At this moment, Liu Jinbiao's previous desolation was gone. He stood there, and although his clothes were still in tatters, there was an indescribable feeling surrounding him.
"This is the Old Man's dao, the second realm of deception. Don't think it's easy. Deceiving yourself once is easy, but deceiving yourself for the rest of your life is difficult. Deceiving yourself at all times will eventually affect your primordial spirit. Even your memories will be affected and changed!
"No matter how powerful a cultivator is, using the Soul Searching Technique on someone who has reached the peak of the second realm is useless. He won't be able to obtain the true memories because they have completely collapsed!
"The people of my generation who have reached the second realm are deceiving themselves!
"At the peak, they are either unable to extricate themselves and become another person, or they are reborn and break through the second realm, allowing them to remain clear-headed at any time. Such a person is extremely rare, but only such a person can reach the third realm, returning to one's true self!
"If the Old Man hadn't relied on the jade pendant to weaken his dao heart, causing him to stop in his path of deception, it wouldn't have been so easy for the Upper Celestial to capture me!
Now that you've taken away my jade pendant and destroyed what I relied on, you've given me a chance to be reborn. You've allowed me to reach the peak of the second realm of deception in the storage space, and I've taken half a step into the third realm! "Liu Jinbiao flicked his sleeves and clasped his hands behind his back. His expression was filled with coldness.
"Interesting …" Wang Lin's eyes flickered and he slowly said with a faint smile, "Interesting …"
After being scolded by Liu Jinbiao, Xu Liguo didn't retort, but was startled for a moment. The way he looked at Liu Jinbiao was different now. He clasped his hands toward Liu Jinbiao and said in a deep voice, "Fellow cultivator Jin Biao's words have enlightened me. Among the three thousand great daos, is there a dao of deception?!
Good, good, good!
I, Xu Liguo, also want to know if the Dao I'm pursuing is among the 3,000 Great Daos! "
Liu Jinbiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. It was as if he had changed into a different person. His previous arrogance and coldness collapsed in an instant. He lowered his body, and there was still a trace of fear on his face. He whispered in a fawning tone, "It's just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning. If Master Xu doesn't bully me in the future, I will be satisfied."
His change was too sudden, causing Xu Liguo to be stunned again. He cursed under his breath, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Wang Lin's eyes revealed a strange light. He carefully looked at Liu Jinbiao and slowly said, "I can give you a chance. If you can do it well, I will give you your freedom and even give you a great fortune!"
Liu Jinbiao shuddered and looked at Wang Lin.
"In the past, you only deceived one person or sect. Now, I want you to deceive an entire clan!
Do you dare? "Wang Lin's voice was calm, but when it landed in Liu Jinbiao's ears, his heart skipped a beat.
Liu Jinbiao hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "This … Actually, it doesn't matter who I deceive. However, to set up a scam, I need to make detailed preparations …"
"It doesn't matter. You have three months to prepare!
The second realm of the Dao of Deception that you mentioned before is to deceive yourself. You need to make yourself completely believe that it's true. Even your memories and mind are like that. So, I will give you a memory! "
The blue flame in Wang Lin's left eye flashed and directly shot out. It turned into a roaring wave of fire that pulled Liu Jinbiao in, forming a huge fireball that expanded outward. Xu Liguo immediately retreated, his eyes filled with shock.
"This fiend's cultivation level has increased again!!"
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, one month had passed. During this month, Xu Liguo originally wanted to leave the cave and enjoy himself. However, the moment he walked out, he was immediately blocked by the restriction and was forced back.
After trying a few times, Xu Liguo began to curse and stare outside in a daze.
On this day, Xu Liguo was in a daze when his expression suddenly changed. He turned around and saw the giant blue fireball that had been burning for a month in the depths of the cave. The flames on the fireball churned, and it gave off a thunderous rumble.
Not long after, the flames let out a violent roar. The sea of flames on the fireball shot into the sky and turned into a giant Rosefinch. The Rosefinch danced in the fire and let out the cry of a Rosefinch!
Shortly after, a figure slowly appeared within the fireball. At first, the figure was blurry, but as the figure slowly walked out, it became clearer and clearer!
Xu Liguo's pupils shrank and he froze. He felt that the person who walked out of the fireball was somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, his eyes bulged.
The figure walked out of the fireball and stood in front of Xu Liguo. His clothes were still in tatters, but when he put them on, they didn't diminish the majesty and aura he exuded.
His appearance was still the same, but the feeling he gave Xu Liguo was like heaven and earth. The Liu Jinbiao in front of him was like a grandmaster, a powerful cultivator!
As he stood there, there was an invisible pressure that caused the hearts of everyone who looked at him to tremble.
Flames swirled around Liu Jinbiao's body, transforming into the shape of a Vermilion Bird. His eyes were cold and calm, and his expression was dignified without being angry. His eyes were like torches, and when they landed on Xu Liguo's body, Xu Liguo gasped.
Liu Jinbiao's cultivation seemed erratic. Sometimes it was extremely powerful, sometimes it was ordinary. However, it was this change that caused him to give off a mysterious feeling.
Although his eyes were cold, there was a trace of vicissitudes in the depths of his eyes.
This kind of ancient feeling was not something an ordinary cultivator could have. Only someone who had lived for tens of thousands of years, seen through life, and lived for a very long time could have this kind of exhaustion!
This exhaustion was the exhaustion of life. It was the natural feeling of time after living for far too long.
Xu Liguo was completely startled. He could no longer tell if this person was the Liu Jinbiao he had bullied in the storage space. Although the two of them looked the same, the feeling they gave off was indescribably different.
"This … You …" Just as Xu Liguo was about to speak, Liu Jinbiao's cold gaze swept past Xu Liguo. This gaze caused Xu Liguo's scalp to go numb and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Old Man, Rosefinch, the sixth generation Rosefinch of the Divine Sect!
I came to the Ancient Star System to find the fourth generation Rosefinch. He was injured by a formation and has yet to recover! "
Liu Jinbiao slowly said. His words gave off a sense of nobility. This kind of feeling could only come from someone who had been in a high position for a long time and controlled the life and death of tens of thousands of people in a sect.
At this moment, he had long forgotten that he was a liar. All of his memories had changed. He believed that he was the master of the Rosefinch Divine Sect. He believed that he was the sixth generation Rosefinch!
Even if a powerful cultivator used a soul search spell on him, they wouldn't be able to find any flaws. All of the memories obtained were real!
Liu Jinbiao coldly raised his foot and walked forward.
At this moment, Wang Lin's voice came from the blue fireball in the cave.
"Xu Liguo, serve the sixth generation Rosefinch and listen to all his orders. If you disobey, I'll erase your existence!"
Xu Liguo's body trembled and he quickly nodded. He followed Liu Jinbiao out of the cave and the restrictions automatically opened, allowing the two of them to go far away.
Aside from Liu Jinbiao, no one knew what Wang Lin had left on him during this month … After the two of them left, the fireball gradually shrank until it was a sea of fire. All of it was absorbed into Wang Lin's left eye. Wang Lin was still sitting there with a calm expression, but there was a flash of wisdom in his eyes.
"The second bait has been released … Fire Sparrow Clan, don't let me down!"
Wang Lin sneered and waved his right hand. A storage space appeared and a statue flew out. This was the statue he had obtained from the Greedy Wolf.
"The Greedy Wolf has sent a lot of treasures. I need to leave a divine sense imprint on each of them to know their power. Only then will I be able to use them to their full potential in the battle later!
This statue is obviously his most powerful treasure, or else he wouldn't have taken it out last! "
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Not everyone could reach the second realm of deception like Liu Jinbiao and change their memories. At the very least, the Greedy Wolf couldn't do it.
Wang Lin had searched through the memories of the Greedy Wolf and knew that most of what he had said was true. He had also learned two points from the Greedy Wolf's memories!
One point was in the Luo Tian Star System, near the Lightning Realm barrier, where the vortex had appeared.
The other point was in the Ancient Star System, where the Greedy Wolf had walked out from the mysterious tomb!
"These two points should be useful to me. I need to explore the one in the Ancient Star System. Perhaps there will be some harvest!
As for the ancient tomb he went to, it is likely the legendary Ancient Order Tomb! "Wang Lin pondered and his gaze swept past the statue.
"Who is this statue … Why would it appear at the place that seems to be the Ancient Order Tomb …" Wang Lin was puzzled by this question. After pondering for a long time, Wang Lin spread out his divine sense toward the statue.
However, just as his divine sense was about to touch the statue, Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly!
"Perhaps she will recognize it!"
Wang Lin's eyes shined brightly and he waved his right hand. A second spatial rift opened before him!
This spatial rift was opened by Wang Lin alone, and he had prepared it for one person!
The silver light was like the moon. It spread out from the crack and filled the entire cave as if it was shrouded in moonlight. An extremely beautiful woman slowly walked out from the crack with bare feet. It was the woman in silver who had regained some of her memories!
Wang Lin asked in a serious tone, "Do you know him?"
The silver-robed woman tucked her black hair behind her ear. Her gaze was calm as she walked out and looked at the statue. However, right at this moment, her pupils shrank and she was stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately let out a shrill scream!
"I caught a cold, so I went to get an IV at noon. I'm a bit better now, but I still don't have any spirit.
"However, the two chapters today were still of good quality and weren't affected by my body. I'm very satisfied with myself.
"Also, there is something very depressing … I went to buy salt today and didn't buy a single bag.
Carrefour, Great Fortune Source, and the other large supermarkets are all out of salt. Even the grocery store downstairs is gone … This is too fast!!
"So I bought a few bottles of fermented bean curd and some pickled vegetables … My family is really out of salt. I'm not going to stock up on salt, but these bastards … I'm very traumatized and need monthly tickets to comfort myself.
