"I can't use the Xiao Huohuo identity for now."
Li Qingyuan weighed his options as he traveled.
When he and Huo Zhuo had confronted and fought each other, then left in pursuit and flight, several True Immortal cultivators nearby had been secretly watching.
By rights, a spell cultivator at true immortal early stage perfection targeted by Huo Zhuo, a body cultivator at the true immortal mid stage, was certain to die. Even escaping with severe injuries would have been an enormous stroke of luck.
If "Xiao Huohuo" appeared in the Burning Heaven Ancient Ruins Realm while Huo Zhuo happened to go "missing," someone might well connect the two.
Better one less complication than one more. Switching identities was the safest course.
As he thought, Li Qingyuan began changing his appearance.
The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique circulated, slowly reshaping his bones and muscles as his features changed bit by bit.
The Great Grade Heavenly Immortal Art worked with the Disguise Divine Ability to shift the fluctuations of his Immortal Aperture Wheel from the fire attribute to the blood dao attribute, completely replacing even the presence of his cultivation method.
"I'll create a brand-new identity."
Clad in blood-red robes, he had a slender frame, long legs, and sharply defined features, exceedingly handsome and exceedingly ruthless.
A crimson cinnabar mark between his brows seemed formed from congealed tears of blood, adding a measure of eerie beauty and danger to that overly handsome face.
He became a handsome young blood dao cultivator.
His blood dao presence spilled outward, his slaughter dao presence spreading in all directions. Cold and sharp, it sliced through the air like an invisible blade, making the surrounding temperature plummet.
"Blood Shadow Daoist, practitioner of a blood dao cultivation method. Cultivation: true immortal early stage perfection. Law treasure: Blood Baleful Sword."
