Chapter 2467: Reunion with Qian Jiao
The eight top Immortal Emperors in the current Immortal Realm are all experts proficient in the Array Path.The Palace Master Hall where the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor resides is similarly surrounded by formations personally arranged by him, which are quite intricate and exquisite. Even if the other seven top Immortal Emperors were to come, they wouldn’t be able to uncover it in a short time.
It is for this reason that the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor has peace of mind leaving Golden Crow Palace.
Several days after the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor left, Fang Bai, who had been lying dormant and undetected, went alone to the back mountain and entered a cave with a Concealment Formation. He declared to the outside world that he wanted to go into closed-door cultivation, but in reality, he was preparing to implement his plan to rescue Linghu Qianjiao.
Though the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor was not in Golden Crow Palace, the perception of supreme experts like Yanshi Immortal Emperor is exceedingly powerful. If Fang Bai wanted to rescue Linghu Qianjiao from the underground hall beneath the Palace Master Hall, it still wouldn’t be easy.
On this night, Fang Bai released the Wind Essence God, one of the seven Primordial Spirits within his Qi Sea, allowing the Wind Essence God to conceal itself and sneak past all the Golden Crow Palace experts to walk around the Palace Master Hall and observe the situation, preparing for the rescue of Linghu Qianjiao.
The seven Primordial Spirits within Fang Bai’s Qi Sea are nearly tangible and can exit the body for a short time, not only possessing all the functions of divine sense but also capable of reaching places beyond the range of divine sense.
The final state of the Primordial Spirit is having flesh and blood, possessing autonomous independent thought and consciousness, wielding formidable power almost equivalent to the host body.
In essence, the final state of the Primordial Spirit is tantamount to a "copy" of the body, able to exist independently even if the host body perishes.
However, to let the Primordial Spirit reach that realm is only possible when the cultivation level of the body advances to the Emperor Realm.
In Fang Bai’s previous life, he possessed five Innate Spiritual Roots, being the rare "Desolate Ancient Divine Body" in the Immortal Realm, nurturing five Primordial Spirits within his Qi Sea.
When he achieved the status of Immortal Emperor, the five Primordial Spirits also reached the final state, making him effectively gain five Immortal Emperors as assistants in battles against opponents.
The reason the eight top Immortal Emperors joined forces to besiege Fang Bai was precisely because of this.
In solo combat, they weren’t his match at all; they had a chance at winning only by teaming up.
The Wind Essence God released by Fang Bai concealed its form and aura as it circled around the Palace Master Hall of the Golden Crow Palace and didn’t find anything unusual, which filled his heart with joy.
Usually, the residence of a sect’s Sect Master should always be under the strictest protection.
However, perhaps because the high-level members of Golden Crow Palace were overly confident, they assumed that with the formation personally arranged by the Palace Master for protection, no immortal could enter the Palace Master Hall, thus neglecting it, remaining in their respective Immortal Halls, focusing on cultivation.
It was exactly this negligence of the high-level members of Golden Crow Palace that provided Fang Bai an opportunity.
The formation arranged at the Palace Master Hall by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, although exquisite, wasn’t hard to break for Fang Bai, who was unmatched in formations in his previous life.
Fang Bai had been waiting for the opportunity when the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor left.
And now, the opportunity finally arrived.
"Hope everything goes smoothly!"
Fang Bai muttered to himself, then took a deep breath, fully concealed his aura, and moved out of the cave, blending his figure with the night, floating toward the Palace Master Hall of the Golden Crow Palace with a gust of night wind.
If other immortals unfamiliar with formations approached within a hundred meters of the Palace Master Hall, they would trigger the fierce counter of the formation, consequently alarming the masses of immortals in Golden Crow Palace.
Fang Bai had prepared for this beforehand. Using the divine sense of the Liuguang Immortal King to probe earlier, he’d caught a glimpse of the flaw in the formation arranged by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor. Now, while still roughly a hundred meters away from the Palace Master Hall, he continued to move forward while his hands formed array runes one after another, continuously releasing them, then the invisible grand formation opened a passage.
Soon, Fang Bai appeared within Golden Crow Palace’s Palace Master Hall without obstruction.
The grand formation behind him closed up again.
The concealment of this grand formation is superb, unless the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor returns, even if Fang Bai causes a significant commotion in this hall, no immortal outside will sense anything.
The Palace Master Hall is also the cultivation site of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor, hence it holds numerous precious Emperor Level cultivation resources in considerable amounts.
Emperor Level cultivation resources are used for cultivation by Emperor Realm experts; other realm immortals dare not use them as they cannot withstand the immense impact of the immortal power, which might harm the body.
But Fang Bai, with his robust physique, does not need to care about this. Any cultivation resources acquired can be used extensively without a problem.
"Since I’m here, I won’t let that Golden Crow old dog off easy!"
Fang Bai swept his gaze through the hall, then waved his left hand, and after a flash of light from the Five Elements Space Ring, all the Emperor Level cultivation resources in the hall vanished.
The entrance to the underground palace, where Linghu Qianjiao and other captive immortals are held, is right behind the stone seat of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.
A passage at the entrance is blocked by a Fine Gold gate measuring about a square yard, engraved with intricate array patterns. Without knowledge of formations, even if an Immortal Emperor arrives, they would not be able to budge this Fine Gold gate.
Fang Bai bent over to examine carefully, then smiled at the corner of his mouth and started to carve within the array patterns on the Fine Gold gate with his fingers.
Having confidence, he worked swiftly, and after just over ten breaths, the Fine Gold gate made "creaking" sounds and slowly lifted, revealing stairs leading directly into the underground palace.
After entering the underground palace, Fang Bai saw over a hundred Immortal Emperor Realm experts as well as the prideful sons and daughters of heaven, all sitting cross-legged on the ground with weak auras.
Their weak auras were not due to severe injuries but because their Qi Seas were sealed by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor.
Once a Qi Sea is sealed, an immortal loses resistance and lacks strength even to escape.
Fang Bai immediately spotted Linghu Qianjiao, who was sitting with the Moon Sea Fairy. Perhaps due to the destruction of Moon Sea Sect, their expressions were still filled with angry sorrow.
These immortals were the supreme experts from various sects captured by the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor recently, including figures like Moon Sea Fairy, a sect leader. Apart from the prideful sons and daughters of heaven, the weakest possessed initial Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation.
Seeing a disciple clad in Gold Crow Palace garb suddenly appear in the underground palace, many immortals thought their end was near, showing fear, while a minority of immortals, undeterred by death, cursed vehemently.
While Fang Bai changed his appearance and concealed his aura, he didn’t deliberately sever the mutual sensing with Linghu Qianjiao.
Thus, when he appeared in the underground palace, Linghu Qianjiao’s gaze landed on him, yet for a moment was unsure if it was him.
"Qianjiao, I am Fang Bai, here to rescue you. Stay silent for now."
Seeing Linghu Qianjiao’s open slightly mouth, seemingly wanting to speak, Fang Bai immediately stopped her with a glance and conveyed a message through sound transmission.
