After leaving this buff-filled street, Li Xingkong felt his sense of security had increased significantly. With these numerous buffs, he thought his trip to Flying Cloud Pass would be much safer.
"The buffs are almost applied, but this is all that's left."
Following closely behind Liu Shinian, Li Xingkong saw Liu Shinian toss a small object to him.
I took it in my hand; it was a button-shaped thing.
" The Time-Transcending Pearl is used for registration. If you're ever forced into a desperate situation, crushing it will allow you to return to the era you came from."
"We can Traversal time and space with our own abilities, can't we?"
Li Xingkong looked at the beads in his hand; they were unremarkable.
"It's fine at the base, but on the battlefield, time and space are often blocked. Unless you have a concept of time and space yourself, you'll be trapped like a turtle in a jar, unable to escape even if you want to."
Liu Shinian waved his hand.
"These beads are treasures on this battlefield. I don't have many, so I'll use them sparingly."
"How can I accept such a valuable item? Please take it back."
This kind of life-saving item is definitely very precious, and Li Xingkong dares not accept it.
"Take it, I'm not giving it to you for nothing."
Liu Shinian turned around and smiled.
"It's obvious at a glance that you're definitely not a War Immortal. You're probably some kind of scholar. I wonder why you came to this Era of Chaos. But once you leave this Era of Chaos, your identity will be much more advantageous than mine."
"When we emerge from the Era of Chaos, we might still need your help."
Li Xingkong scratched his head.
"How did you figure that out?"
He asked himself, "Back in the Primordial Universe, I caused quite a stir. How could I not be considered a top-tier warrior immortal?"
"There's no determination in your eyes, no fighting spirit like a warrior's; all I see is a thirst for knowledge."
"Since the beginning of his cultivation, Zhan Xian has walked a tightrope between life and death. Without fighting spirit and killing intent, how could he have reached this point? Moreover, in combat and adventure, the most taboo thing is to explore the unknown, because you have no idea what might be inside that could take your life."
"This is a habit formed from the beginning of cultivation; even if you become an immortal, it's very difficult to change."
Liu Shinian chuckled lightly. Her chivalrous spirit had been honed over countless years, and she had seen countless people, so she could tell them apart at a glance.
"Uh, it seems that's true."
Li Xingkong used his Divine Sense to observe himself, and then compared himself with Liu Shinian.
His demeanor was completely different from Liu Shinian's. When the two stood together, they looked like a scholar and a knight-errant, easily distinguishable at a glance.
Li Xingkong hadn't paid attention to this before, but now that he was going to the battlefield, it was best to disguise himself.
Li Xingkong only did a brief deduction, and then his entire demeanor immediately changed.
He merely made minor adjustments to his movements and facial expressions based on Liu Shinian's style, and he managed to imitate her temperament to a great extent.
"Tch, what a clever student."
When Liu Shinian turned around again, she noticed Li Xingkong's change. Although she complained, she secretly channeled a wisp of immortal energy into Li Xingkong.
She was in charge of integrity, and this concept, when applied to Li Xingkong, made his transformed demeanor even more refined.
It was originally just a simulation, but now, even Li Xingkong himself thinks that he was originally like this.
Because he embodies the concept of integrity, no one will suspect him of faking it.
"Uh... Fellow Daoist Liu, is your company truly trustworthy?"
Li Xingkong was starting to have doubts. Could this thing really be used like this?
"How could it not be? Integrity is our company's principle, and we can use it however we want."
Liu Shinian seemed a little flustered, but then he straightened up.
"What I want from the company isn't integrity; how can I befriend so many old fogies?"
"Alright, alright, we're almost ready, let's head to the meeting point."
Seemingly not wanting to waste time on this topic, Liu Shinian quickly changed the subject.
Li Xingkong had no intention of investigating further.
Regardless of what she's in charge of, her own protective aura is undeniable, and she's definitely on Li Xingkong's side.
Moreover, Li Xingkong himself had secrets; he had never mentioned the matter of time Traversal to Liu Shinian.
Everyone has secrets; there's no need to ask about them when you have the time.
Following the mission's guidance, the two arrived at the edge of the base.
Li Xingkong could already see the same demon-revealing mirror he had walked through on his way here. He was just two more steps away from the outside of the camp.
There were already quite a few immortals waiting at the meeting point. When they saw Li Xingkong and his companion arrive, they merely glanced at them, nodded in greeting, and then went about their own business.
Even among immortals, there are small groups.
Especially in this Era of Chaos, each small group is forged through numerous life-and-death trials, making it extremely difficult for a newcomer to join.
"I'm saying, don't we have any other teammates?"
Looking around at the immortals, who were scattered in small groups, Li Xingkong realized that he and Liu Shinian were the only two standing there, making him feel rather lonely.
"I'm socially awkward, I don't know them."
Liu Shinian shook his head, looking like a withdrawn teenager.
Li Xingkong.
"You? Socially awkward? More like a social terrorist!"
Who pulled him out of the Exquisite Pagoda, and who led him all the way?
Is this a time to feign social anxiety?
"Mind your own business when it comes to women's affairs."
Liu Shinian rolled his eyes at Li Xingkong.
Alright, Li Xingkong won't ask anymore.
Two people are fine, it's better than being alone.
"By the way, if one perishes in this Era of Chaos, their true spirit will be kicked out and then reborn in their own era."
As they waited for the departure time to arrive, Liu Shinian suddenly thought of something and said to Li Xingkong.
"I know that, why bring it up?"
Li Xingkong's true spirit is still backed up inside the Dipankara Pagoda, a fact he is naturally aware of. Even if he were to die, he could still be resurrected in his own era by borrowing the power of the Dipankara Pagoda.
"There was this idiot before; we were teammates."
Liu Shinian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Xingkong knew these things.
"That mission resulted in heavy losses, and the captain chose to cover the rear alone so that we could retreat."
"That idiot really thought he was dead, so he sacrificed his own spirit and charged back. His concept was 'unstoppable,' and we couldn't stop him even if we tried."
"Then what?"
Li Xingkong asked.
"I'm just trying to be helpful, don't you dare offend me! Good thing you know that, get lost, I'm not a storyteller."
Liu Shinian's eyebrows shot up as he retorted.
"Don't be so fierce, I know, I know."
Li Xingkong shrank back; this woman was fickle, as were the female immortals.
