Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

After leaving the Secret Realm, Fang Bai, while searching for Emperor’s Palace Disciples and Immortals from the Lower Realm, was also inquiring about the recent upheavals in the Immortal Realm.

The Heaven Devouring Art of a Demon Clan Emperor had once stirred up tempests in all directions, plunging the Immortal Realm into turmoil.

Because they cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art, Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, these two top-tier Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm, became the public enemies of the Immortal Realm. The Sects they had personally founded—one was annihilated, the other dissolved—ending in miserable ruin.

Now, Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, hunted by the other six top-tier Immortal Emperors, had both vanished without a trace.

Dragon Taming Emperor and the other six top-tier Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm offered huge bounties and issued kill orders against the Disciples of Golden Crow Palace and Flying Swan Peak, just as they had treated Emperor’s Palace Disciples over the past thousand years.

Previously, the eight top-tier powers of the Immortal Realm had joined forces to hunt down Emperor’s Palace Disciples, subjecting the surviving Emperor’s Palace Disciples to immense pressure.

But now, of the eight top-tier powers, only six remained, and these six also had to divert their attention to dealing with the "remnants" of the three Sects: Emperor’s Palace, Golden Crow Palace, and Flying Swan Peak.

In this way, the pressure borne by those surviving Emperor’s Palace Disciples was greatly reduced.

Thus, some Emperor’s Palace Disciples who could not forget their hatred for Emperor’s Palace, as well as those Immortal Realm forces loyal to Emperor’s Palace, once again became active and launched attacks on the interests of the six top-tier Immortal Emperors.

Back when Emperor’s Palace was destroyed, although most of its one hundred thousand Disciples perished, some of the remaining minority of Emperor’s Palace Disciples maintained contact, regrouped, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

What caused the six top-tier powers the greatest headache was that a portion of the Emperor’s Palace Disciples, when facing their pursuit, would break into pieces, disperse and hide, making it impossible for them to track any trail.

Yet once their pursuit operations ended, those Emperor’s Palace Disciples would gather again, join forces, and, taking advantage of their lax defenses, deliver a thunderous strike.

In this repeated fashion, the six top-tier powers lost quite a number of Disciples and also suffered heavy losses in Cultivation Resources.

The six top-tier Immortal Emperors, harried to the point of having no peace, were thus furious yet utterly helpless.

After Fang Bai heard of these matters, he could not help but burst into laughter, his chest filled with exhilaration.

"Lately, the place where Emperor’s Palace Disciples have been most active is Bluewater Immortal City. I hope I can find their tracks there."

Along the way, as Fang Bai probed for news regarding Emperor’s Palace Disciples, he learned that some Emperor’s Palace Disciples had frequently appeared there, and so decided to head to Bluewater Immortal City to take a look.

Bluewater Immortal City was built by relying on an Immortal Mountain stretching a hundred thousand miles in radius. Nestled between mountains and waters, its scenery was magnificent, Auspicious Clouds coiled about, Immortal Beasts concealed themselves within, and Immortal Qi was dense. It was a veritable paradise within the Immortal Realm.

Immortal Residences of all kinds—some built atop mountain peaks, some standing by the water’s edge, some hidden within valleys, some concealed amidst dense forests...

The Immortals residing within Bluewater Immortal City numbered only a million, yet each possessed extraordinary strength.

It was said that among these one million Immortals, nearly half were Immortal Emperor Realm Experts, and any Immortal whose Cultivation Level was below Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm had no qualification to reside here at all.

The master of Bluewater Immortal City was rumored to be an Immortal Emperor. This Immortal Emperor had attained the Dao as a Loose Cultivator, did not heed the command of any power or expert in the Immortal Realm, loved to roam the Immortal Realm, carefree and at leisure; hence his honorific title, "Carefree Immortal Emperor."

Although Carefree Immortal Emperor was not as renowned in the Immortal Realm as the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors and his strength was slightly inferior, he enjoyed excellent Immortal fate, had many Immortal friends, and, being an Array Master proficient in the Array Path, even the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors would give him some deference and would not easily offend him.

Bluewater Immortal City was famous because Carefree Immortal Emperor had expended a vast amount of Immortal Stones to set up four gigantic Immortal Arrays around the city in the four directions, drawing Immortal Qi from all sides into the city. As a result, the entire city was filled with dense Immortal Qi that lingered without dispersing, greatly benefiting the Cultivation of Immortals and thus attracting large numbers of Immortals to live there.

Most importantly, to be neighbors with an Immortal Emperor was an immense opportunity. Some Immortal Kings or Immortal Emperors within the Immortal Realm naturally flocked to it like ducks to water.

The eight top-tier Immortal Emperors had never been particularly fond of this Carefree Immortal Emperor; it could even be said they harbored hostility toward him.

For this Carefree Immortal Emperor, though he had no particular ties with the former Emperor’s Palace and no real friendship with the Emperor’s Palace Master, after Emperor’s Palace was destroyed, repeatedly spoke out, expressing his disdain for the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors’ joint assault on the Emperor’s Palace Master, and even stirred up a wave of public censure against the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors, which secretly infuriated them.

Back then, the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors even plotted how to "teach Carefree Immortal Emperor a lesson" so that he would quiet down. Fortunately, for some reason, Carefree Immortal Emperor later became somewhat more low-key, and the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors abandoned their plan to move against him.

In recent years, rumors spread that some Emperor’s Palace Disciples were hiding within Bluewater Immortal City. Because of this, the eight top-tier powers wanted to enter Bluewater Immortal City to investigate, yet were blocked repeatedly by Carefree Immortal Emperor.

Had the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors not been so exhausted by the Heaven Devouring Art affair and unable to spare attention elsewhere, they might well have already raised an army to demand justice from Carefree Immortal Emperor.

In his previous life, Fang Bai had once met Carefree Immortal Emperor. Although their acquaintance was shallow, they appreciated each other, and Fang Bai knew that Carefree Immortal Emperor was extremely upright, intolerant of the slightest speck of sand in his eyes, and harbored a proud spirit in his chest.

After Emperor’s Palace was destroyed, his inability to tolerate the deeds of the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors and speaking up for Emperor’s Palace was entirely possible.

But to say that he would risk tearing his face with the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors to shelter Emperor’s Palace Disciples—that, Fang Bai found somewhat difficult to understand.

Recently, some Immortals claimed to have discovered traces of Emperor’s Palace Disciples active near Bluewater Immortal City, causing a great stir. Powerful subordinates under the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors had also secretly entered Bluewater Immortal City, attempting to find traces of Emperor’s Palace Disciples, but in the end found nothing and had to give up.

In his previous life, Fang Bai already knew that to enter Bluewater Immortal City one had to satisfy two basic conditions.

First, one’s Cultivation Level had to reach at least Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm, and one must have no notorious misdeeds in the Immortal Realm.

Second, at least three Immortals who had resided in Bluewater Immortal City for over a hundred years had to vouch for you.

However, when Fang Bai arrived near Bluewater Immortal City, he learned that in this past millennium, yet another condition had been added for entering the city: one must have no connection whatsoever with the eight top-tier powers of the Immortal Realm.

From this, it could be seen just how much Carefree Immortal Emperor loathed the eight top-tier powers.

The first condition was manageable, but the second would require a bit of effort, though it was not enough to stump Fang Bai.

Fang Bai lingered outside Bluewater Immortal City for a time, and to his delight, he discovered in some hidden regions beyond the city certain unique secret contact signals left behind by Emperor’s Palace Disciples.

This was sufficient proof that Emperor’s Palace Disciples had appeared in the vicinity.

Suppressing his excitement, Fang Bai patiently waited outside Bluewater Immortal City to see whether any Immortals from Bluewater Immortal City would come out.
