Chapter 2526: The Immortal Artifact Beneath the Ground
Chapter 2526: The Immortal Artifact Beneath the Ground
Fang Bai believed that the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace who had the chance to reincarnate, although their memories of their past life would be sealed, would inherently have a favorable disposition towards the Emperor’s Palace. If they could set foot on the Dao of Cultivation again and return to the Immortal Realm, then under fortuitous circumstances, there might be a chance to join the Emperor’s Palace.Those who directly seize a body for rebirth will also, like him, ceaselessly strive to return to the Immortal Realm and rebuild the Emperor’s Palace.
When all the immortals on-site had flown away, Fang Bai used his Divine Sense to probe the area. After confirming that no other immortals were within thousands of miles, he slowly rose.
"Wait here, I’m going to find some good things!"
Saying this, Fang Bai’s figure descended into the valley and quickly set up some formations within it.
The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and other immortals had deep connections with Fang Bai, having received direct or indirect teachings from him, so they were all versed in the Array Path. Just a glance was enough for them to recognize that Fang Bai had set up defensive arrays with great power.
The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and Linghu Baimi exchanged looks, none of them understanding what Fang Bai was doing.
After setting up the formations, Fang Bai circulated the Earth Element Formula. His body was covered by a faint layer of earth-yellow aura, and he swiftly melded into the ground.
"Brother Fang is so mysterious... I wonder what he’s looking for..."
Watching Fang Bai’s figure disappear, Rou Fu blinked her beautiful eyes and said.
"Don’t you know him yet? If he says it’s something good, then it must be an extraordinary treasure."
Linghu Baimi laughed, her eyes watching the ground of the valley, showing a look of anticipation.
About a hundred breaths later, the ground of the valley suddenly trembled.
The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and other immortals sensed a powerful aura rushing from the depths to the surface, and their eyes immediately focused on a ten-zhang wide area of the valley.
Moments later, the area they were focusing on suddenly bulged upward and then "boom", the ground exploded, and a beam of light shot out rapidly.
"It’s an Immortal Artifact! A Superior Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Artifact!"
The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor, sensitive in his detection and with extraordinary vision, could discern its grade the moment the light burst from the ground, his eyes brightening.
Linghu Baimi and other immortals also felt a surge of excitement.
A Superior Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Artifact, a grade second only to Emperor’s Instruments, possesses immense power. It is a treasure dreamt of by Immortal King Realm and Immortal Emperor Realm Experts.
With Fang Bai’s current skills, he could barely forge such a grade of Immortal Artifact with his full strength, yet he lacked the necessary materials for this purpose, leaving him helpless.
What puzzled them was how such a treasure could be buried deep underground?
The defensive arrays Fang Bai had set up earlier proved effective.
After that Immortal Artifact emerged from the ground, it attempted to break free, but despite its struggles, it could not escape the constraints of the formation.
A long howl followed, and Fang Bai’s figure suddenly appeared on the ground with the howl.
He suppressed the Spiritual Artifact with the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, swiftly erasing the glyph restrictions on the Immortal Artifact’s surface, taking control of the Artifact Spirit, and then refining it anew with Immortal Fire.
"Baimei, catch! Infuse your Divine Sense into the essence blood and spray it on this Immortal Artifact, then it will be yours!"
Saying this, Fang Bai tossed the almost entirely refreshed Immortal Artifact to Linghu Baimi.
Linghu Baimi was overjoyed, stood up to catch the Immortal Artifact, and quickly sprayed a mouthful of essence blood infused with her Divine Sense onto the Immortal Artifact.
The Immortal Artifact was a fiery red Blade with a Fire Attribute, like a miniature Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, very suitable for Linghu Baimi, who possessed Innate Water and Fire Spiritual Roots.
Integrating Linghu’s Divine Sense essence blood quickly seeped into the Immortal Artifact.
The Immortal Artifact trembled for a while, during which its Artifact Spirit, having been refined by Fang Bai’s Immortal Fire earlier, became extremely weakened, and was soon controlled by Linghu Baimi’s Divine Sense, completely submitting.
Rou Fu and her three sisters gazed at the Immortal Artifact in Linghu Baimi’s hands, filled with envy.
Even the Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor’s disciple, Xiao Qi, looked enviously at his mentor.
"Why are you looking at me?"
The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor gave his disciple a stern glance, and seeing his disappointed face, then transmitted a message: "Don’t worry, as I understand the Palace Master, you won’t be left wanting. Just wait and see!"
The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor was very satisfied with this disciple’s talents but was limited by his own abilities, unable to provide him with a powerful Immortal Artifact, which left him a bit guilty. Now, meeting the Palace Master could remedy this defect.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi was relieved and glanced towards Fang Bai again, his expression filled with hope.
Afterwards, Fang Bai plunged repeatedly into the depths of the valley, repeatedly bringing Immortal Artifacts from below, contained within the defensive arrays.
Fang Bai, upon the appearance of these Immortal Artifacts, would suppress, refine, and present them to the Four Female Immortals including Rou Fu.
Indeed, Fang Bai did not forget Xiao Qi, finally refining a spear-like Spiritual Artifact for him to replace his previously used Silver Spear.
Receiving their Immortal Artifacts, Linghu Baimi and the immortals joyfully admired them, finding them priceless.
With these Immortal Artifacts, their combat power could be significantly enhanced, and they were better able to defeat adversaries or protect themselves.
"Strange, why are there Immortal Artifacts underground here?"
When Fang Bai returned to the mountain peak and took a moment to meditate, Linghu Baimi couldn’t help but ask.
Except for the Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor who seemed to gain some understanding, Rou Fu and the immortals were equally confused.
Fang Bai said: "Superior Immortal Emperor Level Immortal Artifacts already possess a high level of spirituality. After their owners fell in a battle long ago, their blood seeped into the ground, and the aura lingered in this place for a long time, thus the Immortal Artifacts naturally buried themselves deep underground, remaining with their masters... Well, this could be considered a special kind of ’Funeral’!"
Linghu Baimi and the others had never heard of such a miraculous thing before, marveling at it, thinking that it’s no wonder immortals always said that the accompanying Immortal Artifact resonates intimately with its master, sharing its fate, as prosperity or adversity comes. It seems this phrase is indeed true.
Fang Bai worried that after he slew many Immortal Emperor Realm experts from top forces, these sect’s Immortal Emperors might come to investigate, so he didn’t linger but returned to the Demon-Slaying Immortal City with the Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and others.
After the anomaly in the mountains outside the city settled, the number of immortals in Demon-Slaying Immortal City noticeably decreased, with many leaving one after another to seek other places in the Immortal Realm for cultivation holy lands to continue to hone their skills.
On this day, Fang Bai suddenly felt a crisis, sensing a powerful energy wave.
He immediately let the Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and others enter his Five Elements Space Ring, while he himself concealed all auras related to the Emperor’s Palace, transforming into a common loose cultivator Immortal.
The next moment, a rift tore open in the void above the Demon-Slaying Immortal City, and an Immortal dressed in a purple robe appeared in the sky, standing suspended.
That Immortal’s expression was stern, emotionless, at first glance appearing to be an ordinary middle-aged Immortal.
Yet the Lightning Snake swirling around him and the electric light shooting from his eyes gave the immortals within the Demon-Slaying Immortal City a feeling of being targeted by death, as they knew this was an extremely dangerous Immortal.
