Chapter 2598: I Don’t Want to Be Separated from You Again
The Heaven Devouring Art was created by the Demon Clan Emperor, and it is a path to the Great Emperor Realm.
Therefore, faced with such temptation, Fang Bai was certain that no Immortal Emperor could resist.
The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor couldn’t, nor could the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor.
Even though the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor was trying his best to conceal his demonic qi, Fang Bai still keenly caught a trace of it, deducing that the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor had also begun cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art and had already entered its initial stage.
This discovery brought Fang Bai immense joy.
Before long, news would spread in the Immortal Realm about the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art.
Then, just like the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, the sect established by the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor would be destroyed, he would have no place in the Immortal Realm, and now he is still nowhere to be found.
With hardly any effort, using a Great Emperor Demon Art, Fang Bai found it exceedingly worthwhile to obliterate the two top-tier forces in the Immortal Realm.
Upon returning to the Immortal Realm, Fang Bai initially thought that seeking revenge on the eight major forces and rebuilding the Emperor’s Palace would take a long time and be extremely difficult. But unexpectedly, the emergence of the Heaven Devouring Art helped him tremendously, accelerating his revenge and the rebuilding of the Emperor’s Palace.
As for whether those Immortal Emperors who acquired the Heaven Devouring Art would use it to ascend to the Great Emperor Realm, Fang Bai wasn’t worried at all.
Fang Bai had more knowledge about the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors of the current era than any other immortal.
Although these eight top-tier Immortal Emperors were all of Innate Spiritual Root and had extraordinary talent, once they began cultivating the Heaven Devouring Art, they couldn’t resist the invasion of demonic nature, leading to a loss of their mental state and falling into the Demon Dao.
If they continued to cultivate it, they would only sink deeper into the path of demons. Although their strength might become stronger than before, with a disturbed mind, it would be impossible for them to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.
Once the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor was detested by all immortals in the Immortal Realm, he would wander like a homeless dog, and at that time, the Heaven Devouring Art might fall into the hands of other Immortal Emperors.
But after obtaining the Heaven Devouring Art, no matter how other Immortal Emperors comprehend and cultivate it, the final result would probably be futile.
After all, in the Immortal Realm, beings like Fang Bai with a "Chaos True Body" seemed to only have appeared once in thousands of years.
"Do you know where the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor went?"
The Flying Swan Immortal Emperor released Fang Bai, forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, and asked coldly.
Fang Bai thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if I misheard, but when the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor left, he seemed to say the words ’Flying Swan Peak’..."
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this, the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor’s pupils contracted, taking a sharp breath, and immediately collected the bodies of five high-ranking members of his sect, tearing through the void once again to return to the Flying Swan Peak.
He was truly worried that the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor would attack Flying Swan Peak. If that were to happen, without his presence as an Emperor Realm expert to hold it down, the Flying Swan Peak would suffer a massacre, facing tremendous losses.
Therefore, the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor left immediately without ever suspecting the Immortal Bow Hall.
Fang Bai was not afraid that the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor would come looking for trouble with the Immortal Bow Hall in the future.
Because after returning to the Flying Swan Peak this time, what awaited the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor would be attacks from the other top-tier forces in the Immortal Realm and the gather of all immortals. At that point, he would not even be able to protect himself, let alone have the spare time to trouble the Immortal Bow Hall.
Watching the quickly mending torn void, knowing the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor had gone far, Fang Bai then curled his lips into a cold smile.
He turned around, made a gesture toward the Zigong Immortal Emperor within the Sect Protection Array of the Immortal Bow Hall, and the Sect Protection Array was immediately lifted.
The Zigong Immortal Emperor and the high-ranking members of the Immortal Bow Hall flew into the void, surrounding Fang Bai, asking how he managed to make the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor leave.
They were protected by the Sect Protection Array just now and could not hear the conversation between Fang Bai and the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor in the void, so they knew nothing.
Lianyue Fairy stood on the periphery of the high-ranking members, looking at Fang Bai, thinking to herself that Fang Bai would not even tell himself the answer, let alone tell the Hall Master and others.
Sure enough, in response to the Zigong Immortal Emperor’s inquiry, Fang Bai merely smiled without speaking.
Eventually, when pressed, Fang Bai laughed and said, "The Flying Swan Immortal Emperor has already left, and he probably won’t come to trouble the Zigong Hall in the future. Isn’t this outcome exactly what everyone wants? As for the rest, it’s really not convenient for me to say."
Seeing that Fang Bai truly didn’t want to say, the Zigong Immortal Emperor could only suppress the intense curiosity in his heart and motion for the other high-ranking members to be silent.
The departure of the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor was a narrow escape for the Immortal Bow Hall from disaster, and naturally, the entire Immortal Bow Hall was overjoyed.
Fairy Minyue looked at Fang Bai more and more favorably, thinking that her beloved disciple had such a good eye to have formed such a talented and exceptional match, and it’s no wonder she had been indifferent to the expressions of affection from her fellow senior and junior brothers.
Afterward, the immortals returned to the Sect Master Hall, each taking their seat inside, as female disciples served Immortal Fruit and Immortal Brew.
"So... Immortal Friend Fang, you are a loose cultivator right now, correct? Loose cultivators are like rootless duckweed, struggling to establish themselves amidst the ever-changing Immortal Realm. In my opinion, why don’t you, like Lianyue, join our sect to have some support in the future... What do you say?"
The immortals chatted enthusiastically for a while when suddenly Fairy Minyue addressed Fang Bai.
Fang Bai looked at Lianyue Fairy, seeing her big eyes blinking at him with a hint of expectation, seemingly also hoping he would join the Immortal Bow Hall.
"To be honest, after ascending from the lower realm to the Immortal Realm with Xiao Lian and many friends and family, we were scattered everywhere. I have been searching for years and have only found a part of them... I am now traversing the Immortal Realm, honing myself while continuing to search for those lost friends and family. Therefore, I cannot stay long in any particular place..."
Upon appearing at the Immortal Bow Hall, he immediately joined forces with the Zigong Immortal Emperor to battle the many powerful figures at Flying Swan Peak, so he had no time to communicate with Lianyue Fairy until now. Thus, Lianyue Fairy did not know he had already found many friends and family from the lower realm.
"Fang Bai, who have you found now? Have you found Rushi, Ruhua, Qian Jiao, and Baimei?"
Lianyue Fairy asked eagerly, her little face flushed with excitement.
She and Rushi, Ruhua, and others were all Fang Bai’s celestial partners. In the lower realm, they had been like sisters, naturally caring about their affairs.
Fang Bai said, "Well, I have found most of your sisters... There are still a few of them without any news at the moment..."
He listed out the Immortals from the lower realm he had found so far. Lianyue was initially happy, then sighed, "I wonder where Elder Sister Li Yu and the others are at the moment. Hopefully, nothing has happened to them..."
After a pause, she added, "Fang Bai, if you go to find Li Yu and the others, remember to take me with you... I don’t want to be separated from you again!"
Fairy Minyue, seeing that she hadn’t convinced Fang Bai to stay, and now her beloved disciple seemed intent on leaving the sect, was naturally anxious and said, "Lianyue, you have just comprehended the Great Emperor Sword Intent within Sword Gorge. You should focus on closed cultivation to diligently enhance your cultivation level and realm. How can you leave..."
Lianyue Fairy, wise as she was, knew that her master was worried that she might leave the sect and never return, so she smiled and said, "Master, as long as I am a disciple of the Immortal Bow Hall for one day, I will forever be one! Following Fang Bai away is akin to going out for training, and I will visit frequently in the future..."
