Chapter 2497: Chapter 2497: Bixie Emerges
From a distance, some Immortals observed Fang Bai and that stunning Fairy behaving like Immortal lovers who had not met for years, displaying intimate gestures and engaging in lively conversation. They could not help but feel both envious and jealous.
However, given that Fang Bai himself was a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, and that stunning Fairy had the Qilin Immortal Emperor as her backing, no short-sighted Immortals dared to provoke Fang Bai or bother Linghu Baimi.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion resounded in the distance, causing the void to collapse piece by piece.
Fang Bai’s Divine Sense diffused, and he saw, thousands of miles away, that Qilin Immortal Emperor had already reverted to his true form and was fighting. Yet, he was still sent flying back by a strike from the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, seemingly at a small disadvantage.
"The Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, who cultivated the Heaven Devouring Art, is much stronger now than before! The situation for the Qilin Immortal Emperor seems somewhat perilous!"
Fang Bai muttered to himself.
Though he had stolen the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor’s Heaven Devouring Art from the Golden Crow Palace, he hastily tossed it into the Five Elements Space Ring without studying it over the years, for fear that his shallow cultivation level would not resist its demonic nature, leading him to fall into the Demon Dao.
Upon witnessing the disadvantage faced by the Qilin Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai suddenly recalled the Heaven Devouring Art. He then channeled his Divine Sense into the Five Elements Space Ring, planning to browse through the Heaven Devouring Art in hopes of finding some flaws and notifying the Qilin Immortal Emperor to see if there was a chance for a counterattack.
Just as his Divine Sense entered the Five Elements Space Ring, he saw a long-lost massive figure shakily standing up from a heap of cultivation resources.
That heap of cultivation resources was in the most inconspicuous corner of the Five Elements Space Ring, a place even Fang Bai wouldn’t ordinarily pay attention to.
"This guy entered the Five Elements Space Ring back in the lower realm and has been in a deep sleep since, completely immovable by thunder. I actually forgot about it..."
Fang Bai’s Divine Sense swept over that massive figure as he murmured to himself.
That massive figure was none other than the Bixie Immortal Beast Fang Bai had collected in the lower realm.
When Fang Bai first encountered the Bixie Immortal Beast, he perceived its extraordinary bloodline and coaxed it into his Five Elements Space Ring with a few words, claiming he would take it to the Immortal Realm, where becoming a Divine Beast was not out of the question.
The Bixie Immortal Beast believed Fang Bai’s words, entered the Five Elements Space Ring with dreams of becoming a "Divine Beast," and obediently went in.
The Bixie Immortal Beast was even more prone to sleep than the Lightning Mink. After entering the Five Elements Space Ring and discovering the rich and continuous Immortal Qi, it felt supremely comfortable, found a corner, burrowed into a pile of cultivation resources, and fell into slumber.
This slumber lasted for many years, with the Bixie Immortal Beast remaining in a deep sleep, unaffected by any disturbances.
Sleeping amidst a pile of cultivation resources, its aura was extremely faint and barely detectable, making it difficult to discover its existence unless one focused intently and looked closely.
Over these years, many Immortals have come and gone in Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring. Some didn’t notice the presence of the Bixie Immortal Beast at all, while others thought it was a lifeless beast corpse in a dormant state.
Thus, for many years, the Bixie Immortal Beast remained in an overlooked state, even Fang Bai nearly forgot its existence.
Fang Bai collected the Bixie Immortal Beast initially knowing its powerful bloodline, holding a genuine potential to become a Divine Beast, hoping it would assist in rebuilding the Emperor’s Palace and avenging the top eight Immortal Emperors after reaching the Immortal Realm.
The Bixie Immortal Beast, naturally following Fang Bai, was for his promise regarding becoming a "Divine Beast."
This pair of Immortals and Immortal Beasts essentially had a mutually beneficial relationship, each taking what they needed.
"This... how is this possible?"
When the Bixie Immortal Beast stood up and roared at the sky, Fang Bai sensed the terrifying aura it released and was greatly shocked.
The Bixie Immortal Beast, at the time in the lower realm, had only an Immortal Venerable Realm cultivation level. Yet, to Fang Bai’s utter surprise, it had been rapidly progressing while asleep in the Five Elements Space Ring for all these years.
From the aura it released, the Bixie Immortal Beast’s current cultivation level had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm, slightly stronger than a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, nearly approaching the Earth Immortal Emperor.
The Bixie Immortal Beast’s astonishingly rapid advancement rate was not much less impressive compared to Fang Bai himself.
"No wonder it carries the bloodline of a Divine Beast..." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Fang Bai thought to himself.
The Bixie, a Beast Clan with a Divine Beast bloodline heritage, possessed extremely formidable combat prowess, far exceeding Immortal Beasts of the same realm. Thus, its Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivation already had the strength to battle against Emperor Realm Experts.
"Haha, you appeared at the perfect time!"
Fang Bai was delighted beyond measure upon seeing the awakened Bixie Immortal Beast and immediately released it from the Five Elements Space Ring.
"Is this... the Immortal Realm?"
Standing before Fang Bai and onto a mountain peak, Bixie Immortal Beast, initially dazed, soon became excited after looking around.
"Indeed, you are in the Immortal Realm. I kept my promise to bring you here, haven’t I?"
Fang Bai said to the Bixie Immortal Beast with a smile.
For the sudden appearance of the Bixie Immortal Beast, Linghu Baimi by Fang Bai’s side seemed unsurprised, for she was already aware of its existence in the lower realm. The only thing she couldn’t fathom was why Fang Bai released it now.
However, the next moment, when she too sensed the powerful and terrifying aura from the Bixie Immortal Beast, it seemed she understood something.
"What kind of Immortal Beast is that?"
"The aura it releases is terrifying, comparable to the Qilin Immortal Emperor... Could it be another Emperor Realm Immortal Beast?"
"Judging by its appearance, it resembles the legendary Bixie..."
"That’s impossible, right? Isn’t it said that the Bixie Immortal Beast vanished from the Immortal Realm millions of years ago?"
"Vanishing doesn’t mean disappearing; maybe it was just avoiding the world."
"It’s said that the Bixie carries a Divine Beast bloodline; I wonder if that’s true..."
"Could there really be a Divine Beast existing?"
...
All around, the observing Immortals, noticing the gigantic and overwhelming presence of the Bixie Immortal Beast, emitted their Divine Sense to examine closely, expressing their amazement aloud.
After confirming from Fang Bai’s words that this was indeed the Immortal Realm, the Bixie Immortal Beast rode Auspicious Clouds, darting around in the void, bursting with excitement.
For the Bixie Immortal Beast, the environment in the Immortal Realm, much like Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring, made it feel extremely comfortable, deeming it the best place for its cultivation.
Though the far-off battle between the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor and the Qilin Immortal Emperor also caught its attention, since it was irrelevant to itself, it only glanced at it before losing interest.
Seeing the Bixie Immortal Beast frolicking freely in the void without a hint of a Quasi-Emperor’s demeanor, Fang Bai sighed and called, "Bixie, come down first, I have something to say!"
The Bixie Immortal Beast landed before him, excitedly saying, "What is it? Hurry, I haven’t played enough!"
Fang Bai said, "Firstly, you can play, but could you transform into human form first? You look quite terrifying in your current state! Secondly, before you play, could you help me with something?"
