Fang Bai saw the expression on the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s face and guessed that his immortal partner must have met with misfortune, sighing silently.

There’s nothing perfect in this world.

Fang Bai could save the Antarctica Immortal Emperor and his daughter Fan Hua, but he couldn’t save the Immortal Emperor’s partner.

Originally, the family of three lived harmoniously, but from now on, they were missing one member, which was regrettable.

"After the Three Immortals of Bamboo Island abducted my partner, they used it to coerce me with unreasonable demands. In my fury, I fought with them all the way to Bamboo Island. I thought I could take the opportunity to find my partner, even just to see her once more, but unexpectedly, a Half-Step Demon Emperor suddenly appeared and attacked us. As a result, Bamboo Island was destroyed, and we were all captured..."

As the Antarctica Immortal Emperor spoke, his tightly clenched fists trembled slightly, tears welling up in his tiger-like eyes.

The Half-Step Demon Emperor was powerful. When he destroyed Bamboo Island, the partner of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, who had been taken to Bamboo Island by the Three Immortals, couldn’t escape the disaster.

Fang Bai thought about the immortal corpses he had found near Bamboo Island earlier, which might have included the Immortal Emperor’s partner, and sighed softly.

"Old brother Antarctica, stay here and stabilize your realm. Then we’ll go to Bamboo Island together in hopes of finding our sister-in-law’s remains to lay her to rest properly."

Fang Bai patted the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s shoulder and said.

Fang Bai knew that under the attack of the Half-Step Demon Emperor, many disciples of Bamboo Island had turned into blood mist, disappearing completely. Whether they could find the remains of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s partner was still unknown, but in terms of sentiment and rationale, he felt they should give it a try.

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor also understood that it would be difficult to find his partner’s remains, but his deep affection made him determined to pay his respects with his daughter even if they couldn’t find anything.

Thus, upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, he nodded with a face full of sorrow, then touched Fan Hua’s head and said, "Once your father has stabilized his realm, we’ll go find your mother!"

Fan Hua raised her tear-streaked face to look at her father, choked with emotion, asking, "Father, has mother really passed away?"

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor sighed, "The entire Bamboo Island is destroyed; how could your mother possibly survive that?"

Fan Hua’s fragile glimmer of hope was completely shattered by the Immortal Emperor’s words.

She hugged the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, sobbing uncontrollably, tears streaming down like a fountain.

The Immortal Emperor patted her back to comfort her, then turned back inside the Immortal Suppressing Hall.

Several days later, after the Antarctica Immortal Emperor had completely stabilized his realm, the immortals set out together, leaving the Southern Desolate, heading to Bamboo Island located on the Antarctica Sea.

After the previous battle between the Half-Step Demon Emperor, the Three Immortals of Bamboo Island, and the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, Bamboo Island, once a paradise, was now in ruins, with half of the immortal island collapsed and large amounts of rocks and trees sinking into the sea.

Fang Bai and the immortals flew above Bamboo Island, spreading their divine sense and found just as expected, among the remains and corpses, there were no traces of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s partner.

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor sighed in grief, holding his daughter Fan Hua’s hand, and landed on Bamboo Island, searching carefully once more but to no avail, leaving him in utter despair.

Suspecting that his partner might have already dissipated into blood mist, the Immortal Emperor built a grave on the island, erecting a tombstone inscribed with "Beloved Wife’s Grave," signing both his and Fan Hua’s identities and names.

"Fan Hua, kneel and pay your respects to your mother!"

After bowing to the grave, the Antarctica Immortal Emperor asked his daughter, Fan Hua, to kowtow at the grave before leaving with Fang Bai and the other immortals.

"Brother, you still have many friends and relatives from the lower realms you haven’t found, right? Give me their names and descriptions, and as I travel around the Immortal Realm to calm my mind, I can help you inquire about their whereabouts."

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and said to Fang Bai.

Because of losing his partner, he was heavily struck, feeling dejected and despondent, and intended to relieve his sadness by traveling around the Immortal Realm.

Understanding his current mood, Fang Bai replied, "Brother, you go ahead. If you ever feel tired, come find me."

He took out two Messaging Jade Pendants, giving one each to the Antarctica Immortal Emperor and Fan Hua, for future communication.

The Immortal Emperor took the pendant from Fan Hua’s hand, handing it back to Fang Bai, and said solemnly, "Brother, Fan Hua is exceptionally talented. If she continues to follow me for guidance, she might not have much achievement, so..."

He pulled Fan Hua over, letting her stand before Fang Bai, saying, "I wish for Fan Hua to follow you from now on. What do you think?"

In his eyes, Fang Bai’s former self was the Invincible War Emperor. Though his cultivation weakened after seizing rebirth, the vast knowledge of cultivation techniques and secrets remained. Letting Fan Hua follow him would expose her to great wisdom, ensuring her remarkable future, possibly even becoming an Empress.

Note that several of Fang Bai’s beloved friends and close allies in his past life had become empresses, all of whom received guidance from him.

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s partner fell to the Half-Step Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan. Although the demon remains elusive, the Immortal Emperor vividly remembered his appearance, thinking if his daughter became an Empress one day, she could search both realms for that demon and avenge their losses.

Knowing Fang Bai’s deep sense of honor and friendship, the Immortal Emperor was certain his request wouldn’t be refused.

Hearing her father’s words, Fan Hua glanced at him, startled, and asked, "Father, are you abandoning me?"

Gently touching her head, the Immortal Emperor said, "Silly girl, how could I abandon you? I just want you to temporarily follow your Uncle Fang Bai to learn Immortal Technique Secrets, so you become strong enough to avenge your mother! Fan Hua, tell your father, can you do it?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Thinking of her departed mother, Fan Hua’s eyes turned determined. She nodded firmly, saying, "I can!"

In that moment, she felt as though she had grown up, gaining maturity, and she bowed tenderly to Fang Bai, saying, "Uncle Fang Bai, please allow Fan Hua to follow you! I will listen to you and diligently cultivate!"

Fang Bai gestured for her to rise, signaling no need for formality, and then bitterly smiled at the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, saying, "Brother Antarctica, are you really entrusting your precious daughter to me?"

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor replied, "Besides you, I have no other trusted friends. Moreover, other immortals with their limited understanding of the Immortal Dao cannot compare to you, the Invincible War Emperor. Entrusting Fan Hua to you, I hope under your guidance, she can have a great future, so that even if I perish, I can rest in peace."
