Free Web NovelChapter 2500: Chapter 2500: Not the Solution
Fang Bai, along with Qilin Immortal Emperor, Linghu Baimi, and Bixie Immortal Beast, arrived at a hidden place and held long discussions for several days.
"I’ve spent a millennium in the Skyflame Forest; it’s time for me to travel around the Immortal Realm!"
Upon hearing that Fang Bai was searching for ascended immortals from the lower realm, the Qilin Immortal Emperor immediately offered to lend his help.
Fang Bai was overjoyed at the news, thinking that with such a powerful ally as the Qilin Immortal Emperor, he could save a lot of time and greatly increase his efficiency.
Though the Qilin Immortal Emperor hadn’t founded any Immortal Sect or School and worked alone, he could easily command many powerful Immortal Birds and Beasts, and his divine sense could span thousands of miles. Fang Bai humbly conceded that his own capabilities in searching for immortals in the Immortal Realm were inferior.
"Bixie, you shouldn’t just idle around. Travel throughout the Immortal Realm and help me search for friends and family!"
Fang Bai glanced at the Bixie Immortal Beast, thinking that since it was now a Quasi-Emperor capable of traversing the Immortal Realm, it couldn’t just stay idly in his Five Elements Space Ring and sleep. It needed something to do.
The Bixie Immortal Beast, carrying the bloodline of a Divine Beast, thrived in the Immortal Qi-rich environment of the Immortal Realm, like a tiger returning to the mountains or a dragon to the sea. Its cultivation level would advance rapidly. Letting it experience more would not only quicken its path to proving the Dao and becoming an Immortal Emperor but also leverage its abilities to find more ascended immortals from the lower realms.
Therefore, Fang Bai decided not to have the Bixie Immortal Beast accompany him.
He gave some messaging jade tokens to the Bixie Immortal Beast and exchanged a few with the Qilin Immortal Emperor for future communication.
Afterwards, the Qilin Immortal Emperor and the Bixie Immortal Beast each embarked on their own journeys, wandering the Immortal Realm.
Before parting, the Qilin Immortal Emperor also gifted Fang Bai several royal-grade cultivation resources, which Fang Bai graciously accepted.
Currently, Fang Bai’s cultivation consumed a staggering number of resources, and royal-grade resources, one portion of which was equivalent to ten portions of Immortal Emperor level, were perfect for him.
Fang Bai and Linghu Baimi, who hadn’t seen each other for many years, did not rush to leave the Secret Realm. They stayed there temporarily, wrapped in affection daily.
After continuous dual cultivation and with the aid of treasures like the Water of Life from Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring, within a month, Linghu Baimi’s cultivation level advanced further, reaching the Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm. ƒreewebɳovel.com
The Immortal Artifact Linghu Baimi previously used was outdated, so Fang Bai crafted a new one for her at the Immortal Emperor level.
Although she was merely at the Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm, her dual attribute innate spiritual root granted her extraordinary physique, allowing her to wield an Immortal Emperor level artifact effortlessly.
With the addition of the Immortal Emperor level artifact, Linghu Baimi’s combat power soared, easily holding her own against opponents of the Seventh Grade Immortal King Realm.
"Though I wish to have you all to myself, that would be too selfish and unfair to the other sisters! It’s time for us to set off!"
That day, it wasn’t Fang Bai who mentioned leaving, but rather Linghu Baimi who started urging him.
Not to mention other friends and family, Fang Bai’s soulmates from the lower realm had yet to be fully found. Linghu Baimi, with her keen mind, knew that although Fang Bai seemed unhurried, he was considering her feelings; yet, inside, he must be longing to leave.
Linghu Baimi was not a narrow-minded female immortal; she cared deeply about Fang Bai’s feelings. She understood that what Fang Bai truly wanted was a grand reunion with friends and family in the Immortal Realm.
Only then could he settle his heart to cultivate, or else he would be troubled by inner demons, making it difficult to restore his peak state from his previous life.
Linghu Baimi indeed guessed Fang Bai’s thoughts correctly.
Fang Bai had already thought about leaving a few days prior, but seeing Linghu Baimi’s attachment to him and reflecting on their years apart, he hadn’t had the heart to mention it.
Since Linghu Baimi had brought up leaving first, Fang Bai no longer hesitated, taking her along as they rode the Single-Horned Dragon Horse and embarked on their aimless celestial journey.
The Single-Horned Dragon Horse sped a thousand miles in a day, flying swiftly.
During this time, they passed by several small-scale Immortal Cities and Immortal Towns. With no sign or trace of ascended immortals, they only made short stays before leaving.
"Fang Bai, searching like this is getting us nowhere!"
A month later, while flying, Linghu Baimi leaned against Fang Bai’s embrace, speaking idly.
Fang Bai gently held the soft warmth in his arms, inhaling the fragrance in her hair, and said, "The Immortal Realm is vast. Searching for certain immortals is harder than finding a needle in a haystack! So, we shouldn’t rush... we’ll find them slowly, eventually!"
Linghu Baimi said, "I know, your biggest concern is still about the Dragon Maiden and the others... Hmm, according to what you told me before, those yet to be found are the Dragon Maiden, Zhuge Lian, Liu Qingqing, and Lu Liyu... If we count Fortune’s Blessing, Shi Xiaolian, and Yan Muyu, if we find them all, your soulmates will be complete..."
Fang Bai listened to her enumerate them like cherished treasures, noticing the hint of bitterness in her charming eyes, and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
In fact, Fang Bai had never been involved with women like Fortune’s Blessing before ascending to the Immortal Realm, so they couldn’t really be considered immortal companions. However, to say they weren’t soulmates would be somewhat self-deceiving.
When they first met Fang Bai, they were still young. As they matured, they developed feelings for him. But at the time, Fang Bai already had enough soulmates around him and didn’t want to accrue more emotional debts, so he deliberately ignored them, hoping they would find their own beloved immortal companions. freewёbnoνel.com
However, having been with Fang Bai for years, they had long been enamored with him. Other men seemed mundane in their eyes, unable to compare to Fang Bai.
As a result, despite Fang Bai’s lack of expression, they were not looking for other immortal companions, just waiting for the day Fang Bai would accept them.
Seeing this, Fang Bai’s heart softened, and he made a pact with them. Once everyone ascended to the Immortal Realm, if they still couldn’t find sincere companions, they would discuss the matter then.
At this moment, when Linghu Baimi suddenly mentioned the women, Fang Bai thought of his agreement with them. His heart both wished they had found their true love in the Immortal Realm and feared seeing other male immortals by their sides, a deeply conflicted sentiment.
As he pondered, he suddenly noticed a large lake gathering thousands of immortals outside an Immortal City below, looking like ants, although the reason was unclear.
The vast lake’s water was strangely purple-red, boiling like broth, with steam constantly rising, and bubbles gurgling up from the lakebed.
The bubbles burst above the lake, releasing wisps of purple Immortal Qi that hovered above the water.
The concentrated purple Immortal Qi coagulated on the lake’s surface, dense and tangible, infused with immense power.
"There’s likely a peerless Immortal Elixir at the bottom of this lake!"
Fang Bai looked down at the dense purple Immortal Qi lingering over the lake, murmuring to himself.
