As immortals from various factions continued to arrive, Tianqing Peak gradually beca lively.
Fang Bai spread out his Divine Sense, silently observing, and discovered that among the thousands of immortals already seated, most were Immortal King Realm experts, with a smaller portion being Immortal Emperor Realm experts, and as of now, no Immortal Emperor had arrived.
Nevertheless, this was Fang Bai’s first ti attending such a grand event filled with powerful beings since his rebirth.
Among the immortals, Fang Bai spotted many whom he was familiar with in his previous life, so of whom had good relations with the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace.
Fang Bai understood that those invited might have been deceived by the Ice River Immortal Emperor, unaware of the true events that led to the downfall of the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, or that they had simply allied with the Ice River Immortal Emperor, breaking ties with the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, or were forced to bow to the Ice River Immortal Emperor’s power.
Since the immortals present were all experts of the Immortal King or Immortal Emperor Realm, Fang Bai dared not be careless, quickly retracting his Divine Sense to avoid being detected and causing unnecessary trouble.
From the information obtained from the Burning Heaven Venerable’s mind, Fang Bai knew that the Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm Alchemist had attended the Ice River Immortal Emperor’s birthday banquet more than once, as he was an Alchemist with great potential, and many immortals were willing to lower themselves to associate with him.
After Fang Bai took his seat, immortals occasionally approached him for conversation, although they were mostly First or Second Grade Immortal King Realm experts.
In contrast, the Demon Slaying Immortal sitting next to Fang Bai was well-connected, with a constant stream of immortals coming to exchange pleasantries with him.
"This is my immortal friend, known as the Burning Heaven Venerable."
While chatting with the other immortals, the Demon Slaying Immortal took care to introduce Fang Bai.
"With your talent, you’ll soon advance to the Immortal King Realm and be able to craft King Grade Immortal Pills. I’m introducing you to so immortal friends now, so once you beco an Immortal King Realm Alchemist, your business will thrive!"
Once the other immortals left, the Demon Slaying Immortal smiled and said to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai knew that the Demon Slaying Immortal was not doing this out of pure kindness, but to build a good relationship with him so that in the future, if he needed Fang Bai’s alchemy services, he could receive priority and more benefits.
Nonetheless, Fang Bai expressed his gratitude to the Demon Slaying Immortal.
As more immortals continued to arrive, the Tianqing Peak Plaza, which could accommodate tens of thousands of immortals, beca increasingly bustling with the sound of voices.
It was at this mont that a Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm female immortal, led by a female disciple from the Ice River Palace, took a seat beside Fang Bai.
This female immortal looked very young on the surface, dressed in a purple dress, with a cold expression and a chill emanating from her, giving off a deanor of keeping strangers at bay.
"Is it really her? Could she have allied with the Ice River Immortal Emperor?"
Upon seeing the Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm female immortal, Fang Bai furrowed his brows tightly, a peculiar glint in his eyes.
This female immortal, known as the Icefla Fairy, was a disciple under the deceased Elder Fiery Emperor of the Emperor’s Palace, deeply cherished by the Fiery Emperor, and Fang Bai, in his previous life as the War Emperor, had also guided her.
Fang Bai knew that the Icefla Fairy appeared gentle on the outside but was firm inside, cold on the outside but warm inside, not one to fear death. He had assud she had perished during the Fiery Emperor’s downfall, but unexpectedly encountered her here.
Upon noticing the Icefla Fairy here, Fang Bai first thought that she may have betrayed the Emperor’s Palace for the Ice River Immortal Emperor, but then he caught sight of intense unwillingness and hatred in her eyes, suspecting that things might not be so simple.
"Hey, this Icefla Fairy doesn’t show any favor towards male immortals and acts at the slightest provocation. Don’t provoke her! Otherwise, she won’t hesitate to kill you, Alchemist or not!"
Seeing Fang Bai glance frequently at the Icefla Fairy, the Demon Slaying Immortal, thinking he might be interested in her, tugged at his sleeve and transmitted a warning.
Fang Bai’s cultivation was only at the Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm, whereas the Icefla Fairy was a Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm expert; she could easily kill Fang Bai if she wanted.
Moreover, the Demon Slaying Immortal had heard that the Icefla Fairy was favored by the Ice River Immortal Emperor. Although she was a disciple of the Emperor’s Palace, the Ice River Immortal Emperor was reluctant to kill her, hoping to recruit her into the Ice River Palace.
The Demon Slaying Immortal’s warning seed to co too late, as the Icefla Fairy suddenly turned her head, casting a cold glance at Fang Bai, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
If it had been any other immortal below the Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm, they would have imdiately averted their eyes, not daring to look at her again under her killing gaze.
However, Fang Bai seed unaffected, nodding with a smile at the Icefla Fairy.
The Icefla Fairy raised her fine eyebrows, surprised beyond asure.
She could already tell that Fang Bai was a Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm expert. If it were any other immortal of the sa realm, they would have been terrified by her gaze, yet this immortal was unflinching, which was quite unusual.
Even though her gaze didn’t carry the pressure of a Fifth Grade Immortal King Realm expert, the murderous intent in her eyes was nearly tangible and contained a hint of spiritual attack, which could instantly break Fang Bai’s spirits if he was slightly wavering.
After glancing at the Icefla Fairy a few tis, Fang Bai seated himself properly again, facing forward.
Though he no longer looked at the Icefla Fairy, she beca sowhat interested in him, silently observing his every move with her Divine Sense.
The Demon Slaying Immortal, seeing this, felt a deep concern, transmitting a ssage to Fang Bai, "It’s over! It’s over! The Icefla Fairy has noticed you! She won’t cause trouble during the banquet, but once it ends, she’ll surely co after you! You better look after yourself!"
He looked at Fang Bai with a wry smile, as if saying, "You’re dood."
Several hours later, the esteed guests invited by the Ice River Immortal Emperor arrived, among them three Immortal Emperors who appeared at the last mont, serving as the grand finale.
Fang Bai didn’t recognize these three Immortal Emperors, likely having reached their realm after his fall.
In the Immortal Realm, Immortal Emperors can be divided into four major realms: early, mid, high, and pinnacle, with pinnacle Immortal Emperors also known as top-tier Immortal Emperors. Fang Bai, once titled the War Emperor, was among the most powerful of the top-tier Immortal Emperors.
The three Immortal Emperors were all recently advanced early-stage Immortal Emperors, incomparable to Fang Bai of the past.
With tens of thousands of immortals participating in the birthday banquet, they were seated according to their strength and status, from high to low.
Fang Bai’s and the Demon Slaying Immortal’s seats were relatively obscure, their strength not being formidable, nor their status noteworthy in the Immortal Realm, making them less likely to draw attention.
But those three Immortal Emperors were seated at the very center of the Qingtian Peak Plaza, a focal point for all to see.
"Immortals from afar gather at the Ice River Palace, truly making our humble palace flourish!"
When everyone was seated, a charming laugh rang in their ears. Then a young, stunning female immortal, appearing only seventeen or eighteen, gracefully floated out from the Palace Master Hall of the Ice River Palace, stepping gracefully as if lotuses blood at each step, arriving at the plaza.
