637: I only come here for three things

"Ahem, don't worry about the details!"

Tang Ku gave a light cough to hide his embarrassment and said, "What exactly did you come here for this time? Is it just to mooch a couple of Flat Peaches off me?"

A Bao suddenly narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I came here this time... for only three things, and this... is the first one..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the panda's figure suddenly turned into an afterimage. A faint sound of a Dragon's roar could be heard in the air, and one could even see a faint golden Dragon shadow flash across his body.

Tang Ku's pupils constricted sharply. Everyone present was in a state of bewilderment, and only he could see the panda's movements clearly.

This palm strike contained at least two types of Dao rhymes: one was the Power Law, and the other was the Law of Destruction. Moreover, it was unstoppable and unavoidable!

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his right fist, and struck out at the other's chubby bear paw without any fancy tricks.

Bang...

Dust filled the air, and the shockwave dissipated into nothingness halfway through its release. Two immense forces collided and wore each other down, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The bear paw collided with Tang Ku's slightly slender fist, and they were surprisingly evenly matched, neck and neck!

"Hehe, not bad, very good!"

A Bao retracted his bear paw and said approvingly, "Your strength has improved significantly, but it's still not enough... at least not yet... How about it? Do you want to take a trip to outer space with me? After all, with our current strength, fighting here might destroy the Chang'an City you care so much about!"

Tang Ku smiled slightly: "Good... I also want to have a full-out battle. At the very least, I need to know what kind of gap exists between me and Ge Gang right now!"

"Ge Gang's strength is slightly stronger than mine!"

A Bao shook his head and said, "What you should really be aware of is the gap between you and the Order Lord right now..."

Tang Ku frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then his brows relaxed. He cupped his hands and said, "I have learned much! Hmm, one more question... what should be done with this guy in your hand?"

A Bao said, "Although a Pseudo-Saint has the name of a Saint, they are not all as strong as a real Saint. This guy is just an opportunist. Even if I let him go, he wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble, but, just to be safe..."

Roar!

With a beastly roar and a flash of a huge, bear-shaped shadow, the Pseudo-Saint disappeared from A Bao's hand.

Only Tang Ku could see his movements, and he couldn't help but exclaim in horror, "Holy crap, this... is this thing edible?"

The panda burped and laughed, "For me, it's a great tonic. It just happens to make up for the power I consumed dealing with him, so our strength will be basically equal now..."

Everyone was in an uproar. In the blink of an eye, this panda had actually... eaten the Pseudo-Saint? Did he not even chew? Could he digest the metal armor on his body?

Sun Wukong's mouth twitched: "You're more like a monster than we are!"

The panda looked embarrassed: "I'm just a bit gluttonous... Alright, let's go... See you in outer space!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, the panda's figure had already disappeared.

Yang Jian's pupils constricted: "So fast..."

The monkey also said, "This is thirty percent faster than a full-speed Somersault Cloud. Damn, how does that chubby body manage that?"

Nezha curled his lips and said, "You only saw that the panda is fast, but didn't you see that the Holy Monk is just as fast?"

Only then did everyone realize that at the same time the panda disappeared, the monk was gone too!

"This panda... he said he was gluttonous..." Wu Zhen shivered and said.

"You can tell just by looking at his physique!"

Old Pig laughed bitterly, "It's really rare to see someone fatter than me!"

"That's not what I mean, I'm saying... he eats people just because he's gluttonous. Don't you find that terrifying?" Wu Zhen said in shock.

"Well, we didn't eat fewer people when we were monsters, so we don't feel anything!" Sha Wujing scratched his head and said.

Wu Zhen rolled her eyes speechlessly: "I really shouldn't have become a fellow disciple with you guys... It's too scary!"

In outer space, between the Sun and the Earth, the panda and Tang Ku stood facing each other. A Bao looked Tang Ku over and suddenly smiled: "Did you realize something from 'the classic of mountains and seas'?"

Tang Ku looked at his palm, then couldn't help but say helplessly: "I don't know what I've realized. I just feel like there's a layer of window paper separating me from an Epiphany!"

"Hmm, in that case, you don't seem far from becoming a Saint..." the panda smiled.

"Hmm, before we start fighting, I have a question!" Tang Ku suddenly remembered something and couldn't help asking.

"Go ahead!" the panda laughed, holding his belly.

"Just now, you led me... how did you pass through the Thirty-Sixth Heaven to get to outer space? This distance is protected by a barrier, so how did we just pass through it?" Tang Ku asked.

"Also, on the Earth of the Original Universe, does the Immortal Realm have the same structure? Then why can't people on airplanes, or even astronauts traveling out of Earth, see the existence of the Immortal Realm? But when I flew out in a spaceship, I could see Doushuai Palace floating in the sky?"

"Is this question important?" the panda asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, to me, it's very important!" Tang Ku nodded solemnly.

"The Earth of the Original Universe... there are three!" A Bao smiled.

"One is the original Earth itself, which is the place where Pangu stood, also known as the Human Realm. One is the Netherworld, also known as the underworld. And there is another Earth that belongs exclusively to the Immortal Realm. And each of these three Earths has its own moon for protection... Hmm, you can think of it as folded space..."

Tang Ku suddenly realized: "Then how is the structure of this Earth... different from the Original Universe?"

"In the New Universe, there is only one Earth, with the Immortal Realm above and the underworld inside the Earth, and that's it... This makes it relatively easier to plan and manage, but it also causes certain drawbacks. For example, technology will be temporarily locked in a primitive era and cannot progress, unless the Heavenly Court is breached, and this fixed fate will be changed!" A Bao said.

Tang Ku thought for a moment: "This is the reason why the technological power on Earth is advancing by leaps and bounds now, right? Because the Immortal Realm itself has already been breached by external forces!"

"Spot on!" A Bao snapped his fingers. I don't know how those fat, short fingers managed to snap, but they did!

"Then back to the original question..." Tang Ku seemed to have turned into a baby with an intense thirst for knowledge. He thought for a moment and then said, "How did you break through the original barrier of the Immortal Realm and bring me into outer space?"

"This question... actually, you only need to ask yourself. Because it wasn't me who brought you out, but you yourself, who naturally broke through the barrier and came into outer space!" A Bao laughed.
