Chương 282: Arrival at the Destination

After leaving Zhao Rui's room, the five immortals assigned tasks: some struck up conversations with the boss, while others wandered around.

The Five Immortals were extraordinary individuals, having cultivated for thousands of years. After a thorough investigation, they gained a fairly comprehensive understanding of the entire ship.

There's something wrong with this ship.

The problem wasn't with the ship, but with the destination; that place called Brookvan Sea was far from peaceful.

Although the place is remote, its remoteness has also led to a chaotic situation, making it a corner that the Light Gods don't pay much attention to. There are frequent battles between planets, and space pirates also roam around.

"Act as Your Excellency commands!"

The First Immortal immediately gave a signal, and soon everyone took their respective roles, using their superb movement techniques to control the main cabins.

The snake-headed monster bird stared in astonishment as the Third Immortal burst into its cabin. The electronic pressure door at the entrance was kicked away by the third immortal, nearly crushing it into a pulp.

"Big brother! Let's talk this out. Is there anything I've done wrong in taking care of you?"

"No!"

"What is it? What do you need? Tell me, and I guarantee I'll arrange it for you."

The Third Immortal shook his head and said, "Hijack the ship!"

Upon hearing this, the snake-headed bird's yellow pupils widened instantly, and it asked incredulously, "Why? I'm just a wrecked ship."

"Because you talk too much!"

The Third Immortal knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike and then dragged him out of the cabin.

At the same time, the passengers from the other cabins were also dragged out and thrown into the main hall of the ship.

"Who are you? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the Gods of Light?"

The passengers were furious and kept shouting.

"The Gods of Light? You mean me?"

As Zhao Rui stepped out of the cabin, his divine aura grew stronger with each step. By the time he reached the main hall of the cabin, he was surrounded by extremely pure divine power of light.

"This, this, I greet the divine messenger!"

"Greetings, Divine Messenger!"

The snake-headed bird knelt down first, kowtowing repeatedly.

Seeing this, the others were even more terrified, barely daring to breathe, and trembling as they lay prostrate on the ground.

"This ship has been requisitioned. Here's a lifeboat for you. Leave on your own."

Zhao Rui said casually.

"Yes, yes, please use it, sir."

The snake-headed bird hurriedly got up, its eyes flashing a fawning smile as it proactively guided the passengers to the location of the lifeboats.

The Third Immortal supervised them from the side.

Once everyone was on the lifeboat, the grotesque snake-headed bird opened its bizarre snake-like head and hissed, "If I had known it was for the adults, I wouldn't have pulled the others along."

"This is none of your business. Get lost. If you leak any information about the master, you'll be in trouble."

"I understand, I understand."

The snake-headed bird shook its head and crawled into the escape pod's cockpit, igniting the plasma energy generator. Accompanied by two dazzling beams of light, it sped away from the spaceship.

After the escape boats left, Zhao Rui instructed everyone to start the spaceship, activate the light-speed engine, and drive away from the area.

The starry sky is vast!

Outside the spaceship, there were fleeting flashes of light and shadow, and an endless expanse of deep space.

Zhao Rui sat cross-legged in the rest cabin, meditating and practicing his breathing exercises.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and no one knew how much time had passed.

As the spaceship gradually slowed down, the entire spacetime was like a broken ice surface, instantly revealing the streams flowing inside.

Zhao Rui suddenly opened his eyes, and time seemed to flow over him instantly.

"Sir, we have arrived at the Brookvan region. There are 362 inhabited planets and over 1, 500 permanent stars in the vicinity."

The First Immortal bowed and explained to Zhao Rui the information about the Brookvan Starfield from the spaceship's database.

"Let's go to the nearest inhabited planet, the Wilderness Star—"

"Yes, sir!"

The First Immortal turned and left the cabin, and the spaceship sped towards the nearest desolate star at one-tenth the speed of light.

In just a short while, the spaceship passed through the thick atmosphere and, like a meteorite, descended towards the surface of the desolate planet.

Startled by the sudden commotion, the creatures on the ground scattered and fled, creating a commotion.

The spaceship slowly landed in a forest. The forest here was different from the one on Blue Star; it was more similar to the plants in the Ruins of the Underworld.

Each tree is incredibly tall, and the continuous forest forms a vast and expansive primeval forest.

Strange and unusual trees can be seen everywhere in the forest, each with its own unique abilities and ways of survival.

The trees here are not the pure plants like those on Earth; they are more like a kind of moving, woody animal.

Some of these plants have even developed limbs that can move like animals.

However, their bodies are definitely made of wood.

As everyone stepped out of the spaceship, a suffocating concentration of oxygen began to permeate their bodies.

After a few breaths, everyone adjusted to the surprisingly high air concentration.

"From now on, this will be my training ground. I will welcome all those in the vicinity who wish to learn from me!"

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he waved his hand, and instantly the dense forest in front of him vanished into thin air, leaving nothing but emptiness.

Only a bare ground remained, as if no plants had ever grown there.

Zhao Rui's actions directly frightened the nearby moving plants.

These plants scattered and fled as if they had been given motors.

Only the original plants, firmly planted on the ground, remained, trembling and shaking.

Upon seeing this, the five immortals hurriedly gathered wood and built a house on the open space that Zhao Rui had cleared.

These five individuals, while lacking the ability to turn stone into gold or create things from thin air, were certainly capable of moving mountains and filling seas, as well as summoning wind and rain.

With such skill, what's so difficult about building a simple house?

In just one afternoon, a decent-looking, all-wood dwelling appeared on the open ground in front of Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui moved in with his bags and nodded in satisfaction.

So, for a period of time afterward, Zhao Rui settled down here.

Although the five immortals did not know what Zhao Rui was doing, they obeyed and approved of his decision. The five of them transformed into woodcutters and fishermen, working in the surrounding open space while practicing the several extraordinary martial arts taught by Zhao Rui.

The days were very peaceful until this day, when the First Immortal brought a humanoid girl.

"I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple."

The girl prostrated herself on the ground and respectfully requested.

"Sure! But I need to measure your reach and bones."

Zhao Rui said it casually.

Upon hearing this, the girl hesitated only briefly before nodding in agreement and obediently extending her arm.

Zhao Rui placed one hand on her head and grabbed her arm with his right hand, and a pure dark energy instantly flowed through her body.

Zhao Rui's soul search also clearly revealed her past.

"They came here as refugees?"

Zhao Rui said calmly.

"Yes, I was originally royalty from this area—" The girl tilted her head slightly, revealing her beautiful face, which Zhao Rui was so proud of.

"There aren't any spare houses here; if you want one, build it yourself."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he closed the spaceship hatch.
