Free Web NovelChapter 2525: Chapter 2525: The Special Aspect
It is not easy for disciples of the Emperor’s Palace to advance in ranks; it often requires multiple accumulations of enlightenment to achieve a breakthrough in one go.
However, once Emperor’s Palace disciples advance in ranks, their combat power is considerably stronger than other immortals of the same realm.
Therefore, although the Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and other immortals have many insights, they did not leave in haste for secluded cultivation like other immortals, but instead stayed put, waiting for the void phenomena to end.
As the Golden Crow was about to set and darkness descended upon the Immortal Realm, the image in the void suddenly transformed.
In the image, two immortals whose figures and appearances were indistinct faced off across the void, their sleeves fluttering and their words manifesting laws, clearly surpassing the previous Emperor Realm expert duel by several levels.
However, this image lasted only for a dozen breaths; then the void around the two immortals collapsed and shattered in large swathes, and subsequently, both immortals vanished into Endless Space. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The void phenomena that lasted ten whole days vanished completely at that moment when the two immortal figures retreated into Endless Space.
Yet the recent scene in the image was awe-inspiring to all the immortals present, including Fang Bai, leaving them in prolonged contemplation.
"The two immortals in the final duel bore divine brilliance flowing around them, every move exuded Taoist rhyme, clearly stronger than the previous Emperor Realm experts!"
"Could they be the legendary Great Emperors?"
"In the celestial-demonic-fey great war millions of years ago, there was indeed Great Emperor participation!"
"Millions of years ago, it seems all clans in the Immortal Realm had Great Emperor level experts, but where those Great Emperors went afterward is unknown?"
"This is an unsolvable mystery! Perhaps only by reaching that realm oneself can one know?"
"It is said that besides the nine Heavenly Domains in the Immortal Realm, there are other dimensions... Whether this is true or not..."
...
The deities snapped out of their shock, looked up to the void, and discussed it heatedly.
Even Fang Bai was amazed by that exceptional sight moments ago.
In his previous life, Fang Bai often observed the void-appearing battle scenes at the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, always witnessing clashes among Emperor Realm experts, but had never seen such a duel between two Great Emperors.
Although the scene of the two Great Emperors’ duel lasted just a dozen breaths, the Taoist rhyme they evolved with each move, the vast collapse of void, all demonstrated deeper insight into the Great Dao and immortal power far exceeding Emperor Realm experts, enough to awe Fang Bai.
Fang Bai felt it was a pity that the scene of the two Great Emperors’ duel was ephemeral like an ephemeron too brief, though he keenly captured some insights, feeling some enlightenment within, yet found it hard to fully comprehend for the moment, having to forcibly note them down for contemplation later.
As an outstanding War Emperor of his generation, even Fang Bai gained little enlightenment from the duel between the two Great Emperors. Naturally, none of the other immortals present could either, though they only found the duel between the two Great Emperors too awe-inspiring, a sight unseen in their lives, emitting sighs of amazement, yearning in their hearts.
After a while, the immortals finally left one after another.
Some sat idle for ten days without gaining anything, left shaking their heads with sighs, dejected expressions, vowing to return in a hundred years.
Some gained a little, leaving with exuberant spirits, preparing to return and undergo secluded cultivation, searching for opportunities again in a hundred years.
Those immortals who had enlightenment earlier left early, among them were the best qualified and most gainful ones; some broke through realms after secluded cultivation, progressing smoothly in rank.
"Palace Master, shouldn’t we leave?"
Seeing other immortals about to leave, Fang Bai remained seated immobile, as Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor asked.
"No rush..."
Fang Bai’s lips curled into a faint smile.
In the eyes of the Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor and other immortals, this smile seemed profound and unfathomable.
"Have you discovered something?"
Linghu Baimi, having been Fang Bai’s fellow immortal couple for years, knew that he must be withholding something from the other immortals when she saw his smile, nudged him with her elbow, and asked with her long, charming eyes blinking.
Fang Bai responded by asking instead: "Do you know why, millions of years ago, immortals, demons, and fey chose this place as one of their battlefields?"
Linghu Baimi extended her Divine Sense outward, meticulously searched around but couldn’t find anything, shook her head and said: "I don’t know... Is there something special here?"
Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor, Xiao Qi, and Rou Fu and her three sisters also released Divine Sense to probe, yet sensed nothing special, then focused their gaze on Fang Bai.
"Beneath the peaks here, are buried vast veins of Immortal Stone..."
Fang Bai pointed to the mountains around the valley and said: "However, the veins of Immortal Stone are buried deep, and their sealing is excellent, hence ordinary immortals cannot sense them. And the celestial, demon, and fey powerhouses in the great war millions of years ago were immensely powerful; they chose this as one of their battlefields because they could absorb Immortal Qi from the underground veins of Immortal Stone to maintain combat strength..."
Being described as "vast veins of Immortal Stone" by Fang Bai indicated the reserves are indeed astonishing.
Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor’s eyes brightened up, his Divine Sense attempted to infiltrate beneath the peaks, but upon reaching a depth of tens of miles, was blocked by an extremely hardy and compact layer of rock, unable to further penetrate.
He might not have probed the veins of Immortal Stone, but since the Palace Master said there were veins of Immortal Stone, there certainly were.
"Since there are veins of Immortal Stone, let’s excavate and take them away!"
Rou Ling said excitedly.
"But we don’t have any spare Space Immortal Rings anymore! Even Brother Fang’s Five Elements Space Ring is almost full!"
Rou Fu poured cold water.
Rou Xin said: "Then Brother Fang should refine more Space Immortal Rings!"
Rou Zhi shook her head and said: "Brother Fang said the veins of Immortal Stone here are immense; even if there were Space Immortal Rings, we couldn’t take much away!"
Fang Bai listened to them noisily suggesting ideas, shook his head smiling, and decisively said: "These veins of Immortal Stone, numbering in billions, remain undiscovered by other immortals, a blessing for us! Well, let them remain buried here for now. When the Emperor’s Palace is rebuilt, we’ll find a way to mine them for the cultivation use of the Emperor’s Palace disciples."
Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor clapped his hands with excitement: "Yes! If the Emperor’s Palace is rebuilt in the future, it would surely lack cultivation resources. With these veins of Immortal Stone, it could alleviate eventual shortages."
He said this, his expression suddenly dimmed, voice somewhat low, sighed: "Just not sure, how many brethren survived now in the Immortal Realm..."
Fang Bai said: "Regardless of life or death, all are Great Dao calamities. Among them, the unfortunate ones might have their form and spirit extinguished; but the fortunate ones might have the opportunity for reincarnation. But I believe the rebuilt Emperor’s Palace will be stronger than ever!"
Heavenly Dao cycles endlessly.
Fang Bai hoped those fallen disciples of the Emperor’s Palace could have opportunities for reincarnation, or like him, directly possess a body for rebirth, then either cultivate anew in the secular world, or in the three thousand Minor Worlds and three thousand Greater Worlds.
