Slight Truth.

—

Especially considering the fact that the Heaven Chosen reached the second realm in just one and a half centuries—a very short time compared to slow progress like his. If not for Yelena, it might have taken him thousands upon thousands of years. Looking in the direction where the Asura would be, Tian Xing couldn't help but shiver, knowing that he would be left in the dust by the time he blinked during just one meditation session.

Calculating with his fingers and realizing the high chance of this happening, Tian Xing couldn't help but feel a black line form on his forehead, clearly understanding why his wife and best friends always looked dejected whenever they discussed about his cultivation levels in the previous world.

Although he told Ying Yue centuries ago that he didn't want to battle for supremacy, it didn't mean he wanted to remain a mere speck of dust. Now, noticing the speed of this lucky bastard's breakthroughs, he thought that at least being an ordinary mortal, who could watch gods and demons fight with the naked eye, was good enough for him.

The simple reason being that Tian Xing, too, wanted to see the impact of his Butterfly Echoes and how it affected the world's state more clearly, unlike during the previous multiversal war, which he could not witness. At that time, he was just a speck of dust and could only nudge unknown individuals he didn't even know.

Nodding to himself, Tian Xing sent a karma message to Ying Yue and Yelena, urging them to return quickly to speed up their cultivation progress, as their master wanted to be at least mortal by the time many Heaven Chosen finally arrived at the highest unknown heavens in the future. Seeing both of them instantly fly up into the boat, Tian Xing then controlled the formation disk to speed up the circulation of Wuxing, making the flying boat move much faster this time.

Seeing this, Ying Yue couldn't help but chuckle. "Is Master suddenly eager to see what the battle for supremacy of this generation will look like? Isn't the Asura's battle making Master's blood boil, wanting to at least participate in the war between mortals and celestial heavens? It's okay, Master; you don't have to tell Yue anymore because Ying Yue understands completely how you feel."

Twitching his eyebrows at having been completely read through, Tian Xing just snorted in dissatisfaction, seeing this teasing girl continue to come up with her own conjectures, which had a slight truth to them. Only a slight truth, nothing more. Ignoring Ying Yue's giggles, he then drew the samsara symbol in the air once again using his Golden Branch, placing Yelena's false soul back into her body.

Turning toward Yelena, who was sitting beside him in the chair, smiling at him, Tian Xing ignored his obvious embarrassment and said, "Yelena, tell me again how to reach Saintess Elixir's territory faster. Master has finally decided it's okay to expose ourselves to karma for just a little bit, since Master's daughter looked in my direction, and by doing so, has already sown the seeds of fate for Master's participation as a sideline extra in the battle for supremacy."

Seeing her master finally willing to use the teleportation array built by the Wang family—unlike before, when he was reluctant due to his nature of minimizing karma, especially while the Soul Refining Sect was on their trail—Yelena nodded and began to tell him about the nearby capital in someone else's territory, which she currently knew of, that had a connection to Saintess Elixir.

Nodding, Tian Xing said, after a brief calculation, "Let's head to the Celestial Phoenix Kingdom to use the teleportation array to reach Saintess Elixir. This time, we need to conceal ourselves thoroughly because Master still wants us to be seen as refugees from the Huang Xian Continent."

After noticing that they were already preparing themselves—with Ying Yue going to the bathroom to clean the blood that stained her body from head to toe, and Yelena reflecting on her recent Concealment martial arts experience—Tian Xing also decided to prepare himself. 

This was to ensure that their transition into the society's karma went smoothly and that no traces were left that could be traced back to him later so that he could remain hidden from prying eyes as much as possible, which was in his nature. But before that, Tian Xing needed to deal with a meteor currently heading in his general direction, trying to find out who his daughter had waved at earlier.

Even though his method of Concealment was relatively good—copied from the highest auxiliary tools for comprehending the Dao of Yin Ni or Concealment, with his personal touch of passive Tian Ming Dao to erase the fate and karma trying to connect to him—it was still not enough once someone truly stubborn wanted to know about him.

So, painting the fate of the flying boat and nudging the meteorites near him, Tian Xing manipulated their paths so they would fly past him whenever they approached his location. He made it seem like they found him in the forest below, only to realize it was just shadows when seen from a certain perspective.

As for the battle that Ying Yue had engaged in earlier, there was nothing Tian Xing could do about that. Attracting Heavenly Tribulation was already too eye-catching for anyone not to notice. Because of this, he made sure that the gods investigating the scene of the battle encountered each other, distracting them with either an acquaintance or an old enemy, ensuring they destroyed the karmic evidence to satisfy their desire for revenge.

After completing all of this and seeing the demons, gods, and immortals gradually move away from his general direction, Tian Xing nodded, satisfied that his manual work was now done. Now, he could only wait for his automatic work to make this forest area the center of a battlefield later, which would then completely destroy any evidence of his presence here in the first place.
