Free Web NovelChapter 2477: Chapter 2477: Thunderflame Sect Disciple
"This Junior Immortal Friend, could you help us tame a bird? As for compensation, we can discuss!"
As Fang Bai expected, after the four Immortal Emperor Realm experts halted in front of him, the leading man clasped his fists and spoke.
Although Fang Bai was only at the Eighth Grade Immortal King Cultivation Realm, far inferior to that burly immortal, there was no hint of disdain in the burly immortal’s expression.
Because he noticed that although this junior’s cultivation level was not high, the two immortals behind him were Immortal Emperor Realm experts of similar strength to himself and seemed to be respectful towards Fang Bai, as if deferring to him.
From this, the burly immortal speculated that this junior might be a direct disciple of an Emperor Realm expert from a top sect.
Given Fang Bai’s age, achieving the Eighth Grade Immortal King Cultivation Realm was indeed rare, something only a top sect’s Emperor Realm expert in the Immortal Realm could cultivate.
Fang Bai scrutinized the four immortals before him and suddenly asked, "Are the four Immortal Friends disciples of the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor?"
Behind Fang Bai, the Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei, upon hearing "disciples of the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor," immediately shed their guarded expressions, replaced by amiable smiles.
Thousands of years ago, several prodigious talents emerged simultaneously in the Immortal Realm, with Fang Bai and the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor among them.
Fang Bai and the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor knew each other since their Immortal King Realm days when their cultivation levels were comparable, both making waves in the Immortal Realm, and in their youthful fervor, neither would concede to the other, so they sparred every five years, trying to outdo each other.
During the Immortal King Realm, their strengths were evenly matched, and outcomes were balanced, but after reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, Fang Bai’s extraordinary talent began to show, his cultivation level rapidly advancing, leaving the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor far behind.
In subsequent showdowns, the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor was often quite severely defeated by Fang Bai, and later, realizing he could never surpass Fang Bai, he reluctantly admitted defeat.
Nevertheless, their prolonged rivalry led to mutual admiration, becoming close friends, frequently discussing the Immortal Dao together, and even adventuring in the Immortal Realm side by side.
When Fang Bai achieved the status of Immortal Venerable, the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor wavered in the Immortal Emperor Realm. However, after listening to Fang Bai’s teachings multiple times and receiving a large amount of Imperial Grade cultivation resources as gifts, his cultivation advanced swiftly, soon reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, honored as the "Thunderflame Immortal Emperor."
The "Thunderflame Sect" founded by the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor was one of the top forces in the Immortal Realm at that time.
Due to the close relationship between their Sect Master and the Emperor’s Palace Master, the disciples of the Thunderflame Sect and the Emperor’s Palace often had excellent relations, warmly greeting each other when they met during their training in the Immortal Realm, and assisting each other in times of trouble.
Later, when the Emperor’s Palace was besieged by eight top forces, the War Emperor perished, and tens of thousands of Emperor’s Palace disciples were killed or injured, the news reached the Thunderflame Sect, whose disciples were furious, wanting to seek justice for the Emperor’s Palace. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Had it not been for the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor restraining the sect’s disciples in time and choosing to endure silently, the Thunderflame Sect might have faced the joint attack of the eight top Immortal Emperors, following in the footsteps of the fallen Emperor’s Palace.
The Thunderflame Sect was located on Tianlei Mountain, surrounded by a sea of thunder, with solid defenses, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Moreover, at that time, the eight top forces themselves were severely damaged after destroying the Emperor’s Palace, needing a long time to recover, which spared the Thunderflame Sect.
Lack of action was not due to a lack of desire to seek justice for the Emperor’s Palace but due to self-awareness. The Thunderflame Immortal Emperor knew that acting rashly would bring about calamity; thus, he focused on silently developing the sect’s power, waiting patiently for the right opportunity.
No matter how strong the eight top forces were, they would inevitably decline; even though the Thunderflame Sect was weak, there was hope to surpass the eight top forces.
Since the fall of the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor had been holding in his chest that indignant breath, not only urging disciples to cultivate diligently and raise their strength but also secluding himself to cultivate earnestly, hoping one day to surpass the strength of the eight top Immortal Emperors.
The four immortals were somewhat surprised when Fang Bai discerned their identity.
"How did the Junior Immortal Friend know we are disciples of the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor?"
The burly man couldn’t help but ask.
Fang Bai chuckled and said, "Our sect has some connections with the Thunderflame Sect."
"I am honored as the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor. These three are my junior brothers: the Thunder Blade Immortal Emperor, the Thunder Bow Immortal Emperor, and the Thunder Axe Immortal Emperor. May I know your honorifics?"
As soon as the burly man, known as the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor, heard that the other party’s sect had connections with his own, he felt a sense of closeness and introduced himself and his three junior brothers to Fang Bai and the other two immortals.
Hearing the honorifics of the four immortals, Fang Bai felt they were unfamiliar, guessing they must have grown into Immortal Emperor Realm experts within this millennium after the fall of the Emperor’s Palace.
"He is the Xielei Immortal Emperor, she is Fairy Yun Lei. As for me... I am honored as the Wushuang Immortal King. The three of us all come from the Emperor’s Palace."
Fang Bai smiled, transmitting this to the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor, introducing himself along with the Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei.
Knowing that revealing his true identity would greatly shock and astonish the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor and the other three immortals, Fang Bai temporarily concealed it, letting them know that the three of them were disciples of the Emperor’s Palace was enough.
"You are from the Emperor..."
Upon hearing Fang Bai say, "We all come from the Emperor’s Palace," the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor was visibly shaken, almost blurting out "Emperor’s Palace."
The next moment, he realized why Fang Bai had transmitted his voice to him.
Around them, immortals occasionally passed by, and should those immortals know they were from the Emperor’s Palace, the news could reach the eight top forces, potentially bringing great disaster.
However, the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor and the other three immortals did not fully believe just Fang Bai’s words, engaging in some secret exchanges about past interactions between the Emperor’s Palace and the Thunderflame Sect. They mutually confirmed some immortal technique secrets passed down by the War Emperor to the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor, finally verifying their identities were without doubt.
Some immortal technique secrets originally created by Fang Bai were taught to both the Emperor’s Palace disciples and the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor, who in turn explained them to his sect’s disciples, so both sides’ disciples were familiar with those secrets.
A thousand years ago, when the Emperor’s Palace fell, the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor and the other three immortals were just junior disciples and did not accompany their master, the Thunderflame Immortal Emperor, to the Emperor’s Palace, leaving them unaware of both the Xielei Immortal Emperor and Fairy Yun Lei siblings, as well as Fang Bai, the "Wushuang Immortal King."
Furthermore, Fang Bai, the Xielei Immortal Emperor, and Fairy Yun Lei all concealed the unique aura of Emperor’s Palace disciples, so during their initial meeting, the Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor and the other three immortals did not know who they were.
The Thunder Sword Immortal Emperor and the other three immortals, aware of the arduous situation faced by Emperor’s Palace disciples, refrained from saying anything publicly; after conversing via sound transmission, they decided to first head to the Nine Nether Thunder Sea together and discuss further upon returning.
