An Jing said this without the slightest hesitation. This is the terrifying aspect of a martial artist who can shift their identity and slip into a different world at any moment, unburdened by the weaknesses of parents or kin. If he is willing to abide by the rules, all is well; if he is not, then unless one possesses force superior to his, there is nothing that can restrain him.
Still, as the saying goes: if you are going to act, you must play the part to the end. In a certain sense, An Jing is a decent person, and he had no desire for things to devolve to that point. After all, having a legitimate identity allows him to purchase various supplies and spiritual items through official channels. It also makes it easier for him to slip through the cracks, evade the pursuit of Dachen and the Demon Cult, and return to Hanhai in broad daylight to search for his mother.
In truth, the reason An Jing wants to buy spiritual items to break through to "Inner Breath - Tidal Surge" as soon as possible is also to save time, so he can return to the north of Hanhai to find his family with the greatest possible strength.
