Yufeng Immortal King’s heart was heavy with concern, pondering how he would quell the Great Elder’s anger should it flare up.

Throughout this journey, Fang Bai’s actions had repeatedly challenged Yufeng Immortal King’s perceptions, filling him with admiration for Fang Bai, unwilling to see such an unparalleled genius of the Immortal Realm fall under the Great Elder’s wrath.

"Did the fire burn out? Is there a problem with the Pill Condensation Technique?"

The Gale Immortal Emperor murmured upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, suddenly stood up, walked to Fang Bai, and grabbed his shoulders, excitement radiating from his eyes as he spoke, "You, little immortal, also understand the Alchemy Dao?"

Being a high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert, he possessed tremendous strength. Even Fang Bai, with his rare Chaos True Body and exceptionally strong physique, felt a slight pain in his shoulders.

"Gale Immortal Emperor, if you want to learn alchemy, I can teach you, but could you kindly let go of my shoulders first? A bit more force and they might shatter!"

Fang Bai looked down at the pale hands gripping his shoulders and laughed wryly.

Yufeng Immortal King was astounded that Fang Bai dared to address the Great Elder directly, considering it a grave disrespect that might further anger him.

Fortunately, the Great Elder showed no signs of anger. He released his grip, looked intently at Fang Bai, and seriously asked, "Do you truly understand alchemy? Don’t deceive me, or you won’t be able to bear my wrath!"

He was so engrossed in alchemy that Fang Bai addressing him directly did not bother him.

Fang Bai replied with a smile, "Deceiving a high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert? Only if I want a swift end!"

The Gale Immortal Emperor considered this and realized that this little immortal’s cultivation was merely at the third rank of the Immortal King Realm. A mere thought could release an invisible killing intent to obliterate him; surely, Fang Bai did not have the courage to deceive him.

"So, you truly understand alchemy? Come, tell me where exactly with my Pill Condensation Technique is flawed..."

Without waiting for Fang Bai’s consent, he pulled him to sit cross-legged beside the alchemy cauldron, eagerly awaiting instruction.

Fang Bai said, "I can quickly teach you the alchemy secrets to successfully create an Immortal Pill! However... I have a condition!"

The Gale Immortal Emperor impatiently responded, "Fine! Fine! Speak your condition quickly! As long as you can teach me alchemy, not only one but even ten or a hundred conditions, I’ll agree!"

He thought a young immortal like Fang Bai probably wanted some cultivation resources or hoped for guidance, but if Fang Bai could indeed help him achieve a breakthrough in alchemy, he wouldn’t be stingy.

Fang Bai straightforwardly stated, "I want to meet the Tempest Immortal Emperor!"

Fang Bai understood that a supreme expert like the Tempest Immortal Emperor, once in closed-door cultivation, wouldn’t emerge unless facing significant sect threats. Revealing his true identity would make it harder to meet him quickly.

However, Fang Bai did not intend to disclose his true identity before meeting the Tempest Immortal Emperor, uncertain if there might be spies among his disciples from the Eight Supreme Immortal Emperors.

If his presence in Purple Wind Gorge were leaked, it would be disastrous for both Fang Bai and the Tempest Immortal Emperor.

Fang Bai planned to discuss his rebirth and concealment privately with the Tempest Immortal Emperor after meeting him.

The Gale Immortal Emperor looked troubled, scratching his head, "Well... the Sect Master has been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. Without significant matters, even I wouldn’t dare disturb his peaceful retreat!"

Fang Bai asserted, "My visit to the Tempest Immortal Emperor is to convey a significant matter!"

Yufeng Immortal King explained, "This is Wushuang Immortal King, a friend of the Emperor’s Palace Disciple Nvlang Venerable. Nvlang Venerable is among the Emperor’s Palace Master’s disciples! Wushuang Immortal King came here entrusted by Nvlang Venerable to convey important news to the Sect Master!"

As a Great Elder and high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert from Purple Wind Gorge, the Gale Immortal Emperor was well-acquainted with the former Emperor’s Palace higher-ups, yet unfamiliar with Nvlang Venerable with only Immortal King Cultivation Realm.

Still, upon learning that Nvlang Venerable was a disciple of the Emperor’s Palace Master, the Gale Immortal Emperor’s expression turned serious, wondering if the "significant matter" from Wushuang Immortal King concerned the Emperor’s Palace.

He knew that before its destruction, the Tempest Immortal Emperor was closely associated with the Emperor’s Palace Master and often regretted being unable to protect surviving Emperor’s Palace disciples; this news about Emperor’s Palace disciples might prompt the Sect Master’s emergence to meet this Wushuang Immortal King.

"If it concerns the Emperor’s Palace, I’ll relay the message to you. Whether the Sect Master sees you depends on your fortune!" The Gale Immortal Emperor pondered for a while before earnestly speaking to Fang Bai.

Then, he instructed Yufeng Immortal King to accompany Fang Bai and some other immortals in the hall while he proceeded to the center of Purple Wind Gorge, amid the terrifying dragon whirlwind storms, toward an imposing palace named "Gathering Wind Hall," where the Tempest Immortal Emperor cultivated in seclusion.

The Gale Immortal Emperor, swift as lightning, navigated the violent dragon whirlwind storms until reaching outside "Gathering Wind Hall."

Around Gathering Wind Hall, the gales roared fiercely, carrying faint thunderous sounds, seemingly gathering all the Wind Immortal Qi in Purple Wind Gorge. Even the formidable Gale Immortal Emperor hesitated and dared not advance.

"Gale, why have you come?"

A moment later, a muffled voice emanated from within Gathering Wind Hall, seemingly displeased with Gale Immortal Emperor’s arrival.

"Sect Master, today Yufeng Immortal King returned from training with several immortals, entrusted by Emperor’s Palace Disciple Nvlang Venerable to convey important news to you..."

The Gale Immortal Emperor spoke respectfully, bowing even lower with his slightly bent back.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing "Emperor’s Palace," the voice within Gathering Wind Hall grew excited and louder, asking, "Where are those immortals?"

The Gale Immortal Emperor replied, "They are waiting in my hall; would you like to see them?"

"Bring them to Tempest Hall!"

The voice of the Tempest Immortal Emperor drifted out softly.

"Yes."

The Gale Immortal Emperor slowly retreated.

A hundred breaths later, under the Gale Immortal Emperor’s lead, Fang Bai, Tang Wenrou, Ye Wumei, Wu De, and the Lightning Mink arrived at Tempest Hall, where the Tempest Immortal Emperor resided. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Tempest Immortal Emperor..."

Seeing the familiar figure seated in the center of the stone chair at the rear of Tempest Hall, Fang Bai’s heart stirred slightly, though immediately he suppressed it.
