As luck would have it, when Lu Xin descended through the clouds above Iron Mystic Star, he found himself directly above his first stop: Duo Yuan City.
It was like revisiting an old haunt, so he landed directly.
He found the Eastern Peak Commerce and learned that Lu Lei Yun had gone to the main branch and never returned.
So, he headed straight for Eastern Peak City, where the main branch of the Eastern Peak Commerce was located.
On one hand, he wanted to catch up with old friends.
On the other hand, he naturally wanted to inquire about the Divine Wood Dao Sect.
He didn't choose to use the teleportation array; with his current strength, Iron Mystic Star wasn't that large to him.
So, getting to Eastern Peak City was just a matter of a few steps.
But he didn't choose to do that either; instead, he chose to travel slowly.
This was a habit he had developed over the past few years.
Because good things often appear before you unexpectedly.
So, he wanted to prolong the duration of these unexpected moments.
Each step covered tens of thousands of miles, which allowed him to clearly see the scenery along the way.
However, even at this slow pace, it only took him half a day to traverse most of the distance.
"It seems there's no harvest this time, but the scenery is quite nice."
Stopping at a picturesque cliff, Lu Xin smiled and shook his head, not disappointed. After admiring the scenery, he planned to continue onward.
However, just as he was about to lift his foot, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in the sky above.
Someone was passing through the clouds above him. He wouldn't have cared, except the person passing by was actually Du Zhiyan, whom he knew.
"Strange, judging by her expression, it looks like she's being chased. In this area of Eastern Peak City, who would dare to openly attack her like this?"
Lu Xin was somewhat puzzled, and soon became even more so, because he saw that the people chasing her weren't people, but demons.
Besides him, there was actually another demon on Iron Mystic Star.
Feeling curious, he disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile, sensing the sound of rushing wind getting closer and closer behind her, Du Zhiyan anxiously glanced back, then buried her head and continued on her way. "Almost there, almost there. Eastern Peak City is just ahead."
She urged herself in her heart.
But then, a sudden gust of wind blew in front of her, messing up the hair on her forehead.
It turned out that a figure had suddenly blocked her path, startling her greatly.
But then came surprise and joy, "It's you!"
The figure was naturally Lu Xin. He had no interest in watching a play first, so he directly revealed himself, "It's me."
He replied, then looked past her towards a streak of black light approaching from behind.
It was a middle-aged man with an aura equivalent to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm. He should be an Earth Demon.
Of course, even if it were a Heaven Demon, it wouldn't be much to him.
"Human expert!"
At this time, the Earth Demon also noticed Lu Xin's presence, and even realized that he couldn't sense any aura from the other party, immediately understanding that he had encountered a master.
He quickly turned around and fled.
"Want to leave now? It's too late."
Seeing him trying to escape, Lu Xin didn't rush. He reached out towards him, using the divine power of the "Profound Gate Primordial One Qi Great Capturing Hand."
The result was naturally no surprise; the demon man was instantly captured in his hand.
"Senior, spare me!"
Seeing himself restrained in the blink of an eye, the demon man panicked and begged for mercy.
Lu Xin ignored him, and instead looked at Du Zhiyan, "Why were you being chased by him?"
Du Zhiyan was still in a daze. Although she had long known that Lu Xin was a Celestial Immortal, resolving a Earth Demon equivalent to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm was too easy, wasn't it?
Hearing this, she came back to her senses, and then angrily said with a flushed face:
"Don't even mention it. This demon saw that this young lady was naturally beautiful and had such thoughts."
"So, he's a lustful demon. Then there's no need for him to exist."
Lu Xin nodded.
The demon man was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst, "Senior, it's all a misunderstanding! I just arrived here and wanted to ask that young lady about the situation, but…"
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a finger point on his brow.
This was naturally Lu Xin directly using the Soul Searching Secret Art.
He didn't want to know the truth; the only thing he wanted to know was why this demon appeared here.
A moment later, the demon man was thrown away by Lu Xin like a piece of trash.
At first, the demon man thought that the other party disdained to act against a small character like him, and casually released him.
However, before he could rejoice, he felt a burning sensation coming from his body.
Perhaps the temperature was too high; he only realized it when most of his body had already dissipated.
"Ah… no!"
Seeing the situation clearly, the demon man completely turned to ashes in a burst of terror.
"He actually emerged from there."
Learning the demon man's origin, Lu Xin was greatly surprised.
At this time, Du Zhiyan spoke, "He's just been wiped out like that?"
Hearing this, Lu Xin temporarily stopped thinking about it and looked at her with a smile:
"What? Did I do something wrong?"
Du Zhiyan shook her head, clenched her fists, "After being chased all the way, I wanted to punch him a few times to vent my anger."
"Forget it."
She stopped thinking about it and carefully sized up Lu Xin, "Why do I feel like you look a lot more powerful this time than last time?"
"Your feelings didn't deceive you." Lu Xin shrugged, directly admitting, "My cultivation has improved a bit."
"What? Improved again?"
Du Zhiyan was shocked. She had thought that Lu Xin had only obtained many divine powers in the secret realm and had increased his strength after learning them. How could she have thought that the other party's cultivation had improved? "Then what realm are you in now? Middle stage of Celestial Immortal?"
Lu Xin pondered for a moment. Since he had an undying body, it seemed there was no need to hide it, so he released a surge of aura and said:
"Just reached the early stage of True Immortal."
"Oh, hmm? What?"
Du Zhiyan thought she had misheard, but feeling the unfathomable aura he revealed, which was only weaker than her master's, it didn't seem fake.
She was instantly so surprised that her mouth could swallow an egg.
"How exactly do you cultivate?"
She looked at Lu Xin as if she were looking at a monster. She thought he had only broken through to the middle stage of Celestial Immortal, but it turned out he was actually a True Immortal.
"Eating any kind of immortal pill shouldn't be this fast, right?" She couldn't digest this information for a while.
"I just cultivated like this?"
Lu Xin couldn't give an answer to this question, and he didn't want to dwell on it, so he changed the subject:
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I came back this time specifically to see you all. Let's go to Eastern Peak City first."
"Oh."
Du Zhiyan nodded woodenly, still not having recovered from the shock.
It wasn't until Lu Xin tapped her on the head that she followed his steps.
"Too slow."
Lu Xin no longer had the intention of walking slowly. He grabbed Du Zhiyan's shoulder, and in an instant, they appeared outside Eastern Peak City.
Compared to the shock he had brought earlier, this feeling of shifting stars and changing constellations didn't bring Du Zhiyan much shock.
"You actually dare to return to Eastern Peak City. Aren't you afraid that my master will covet your treasures and attack you?"
Du Zhiyan rubbed her shoulder, curiously.
Lu Xin looked at the somewhat familiar city and shook his head slightly, "To tell you the truth, I've already fought a peak Golden Immortal realm expert."
"And you can still come back alive? Really?"
Du Zhiyan expressed doubt. She knew that although he had reached the True Immortal realm, there was still a considerable gap between him and a Golden Immortal, right?
Moreover, it was still a peak Golden Immortal.
So, she didn't believe it no matter what.
