YM778.TV Chapter 228 5th Tier Technique
"There! The Jin Dynasty, happy? You can leave me alone now."
Emily was very anxious that Leonardo might follow her around, especially into the heart of her designated fiefdom and military territory when she was supposed to have been in secluded cultivation.
The Jin Dynasty advocated military might and thus, the exterior borders weren\'t populated by standard cities but by military fiefdoms that regularly wage secular warfare against one another. It could be said that every noble house had one or two great generals in the arts of war in their midst.
"Why are you so anxious?" Leonardo gave her a leveled glance, his pitch-black eyes with the swirling white triangles were ever so tranquil.
"You had an affair with the Holy Maiden of the Interstellar Supreme Court and eloped together, this news was fanned across the entire dynasty; you tell me if sticking by your side would do any good than bad in this place," Emily responded, exasperated.
This was Leonardo\'s first time hearing the excuse the Imperial Family used to hunt both him and Nier down, he was baffled by their shamelessness. Of course, it was also reported that he was colluding with Memento Mori, though he could understand why they concealed the fact of his involvement in their roster.
Leonardo rolled his eyes. "Why else would I be stuck here with you? Don\'t tell me you people from the Black Market don\'t have any techniques to change your appearance."
Emily\'s brows creased together. "It\'s not that easy to change your appearance and aura, even with our techniques."
"So what?" Leonardo faced far into the Jin Dynasty, arms crossed to his chest. "With my current power, as long as I wish to hide my cultivation, not even a Tier-9 cultivator can see through it."
"What shameless boasting—…" Emily instinctively rebutted, but her expression quickly stiffened when Leonardo\'s aura faded from her perception.
She spread her spiritual sense like a tide, causing the clouds in the sky to part like curtains while the wind howled furiously, but she couldn\'t detect anything from Leonardo. A mysterious power entrenched deep into his energy, essence, and spirit.
She was about to say that being perfectly concealed from the perception of someone powerful might as well be a bad thing in and of itself, but she quickly swallowed her words as the vitality of a normal person began to pulse through Leonardo\'s body.
It was the vitality of a level 40 moral no mistake.
Using the desolate martial intent in tandem with the bloodthirsty martial intent, it was very easy for Leonardo to mimic the pressure of a peak Tier-1 cultivator, especially since the difference between Tier-1 and Tier-2 lay in the latter\'s ability to harness spiritual energy outside their bodies.
"What do you think?" Leonardo had a faint smile as his vitality fluctuated and eventually stabilized in the current realm. If he wasn\'t standing at the peak of a mountain in the uncharted wilderness, no one would take him for a powerful rebirth realm cultivator.
The only person who could come even close to Leonardo\'s art of concealment is Pandora.
Emily remained silent for a while before she snorted and tossed a black chip over, faint spiritual fluctuations pulsing on the small runic inscriptions.
Leonardo inspected it and was a little surprised; this was a 5th tier appearance-changing technique.
Emily snorted and said, "Do you think any masquerading technique will work on those who went through their rebirth? Here I was starting to think you\'re smart or something."
Emily knew that this wasn\'t a matter of intelligence but rather perspective-wise common sense, as Leonardo\'s mindset had yet to follow up with the advancement of his realm.
Thinking about it, without proper guidance, he might easily expose himself as the traditions and customs of the Jin Dynasty were quite \'unique\'.
Glancing over at Leonardo who shrugged with a helpless expression as the threads of law began to leak from his star core and into his flesh, following the 5th tier technique, Emily\'s brows creased in contemplation.
In a few minutes, Leonardo\'s skin began to twitch like the ebb and flow of sea tides, his fair white skin adopting a faint bronze complexion while the darkest of black slowly bled into his long white hair.
He closed his eyes and whence he opened them again, they were a pair of clear honey-brown irises situated in an innocent sparkle of white.
The threads of laws quickly retreated into Leonardo\'s star core— more accurately his black heart that was slowly transforming into an ordinary red mass of flesh. This masquerading technique was quite thorough.
Leonardo presumed that it had an extra chapter revolving around utilizing threads of law to alter someone\'s aura, allowing him to assume that the current Emily wasn\'t the real one.
To get through her disguise, he would have to comprehend and decode her origin law; the foundation, or her star core. No one in their sane mind would expose the origin law to another person, leaving the option of brute force.
However, can he really brute force his way into her sub-dimension to fetch the star core? If things reached such extremes, her masquerading technique wouldn\'t even matter anymore.
Not to mention that when fighting broke out, no technique would be able to conceal the nature of her techniques and aura.
While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Emily opened her mouth and said, "It\'s forbidden to share the chapter related to changing the aura. However, since you have your own methods, I can be at ease taking you to my territory and teaching you the common sense and traditions of this dynasty."
Leonardo\'s head whipped over in surprise. Nonetheless, she shook his head. "I came here in a rush to find my \'abducted\' Holy Maiden of the Interstellar Supreme Court, they should be stranded somewhere in the Jin Dynasty\'s uncharted wilderness."
Emily rolled her eyes. "We know that much, we\'ve been concealing their tracks from the Jin Dynasty for the past few years ever since Memento Mori declared open hostility with the Jin Dynasty for your sake."
Leonardo blinked.
