefully. If you disagree, I will erase this memory and send you back to your relatives. If any of you agree, choose what kind of Aptitude you want to enter the Sect with: excellent, superior, or ordinary—these three options are available!

I suggest you choose ordinary, which is enough to enter the mountain gate! After all, I plan to do business long-term and don't want to be exposed too many times and be targeted for pursuit.”

As Liu Jinbiao spoke, he raised his right hand and patted his waist, taking out some peanuts from his Storage Pouch, peeling them, and eating them.

Wang Lin watched this scene, a wry smile on his face, secretly thinking that Liu Jinbiao was a swindler in his previous life, and his deception skills seemed to have become more sophisticated in this life.

Among the five children, three chose to go home out of fear, but there was one boy and one girl who showed firm determination. The girl chose ordinary entrance Aptitude, while the boy firmly chose superior.

Regarding the boy's choice, Liu Jinbiao gave him a deep look. This child had the best Aptitude among the five and a very firm willpower. His family was not wealthy, but ordinary commoners, and he was only discovered by chance.

Liu Jinbiao nodded. After erasing the memories of the three children, he flicked his sleeve, sent them out of the Immortal Cave to his attendants outside the mountain range, and also sent a message to his attendants to send these three children back to the town and inform their relatives that they had failed to enter the Sect.
