328: Multitasking, the epitome of perfection
Back then, the Nascent Soul Realm Crane Yao, Young Master Yun Xu, could sense the special Kunpeng aura on Liu Xuan.
This time, An Yunmiao's natal Spirit Beast was also in the Nascent Soul Realm, and even slightly stronger than Young Master Yun Xu, yet it didn't notice anything unusual about Liu Xuan.
"Is it because my Five Elements reached Perfection after breaking through to the Golden Core, making my aura harder to perceive, or is 'Fatty's' sensory ability worse than Young Master Yun Xu's?"
Fatty and Da Shan were both Mountain Shaking Holy Bears; one could tell just by looking at them that they were Yao Beasts with only brute strength. It was normal for their sensory abilities to be inferior to Young Master Yun Xu's.
Whether it was Fatty or Young Master Yun Xu, they were both Yao Beasts by nature. Liu Xuan could deceive them, but he didn't have the confidence to deceive a true Nascent Soul True Lord!
Deceiving a Nascent Soul True Lord—if discovered, based on that alone, no one would cry foul if he were beaten to death on the spot.
With the Five Elements Golden Core reaching Perfection and the Physical Body Golden Core being flawless, Liu Xuan was confident that after combining the two, he could completely restrain his aura, and even a Nascent Soul True Lord wouldn't be able to see through him easily.
However, in the cultivation world, spells and divine abilities were endless. Liu Xuan couldn't guarantee that all Nascent Soul True Lords would fail to see his abnormality.
The other party was a Nascent Soul True Lord; as long as they sensed the slightest anomaly, they would have every reason to further investigate his body, and he would be exposed then!
Hiding his cultivation, deceiving a Nascent Soul True Lord, plus Liu Xuan's exaggeratedly monstrous cultivation speed—his fate would entirely depend on the other party's mood.
"I must think of a safer way; otherwise, I'll have to avoid Nascent Soul True Lords!"
Fortunately, on the surface, Liu Xuan was currently just a minor Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. There were two major Realms between him and a Nascent Soul True Lord, so the other party generally wouldn't pay him any mind.
A few days later.
While Liu Xuan was still considering whether to use Wang Qiao's identity to go to the Peach Blossom Sect battlefield, a letter from An Yunxi left him with no room for hesitation.
True Lord Haoran wanted to see him! In the letter, An Yunxi asked Liu Xuan to come over when he had the time.
From An Yunxi's letter, it seemed her father hadn't forced Liu Xuan to come and pay respects; it was optional.
But Liu Xuan understood that this was only because True Lord Haoran doted on his daughter. If he really didn't go, the consequences would be hard to predict.
"I'll go! I must go."
Liu Xuan wasn't planning to take a risk; he had already made thorough preparations!
He spread his palm, a slit opened in the center, and a drop of essence blood resembling amber flew out.
The essence blood twisted and expanded, gradually transforming into a person who looked exactly like Liu Xuan. His aura was undisguised, at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage.
The advanced Divine Ability of Blood Drop Rebirth: Ten Thousand Incarnations! Liu Xuan had specifically cultivated this Divine Ability this year. Although he couldn't truly create Ten Thousand Incarnations yet, making a few low-level Incarnations was no problem.
Not long ago, he had already replaced the reserved essence blood at the core of the Star Space with an Incarnation, which was currently dormant.
Including this current Early Foundation Establishment Stage Incarnation, he now had a total of three Incarnations.
The Incarnation in the Star Space was for resurrection. To quickly recover his cultivation after an accident, he used the power of the entire Star Array to nourish it and soaked it in a spirit liquid made from various high-grade Heaven And Earth Treasures, striving to raise it to the same cultivation Realm as himself before he fell.
This current Early Foundation Establishment Stage Incarnation was much simpler. It didn't require much essence blood and didn't need careful nourishment, so its cost was relatively low.
Yes! Incarnations had a cost. The essence blood used to condense an Incarnation was equivalent to taking away a portion of Liu Xuan's cultivation. Once lost, it would mean a drop in his cultivation Realm.
Incarnations were not clones; they were just a part of Liu Xuan's body, without self-awareness, and unable to Cultivate on their own.
At Liu Xuan's current Realm, having too many Incarnations was meaningless. Firstly, he couldn't divide his attention to control them, and secondly, he had to bear the risk of losing cultivation, which wasn't worth it.
"Buzz~"
The Incarnation opened its eyes. The two Liu Xuans looked at each other. Dividing his mind and seeing himself felt a bit strange.
It was just multitasking; even Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators could easily do it, so it naturally posed no difficulty for Liu Xuan.
As long as it wasn't something like dividing his mind to comprehend techniques or engage in combat, three-way or four-way multitasking was no problem.
"Incarnation, True Body! Same body, same Divine Soul, the only difference is the strength of cultivation. The one with the highest cultivation is the True Body!"
The True Body's appearance changed, turning into Wang Qiao. The Five Elements within his Golden Core shifted, revealing only the Pure Yang attribute. A faint Nine Radiance Sword Intent radiated out, and his Golden Core Early Stage aura was undisguised.
"Greetings, Junior Martial Uncle Wang!"
"You may rise, Junior Brother Liu!"
Liu Xuan quickly became familiar with controlling two bodies at once, having a lot of fun with it.
"When the time comes, I'll use Wang Qiao's identity to stay by Shen Yunshu's side, and then use the Early Foundation Establishment Stage Incarnation to meet True Lord Haoran. It's simply perfect!"
An ordinary Incarnation certainly wouldn't be able to hide from True Lord Haoran, but Liu Xuan was different. The Golden Core he achieved was the supreme Golden Core of Five Elements Perfection and the Cultivation of Life and Soul. The Ten Thousand Incarnations Divine Ability, an advancement of the Blood Drop Rebirth Divine Ability, was also a top-tier Divine Ability. Unless they sliced him up for research, they would absolutely not see anything unusual.
As for Wang Qiao, Liu Xuan had already comprehended the Nine Radiance Sword Intent, so impersonating him was as easy as turning over a hand.
Initially, the identity of Wang Qiao was only used to cover up the commotion caused by Liu Xuan's Breakthrough to the Golden Core. Now that the goal had been achieved, this identity wasn't actually that important.
Liu Xuan could completely use Wang Qiao's identity to do whatever he wanted on the Peach Blossom Sect battlefield. If he caused trouble, he could just discard the identity; after all, he didn't have much of a connection with the Liu Family.
The Incarnation Liu Xuan and 'Wang Qiao' left the Star Space together. Wang Qiao flew to the Red Pine Secret Realm to stay, while Liu Xuan gathered the women of the West Courtyard to announce a major piece of news.
"What?!"
"Husband, you're going to the Peach Blossom Sect battlefield with Immortal Master Wang?"
"Then what about us?"
"Yeah! What about us?"
...The news had just been announced, and it immediately sparked a heated discussion among everyone.
Su Wan, Xiao Ran, Yue Li, Zi Ling, Zi Lan, Lu Ping, Xia He, and Hu Lingzhao—one Golden Core and seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The eight women with the highest cultivation in the West Courtyard all looked at Liu Xuan in confusion, needing an explanation.
Liu Xuan still had to help them Cultivate. If he went to the battlefield, how would they Cultivate? How would the three hundred women of the West Courtyard Cultivate?
"Husband, you've always had no interest in war. Why would you suddenly want to go to the battlefield?" Xiao Ran was the first to ask.
"Exactly! Our Liu Family is developing steadily, and our cultivation is progressing rapidly. We should just focus on developing peacefully. Why go to some battlefield?!"
Yue Li also chimed in.
Yue Li was at the False Core Realm. Back then, to keep her from going to the battlefield, her Revered Master, Shen Yunshu, had paid five million Spirit Stones on her behalf. Now that Liu Xuan was going to the battlefield, what was that all about?
Liu Xuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then explained, "You probably know a bit about An Yunxi's identity from the Artifact Refining Hall, right?"
"Her father, the Academy Head of the Beast Taming Sect Southern Branch, True Lord Haoran, ordered me to come and pay my respects. How can I not go?!"
"However, you don't need to worry. The peripheral battlefield of the Peach Blossom Sect has already stabilized. I actually had the idea of going there to develop for a while now."
"Furthermore, I don't plan on going alone. I'll be taking some of you with me!"
No matter the time, Liu Xuan would never forget his core mission. He had to go to the battlefield, but he also had to keep having children!
