第两千七百五十二章 化身凡人

However, there was no need to worry. Compared to the potential gains, this minor fatigue was insignificant.

True Spirit Blood, he would not give up on; even if it meant searching for a needle in a haystack, he must find it.

At the same time, Lin Xuan sat in a tea house.

After such a long journey, he felt somewhat tired. He sipped his tea leisurely while resting with his eyes closed.

The taste of this spirit tea was not bad; the aroma of the pastries was equally delightful to the heart and mind. Although made by ordinary people, the flavor was undoubtedly exquisite. Lin Xuan enjoyed it very much.

He had already decided that he would rest in the city for two days before continuing his travels without a fixed abode. This way, he could spend several months wandering around, which seemed safer and more secure.

Lin Xuan was not in a hurry. For ordinary people, a few months might seem like a long time, but to him, such a period was negligible—just the blink of an eye.

He had enough patience.

Who could blame him for that nagging unease in his heart?

Having decided on his course of action, Lin Xuan planned to rest. However, before he could finish his tea, suddenly, without any warning, a sense of dread descended from the sky.

Lin Xuan raised his head in surprise and saw the scene that shocked countless cultivators in the city.

A Golden-Edged Old Monster!

In an instant, Lin Xuan realized this.

Although he had not released his divine consciousness, using it might draw attention to him. He decided against it.

But did he really need to use his divine consciousness to confirm?

Lin Xuan was no stranger to interacting with such high-level cultivators; besides, the opponent had already revealed their spiritual pressure. With just a sense of feeling, Lin Xuan could determine that this must be a Golden-Edged cultivator.

Lin Xuan's surprise was evident.

But after his initial shock, countless thoughts raced through his mind.

A Golden-Edged cultivator, often elusive and hard to spot, suddenly appeared here with such grandeur. Why?

What did he mean by releasing his divine consciousness? Was he searching for something?

Wait, searching for something?

Could it be that he was looking for him?

A terrifying yet bold thought emerged in Lin Xuan's mind.

After careful consideration, this seemed highly plausible.

Otherwise, why would the mysterious sign in his heart persist?

Was it because this old monster had been constantly tracking him?

Otherwise, Lin Xuan did not think there was anything noteworthy about this city that a Golden-Edged cultivator would pay attention to. The opponent's appearance here seemed too abrupt from any perspective.

Could he have left some clues in the chaotic space, which led to this unexpected trouble?

Lin Xuan carefully pondered and found no obvious flaws or traces.

However, with countless strange people in the cultivation world, what seemed flawless to him might not be so to others. This was not unusual.

As his thoughts raced, Lin Xuan's expression fluctuated between calm and anxious.

Soon, he made a decision. He silently slipped out of the tea house.

At this moment, most of the city's cultivators and ordinary people were focused on the Golden-Edged cultivator in the sky, so no one paid attention to an Incorporeal Stage cultivator like Lin Xuan.

Such cultivators were common in the city; his appearance was unremarkable. These factors provided excellent cover for him.

Lin Xuan moved quickly, taking advantage of the chaos in the city until he reached a deserted area.

Looking around, the nearest cultivator was more than a hundred feet away. Such distance might not be safe, but as long as he did not attack, the opponent would likely ignore him.

Lin Xuan's figure flashed, and he entered an empty room nearby without making a sound.

He then raised his hands, forming several intricate hand seals. As he moved, his aura rapidly diminished.

But this was not about concealing his qi; it was the Heaven Demon Transformation Technique.

The term "concealment" merely referred to hiding one's spiritual energy. Once encountered by a high-ranking cultivator and probed with divine consciousness, exposure was inevitable.

However, the Heaven Demon Transformation Technique differed. If successful, using this technique would render all his magical power and essence infant invisible. Even a Golden-Edged old monster could not discern any trace of it.

Of course, during this period, Lin Xuan himself could not use any magical power. The trick was that he appeared indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

With countless cultivators in the city, even his identity as an ordinary person would ensure he went unnoticed.

Although Lin Xuan did not know which part of his actions in the chaotic space might have been problematic and led him here, whatever he did now seemed the most prudent approach.

What if he was still discovered?

Lin Xuan had no intention of confronting this Golden-Edged old monster. Although his transformation brought an unexpected increase in rank, his strength and abilities were still inferior to those of a Golden-Edged cultivator.

He could only take things as they came. This vast city provided the best cover.

Moreover, Lin Xuan dared to do these small actions because the opponent's divine consciousness had not yet scanned this area.

The current city was too large; with millions of cultivators and ordinary people, it would be difficult for a Golden-Edged old monster to thoroughly probe everyone in an instant. It would take some time.

However, Lin Xuan acted decisively and swiftly.

In less than the time it took to brew tea, Lin Xuan felt a powerful divine consciousness sweep over him.

To be honest, even with his earlier speculation, he could not help feeling slightly nervous; his heart rate had increased somewhat. This was unrelated to psychological resilience; even the most resilient mind would struggle to remain calm in such circumstances.

Fortunately, the opponent did not notice anything amiss. Facing a Golden-Edged old monster, even if one's heart did not waver, it was inevitable for the heartbeat to accelerate slightly.

Although the Marquis of Heavenly Essence had learned Lin Xuan's spiritual energy mark from the spirit beast, the problem lay in the fact that Lin Xuan had now used the Heaven Demon Transformation Technique. His body and essence were completely devoid of magical power, making him indistinguishable from an ordinary person. The Marquis of Heavenly Essence could not have imagined such a turn of events, so he naturally failed to notice anything amiss.
