Chapter 1370 A prison
The feeling of being watched did not last long, and faded, as if it lost interest. Why wouldn't it? Based on all appearances, both Lex and the turtle were in the mortal realm. Because that completely made sense. It was a very common thing for mortals to teleport on an interstellar scale without suffering any harm. Why wouldn't they? It was not as if their physiques were so weak that the pressures of such travel would destroy them.
Sarcasm aside, mortals really could travel the universe as long as they used the golden keys of the Inn. Yet others could not know that.
Such an obvious loophole should have aroused greater suspicion from anyone scrutinizing them, yet since the turtle wished for his camouflage to be perfect, it was, and mere immortals could not see through it, or even conceive the idea that there was something amiss.
This was only the first step in the turtle's plan.
Lex, on the other hand, viewed the interface to see the details of the planet they had teleported to.
Planet: Zuri
Planet Rating: 5.5 Star
Planet Environment: Extremely fertile, extremely hungry, extremely dangerous
Planet Galaxy: Adissa
Lex froze, blinked, and read again. The planet was Zuri, and the galaxy was Adissa. Either the clover he was familiar with took her name arbitrarily, or her existence and influence was closely connected to the entire galaxy.
Eventually, they reached the base of the valley. Lex did not know what to expect, but he certainly wasn't expecting a simple meadow. There were no grand structures, no towering trees, no ancient glories.
Just a simple meadow with a few fruit trees here and there, and wildflowers all around.
The turtle hummed, as if appreciating the place, though Lex was utterly incapable of determining what was so special about this place. It seemed like any other meadow.
Then again, the very fact that he could not see through it revealed just how special it really was.
The path continued under their feet, so they continued walking, all the way to the center of the meadow, where Lex saw something unbelievable.
Right in the middle was a small, inconsequential four leaf clover, looking no different from any other clover he had ever seen.
If all signs had not been pointing towards the fact that this was Zuri, he would not have believed that such a small thing could be a Celestial Immortal! Didn't all things grow bigger and grander as their cultivation developed?
"Welcome," Zuri spoke into their minds, her voice soft and gentle. "You are the first beings to see me in person in... a very long time. It feels very different to be able to see people in person, and not through a clone."
"Silly clover," the turtle said with gentleness in his voice Lex had never heard before. "Plants are meant to grow in a garden, not in a prison."
A thought flashed through Lex's mind, and he looked up. Though the mist still blocked his view, he could still recall what the sky above looked like. An endless rainbow covered the sky, from horizon to horizon, and though it looked beautiful, it also felt... suffocating.
Who the hell was holding Zuri Adissa, a Celestial Immortal, prisoner? Could it be a Dao Lord?
