Ling Xiao wanted to temporarily use a disguise to hide his identity and avoid overt and covert attacks from certain powerful enemies.
As for how long his true identity could be hidden, he would keep it under wraps for as long as possible.
This gave him some buffer time and could also allow his cultivation level to continue to rise, helping him avoid many dangers.

The love of beauty is in everyone, even Xiao Hong Yue is no exception.
The new face he changed to was a standard common face.
Neither ugly nor handsome, absolutely unnoticeable in a crowd.
His aura was also equally ordinary, with no distinguishing features.
This way, it was obviously easier to hide.
"It doesn’t matter if it’s plain. Unless you saw me changing faces with your own eyes, could you tell it was me?"
Ling Xiao asked with a smile.
"I couldn’t tell, not only has the face changed, but the voice, body, and aura have also changed, it’s practically another person. If there were changes in martial arts as well, then probably no one would recognize you."
Xiao Hong Yue said earnestly.
"Then that’s good. You have the Red Moon Eye, although it’s not as good as my Tai Chi Eye, it can still discern many things. If even you can’t see through my disguise, it means I’ve succeeded."
Ling Xiao finally felt relieved.
He believed that on his way to Tianhai City, there would definitely be experts from the Sky Demon Sect, Water Temple, and even the royal family waiting for him.
Now he didn’t want to waste energy on these pointless battles; he had more important things to do.
That is the final selection of the White Tiger Summit.
To put it bluntly, this final selection is a reshuffle. Except for the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, the previous candidate martial artists were completely eliminated.
But no one dared to question this practice of the Tianhai Empire because the strength of the Tianhai Empire’s royal family was truly too formidable.
In Tianhai City, next to the Imperial Palace, is a huge arena.
On regular days, this is where martial artists compete in force, not only to earn rewards but also to spar in martial arts.
But today, the atmosphere here seemed somewhat different.
The stands around the arena were densely packed with a large audience, many of whom were young people.
And standing in the arena, ready to battle, was a group of young genius martial artists.
The oldest among them would not be over thirty years old.
These people are young geniuses from the Tianhai Empire and its subsidiary countries.
They gathered here to participate in the White Tiger Summit’s selection tournament.
Besides the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea, eleven others would become the lucky ones to head to the neutral ground of the White Tiger Continent, the "Land of Ten Thousand Thunder," to attend the White Tiger Summit.
After continuous discussions and various changes over so many days.
The White Tiger Summit set a final resolution of ten martial artists from each of the Four Great Empires and fifteen from the Zhengyi Sect.
However, as Dragon and Phoenix Continent’s special invitee to the White Tiger Summit, they would particularly have five quotas.
This was the resolution of the Four Great Empires and the Zhengyi Sect, but the resolution seemed to have changed upon reaching the Tianhai Empire.
The Tianhai Empire’s resolution was "The Tianhai Empire and the Dragon and Phoenix Continent would jointly send fifteen martial artists to participate in the White Tiger Summit, with the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea taking four of those spots."
The reason for doing this is very simple.
In the view of the Tianhai Empire’s royal family, the martial artists of Dragon and Phoenix Continent might eventually only have one or two who could stand out, giving them five spots would be an utter waste, better to send the outstanding martial artists of the Tianhai Empire to compete.
This was considered a breach of the rules in essence.
But the other three Great Empires and the Zhengyi Sect remained silent.
After all, no matter how you say it, the former Phoenix God Empire was once a subsidiary country of the Tianhai Empire.
They could distribute those five spots however they wished, there was nothing inappropriate about it.
Only the martial artists of the Dragon and Phoenix Continent were unfortunate, their rightful quotas were directly stripped away.
But it doesn’t matter, since their strength wasn’t enough anyway?
Of course, such thoughts only circulated among the Four Great Empires and the Zhengyi Sect before the final selection began.
What would happen after the final selection ends is unknown.
In addition, this Land of Ten Thousand Thunder requires special mention.
The Land of Ten Thousand Thunder is perpetually covered by terrifying thunder and lightning, making it impossible for people to enter.
Every ten years, a gap opens in the Land of Ten Thousand Thunder, allowing martial artists entry.
What’s interesting is that this gap only permits martial artists under thirty years old, and if anyone over that age forcibly enters, they are killed instantly.
According to martial artists who entered the Land of Ten Thousand Thunder, it is littered with wealth; spirit stones are underfoot everywhere.
And it contains many unimaginable ancient relics.
If you have the opportunity, you can gain incredibly great benefits from it.
The Four Great Empires and the Zhengyi Sect have built a "Surprise Thunder City" outside the Land of Ten Thousand Thunder.
The city is not large; the main purpose is to study the Land of Ten Thousand Thunder and prepare for the White Tiger Summit, held once every ten years.
This city belongs to the Zhengyi Sect, but each of the Four Great Empires has its own office there.
The specific arrangements for this White Tiger Summit remain unclear to the young martial artists.
But it is believed that the biggest anticipation for the young martial artists traveling to Surprise Thunder City is the opportunity to enter the Land of Ten Thousand Thunder.
Ling Xiao was no exception.
On the stands, many young martial artists were eager to try.
According to the Tianhai Empire royal family, the final selection rules were simple: anyone with a cultivation level of Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level or higher could go on stage to challenge.
There were a total of eleven arena masters, and whoever held their ground last would obtain a final spot.
The arena was divided into eleven platforms, each independently.
The arena masters had privileges and could recuperate before accepting another challenge, but this time couldn’t exceed one shichen.
This was also for fairness.
After all, the competition was about strength; a battle of attrition wouldn’t be worthwhile.
There were martial artists on the stands eager to join the challenge, as well as martial artists who were just there to enjoy the spectacle.
After all, this battle was the last selection, and the final fifteen would be directly decided here without further changes.
Although things had been constantly changing before, causing some dissatisfaction among martial artists.
But it was understandable, after all, some martial artists had mysteriously disappeared, and some were killed.
While some young martial artists who weren’t previously selected had achieved significant breakthroughs.
Since they were to attend the White Tiger Summit, they naturally had to choose the best talents.
They couldn’t let mediocre ones take up spots.
"Today marks the beginning of the final selection for the White Tiger Summit. The rules are very simple, requiring a cultivation level of Yin-Yang Realm Seventh Level or above to challenge the arena master. The last eleven arena masters will obtain the final qualification."
The person appearing on the arena’s podium was unexpectedly the Tianhai Empire’s Prince Wu and Prince Ethan Yun.
The one speaking was Prince Wu.
His eyes occasionally scanned the audience below, seemingly searching for someone, but unfortunately, he was unable to find them.
"Now the eleven platforms are empty, who wishes to become the first wave of arena masters?"
