Xiao Zhuo looked up and saw a realm sea flying boat, entirely bright silver and shaped like a spaceship from a sci-fi movie in his previous life, slowly descending.

The Female Immortals who had greeted him earlier now rushed towards the flying boat.

Just the energy fluctuations emanating from the flying boat were comparable to a Heavenly Immortal. The identity of the people on board was clearly extraordinary.

The flying boat landed, and a glowing gate opened on its side.

A figure stepped through space and appeared outside the glowing gate. With a wave of his hand, a red carpet was laid out. Sixteen Female Immortals immediately lined up on both sides of the red carpet.

A silver-haired young man and an equally silver-haired young woman walked out from the glowing gate, followed by four black-clad Immortals with profound auras.

Xiao Zhuo raised an eyebrow.

The four individuals behind the young man and young woman were at least Early Stage Profound Immortal powerhouses, and judging by their demeanor, they seemed to be mere attendants to the pair.

"Welcome, Young Lord Yan and Young Miss Yan, to Star Realm Island!" The richly dressed man who had just torn through space quickly bowed and saluted, and the Female Immortals on both sides chanted in unison.

The Young Lord Yan merely nodded slightly at the richly dressed man, while the young woman followed behind, not even glancing at the man.

The two walked out calmly, and a black-clad individual behind them casually tossed out a silver disc.

The disc grew with the wind, instantly transforming into a floating platform five zhang in size.

The young man and young woman stepped onto the platform, and the four black-clad Immortals also took to the air, flying towards the interior of Star Realm Island.

After the group of six disappeared into the inner entrance of Star Realm Island, Xiao Zhuo heard the discussions of the people around him:

"So those are the Young Master and Young Miss from the Ziwei Emperor's family in the Immortal Realm?"

"What a grand display!"

"That's natural, they are the direct Bloodline of a Great Luo family!"

"I heard that the Yan family's Prodigy participated in a Secret Realm competition on the border of the Immortal-Demon Realm and the Ancestral Divine Realm a while ago, killing four Ancestral Divine Realm Prodigies, which caused quite a stir!"

"This Immortal friend's information is truly well-informed!"

Xiao Zhuo took in all these conversations without much thought and also walked towards the interior of Star Realm Island.

As soon as he stepped into the interior of Star Realm Island, Xiao Zhuo felt his vision suddenly broaden, and a surge of Immortal Qi, far richer and purer than that of the realm sea, mixed with complex yet vast energy, washed over him.

What greeted his eyes was not the anticipated pavilions and towers, but a vast space enveloped by a massive Formation, almost forming its own world.

Underfoot was a warm, jade-like ground of Star Radiance Stone, intricately carved with Formation patterns, extending in all directions.

Looking up, it was not the sky, but a deep, ever-changing dome flowing with starlight, as if a small section of the realm sea's starry sky had been cut out and embedded here.

The space was ingeniously divided and superimposed.

At lower elevations were rows of shops and bustling squares.

Pill Pavilions shrouded in Immortal Qi, artifact workshops radiating treasure light, Materials shops filled with Devilish Qi, and even merchant houses bearing the sign "Myriad Realm Rare Treasures" stood side by side, forming streets of flowing light and vibrant colors.

Sales pitches, haggling, Immortal music, and demonic sounds intertwined, creating a strange, vibrant sense of Chaos.

And higher up, large and small floating islands and Immortal palaces of various shapes were suspended.

Some were wreathed in Immortal mist and encircled by spiritual birds. Others had demonic flames rising and bone Dragons coiled. Still others were obscured by hazy Formations, only revealing mysterious and unfathomable auras.

These were clearly exclusive areas for those of noble status or formidable strength.

The silver disc of light, into which the Young Lord Yan's group had transformed, had directly entered a magnificent Immortal palace surrounded by purple nebula in the upper layer.

The flow of people was like a weaving tapestry, with varied forms.

There were Cultivators from the Immortal Realm, arrogant in demeanor, wielding Immortal swords.

There were fierce individuals from the Demon Realm, riding savage bone beasts and exuding violent auras.

There were also visitors from other realms, encased in strange biological carapaces or piloting peculiar mechanical Puppets.

Auras of True Immortals and Heavenly Immortals were ubiquitous, and Xiao Zhuo's keen Divine Sense could even detect a few profound, obscure, and unfathomable fluctuations of powerhouses mixed within.

The air was filled with the exotic fragrance of Spirit Pills, the unique scent of precious Materials, the mellow aroma of fine wine, and also tinged with blood, sulfur, and the pungent smell of certain unknown Immortal plants.

This Star Realm Island truly lived up to its reputation as a chaotic melting pot and a gold-sinking den on the periphery of the Immortal-Demon Realm, where Immortals, demons, monsters, and ghosts achieved a delicate balance, and everything was dictated by strength and wealth.

Xiao Zhuo composed himself. The spatial perception brought by his Universe Extreme Divine Body allowed him to clearly sense that the spatial structure here was exceptionally stable, far surpassing the Blood Demon Realm, indicating that a spatial treasure must be suppressing this space.

Attempting to tear through space for teleportation here would likely consume far more energy than imagined.

He scanned the bustling market below, then glanced at the floating islands and Immortal palaces in the upper layers, quickly calculating his next move.

To obtain recent intelligence from the Demon Realm, this place, where Dragons and snakes mingled, might just be the opportunity.

He quickened his pace, merging into the dazzling, chaotic crowd below, where Immortals and demons danced together, his figure quickly swallowed by the various treasures' light and the clamor.

Mingling with the crowd and wandering in the market for a while, Xiao Zhuo found that most of the goods in the shops here were Medium Grade Earth-Grade to Medium Grade Heaven-Grade, which were of little use to him. Clearly, high-end items would not appear in the lower market and were most likely hidden within the Heavenly Palaces and Demonic Halls above.

Before long, Xiao Zhuo saw a restaurant and walked in.

Of the dozen or so tables in the main hall, only three were occupied at the moment.

He went straight up to the second floor and chose a window seat facing the street.

A young man dressed as a waiter immediately greeted him—Xiao Zhuo could tell at a glance that he was a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

He had already noticed that although most of the greeters at the entrance of Star Realm Island were Quasi-Immortals, not everyone inside was a powerhouse. Cultivators dominated the shops, and True Immortals were extremely rare.

"What would the esteemed guest like to order? Our Wanfu Tower's ten thousand immortals fine brew is a unique specialty of Star Realm Island, would you like to try it?" The young waiter smiled warmly, enthusiastically introducing it, and at the same time handed over a Jade Slip.

Xiao Zhuo took it, and as his Divine Sense entered, a multitude of delicious dishes' menus and prices immediately appeared in his mind, many of which made his mouth water.

Seeing this, the waiter smiled and said, "Is this the esteemed guest's first time on Star Realm Island?"

"Oh? How can you tell?" Xiao Zhuo withdrew his Divine Sense, a look of interest appearing on his face.

"Hehe! Our Wanfu Tower is a well-known name on Star Realm Island! Our Great Master Liu is a famous top Immortal chef on Star Realm Island, and any guest who has been here knows Wanfu Tower. It's quiet now because it's not mealtime yet. Seeing the esteemed guest's expression, I made this guess." The waiter explained with a smile.

"Oh?" Xiao Zhuo raised an eyebrow, not expecting this Wanfu Tower to have such a reputation.

As the two spoke, four or five more guests indeed entered downstairs.

"Waiter! Bring the menu!" A call came from below, and another waiter quickly responded and went over.

Xiao Zhuo didn't pay much attention, smiled politely, ordered a few dishes he was interested in, asked for a pot of ten thousand immortals fine brew, and then dismissed the waiter.

No matter where, restaurants were always good places to inquire about recent major events.

According to the waiter, since this Wanfu Tower had such a reputation, it was likely frequented by powerhouses from the Immortal-Demon Realm, and he might be able to find out about the current situation in the Demon Realm.

If he gained nothing, it wouldn't be too late to ask the waiter.

While waiting for the food, the conversation from the newly arrived Cultivators downstairs drifted up:

"Brother Zou! Why did we rush back this time? You refused to say anything along the way, but now that we're on Star Realm Island, you should tell us, right?!" A young voice said with urgency.

"Ming Zhuo!" A middle-aged voice immediately whispered a warning.

"It's fine, Brother Tang!" Another slightly calmer voice sounded, "This time, our Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss and Blood Prison Abyss are at war. The news has probably already spread throughout the surrounding area!"

"Brother Zou, so you asked us to come back together because you plan to join the demonic army?" The middle-aged voice immediately became serious.
