Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2148: Encountering the Emperor’s Palace Descendants Again
A thousand years ago, before Fang Bai fell, Haoyue Fairy and several sisters from her sect had the fortune to participate in a Buddha Fruit event.
Thus, returning to Sumeru Temple this time, Haoyue Fairy was quite familiar with the way.
She led Fang Bai, Great Sage Sun, Qingzhu Fairy, and other immortals, and along with other immortals, they arrived at the base of Mount Sumeru, handing the invitation to a Mountain Guarding Arhat of Sumeru Temple.
The Mountain Guarding Arhat glanced at the invitation, then swept his gaze over Fang Bai and Great Sage Sun, discovering that they were also Immortal Venerable Realm Experts, especially noting that Great Sage Sun had reached the second grade of the Immortal Venerable Realm, which added a touch of respect to his previously haughty expression.
After verifying the invitation, a junior disciple of Sumeru Temple led Fang Bai, Great Sage Sun, Tu Mo, Haoyue Fairy, and Qingzhu Fairy and the other immortals slowly up the mountain steps.
Though moving slowly, their steps were fluid like flowing clouds, each step taking them across dozens of steps, making their speed not slow at all.
Mount Sumeru stood over ten thousand zhang high, with Sumeru Temple built halfway up the mountain, reaching several thousand zhang high, but such a height was insignificant to immortals.
A moment later, Fang Bai and the immortals followed the junior disciple of Sumeru Temple through a grand temple gate, dozens of zhang wide, arriving at a colossal square in front of the magnificent immortal temple.
At this moment, the colossal square, capable of accommodating nearly a million immortals, had gathered more than two hundred thousand immortals. Most of these immortals stood speaking with disciples from their own immortal sects, while some, familiar with each other despite being from different immortal sects, were greeting one another.
For a time, the colossal square buzzed with noise and laughter, lively and bustling.
Fang Bai and the immortals stood in the square, feeling somewhat isolated as they did not recognize other immortals, nor did other immortals recognize them.
Behind them, more immortals continued to pour into the colossal square, adding to the bustling atmosphere.
Fang Bai spread his Divine Sense, covering the entire square, finally resting on a few Immortal Venerable Realm experts, his gaze flickering, his expression somewhat excited.
"I said, there might be gains from participating in the Buddha Fruit event at Mount Sumeru. Sure enough, I encountered some descendants of the Emperor’s Palace, making this trip worthwhile."
Suppressing his excitement, Fang Bai let his Divine Sense linger on those immortals for a long time before withdrawing it, choosing not to approach them for now.
Fang Bai knew that after his fall and the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, the surviving descendants might choose to hide around to evade the pursuit of the eight Immortal Emperors’ forces.
However, their concealment was only temporary. Some of these immortals, after a period of hibernation, might conceal their identities and continue to train in the Immortal Realm to improve their abilities and seek opportunities for revenge against the Emperor’s Palace.
Participating in the Buddha Fruit event at Mount Sumeru not only broadened one’s horizons and allowed them to make immortal friends but also provided opportunities to obtain fate, improving their cultivation levels, which some descendants of the Emperor’s Palace naturally would not miss.
Back then, the Emperor’s Palace had a hundred thousand disciples, most of them extraordinarily talented with high aptitudes. Especially Fang Bai’s direct disciples, nearly all of whom had Innate Spiritual Roots, they were loyal to Fang Bai, and those who survived all harbored a heart for revenge.
However, besides powerful secret techniques, they learned from Fang Bai how to remain low-key and patient.
Without the confidence to deal with the eight Immortal Emperors, they would choose to hide their identities and cultivate in silence.
This time, the few descendants of the Emperor’s Palace spotted by Fang Bai had altered their appearances, not showing their true faces, and their aura was quite different from the Emperor’s Palace disciples.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the method of concealing one’s aura was taught by Fang Bai, even he wouldn’t have known they were descendants of the Emperor’s Palace.
Fang Bai and the immortals had arrived early, with three days remaining until the start of the Buddha Fruit event.
Some immortals on the colossal square, after brief greetings, each sought a place to sit cross-legged and adjust their spirits to their best state, striving to enter the list of five hundred immortals to break the Unparalleled Five Elements Formation.
Fang Bai and the others did not want to draw attention, so they sat in a secluded corner of the colossal square.
Fang Bai intentionally sat close to the Emperor’s Palace’s descendants, only dozens of zhang away, so he could better observe them.
There were five descendants of the Emperor’s Palace, three men and two women, with cultivation levels ranging from the first grade to the fifth grade of the Immortal Venerable Realm. From their concealed auras, Fang Bai knew they were once disciples under an Elder of the former Emperor’s Palace.
However, the Emperor’s Palace once had a hundred thousand disciples, apart from some high-ranking members and key disciples, Fang Bai found it difficult to recall the names of other Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Before Fang Bai fell, there were seven Great Elders in the Emperor’s Palace, each an Immortal Emperor Realm expert with unparalleled mana, and the master of these five descendants was one of the Great Elders possessing an Innate Golden Spirit Root.
Fang Bai really wanted to ask those five descendants if their master was still alive, but he ultimately held back, not feeling optimistic in his heart.
A thousand years ago, after Fang Bai’s fall and the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, the stewards and elders of the Emperor’s Palace were undoubtedly prime targets for the eight Immortal Emperors’ forces, making survival difficult.
Fang Bai sincerely hoped that Elder was still alive, so when he found him, he would have a powerful ally.
The five descendants of the Emperor’s Palace were highly perceptive and extremely vigilant, sensing someone was watching them, their gazes swept around cautiously, full of vigilance.
"In today’s Immortal Realm, dominated by the eight Immortal Emperors, maintaining high alertness is indeed a good thing."
Fang Bai fully agreed with the vigilance of the five descendants of the Emperor’s Palace, secretly appreciating it, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he withdrew his Divine Sense from them.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, more immortals arrived and gathered on the colossal square in front of the immortal temple, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
"The Buddha Fruit event is about to begin!"
An immortal said in a low voice.
So, many immortals came out of their cultivation states, focused their attention, and looked towards the majestic immortal temple ahead.
Moments later, the grand doors of the immortal temple slowly opened. Amidst the gleaming gold, five Buddhas in Buddhist robes walked out shoulder to shoulder, appearing before the immortals.
The five Buddhas were all Immortal King Realm experts, especially the small Buddha in the middle with drooping white eyebrows. His eyes shone brightly, causing the hearts of many immortals to tremble, not daring to look directly at him, as he was a pinnacle Immortal King Realm expert.
These five Buddhas were all high-ranking members of Sumeru Temple. Their appearance brought not only overwhelming Immortal Might but also excitement and agitation to the hundreds of thousands of immortals present.
Because the five hundred immortals with Innate Spiritual Roots selected to break the Unparalleled Five Elements Formation would be chosen under their supervision, and they would also lead these five hundred immortals to the summit of Mount Sumeru for a close encounter with the Buddha Fruit Tree.
