I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

After thoroughly cursing the system in his heart, An Lin had no choice but to open the system interface with tears in his eyes.

[Detected that host is currently in contact with the essential heavenly time power. Now assigning the following special mission:

[The heavenly time power has already been returned to the Heavenly Dao, but there is still a chance to intercept the residual heavenly time power within the river of time.

[Absorb enough heavenly time power, and you will have a chance at attaining a time-type spell technique.

[Mission Success: Attain a Heavenly Dao level time-type spell technique.

[Mission Failure: So what if you fail? I’m not going to do anything to you.]

[Note: The residual heavenly time power can be identified using the Divine Inspection Technique and absorbed using the Divine Plunder Technique. The residual heavenly time power will completely disappear after thirty days.]

An Lin was almost moved to the point of tears upon seeing this special mission.

The words “So what if you fail? I’m not going to do anything to you” was like the warm sunlight of spring, which soothed An Lin’s broken heart.

When did my system become so good to me?!

An Lin was overwhelmed and feeling extremely flattered. Was the system taking pity upon him after witnessing his horrific grass experience? In any case, this was a good thing!

However, he was still a little confused.

Not only had the system suddenly become kind-hearted, but even the tone of its words also seemed to have become more humanized.

What was going on here? Could it be that the system was in a good mood?

“System, System, are you there?” An Lin asked in his mind.

He was greeted by silence.

An Lin heaved a faint sigh of disappointment.

He had thought that the system had come to life.

If the system really had come to life, he could ask some questions that he had been pondering for a long time.

For example, had he somehow wronged the system in his past life?

If not, why was the system so intent on screwing him over?

It would be great if he could somehow manifest the system before beating the living crap out of it!

An Lin was being led astray by his train of thought, and he had even forgotten to absorb the heavenly time power from the river.

The system flashed a few times in his mind, as if it was trying to make him snap out of it, upon which he suddenly came to his senses and activated his Void Body Mantra before wading into the river of time.

After entering the river of time, he could see all of the worlds within the images with greater clarity, as if the two-dimensional images had become actual, three-dimensional worlds.

Not only was that the case, but he could also sense the special properties of all of the worlds within the images.

“No wonder both Chen Chen and the Celestial Thearch are jumping into the river to investigate. There is much more to be seen here.” An Lin was quite surprised.

He immediately activated his Divine Inspection Technique.

An Lin’s eyes turned snowy white, and the world transformed before his eyes. Not only was everything clearer, but he could also sense an extremely special type of energy flowing through the river.

This was a power that was eternal and omnipresent.

The energy followed the direction of the river and flowed along a set trajectory. There was no beginning or end to it in sight. There was no way to stop it or to make it change directions.

An Lin suddenly attained enlightenment upon seeing this. He was most likely experiencing time from a different perspective.

One image after another flowed past beside him, and he knew that there was a world within each of those images. This meant that these were not just simple images, but quite possibly entrances to real worlds, except they were being displayed in a rather special way.

“There’s a golden spot of light up ahead!” An Lin’s eyes lit up.

He could sense that the golden spot of light was gathering a certain type of special power.

Golden-veined patterns appeared on his forehead, constructing a golden eye.

Divine Plunder Technique!

Peculiar, golden ripples proliferated forth.

The golden spot of light seemed to be drawn to him by a certain force, and it shuddered slightly before flowing into his body.

“Gasp… Ah… That feels good…”

An Lin could feel a certain power spread through his entire body, filling him with a sense of refreshment and satisfaction, as if he were suddenly a few years younger.

“Is this the heavenly time power? What a wonderful feeling! It feels as if my entire body is filled with energy just by absorbing that spot of light!” An Lin’s eyes became increasingly brighter. “If that’s the case, then I should absorb a few more spots of light even if I can’t attain any spell techniques from doing so.”

Thus, he began his journey to capture spots of light within the river of time.

In this special space, he was able to use his Divine Plunder Technique extremely frequently. Not only had the rate of cultivation increased by several hundred times, but even the spell technique cooldown had also accelerated several hundred times!

An Lin absorbed several hundred spots of light from the river within a day!

One day later, everyone flew out of the river with exhausted expressions.

Only An Lin came out looking more energetic than when he had gone in.

The Celestial Thearch was shocked to see this. “An Lin, are you alright?”

“What happened to you?” Shangguan Yi was also quite concerned.

“Your condition isn’t quite right.” The Great Empress was also a little worried.

Everyone had entered the same river, so why was An Lin so energetic when everyone else was so exhausted?

It didn’t make sense!

“Haha, don’t worry, everyone. This is all because I discovered that I was able to absorb a certain power from the river while I was in there,” An Lin said with a buoyant smile.

“You can absorb power from the river?” Chen Chen’s calm facade cracked again.

The other three people were also astonished.

However, they weren’t going to ask anything. After all, An Lin certainly had no lack of secrets.

In reality, Chen Chen also had more than his fair share of secrets. However, no one was going to interrogate him. He would tell everyone his secrets if he felt like the time was right.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to search through the river.

An Lin also followed along. He actually didn’t need any rest. All he wanted to know was whether anyone else had discovered anything.

Days passed by one after the other.

Everyone began to gather more and more leads.

The Celestial Thearch: “I’ve discovered that the energy density within the river is increasing.”

The Great Empress: “I’ve discovered that the changes in the images are related to the transition of the four seasons.”

An Lin: “Burp.”

Another day passed by.

Meng Zhi: “I’ve discovered that a certain connection within the river of time has become more powerful. This, in conjunction with the increases in energy density, leads me to believe that we are getting closer to the center of this world.”

Chen Chen: “I’ve discovered a way to force my way into the worlds within the images.”

An Lin: “Burp.”

Another day passed by.

Shangguan Yi: “There is a higher frequency of humans depicted in the images on the river.”

The Great Empress: “Not only that, but the level of civilization also appears to be becoming more and more sophisticated.”

“As expected, there really is a certain pattern within this river of time. We might only have one opportunity, so we have to keep an eye out. If we miss that opportunity, who knows when the river will return to that point.” The Celestial Thearch was also getting a little nervous.

An Lin: “Burp…”

…

Everyone felt the pressure mounting upon them.

Meanwhile, An Lin was engulfing the heavenly time power every day.

On the twenty-eighth day of engulfment, the system sounded again.

“Ding Dong!”

[Detected that the host has accumulated sufficient Heavenly Time Power.

[Now initiating time-type spell technique…]
