Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2264: Cultivation in the Residence
Fang Bai knew that among the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples present, there were some whose masters were once Immortal Emperor Realm experts of the Emperor’s Palace.
Back then, Fang Bai had crafted some top-grade Immortal Rings and presented them to the high-level figures of the Emperor’s Palace, including the Immortal Emperor Realm experts. Although the storage capacity of those top-grade Immortal Rings was no match for the Five Elements Space Ring he currently possessed, they could still carry tens of millions of Immortal Stones without issue.
Presumably, those Immortal Emperor Realm experts from the Emperor’s Palace handed over their top-grade Immortal Rings to the Emperor’s Palace disciples like the Vajra Immortal King before their demise. It was with these top-grade Immortal Rings that the likes of Vajra Immortal King took away the Immortal Stone Vein belonging to the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City.
Under the watchful eyes of the strong figures at the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City, they launched a surprise attack on their Immortal Stone Vein and moved away almost all the Immortal Stones. Such a feat undertaken by the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples, including the Vajra Immortal King, was quite a grand gesture.
"Well done!"
Fang Bai praised them and then said, "But this incident will surely alert the forces under the Eight Immortal Emperors. In the future, without complete confidence, you should not act again!"
The Vajra Immortal King nodded in agreement, knowing that what could be done once should not be repeated. Otherwise, if their whereabouts and identities were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Palace Master, all the Immortal Stones we seized are in these few Immortal Rings, and now we hand them over to you for safekeeping."
The Vajra Immortal King gave a signal to the four Immortal King Realm experts beside him, and then the five Immortals removed the Space Immortal Rings from their fingers and respectfully placed them in front of Fang Bai.
In their minds, since the Palace Master had been reborn through possession, he must urgently need a large amount of cultivation resources to restore his strength. As disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, it was their duty to offer their Space Immortal Rings to show their sincerity.
Fang Bai smiled and said, "I appreciate your goodwill. If I need cultivation resources, I have my own ways to obtain them. Take these Immortal Stones back and use them for your own cultivation!"
The Vajra Immortal King and the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples, seeing the Palace Master firmly refusing to accept, didn’t insist further. They retrieved their respective Space Immortal Rings and stood before Fang Bai with their hands lowered.
They had thought the Palace Master had fallen a thousand years ago, yet now, encountering him so unceremoniously in Myriad Sword City, they still felt as if they were dreaming, their faces unable to hide the excitement and joy. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
For a thousand years, they had been yearning to avenge the fallen disciples of the Emperor’s Palace. However, lacking manpower, confronting the Eight Immortal Emperors and their respective forces was tantamount to striking a stone with an egg, a path leading to self-destruction, so they had no choice but to conceal and bide their time.
Now that the Palace Master was still alive, as long as he called out, the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, who were in hiding across the Nine Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, would quickly gather under his command.
Of course, they also understood that now was not the time to summon the Emperor’s Palace disciples, as the Palace Master’s cultivation level had not yet returned to its peak.
But they believed that day would not be too far off.
While Fang Bai and the Emperor’s Palace disciples were conversing in the manor, disciples of the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City patrolled the city, sometimes passing near their manor.
However, the most dangerous place is often the safest place. The manor where Fang Bai and the other Immortals resided was protected by an Isolation Formation. Moreover, this formation had been re-arranged by Fang Bai, making it even more secure, so that even if an Immortal Emperor personally came to Myriad Sword City, they would be unable to detect their movements.
Due to the killing of over a hundred disciples and the robbery of an entire Immortal Stone Vein, the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City was greatly agitated. They led the forces under the Eight Immortal Emperors to search for traces of the Emperor’s Palace disciples within a hundred-thousand-li radius, but most of their forces were spread outside the city, leaving the city itself more evacuated than usual.
The Vajra Immortal King and the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples were itching to think this was a good opportunity to annihilate the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City. However, this was rejected by Fang Bai.
Fang Bai believed it was a trap deliberately set by the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City to lure out the Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Besides that, the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City was guarded by four third-grade Immortal King Realm experts, with other Immortal King Realm experts not in short supply. This force was so strong that Fang Bai was not confident he could achieve victory.
Even if all efforts were made to annihilate the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City, their side would inevitably face a great cost.
The once hundred thousand disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, after the tragic battle a thousand years ago, had few survivors left, and losing even one was something Fang Bai was unwilling to see.
Hence, without absolute confidence, Fang Bai would not act lightly.
"For the near future, let us cultivate in peace here. Once things calm down, I’ll take you to a good spot outside the city."
Fang Bai recalled a secret cultivation sanctuary he had discovered lifetimes ago, located tens of thousands of miles away from Myriad Sword City. He wondered if any Immortal had found it by now. He planned to take the Vajra Immortal King and the other Emperor’s Palace disciples there after some time, in hopes of it becoming a safe haven for them.
In this small manor, Fang Bai, along with the Vajra Immortal King and other Emperor’s Palace disciples, resided for several months.
During these months, Fang Bai explained in detail the Immortal Technique Secrets practiced by the Vajra Immortal King and the other Emperor’s Palace disciples.
In the past, when the Emperor’s Palace was still intact, the Immortal Technique Secrets practiced by the Emperor’s Palace disciples like the Vajra Immortal King were imparted and explained by their masters. Being personally taught and explained by the Palace Master in such a way was unprecedented. Therefore, they understood the rarity of this opportunity and listened attentively.
In a previous life, after all, being a peak Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai’s understanding and comprehension of the Immortal Dao were beyond the reach of the other eight top Immortal Emperors. Thus, his every word contained supreme mysteries and Great Dao Principles, causing the Vajra Immortal King and other disciples of the Emperor’s Palace who listened to Fang Bai’s explanations to gain insights akin to Ambrosia Baptism more than once.
After each explanation by Fang Bai, the Vajra Immortal King and the other Emperor’s Palace disciples would spend at least a month comprehending it. For them, even if they could comprehend just one or two-tenths of the truths, their strength would take a significant leap forward. Coupled with the assistance of tens of millions of Immortal Stones, their cultivation levels advanced at an unprecedented pace during these months.
So, after several months, a few of the Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm experts among the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples officially stepped into the Immortal King Realm.
And those like the Vajra Immortal King, who were already at the Immortal King Cultivation Realm, although not breaking through, reached a critical point, lacking only an opportunity or another enlightenment.
"It’s time to leave."
One day, Fang Bai left the manor and circled around Myriad Sword City, discovering that the City Lord Mansion of Myriad Sword City seemed to have not found any valuable information, so they recalled all the disciples.
Disciples from the other subordinate forces of the Seven Immortal Emperors also found nothing, and they withdrew, stopping their investigations.
Three days later, Fang Bai and the dozen or so Emperor’s Palace disciples altered their appearance and demeanor, leaving Myriad Sword City to fly towards a hidden area tens of thousands of miles away.
