Chapter 2492: Baimei Fairy’s Question
"This is a Concealment Formation I set up, also known as a small barrier... Those Emperor’s Palace disciples were brought back by me and have been cultivating within it. For a thousand years, the eight major forces have been hunting the Emperor’s Palace disciples throughout the Immortal Realm, yet none dare cause trouble here with me..."Upon entering the Prestigious Formation, the Qilin Beast began introducing the situation here and the condition of the Emperor’s Palace disciples living within it to Baimei Fairy.
As soon as Baimei Fairy stepped into the small barrier, she sensed a dozen or so familiar auras; these auras were similar to hers, evidently having also cultivated the cultivation technique that Fang Bai created for the Emperor’s Palace.
A dozen auras represented a dozen Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Thinking that once Fang Bai returned to the Immortal Realm, he would surely seek out his scattered disciples and descendants, and she met ten immediately, Baimei Fairy was greatly encouraged.
Led by the Qilin Beast, she arrived at a small valley about a mile in radius; within her sight, a dozen male and female immortals were sitting cross-legged in a circle.
The dozen immortals, the youngest being over a thousand years old, were dressed in the same bright yellow attire, their cultivation levels ranging from Immortal King to Immortal Emperor, exuding a powerful and compelling aura.
A male immortal, with the longest immortal age and white flowing beard, sitting at a high rank in the Immortal Emperor Realm, was speaking eloquently, seemingly explaining Immortal Technique Secrets.
The other dozen immortals listened intently, sometimes making gestures in the air, and above their heads appeared huge fists and palms, or swords and Immortal Artifacts, accompanied by rumbling sounds as their Immortal Qi swirled around, practicing secret techniques.
When the Qilin Beast brought Baimei Fairy to the valley, the dozen immortals rose and hurriedly greeted them.
"Upper Immortal!"
The dozen immortals reached the Qilin Beast and bowed respectfully.
The Qilin Beast shook its huge body and transformed into a human form, appearing as a robust man in a red robe.
Gesturing to the immortals not to be excessively courteous, he pointed at Baimei Fairy and said, "This Female Immortal, known as Baimei Fairy, was found by me in the Skyflame Forest. She has studied your Emperor’s Palace cultivation technique, the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art, and thus has some connection with your Emperor’s Palace."
The dozen immortals upon hearing this, looked at Baimei Fairy with surprise.
The Nine Revolutions True Fire Art was created by the Emperor’s Palace Master, and at that time, only the Emperor’s Palace core disciples and above were allowed to cultivate it. Yet this Baimei Fairy before them was unheard of, and they were unaware of which immortal taught her the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art.
"May I ask Baimei Fairy, did you learn the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art from one of the Emperor’s Palace higher-ups?"
The white-bearded male immortal, who had been explaining the Immortal Technique Secrets, fixed his gaze on Baimei Fairy, sensing the aura of the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art from her, and couldn’t help but ask.
In his mind, although the Emperor’s Palace was annihilated by the eight top forces, some disciples had escaped, including some high-level immortals in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
And since this Female Immortal’s age wasn’t great, with a cultivation level already at the fourth-grade Immortal King Realm, only the Emperor’s Palace higher-ups could produce such disciples.
If this were true, then this Female Immortal would be a fellow disciple of the Emperor’s Palace.
Baimei Fairy pondered, unsure if she should tell the truth or keep Fang Bai’s return to the Immortal Realm a secret.
Because Fang Bai’s safety was involved, she had to be extremely cautious.
"How can you prove you are truly Emperor’s Palace disciples?"
Baimei Fairy didn’t answer but asked a question instead.
She had formed a celestial union with Fang Bai in the lower realm, and knew more about Fang Bai and the Emperor’s Palace secrets than most Emperor’s Palace disciples. Whether these dozen immortals were real Emperor’s Palace disciples, she could tell immediately.
Upon hearing this, the dozen immortals were all stunned.
The white-bearded immortal smiled and said, "You are very cautious... Well, given the current situation of the Emperor’s Palace, being cautious is indeed wise!"
He paused, stroked his beard, and introduced himself, "This Immortal Emperor is known as Canglong Immortal Emperor. The Emperor’s Palace once had a hundred and eight warriors, and I was among the thirty-six great warriors. If your master’s level is high in the Emperor’s Palace, they must have heard of me."
The one hundred and eight warriors of the Emperor’s Palace were among the elite under Fang Bai in the past, the core force of the Emperor’s Palace, which Baimei Fairy naturally knew about.
However, she remained unmoved, thought for a moment, and asked, "Can you tell me what Immortal Law you cultivate? And where did this Immortal Law come from?"
Canglong Immortal Emperor replied with a smile, "Naturally, I cultivate the Dragon Flame Art. This Dragon Flame Art, was a section of Immortal Law I gained during my past experiences, which the Palace Master later refined... Little Fairy, why do you ask this? Do you think you can determine the truth of my identity just by this?"
His cultivation of the Dragon Flame Art was known throughout the Emperor’s Palace, but only the high-level members knew that the Emperor’s Palace Master had helped him refine it. If this Little Fairy had heard of this, then her master must be a high-level member of the Emperor’s Palace.
When Baimei Fairy heard Canglong Immortal Emperor mention this, she had already believed his identity by eighty to ninety percent, but she couldn’t help asking another question, "Do you know how many cherished ones the Emperor’s Palace Master had in the Immortal Realm? And which one was his most favored?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor’s Palace disciples were all dumbfounded, and even the Qilin Beast showed an expression of surprise.
"Your fascinating question, Little Fairy, is too strange; even Canglong Immortal Emperor, is unable to answer it," said the Qilin Beast with a wry smile.
In the past when the War Emperor roamed the Immortal Realm, he left affection everywhere. The Qilin Beast, although closely related to him, knew only of a few Empresses as his cherished ones, not the rest.
If asked which one was his most favored, the Qilin Beast felt that he was a loving Immortal who favored each very much.
Recalling the Palace Master’s cherished ones, Canglong Immortal Emperor sighed, "The Palace Master did indeed have many cherished ones while alive. Yet since his fall and the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace, I’ve been hiding, unaware of their situations..."
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Baimei Fairy and said, "You, Little Fairy, have asked enough questions. Now, could you respond to my question?"
Baimei Fairy nodded and said, "Ok. As for the Nine Revolutions True Fire Art... I learned it from Fang Bai."
On hearing the name ’Fang Bai,’ Canglong Immortal Emperor remained indifferent, but the Qilin Beast’s pupils suddenly contracted, and it blurted out, "Who did you learn from?"
In his excitement, he unleashed a thread of imperial might, causing Baimei Fairy’s face to turn pale and her figure to sway as if about to fall.
Seeing this, the Qilin Beast hastily withdrew the imperial might.
Only then did Baimei Fairy’s face return to normal, and she breathed a sigh of relief, complaining, "Upper Immortal, could you please not be so excited? If your pressure had been withdrawn later, my little life would have been lost!"
