Chapter 697: Chapter 72: The Giant Catfish of the Deathly Still World (6100)_2

Although understanding that the best way to hide a person is to bury them within a huge pile of junk information, An Jing couldn’t help but say that these were just too idiotic.

However, since there were idiotic ones, naturally there were also the serious ones.

Xuanye City’s ’Xuanye Daily’ did it very formally; they even invited an acquaintance of An Jing, who was also the owner of ’Lucky Road Travels’ whom he met for the first time when he arrived at the Black Market and received advice on drones.

This Mr. Xie, as An Jing had guessed, was indeed a member of a cultivator family in Xuanye City. He said with a straight face that he recognized An Jing as a true genius the first time he met him; they had discussed drones and various weapons and equipment in detail. Despite his youth, An Jing exhibited extreme proficiency, simply a born warrior.

After that, the Xuanye Daily even released a video from Mrs. Guang’s perspective of An Jing descending from the sky and bursting the missile launch site with a single strike — this video went viral on the Spiritual Network, setting off a storm of comments. Some questioned the authenticity of the video, but more people were in awe, shouting their admiration, calling it genuine genius cultivator material, completely stunned by An Jing’s move.

It was precisely because the video had spread on the Spiritual Network that all those weird hypotheses and fabricated histories had appeared.

Even under the official push of Xuanye City, the many videos under ’An Xuan’ have started to see officially managed comments — if things go as expected, according to what Chairman Chen and Principal He said, this is Xuanye City officially building momentum for An Jing. He is nearly confirmed as a contestant for the Four Cities Competition, of course, he must have enough ’notoriety’.

This was yet before An Jing’s enlightenment; now, showing impact nearly akin to ’Immortal Spirit Root Enlightenment’, the entire Third Middle School and passing cultivators have benefited from the aftershock of his enlightenment. It’s imaginable, after today the streets and alleys, various self-media, will be filled with even more exaggerated rumors, and his fame will explode upwards to an extent that even An Jing himself cannot imagine.

"Next, you’re the one who’s going to be asked for autographs everywhere on the street!"

Nian Quan has been teased as the ’school idol’ by An Jing and Huo Qing recently, even playfully asking for a few autographs. Now he’s got his payback with a clear and refreshing laugh: "With you here, my fame is far too small!"

However, Huo Qing had mixed feelings about it — although he is not bothered, An Jing knew that among those messy media guesses, ’An Xuan’ was also speculated to be linked with the Guiyi Army.

Although An Jing wasn’t part of it, the Steel Skeleton was! If someone really investigated along this line, they might indeed find some clues.

In summary, revolving around An Jing, all kinds of fabricated and pseudo-histories have emerged. From this perspective, An Jing has undoubtedly become notorious.

Now, even if he just walks on the street, he would attract countless gazes and turn heads.

Although he can use the Seven Fiend Tribulation’s various Spirit Qi transforms to hide his true identity, it feels a bit too wasteful to expose his abilities just for something trivial like this.

"...I have made a decision."

Thus, after a period of silence, An Jing made up his mind and declared, "Brothers, I shall go into seclusion for cultivation and reflect on the gains from this enlightenment!"

"For the next few months... no, half a year. No, unless necessary, I won’t go out at all until the Four Cities Competition!"

"Eh? Really?"

Seeing the surprised expressions of Huo Qing and Nian Quan, An Jing also couldn’t help but laugh.

This was not a sudden impulse but an idea he had had during his period of enlightenment.

--The gains this time were too significant, and the situation in Tianyuan Realm was changing too swiftly. His foundation in this world was indeed not stable, and he couldn’t always stay in this realm.

Two months was not a long time; he would have to return to Huai Xu Realm after a while, he needed to make his way back to Bright Mirror Sect through Dust Li, and once there, the Bright Mirror Sect will have a lot of things that require his time. By then, his time in the Tianyuan Realm would be even less.

Instead of becoming a master of time management in a flurry, it’s better to announce from the start that he will hide away and no longer make public appearances — which is probably what Xuanye City wants him to do.

Either he becomes the public face of the group, constantly appearing, or he stays out of sight as a mysterious trump card, drawing even more ’attention’.

Of course, there’s another important point.

--Hmm, even the Heavenly Dao needs causation to arrange a tribulation... As long as I stay indoors, not venturing out, even if the Heavenly Dao in the Tianyuan Realm wants to set me up for tribulation, it has to wait and cultivate one!

Staying at home definitely involves fewer incidents than venturing outside, not to mention that now An Jing, even without going out, can still exert some influence on the outside world.

Not to mention the Steel Skeleton and Qu Tong, who are still in the Immortal Ancient Ruins, could be considered as An Jing’s ’private soldiers.’ If An Jing really plans to do something, such as communicating with the people from the Ganyuan Sea, they would be excellent assistants.

And just as An Jing was planning to go into complete seclusion and avoid the overly enthusiastic public storm...

Outside, just as he had speculated, the aftershock of An Jing’s enlightenment stirred up another wave of news and gossip about him — not just among the public.

Even the upper echelons of Xuanye City and other conglomerates, as well as moles hidden within those organizations, did the same.
