Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor

Chapter 2527: The Seventh Heavenly Domain

The divine sense of that middle-aged immortal enveloped the entirety of Demon-Slaying Immortal City, sweeping rapidly over the millions of immortals within the city, seemingly intending to investigate something.Fang Bai sat cross-legged on the immortal stone bed inside the Immortal Residence, fully concealing all traces related to the Emperor’s Palace’s cultivation techniques, appearing like an ordinary half-step Immortal Emperor calmly adjusting his breathing.

When that familiar divine sense passed over, Fang Bai maintained an undisturbed demeanor, without revealing any anomalies to the other party.

A moment later, the middle-aged immortal hovering above Demon-Slaying Immortal City, having found nothing, finally turned and disappeared into a crack in the void behind him.

"Phew..."

As the middle-aged immortal faded into the endless space, Fang Bai let out a long sigh and then his lips curled into a slight sneer.

"First it was the Thunder Immortal Emperor... Next, I’m afraid the other Immortal Emperors won’t be able to sit still either!"

Fang Bai murmured to himself.

Sure enough, as expected, following the Thunder Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperors behind the other six top powers also appeared one after another above Demon-Slaying Immortal City within a single day.

Their divine senses scanned the entire Demon-Slaying Immortal City, hoping to identify the culprit who had slain several Immortal Emperor Realm experts from their sects.

After searching for the culprit in vain, the seven Immortal Emperors met to demonstrate their mutual "innocence."

After mutual explanation, the seven Immortal Emperors ultimately pinned the blame on the "Remnants of Emperor’s Palace" as the culprits.

Of course, whether the true culprits were indeed the "Remnants of Emperor’s Palace," only they themselves knew.

In any case, this incident resulted in increased suspicion among the seven top powers, with each sect continuously planting spies within the others to gather intelligence and guard against malicious actions.

At the same time, the seven top powers concentrated and deployed forces stationed throughout the Immortal Realm, intensifying the pursuit of the "Remnants of Emperor’s Palace."

In the Immortal Realm, which was already showing signs of disorder, a tense atmosphere akin to a disturbing rustle filled the air.

The immortals throughout various heavenly domains of the Immortal Realm could sense the impatient and violent emotions emanating from the disciples of the seven top powers, who were hurrying all over the Immortal Realm. Therefore, they made efforts to avoid them, lest they inadvertently invite trouble.

The grand movements of the seven top powers were well known to Fang Bai and other immortals, though this was something they had anticipated long ago, and they didn’t bother paying much mind to it.

Disguised and with their auras concealed, Fang Bai and his companions leisurely traveled across the Immortal Realm on immortal birds and beasts, training in some renowned Cultivation Holy Lands while secretly gathering information about the surviving disciples of the Emperor’s Palace and the immortals descending from the lower realms.

The Mystical Spear Immortal Emperor brought Fang Bai and the others to several secret realms within the Immortal Realm, where they found a dozen disciples of the Emperor’s Palace they had contacted many years ago.

Those dozen disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, all experts of the Immortal King Realm or the Immortal Emperor Realm, had been evading the relentless pursuit of eight top powers for over a thousand years since the fall of the Emperor’s Palace. The danger need not be mentioned, and their stifled emotions were evident, but upon reuniting with the Palace Master, they were overjoyed, shedding tears of joy and reigniting their confidence in the future.

Now, with more than twenty disciples and close confidantes of Fang Bai, he decided to temporarily settle them in a secret realm in the Expansive Heaven Domain where immortal qi was abundant. He laid new concealment and offensive and defensive formations and urged them to cultivate diligently, awaiting his future summons.

Linghu Baimi and other immortals also understood that, with the seven top powers pursuing them relentlessly throughout the Immortal Realm, being with Fang Bai would hardly benefit him. Therefore, they reluctantly and painfully parted ways with him for the time being.

Before departing, Fang Bai left behind some messaging jade tokens to facilitate future communication among the immortals, then rode the Single-Horned Dragon Horse into the distance.

Along the way, Fang Bai forcefully refined the Red Ape Immortal Emperor within his Five Elements Space Ring into a new puppet corpse to add to his collection.

With the Immortal Ape Emperor included, Fang Bai now had nine puppet corpses in his Five Elements Space Ring. Besides the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor and the Nvlei Immortal Emperor, who were of high rank in the Immortal Emperor Realm, the remaining seven were mid-level Immortal Emperor Realm corpses, with considerable overall power.

These nine puppet corpses were crucial to Fang Bai’s "secret war" against the seven top powers and were also one of his trump cards for self-preservation.

In his previous life, Fang Bai was not ruthless enough, rarely using other immortals to make puppet corpses. However, having reflected deeply after the battle at the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, he decided to put aside his kindness.

Upon his return to the Immortal Realm, with the ambition to rebuild the Emperor’s Palace and take revenge on the seven top powers, mere strength was insufficient. Developing an "army of puppet corpses" for direct confrontation, consuming the living forces of the seven top powers, seemed like a viable strategy.

Of course, Fang Bai would not go so far as to slaughter immortals indiscriminately to create puppet corpses. Instead, he targeted disciples of the seven top powers and treacherous immortals or vicious immortal beasts for his puppet corpse endeavors.

Years later, Fang Bai appeared in various regions of the Expansive Heaven Domain, gradually finding and properly settling some disciples of the Emperor’s Palace and immortals from the lower realms.

However, there was no news of a few of his remaining confidantes.

Thus, Fang Bai took a teleportation array bound for the Seventh Heavenly Domain within the Immortal Realm and arrived in the Xiantian Domain to continue his journey of seeking immortals.

Since the matter of the Immortal Emperor Realm experts being slain had occurred in the Sixth Heavenly Domain, the Expansive Heaven, the atmosphere there was tense, while the Xiantian Domain, the Seventh Heavenly Domain, remained relatively calm.

However, with Fang Bai’s arrival, the relative tranquility of the Xiantian Domain was destined to be disrupted.

......

Southern region of the Xiantian Domain.

On a boundless and vast sea, countless Immortal Islands were scattered, lying sporadically.

Among these Immortal Islands, nine islands of varying sizes were connected end-to-end. Due to the crimson color of their mountains and the thick fire Immortal Qi that enveloped and swirled around them, from afar, they resembled a gigantic fire dragon lying on the sea’s surface, hence some immortals referred to these nine islands collectively as "Fire Dragon Island."

The nine islands forming Fire Dragon Island range in size from several hundred to a thousand miles across, large enough to house thousands or even tens of thousands of immortals for prolonged cultivation and residence.

However, each island on Fire Dragon Island has volcanoes perpetually spewing molten lava and flames, making the temperatures of the waters and air in a vast area of ten thousand miles around them extremely high. Only immortals specializing in fire-based techniques can live there permanently.

"Junior Sister Long, watch my flying sword!"

At this moment, on one of the islands at the tail end of Fire Dragon Island, two female immortals in fire-colored robes stood on two mountain peaks several hundred yards apart, each deploying their Immortal Artifacts, wholeheartedly sparring with secret techniques.

The immortal who shouted was an approximately thirty-year-old woman in a fiery red dress, with a graceful figure, ink-like long hair, and a fair and delicate face.

As she shouted, the immortal sword in her hand rose up, transforming into a fire dragon, rushing toward the "Junior Sister Long" on the opposite mountain peak.
