Lu Xin swept the island with his divine sense and found it heavily guarded, causing him a moment of bewilderment. Fairy Baihua felt the same. She questioned Xu Shenmeng, but since she had been chased for so long, she was unaware of the reason.
Helpless, they had no choice but to descend and inquire about the situation.
Finally, they learned that it wasn't just this island that was heavily guarded, but the entire East Sea archipelago. As for the reason, it was related to Lu Xin and his companion.
It turned out that after the plea for help from the Central Continent arrived, the East Sea islands were instantly alerted. However, they didn't send anyone to provide assistance because they were only separated from the Demon Realm by the Two Realms Abyss.
They were deeply afraid that after they went to the Central Continent, the Demon Realm would cross the Two Realms Abyss and attack them from both sides.
Therefore, while maintaining vigilance, they also paid attention to news from the Central Continent.
Soon, they received news of a great victory in the Central Continent, and that they had even counterattacked. They instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to relax, fearing that the Demon Clan might try to force the Spirit Realm to retreat by launching a surprise attack from their side.
So, they notified the people stationed on Linyuan Island that if there was any movement, they should transmit back a message and destroy the teleportation array.
As a result, the commotion caused by Lu Xin and his companion scared them so much that they ran away without even seeing the situation clearly.
In short, it was a misunderstanding.
After clarifying the truth, Lu Xin was somewhat amused, but he didn't reveal his identity or the truth. Using the teleportation array, he discreetly headed towards the Southern Domain.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Through the teleportation array, they quickly returned to the mainland. Then, through the teleportation array of the Donghua Trading Company, they returned to the Donghua Divine Palace.
"This is the Donghua Divine Palace. It's your first time here, so I'll take you around later," Lu Xin said as he waved his hand, dismissing the people who came to greet him.
"Then we shall accept your kind offer," Fairy Baihua said, looking around with interest. Xu Shenmeng was the same. On the way, she had learned that these two had actually returned from the Demon Realm.
She had also learned about Lu Xin's strength, that not only was his cultivation profound, but his combat power was also astonishing.
This surprised her for a long time.
"Along the way, the overall strength of the Southern Domain seems to have improved a lot," Fairy Baihua said as Lu Xin led her, admiring the scenery.
Lu Xin smiled and explained, "Due to the existence of the teleportation array, the mobility of experts from various places has greatly increased. And you've only stayed near the teleportation array along the way, so of course you've seen many experts."
Fairy Baihua smiled, "That's indeed the case, but it can't be denied that it's thanks to you. Because of your teleportation array, coupled with the Southern Domain newspaper, the chances of people from various places finding opportunities have greatly increased."
Lu Xin shook his head, "I just hope that those who die on the way to find opportunities don't blame me."
Fairy Baihua disagreed, "Life and death are predetermined. In the past, those who didn't have good aptitude and weren't willing to take risks would eventually die and be buried somewhere. Now, you've at least given them a chance to break through."
"Maybe," Lu Xin shrugged.
As they spoke, they arrived at a pavilion on a cliff. Watching the churning clouds, the three of them sat down. Soon, someone served spiritual tea and spiritual fruit.
After that, the three of them chatted about other topics. Because too many things had happened recently, Lu Xin arranged accommodation for them so they could recover their energy.
He then came to the secret chamber where Ji Yue was in seclusion and informed her of his return.
"Lu Xin," Ji Yue threw herself into his arms, and Lu Xin could feel her joy.
"Let me see how much your cultivation has improved in the year or so since I last saw you," Lu Xin said, cupping her delicate face.
"Hmph, won't you look at something else?" Ji Yue was somewhat dissatisfied.
"Of course, I'll look at that too."
A few days later, Fairy Baihua and Xu Shenmeng came to say goodbye. During these days, Ji Yue had also gotten to know them. Lu Xin took her and sent the two of them to the teleportation array.
"Brother Lu, if you have time, you two must come to Baihua Holy Land as guests."
"Definitely."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Lu," Xu Shenmeng also bid farewell, then followed Fairy Baihua into the teleportation array and disappeared into the hall in the blink of an eye.
"What kind of look is that?" After sending the two away, Lu Xin turned around and saw Ji Yue's scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't help but pinch her nose.
Ji Yue winced and pulled his hand away, "Tell me, why is it that every time you go out, you meet such beautiful sisters?"
Lu Xin stroked his chin and said seriously, "Could it be because there are very few ugly people among those who cultivate immortality?"
"Hmph," Ji Yue snorted lightly and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Cultivation," Ji Yue said without turning her head.
"Is she stimulated again?" Lu Xin wasn't willing to let her go, and had to resort to family law.
In this way, several months passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Lu Xin didn't rush to use the Bodhi Creation Dew to refine his body, but instead adjusted his body to its peak state while teaching his disciples.
He also inquired about matters within the palace.
A few days later, Lu Xin felt that it was time to cultivate the tenth transformation of the Golden Body. He was just about to start cultivating, but at this time, someone unexpectedly came to visit.
The visitor was Tian Zijing, and accompanying him was Zhou Meiren.
Lu Xin led the two to a secluded and elegant place. Tian Zijing explained the purpose of their visit. It turned out that the Spirit and Demon Realms had reached a peace agreement, with the Demon Clan paying a certain price.
As for the space passage, after learning that Fairy Baihua had returned, it had already been repaired.
The Demon Realm initially tried to obstruct it, saying that there were still two strong individuals from the Spirit Realm remaining in their Demon Realm, and that they had to wait for them to leave before they could repair it.
As a result, the Spirit Realm didn't want to delay any longer and informed them of the news. They didn't believe it, but soon learned from the Two Realms Abyss of the Demon Realm that there were strong individuals who had forcibly broken through, and only then did they not obstruct it.
At this point, the matter of the Demon Realm could be considered to have come to an end.
Tian Zijing came to present the Demon Realm's compensation. In addition to the portions given to the Demon Clan and the experts from the Northern Snowfield who came to provide support, the rest were all sent over.
"You don't want any of it?"
Lu Xin was somewhat surprised.
Tian Zijing smiled and said, "Not to mention that most people should thank you for saving their lives, just based on the seventy-six spirit crystals you took out, we should compensate you."
As he spoke, he took out another storage bag, "This is what everyone has tried their best to put together. I hope you don't mind."
Lu Xin took it and casually glanced at it, and found that there were many spiritual herbs, spiritual fruits, and other cultivation resources inside, with ranks ranging from low to high, and a wide variety of types. There were also some ores, divine power techniques, and so on.
Clearly, it was to expand the foundation of his forces, which was very thoughtful.
"You're being too polite," Lu Xin said politely and put it away.
"Brother Lu is too serious."
Tian Zijing waved his hand, then curiously asked, "By the way, Brother Lu, what exactly did you do in the Demon Realm that caused them to grit their teeth and accept even our outrageous conditions?"
Lu Xin thought about it and didn't see the need to hide it, so he told them about what happened in the Sea of Dead Souls. Of course, he didn't specifically explain the purpose of his visit.
"So that's how it is. It seems that the Demon Clan's hasty retreat was indeed due to Brother Lu," Tian Zijing said in shock. Although he had long known that Lu Xin was very strong, he didn't expect him to be this strong.
Faced with the siege of three top demon heads, he was still able to kill one, destroy one's body, and severely injure one, while he himself was as if nothing had happened.
He was truly ridiculously strong.
Zhou Meiren on the side was also surprised, "It seems that he has already obtained the Bodhi Creation Dew," he thought to himself.
