"Hmm?"
Hearing Fang Bai ntion the gray-clad immortal he had let go, Xuan Ze paused for a mont, then smiled and said, "Are you worried he’ll seek revenge?"
"He will definitely seek revenge!"
Fang Bai nodded solemnly, completely confident in his judgnt.
Xuan Ze dismissed the thought, saying, "A re ant cannot stir up much trouble."
Fang Bai said, "What if behind the ant lies a giant?"
Xuan Ze laughed heartily and said boldly, "Whether it’s an ant or a giant, if they dare to provoke again, I’ll fight them head-on!"
Fang Bai chuckled, choosing not to argue further.
In his previous life, he had founded the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, where each disciple had the courage to fight like this.
This fearlessness and bravery were comndable.
But after experiencing rebirth from possession in this life, Fang Bai valued life more.
What he hoped for in the Emperor’s Palace disciples in this life was not only the courage to fight but also the strength to win, minimizing unnecessary sacrifices.
"Why don’t you four follow ..."
Xuan Ze glanced around, then said to Fang Bai and the other four immortals, "Many immortals have set their sights on you now. With , they’d be wary and less inclined to make a move. What do you think?"
Though he hadn’t yet figured out the background of Fang Bai and the other four immortals, sensing a familiar aura from them, he guessed they had connections to the Emperor’s Palace, hence he intended to protect them as much as he could.
Fang Bai and the other four immortals understood that with Xuan Ze’s protection, they’d be much safer; otherwise, they might not even make it out of the Five Elents Tower.
"Thank you, Upper Immortal."
Thus, after exchanging looks and reaching an agreent, Fang Bai and the other four immortals nodded in unison, leaving their original team to join Xuan Ze.
Xuan Ze had ventured into the Five Elents Tower alone, without joining an immortal’s team. Now, with Fang Bai and the other four immortals around, it sowhat beca a small team.
However, if they did encounter a formidable enemy, only Xuan Ze could fight. As for Fang Bai and the other four immortals, it’d be good enough if they didn’t beco his burden.
"I also have a few friends who ca with , but they should be in other spaces within the Five Elents Tower training right now. When we leave the tower, I’ll introduce them to you."
Xuan Ze said to Fang Bai and the other four immortals.
Peng Wu, Ying Luo, Yu Feng—the three immortals—nodded eagerly, excited beyond asure.
In their minds, becoming friends with a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert like Xuan Ze surely indicates great strength, and befriending more such experts through Xuan Ze would certainly benefit their future journey on the immortal path.
Fang Bai also smiled lightly.
He knew that descendants of the Emperor’s Palace like Xuan Ze would be extrely cautious and prudent in making friends, so those he called "friends" were likely, like him, either Emperor’s Palace descendants or individuals closely associated with the Emperor’s Palace.
"In this area around the Immortal Mountain, besides immortal elixirs, there are only so immortal birds and beasts. How about we explore elsewhere and hopefully find greater rewards? Well, I’ve trained several tis in the Five Elents Tower before, and rember there are so secret immortal realms for immortals to temper their mind and body..."
Xuan Ze spread his divine sense while seeking Fang Bai and the other four immortals’ opinions.
His thoughts aligned with Fang Bai’s, so Fang Bai nodded without hesitation.
Peng Wu and the other three immortals now followed Xuan Ze’s lead, and would not oppose whatever he said.
Thus, the five immortals, led by Xuan Ze, left the Immortal Mountain lake ahead and flew towards another place.
During the flight, Xuan Ze used the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, subtly probing Fang Bai with so questions. Upon confirming that Fang Bai was indeed a descendant of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace in the past, he smiled and looked at Fang Bai with increasingly amicable and close intentions.
Xuan Ze wasn’t worried Fang Bai would deceive him because the questions he asked were all about Emperor’s Palace’s secrets that cannot be known unless one was a core or important disciple of the palace.
And the core or important disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were already deeply imprinted with loyalty to Fang Bai and the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, and would rather die than betray.
The Eight Immortal Emperors had vigorously pursued the Emperor’s Palace disciples a thousand years ago upon destroying the palace, yet so important disciples had managed to escape, hiding across the Immortal Realm, lying low, cultivating arduously, waiting for the chance to avenge.
Even though the Eight Immortal Emperors were imnsely powerful with many informants, the Immortal Realm was vast and hiding places were countless, and those palace disciples were adept at concealing their auras and changing appearances, making it challenging to annihilate them.
After verifying that Fang Bai was indeed a descendant of the Emperor’s Palace, Xuan Ze felt at ease and didn’t ask further questions.
Although Fang Bai was the weakest among the four immortals around Xuan Ze, he was most valued by Xuan Ze for possessing the Innate Spiritual Root, along with his extraordinary talent and mastery of the Azure Sea Giant Wave Art.
"Do you see that small lake below?"
After flying for a while, Xuan Ze suddenly pointed downward and said, "I rember this lake also existed during the training a century ago. It’s called ’Dragon Blood Lake’ by the immortals, said to be ford by the ancient Divine Dragon’s blood. The lake contains imnse Immortal Qi and formidable power, and so fearless immortals soak in it. Rumor has it the longer one can endure, the greater the benefits they receive."
Fang Bai, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but feel stirred.
In his previous life, when he trained in this Five Elents Tower, the "Dragon Blood Lake" had appeared several tis as well. Soaking and cultivating in the Dragon Blood Lake not only significantly enhanced an immortal’s physical toughness but also could temper their will, strengthen divine sense, thereby achieving breakthroughs and advancing levels.
The Dragon Blood Lake wasn’t large, spanning only about a hundred zhang, forming an oval shape, and could accommodate hundreds of immortals simultaneously soaking and cultivating within.
The blood of the Dragon Blood Lake was as black as ink, thick like magma, with boiling lake water constantly emitting mist from the surface.
At this very mont, there were already dozens of immortals soaking in the black water.
However, none of them could persist long in the lake; the longest only lasted about a hundred breaths.
So immortals, upon entering the lake for a short ti, couldn’t bear the imnse pain inflicted on their body by the lake’s water and had to fly out, unable to dare enter again.
Xuan Ze, Fang Bai, Peng Wu, Ying Luo, Yu Feng—five immortals—landed on a small mountain not far from the Dragon Blood Lake, quietly observing.
"With our cultivation level at the Earth Immortal Realm, if we entered the Dragon Blood Lake, I’m afraid we’d barely last ten breaths!"
Seeing a strong Earth Immortal Realm rival, who couldn’t even stay for ten breaths after entering the Dragon Blood Lake, screaming and flying out, with extensive skin and flesh wounds on his body, resembling a blood-stained figure, Ying Luo couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine and stuck out his tongue, saying.
