Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2214: Advancing Quickly Within the Peach Blossom Fairyland
"I originally thought that the Peach Blossom Fairy might choose to follow me in death after my demise, but after seeing this Peach Blossom Immortal Sword, I feel she should still be alive... In the coming days, I will remain in the Peach Blossom Fairyland to guide you all until your cultivation levels reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Then, I’ll venture into the Nine Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm to search for the Peach Blossom Fairy... and those old friends who ascended to the Immortal Realm."
Fang Bai looked at the Peach Blossom Immortal Sword floating before him and muttered softly, all the while silently praying for the safety of the Peach Blossom Fairy.
Being an Empress, the Peach Blossom Fairy possessed immense power, and among the Nine Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, few Immortals could harm her.
Fang Bai’s only worry was that after a thousand years, the Ice River Immortal Emperor, Thunder Immortal Emperor, and the other eight top Immortal Emperors might conspire once again, tricking the Peach Blossom Fairy into an ambush as they did with him.
If that were the case, then the likelihood of the Peach Blossom Fairy perishing would be great.
However, Fang Bai speculated that this possibility was unlikely, for when the Peach Blossom Fairy ventured out, she would certainly carry the Peach Blossom Immortal Sword with her. If she had been besieged by the eight top Immortal Emperors, the Peach Blossom Immortal Sword would not be hanging intact in the bamboo tower of the Peach Blossom Fairyland at this moment.
Based on Fang Bai’s understanding of the Peach Blossom Fairy, upon hearing of his "demise," she would most likely seal herself away in grief, much like Fairy Linglong.
Another possibility is that the Peach Blossom Fairy, harboring a glimmer of hope that he had not perished, disguised herself, hid her aura, and ventured out in search of his traces, leaving the Peach Blossom Immortal Sword in the Peach Blossom Fairyland, awaiting his return.
Fang Bai leaned towards the former possibility, for if the Peach Blossom Fairy had sealed herself, she would be in a death-like state, and he would be unable to sense her presence or detect any hint of her aura.
When an Immortal seals themselves and enters a death-like state, unless awakened by Supreme Immortal Art or Immortal Pills and Elixirs, this state of false death persists indefinitely.
Dongfang Ruhua held her sister, Dongfang Rushi, as they continued to inquire about the Peach Blossom Fairy.
In his spare time, Fang Bai began organizing the various pill bottles left by the Peach Blossom Fairy within the bamboo tower.
Within those pill bottles were various Immortal Pills of different kinds, crafted by the Peach Blossom Fairy herself, using the Alchemy Technique taught by Fang Bai a millennium ago.
All of those Immortal Pills were of the Immortal Venerable grade. Fang Bai planned to have the Dongfang sisters take them after their cultivation levels reached the Earth Immortal Realm, as they would otherwise be unable to withstand the potency of the pills.
Henceforth, Fang Bai and Dongfang Rushi, as well as Dongfang Ruhua, resided together within the bamboo tower, with most of their cultivation occurring indoors, occasionally stepping out onto the Xuankong Stone to absorb Immortal Qi for cultivation.
While in the lower realms, Fang Bai and the Dongfang sisters had already become Immortal companions, and sharing a room for joint cultivation long since became a matter of habit, without any embarrassment.
Upon reaching the Immortal Realm, cultivating together in the Immortal Qi-rich bamboo tower of the Peach Blossom Fairyland proved to be highly beneficial for both Fang Bai and the Dongfang sisters.
Dongfang Rushi appeared somewhat reserved regarding joint cultivation, with Fang Bai often taking the initiative.
The younger Dongfang Ruhua, having experienced the benefits of joint cultivation, frequently took the shameless initiative to pull Fang Bai into spontaneous sessions, under the guise of "diligent cultivation."
After all, within the Peach Blossom Fairyland, there were only the three of them, with nothing to conceal. Moreover, the formation set by Fang Bai at his peak combat prowess in his past life isolated them from the Profound Thunder Sect disciples outside, making it impossible for them to enter.
Over a span of several months, the Peach Blossom Fairyland periodically emitted the fluctuating auras of Immortal advancements, but due to the powerful formation barrier, the disciples of the Profound Thunder Sect outside were utterly oblivious to the activity within.
Meanwhile, with the rich Immortal Qi in the Peach Blossom Fairyland, many disciples of the Profound Thunder Sect experienced breakthroughs, leaving the entire sect, composed of thousands, from top to bottom, excited and jubilant in a festive atmosphere.
Once the Dongfang sisters reached the Earth Immortal Realm, Fang Bai began administering the Immortal Venerable-grade Immortal Pills crafted by the Peach Blossom Fairy to aid in their cultivation, while providing assistance himself.
Rising from the First Grade Human Immortal Realm to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm involved nearly three major realm advancements, and no matter how high the qualifications or how abundant the cultivation resources, other Immortals would require at least ten to eight years to accomplish it, possibly needing decades or centuries.
However, Fang Bai accomplished such an unimaginable feat in less than a year, and if word were to spread, it would surely astonish the other Immortals in the Immortal Realm.
As for Fang Bai himself, within this year, his cultivation level had reached the Half-Step Immortal King Realm, lying between the Ninth Grade Immortal Venerable Realm and the First Grade Immortal King Realm.
Moreover, Fang Bai allocated time specifically to concoct a large quantity of Immortal Pills, catering to the cultivation needs of the Dongfang sisters.
For the disciples of the Profound Thunder Sect residing outside the Peach Blossom Fairyland, numerous disciples advanced by one or two small realms within the year, an achievement worthy of celebration for the entire sect.
"With your qualifications, in an environment as rich with Immortal Qi as the Immortal Realm, there lies boundless potential. After I leave, do not slack, continue to cultivate diligently, and perhaps you may swiftly break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm! Once your cultivation reaches the Immortal Venerable Realm, you will possess a measure of self-protection while traversing the Immortal Realm."
After completing his cultivation state for the day, Fang Bai addressed the Dongfang sisters.
"Fang Bai, are you leaving?"
Dongfang Ruhua discerned Fang Bai’s intention to depart from the Peach Blossom Fairyland, and her reluctance was evident. She didn’t seem concerned about whether she could break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm.
Dongfang Rushi was equally unwilling to part, yet she realized that at this time, she could not detain Fang Bai, as that would be overly selfish.
After all, there were numerous old acquaintances related to Fang Bai who had ascended from the lower realms to the Immortal Realm, some of whom might have temporarily joined particular sects, while others wandered the Immortal Realm. Fang Bai’s departure aimed to locate and bring them together again.
"Yes! It’s time to leave!"
Fang Bai looked at the unwilling Dongfang sisters in front of him and sighed with some melancholy.
If he could, he wouldn’t want to leave either, just lingering with the two women in the Peach Blossom Fairyland, but within the Nine Heavenly Domains of the Immortal Realm, many old friends and cultivation resources awaited him, beckoning for him to search and discover.
Fang Bai and Dongfang Rushi, along with Dongfang Ruhua, sat together under a sturdy peach tree, exchanging many words before parting, then rose to tread as one outside the Peach Blossom Fairyland.
"The Upper Immortal has emerged!"
The Sect Master of the Profound Thunder Sect, Thunderclap Immortal, who by now had reached the First Grade Earth Immortal Realm, crossing a significant threshold, was the first to sense the presence of Fang Bai and the Dongfang sisters. He promptly led the upper echelons of the Profound Thunder Sect to welcome them.
