Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2015: Palace Master’s Might

After Yan Muyu, Lu Liyu and the other women stepped forward with smiles to exchange greetings with Fang Bai one by one.

Next came the high-ranking members of the Emperor’s Palace, Fang Bai’s relatives and friends, as well as a few disciples.

"Palace Master, during the three years you’ve been away, the Emperor’s Palace has recruited quite a few new disciples with good aptitude and character! Upon hearing the legends about you, each of them is full of admiration and sees you as an idol. Now, why don’t you say a few words to them? Let them glimpse the elusive Palace Master who is like a dragon that appears and disappears at will!"

Xuan Feng Venerable pointed to the crowd of a hundred thousand Emperor’s Palace disciples around and said to Fang Bai.

Fang Bai nodded, leaping onto a three-feet high stone platform in the center of the square. His gaze swept around, seeing that everyone’s eyes were focused on him, he then said aloud, "Some of you here may not recognize me, but you must have heard of me... Yes, I am Fang Bai, the first Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace!"

When Fang Bai left three years ago, the Emperor’s Palace already had tens of thousands of disciples, and all of these disciples had met Fang Bai and knew the cultivation techniques they were practicing were taught by Fang Bai.

They had even heard from the high-ranking members of the palace that the rich cultivation resources currently available at the Emperor’s Palace were mostly earned by the Palace Master.

In their eyes, Fang Bai was not only the founding ancestor who established the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace but also their mentor who imparted teachings to them.

Nowadays, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace was flourishing, becoming the top sect in the three thousand grand worlds. Its fame spread far and wide, continually attracting cultivators eager to join, with genius disciples emerging like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

All this was almost entirely attributed to Palace Master Fang Bai.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of disciples who had joined earlier regarded Fang Bai as divine, capable of turning the decay into miracles, deserving of their reverence and worship.

Thus, as soon as Fang Bai finished speaking, the tens of thousands of disciples who had joined the Emperor’s Palace earlier erupted in thunderous cheers, their emotions soaring.

And the disciples who had joined the Emperor’s Palace after Fang Bai left were also infected by this atmosphere, joining everyone in applause and cheers.

Although the newly joined disciples had never seen Fang Bai before, they often heard tales of the Palace Master’s wonders from around them, instilling a sense of awe in their hearts.

Now, seeing Fang Bai in person, they were surprised to see that the Palace Master, who had founded the Emperor’s Palace, was so young, appearing at most to be a charming youth of seventeen or eighteen years.

Could such a young Palace Master truly possess the incredible powers as rumored? Could he really command the allegiance of a hundred thousand cultivators?

Fang Bai’s gaze swept over the faces of the Emperor’s Palace disciples gathered all around.

From the expressions of some newly joined disciples, he saw some confusion and doubt, knowing that if he didn’t display some extraordinary skills, the new disciples might think his reputation as Palace Master was somewhat undeserved.

Thus, Fang Bai’s eyes sparkled with vigor, his aura surged around him, and his pressure emanated, enveloping all around.

The hundred thousand Emperor’s Palace disciples were immediately engulfed by the pressure Fang Bai released, feeling as though a massive stone weighed down on their backs, making breathing arduous and striking terror in their hearts.

Even Xuan Feng Venerable and Fairy Xuanbing, both strong cultivators at the ninth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation, felt the pressure and had to circulate their cultivation techniques, forming a defense qi shield around them to counter Fang Bai’s pressure.

"Palace Master, your gains from this excursion are considerable! With the cultivation level at the eighth stage of the Heavenly Tribulation, able to contend with a Half-Immortal Rank expert, your combat prowess is unmatched!"

Xuan Feng Venerable said with admiration.

Flood Dragon Venerable laughed, "Xuan Feng, you’re mistaken! The Palace Master’s cultivation level not only allows him to contend with a Half-Immortal Rank expert but also to suppress them! When the Palace Master released his pressure just now, I even felt like I was about to suffocate!"

Xuan Feng Venerable exclaimed, "Ah, does this mean, in terms of combat prowess, the Palace Master is already the strongest in the three thousand grand worlds?"

Flood Dragon Venerable nodded, "Indeed!"

Xuan Feng Venerable’s face lit up with joy, and he cupped his hands and bowed to Fang Bai, saying, "Congratulations, Palace Master! Felicitations, Palace Master!"

Their conversation spread to the ears of the hundred thousand Emperor’s Palace disciples gathered around, filling every Emperor’s Palace disciple with boiling blood and surging emotions.

If the Palace Master is the strongest in the three thousand grand worlds, then naturally, as disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, they would share in the glory. No matter where they go in the future, declaring their identity as Emperor’s Palace disciples, who would dare to provoke them?

Fang Bai demonstrated his power, and the hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were all in awe.

Especially the disciples who had joined in the past three years, each was full of joy and enthusiasm, grateful for their decision to join the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.

The Emperor’s Palace, with a young and powerful Palace Master like Fang Bai and numerous high-ranking members, including a Half-Immortal Rank expert like Flood Dragon Venerable, and with a hundred thousand energetic and diligent disciples, had an immeasurable future.

"On this expedition with Elder Flood Dragon, we obtained abundant cultivation resources, enough for our one hundred thousand disciples to use for a full sixty years of cultivation. Moreover, we discovered several spirit stone veins, which at the very least, can be mined for over forty years. As such, our Emperor’s Palace won’t need to worry about cultivation resources for the next century!"

At this point, Fang Bai waved his hand and said loudly, "Now I announce: in three days, the hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace will gather here. At that time, I will distribute cultivation resources and explicate the Dao of Cultivation!"

"Palace Master mighty!"

As Fang Bai’s voice fell, it immediately incited a crescendo of cheers among the hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace.

Now, the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were all cultivating the Immortal Rank cultivation techniques left by Fang Bai. Although these techniques, being taught and clarified by Fang Bai, had become very straightforward and easy to understand, there were still many points incomprehensible to them.

Many junior disciples of the Emperor’s Palace had been eagerly waiting for the Palace Master to return and explain the cultivation techniques to them but were worried that once the Palace Master returned, he would be too busy with other matters and would neglect them, the juniors.

After all, in other sects, junior disciples rarely had the opportunity to hear the sect leader personally explain the Dao of Cultivation. When such occasions did happen, it was usually left to the elders of the sect to handle.

Now, with Palace Master Fang Bai personally promising to explain the Dao of Cultivation to all the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace in three days and distribute cultivation resources, it was a rare opportunity that was hard to come by, leaving the hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace overjoyed.

After a lively moment on the square in front of the mountain gate with the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, Fang Bai and the high-ranking members of the palace headed towards the Palace Master Hall, while the disciples dispersed in groups of twos and threes.

The majority of them returned directly to their residences, conserving energy and preparing for the day three days hence.

Fairy Xuanbing and Xuan Feng Venerable, aware of the spiritual energy Fang Bai and Flood Dragon Venerable likely expended during their journey, provided a quick update on the affairs of the Emperor’s Palace in the Palace Master Hall, then signaled to the others with a glance, leaving together.

Thus, only Fang Bai and the close women of Lu Liyu remained in the hall.
