Lu Xin could naturally sense their apprehension, but he didn't mind. Eventually, these people would get used to his presence and wouldn't want to part with him, just like the Seven Luminaries Sect back then.
He pointed at the statue and casually explained, "You all saw the divine light just now, so you can say you have a karmic connection with this humble Daoist. Therefore, there's no need to panic. I am not with those people just now, including the woman from before."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending, the crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Then, a hint of joy emerged. To be associated with an immortal who could obliterate four immortals with a wave of his hand, the implications were self-evident.
Although these people were weak, their ability to read people was not low. Moreover, as people from the Upper Realm, they knew some information about the Divine Dao.
Therefore, led by the old man who had transcended tribulation, they respectfully said:
"Immortal, please rest assured, we will definitely offer our respects morning and night to repay the great kindness of the Immortal Elder in saving our lives twice!"
Lu Xin was very satisfied with this, standing with his hands clasped behind his back, "I won't let you worship in vain. This humble Daoist will stay here for a while and impart the methods of the Immortal Dao to you."
"Thank you, Immortal!"
The crowd was overjoyed and immediately prostrated themselves.
Afterward, Lu Xin stayed in this place. After finding a place and understanding their situation, he began to preach the Dharma.
He now had at least a dozen cultivation techniques and many spells. Therefore, teaching these people who had not yet entered the Immortal Path was more than enough.
"Donglin, how long has it been since you passed the second tribulation?"
At the top of a flat mountain peak shrouded in mist, Lu Xin sat upright on a stone platform. Below, a row of people also sat upright, all with Great Ascension and Tribulation Transcending cultivation.
Hearing this, the old man with the highest cultivation, Wang Donglin, hurriedly stood up and said, "Reporting to Immortal Venerable, it has been over six thousand years."
"Hmm, more than six thousand years have passed, and you still dare not cross the third tribulation. It seems you are not confident."
Lu Xin looked at him, then casually flicked out a piece of inner armor. This was a Houtian inferior-grade spiritual treasure with four Dao patterns, obtained from those people he encountered on his way to the White Light Star Path.
He bestowed it upon the old man named Wang Donglin in front of him, "This is called Black Mountain Armor, a Houtian inferior-grade spiritual treasure. I have erased its aura. After you refine it, go and transcend the tribulation."
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable!"
Wang Donglin was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Lu Xin waved his hand, and the Black Mountain Armor appeared in the other party's hand, "Alright, go. Next time, I will teach you spells and divine abilities."
"Yes, Immortal Venerable."
The crowd took their leave.
After the people left, the mist closed in, and soon Lu Xin's figure disappeared.
He got up and came to an ordinary Taoist temple next to the high platform, which was the transformed Míng Luán Immortal Palace.
Plans could not keep up with changes. He had originally planned to return to the Dongzhen Temple in the White Light Star and collect the Nether Valley Wind.
But now that he had become an early-stage True Immortal, it seemed unnecessary to go back to collect this wind.
The most important thing now was to push his strength to its peak.
First, he had to practice all the divine abilities he obtained in the secret realm to a realm that matched his current level;
Second, he had to collect materials to forge the six divine swords corresponding to the six sword techniques of the 《Chaos Sword Manual》.
Therefore, he planned to stay here for a long time.
Having clarified what he needed to do, Lu Xin went to the restricted room to begin his seclusion.
"Hmph, he's very good at pretending."
Up in the sky, Huang Tianjiao had obviously been watching Lu Xin for a long time. Seeing his serious look when he preached the Dharma, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
Then, seeing him disappear into the clouds and completely lose his aura, she frowned and became puzzled.
Then, a red light lit up in her eyes. In the red light, her sight quickly penetrated the clouds and landed on a Taoist temple.
"It's actually a Xiantian spiritual treasure. He's really not simple!"
With the previous curse law in place, Huang Tianjiao's acceptance limit had actually been infinitely raised, but suddenly seeing a Xiantian treasure, she still felt very surprised.
After all, the other party was only a Heavenly Immortal before. These two things should be very far away from him.
"Could it be that he used to be at a high level and accidentally fell due to some injury?"
Huang Tianjiao had been unable to figure out how the other party had suddenly skyrocketed in realm during this time.
And why he was confident that he was immortal. Even she, a Golden Immortal with an indestructible body, did not dare to have this confidence.
Therefore, these questions prompted her to return halfway to her clan and run back, just to find out the truth.
But now she was getting more and more confused.
"Forget it, when you come to kill me in the future, you should at least let me die knowing why, right?"
She finally took a deep look at the mist and completely left.
Lu Xin was naturally unaware of all this, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
The Undying Body did eliminate his various concerns. The only thing to pay attention to was to remember the people who blew up his body.
So that he could settle the score in the future.
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Divine abilities were even more difficult to cultivate than Lu Xin had imagined.
It wasn't that he didn't understand. He understood everything he needed to understand. The only obstacle was the time it took.
The 《Heavenly One True Fire Refining Method》 he obtained was relatively simple. In just a few months, he had refined the Heavenly One True Fire to True Immortal-level power.
At the same time, this true fire had also reached its limit. There wasn't even a method to comprehend the Fire Law, let alone increase its power.
Fortunately, the 《Five Elements True Thunder Method》 had a method to comprehend the Fire Law, and he might be able to combine it in the future to continue to increase its power.
Of course, these were all things for later. For now, it was enough.
The second divine ability he cultivated was 《Mystic Gate Xiantian One Qi Great Capturing Hand》. This divine ability also required condensing Xiantian One Qi in the body.
After nearly a year of cultivation, he should now be able to capture those below the True Immortal level with ease.
Capturing the same level, even if he couldn't capture them in one fell swoop, he could restrain them for a while.
For him, a moment was enough for him to take someone's life.
In addition, although this divine ability did not have a Law comprehension method, it had a follow-up cultivation method.
It should be a divine ability cultivated by those rogue immortals who could not comprehend the Law.
It was not bad. With this divine ability, even if an immortal who had cultivated the Law wanted to break free, it would not be easy.
The third divine ability he cultivated was 《Wind Character Qimen》.
He had now cultivated this to the True Immortal level. He hadn't tried the specific speed yet, but it shouldn't be bad.
The next step was to comprehend the Wind Law.
There was no rush for this. First, although he had the [Focus] passive, it only described "always able to learn", but not "always able to learn quickly".
Therefore, comprehending the Law was an extremely time-consuming process. Maybe decades or hundreds of years would pass in one comprehension;
Second, as Huang Tianjiao said before, even if a True Immortal could comprehend the Law, they could not use it because their body would collapse.
Even a Golden Immortal with an indestructible body could not use too much.
Otherwise, they would be backfired.
Therefore, comprehending the Law was not the top priority.
It was still important to continue to improve other divine abilities.
Finally, what he cultivated was the five divine thunders in the 《Five Elements True Thunder Method》.
Condensing the inner thunder gods of these five divine thunders occupied most of his time in this seclusion.
However, the effect was significant. Now the five divine thunders had also been cultivated to the True Immortal level. The next step was to comprehend the corresponding Law.
Of course, he could also not comprehend it, but the power would only be the normal divine thunder power.
So, in general, except for curse-like divine abilities, he had completed what he had to do in this stage of seclusion.
Next, he would start forging the six divine swords.
With the blessing of spiritual treasures, the power of his six divine thunders could be increased by another level.
So, he decided to end this seclusion.
