Listening to Fang Bai’s comforting words, Fen Yue felt warmth in her heart, but her nose tingled with sourness, and tears couldn’t help but fall.

Most of the villagers in the Junior Immortal Village are reasonable people, and naturally they wouldn’t blame Fen Yue for this; instead, they gathered around her with kind words of comfort.

"Your father is about to come out; you wouldn’t want him to see you crying, would you?"

Fang Bai stroked Fen Yue’s head and said with a smile.

"Really?"

A joy surged in Fen Yue’s heart, and she immediately stopped crying, wiping away her tears.

Just then, the Five Elements Space Ring worn on Fang Bai’s left hand flashed, and in the next moment, the Variable Immortal Emperor appeared before the immortals.

"Such a powerful aura..."

"Could it be that he really advanced to the mid Immortal Emperor Realm?"

...

The White Crane Immortal Emperor and other experts in the Immortal Emperor Realm present all showed expressions of surprise looking at the Variable Immortal Emperor.

They felt a much stronger aura emanating from the Variable Immortal Emperor compared to before, and could no longer see through the Variable Immortal Emperor’s cultivation level.

This indicated that within just a few days, the Variable Immortal Emperor, who had consumed the Water of Life, indeed successfully advanced.

For a moment, all the villagers of Junior Immortal Village who knew Fang Bai possessed the Water of Life turned their excited and eager gaze toward Fang Bai.

The Variable Immortal Emperor had already proven the magical effect of the Water of Life, so as long as they drank it too, wouldn’t they similarly advance?

Among all immortal beings, the twenty or so immortal emperors with the same cultivation level as the Variable Immortal Emperor were the most delighted.

Most of them were limited by their own talents and knew that the prospect of advancement was bleak, so they were reluctant to go out and train. They planned to stay in Junior Immortal Village, with devoted guidance for the younger generation in the village, while leaving their own fate to chance.

Previously, when Fang Bai said consuming the Water of Life could advance them a small realm, they had some doubts. However, the advancement of the Variable Immortal Emperor presented them with great hope, filling them with immense joy.

"Haha... I’ve advanced... hahaha... brother, that Water of Life of yours is truly miraculous!"

Emerging from the Five Elements Space Ring, the Variable Immortal Emperor felt the surging, vast immortal power within himself and couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

He previously had little interest in Immortal Dao Cultivation, but since Fang Bai reincarnated and returned to the Immortal Realm, he hoped for his strength to rapidly grow so that he could assist his brother and help rebuild the Emperor’s Palace, avenging the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors.

"Father!"

Fen Yue cried out joyously and rushed into the Variable Immortal Emperor’s arms.

The Variable Immortal Emperor patted her back, soothing her for a moment, then conveyed a message to Fang Bai: "Brother, now that the Water of Life has such an effect, you should give some to the villagers of Junior Immortal Village to consume. They are all grateful immortals who will remember your kindness today. In the future, when you take revenge on the eight Immortal Emperors, I’ll lead them to support you!"

"Yes, I know."

Fang Bai nodded.

The Water of Life in his Five Elements Space Ring was limited, but giving it to Immortal Emperor Realm experts required only a small sip, and even less for Immortal King Realm individuals—a single drop would suffice. For the over two hundred villagers in front of him, one bucket would be enough; Fang Bai would certainly not be stingy.

Soon, the over two hundred villagers of Junior Immortal Village received the Water of Life they needed from Fang Bai and carefully consumed it.

Fang Bai and the Variable Immortal Emperor acted as protectors for all the villagers of Junior Immortal Village, allowing them to sit cross-legged by the large lake in the village, focusing on their cultivation.

"Brother, how would you like to teach Fen Yue? Fen Yue has decent talent, and with you teaching Immortal Technique Secrets, she might very well become an Empress!"

The Variable Immortal Emperor messaged Fang Bai.

Though Fang Bai’s current cultivation level wasn’t high, he was the unparalleled War Emperor in a previous life, with countless top-tier Immortal Technique Secrets still in his mind. The Variable Immortal Emperor thought that if his daughter Fen Yue were taught and guided by Fang Bai, it would be far better than if he taught her himself.

Becoming a disciple of the Emperor’s Palace Master and unparalleled War Emperor is an incredible opportunity, which the Variable Immortal Emperor naturally understood; he had to seize it for his daughter.

Fang Bai glanced at Fen Yue, who was sitting and cultivating, and nodded: "Alright! I’ll teach her! However... I must continue to search for friends and family who’ve ascended from the lower realm, so I can’t keep Fen Yue by my side for now."

The Variable Immortal Emperor already knew about some of Fang Bai’s affairs in the lower realm, thought for a moment, and said: "Let’s do this, pass on some Immortal Technique Secrets to Fen Yue before you leave and have her cultivate on her own. Once you’re settled, I’ll send Fen Yue to you. I wasn’t able to become an Immortal Emperor, which is regrettable, so I’ll place my hopes on Fen Yue."

Fang Bai smiled and said: "You yourself can do it too! I’ve already instructed Fen Yue to urge you to cultivate, so it’ll be harder for you to slack off now!"

The Variable Immortal Emperor was taken aback and said with a pained expression: "How could you do this... you’re really putting me in a difficult spot..."

Thinking that his daughter would now be watching him every day, protesting "Father, no slacking allowed" if she ever saw him leisurely, the Variable Immortal Emperor felt a headache.

Though the task of helping Fang Bai rebuild the Emperor’s Palace and take revenge on the eight top-tier Immortal Emperors gave the Variable Immortal Emperor some motivation for cultivation, expecting him to be as diligent as other immortals seemed far-fetched. After all, habits developed over thousands of years aren’t easy to change.

Fang Bai knew Fen Yue was the Variable Immortal Emperor’s Achilles heel; with Fen Yue supervising, the Variable Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to slack off. Fang Bai hoped the Variable Immortal Emperor wouldn’t disappoint him and would quickly become strong enough to be his reliable ally.

"With nothing else to do, let me explain some Immortal Technique Secrets to you... In a past life, you always found all sorts of reasons to leisurely roam the Carefree Immortal Realm, making it difficult for me to find you. Now, you have no excuse, right?"

As Fang Bai spoke, he started explaining the Immortal Technique Secrets based on what the Variable Immortal Emperor cultivated, not allowing him to refuse.

The Variable Immortal Emperor understood that Fang Bai’s actions were for his own good, and his explanations were a stroke of luck that others would seek but hardly find; hence, he had to listen carefully.

The villagers of Junior Immortal Village didn’t have the same talent as the Variable Immortal Emperor, so although they consumed the Water of Life, their advancement process wasn’t as rapid as that of the Variable Immortal Emperor.

It wasn’t until half a month later that some experts in the Immortal Emperor Realm started successfully advancing, and after a month, all over two hundred villagers in Junior Immortal Village had advanced.

During this time, a few experts in the Immortal King Realm encountered difficulties while advancing, but with Fang Bai’s support, they ultimately succeeded. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

When the last villager of Junior Immortal Village emerged from the cultivation state, the village was filled with jubilation.

Thanks to the Water of Life, all over two hundred villagers of Junior Immortal Village had advanced a small realm, greatly enhancing their overall strength.

"Had we possessed such strength a month ago, those demon clan experts in Myriad Demons Mountain would never have trapped us!"

An immortal recalled the events at Myriad Demons Mountain and remarked with emotion.
