Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2007: Immortal Qi? Demonic Qi?

From Zhongli Tian, Fang Bai learned that in the past two hundred years, every sixty years, the pressure on Fengmo Peak would weaken for about a month, giving Thunder Tribulation Realm Great Calamity Period experts a chance to ascend Fengmo Peak.

It is said that the wisps of black smoke lingering on Fengmo Peak are actually strands of Immortal Qi, thus cultivating on the peak allows one to progress rapidly and achieve unexpected results.

Initially, many cultivators from the Three Thousand Great Worlds were skeptical about this, but later, it was confirmed that many cultivators from the Three Thousand Great Worlds had indeed enhanced their cultivation level and greatly increased their strength after cultivating diligently on Fengmo Peak for over a month.

This outcome confirmed the wonders of Fengmo Peak, and many cultivators thought that even if the wisps of black smoke weren’t Immortal Qi, they must be extremely pure and dense Spiritual Energy.

Cultivators from the Three Thousand Great Worlds typically refer to areas rich in Spiritual Energy, suitable for cultivation, and capable of rapidly enhancing one’s cultivation level as "Cultivation Holy Lands," to which they are drawn.

After the reputation of Fengmo Peak spread, it attracted a great deal of interest among the cultivators of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Every time the pressure around Fengmo Peak weakened, hundreds of thousands of experts would rush to the scene to ascend the peak and cultivate.

"If I’d known Fengmo Peak had Immortal Qi and was a Cultivation Holy Land, I wouldn’t have stayed in the Land of Extreme North for so long! Sigh, I wasted so much time for nothing!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The Flood Dragon Venerable, who had been staying by Jade Lake in the Land of Extreme North and was unaware of what was happening at Fengmo Peak on the Eastern Desolate Continent, couldn’t help stomping his feet repeatedly and showing a face of regret upon hearing Zhongli Tian’s words.

Fang Bai said nothing, silently observing Fengmo Peak, not showing any joy, but rather appearing somewhat grave.

"Palace Master, what’s wrong? Is something amiss?"

The Flood Dragon Venerable noticed Fang Bai’s strange expression and couldn’t help but recall the events at the Leiyun Mountain Range, where tens of thousands of cultivators had gathered around Burial Artifact Peak to obtain the Thunder Essence Immortal Pill.

The result of that event was the appearance of the Ziyi Immortal, causing the death of tens of thousands of cultivators at Burial Artifact Peak, and even they narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the Ziyi Immortal.

At that time, Fang Bai had already felt a bad omen before the Ziyi Immortal appeared, wearing a solemn expression, similar to the one he had now.

This is why the Flood Dragon Venerable asked this question; if there was any hidden danger under Fengmo Peak, he and Fang Bai would need to quickly distance themselves to avoid being caught off guard when danger arose.

Zhongli Tian and the others, hearing this, also looked at Fang Bai, their eyes filled with questions.

They were secretly eager, preparing to ascend Fengmo Peak ahead of others as soon as the pressure around it lessened to secure a favorable position for cultivation, not noticing anything amiss.

"Immortal Qi... how can that black smoke be the Immortal Qi..."

Fang Bai murmured to himself, his expression growing more grave.

In his view, the wisps of black smoke around Fengmo Peak were neither Spiritual Energy nor Immortal Qi, but Demonic Qi.

Immortal Qi is necessary for an immortal’s cultivation, while Demonic Qi is required by a demon.

In comparison, Immortal Qi is grand and magnificent, whereas Demonic Qi is sinister and vicious. Yet the present cultivators of the Three Thousand Great Worlds had never encountered Demonic Qi and were unaware of its dangers.

Fang Bai’s Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, having tasted the blood of countless cultivators in its present and past lives, could release intense Evil Qi, which bore some similarity to the Evil Qi contained within Demonic Qi, but lacked its sinister nature.

Moments earlier, Fang Bai had released his Divine Sense, attempting to explore the interior of Fengmo Peak to ascertain whether a legendary demon was suppressed within. However, upon coming into contact with the wisps of Demonic Qi lingering around the peak, his Divine Sense was instantly blocked.

Fang Bai realized that with his current cultivation level not being high and his Divine Sense not strong enough, he couldn’t break through the blockade of Demonic Qi, leaving him no choice but to retract his Divine Sense.

"Look quickly at Fengmo Peak!"

At that moment, someone suddenly raised their hand, shouting while pointing toward Fengmo Peak.

The gaze of the cultivators present followed the direction of the pointing, and they saw five mysterious characters, inscribed on the five massive fingers forming Fengmo Peak, faintly emitting radiance.

The brilliance flashed and disappeared quickly, and then the cultivators instantly felt the pressure on them significantly lessen, as if a weight had been lifted.

"The pressure is lessening; it’s time to ascend Fengmo Peak!"

"A chance like this, once every sixty years, must not be missed!"

"Whether our cultivation level can advance further depends on this opportunity!"

"Here’s hoping for a smooth journey!"

...

The scene suddenly became lively with tens of thousands of experts.

Most of the experts situated over a Baili away from Fengmo Peak started to move forward, wanting to get even closer to Fengmo Peak.

With their cultivation level, they couldn’t ascend Fengmo Peak and cultivate on its summit, but getting closer to the peak, even receiving a trace of Immortal Qi, was considered an opportunity for them.

The thousands of Thunder Tribulation Realm Great Calamity Period experts within a Baili of Fengmo Peak also began flying forward, hoping to secure a good position for cultivation.

Although the pressure from Fengmo Peak had greatly lessened, those Thunder Tribulation Realm Great Calamity experts still couldn’t fly using Spiritual Artifacts and could only glide close to the ground.

"Palace Master, should we go too?"

The Flood Dragon Venerable seemed somewhat tempted, but seeing Fang Bai unmoving, he didn’t dare to act rashly.

Fang Bai said, "Let’s... wait and see."

Zhongli Tian, Hua Yanqing, Gu Feng, and the others knew Fang Bai’s cultivation level was not as high as theirs, but he possessed various secret techniques and extraordinary combat strength. Seeing Fang Bai not in a hurry to climb Fengmo Peak, they also refrained from hastily advancing.

Fang Bai’s gaze was like lightning as he watched thousands of Thunder Tribulation Realm Great Calamity Period experts climbing toward Fengmo Peak, their bodies gradually enveloped by the black smoke on the peak, causing his brows to furrow deeply.

In Fang Bai’s opinion, if indeed a demon was suppressed beneath Fengmo Peak, then with the Demonic Qi seeping out, it suggested that the Five-Character Mantra used to suppress the demon might be losing its potency due to the passage of time.

Fang Bai was well aware of the demon cultivator’s prowess, which is why he hadn’t rushed forward, ensuring that should danger arise, there’d still be a chance to escape unscathed.

The emergence of the Ziyi Immortal from the Leiyun Mountain Range served as a previous instance to learn from.

As the light emitted by the Five-Character Mantra started to fade and disappear, the five mysterious runes, which used supreme mana to suppress a group of powerful demons, also began to wear at an extremely slow rate, their outlines growing increasingly unclear.

However, unless one looked carefully with intent, such changes were difficult to notice.

Fang Bai, observing keenly, understood that once the Five-Character Mantra vanished, the entire Fengmo Peak might collapse, allowing the demon suppressed beneath the peak to reappear in the world, just like the Ziyi Immortal from the Leiyun Mountain Range.

Fortunately, the Demon Realm coexists with the Immortal Realm as one of the higher realms, so demon cultivators are also subject to the restrictions of the world in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Within a hundred breaths, they must return to the Demon Realm, unable to wreak large-scale havoc in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Yet, the power of demon cultivators is terrifying; even within those brief hundred breaths, they could cause the demise of ten thousand experts around Fengmo Peak.
