The main reason he chose not to return to the Immortal Court for the time being was because of this Half-immortal. If he were to return to the Immortal Court, he wouldn't be able to stay in the Immortal Mansion all the time, as there would always be things that required him to go out. Back at the Immortal Trading Palace, Yuan Qinghong had dared to brazenly set up a Formation to encircle and kill him. The Half-immortal, however, would have even more means and be more covert.
However.
Now that the Xuandan Sect needs a high-level spiritual vein, he will not avoid eating for fear of choking. Instead, he is admonishing himself in his heart to be even more careful than before.
Additionally, for the sake of security, he chose to continue cultivating the Disguise Technique in order to ensure that even if a Half-immortal were to deliberately search, they still wouldn't be able to see through his Shape-changing Divine Ability.
