"It's you!"
The person who came was none other than the Cold-Faced Immortal. He had clearly also discovered Lu Xin, and his expression became serious.
Although he now knew that he and Lu Xin were at the same realm, the latter possessed a Houtian Treasure, which he couldn't contend with.
So, without a word, he directly fled.
"How decisive, but it's a pity you can't escape."
Lu Xin had long wanted to deal with him, how could he let him go? He didn't hide his cultivation and fully unleashed his Sword Escape, catching up to him in the blink of an eye.
"What?"
Sensing the fluctuations behind him, the Cold-Faced Immortal revealed a look of panic. After turning his head to look, he was even more horrified, "You're a Celestial Immortal! ?"
He was indeed panicking, not understanding what realm the other party was in, one moment a True Immortal, the next a Earth Immortal.
Now he was a Celestial Immortal, and it looked like the real deal.
"Impossible, how could you, a Celestial Immortal, enter this place?!" He couldn't believe it, nor could he accept it.
As far as he knew, even a Grand Golden Immortal couldn't force their way in, so how could the other party enter?
"Hmph, take your questions to hell!"
Lu Xin didn't plan to delay and directly used his strongest divine power technique, the Geng Metal Divine Lightning.
This technique, unlike his Yang Wood Divine Lightning, which could only be released with a sword, could be used with or without a sword.
This time, he still chose to use the sword because he had the passive buff of [Heart of the Sword], permanently increasing power and speed by 100%.
Last time, he used this move to instantly kill Tiger Light Immortal.
Crack!
A golden lightning flashed past, and smelling a strong smell of flint, the Cold-Faced Immortal was terrified. It was too late to dodge, so he had to fully unleash a silver-gray saber light to resist.
He then took the opportunity to quickly distance himself.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Lu Xin had seen that silver-gray saber light last time. It disappeared in a flash, but this time he saw it clearly. It was a long saber surrounded by a gray-silver aura.
Under this aura, its speed was also extremely fast and unpredictable.
If it weren't for his soaring realm and the fact that the other party's target was clear, which was to block the True Yang Divine Sword, he wouldn't have been able to see the trajectory of this saber clearly.
It could be seen that this saber was also extremely extraordinary.
But it was useless. With his Celestial Immortal realm and the passive buff of [Heart of the Sword], if he still couldn't instantly kill a late-stage Earth Immortal, then he could find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
"Bang!"
As expected, the silver-gray long saber was indeed extraordinary. When it collided with the True Yang Divine Sword, it immediately turned from solid to void, completely transforming into a strange silver-gray gas, wanting to engulf and devour the True Yang Divine Sword.
However, it was immediately shattered by the Geng Metal Divine Lightning on the divine sword, which still rushed towards the Cold-Faced Immortal with irresistible force in the blink of an eye.
All of this may seem long, but it only happened in the instant that the Cold-Faced Immortal unleashed the saber light.
He never expected that his always relied-upon gray-silver saber couldn't even resist for a breath.
At this time, he hadn't even had time to pull away far enough.
Looking at the golden light rapidly magnifying in his eyes, its speed had already exceeded his reaction time. Before he could even raise his hand, a golden thin line pierced through his brow.
"So... fast."
He struggled to spit out two words, and finally, the light in his eyes faded, and his body fell down.
Lu Xin flashed and appeared, collecting his remains, and then came to the gray-silver saber. At this time, it had once again turned into a long saber.
He reached out and grabbed it in his hand, unexpectedly light, as if it were nothing.
"Is this the reason for its speed?"
Lu Xin carefully examined it. He was actually very surprised just now.
Because the speed of this saber was not much slower than his True Yang Divine Sword after his realm and passive buff were added.
Now, some clues could be found from its weight.
After flipping it back and forth, he found the words "Gray Silver" on the hilt, and then he understood. This was not only the name of this saber, but also indicated the material of this saber.
He had heard Lu Lei Yun mention that gray silver was one of the lightest materials in the world.
It was most suitable for creating light and agile treasures.
The Gray Silver Saber should have been created from this, but it was a pity that the Cold-Faced Immortal seemed to have over-pursued speed and ignored power.
So, this led to this saber only being suitable for sneak attacks and not for head-on collisions.
Without thinking further, Lu Xin directly refined it and found that this saber actually had eighteen Dao patterns, making it a top-grade Houtian middle-grade spiritual treasure.
"Not bad."
Casually resolving an enemy who wanted to kill him, Lu Xin didn't stay any longer and continued forward.
Soon, he passed through the area of late-stage Human Immortal-level demonic beasts and entered the area where early-stage Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts gathered.
If he guessed correctly, it should increase level by level afterward. Considering the highest cultivation level allowed to enter this place, there should only be two areas left behind.
Passing through them would allow him to enter the Immortal Palace.
This might be difficult for others, but it was effortless for him.
Searching forward, he quickly obtained several second-order immortal herbs from the locations of those early-stage Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts.
And he also found a few second-order ores.
"It's a pity, there shouldn't be any third-order items here."
After roughly figuring out the structure of this place, Lu Xin became a little disappointed again. Although this place was not difficult for him, there probably wouldn't be any items that could be directly useful to him.
Putting aside his mood, adhering to the principle that even a mosquito is still meat, he still moved forward step by step.
However, with his strength, his speed was still extremely fast.
In just half a month, he had probably already crossed half the distance. Under the passive buff of [Luck], he seemed to have taken a route that few predecessors had taken, and his harvest was quite rich.
"Chirp!"
Suddenly, just as Lu Xin once again put a second-order ore into his bag, he actually heard a familiar cry again.
"Is it the firebird that the Cold-Faced Immortal was chasing?"
He thought for a while and went towards the sound.
Soon, he saw the firebird. It was indeed the one that the Cold-Faced Immortal was chasing, but it was now in trouble again. A red fire net had already trapped it firmly.
No matter how it flapped its wings, charging left and right, it couldn't escape the fire net's restraints, and instead, it was being bound tighter and tighter.
"Haha, it's really a Vermilion Bird cub, and it's not simulated by a great formation. Junior Sister Fire Spirit, be careful, don't hurt it."
There was also a man and a woman around, both with mid-stage Earth Immortal cultivation.
And the fire net was being controlled by the woman wearing a red dress.
"It's actually the Holy Beast Vermilion Bird, and it's real!" Lu Xin heard the sound, and after carefully distinguishing it, he was extremely surprised.
He finally understood why this firebird was only at the late-stage Human Immortal level, and why the Cold-Faced Immortal only chased and didn't kill it, and why the two people in front were only besieging it.
It turned out to be for this reason.
At this time, the red-dressed woman increased her mana input, and the fire net's red light flourished, accelerating its contraction and even compressing the Vermilion Bird's body shape.
"Chirp!"
Seemingly sensing the crisis, the Vermilion Bird suddenly burst out with countless flames from its body in a long cry. The flames were red with a hint of purple, and the intense heat seemed to be able to melt through the void.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the red light of the fire net, causing it to dim for a while.
"Chirp!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Vermilion Bird once again let out a long cry that resounded through the clouds. With a flap of its wings, its body actually grew larger again, instantly pushing the fire net open.
Then, it retracted its wings and transformed into a fire arrow, wanting to pass through the enlarged fire net's mesh.
The red-dressed woman's expression changed, and she said, "This is its Natal Divine Fire. My Fire Spirit Net can't trap it. Senior Brother Qu, hurry up and take action!"
"Junior Sister, don't panic, watch your senior brother's Seven Treasure Wishful Ring."
The man's expression was calm, and he seized the opportunity to wave out a ring with seven gems.
In the blink of an eye, it flew to the top of the Vermilion Bird, which had transformed into a fire arrow and had already passed through the fire net, catching it right on target.
"Shrink!"
The man pointed again, and the ring immediately shrank, firmly encircling the Vermilion Bird.
"Chirp!"
The Vermilion Bird still wanted to struggle, but its wings were circled and could not be spread. It also released its Natal Divine Fire to burn, but it was also dissolved by the seven-colored divine light emitted by the seven gems on the ring.
In the end, it lost its power and fell down.
"Great, we finally caught it!"
The red-dressed woman's face lit up with joy.
"This is thanks to Junior Sister's Fire Spirit Net. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been easy for my Seven Treasure Wishful Ring to catch it."
The man also breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman frowned upon hearing this, "Does Senior Brother mean that this Vermilion Bird belongs to you?"
The man frankly said, "To be honest, Junior Sister, your senior brother discovered a secret place some time ago and needs to use its Natal Divine Fire to pass through."
He watched the woman's expression and continued, "Otherwise, everything we obtain in the future will belong to you, Junior Sister. In addition, after we go out, your senior brother also has something else to compensate you with."
The woman's expression eased slightly upon hearing this, but she was still somewhat reluctant. The significance of the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast was self-evident.
If she were to take it as a mount, her strength would definitely increase greatly.
"What does Junior Sister think?" Seeing that the woman was still hesitating, the man asked.
The woman thought for a while and was about to answer when a voice came from the side, "You two don't have to be troubled, this beast has a connection with me."
