Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2024: Celebration

Although Yan Muyu and the other women were not destined to participate in this Martial Dao companion ceremony with Fang Bai, they each made a secret three-year pact with Fang Bai, which untangled the knots in their hearts.

As a result, smiles reappeared on their faces, each beautiful in its purity, charm, or allure.

For this grand celebration at the Emperor’s Palace, ten thousand disciples paused their cultivation under the command of Fairy Xuanbing to adorn the palace, infusing the place with a rich celebratory atmosphere.

Lu Liyu, the "Chief Steward of the Emperor’s Palace" who manages numerous cultivation resources, discussed with Fang Bai and other high-ranking members of the palace, and decided to distribute a generous amount of cultivation resources as "red envelopes" to the palace disciples, which sparked exuberant cheers from them.

As the celebration approached, sect forces from across the three thousand major worlds, friendly with Fang Bai and the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, began arriving successively.

Today, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace enjoys widespread renown as the acknowledged number one powerful sect across the three thousand major worlds, so all sect forces that received Fang Bai’s invitation came with their palace masters or leaders personally leading the entourage, giving Fang Bai ample respect.

Meanwhile, some sect forces arrived uninvited, bringing with them generous cultivation resources as gifts.

For these sect forces that were clearly trying to curry favor, the palace conducted a screening process, expelling any with a bad reputation and welcoming the rest into the palace without hesitation.

As the number of guests attending to offer their congratulations exceeded the original estimates, Fang Bai decided to hold the celebration at the square in front of the mountain gate.

After seizing a new body and being reborn, Fang Bai had lived in the secular world of Huaxia for some time, so he incorporated some ancient Huaxia ceremonial elements into the Martial Dao companion ceremony with the women.

Under the watchful eyes of the ten thousand palace disciples and various guests, the entire ceremony was conducted simply, yet grandly.

Before the ceremony began, Fang Bai invited the original parents of the seized body’s soul, Fang Gang and Yang Mei, to witness this grand celebration.

Although Fang Gang and Yang Mei were of average talent and not highly cultivated, their special status placed them among the high ranks of the palace.

Fang Bai always harbored a sense of guilt towards them, intending to do everything possible to enable them to ascend to the Immortal Realm, considering it a form of compensation for seizing their son’s body.

As for Fang Yun, possessing an Innate Spiritual Root, her current cultivation level was on par with Xia Chenyu and the other women, with the hope of ascending to the Immortal Realm along with Fang Bai and others.

Once the ceremony concluded, Qin Yaorao, Xia Chenyu, and the other women, led by female disciples of the palace, returned to their respective residences.

Fang Bai, however, would engage in dual cultivation with them sometime after the celebration, truly becoming Martial Dao companions.

After the women left, Fang Bai accompanied the various guests to the grand luncheon at the Emperor’s Palace.

The cultivators’ feast differed greatly from that of ordinary people; instead of rice and vegetables, they consumed spiritual fruits, spiritual wine, spirit beast meat, and other substances imbued with spiritual energy.

This Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace luncheon didn’t serve spiritual fruit but did offer spiritual wine and spirit beast meat.

The spirit beast meat was personally hunted by several palace elders from the nearby deep forests, consisting of spirit beasts on par with the Great Calamity Period of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

Such spirit beast meat, when grilled, not only tasted tender and delicious but also greatly benefited cultivators’ cultivation.

The spiritual wine was brewed using a secret formula provided by Fang Bai, incorporating dozens of spiritual flowers and fruits. After drinking a cup, the guests felt spiritual energy coursing through their bodies, comparable to a year’s worth of secluded cultivation.

The guests were both delighted and amazed by the miraculous spiritual wine but lamented that each only had one jar, roughly equating to ten cups; otherwise, their trip to the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace would have been extremely rewarding.

After the luncheon, Fang Bai invited the various guests to the main hall of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor Palace, stating that there was an important matter to discuss.

Curiously, the guests followed Fang Bai to the main hall of the Emperor’s Palace, where they seated themselves according to their strength and seniority.

"Palace Master Fang, what matter do you wish to discuss with us?"

Zhongli Tian, the Sect Master of the Green Bamboo Sect and an old acquaintance of Fang Bai, was the first to speak after taking his seat.

Fang Bai smiled, his gaze sweeping over Zhongli Tian and the other guests, and said leisurely, "I have a way to ascend to immortality here; are any of you interested?"

His words were like stones cast into a serene lake, causing waves of excitement.

The sect masters or leaders of the hundred or so powerful and major sects present stirred with excitement, their gazes toward Fang Bai containing a fervent intensity.

Zhongli Tian said, "Palace Master Fang, our ultimate goal as Thunder Tribulation cultivators is to transcend the realm of the Ninefold Heavy Tribulations and ascend to the Immortal Realm. Why wouldn’t we be interested?"

"Indeed!"

The eyes of the other hundred or so sect masters and leaders lit up, and they agreed in unison.

The sect masters and leaders present were all seasoned and shrewd powerhouses, knowing that someone of Fang Bai’s stature would not speak groundlessly.

Fang Bai clapped his hands, "It’s good that you’re interested!"

With those words, he clapped his hands, and then Fairy Xuanbing appeared, holding a wooden tray in her hands and standing in the center of the hall.

"On this wooden tray are cultivation techniques representing the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and the Seven Attributes of Wind and Thunder! These techniques I obtained from several celestial ruins..."

Fang Bai pointed to several scrolls made of unknown materials on the wooden tray held by Fairy Xuanbing, explaining slowly.

Upon hearing the phrase "celestial ruins," the breathing of the hundred or so sect masters and leaders in the hall instantly became heavy, their eyes widening in astonishment.

They realized that Fang Bai’s words were likely true.

Ever since Fairy Xuanbing appeared in the hall, they had been sensing the formidable pressure emanating from the scrolls on the wooden tray.

The pressure was so immense that even those who were Thunder Tribulation Ninefold or Half-Immortal Rank powerhouses found it nearly unbearable.

They knew those scrolls were extraordinary but hadn’t expected them to be the legendary Immortal Rank cultivation techniques.

"I plan to share these Immortal Rank cultivation techniques with you all!"

Ignoring the intense emotions of the sect masters and leaders, Fang Bai continued, "However, I have one condition!"

"What condition, Palace Master Fang, just say it!"

One sect master from a super sect couldn’t wait to speak.

This sect master had been at the Half-Immortal Rank Realm for more than six decades, yet had been unable to make further breakthroughs. Seeing that his lifespan would reach its limit in several decades, he was more anxious than others.

His super sect didn’t lack cultivation resources, but what they truly lacked were higher-level techniques. If he could obtain an Immortal Rank cultivation technique, he might comprehend some of the Great Dao Principles and find a shortcut for his future cultivation.

Other sect masters or leaders shared the same thoughts, though they were unsure of what condition Fang Bai would present.
