I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Never would he have thought that there would be such a serene and peaceful image in this river.

It was magnificent and glorious.

It was absolutely unmissable!

Countless thoughts welled up in An Lin’s heart as he leaped toward that image.

The river detected An Lin’s approach and unleashed the power of time of its own volition to suck him into the image.

An Lin felt a burst of power enshroud him, and he experienced a rush of dizziness as his world returned to chaos!

Chen Chen also jumped into the river to block off that section of the river in order to prevent it from drifting too far away. After that, he began to patiently await An Lin’s return.

“Is An Lin going to be alright?” Shangguan Yi was a little concerned.

“He’ll be fine. All he needs to do is die, and he’ll be able to come back,” Chen Chen said in a calm voice.

“…” Shangguan Yi was completely speechless. Was that supposed to be reassuring?

However, the image An Lin had leaped into was indeed quite serene and peaceful. Perhaps he would die a happy death in there? At least that was what Shangguan Yi was praying for.

Time passed by very quickly in those images, so An Lin should be back soon.

The two of them silently awaited his return.

Within a vast expanse of darkness and chaos.

An Lin’s consciousness slowly returned.

He opened a pair of bleary eyes.

The warm sun shone down upon him, and it was very warm and comfortable.

The clear, blue sky, the drifting white clouds, the pure, refreshing breeze.

My God, is this heaven?!

An Lin was elated. He was ecstatic to be in this new world!

He was then greeted by the sight of blades of grass as tall as grown men and extremely massive bugs.

Eh…

Hold on.

Was there something not right here?

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in An Lin’s heart.

He tried to move, only to find that his body was firmly rooted to the ground.

He looked at his own reflection using the droplets of dew on neighboring blades of grass, and he was stunned into silence upon seeing his own green, juicy body.

I’ve become a blade of grass?!

An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of chlorophyll upon seeing this.

Holy f*ck! No wonder the image was so pure and refreshing; he had to become a blade of grass in this world?!

What was grass?

It was something on the very bottom of the food chain!

Just as An Lin was about to go into mental breakdown, he suddenly came to a realization.

This wasn’t anywhere near as bad as the torture methods depicted in all of the other images. He was now a blade of grass and would live out a boring, mundane life. That didn’t seem too bad at all!

An Lin was elated again with this in mind.

This was fantastic!

Most importantly, even though he was just a blade of grass with no eyes, ears, mouth, or nose, he had all five of his senses, thereby allowing him to appreciate the beauty of nature, feel the refreshing breeze, bask in the warm sunlight, and smell the beautiful aroma of flowers nearby. This was quite an enjoyable life.

Was it not good to be a blade of grass?

Bullsh*t!

This was a very good life!

An Lin was even starting to understand why Xiao Hong was always inactive.

It was very hard not to become lazy and inactive with a body like this!

Right at this moment, a gust of strong wind blew past.

Ahhhh!

An Lin instantly howled in agony, and he felt as if his back was about to snap.

The wild gust of wind had completely blown him over into the shape of a horseshoe.

This gust of wind persisted for an entire hour.

An Lin felt like his back was never going to be straight again, and he was utterly exhausted.

It looked like the life of a blade of grass was not that easy after all.

An Lin sighed emotionally.

At that moment, dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

It looked like it was going to rain now…

Before An Lin had a chance to catch his breath, droplets of rain began to fall from the sky.

This was good. He needed some moisture replenishment after being abused by the strong wind for so long, so this was quite a timely storm.

Thus, the rain began to fall more quickly.

An Lin absorbed the rainwater elatedly, and he was initially feeling quite good, but he soon figured out that things weren’t as good as he envisioned.

Even after he had had his fill of water, the rain still continued to fall and force itself upon him.

“Ah…!

“Glug, glug…

“Help me… Glug glug…”

An Lin twisted his body with all his might. He didn’t want to drink so much water!

However, the rain was unavoidable to him as he was literally rooted to the ground.

Rainwater continued to gush into An Lin’s body in a frenzy, making him feel as if he was constantly on the verge of drowning.

The crushing sense of asphyxiation made him want to die.

At the same time, massive amounts of water had flooded into his body, making him feel extremely bloated and painful.

“Is this what dying feels like? Am I finally going to die?”

Even though it was quite painful, An Lin didn’t think dying like this was all that bad.

Two hours later.

The rain stopped.

An Lin’s head was pressed to the ground, and he was half-dead, but he managed to survive.

Why the f*ck am I still alive?!

An Lin was not very happy to have survived.

He felt like this would be a good ending for him to just leave this world like this!

However, seeing as he was still alive, he would just have to continue to try and enjoy this life.

The warm light of the sun shone down upon the earth.

An Lin was feeling quite elated to see the sun after almost being drowned by the rain.

However…

He quickly discovered that something was wrong.

Holy f*ck! Why was it so hot?!

He suddenly realized that it seemed to be summer at the moment?

The scorching sun baked the earth, making the rainwater evaporate and even twisting and warping the resulting water vapor with its high temperature. An Lin felt as if he were suddenly in an extremely humid and scorching sauna…

The next day.

The situation had become even worse.

After prolonged exposure to the sun, An Lin’s water content had been completely depleted, and he felt as if he were being burned alive.

“So hot…

“So thirsty…

“I’m going to die, I’m really going to die…”

An Lin’s entire body had been completely depleted of moisture, and he felt like a dried and shriveled corpse on a scorching desert.

He was wrong. This punishment of becoming a blade of grass was no jackpot! The most important factor was that the life force of this blade of grass was extremely resilient. It simply refused to die no matter what was thrown at it, and it continued to live on, only to receive more punishment and torture…

Thus, An Lin’s back was snapped by vicious winds, he was almost drowned by a torrential downpour, and now, he was being roasted by the sun…

Throughout all of this, he couldn’t resist or move and could only silently endure the torture day after day…

An Lin was struck by a moment of enlightenment.

There were no good images in the river at all. They were all heinous torture methods no matter how appealing they looked!

Just when An Lin thought things couldn’t get any worse.

They got worse…
