"Father, don’t say such ominous things!"

Upon hearing the words "fall" and "rest in peace" from her father, Fan Hua stomped her foot angrily and said, "If you were really to fall, I wouldn’t live on either!"

Antarctica Immortal Emperor quickly said, "Alright, alright, for my beloved daughter, I must live well!"

Fang Bai then discussed several secret locations in the Immortal Realm with the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, which were places where Fang Bai had already found the Emperor’s Palace disciples and some close friends’ Immortal Residences. If in the future the Messaging Immortal Talisman was lost or used up, the Antarctica Immortal Emperor could go directly to these secret locations.

"Everyone, take care!"

The Antarctica Immortal Emperor waved goodbye with tears in his eyes to his daughter and clasped his fists towards Fang Bai and the other immortals, before riding a Wind Roc tamed by Fang Bai and leaving Bamboo Island, his figure quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Fan Hua watched the rapidly receding back of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, thinking of the uncertain years until she would see her father again, she unknowingly found her face wet with tears.

"Let’s go too!"

Fang Bai gently comforted Fan Hua, saying, "Rest assured, your father is a high-level Immortal Emperor with sufficient power to protect himself; he’ll be fine. If you want to see him sooner, cultivate diligently, and when you become strong, you can go find him!"

Fan Hua was revitalized, nodding eagerly, "Uncle, teach me the Immortal Technique Secrets now!"

Fang Bai laughed, "Cultivation is a long-term process and requires patience and gradual progress. Impatience might backfire. I need to search for some immortals next; if we have spare time during the journey, I’ll teach you. You can also learn from these sisters when you’re free!"

Fang Bai pointed to Fang Yun, Xia Chenyu, and Qin Yaorao.

Although the cultivation levels of Fang Yun and the other two female immortals were either on par with or slightly higher than Fan Hua, they were personally taught by Fang Bai, and their understanding and perception of the Immortal Dao far exceeded what Fan Hua could comprehend; seeking their guidance would undoubtedly be greatly beneficial.

Though Fan Hua was unaware of this, since Fang Bai, her uncle, said so, it must hold true.

Shortly after leaving Bamboo Island, under the consolations from Fang Yun and the other female immortals, Fan Hua emerged from the shadow of losing her mother, and her lovely face once again donned a smile.

As Fang Bai needed his focus to control the Immortal Birds’ flight, Fan Hua refrained from bothering him, sticking around Fang Yun and the other female immortals, calling them "good sister, good sister," and sought their teachings on the Dao of Cultivation.

Fang Yun and the three female immortals, both sympathetic to motherless Fan Hua and endeared by her sweet words, naturally imparted everything they knew to her.

After gaining some insights, Fan Hua voluntarily requested to enter Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring to comprehend cultivation.

Encouraged by Fan Hua’s diligence at such a young age, the three female immortals accompanied her in cultivation within the Five Elements Space Ring.

The four female immortals were extraordinarily diligent, and by the time Fang Bai maneuvered the Immortal Birds out of the Antarctica Sea, each of their cultivation levels had advanced to varying extents, either advancing to the second-grade Immortal King Realm or nearing the threshold of the third-grade Immortal King Realm.

After reaching the mainland, Fang Bai abandoned the Immortal Birds and entered numerous Immortal Cities with Fang Yun and the others, posting high bounties for news of ascendant immortals from the lower realm, just as in other Immortal Cities.

......

The Fifth Heavenly Domain of the Immortal Realm.

Transcending Heaven Domain.

Moon Sea Sect.

"Master! Good news! Good news!"

Just in time for dusk, a female disciple of the Moon Sea Sect hurried into the Sect Master Hall, clasping her fists and bowing to the Sect Master seated on a stone chair, excitedly announcing, "Recently in Carefree Immortal City, a young immortal has appeared whose conditions should be a match for Junior Sister Qian Jiao!"

The Moon Sea Sect Master, honored as Moon Sea Fairy in the sect, appeared outwardly as a graceful female immortal in her thirties, yet she had actually lived for thousands of years and possessed a mid-level Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation.

Several years ago, during her travels, Moon Sea Fairy had fortuitously taken in a female disciple named Linghu Qianjiao.

In Moon Sea Fairy’s eyes, this newly admitted female disciple was of unparalleled beauty, gentle and elegant, exceedingly intelligent, and possessed both water and wood Innate Spiritual Roots, making her a rare cultivation genius in the Immortal Realm.

Though the Moon Sea Sect also had prodigies, their numbers were few, and compared to Linghu Qianjiao, they paled significantly. Therefore, Moon Sea Fairy had high hopes for Linghu Qianjiao, wishing for her to inherit her mantle, elevate the Moon Sea Sect to new heights, and lead it onto a new level.

Initially, Moon Sea Fairy intended to conceal Linghu Qianjiao’s news to avoid troubles for the sect, but later, a disciple envious of Linghu Qianjiao divulged the matter publicly, leading various Immortal Sects to learn of this incredibly talented female disciple from Moon Sea Sect.

Consequently, some high-ranking members of the Immortal Sects proactively visited, hoping to marry their sect’s prodigies to Moon Sea Sect’s Linghu Qianjiao to achieve a matrimonial alliance between the sects.

These high-ranking members had foresight, understanding that with Linghu Qianjiao’s innate qualities, she held limitless potential in the Immortal Dao, and if they could ally with the Moon Sea Sect in advance, it would benefit their sect immensely.

Despite Linghu Qianjiao’s repeated claims of already having an immortal partner, she had never introduced this partner to any of her sect mates during her years in the sect, leading those from different Immortal Sects to suspect she was lying.

The Immortal Sects eager to ally with the Moon Sea Sect were strong, some even looked up to by Moon Sea Sect, and the conditions they offered were extremely attractive, inevitably tempting Moon Sea Fairy.

However, Moon Sea Fairy understood Linghu Qianjiao’s gentle yet firm nature; forcing her to become an immortal partner with another could have unimaginable consequences, so she discussed the matter with Linghu Qianjiao, hoping to persuade her.

"Master, I had an immortal partner while still in the lower realm, but after ascending to the Immortal Realm, we parted ways. However, I believe my partner will eventually find me. If Master finds it hard to refuse those wishing for alliances, then let me refuse them myself!"

No matter how Moon Sea Fairy persuaded, Linghu Qianjiao consistently held her stance, with unwavering determination.

Moon Sea Fairy was very affectionate towards Linghu Qianjiao, unwilling to threaten or coerce her, and conveyed Linghu Qianjiao’s decision to the various Immortal Sect leaders.

"Moon Sea Fairy, as the head of a sect, can’t you decide for your own disciple?"

Some high-ups from the Immortal Sects sneered and mocked, suspecting Moon Sea Fairy of reluctance to ally with them rather than Linghu Qianjiao.

"Moon Sea Fairy, our Sect Master’s son is a fifth-grade Immortal King, possessing an Innate Fire Spirit Root, handsome and extraordinary. Since meeting Linghu Fairy once, he swore not to marry anyone but her, supported strongly by our Sect Master. We will not give up until our aim is achieved. What will you do?"

Spoke a high-up from a sect with a high-level Immortal Emperor anchoring it, with an underlying tone of threat in his voice.
