Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2263: The Immortals Acknowledge Their Master
When the stall owner entered the residence, he activated the Isolation Formation set inside and outside the courtyard, ensuring that whatever he discussed with the middle-aged immortal within the residence would not be detected by outside immortals.
Following behind the middle-aged immortal and the stall owner, over a dozen other stall owners soon passed through the Isolation Formation and entered the residence, indicating their extraordinary relationship.
"Vajra Immortal King, this formation..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The dozen or so immortals who entered the residence later felt the abnormal Immortal Qi within the courtyard and each displayed expressions of surprise.
The immortal named Vajra Immortal King trembled slightly all over, instantly reverting to his true form—a towering, square-faced, broad-mouthed, burly immortal.
The muscles exposed on his body were high and bulging, filled with explosive strength, as if forged from steel, projecting a formidable sense of pressure.
At this moment, he revealed his true cultivation, impressively a Third-grade Immortal King Realm expert.
Vajra Immortal King looked earnestly at the middle-aged immortal and cupped his fists, asking, "I am Vajra Immortal King, a disciple of the Inner Court of the Emperor’s Palace. These are also disciples of the Emperor’s Palace... should I address Immortal Friend as Senior Brother or Junior Brother?"
Earlier at the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market, he noticed a few Immortal Seals that only Emperor’s Palace disciples would recognize, concluding that this was a fellow disciple of the Emperor’s Palace.
However, with a hundred thousand disciples in the former Emperor’s Palace, he was only acquainted with a few, and could only rely on the aura or this method of forming hand seals to identify if someone was a fellow disciple of the Emperor’s Palace.
In his view, the middle-aged immortal’s cultivation is just at First-grade Immortal King Realm, far below his own, yet the middle-aged immortal’s formation prowess far exceeds his, leaving him uncertain about the middle-aged immortal’s status within the Emperor’s Palace.
Additionally, he could ascertain that this fellow disciple had also changed his appearance as he did, otherwise it would be impossible to move even a step in this Immortal Realm dominated by the eight Immortal Emperors’ disciples.
"Senior Brother or Junior Brother? Hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged immortal laughed heartily, then his appearance and demeanor changed drastically. In the blink of an eye, what reappeared before Vajra Immortal King and the dozen immortals was a handsome, ethereal young immortal with concealed divine grace.
"You..."
Vajra Immortal King looked at the young immortal, feeling a touch of familiarity, yet racking his brains, he couldn’t recall where he had seen him.
As for the other dozen Emperor’s Palace disciples, half were Immortal King Realm experts, and half were Immortal Venerable Realm experts. Some immortals among them also found this young immortal seemingly familiar.
"My name is Fang Bai..."
The young immortal named Fang Bai smiled as he walked to a cultivation Immortal Stone in the courtyard, sat cross-legged, and began to slowly explain Immortal Technique Secrets.
After explaining for a moment, several Emperor’s Palace disciples on the scene were already stunned, showing expressions of disbelief.
Fang Bai was currently explaining Immortal Technique Secrets they had been cultivating all along, and these were things originally created by the former Emperor’s Palace Master, then taught to their own masters, who further taught them.
What was shocking to these dozen Emperor’s Palace disciples was that the Immortal Technique Secrets explained by Fang Bai were even simpler and easier to understand than those taught by their masters, as if he had completely comprehended them.
Vajra Immortal King was once fortunate enough to hear the Emperor’s Palace Master explain Immortal Technique Secrets to Inner and External Courtyard disciples in the past. At that time, he felt awe for the Palace Master and only took a quick glance at the Palace Master, vaguely remembering the appearance.
Now, as he dazedly watched Fang Bai continue explaining Immortal Technique Secrets, his eyes widened as the once blurry face from a thousand years ago gradually became clear in his mind.
"Palace Master..."
Vajra Immortal King trembled with excitement, exclaiming loudly. With a "thud," under the stunned gazes of the dozen fellow disciples, he knelt in front of Fang Bai sitting on the Immortal Stone, tears streaming down his face.
"Pal... Palace Master?"
Hearing Vajra Immortal King shout those two words, the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples felt their minds rumble, as a bolt of lightning flashed through.
The next moment, they also bowed down one after another, calling out "Palace Master," trembling with excitement, tears streaming down their faces.
Thousands of years ago, when they first learned of the Palace Master’s fall, the Eight Immortal Emperors led hundreds of thousands of immortals to attack the Emperor’s Palace. At that moment, the hundred thousand Emperor’s Palace disciples harbored great grief and fury, disregarding their lives, and battled the hundreds of thousands of immortals led by the Eight Immortal Emperors, turning the Palace and its grounds into a sea of blood and hell.
In that battle, countless Emperor’s Palace disciples perished but they managed to escape with their lives, protected desperately by their masters.
Since then, they went into hiding, focusing on cultivation, until recent years when they changed their appearance and began their experiences in the Immortal Realm.
They had long believed that the Palace Master had already fallen, steeped in sorrow for years, never imagining they would meet the Palace Master here in Myriad Sword City.
They had no doubts about the authenticity of this Palace Master, for the ability to explain the ten sets of Immortal Technique Secrets they had learned so thoroughly could only be accomplished by the creator of these Immortal Technique Secrets, the Palace Master himself.
Reflecting on how they had mistaken the Palace Master for a fellow senior or junior brother amongst the Emperor’s Palace, Vajra Immortal King felt a wave of fear and shame, uncertain if the Palace Master would be angry.
"Everyone, please rise..."
Fang Bai gestured with both hands and, after Vajra Immortal King and the dozen Emperor’s Palace disciples stood up, he gazed at each of them in turn and nodded, saying, "It’s good that you’re all still alive..."
He knew Vajra Immortal King and the Emperor’s Palace disciples must have many questions, such as where he was during his millennia of supposed death, or why his cultivation was only at First-grade Immortal King Realm. Therefore, he organized his thoughts and briefly shared the story of how he reincarnated in the mortal world and eventually returned to the Immortal Realm.
"My current cultivation is not enough to lead you in revenge against the Eight Immortal Emperors, so I can only continue to quietly cultivate to enhance my strength. However, it’s still possible to cause some trouble for the subordinate forces of the Eight Immortal Emperors... By the way, the Immortal Stone Vein outside Myriad Sword City, was that your handiwork?"
At this point, Fang Bai glanced with a smile at Vajra Immortal King and the Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Among these dozen Emperor’s Palace disciples, nearly half were Immortal King Realm experts. Coupled with Vajra Immortal King’s Third-grade Immortal King cultivation, with meticulous planning and sudden attacks, it was indeed achievable.
"Reporting to the Palace Master, it was carried out by us dozen!"
Vajra Immortal King scratched his head and said, "That Immortal Stone Vein yielded a significant amount, but its protection wasn’t very strong. And we’ve been lacking cultivation resources recently, so we came up with the idea. We planned for a long time, formulized a thorough plan, and after a thunderous strike, we succeeded. Heh heh..."
Fang Bai said, "I heard that the Immortal Stone Vein has a considerable reserve, how did you manage to take away millions of Immortal Stones?"
Vajra Immortal King replied, "During the crisis at the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, our masters left us several Immortal Rings with sizable space, so..."
