Only after watching Qing Ying’s stunning figure disappear into the clouds did Lin Xun withdraw his gaze.
He then looked at the copper mirror in his hand and was somewhat unable to calm down inside.
Does that woman…know something? Otherwise, why would she deliberately seek me out for something that involves ‘Lin Xun’?
Whoosh~
His spirit sense probed into the copper mirror.
In an instant, a mysterious map appeared in his mind. An extremely complicated route was marked on it, and the ultimate destination was a place called Dark Lair!
Lin Xun put away the mirror and walked into the cabin, saying, “Xuanyue, have you ever heard of a place called Dark Lair?”
Jintian Xuanyue frowned and rummaged through her memory for a long time before shaking her head. “This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“Mhm.” Lin Xun let this matter go for now, deciding that he would just pay this ‘lair’ a visit if he had the chance in the future.
He was quite curious about the information that Qing Ying had said ‘will only prove beneficial’ to him.As for the ‘unrefusable’ reward, he didn’t care one bit.
He had only paid attention to Qing Ying’s attitude, which had let him know that whatever was waiting for him in the so-called Dark Lair was not dangerous.
Lin Xun said, “Xuanyue, we need to have fake identities after what happened today, else I’m afraid that our journey will be very eventful.”
Jintian Xuanyue’s lips curled up as she took out a silver-colored mask as thin as a cicada wing. After she put it on her face, her entire temperament and appearance were abruptly transformed.
The otherworldly goddess turned into a girl who looked well-behaved and clever with a hint of naivety. One would think she was an average pretty daughter of a humble family.
Lin Xun was stunned to find that his spirit sense could not see through this disguise at all!
Jintian Xuanyue explained, “This is a gift to my clan from a good friend of our old ancestor, Spirit Emperor Thousand Illusion of All-Demon Dao Court. This marvelous treasure is called the Spiritual Form of All Beings.
“According to Senior Thousand Illusion, only two types of people can see through its disguise: one are Emperor experts, and the other are those who were born with an innate talent similar to the All-Seeing Eye.”
Lin Xun learned something new.
From the name alone, he could tell just how miraculous this treasure mask was.
Lin Xun pondered for a while before shifting forms in a flash, replacing his Green Wood Dao Body with the Yellow Earth Dao Body. His aura and look also changed with it.
He now looked as calm and immovable as a mountain.
Jintian Xuanyue’s eyes widened in shock as she could see that he had really become a completely different person in terms of aura, bearing, and appearance.
His method was even more powerful than her Spiritual Form of All Beings!
At the same time, a bold thought surfaced in her mind...
Is the person he was before also a disguise? If so, what is his true identity?
In fact, she had been skeptical about this as early as back on Whirlwind Ship.
As far as she knew, the Yu Clan was only an Ancient Imperial Clan. They had a good foundation, but had always kept to themselves and been content inside their territory.
If Yu Xuan really came from the Imperial Yu Clan, then he should have become famous long ago with his heaven-defying battle prowess.
On the contrary, however, his name wasn’t even on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings. Furthermore, even Heavenly Sound Pavilion, which was located on the Ziheng Star Field, didn’t know how formidable he really was.
Now that Jintian Xuanyue had seen for herself his skill in switching appearances, how could she not be suspicious?
However, she was sensible enough not to inquire about it.
In truth, she had no idea that Lin Xun had intentionally done that in front of her.
As long as Jintian Xuanyue kept accompanying him, she would definitely notice more and more clues, which he didn’t mind at all.
However, Lin Xun didn’t openly explain either. It was naturally better that his true identity could remain hidden.
After a brief thought, he said, “Call me Jin Duyi from now on.”
Jintian Xuanyue marveled, “Jin Duyi? Great name! Jin is where all the sharpness of heaven and earth gather, and Duyi implies that all things in this world are born with their own uniqueness.”
She was a descendant of Emperor Bai, and her surname, Jintian, was the reminder of the heavenly ‘sharp gold’ bloodline flowing in her. Therefore, she thought that Lin Xun chose Jin as his surname because he was inspired by her surname.
Lin Xun’s lips twitched.
If that vainglorious toad knew a fairy like Jintian Xuanyue loved his name so much, he certainly would get carried away.
“I’m going to be in seclusion for a while,” mused Lin Xun.
He planned to repair the injuries of the Green Wood Dao Body and also use this spare time to completely refine the Spatial Boundary Crystal.
At the same time, he had a goal to break through to the intermediate Supreme Saint-King Stage before arriving at Xuanji Dao Sect. It would be the most ideal outcome if he succeeded.
Jintian Xuanyue nodded, “Good, Young Master. I shall be your guard during this.”
……
While the Grand Universe Ark headed toward Cloud State, the sensation rocking Lin’an City also spread around Qing State like it had wings.
The deaths of Kong Yu and the other experts of Primordial Dao Court, as well as the execution of the Xing clansmen was like a storm that dealt heavy, widespread impacts.
Of note, the Qing State was one of the forty-nine provinces of the Great Primordial Chaos World. Hosting tens of thousands of cities in its vast territory, this province was like a big world on its own.
However, no residents there had ever heard of anyone who would dare to kill disciples from the Great Six Courts!
As such, what caught their attention was Yu Xuan’s battle prowess. As inconceivable as it sounded, even in a one-on-two confrontation, he had been able to ignore the great gap in cultivation and kill two quasi-Emperors.
What confused everyone the most was that the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings, which covered the entire Ancient Nebula Road, recorded no such illogical menace called Yu Xuan!
Under this circumstance, the deaths of Xing Liushui and the others raised very little commotion.
After all, Lin’an City was only one of the tens of thousands of cities in Qing State. Although the Xing Clan was the strongest force here, it was still negligible when one took the whole province into consideration.
In just a few days’ time, the news of the murder of the Primordial Dao Court’s experts had reached every corner of Qing State.
The name ‘Yu Xuan’ was like a dark horse that had come out of nowhere, shaking Qing State and gathering countless gazes.
It didn’t take long for his details to be dug out.
Such as: he was from the Yu Clan, an Ancient Imperial Clan in the Great Yu World, and he had traveled across the nebula to the Great Primordial Chaos World via Heavenly Sound Pavilion’s Whirlwind Ship…
Even his deeds on Whirlwind Ship didn’t slip past investigations.
There was no way to hide them anyway since every cultivator who had been on that ship at that time knew about it.
In the end, the compilation of all this information allowed the cultivators of Qing State to draw a similar conclusion.
“Yu Xuan is a well-concealed expert of heaven-defying strength who is under the protection of Sword Emperor Brave Gale of the Jintian Clan. Because of a woman named Liu Qingyan, he started a feud with Kong Yu and a group of Primordial Dao Court’s experts…”
Despite what had been found out, in the eyes of those who took great interest in this matter, there were still many mysteries surrounding Yu Xuan.
For example, Earth Treasury Realm’s Zen Master Wuming and his group had declared that he was a heretic and wanted to execute him.
Sword Emperor Brave Gale had also intended to suppress him, only to end up having a complete change in attitude for some unknown reason.
In short, Lin Xun’s fake identity had become famous through and through in Qing State.
Someone made an inference, “Since he is on the target list of Earth Treasury Realm, Yu Xuan will find it hard-pressed to escape their hunt.
“Moreover, he killed disciples of Primordial Dao Court. Even if Yu Xuan has Sword Emperor Brave Gale as his backer, I’m afraid that no one can help him stay alive in this Great Primordial Chaos World!”
Such a viewpoint was shared by more than many.
For a while, Qing State was restless.
When the matter spread beyond Qing State, what caught the most attention was instead the unreasonable power displayed by Yu Xuan!
Ignoring a whole gap of one big cultivation stage to kill two quasi-Emperors as a supreme Saint-King was rarely ever seen in the Great Primordial Chaos World.
Who could ignore such a freakish talent?
Rumor had it that when the news reached Mythical Huang Dao Court, one of the Great Six Courts, it had even caught the attention of some ancient monsters!
After all, the Starry Sky True Saint, Starry Sky Big Saint, and All Heavens Saint-King Rankings were all published by them.
The fact that an expert of Yu Xuan’s caliber had never appeared on the All Heavens Saint-King Rankings naturally became a noteworthy anomaly for Mythical Huang Dao Court.
However, the Great Primordial Chaos World was ultimately too big for the name Yu Xuan to familiarize itself with the vast majority of cultivators within it.
Strictly speaking, Yu Xuan’s prestige was only limited to the region of and around Qing State.
……
Lin Xun was blissfully unaware of the storms outside.
Moreover, since he and Jintian Xuanyue had both assumed new identities, it was impossible for those who came across him on the way to recognize him.
Ten days later.
The Grand Universe Ark, after carrying the duo through thousands of mountains, rivers, and cities, finally left the territory of the Qing State.
The journey had been peaceful.
It was also on this day that Lin Xun completely refined the Spatial Boundary Crystal, which boosted his control over the Law of Space by a large margin!
The thumb-sized Spatial Boundary Crystal was actually extremely complex as it contained the origin power of space produced at the birth of the universe.
Coupled with the fact Lin Xun had spent the whole six months on Whirlwind Ship to meditate on his Great Dao Field, refining the Spatial Boundary Crystal had acted as a catalyst that allowed his mastery of the Law of Space to undergo a substantial transformation.
Every world operated a different Spatial Law.
For example, the Spatial Laws of the Great Yu World and the Great Primordial Chaos World were completely different.
However, as long as one gained control over the mysteries of the Law of Space, no matter which world they went to, they could perform their own spatial skills like a fish in water.
In Lin Xun’s case, the skills would be teleportation, ‘my size is what I will,’ Close Yet Far…
The most important thing, however, was in the fact that mastering the Law of Space played a crucial role in the cohesion of one’s Great Dao Field!
An instance was Lin Xun’s current situation, where the improvement in his comprehension of Law of Space had given him newfound understanding on his own Great Dao Field.
He had a strong premonition that the day when he could complete his Great Dao Field was not far away!
