Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2003: Return to the Emperor’s Palace
The space rings of tens of thousands of fallen powerhouses and the Thunder Spirit Stone vein beneath Burial Artifact Peak are Fang Bai’s main objectives for returning to the Leiyun Mountain Range.
In his mind, if he can bring all those cultivation resources back to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, they would be enough for the sect’s disciples to cultivate for several decades.
Currently, the Leiyun Mountain Range, due to the ascension of the Ziyi Immortal and the collapse of Burial Artifact Peak, no longer presents an apocalyptic scene of dark clouds and crashing thunder.
Although due to the Thunder Spirit Stone vein, lightning snakes still dart through the mountains, they pose no threat to Fang Bai and his companions.
"Everyone spread out, go collect the space rings of those fallen powerhouses!"
Upon arriving near Burial Artifact Peak, Fang Bai left these words to Fairy Xuanbing and the others and then flew above the collapsed peak to inspect the Thunder Spirit Stone vein.
The Thunder Spirit Stones, originally covered by the mountain of Burial Artifact Peak, were exposed to daylight after its collapse, emanating dazzling and radiant purple electric light.
"This Thunder Spirit Stone vein should have a reserve of around ten million, though not much, it’s enough given that not many at the Emperor’s Palace cultivate Thunder Techniques."
Thinking this, Fang Bai gently waved his left hand, and in the flickering light of the Five Elements Space Ring, a large quantity of Thunder Spirit Stones was absorbed into it.
Even the spiritual artifacts scattered over the ages around Burial Artifact Peak were not spared by Fang Bai, as he collected them into the Five Elements Space Ring as well.
Most of these spiritual artifacts are of the royal superior grade. As the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace now has tens of thousands of disciples, some with inadequate spiritual artifacts requiring refurbishment, and with anticipated future growth in disciples, having these spiritual artifacts means Fang Bai won’t need to forge one for each in the future.
At the same time, Fairy Xuanbing, Flood Dragon Venerable, and others dispersed to carefully collect space rings from tens of thousands of fallen powerhouses.
Although their space rings are not large, one ring can accommodate thousands of rings from fallen powerhouses without issue.
Thus, they had collected almost all of the tens of thousands of space rings together, with the remainder casually absorbed by Fang Bai into the Five Elements Space Ring.
"This trip to the Leiyun Mountain Range wasn’t in vain, though we didn’t obtain the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill, we’ve gotten so many cultivation resources! With these resources, the overall strength of the Emperor’s Palace will undoubtedly have a huge leap in the near future!"
Fang Bai said with a smile.
Although not acquiring the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill was slightly regrettable, it would only benefit him and Dongfang Ruhua, benefiting too few of the Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Yet the large haul of cultivation resources can supply the entire Emperor’s Palace for cultivation, undeniably more beneficial, sufficiently compensating for that slight regret in Fang Bai’s heart.
After collecting a million Thunder Spirit Stones and tens of thousands of spatial rings, Fang Bai released two clusters of Spiritual Fire, cremating the tens of thousands of powerhouses that had fallen around Burial Artifact Peak, then the group of eight departed with ease.
Since all the powerhouses gathered at the Leiyun Mountain Range had fallen at the hands of the Ziyi Immortal, with no survivors, and their bodies turned to dust, the reason for the collapse of the Burial Artifact Peak became an unsolvable mystery in the future of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Three months later, Fang Bai and the group of eight returned to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.
Sensing their presence, Xuan Feng Venerable and others led nearly ten thousand disciples of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace to welcome them from a hundred miles away.
Upon meeting, a round of greetings was inevitable.
"Sister Qin, you’ve finally returned!"
"Yaorao, you look a bit slimmer than before! But even more beautiful!"
"Haha, welcome back, Miss Qin!"
"Eh? Isn’t this Sister Qingqing?"
"Brother Fang found both Sister Qin and Sister Qingqing on this trip!"
"We’re finally having a reunion! Wonderful!"
"We must celebrate properly!"
"I agree!"
...
Hundreds of disciples from the secular and minor worlds, seeing Qin Yaorao and Liu Qingqing returning safely, were both delighted and excited, surrounding the two and cheering unrestrainedly.
Xia Chenyu knew that Xuan Feng Venerable, Lu Liyu, and others were meeting Qin Yaorao and Liu Qingqing for the first time and weren’t familiar with them, so she stepped up to introduce both sides.
Xuan Feng Venerable, seasoned and shrewd, immediately saw the relationship between Qin Yaorao and Fang Bai, and similarly to Lu Liyu and others, Liu Qingqing also seemed to have a fondness for him.
"The Palace Master is surrounded by beauties, truly blessed!"
Xuan Feng Venerable winked at Fang Bai and laughed, saying, "Heh heh."
Fang Bai laughed heartily, pointed at him saying, "You disrespectful Supreme Elder! I’ll tell you, from now on in this Emperor’s Palace, you have competitors! Fairy Xuanbing and Flood Dragon Venerable are no weaker than you! If they end up with Immortal Artifacts, they might surpass you!"
Xuan Feng Venerable replied indifferently: "Surpass then surpass! The more powerful the members of our Emperor’s Palace, the happier this venerable is! Ideally, the top disciple of the Emperor’s Palace will surpass this venerable! Then our Emperor’s Palace will be the number one Super Sect in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!"
Fairy Xuanbing, with her aloof and proud nature, stood silently aside without a word, while everyone else was absorbed in joy and excitement.
Xuan Feng Venerable, noticing her, rolled his eyes and took the initiative to chat with her.
Though Fairy Xuanbing ignored Xuan Feng Venerable entirely, not even glancing at him, Xuan Feng Venerable neither got angry nor showed any embarrassment, kept a smiling face, and continued to chatter incessantly.
Though it was their first meeting, Flood Dragon Venerable and Xuan Feng Venerable found themselves on good terms after a few exchanges, calling each other brothers, appearing as old friends for years.
"Palace Master, have you noticed? Xuan Feng Venerable seems somewhat interested in Fairy Xuanbing!"
Flood Dragon Venerable, noticing Xuan Feng Venerable paying eager court to Fairy Xuanbing, couldn’t help but chuckle and used the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique to tell Fang Bai.
Fang Bai also noticed, replying with a smile, "Fairy Xuanbing and Xuan Feng Venerable, both strong at the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation, one is aloof and proud, keeping people at arm’s length, the other warm-hearted and thick-skinned; they actually suit each other quite well! Hmm, when time allows, let’s matchmake them. If they could become Martial Dao partners, that would be excellent!"
Flood Dragon Venerable thought of Fairy Xuanbing’s "temper" and formidable strength, imagining the future possibility of Xuan Feng Venerable being "bullied" if forming a partnership with her, shivering slightly, then clapping his hands saying, "I also think they are suitable! Let’s matchmake them!"
Over ten thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, led by Fang Bai and others, returned grandly to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.
Everyone chatted and laughed along the way, observing the scenic mountains and waters around, thinking about the Emperor’s Palace now having two new powerful figures of the ninth level of the Heavenly Tribulation, taking another step toward becoming the strongest faction in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, everyone felt vibrant and spirited, brimming with energy.
