Tongtian's Emotions Changed

As he spoke, Lu Ren's gaze shifted slightly toward the True Realm.

Several decades had passed. Back when Hantu appeared, a ring of light had washed every evil demon and Outer God from the True Realm clean. Yet now that he had returned, quite a few had appeared again.

Tongtian followed the purest path of convergence between the inner and outer universes. Given his current path, destroying everything and starting over was unrealistic. Besides, he had originally been formed from the clear qi at the dawn of heaven and earth. He needed to walk the great path of the heaven-and-earth universe, unlike Lu Ren, who pursued the eternal path of an Inner World Universe that produced, consumed, and sustained itself.

Thus, the pollution of the True Realm was absolutely unacceptable to Tongtian. For someone who had reached the realm of a True Immortal in the present world—especially someone like Tongtian, who cultivated the supremely pure immortal dao primordial spirit system—once his primordial spirit merged with the universe and entered resonance with heaven and man, the characteristics of the present universe would allow him to sense the existence of the True Realm immediately. And he would deeply, deeply sense its unbearable level of pollution.

Seeing Lu Ren looking so delighted, Tongtian instead found it amusing. After all, a stowaway like him was an utterly unwelcome guest in this world. If not for his former identity as one of the Three Pure Ones, and the fact that he too had been born from the clear qi of the heaven-and-earth universe, allowing him to temporarily suppress the alien aura surrounding him, then without the two worlds being connected and their auras interweaving, contaminating, and imprinting upon one another—
