Chapter 2506: Chapter 2506: Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor
Inside the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, the vast majority are relatives, friends, and younger generations of the immortals who fell in that great chaotic battle.
They reside here, some to guard the tombs of their elders, and others to search for cultivation resources left behind by the immortals after the battle.
Over millions of years, the Demon-Slaying Immortal City has expanded a hundredfold, the number of immortals exceeding ten million, transforming into a grand and majestic city.
As an ancient battlefield where countless immortals, demons, and monsters fell, the area outside Demon City is filled with intertwining energies including immortal qi, demonic qi, monster qi, and blood fiend qi. These energies not only confuse the minds of immortals but also create a terrifying pressure that most immortals find hard to endure.
In a mountainous region still littered with remains, every hundred years, waves of battle cries can be heard, and even illusions of ancient battles formed by these energies can be seen.
It’s said that the devastating ancient battle from millions of years ago involved many Immortal Emperors and even Great Emperors. Their high-level immortal powers shattered the void, causing even the rules of heaven and earth to remain broken, leaving traces of the battles embedded in the world.
Thus, every hundred years, under the influence of various natural forces, past battle scenarios are recreated in that part of the world, becoming a great opportunity for some immortals.
Some immortals, relying on strong abilities and protection from immortal artifacts, deliberately venture into the mountains to observe these illusions of ancient battles, seeking insights and understanding of the Dao of Cultivation from the battles of immortal, demon, and monster powerhouses.
This rare spectacle, occurring once a century, quickly became a feature of the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, attracting numerous immortals from the nine Heavenly Domains to visit or settle here.
When Fang Bai and Linghu Baimi, along with Rou Fu and four other female immortals, arrived at the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, it was already overcrowded, with all immortal residences fully booked.
However, this was no obstacle for Fang Bai, who easily exchanged a bottle of superior King Grade Immortal Pill for a decent immortal residence, settling there temporarily.
"The immortals in this city are highly mobile and well-informed. Let’s spread out and see if we can gather news about the immortals from the lower realms."
That day, Fang Bai spoke to Linghu Baimi and the female immortals.
With so many immortals in the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, the chaotic energies made it impossible to use Divine Sense for exploration without collisions with other immortals’ Divine Senses. If any underlings of the Eight Great Powers were present, it might spell trouble.
After all, Linghu Baimi, Rou Fu, and the four sisters could not completely conceal their energies like Fang Bai. Should they encounter high-ranking Immortal Emperor Realm experts from the Eight Great Powers, the Emperor’s Palace Immortal Technique Secrets they practiced might be sensed.
Since Fang Bai killed some of the Immortal King and Immortal Emperor Realm experts from the Eight Great Powers, these powers were shaken, convinced that remnants of the Emperor’s Palace were responsible, and dispatched numerous followers to hunt down disciples of the Emperor’s Palace across the nine Heavenly Domains.
Fang Bai and Linghu Baimi, along with the female immortals, journeyed to each immortal city, feeling the measures both overt and covert implemented by the Eight Great Powers against Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Without Fang Bai’s protection, Linghu Baimi and the female immortals risked exposing their practiced immortal techniques by frequently entering various immortal cities.
Thus, Fang Bai concluded that the safest way to gather news about immortals from the lower realms in this crowded Demon-Slaying Immortal City was through direct observation.
Immortals from the lower realms had trained with Fang Bai’s immortal techniques and methods for concealing energies. If they met, there would inevitably be some mutual sensing, even if they disguised themselves.
Thus, Fang Bai, Linghu Baimi, Rou Fu, Rou Zhi, Rou Xin, and Rou Ling set out from their residence, dispersing in different directions across the Immortal City, seeking traces of immortals from the lower realms.
As Fang Bai strolled through the Immortal City, he occasionally left symbols on some city walls.
These symbols were special markers agreed upon with the lower realms’ immortals for mutual contact after ascending to the Immortal Realm. Should any lower realm immortal see them, they could find Fang Bai’s whereabouts.
Unconsciously, Fang Bai arrived at the central plaza of the Demon-Slaying Immortal City.
In the Immortal Realm, every Immortal City’s central plaza has an Immortal Platform set up for resolving personal enmities among immortals.
Fang Bai noticed the formation enveloping the Immortal Platform, indicating that immortals were battling inside, with many observers surrounding it, so he stood at a distance to watch.
The formation of the Immortal Platform isolates external energies, making it impossible for observers, including Fang Bai, to use Divine Sense to identify the battling immortals.
A hundred breaths later, the formation dissipated, and the immortals on the Immortal Platform had determined a victor.
"Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor?"
Seeing the triumphant winner standing proudly on the Immortal Platform, Fang Bai narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent stirring within.
Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor is a disciple of Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, one of the Eight Great Powers. A thousand years ago, his cultivation was at the initial Immortal Emperor Realm, now it’s mid-tier.
Flying Swan Immortal Emperor possesses the Innate Wind Spirit Root and practices wind system immortal technique. His disciples are renowned for their speed.
Fang Bai has some impression of Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor due to this immortal provoking and injuring several Emperor’s Palace disciples while accompanying his master, Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, as a guest at the palace. Fang Bai took a dislike to him, and Flying Swan Immortal Emperor punished him with a century of reflection at the palace.
But within a few years, the Eight Great Immortal Emperors’ siege against Fang Bai ensued, with Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor reprieved. Before Fang Bai’s presumed fall, his Divine Sense perceived the presence of Wind Eagle.
"Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor is not at the Flying Swan Palace but appears here; could he have been stationed to specifically pursue and hunt Emperor’s Palace disciples?"
Fang Bai watched as Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor strode proudly off the Immortal Platform and secretly pondered.
The one fallen on the Immortal Platform was also a mid-tier Immortal Emperor Realm expert, evidencing Wind Eagle’s prowess as a formidable adversary at that level.
"To encounter me is your misfortune!"
Seeing Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor leave the Immortal Platform heading toward the most luxurious immortal residence in the city, Fang Bai discreetly followed.
Despite Wind Eagle’s standing as a mid-tier Immortal Emperor Realm expert, Fang Bai possessed the capability to slay him.
The current Immortal Realm, especially among the Eight Great Powers, has been plagued by Fang Bai’s ever-changing tactics, generating incessant suspicion and conflicts among themselves.
Among these, Golden Crow Palace was extinguished by the collective force of the seven top Immortal Emperors, with no trace of Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.
This upheaval stirred massive waves across the Immortal Realm.
Nevertheless, while the remaining seven Great Powers undergo internal discord, they persist in sending numerous disciples to hunt Emperor’s Palace remnants, fearing a resurgence that threatens their dominion.
Meanwhile, to divert their focus and relieve the pressure on Emperor’s Palace disciples, Fang Bai impersonated various sect disciples, today slaying a Qingtian Palace disciple as a Myriad Sword Sect member, tomorrow killing an Ice River Palace disciple as a Dragon Taming Palace member, igniting strife and sowing discord.
This approach exacerbated the conflicts among the seven top Immortal Emperors, further disrupting the Immortal Realm.
