898 Talking about Future Plans (2/2)
”Indeed.” Lin Xingzhi nodded. ”In any case, you will need to hide yourself there.”
”I understand. I will do my best.” Alex nodded. ”Well, I should probably be there for at least two years. At the very least, I will try to stay in that place until I reach Rank 8 God.”
”Indeed. There are many opportunities in that place. Just make sure you don't use both sword and spear at the same time. And since you want to start from the bottom, you shouldn't go to the weakest continent.”
Alex tilted his head in confusion. ”Why?”
”It's simple. We can take the example of the Heavenly Continent and Willow Continent. You will have a bigger opportunity in the former because their understanding is much better than the Willow Continent. Of course, the risk is higher, but I don't think it's a problem for you.”
”Well, I don't want to take a risk, but I will see whether I can conceal myself or not.” Alex nodded.
”Sure.” She nodded. ”And make sure you control your strength.”
”I know. Although the Space Element can seal my cultivation, soul, or even intent, it can't seal my current strength or Divine Body. I will only use it if needed.” Alex thought for a moment and asked. ”I wonder how low I can seal my cultivation for this? Martial King?”
”I think Martial Monarch is a good stage. A peak one of course. You can fake it in the future, saying you just broke through to Martial Saint, thus letting out such power. And there is a big difference if your Sword and Spear Qi is too strong. Have you started producing them?”
”Yes.”
”Can you show me?”
Alex nodded and raised both hands, releasing an immeasurable pressure.
Lin Xingzhi facepalmed, sighing. ”This is bad. The Qi is too strong. Due to the Divine Energy, it has grown close to Divine Sword and Spear Qi. It will probably go well with that setting, but if a powerful person shows up, he might realize a trace of Divine Energy in your qi.”
”I won't use it unless for killing.”
”That's fine then. This planet will surely not let us off and inform other planets about your existence if they find your real identity.”
”What is my relationship with the former Sword God?” Alex asked.
”Neutral.”
Alex sighed. With that kind of relationship, it would indeed go in that direction if they knew his identity.
”Anyway, we should wrap this talk soon because everything will rely on how well you conceal yourself.” Lin Xingzhi smiled.
”Yeah. I still have a year for that anyway.” Alex nodded. ”I think I will close it with this question… Should I join an influence?”
Lin Xingzhi narrowed her eyes and hesitated. This was a hard question. On one hand, Alex might be discovered if he joined an influence there. On the other hand, he would have low progress if he didn't join one.
”I think they won't care much about low-level disciples. As long as you don't make a ruckus, I think it's fine to join one with a new identity. Or you can search for a shield.”
”A shield?” Alex thought for a moment and realized what she meant by that. ”I see. You want me to save a damsel in distress and use her and her family to be my cover?”
”Yes.”
”…” Alex facepalmed. ”In stories, they usually appear out of nowhere. They don't need to search for one, and it will come to them almost every time. And now, I need to search for one… Haiz, I don't know if I should be grateful or feel humiliated.”
”Haha…” Lin Xingzhi only laughed. ”That's a good one, eh… Searching for a scene to be a hero. Well, I think you can use her to get more information…”
”Yeah. I will probably do that. Alright, even if I don't want it, I need to do it.” Alex nodded.
”Sure.” Lin Xingzhi smiled.
They then rested for a few hours before feeling a breakthrough happened near them. It obviously came from Xue Ning, who finally finished cultivating the new technique.
She rose from the ground and checked her body, realizing how powerful she had become. ”This…”
Her brother and the elder arrived in front of her and were shocked by her current stage.
”You… Have you reached Martial Grandmaster? The same as me?” The elder exclaimed in surprise.
”I think the last bit of energy from before allows me to have a breakthrough. But I don't think I will have another one like this in the future. It's a one-time thing.” She shook her head. ”Besides, Elder is a high ranking Martial Grandmaster.”
The elder fell silent, not denying that claim. The need to cultivate rose in her heart while looking at Xue Lang, who seemed to have also broken through. Unlike his sister, he didn't have such a flashy breakthrough, but advancing a star could be considered insane enough.
In other words, this pair of brother and sister were both monsters. She needed to tie a close knot with them.
However, Alex and Lin Xingzhi appeared before she could do anything, checking on Xue Ning's cultivation.
”Hmm… I think it has become stable.” Alex used his Spirit Eyes to see the energy within her body.
”Thanks to seniors for allowing me to have this opportunity.” Xue Ning clasped her hands politely and bowed.
”Nah. I am just fulfilling my side of agreements.” Alex waved his hand. ”And since I have finished, I shall leave first.”
”Remember, it's only for one year.” Lin Xingzhi reminded Xue Lang again before she and Alex flew away.
