Chapter 2650: The Charming Female Immortal of Red Lotus Palace
Ninth Heavenly Domain of the Immortal Realm.
Chengtian Domain.
This is the last of the nine great heavenly domains of the Immortal Realm, and also the largest in area and the most populated by immortals.
In the Chengtian Domain, more than half of the Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm are gathered, not to mention the innumerable Immortal Emperor Realm experts.
It is said that the ultimate battle at the final moment of the protracted war that spanned the three realms of immortals, demons, and monsters millions of years ago, took place in the Chengtian Domain.
In that great battle, many Emperor Realm experts of the three races participated, and even their Great Emperors stepped forward, clashing so fiercely that the heavens collapsed and the oceans overturned.
It is said that the dark and terrifying "Heavenly Cave" at the juncture of the Western Desolate and Northern Desolate of the Chengtian Domain is a relic left from the attacks of the Great Emperors of the three races, which not even the laws of heaven and earth have fully repaired to this day.
Massive black winds from the Endless Space pour into the Chengtian Domain through the "Heavenly Cave," making that area besieged by relentless gales, shrouded in darkness as if in an apocalypse, so much so that even mighty Immortal Emperors do not dare to venture there lightly.
After that war ended, numerous Emperor Realm experts from the three races perished, and even several of their Great Emperors were exiled into the Endless Space, whereabouts unknown.
Since that battle, the three races have suffered significant losses and great damage to their Essence Energy, leading them to recuperate and recuperate. Although there have been occasional conflicts over these millions of years, they generally remain in a state of peace.
The Red Lotus Immortal Emperor, one of the eight top Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm, resides atop a mountain in the Chengtian Domain.
This Immortal Mountain, when viewed from afar, resembles a massive blooming fiery lotus, with the Lotus Hall where the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor lives situated at the very center of this "fiery lotus flower," surrounded by immortal halls arranged in array, guarding the Lotus Hall.
Auspicious Clouds swirl around the "fiery lotus flower," with various Immortal Birds weaving through, and many disciples of Red Lotus coming and going, radiating a sense of lively harmony.
The Red Lotus Immortal Emperor is among the rare Immortal Emperor Realm experts with a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root in today’s Immortal Realm, specifically a wood-fire dual attribute Innate Spiritual Root.
Immortals possessing these two Innate Spiritual Roots are usually Alchemists.
Among the few Immortal Emperors capable of refining Emperor Elixirs in the current Immortal Realm, the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor is one.
In the Eastern Desolate of the ninth heavenly domain of the Immortal Realm stands an Emperor’s Stele, said to be erected by a boundless Immortal Power Great Emperor using the only Rainbow Immortal Stone in the Immortal Realm at the dawn of heaven and earth.
It is called the "Emperor’s Stele" because on its surface appear the honorifics and titles of many Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm.
An honorific is a "immortal name" self-given by an immortal or granted by others, used for mutual reference.
Whereas a title is a name bestowed by the Emperor’s Stele upon an Immortal Emperor after their strength is tested by the Stele.
The title given to an Immortal Emperor will remain on the Emperor’s Stele until the immortal perishes, at which point the name automatically disappears.
Take Fang Bai, who in a past life went to the Empire’s Stele in the Eastern Desolate and unleashed a full-powered punch at it, after which the words "War Emperor" appeared, signifying the title the Stele conferred upon him.
The title "War Emperor" signifies unmatched martial prowess in the Immortal Realm, representing the Stele’s recognition of Fang Bai’s strength.
For the Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm, receiving the recognition of the Emperor’s Stele and being granted a title is an unparalleled honor.
Even more enticing for the Immortal Emperors is that when an Immortal Emperor is granted a title by the Emperor’s Stele, they also receive an Emperor Rank Cultivation Technique from it.
Though not a Great Emperor Realm technique, it is the most suitable cultivation technique for an Immortal Emperor, greatly aiding in enhancing their strength.
The few Emperor Rank Cultivation Techniques practiced by Fang Bai in his past life were derived from the Emperor’s Stele, giving rise to many further Emperor Rank Cultivation Techniques.
Thus, nearly all immortals in the Immortal Realm, after ascending to Immortal Emperor, journey to the Emperor’s Stele, hoping for its recognition and to leave their name on the Stele.
The honorifics and titles of Immortal Emperors on the Emperor’s Stele are automatically arranged according to strength, also known as the "Emperor Ranking."
After Fang Bai was granted the title of "War Emperor," he surpassed numerous other Immortal Emperors to reach the top, firmly holding that position for over millennia until his "fall" a thousand years ago, causing his honorific and title to vanish from the Stele.
The eight top Immortal Emperors thus assumed Fang Bai had indeed fallen, and settled their minds.
Yet little did they know, in his past life, Fang Bai was reduced to a fragment of his soul. Even if he possessed a new body and started cultivating anew, his realm was far too weak; to return to the Emperor’s Stele, he would need to reascend to Immortal Emperor.
After Fang Bai’s "fall," the eight top Immortal Emperors underwent rigorous cultivation and confidently returned to the Emperor’s Stele to test their strengths, aspiring to claim the "War Emperor" title, but never succeeded.
Meanwhile, the Palace Master of Red Lotus Palace, the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor, advanced significantly in alchemy after Fang Bai’s "fall" and received the title "Medicine Emperor" from the Emperor’s Stele.
The title "Medicine Emperor" signifies that the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor has become the unrivalled alchemy authority in the Immortal Realm today.
At this very moment, the newly emerged Red Lotus Immortal Emperor is explaining Immortal Technique Secrets to some disciples in the palace.
The opportunity to hear the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor explain personally is rare, and only the high-ranking members of Red Lotus Palace and some extraordinarily gifted disciples with Innate Spiritual Roots have the privilege to listen.
After explaining for two hours, the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor quickly left the Red Lotus Palace, tearing through space reportedly to meet with several other top Immortal Emperors to discuss handling the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, the Carefree Immortal Emperor, and the sudden appearance of the Demon Emperor in the Immortal Realm.
Once the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor departed, the other high-ranking members and disciples of the Red Lotus Palace dispersed as well, each returning to their place to study and cultivate.
A beautiful female immortal with a slim and alluring figure and an exceptionally pretty face left the Red Lotus Palace with the disciples and returned to her dwelling.
Shortly, the pretty female immortal left her dwelling, informed a steward in the palace, and went out alone to practice and gain experience.
As soon as the pretty female immortal departed, a male immortal followed her out of the Red Lotus Palace.
The male immortal had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with an exceptionally handsome appearance, but the look in his eyes as he watched the pretty female immortal was filled with an intensely fervent love.
This handsome male immortal’s cultivation level was at the initial stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm, while the pretty female immortal was merely at the Ninth Grade Immortal King Realm.
Though their cultivation levels seemed only a step apart, the disparity in strength was generally vast.
After following the pretty female immortal for several thousand miles, the handsome male immortal suddenly accelerated to catch up with her.
The pretty female immortal, sensitive and perceptive, despite not matching the other’s realm and cultivation level, had long sensed that the handsome male immortal had been trailing her since leaving the Red Lotus Palace.
"Senior Brother Lingyun, why are you following me?"
Only when the handsome male immortal approached did the pretty female immortal turn around, a flicker of disgust flashing in her eyes.
The male immortal referred to as "Senior Brother Lingyun" bore the honorific "Lingyun Immortal Emperor," and while not possessing an Innate Spiritual Root, was among the most outstanding of the young generation disciples of the Red Lotus Palace, harboring affection for the pretty female immortal all along.
However, despite expressing his love to the pretty female immortal multiple times, he was mercilessly rejected, yet remained undeterred, with a persistence likened to perseverance.
"Heh heh..."
Gazing at the pretty female immortal before him, Lingyun Immortal Emperor found himself liking her all the more, a wicked fire stirring in his heart, speaking hoarsely, "Junior Sister Liyu, I really like you! Will you... will you be my immortal partner?"
