Chapter 637 368: It Turned Out to Be the Immortal Realm

After hearing the Carefree Immortal Venerable's story, Zhao Rui had a general understanding of the situation.

But regardless of how the Immortal Realm had developed, that was all a matter of the previous epoch.

This epoch, or rather, the Blue Star of this era, was definitely not their Immortal Realm's Ancient Star.

Or perhaps, the Ancient Star was another planet entirely.

However, none of this had much to do with Zhao Rui.

He only cared about the safety of his Blue Star.

Just as their conversation ended and Zhao Rui was about to lead everyone away, a golden light suddenly burst forth from the Carefree Immortal Venerable.

It instantly enveloped everyone present.

Then, with a flash of gold, not a single trace of them could be seen on the starry expanse.

...

The morning dew shimmered at first light as a few droplets rolled off the leaves of the dense forest.

DRIP.

One landed squarely on a man's forehead.

The man opened his bleary eyes, wiped the water from his brow, and dazedly sat up.

'Where is this?'

He groggily scanned his surroundings. His gaze gradually sharpened, and clarity returned to his eyes.

'How did I get here?'

He hastily got to his feet, his Force coiled but not unleashed as he warily surveyed the area.

All around him were towering trees, their trunks entwined with vines as thick as a man's arm. The vines coiled and twisted, resembling green serpents.

Between the trees grew all sorts of strange and exotic low-lying plants.

Some had layered, curling petals, the outer ones a pale, rosy pink, with a crystal-clear, bead-like pistil nestled at the core.

Others had petals with wide gaps between them, and when the breeze blew, they would shed a dusting of pale golden pollen onto the broad leaves below.

The branches of the surrounding flora were not the brown of ordinary wood but a soft, jade-green color. Fine silver patterns grew on the bark, winding their way up the boughs.

Strings of translucent flower buds hung from the boughs. Unopened, they looked as if they were carved from white jade, faintly emitting a warm, soft glow from within.

'What is this?'

'This isn't Blue Star, nor is it any other planet I know.'

The man's eyes narrowed. He reflexively released his Divine Thought to scan the area far beyond.

But as he released it, an invisible pressure descended, forcefully compressing his Divine Thought Power to a range of only a few thousand li.

Although it was only that far, it was more than enough for him.

Because within his Divine Thought, he saw the person he was looking for: the Carefree Immortal Venerable.

Without a second thought, the man flickered and vanished from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already beside the Carefree Immortal Venerable.

"S-Sir!"

The Carefree Immortal Venerable had also just awoken from his stupor, and before he could even process what had happened, he saw a figure appear before him.

He knew this figure all too well. It was the great power from the Ancient Star who had thrashed him.

Zhao Zhenren!

"What in the world happened? Where are we?" Zhao Rui asked in a low voice.

"Sir, let me see."

The Carefree Immortal Venerable hurriedly scanned their surroundings while also sending out his Divine Soul to investigate.

Soon, his face turned deathly pale. "Sir, we've arrived in the Immortal Realm. The true Immortal Realm."

"The Immortal Realm? The last one standing that connects the universe?"

"Precisely! This is the genuine Immortal Realm, the one that recuperated for hundreds of millions of years. It is also my homeland," the Carefree Immortal Venerable said, his expression strange.

He already knew in his heart that they had returned to one of the floating continents of the Immortal Realm, but he didn't hide it.

Nor did he want to.

After all, he truly acknowledged Zhao Rui's power.

'Now that I'm back on my own turf, why can't I use this to my advantage?'

'It's not like he has anywhere else to go, anyway.'

"I'm asking *how* we got here," Zhao Rui asked gravely.
