The night was deep, the moon hanging high in the sky.
Chen Ping'an, clad in a black robe, streaked through the vast sky as dim glimmers flowed around him.
A Celestial could travel through the air, but if they wished to conceal their presence, their evasion speed would be greatly reduced, falling far short of its peak.
To go all out while still concealing the fluctuations of one's presence required some profound secret art or a treasure scroll of evasion light. Such a thing was absolutely impossible otherwise.
In biographies and novels, Children of Destiny would sweep through the sky unseen, able to fight at full strength while moving at astonishing speed. Such situations scarcely existed in reality.
If one wished to conceal fluctuations, one inevitably had to limit one's evasion speed. If one imposed no limits and went all out, there would inevitably be no spare strength left to conceal those fluctuations.
Weighing the two sides and choosing the best balance was the choice most cultivators faced in real circumstances.
Cultivation granted extraordinary power, but it was not without limits. Under the constraints of countless factors, choices still had to be made.
For Chen Ping'an now, concealing himself beneath an alternate identity while also hiding his fluctuations naturally made things even more difficult.
Though he cultivated movement techniques for evasion speed, the Grand Void Wind Riding Step had achieved little in the path of concealing evasion light. Under such concealment, his speed was considerably inferior to his peak.
Still, though it was not as good as his peak, it was unknown how much faster than Pseudo Celestials it remained.
In real battles and pursuits, schemes and calculations between both sides often came into play. One might fly at full speed with evasion light, then, after widening the distance, carefully
