Chapter 898 - Talking About Future Plans
"I don"t know what I want other than that." Xue Lang looked down.
"How about this, you can give the Fire Gra.s.s first to us, and we will give you a token. We are going to stay here for a year due to various reasons, so you can activate that token when you know what your wish is." Lin Xingzhi offered a solution while smiling.
Alex hesitated for a few seconds before nodding his head. "Yeah. We will stay here for a year."
Due to him becoming a G.o.d Rank Expert, he realized that everything took much more time than he thought. If he calculated everything and placed it for his body refining, he might need a few months to complete the refinement.
After all, it took him less than a month to refine his body because he had a mortal body.
"I understand." Xue Lang accepted it because the soul managed to persuade him.
"Then, what should we do now?" Lin Xingzhi looked at Alex, but the latter only stared at Xue Lang.
Realizing his intention, he took out a red burning gra.s.s. He received the gra.s.s while handing him a wooden token. "If you have decided what you want for the last wish, channel your energy into that token, I will have the induction."
Xue Lang nodded and stored it carefully.
"We are going to wait until this little la.s.s finishes her cultivation first before searching for a place to cultivate." Alex nodded.
"I-in that case, how about staying inside my kingdom? I can provide two seniors a good place to cultivate." The elder suddenly opened her mouth, even though she didn"t talk this whole time.
Lin Xingzhi shook her head. "Nah, we are good. We will just get our own place. We certainly don"t want to get involved with any influences."
"…" The elder looked down but still bowed politely. "I understand. That is a shame, but if two seniors have any need, you may come to me. I will do everything to satisfy two seniors" needs."
Alex and Lin Xingzhi exchanged looks and smiled. Not only this boy, but this older female also seemed to want to take advantage of them too.
Unfortunately, Alex had no desire to entangle himself with another royal family.
They then made a tent, so they could rest. However, Lin Xingzhi went a bit extreme this time. Instead of a normal tent, she bent down and placed her hand on the ground.
"Earth… Can you rise for me and turn into a small house?" Lin Xingzhi smiled as she felt a vibration underground.
A few stone pillars pierced through the ground, becoming the house"s foundation. After that, a series of bricks started coming out.
Alex didn"t need to do anything this time and simply watched the wander."
Lin Xingzhi and waved her hand toward the three people. "See you tomorrow."
Although Alex looked like he went inside the tent, his energy was enveloping the entire battlefield. Hence, he would surely know if someone decided to attack them.
The three outside kept staring at the stone hut and let out a long sigh. Such a convenient technique, they thought.
"Are you sure about all this?" Alex asked.
"I am sure." She nodded. "Either way, we won"t give anything that will change the entire balance of this world. After the little la.s.s wakes up, we are going to bound her with a Universe Oath, so she won"t say anything about the technique."
"Seeing the expression of that little boy, I believe he has quite a background. There is a trace of killing intent in him as if telling me he has someone he wants to kill." Alex narrowed his eyes.
"No. We are not going to kill anyone in this world. If he really wants to kill someone, I can recover that soul"s strength for a moment with my Nature Element, so she can do it in our stead." She smiled.
"Well, we have destroyed the cliches, right? Normally, the guy will get stronger and have the older one as a wife. Then he will reunite with her sister again and get together with the soul, especially after reviving her."
"Yep. This time, he can get stronger easily while his sister is with him… Also, getting stronger. Looking at this situation, the older one might make a move first, trying to tie him close with her. The problem is whether the male is wise enough to use the power we have given or not. One misstep, he will become the whole world"s target."
"Indeed. His talent now is top-notch. If we include his sister in the package, he will surely become the most dangerous duo. Not that I care about it." Alex agreed. "Anyway, I have gotten another benefit in coming to this world."
"Hmm?!"
"Do you know my next plan?"
"You haven"t told me yet."
"I am planning to hide my cultivation and sneak inside the planet that gave birth the Sword G.o.d in the past."
"Sword G.o.d?" Lin Xingzhi tilted her head, thinking it was just a stage. She soon realized that Alex was talking about that person all along. "You mean that "Sword G.o.d?" The one that reached the pinnacle of Sword Skill?"
"Yeah." Alex nodded. "I want to learn about Sword and Spear Qi. And the best way to do it is to start from the bottom to learn the foundation first. Well, I have gotten some information about it, but I just want to see it with my own eyes and learn more."
"You mean it"s not enough?"
"Yeah. That"s it. I need to produce more Sword and Spear Qi as soon as possible, so I can make a foundation for that. On the other hand, I am worried about the others."
"Don"t worry. I have asked Korzan to take care of that. He is responsible for rescuing them before any mishap happens." Lin Xingzhi waved her hand, a.s.suring him.
"Alright then."
"Anyway, your plan is quite risky, you know. That world is a Divine World with Rank 3 G.o.d as the highest. After the fall of the Sword G.o.d, they didn"t have any more Rank 1 G.o.d to replace that position. Still, it will be dangerous because people might realize your existence."
"What do you think about my sealing magic?" Alex asked.
"I certainly can"t recognize you. Maybe you want to dye your hand and put on makeup, so no one can recognize you. As for your voice… That"s the only thing I can"t help." Lin Xingzhi shrugged. "I have a few that can change one"s voice, but all of them can be easily detected by technology."
"Now that you mention it, there is indeed something like that." Alex nodded. "Haiz… Science indeed harms cultivation while the latter can"t be described by science as it broke the natural law."
"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 G.o.d."
"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 s.p.a.ce 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 ident.i.ty."
"What is my relations.h.i.+p with the former Sword G.o.d?" Alex asked.
"Neutral."
Alex sighed. With that kind of relations.h.i.+p, it would indeed go in that direction if they knew his ident.i.ty.
"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 ident.i.ty. Or you can search for a s.h.i.+eld."
"A s.h.i.+eld?" 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.
