Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2137: You Are Not Worthy to Know My Title!
The journey proceeded without any incidents, and Fang Bai eventually flew out of the Endless Abyss with ease.
As he passed by the pool that gathered the Water of Life, Fang Bai conveniently took some of it along, planning to let the disciple Hongyan, who possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, along with friends and family, consume it later to enhance their cultivation strength.
The Water of Life contains Supreme Immortal Power, which ordinary Immortals cannot drink. Only Immortals with Innate Spiritual Roots, with their robust bodies, can withstand the impact of the Supreme Immortal Power from the Water of Life, and thereby benefit from it.
Entering and leaving the Endless Abyss, Fang Bai’s cultivation level advanced by an entire major realm, and his strength was now vastly different from before.
After leaving the Endless Abyss and returning to the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees, Fang Bai, whose cultivation had greatly improved, gained confidence and no longer concealed his presence or deliberately avoided the powerful Immortal Beasts in the forest as he flew.
When he encountered Immortal Beasts below the Immortal Venerable Realm, Fang Bai directly suppressed and killed them with Immortal Power. When he encountered those above the Immortal Venerable Realm, he engaged with them fully, sharpening himself in battle.
"Old Sir Yuansheng, you snatched my Immortal Elixir, I’ll fight you to the death!"
While traversing the dense forest of the Forest of Ten Thousand Trees, Fang Bai suddenly heard a familiar voice. It was that stubborn, straightforward Tu Mo.
Fang Bai dispersed his Divine Sense and discovered that a hundred Baili away, Tu Mo was battling a short and stout Immortal with white hair.
Tu Mo was full of anger, seemingly in a state of frenzy and out of control, only attacking and not defending at all, purely fighting with his life on the line.
The combat power of that short and stout Immortal was clearly superior to Tu Mo’s. Facing Tu Mo’s frenzied attacks, he remained composed, responding calmly, with a trace of contemptuous, mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.
"I took your Immortal Elixir as a sign of respect for you! Fight to the death? Heh heh... with you, it’s more like you’re seeking death!"
The short and stout Immortal suddenly counterattacked, and from his short stature, reaching only Tu Mo’s waist, unleashed a tremendous energy with a casual punch, striking Tu Mo’s abdomen, propelling his enormous body upwards, crashing through the dense canopy overhead, and soaring several hundred feet into the sky.
In midair, Tu Mo, already severely injured, rose to his limit and then plummeted like a meteor, crashing to the ground with a thunderous bang, creating a large pit a fathom deep.
Amidst the swirling dust, the figure of the short and stout Immortal appeared at the edge of the pit.
"If you had obediently handed over the Space Immortal Ring earlier, I might have spared your life. Now, it’s too late!"
The short and stout Immortal muttered to himself, reaching out with his right hand to form an ethereal grasping motion. A large hand formed from condensed Immortal Qi lifted Tu Mo’s body and brought him before him.
"Old Sir Yuansheng, today if I, Tu Mo, do not die, I will tear you to pieces!"
Although gravely injured and without the power to retaliate, Tu Mo’s mind was still clear, and he spoke resolutely in the face of his impending death.
"Heh... too bad you won’t have the chance!"
The short and stout Immortal sneered coldly, and with a slight flick of his mind, a Trident Immortal Spear already hovered aimed at Tu Mo’s Qi Sea.
As soon as his murderous intent stirred, that Trident Immortal Spear could easily pierce the extremely weakened Tu Mo’s Qi Sea, destroying it completely.
Once the Qi Sea was destroyed, his cultivation would be wasted, and Tu Mo’s body would no longer withstand the overwhelming Immortal Might of the Immortal Realm, eventually turning into a mist of blood, both form and spirit obliterated.
"Stop!"
A cold voice reached the short and stout Immortal’s ears.
The voice wasn’t loud, but when it reached the short and stout Immortal, it was like celestial thunder, making him shudder. The Immortal hand formed from condensed Immortal Qi immediately dispersed and vanished, and the Trident Immortal Spear hovering in the air also temporarily lost the short and stout Immortal’s control, falling to the ground along with Tu Mo.
In the next moment, Fang Bai, who was hundreds of Baili away just a moment ago, appeared immediately before the short and stout Immortal.
"Fang... Immortal Friend Fang..."
Seeing Fang Bai, clad in pure white, Tu Mo’s somewhat unfocused eyes showed a hint of joy.
He had not expected that Fang Bai, only possessing a First Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, would dare to appear here and even dare to stop the short and stout Immortal.
Tu Mo, seriously injured, could no longer sense Fang Bai’s aura, thus he would never imagine that Fang Bai before him had already leaped from the First Grade Heavenly Immortal Realm expert he first knew to a First Grade Immortal Venerable Realm expert, with cultivation far surpassing his own.
"Up... Upper Immortal, what do you want?"
Although the short and stout Immortal couldn’t perceive Fang Bai’s true cultivation either, he was certain that Fang Bai was an Immortal Venerable Realm expert because Fang Bai’s presence was as imposing as that of his own Immortal Venerable Realm master.
Listening to Fang Bai’s indifferent tone and meeting his icy gaze, the short and stout man’s voice trembled slightly when he spoke.
He didn’t know what kind of relationship Fang Bai had with Tu Mo, but hearing Fang Bai interrupt him and hearing Tu Mo call him "Immortal Friend," his heart skipped a beat, sensing trouble.
As Tu Mo heard the short and stout Immortal address Fang Bai as "Upper Immortal" and saw him act extremely fearful, he felt both surprised and delighted, seeing a glimmer of hope in his despair. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
He speculated that although Fang Bai’s cultivation wasn’t high, he must have an extraordinarily powerful backing, which was what made the short and stout Immortal fearful enough to respectfully call him "Upper Immortal."
If Fang Bai insisted on intervening in this matter, perhaps his Space Immortal Ring could be kept safe, and his life would be secure.
"I know this Immortal, let him go! Leave on your own!"
Fang Bai pointed at Tu Mo.
Although he wasn’t close with Tu Mo, they had met once. Not wanting to see him perish, Fang Bai intervened to save him.
The short and stout Immortal dared not disobey Fang Bai’s words; otherwise, the latter could simply slap him to death.
"May I ask the Upper Immortal’s esteemed title, and where your Immortal Residence is located?"
Though unwilling to ask once again, the short and stout Immortal relinquished the Space Immortal Ring and abandoned the plan to slay Tu Mo.
"You’re unworthy to know my esteemed title!"
Fang Bai didn’t bother to engage any further with the short and stout Immortal, chuckling coldly. He grabbed Tu Mo and flew off, disappearing instantly.
Soon after their departure, the short and stout Immortal retrieved a Jade Pendant from his person, which recorded messages. He infused it with a wisp of Divine Sense, which then projected a soft glow, forming a scene in front of his eyes showing the conversation between Fang Bai and the short and stout Immortal just now.
"You dare not reveal your identity and origin, do you? Hmph, with your appearance captured in this Jade Pendant, I will surely find you! Ruining my plans, even if you are an Immortal Venerable expert, you’re doomed!"
The short and stout Immortal glanced in the direction where Fang Bai had disappeared, revealing a malicious grin before his figure flickered and he vanished as well.
Fang Bai carried Tu Mo, arriving beneath an Immortal Tree thousands of miles away. Dropping him on the ground, he snorted, "Dead yet?"
Along the way, holding Tu Mo while flying, Tu Mo had swallowed a few healing elixirs, partially recovering from his injuries and mental state. Hearing this, he struggled to stand and clasped his hands with a grateful gesture, "Not dead yet! Many thanks to Imm... Upper Immortal for saving my life!"
Fang Bai was his lifesaver, and only after recovering from his injuries did he realize he could no longer gauge Fang Bai’s cultivation. Shocked, he understood that Fang Bai’s cultivation surpassed his own, prompting him to emulate the short and stout Immortal, addressing him as "Upper Immortal" out of respect.
