Lu Xin was rejected from the Spirit Realm, and whether it was his imagination or not, he faintly sensed a surge of anger. However, before he could think too much about it, the guiding divine light descended once more.
This time, he still broke free, not intending to let it take him to the Upper Realm. Instead, he planned to follow Zi Wan's remembered route and sneak up there.
The reason he did this was because he feared that he might inadvertently offend someone in the Upper Realm. If they couldn't find him, they might come to the Spirit Realm and destroy his friends and family.
There was a precedent for this, and it could be said that the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother's extremism was mostly due to this.
Therefore, he didn't want the people of the Upper Realm to know his origins.
This was also the reason he set the five-thousand-year agreement with the two women, Ji Yue.
However, sneaking across was not easy. He was now afraid that the guiding envoy would once again discover something amiss and then use the World-Inspecting Treasure Mirror to see him.
Or that the terrifying being who had deduced and calculated his existence would discover his whereabouts.
Therefore, his current sneak crossing was a big gamble.
If he was caught, he could only quibble that he had accidentally fallen out of the guiding divine light, or reveal his Human Immortal body and pretend to be an adventurer.
"No, I need to be faster and get further away from the Spirit Realm."
Looking at the shrinking planet beneath his feet, Lu Xin took one last look and went all out, braving the Nine Heavens Astral Winds, heading towards the depths of the void.
At this time, on the receiving platform of the Holy Spirit Immortal Domain, an Earth Immortal elder who was meditating suddenly felt a disturbance. He opened his eyes and, across an unknown distance, cast his gaze towards that receiving platform.
Seeing that it was still Platform Number Forty-Seven, and that no one had been received, he sighed helplessly and closed his eyes again.
… …
The void was vast and boundless, and there was no reference to time. Lu Xin could only count on his own. In the blink of an eye, five years passed.
During this time, he hardly rested. When his magic power was about to be exhausted, he absorbed spirit crystals. When his physical body felt tired, he would find a desolate, lifeless planet to rest on.
Although he often felt lost and helpless, he had a different kind of feeling, which was that even though he had now cultivated to the realm of an immortal, he was still very insignificant to the vast void.
He still had to work hard.
Of course, this was just a feeling of his state of mind. During this time, he had also seen many novel sights.
"It's only because I have reached the Human Immortal realm with my physical body and have so many low-grade spirit crystals to help me, otherwise, wanting to sneak across would be simply wishful thinking."
On a desolate planet, Lu Xin walked around with his hands behind his back, looking around with great interest.
This planet was not big. His divine sense could completely cover it. He didn't find water, nor did he find any living things. Moreover, there wasn't much gravity, making him feel light on his feet.
"And there's my memory, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find your way around."
Beside him, Zi Wan followed him.
Lu Xin smiled noncommittally. During this time, he had indeed been too lonely, so he had summoned her to talk to him.
Strangely, he used to cultivate in seclusion for longer than this, but he had never had this feeling.
He thought it was because he was drifting in the void, with no place to settle down.
In addition to her, Hua Nu would also be taken out by him from time to time. He had already asked Xu Shenmeng about it. The Painting of Ladies was found by his father, Phantom Dragon, in a secret realm at the bottom of the sea. She didn't know its specific origin.
Lu Xin had no choice but to give up further investigation.
"Will you let me leave?" Walking on the desolate rocks, Zi Wan suddenly asked again.
Lu Xin casually replied, "Yes, but not in the short term."
"That's good." Zi Wan stopped talking when she heard this and quietly followed beside him.
Soon, Lu Xin finished wandering around this desolate planet, and then, without stopping, put Zi Wan away and left.
According to his calculations, another seven years passed in the blink of an eye.
Following the route that the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother had taken, Lu Xin finally arrived at a starfield where living beings existed. This was not an immortal domain, but a lower realm, only separated from the immortal domain by a Boundless Sea.
The Boundless Sea was filled with astral winds, and the power of this astral wind was at least two levels stronger than the Nine Heavens Astral Winds in the void.
In other words, without defense, even an Earth Immortal body could not withstand it.
Even Celestial Immortals couldn't take it lightly.
Fortunately, he had the Acquired Treasure, the Netherworld Ghost Seal. With his current level of magic power, he should be able to defend against that astral wind without any problems.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to test it first. If it really didn't work, he could only randomly find a lower realm and attract the guiding divine light.
Arriving at the edge of the Boundless Sea, he summoned the Netherworld Ghost Seal. With the input of magic power, a black light quickly emitted, enveloping him.
Then, he tried to extend the light shield into the Boundless Sea to see if the level of defense he activated could withstand it.
Soon, there was a result. The answer was naturally affirmative.
However, Lu Xin was not in a hurry. He waited for a long time, and after finally confirming it, he held the spirit crystals and headed towards the Boundless Sea.
Whoosh!
As soon as he stepped in, Lu Xin heard the whistling wind, like ghosts crying and wolves howling. He quickly concentrated his mind, because according to Zi Wan's memory, this astral wind, in addition to scraping people's flesh, could also confuse people's minds.
Even if a Celestial Immortal came in, if they were not careful, their true spirit consciousness would be blown away, turning them into a foolish body, and finally, without defense, they would be scraped into powder.
Lu Xin was naturally very vigilant, proceeding carefully.
Concentrating his attention, he walked for nearly three years.
"If the Yellow Spring Ghost Mother hadn't walked through it once, I estimate that even if I could get through it, it would take an unknown amount of time."
Arriving at the edge of the Boundless Sea, Lu Xin breathed a sigh of relief. If he took another step, he would be able to reach the Immortal Domain.
Without being reckless, he calmed down and carefully probed outwards. After not detecting any aura, he emerged.
Soon, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Because he saw huge stars, colorful, with wisps of clouds floating between these stars, making it difficult to distinguish whether it was the starry sky or the sea of clouds.
There was also light in the air, of unknown origin.
In short, it was a wonderful place.
"Is this the Immortal Domain?"
With each breath, Lu Xin could feel a strange spiritual power, which should be the power of immortal spirit. At the same time, the system's prompt sounded continuously in his mind.
He concentrated his attention and saw that the change was passively generated by breathing. Without looking closely, he quickly put away the Netherworld Ghost Seal and landed towards the nearest planet.
According to Zi Wan's memory, this belonged to the Holy Spirit Immortal Domain, which was also the closest immortal domain to the Spirit Realm. If he was guided, he would be directly teleported here.
The Holy Spirit Immortal Domain was one of the 1,600 small domains under the Northern Black Tortoise Immortal Domain. The largest force was the Holy Spirit Palace, under the command of the Northern Black Tortoise Great Emperor.
Of course, he only knew this much. The specific situation remained to be inquired about.
Passing through layers of clouds, he did not encounter obstacles like the Nine Heavens Barrier, and could directly descend. He carefully controlled his speed, and only after descending to a certain height and being able to see the terrain clearly did he accelerate towards a barren land.
"This planet seems to be several times larger than the Spirit Realm."
After landing, Lu Xin couldn't help but exclaim. Just now, when he was in the air, he felt a huge pulling force, almost several times that of the Spirit Realm.
Under this pulling force, his flying speed was greatly reduced, and at the same time, he felt that his power had also become much smaller in this world.
In the past, he could shatter the void with a little force, but now he couldn't.
"It seems that the rules of heaven and earth here are even stronger." Lu Xin didn't think much about it and quickly burrowed into the ground, only to feel the sense of the rules of heaven and earth being strengthened again.
After burrowing for a while, he reached a depth that he considered safe, and then opened up space and arranged formations.
Next, he would absorb the power of immortal spirit to complete the transformation of the magic power in his body and become a Human Immortal.
These were all common sense that he had learned from Fairy Hundred Flowers.
