Chapter 1218: Imminent
"As expected of a Reincarnation Palace mask of the highest caliber, even I can't tell you apart from myself," Chang Qi praised.
"Brilliant! I'm sure this disguise will be convincing enough to fool even the elders of our sect!" Zhou Xianyang exclaimed in an exultant manner.
"Fellow Daoist Chang, I'm going to need you to tell me about the characteristics of your cultivation arts," Han Li said.
Han Li was already very well-versed in posing as others from past experience, so he was already beginning to mimic Chang Qi's expressions and mannerisms. This made his disguise even more convincing, much to the delight of Zhou Xianyang and Chang Qi.
"I'll leave you two to chat here, I'll go gather some information on the other cultivators taking part in the selection event," Zhou Xianyang said before departing, leaving Han Li and Chang Qi on their own in the secret chamber.

A month flew by in a flash.
This morning, almost the entire population of Nine Origins City had gathered at the foot of Nine Origins Mountain, leaving the rest of the city virtually completely deserted.
The selection event for the Bodhi Banquet was set to commence on Nine Origins Mountain on this day, and Han Li had already adopted his disguise as Chang Qi and arrived with Zhou Xianyang and several Prominent Mountain Sect elders.
Even though Chang Qi was always traveling outside the sect, there were still a few acquaintances of his among the elders of the sect who approached him to strike up conversations, but Han Li was able to navigate these conversations in a confident and appropriate manner, with no one suspecting anything amiss.
The group arrived at the foot of Nine Origins Mountain, where they were greeted by the sight of a giant mountain range in the distance.
