I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 2132: A Most Difficult Question from the Enlightened Being

In reality, An Lin didn’t dare to stay with Yang Lingqian for too long.

There were too many beautiful women casting covetous gazes at him, and thus, he definitely had to avoid them as much as possible.

Right now, Xiaolan was still chattering with Gabriel. Sister Gabriel was a loudmouth, so if she saw him with Yang Lingqian, it was entirely possible that she would make up stories and twist the facts of his pure friendship with Yang Lingqian.

Upon thinking of this, An Lin decided that it was best for him to maintain his distance!

In any case, he had already done everything that he should have.

With a glass of wine and a few words, he had rescued the cultivation path of a Return to Void Stage supreme being.

Indeed, the lives of powerful beings were extremely simple and uninteresting.

Anyhow, An Lin had finally managed to advance to become a member of the top echelon of the Tai Chu Continent. Through his observations of the matters of heaven and earth, he could faintly detect the several bursts of powerful auras in the other locations.

There were auras just as profound and ethereal as his in the east, north-east, south, west, and north. It was as if they were transcendent above the world, so powerful that they could peer down at all other beings.

There were very few of these auras; they only numbered in the digits. Moreover, each of them represented the leader and paramount of a territory or tribe. An Lin hadn’t been able to detect their auras before, but he was able to now.

Indeed, those were all divine beings at the God of Creation Stage.

Perhaps An Lin was the only person who could detect the presence of God of Creation Stage divine beings immediately after advancing to the Dao Integration Stage. Oh, no. He had asked Xu Xiaolan, and she had also been able to detect their presence, albeit not as clearly.

God of Creation Stage divine beings were all ethereal and incredibly difficult to find. They only existed in the world as legends, and ordinary people would never be able to lay eyes on them. However, after reaching the stage that An Lin had, each of them was as dazzling and radiant as a sun!

In fact, ordinary beings were only unable to detect them because they didn’t have the power or right to do so. After reaching an equivalent stage, it would actually be extremely easy to detect the presence of these powerful beings. God of Creation Stage beings were far too powerful, and they were already transcendent above the ordinary definition of life. Each God of Creation Stage being represented one or more worlds. Could one ignore the presence of a world? The answer to this question was clearly a resounding “no” unless one didn’t have the right to see these worlds.

Right now, An Lin could see several of these divine beings, each of whom deserved his utmost respect and admiration.

None of them were purposefully suppressing or hiding their auras. Perhaps they didn’t have the ability to do so, or perhaps there was no need for them to do so. In any case, no one in this world was capable of threatening their existence…

“Nuwa is at the Spirit Lake Realm in the south, and the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue is also in the south. In the north-east is Patriarch Zhu Yin, and in the east is Cyril and Chen Chen. Heh, there’s actually a divine being in the north? They’re at the North Cang Mountain Realm… But why aren’t they moving?” An Lin murmured to himself.

“Ah…! They’ve become aware of my detection…”

An Lin’s expression changed slightly, and he almost retracted his senses in fright.

However, at this moment, that divine being actively spoke to him in greeting.

“Little Friend An Lin, are you looking at me?

“I’m the Enlightened Being of the Stone Tribe of the North Cang Mountain Realm…”

Through some mysterious fluctuations of the world, a calm and slow voice traveled into An Lin’s ears.

An Lin was astonished. When it came to the Stone Tribe, he was only aware of the existence of one Dao Integration Stage powerful being—Emperor Bo Lun. He was genuinely surprised that the Stone Tribe also had a God of Creation Stage divine being!

“Hello, Enlightened Being,” An Lin respectfully greeted the divine being. He then said apologetically, “Sorry for disturbing your tranquil cultivation.”

“Heh, no worries,” the Enlightened Being said with a carefree chuckle. “I’ve been mulling over a question. In fact, I’ve already been mulling over this question for several thousand years. Thus, I don’t mind a small disruption.”

Mulled over a question for several thousand years?

An Lin’s heart shuddered, and he asked in a respectful voice, “Is it possible for senior to reveal the question that you’ve been mulling over?”

He knew that the members of the Stone Tribe were all philosophers. Thus, the questions that they pondered over would all be incredibly deep and profound. In fact, some of these questions even pertained to the essence of dao itself. As a question that had puzzled this God of Creation Stage divine being for several thousand years, this question was definitely an extremely terrifying question!

“There’s no harm in telling you. However, I feel that you’ll also be stumped by this question.” The Enlightened Being’s voice was drawn out as it traveled into An Lin’s ears, causing him to become even more solemn and alert.

“Please go ahead, senior.”

“Mmm. Why do I like to eat savory tofu brains, but not sweet tofu brains[1]?”

“Hah? Could you… please repeat that again?”

“Why do I like to eat savory tofu brains, but not sweet tofu brains?”

The Enlightened Being repeated his question again.

An Lin sucked in a sharp breath, asking, “Is this a precursor to your main question?”

“No, this is the question that I’ve been mulling over,” the Enlightened Being replied.

An Lin: “???”

Hang on, I didn’t hear wrong, did I?

A question that a God of Creation Stage divine being has mulled over for several thousand years… is actually why he likes to eat savory tofu brains but not sweet tofu brains?!

Is he f*cking retarded?!

An Lin was completely dumbfounded, and it was as if he had been struck by lightning.

In the beginning, he had thought that he had come across a wise senior. Now, however, he was starting to question whether he was conversing with a crazy fool…

“How is it? Do you also find this question incredibly difficult?” Seeing that An Lin had fallen silent, the Enlightened Being felt as if he had come across a like-minded friend.

An Lin almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

“I think… each person has their own preferences when it comes to the flavor of tofu brains. Some like sweet tofu brains, while others like savory tofu brains. If they like it, then they like it. That’s all there is to it. I don’t think there’s any other deeper meaning.”

The Enlightened Being was displeased with this answer, and he said, “No, there’s always a root cause that determines one’s preferences. Why do I like savory tofu brains but not sweet tofu brains? I’m clearly someone who likes to eat sweet things. So, this has got nothing to do with taste. Rather, it reflects a deeper and more profound question.

“Is it a choice of life that I like savory tofu brains? Some like to eat sweet tofu brains, while others like to eat savory tofu brains. This proves that each type possesses its own merit and strong point.

“So… Is it the savory flavor that’s attracting me, or is it the tofu that’s attracting me? Why can the marriage of these two elicit such peculiar feelings from me? Why do I enjoy this food? What’s the root cause behind me enjoying this food? Is it the taste? Is it the texture? Is it the attitude? Is it the emotion? Is it dao intent? Or is it…”

The Enlightened Being continued to analyze this profound question.

An Lin could feel his head swelling.

Holy f*ck! Has this senior gone mad?!

No, he’s definitely off his rockers!

“Oh, that’s right. Little Friend An Lin, do you prefer sweet tofu brains, or do you prefer savory tofu brains?”

“I prefer sweet tofu brains.”

“Why? Why do you prefer sweet tofu brains?”

“Because… I just prefer them? What’s so good about savory tofu brains? I feel no rush of excitement when I eat them!”

“That’s because of your ignorance and bias! When I eat savory tofu brains, I always feel a rush of excitement! I genuinely don’t understand what’s so good about sweet tofu brains. Its taste is as weird as can be!”

“The taste of sweet tofu brains is weird? It’s clearly savory tofu brains that taste weird!”

“No, sweet tofu brains taste weird!”

“Savory tofu brains taste weird!”

“Sweet tofu brains taste weird!”

“Savory tofu brains taste weird!”

“Sweet tofu brains taste weird!”

…

An Lin was shouting loudly.

Coincidentally, Xu Xiaolan walked over at this moment. She wore a confused expression as she looked at the beet-red An Lin, and she asked, “What are you arguing about? Why are you so worked up?”

“I’m arguing about whether sweet tofu brains taste better or whether savory tofu brains taste better!”

Xu Xiaolan faltered for a moment before saying, “How silly…”

“Then tell me, Xiaolan, do you like sweet tofu brains or savory tofu brains?”

“I like both!”

Boom!

An Lin was shocked upon hearing this.

Far in the distance, the Enlightened Being was also completely astounded.

An Lin: “Heresy!”

Enlightened Being: “Preposterous!”

Xu Xiaolan: “???”
