[Congratulations to the host for completing the task of consuming 10,000 supreme-grade Five Elements Pearls.]
[Mission Success Reward: 10,000 prodigal points]
[Special Reward: Mask of Disguise (With this mask, you can transform into another person at will. You can also change your cultivation level and even hide your aura. No one will be able to notice your disguise)]
When he saw the words ‘Mask of Disguise’, Ye Xuan’s breath missed a beat. However, the attributes behind it made him exclaim that it was of the supreme grade.
This thing was too good!
No matter how well Ye Xuan disguised himself, he would still be easily seen through in front of a top expert, let alone in a place like the capital where many hidden experts were lurking around.
If it wasn’t for the help of those people at the auction, he was afraid that his identity would really have been discovered by the people of the seven great sects. Now that he had this disguise, it could be said that he no longer had any worries.
The black mask in his hand was as thin as a cicada’s wings and looked ordinary. Ye Xuan didn’t feel anything when he put it on his face. It was as though he was wearing nothing.
He waved out a water mirror, and the face that reflected in his eyes was extremely unfamiliar. Moreover, his cultivation had also changed.
“Cultivation can also be disguised. Is it really that magical?”
Ye Xuan closed his eyes again, and when he opened them again, his aura kept rising. He was at the peak level of the sun rank!
His entire body was surging with a huge aura. It was an unprecedented feeling as if he could kill everything with a single strike. This kind of cultivation and feeling was too magical.
Not to mention the others, even Ye Xuan himself was almost fooled. If he didn’t know his cultivation level, he would have really thought that he was a powerful sun-rank cultivator.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s enough to pass off the fake as the real thing. It’s really exquisite.”
However, although it was seamless, it would be exposed once he made a move. After all, Ye Xuan’s strength was only so much, and no matter how good his disguise was, it was still fake.
But all of this was enough for Ye Xuan. If there really was such a divine artifact that could even change a person’s cultivation immediately, it would be too heaven-defying.
“It’ll be much more convenient in the future, and I won’t have to worry about being seen through.”
Ye Xuan took off the mask with satisfaction. This mask of disguise was simply a must-have item for traveling as well as committing murder and robbery.
He didn’t know that in the future, because of this tool, he would have countless more avatars, and his reputation would be well-known throughout the myriad world. People would hear his name everywhere.
But that was a story for the future.
…
The Tai Qing Sect had become this year’s greatest dark horse that had charged out of the tight encirclement. It had become a matter that had recently become a hot topic on the streets and in the alleys of the capital.
The person who opened the gambling house felt extremely unlucky at the mention of these words. After all, everyone was a loser, and they lost so much that they didn’t even have any capital.
If they knew that it was Ye Xuan who had spent so many top-grade spirit stones to bet on the Tai Qing Sect and made a lot of money with this momentum, who knew if they would vomit blood in anger?
“It’s strange. The Tai Qing Sect is small, and its overall strength is not very good. Where did they get the supreme-grade Five Elements Pearls?”
One must know that one supreme-grade Five Elements Pearl costs tens of thousands of spiritual stones on the market. Moreover, there was a price but no market for it. It was an extremely rare existence.
“I heard that all of the pearls were given by their elder.”
“What kind of person is that elder? He has so many Five Elements Pearls.”
“I think he’s called Ye Xuan or something. He’s only at human rank level three. I wonder how someone like him became an elder.”
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed this. Although the overall strength of the Tai Qing Sect is not good, most of their disciples have single spiritual roots, and there are even a few with variant spiritual roots. Their aptitude is simply too good.”
All the disciples would participate in the competition, so whether it was spirit root or cultivation level, it could not be hidden. Such a situation in the Tai Qing Sect was rare even in those large sects.
“I think I’ve noticed it too. It’s really strange. These people’s aptitudes are pretty good, so why would they stay in such a sect?”
Everyone was in disbelief. If they knew that these disciples had ordinary aptitudes at the beginning, and some of them were even worse, and it was all because of Ye Xuan’s supreme-grade marrow cleansing pill that they became like this, their jaws would probably drop in shock.
“The Tai Qing Sect is only able to take the lead among the disciples because of the Five Elements Pearl. I’m afraid the Five Elements Pearl won’t be of much use in the elder competition and the battle between the sect masters.”
The elders and the sect master were both sky rank or above, so they had a lot of ways to deal with the Five Elements Pearls. Moreover, they were prepared this time, so even if they had more of the Five Elements Pearl, they would not be able to win easily.
After this round of competition between the disciples, there was still competition between the elders and the sect masters. Therefore, no one relaxed and they studied the various sects.
As the saying goes, ‘Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated’. By understanding the strength of the disciples, the elders, and the sect masters, they would be able to roughly estimate the sect’s strength.
Who would have thought that there would be a dark horse who did not play by the rules this time? When it came to the Tai Qing Sect, the people from the other sects had complicated expressions.
“Tai Qing Sect is just lucky. After this, they will be having it tough. With their elders and someone at human rank level 3, dealing with them will be a piece of cake.”
…
After the first round of the competition, there were a few days of rest. Ye Xuan seized the opportunity to cultivate the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. For some reason, he had a faint premonition that a great danger was about to descend.
It was also possible that he was overthinking things.
However, he had the Penglai Immortal stone that the Misty Illusory Manor had been trying their best to obtain, as well as the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram that contained the secret of the immortal ascension. Any one of these items would probably cause a commotion if it was brought out.
Thinking about it, he had offended more than half of the seven great sects. Because of Lin Yuanheng, he had also offended the Yaochi Holy Land.
