Welcome to Blue Star, Empress

"Beep! Beep!"

Half-asleep, Lin Fan vaguely heard the sound of car horns by his ears.

But that should have been impossible. Hundreds of years ago, he had already transmigrated to the Immortal-Demon Continent. It was impossible for him to hear car horns.

That was what Lin Fan thought, yet the honking by his ears continued without pause, accompanied now and then by the roar of cars speeding past.

Filled with doubt, he slowly opened his eyes, climbed to his feet from the dark, shadowy alley, and walked step by step toward the light at its end.

The moment he stepped out of the alley, the sight before him made his expression change. His eyes widened in disbelief.

Before him was no longer the towering demon palace he knew, nor an ethereal immortal palace, but rows upon rows of soaring skyscrapers.

Beneath the night sky, lights glittered brightly. Crowds flowed through the streets while cars raced past, forming the magnificent scene of a bustling modern city.

He was back...!

After hundreds of years, he had returned to his familiar homeland—Blue Star!

In his memories, he and the Empress of the Immortal Realm had fought a decisive battle. During their clash, they accidentally shattered the void and both fell into a spatial rift, losing consciousness afterward.

Now, it seemed that he had returned to Blue Star by chance through that rift.

Since he had returned to Blue Star, then she was here too...?!

At that thought, Lin Fan turned and looked toward the dark alley behind him.

Just then, the moon slipped out from behind the clouds, its pure silver light illuminating the black alley.

In the narrow alley, a woman dressed in flowing immortal robes lay quietly on the ground, her beauty capable of toppling cities.

Her skin was fair as snow, her features exquisitely delicate, and her ink-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. There was an unworldly immortal aura and heroic bearing between her brows. Under the moonlight, her tranquil elegance resembled an exiled immortal in an ink painting.

This woman was none other than his mortal enemy, the Empress of the Immortal Realm—Empress Long Yue!

In her sleep, Long Yue's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her eyelids trembled as she slowly opened her eyes. When she looked up, she saw Lin Fan standing before her.

"Oh, you're awake."

Lin Fan gave an awkward smile and raised a hand in greeting.

Long Yue froze for a moment. Once she came to her senses, she immediately sprang up and rapidly formed hand seals.

"Demon Supreme!!! Die!"

"Wait! This Venerable advises you not to attack yet. First, look at where we are."

Lin Fan hurriedly raised a hand to stop her, then turned and pointed toward the bustling city behind him.

Long Yue followed the direction of Lin Fan's finger, and her beautiful face instantly filled with shock.

Buildings unlike anything she had ever seen stood densely packed together, rising one after another into the clouds. Some were even taller than the immortal palaces of her realm. Strange metal carriages sped along the roads, while the pedestrians wore bizarre clothing.

"W-Where is this...?"

"Empress, this is no longer the Immortal-Demon Continent you know. This is another new world—Blue Star!"

Standing at the mouth of the alley with his back to the thriving city, Lin Fan curled his lips into a teasing smile and spread his arms in welcome.

"Another new world? Blue Star...?"

Long Yue looked utterly unconvinced. Then her brows drew together, and her expression turned cold and murderous.

"So what if we have come to another world! This Empress's mission will not change!"

"Demon Supreme! Even here, this Empress will stake her life on killing you!"

With that, Long Yue formed hand seals and shouted angrily:

"Immortal Technique: Azure Moon Silver Dragon!"

"..."

After her furious shout, the alley remained perfectly silent. Nothing happened. Long Yue's hands stayed frozen awkwardly in midair in the gesture of her spell, and even the air seemed to congeal.

If you can't find a book by searching its title, try searching for the author. It may have simply been renamed!

Lin Fan stood motionless before Long Yue, his expression utterly calm, though he could barely hold back his laughter.

Hearing the commotion, passersby on the street craned their heads over to look, covering their mouths as they snickered.

"Hey, look. What are those two doing in that alley?"

"The clothes they're wearing are way too weird."

"I know this—cosplay! Young people these days love playing around like that."

"Oh! So they're role-playing!"

"Tsk, a lone man and woman hiding in an alley late at night, dressed like that... Society really is going downhill. How disgraceful!"

"..."

Long Yue had no mind to spare for the people gathering around her. Instead, she stared at her own hands in horror.

"How is this possible? Why can't this Empress cast her immortal technique?!"

The moment she spoke, the spiritual power in her body was instantly drained away. Her entire body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

Only after carefully examining herself did she discover to her horror that the spiritual power within her was nearly depleted!

One had to know that spiritual power was the foundation of a cultivator. Every immortal technique a cultivator practiced, every magic artifact they activated, and even the strength of their body were all sustained by the spiritual power running through their meridians.

Without spiritual power, forget immortal techniques—even basic flight through the air would be impossible. She would be no different from an ordinary mortal!

"You... what did you do to this Empress, Demon Supreme?!"

Long Yue clenched her pearly teeth and glared resentfully at Lin Fan.

In her eyes, the Demon Supreme must have done something to her while she was unconscious, causing her to lose all her spiritual power.

"Empress, that is a bit of a false accusation against this Venerable."

"This Venerable has not done anything to you yet."

Lin Fan spread his hands, looking innocent.

Long Yue's brows turned cold. "Then why has this Empress lost all the spiritual power in her body and become unable to sense the spiritual power of heaven and earth?!"

"You lost the spiritual power in your body because there was not much left to begin with. Just now, you forcibly tried to activate an immortal technique, so naturally you drained what remained."

"As for why you cannot sense the spiritual power of heaven and earth, the reason is simple."

"Because the spiritual power of heaven and earth in this world is extremely thin—so thin that it practically does not exist. This Venerable cannot sense it either."

Lin Fan reached out and tried to gather the spiritual power of heaven and earth, but he could not sense the slightest fluctuation. The world was as silent and lifeless as a stagnant pool.

The moment he confirmed that he had returned to Blue Star, the first thing he did was try to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. In the end, he sensed nothing at all.

He immediately understood that the spiritual power of heaven and earth on Blue Star was negligible!

He had actually expected this long ago. If Blue Star's spiritual power of heaven and earth had been abundant, no cultivators could have failed to appear for tens of thousands of years...

"A world without spiritual power of heaven and earth... H-How could that be possible...?!"

Long Yue's face went pale with fright, and a trace of fear appeared deep in her eyes.

She would rather believe that the Demon Supreme was deliberately deceiving her than accept that this was a world without spiritual power of heaven and earth.

But the truth was that, with no restrictions placed upon her, no matter how many times she tried to sense the world around her, she truly could not detect even a trace of spiritual power!

And the little spiritual power she had left had just been exhausted in her moment of impulsiveness...

Without spiritual power, she was now no different from a mortal. Did that not make her a lamb waiting to be slaughtered...?

Worse still, she had fallen into the Demon Supreme's hands!

At that thought, Long Yue raised her eyes and looked tremblingly at Lin Fan before her. The corners of Lin Fan's lips lifted slightly as he gave her a bright, meaningful smile.

"Welcome to Blue Star, Empress~"
