第两千五百三十三章 化身田小剑

Chapter 2533:incarnationTian Xiaojian

Of course, every coin has two sides. While the Heaven Demon Incarnation technique was indeed miraculous, it also had its downsides. Once this method was used, a cultivator's formidable spiritual power would be temporarily rendered useless.

No precious treasures could be summoned or any elemental divine techniques employed; even the slightest use of spiritual energy would instantly nullify the effect.

As the saying goes, "both victory and defeat hinge on the same person." The Heaven Demon Incarnation technique allowed cultivators to hide their immense spiritual power, confusing their enemies. However, it also made them appear almost ordinary humans.

Carelessness could be fatal; any mistake could result in immediate death without a place for tears.

With this technique, Lin Xuan appeared as weak and ordinary as an ordinary human, which was the most criticized aspect of the Heaven Demon Incarnation technique. But to Lin Xuan, these so-called weaknesses were not significant concerns due to his extensive knowledge and dual cultivation path.

His primary source of strength came from the Azure Star Sea, a miraculous treasure that allowed him to easily purify top-grade qilin fruits, which he could consume as ordinary fruit. His physical body had grown incredibly strong, rivaling even the heavenly spirit beasts at the same stage.

Thus, even with the Heaven Demon Incarnation technique, Lin Xuan still retained some combat capability, and could barely defend himself against a Spirit Formation Realm entity.

This was far from what the creator of this technique could achieve. The ancient demon cultivator, despite his extraordinary talent, lacked the luck and opportunities that Lin Xuan had enjoyed.

With no worries, Lin Xuan had no objections to his plan of impersonating an ordinary human to infiltrate the Ethereal Immortal Palace. The only challenge was meeting the ordinary human criteria listed in the bounty notice, which were not easily satisfied.

He needed to be young and handsome, proficient in martial arts, with a strength equivalent to a heavenly way expert among ordinary humans.

Fortunately, none of these posed any difficulties for Lin Xuan.

Martial arts were seen as useless by most cultivators. However, as someone from the Nai Long Realm, where martial arts formed the basis alongside spirit beasts' crystal cores, he could absorb demon energy and even compete with cultivators on equal footing.

Back then, during his Profound Void stage, Lin Xuan was pursued by an old monster of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. To escape, he used a strategy to lead him to Tianfeng City, the sanctuary of demonizers. In the ensuing battle, both sides were severely injured. Lin Xuan emerged victorious, killing the ancient demon and acquiring numerous treasures from Tianfeng City, including many martial arts texts.

One of these was the 'True Explanation of a Hundred Birds,' said to be passed down by advanced demonizers who had crossed the tribulation stage. Although its authenticity was uncertain, it was indeed extremely profound. Lin Xuan's martial prowess certainly qualified him as a heavenly way expert.

This condition was met. The remaining requirement was physical attractiveness. This would be challenging for ordinary cultivators, but not for Lin Xuan.

His appearance was rather ordinary; he could easily blend into a crowd and be forgotten. But that didn't matter. As a Spirit Formation Realm powerhouse, Lin Xuan knew the art of disguise well.

With a simple transformation, he could look handsome and attractive. However, since this was an elemental divine technique, maintaining it required spiritual energy. With the Heaven Demon Incarnation technique consuming all his spiritual power, it seemed impossible to maintain the illusion.

Yet, was that really so?

For ordinary cultivators, yes. But for Lin Xuan, not necessarily.

Without expending any spiritual energy, he could still maintain his transformed appearance by relying on medicinal pills.

Potion of Youth!

Originally favored by female cultivators, this potion kept one's youth and beauty. Lin Xuan modified it slightly to temporarily preserve the illusion of a changed appearance.

As for what form he would take, Lin Xuan had already decided.

The bounty notice required extremely high standards for ordinary humans: women should be as beautiful as celestial maidens, men as handsome as Pan An reincarnated. For Lin Xuan, this was easy; since he embarked on the immortal path two thousand years ago, countless cultivators and beauties had crossed his path. While handsome men were fewer, there were still some.

Take Field Xiao Jian for example!

This guy was the one who most worried him; his temperament and spiritual power aside, his physical appearance far surpassed Pan An's.

Truly a fine gentleman of this world, a graceful young man.

Thus, Lin Xuan used him as a template to transform into Field Xiao Jian’s appearance without any doubt.

If Field Xiao Jian ever came from the demon realm to the spirit realm and was pursued by the Ethereal Immortal Palace, it would be perfect.

In summary, Lin Xuan's plan was two birds with one stone. He could manipulate Field Xiao Jian if given the chance.

As for age, that wasn't an issue either. Although heavenly way experts were formidable, they remained ordinary humans at their core. How long a mere human could maintain youthfulness was limited, so age verification wouldn't be too strict.

Despite his cautious approach, Lin Xuan took several medicinal pills to ensure his bone age appeared similar to that of a young adult when checked by cultivators. He spent half a month preparing everything, ensuring all was ready except for the final push—his journey to the Ethereal Immortal Palace.

Of course, he couldn't go there himself; ordinary human cultivators were generally avoided. If he did, it would backfire. Fortunately, no one had officially announced the bounty yet, but many informed cultivators already knew about it.

Many cultivators coveted the treasures and sought out suitable ordinary humans. Lin Xuan just needed to appear in a crowded place, display his martial prowess, and soon enough, some cultivators would come forward.

Then he could be taken to the Ethereal Immortal Palace, ensuring everything went smoothly.

However, while Lin Xuan's plan was sound, the process turned out more complicated than expected. When he made his appearance, several cultivators were immediately drawn in, seeing him as a valuable treasure. An intense competition ensued.

PS: Yesterday I took my baby to see a doctor and missed one chapter; today I'm making up for it with three chapters. This is the first part.
