A pensive look immediately appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
Fairly speaking, such a situation was not exactly rare in the cultivation world.
But for it to happen to a Tribulation Transcendence old monster was astonishing.
As everyone knew, cultivating an incarnation had numerous benefits, enough to make any cultivator with even slightly higher cultivation flock to it like ducks.
