But Long quickly turned alert. The creature that suddenly appeared made his back hair stand; he had never seen anything like this before.Vesa's presence also made him feel suffocated. Mo quickly moved, reappearing in front of Long.
"Time to move," Vesa said with a grin, showing her canines. Her fingers glowed green, followed by many runes appearing around the area.
The ground started to vibrate, followed by a huge energy explosion. The building collapsed on itself, leaving behind only huge smoke and debris.
Long People quickly moved, flying toward the area. Screams and panic reverberated as they quickly wanted to leave. They were not afraid of the assailant. They escaped because they were afraid the clan behind these young masters would hold them responsible.
Just like MingYue, the cultivator was not stupid; it was easy to deduce whoever was behind the scene.
Back at the inn, MingYue's lips curved into a smile, "Let's go, Aunt."
"Where? Isn't the portal already destroyed?" Emily asked.
"We will go through another checkpoint. I believe soon the city will be locked down."
But unfortunately, it was too late. After MingYue said this, a huge qi pressure spread all around the city.
"Everyone, I am Ming Tian, the mayor of this city. Please calm down first. I understand your worry, but don't underestimate the immortals.
No matter where you live, they have a way to track you down. At that time, can you save yourself?
Isn't it better to let me verify you are not related to this situation? In that case, your innocence will be guaranteed by me."
The majestic voice could be heard all over the city. It was like the mayor was talking right beside them in a calm tone, giving them a sense of peace.
"Seems things won't be that easy, MingYue," Luca said while she furrowed her eyebrows together. The energy she felt made her feel alarmed.
"A heavenly ascension cultivator," MingYue mumbled. She then asked Vesa in her mind, 'Vesa, is it possible to use qi and secret techniques to hide from your detection?'
'Based on what I know, this should be impossible, Queen. Except there is a secret technique that utilizes a tier 1 energy like life force, but I doubt this is the case.'

'Yes, Queen. There are many energies used for different types of power systems depending on their species.
Some use the same one but label it with different names, while others are completely different, for example, qi and mana. So my old master decided to create a tier classifying these energy types.'
MingYue didn't feel interested in the technical terms; she just got to the point. 'So you are saying it should be impossible for anything made by qi and mana to hide from sensory techniques utilizing life force?'
'Yes, Queen.'
"Can you beat him?" Luca asked.
"I am not sure, but holding him down should be no problem. For now, let's see what they plan to do. By the way, Mom, Emily, both of you should wear this," she said while taking out two bracelets.
It was a disguising amulet to change her appearance. Even though she often told Alex her world was different from a novel, she couldn't deny that women have a lot more problems in her world compared to Alex.
A beautiful appearance without a good background will easily guarantee a life of tragedy. They will attract attention from people they cannot fight back against and end up being taken as maids or even slaves to rich merchants. Only the lucky ones become a concubine.
Meanwhile, back with Alex, he was now in the underground training facility, fighting with Reina. S~eaʀᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
He only used one hand to parry all her coming attacks, "You should practice your qi movement more, Reina. When you attack like this, it's unnecessary to use your qi on your entire body.
Focus only on those that you use, for example, shoulder, waist, and foot. You have too many useless motions."
"Motions? Will that make my technique better?"
"Of course. This is the problem for races born with innate strength. You can already achieve most things without polishing the movement, so you skip the whole process.
Raising your realm does give you better efficiency and makes you stronger, but when you are stuck, it's better to use the time to polish your movement.
Look, as you see, I am born as a pure human. Most of us don't have that innate strength.
This is why we are looking for ways to make the movement more effective. You know, if you do it the right way, it's even possible to exert more damage from the amount of strength you used."
Alex then showed it to Reina. He did the same attack with the same amount of qi but different motions. One was done imperfectly, while for the other one, he made sure to use the perfect movement followed by the qi flowing in the same way.
The result was very apparent, making Reina's eyes widen. She felt like her world had just been expanded, making her realize how much potential she had.
"See?"
"Thank you for the guidance, Sir Alex. I have been stuck in this spiritual transformation realm for years now. At the very least, with this, I will become stronger."
"What is blocking your advancement?"
"I lack the material. The next realm is the mystic integration stage. For normal cultivators, they need to balance all the power they have and then integrate it into one.
Normally, this can be done without using any external item, but for awakened cultivators like me, it's not that simple.
If our species trait is too strong, we will need to seek out some treasure to boost our qi, or worse, to weaken our trait just to balance everything out."
"Is this integration different from how people become awakened? Don't you already fuse everything into your core, giving your bloodline trait into your qi?"
"That one is different. The qi is still produced in the same way; we just then fuse it with our trait. What we want to break through is to fuse everything at the fundamental level."
"Everything? Does this include your soul and inner world?"
