The latest message was from three days ago, saying it's the eighteen-year college reunion, hoping to gather over the weekend and have a chat.

Has it really been eighteen years since I graduated?

Lu Ren felt a moment of daze, just thinking that it seemed to have only been a few days, but it turned out that so many years have passed.

Seeing the messages still active in the college classmates' WeChat group, Lu Ren showed a slight smile and casually sent an 'observing in secret' emoji.

After a brief silence in the group, people quickly started to emerge.

That Flower: "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!! Lu Ren came back from the dead!!"

Uncle Liu: "Where have you been all these years, didn't expect to get a message only after so long, have you been stuck in a secret organization and couldn't get out?"

Everyone was discussing excitedly, after all, back then Lu Ren was quite prominent with his martial prowess, they understood, but later on Lu Ren vanished without a trace, leaving no news, while the emerging stories of talented martial arts families overshadowed Lu Ren's information quickly.

"I've been practicing the Martial Path all along, so I kept a low profile, how have you all been?"

The directions these college classmates took after graduation, Lu Ren had heard little about in the past few years, some went back to their small towns, passed civil service exams, and became government officials, or simply contracted hundreds of acres to plant orchards, living quite comfortably.

But most still headed for big cities, at least in the largest city in the Southwest, Shu Capital, many classmates still work hard here, most of them have established their families and careers, commuting daily like corporate workers.

Even though eighteen years have passed, Lu Ren still feels as if it was yesterday, many times the memories are still vivid.

Time is just like that, sneaks away fast when people aren't paying attention.

Everyone chatted eagerly, after all, a character who has been silent for many years suddenly reappears, and what's more, a person with great reputation on the Martial Path previously, is indeed intriguing.

But as the conversation progressed, the atmosphere in the group turned quite silly, starting with all sorts of boasting, joking and fooling around, at the end, Uncle Liu tagged Lu Ren.

"Coincidentally, we're all on holiday at the end of the month, we've arranged an eighteen-year classmates reunion, many have come from their hometowns to see the most familiar stranger, the place is on the fourth floor nostalgia hall of the Langya Hotel, 6:30 PM/dog head"

Seeing this message, Lu Ren hesitated a bit, but ultimately replied.

"If there's an opportunity I will attend."

Lu Ren casually sent the message, not having too many thoughts about it, as for attending the classmates reunion, he really hadn't considered it, once he took a few days to rest, he'd need to continue exploring his Path of Origin.

To see what the ultimate destination is like.

Because Earth and Beidou Emperor Star are different, to explore the Path of Origin, he still needed to seek advice from people like Ji Quanzhen and Zhang Tongxuan who have been immersed in this path for a long time.

After all, as the world environment changes, these super experts who once broke through to the Bright Awakening Realm under the oppression of the world environment with great perseverance, great wisdom, and great physique, once the world environment starts to gradually relax, these people will soar high, with decades of cultivation as the most intense propulsion to rank at the top.

In the evening, Ji Quanzhen specifically called to confirm Lu Ren wasn't in trouble, somewhat strangely saying: "When will we chat? I'm really curious to see if you're still you, if you're really yourself."

"What do you mean?"

Standing on the balcony, Lu Ren looked at the thousands of lights outside, the location of this villa area was quite nice, quiet amid the hustle, and with a great view, able to see the endless flow of people and vehicles in the new district.

"Do you know where the Seeking Truth Realm is?"

Lu Ren was slightly shocked, a bit surprised that Ji Quanzhen mentioned this matter.

"Where?"

Ji Quanzhen chuckled and then said: "Tomorrow let's find a place, chat while we eat?"

"Sure, I'm quite curious about what research results you have, to actually know what the Seeking Truth Realm is."

Lu Ren didn't press further, after all these things couldn't be clearly explained with just a few words on the phone.

That night, Lu Ren rarely skipped his usual practice and instead laid in bed for a good night's sleep.

However, because of his body weight, the mattress was flattened, unable to rebound for a long time, as if being slept on by a tank.

Seems like some new furniture needs to be replaced.

Lu Ren was somewhat speechless, but it couldn't be helped, because his physique had mutated into the Bodhisattva Dharma Body due to several instances of limit breaking, and even the underlying logical structure was deeply transformed under system reinforcement and optimization.

Strictly speaking, Lu Ren has completely transcended the human category until now.

However, regarding this matter, Lu Ren didn't have too many feelings, being a person isn't defined by their physical structure, but felt with the heart.

Following his routine as always, while practicing in the courtyard in the morning, a voice suddenly sounded from the neighbor's courtyard.

"Lu Ren?!"

Lu Ren wasn't surprised, just felt the voice had an unavoidable touch of aging.

Turning his head to look at Li Shu, dressed like a charming lady, with a little girl beside her, appeared well-maintained, looking like she's just over thirty.

But Lu Ren knew, she's at least over forty, might go back a few more years.

"Seems like you've neglected the Martial Path quite a bit, otherwise you wouldn't need external methods for skin care."

Li Shu felt a bit awkward hearing this, didn't expect after so many years, Lu Ren is still the same straight guy.

"At such an age, why toil hard in Martial Path every day, I've prepared to pass the Phoenix Extreme Fist to my daughter, but I often practice the Fist Technique, haven't neglected it!"

Little progress over time huh.

Lu Ren didn't comment: "Nowadays, with changing world circumstances, the Martial Arts Association keeps promoting practicing martial arts for personal safety, if one day you encounter danger, you won't even have the right to fight back."

Li Shu said: "It's been so many years, what danger could there be."

"The world is unpredictable, you just don't know how many people secretly sacrifice their lives for overall stability."

"...Can't really expect ivory to come out of your mouth." Li Shu was a bit speechless, hardly seeing a familiar face for years, didn't expect to be sharply criticized right upon meeting.

"I thought you hadn't been here for a long time, I figured you were dead."

Lu Ren was also somewhat speechless hearing this: "You're not better off either."

Li Shu sized up Lu Ren, couldn't help but exclaim: "Over a decade, your appearance hasn't changed."
