"Young friend, there's no need to panic. You and I share the same origin—we should have a good exchange in the future!" Star Dust Daoist said with a smile.

The young man stopped and cupped his hands respectfully. "Senior, may I ask how to address you? This junior is Lin Feng, a rogue cultivator who hasn't joined any sect. I don't understand what you mean, Senior."

Star Dust Daoist chuckled. "This humble Daoist is Star Dust, an elder of the Seven Stars Sect. I recently broke through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and came here specifically to find another Hunyuan elder of our Seven Stars Sect."

The young man was startled. "Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal—is this the realm after becoming an immortal?"

Star Dust Daoist shook his head. "After achieving immortality, one becomes a Human Immortal. After Human Immortal, one must pass through four longevity realms: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, and Xuan Immortal. Then one breaks through to four immortal realms: Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Only after breaking through again does one reach my current realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!"

Lin Feng stood dumbfounded. The surrounding Great Ascension Realm cultivators were equally stunned, their breathing stopped completely as they lowered their heads, afraid that even a single breath might anger Star Dust Daoist. Some Great Ascension cultivators even transformed into stones, remaining completely motionless while shutting off their five senses to avoid hearing any further conversation.

It took Lin Feng a long time to regain his composure. He swallowed hard and asked, "Senior must have mistaken me for someone else. I'm just a Great Ascension Realm cultivator."

"No mistake. Just moments ago, through you, I have already found your true spirit!"

The moment Star Dust Daoist's words fell and Lin Feng heard the term "true spirit," it was as if some mechanism had been activated.

His originally clear eyes were instantly replaced by demonic nature. The entire medium-sized world, including the whole Banyan World, instantly changed color as the heavenly dao took on a layer of pitch-black darkness.

Countless amounts of power poured from heaven and earth into Lin Feng. His power began to skyrocket explosively!

Human Immortal! Earth Immortal! Heavenly Immortal! True Immortal! Xuan Immortal!

Golden Immortal! Taiyi Golden Immortal! Great Luo Golden Immortal! Hunyuan Golden Immortal!

It only stopped when it reached the early stage of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Star Dust Daoist thought this was his fellow sect elder, so he didn't attempt to stop the other's recovery. Su Yuan needed to obtain the other's cultivation power, so he likewise didn't intervene.

Lin Feng opened his eyes, his crimson pupils staring directly at Star Dust. His originally wary expression paused when he sensed no hostility or killing intent from the other party.

Star Dust Daoist, meanwhile, sensed the broken true spirit within the other's body, leaking true spirit power every moment—the injuries appeared extremely severe.

"Fellow Daoist need not panic. I merely came to welcome you!" Star Dust Daoist said cheerfully. "I also have some understanding of Soul Law, which should be quite helpful for your true spirit's recovery!"

Lin Feng fell silent, then couldn't help asking doubtfully, "You are...?"

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself properly. I am Star Dust, an elder of the Seven Stars Sect, newly advanced to Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!" Star Dust Daoist said with a laugh.

"You're from the Immortal Realm?" Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.

"No! Our Seven Stars Sect is a neutral force. Just recently, our sect signed neutrality agreements with dozens of mighty figures from both the Demon Realm and Immortal Realm, reaching trade agreements with numerous factions!"

Star Dust Daoist raised his hand, displaying agreement after agreement, with the names of various mighty figures clearly listed in the signature sections.

When Lin Feng saw that even Youhe Demon Venerable's demonic thought signature was among them, he was utterly stunned.

The true spirit signatures of dozens of mighty figures couldn't possibly be faked.

This shocked Lin Feng—had he been asleep for many years? How had the world become so unfamiliar?

But sensing that his true spirit remained broken and that this was only the first cycle of reincarnation, he felt completely bewildered.

If he remembered correctly, shouldn't the mighty figures of Immortal and Demon Realms still be at war? How would they have time to sign such agreements?

Lin Feng couldn't wrap his mind around it. He asked doubtfully, "Then why are you here? What is your purpose?"

Star Dust Daoist looked somewhat puzzled. "The Dao Sovereign sent me to welcome an elder back. Are you not a Seven Stars Sect elder?"

Lin Feng fell silent.

If he shook his head now, would this guy attack him? Was this some kind of trick?

But his perception told him this person wasn't lying—deceiving him would be more difficult than killing him!

"I am!" Lin Feng slowly nodded. "But I'm currently recuperating, so I won't be returning!"

Star Dust Daoist hesitated upon hearing this. "Is that so? This wastes too much time!"

He flipped his hand and took out some spiritual liquid.

"This is Three Lights Divine Water, which also has some effect on restoring true spirit. Senior Brother can consume and refine it for recovery." Star Dust Daoist said very kindly.

The address "Senior Brother" left Lin Feng somewhat speechless.

He accepted the Three Lights Divine Water, detecting no abnormalities. After checking it and looking at Star Dust Daoist's friendly expression, he directly swallowed it.

When he refined the Three Lights Divine Water, a cool energy integrated into his broken true spirit. The spiderweb-like cracks in his true spirit barely merged together, and his injuries stabilized considerably.

Lin Feng's expression softened. Though the amount of Three Lights Divine Water was small, it was enough to save him a million years of recovery through reincarnation.

He now began recalling information about the Seven Stars Sect. Soon, he found some relevant details from his memories.

This Seven Stars Sect seemed to be a cross-world Great Luo force capable of traveling between various worlds. In terms of strength, it ranked medium among the Three Realms, but he never expected it to have Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal elders.

Given the current situation, were they trying to recruit him into the Seven Stars Sect?

Though he didn't know how they discovered his Banyan World, their sincerity seemed genuine. Even though he would never join the Seven Stars Sect, getting some free benefits wouldn't hurt!

"Does Junior Brother have any other healing medicines?" Lin Feng asked with a smile. "This Three Lights Divine Water works well, but the quantity is somewhat lacking!"

Star Dust apologized, "This humble Daoist just recently broke through to Hunyuan, so I don't possess any treasures effective for Hunyuan mighty figures. This Three Lights Divine Water was bestowed by the Dao Sovereign, left over from when I broke through to Hunyuan. But if you return to the Seven Stars Sect, the Dao Sovereign will certainly bestow healing medicines upon you!"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered. "I temporarily cannot leave this world, so there's no need to trouble the Dao Sovereign. I can recover slowly here!"

Star Dust Daoist said, "How about I perform a great soul divine art to heal you somewhat?"

Lin Feng hesitated briefly, then nodded. "Very well!"

At this point, Lin Feng's trust in Star Dust Daoist was relatively high because when he was recovering earlier, it took several breaths of time—enough for Star Dust Daoist to kill him hundreds of millions of times.

So if Star Dust Daoist had ill intentions, why wait until now to act?

He didn't have even a bit of wealth on him—he was poorer than Star Dust Daoist, this newly advanced Hunyuan mighty figure.

There were indeed some treasures hidden in the Banyan World, but those couldn't escape a Hunyuan's eyes. The other party completely didn't need to ask him for locations or such.

Thus, Lin Feng agreed to Star Dust Daoist's proposal.

The two came to Lin Feng's courtyard in the Banyan World and sat facing each other.

Star Dust Daoist released rich, pure starlight that enveloped Lin Feng's soul and true spirit.

Wave after wave of cool sensation washed over Lin Feng's heart as his true spirit slowly repaired itself!

This was personal healing from a mighty figure—far more effective than recovery through reincarnation!

He never expected to have the opportunity to receive treatment from a mighty figure.

Stellar Law inherently contained healing properties. Combined with Soul Law, the healing starlight released was only slightly less effective than Three Lights Divine Water!

Gradually, the two entered an optimal state.

Star Dust Daoist showed no impatience whatsoever. For him, the concept of time was very broad. Although the Dao Sovereign had given him a mission, he considered spending a few hundred years to complete it as nothing significant.

Su Yuan, currently in his mental incarnation form, quietly observed the two's actions.

He never expected things to develop in this direction.

If Banyan Demon Venerable was truly willing to join the Seven Stars Sect, he wouldn't mind having another Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal elder.

But Su Yuan's mental echo had already heard Banyan Demon Venerable's thoughts—he knew the other only wanted free benefits without paying any price.

How could Su Yuan allow such a person to remain? One could only say the other sought his own destruction!

The moment they entered the optimal state.

Su Yuan mentally transmitted to Star Dust Daoist: "Kill him!"

Star Dust Daoist froze—Su Yuan's voice was so cold and detached.

In an instant, Star Dust Daoist recalled everything about meeting Lin Feng and immediately understood Su Yuan's plan: deliberately getting close to the other, then suddenly striking to eliminate him!

Star Dust Daoist didn't hesitate. The healing light instantly transformed into destructive light that struck Lin Feng's true spirit.

Destruction is faster than construction!

In that moment, Banyan Demon Venerable's already broken true spirit shattered into countless fragments!

Banyan Demon Venerable jolted awake. He watched helplessly as his true spirit shattered, his soul was extinguished, and his consciousness dissipated!

"Why?"

Banyan Demon Venerable sent a soul-searching question to Star Dust Daoist.

When he refined the Three Lights Divine Water, a cool energy integrated into his broken true spirit. The spiderweb-like cracks in his true spirit barely merged together, and his injuries stabilized considerably.

Banyan Demon Venerable finally breathed his last, his consciousness dissipating along with the destruction of his true spirit—dead beyond dead!

Star Dust Daoist's expression remained calm, showing little emotional fluctuation. From the beginning, when he sensed Banyan Demon Venerable's demonic cultivator aura, he had some doubts. Indeed, he had been too naive.

However, just at that moment.

The previously vanished Hunyuan aura suddenly reappeared.

Star Dust Daoist's expression changed.

Su Yuan's mental transmission came: "Don't panic! Don't act!"

Star Dust Daoist looked surprised toward the opposite side.

A figure walked out from Lin Feng's consciousness sea, transforming from illusory to solid. Its aura instantly changed from nothing to the magic power cultivation and soul cultivation of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Su Yuan felt his new mental incarnation and rejoiced inwardly.

Success!

He had actually succeeded in seizing a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal's magic power cultivation and soul cultivation, condensing them into a mental incarnation! Combined with his mental state cultivation, physical cultivation, and law comprehension—this was undoubtedly a genuine Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Scattered Hunyuan had become complete set Hunyuan!
