You Must Be Kidding 02

"Master, do you have a solution?"

She really couldn't figure out how Ye Chuan would solve a problem that even she, born with the Lunar Divine Physique and holding the status of the Holy Son, couldn't crack.

"I do have one idea that should be somewhat effective. We might as well give it a try." Ye Chuan finally came up with a relatively suitable plan. "Simply put, I will disguise myself as you and enter the forbidden ground as the Holy Son to retrieve the token."

As soon as the words fell, the joy on Ji Lingxuan's face froze instantly. She frowned and shook her head with a solemn expression.

"Master, I'm afraid that won't work. It's too difficult."

She leaned forward slightly, her snowy peaks pressing lightly against the edge of the table, and explained the reasons.

"The first issue is appearance. Although the Holy Land has many disguise artifacts that can barely imitate my looks, ordinary disguises only copy the form, not the spirit. They certainly can't fool the aura detection of the elders and arrays guarding the perimeter of the forbidden ground."

"The second is the cultivation method. The Absolute Beginning Heavenly Evolution Art is the supreme inherited treasure of our Absolute Beginning Holy Land. Practitioners are surrounded by a unique Absolute Beginning spiritual energy, making their aura highly recognizable."

"Even if you could disguise yourself to look like me, without having cultivated this technique, you would be instantly exposed the moment you approached the forbidden ground's arrays. Not only would you fail to get the token, but you would also alert the sect elders and cause unnecessary trouble."

These two points were the reasons she had never considered using an imposter.

No one in the Heavenly Profound Continent could simultaneously imitate her aura and learn the technique, not even the backup Holy Son candidates.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan merely smiled faintly. His expression remained calm, as if the difficult problem she described was nothing but a trivial matter in his eyes.

"The two points you mentioned aren't problems at all."

His internal Primal Chaos Indestructible Physique was naturally immune to anyone's probing; no one could sense Ye Chuan's true foundation.

As for the cultivation method...

Wasn't that just something you could learn instantly with a single click?

Naturally, he wouldn't tell Ji Lingxuan about the existence of the system. He simply said, "I have my own way of learning cultivation methods. You can test me, and you'll see for yourself."

Seeing Ye Chuan's brimming confidence, the concerns in Ji Lingxuan's heart gradually dissipated a bit.

Thinking of the various inexplicable mysteries surrounding him, she suddenly felt that perhaps Ye Chuan really could achieve this seemingly impossible feat.

After all, someone from the Upper Realm... was highly likely to possess some special methods.

Truly terrifying.

"Alright, I trust you, Master!" Ji Lingxuan hesitated no longer. She raised her hand and took out a lustrous white jade slip from her storage ring. The jade slip was surrounded by dense spiritual energy and felt warm to the touch.

"This is the cultivation jade slip for the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Evolution Art. It contains the complete incantations and cultivation methods. You... you can take a look first."

As the Holy Son, even though Ji Lingxuan couldn't learn this technique herself, she still carried it with her. She just never expected it to be used in this situation.

"Master, roughly how many days will you need to learn this technique?" Ji Lingxuan asked.

For top-tier techniques like this, it generally required physical tempering to absorb the Absolute Beginning spiritual energy. However, since Ye Chuan claimed to have a trick up his sleeve, Ji Lingxuan also wanted to see what special methods he possessed.

"How many days?"

She originally thought that even with special methods, Ye Chuan would need some time to comprehend it. Even if it took a few months, it would still be vastly faster than the years or decades required by ordinary cultivators.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chuan simply reached out, took the jade slip, glanced at it casually, and then tossed it onto the table. Immediately after, his fingertip twitched. An invisible wave of spiritual energy flashed by, and his body was instantly enveloped in a pure, dense Absolute Beginning spiritual energy—

It was completely identical to the unique aura of an Absolute Beginning Heavenly Evolution Art practitioner!

"It... it's done just like that?" Ji Lingxuan was utterly dumbfounded. She stood up abruptly, her face written with disbelief, completely tossing her usual aloof demeanor out the window.

"Master, you... you didn't comprehend it at all? You just took one look and learned it directly?"

How could this be possible?!

Are you kidding me?!

This was simply unheard of!

As the inherited technique of the Absolute Beginning Holy Land, the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Evolution Art was obscure and difficult to understand. Even for exceptionally gifted cultivators, it would take decades just to grasp the basics. To cultivate it to the point of manifesting the aura and bypassing the forbidden ground's arrays required bitter, extensive training.

Yet Ye Chuan had mastered the technique with just a single glance at the jade slip, and he could even channel the unique Absolute Beginning spiritual energy. This completely shattered her understanding; it was nothing short of a miracle!

Looking at Ji Lingxuan's shocked expression, Ye Chuan couldn't help but smile.

"It's alright, it's alright. Let me change my face for you next."

After saying that, Ye Chuan directly cast a disguise spell.

Ye Chuan's face changed at a visible rate. His dark hair gradually became exactly like Ji Lingxuan's, and a high-bound jade crown automatically formed. His facial features, expressions, body contours, and even that aloof yet majestic aura surrounding him were indistinguishable from Ji Lingxuan's.

In a mere instant, two Ji Lingxuans stood there. Without careful inspection, one couldn't tell the slightest difference.

What was even more astonishing was that when Ye Chuan channeled the spiritual energy of the Absolute Beginning Heavenly Evolution Art again, the Absolute Beginning spiritual energy swirling around him made him seem even more like the Holy Son than the Holy Son herself!

Coupled with an appearance and temperament identical to Ji Lingxuan's, even if the elders guarding the forbidden ground came in person, they would absolutely be unable to see through his disguise.

One had to know that even the Holy Son herself couldn't learn this technique, let alone an outsider.

Ye Chuan raised a hand to touch his cheek, mimicking Ji Lingxuan's usual tone. He cleared his throat lightly and smiled at the dumbstruck Ji Lingxuan:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, look, how are the results? Can I pass for the real deal?"

Ji Lingxuan stood frozen in place, unable to recover her wits for a long time.

Her gaze darted back and forth between the two versions of herself, the shock in her eyes gradually turning into admiration and complete conviction.

She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for half a day. Finally, she took a deep breath, her tone full of awe:

"Master, your abilities are truly vast. Such a disguise technique and such speed in comprehending a cultivation method—it is truly unheard of and unseen!"

At this moment, she completely let go of all her concerns.

With Ye Chuan's methods, disguising himself as her to retrieve the token from the forbidden ground would surely go smoothly. There was no need to worry about his identity being exposed, nor about failing to obtain the Absolute Beginning token.

Her position as the Holy Son would naturally be secure.

Seeing this, Ye Chuan withdrew his disguise spell. The Absolute Beginning spiritual energy around him dissipated, and he reverted to his original appearance:

"Alright, since there's no problem, let's get ready as quickly as possible. The sooner we get the token, the better, to avoid any unexpected complications."

"By the way, you can tell me about the situation inside the forbidden ground so I can be more precise when grabbing the item."

"Okay! I will explain it to you in detail right now, Master!" Ji Lingxuan nodded hastily, walked quickly to Ye Chuan's side, and began to thoroughly explain the matters concerning the forbidden ground.
