Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu were whispering sweet nothings to each other, deeply enamored with one another. At this moment, in their eyes, there was no room for anything else but each other, as if the whole world consisted of just the two of them.

Of course, most of their conversation was conducted via Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique, as some matters, like Fang Bai having killed numerous disciples of the eight top Immortal Emperors, should not be disclosed to outsiders. Otherwise, given the multitude of spies around them, one could not guarantee that there weren’t eyes and ears of the eight top Immortal Emperors, which could lead to serious trouble if overheard.

Recently, due to the frequent demise of their disciples, the eight top Immortal Emperors had become furious, believing that the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace were resurging. They had mobilized forces to hunt down the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace across the entire Immortal Realm.

With such tight security now, Fang Bai was careful in his actions, not wanting to invite trouble.

"In your future travels, you’d better change your appearance. Otherwise, wherever you go, you’ll attract attention and cause a lot of trouble."

Lowering his head to lightly kiss Xia Chenyu’s alluring face, Fang Bai smiled and reminded her.

In the Immortal Realm, female immortals like Xia Chenyu, with Innate Spiritual Root and captivating beauty, were always the targets of pursuit and covet by male immortals.

If she met a male immortal who was upright and open-minded, he would willingly withdraw if his advances were rejected.

But if she encountered a narrow-minded, deeply scheming male immortal, if rejected, such a person might become enraged and resort to coercive means.

Take today for example, Xia Chenyu was targeted by the Star-Catching Immortal King, and if not for Fang Bai’s appearance, she might have struggled to escape his clutches.

"Okay, I understand."

To Xia Chenyu, Fang Bai’s words were both a warning and praise of her beauty, making her happy. She giggled and said, "Then I’ll make myself ugly from now on, so immortals won’t want to look at me twice!"

Fang Bai said, "In the Immortal Realm, there are no ugly female immortals. You just need to make yourself less outstanding." Pausing, he added, "There are hundreds of thousands of immortals here, with the strongest being half-step Immortal Emperor. The battle for the Phoenix Feather will be fierce; your strength is too weak, so don’t participate. Soon I’ll place you in the Five Elements Space Ring, is it alright for you to talk with Yaorao?"

"I’ll listen to you. I haven’t seen Yaorao in years, and I really miss her."

Xia Chenyu nodded obediently.

The immortals vying for the Phoenix Feather are mainly Immortal King Realm experts, but there are also many Immortal Emperor Realm experts, along with two half-step Immortal Emperors.

Once they start fighting, the pressure will envelop all, and the energy will surge through the heavens and earth. Immortals like Xia Chenyu, with such cultivation level, can’t withstand it. They must either stay far away to avoid becoming cannon fodder or wield peerless Immortal Artifacts to counteract the immense pressure and shock waves.

The flames erupting from the mouth of Chiyan Mountain became increasingly fierce, raising the temperature within a thousand miles. All the immortals watched the direction of Chiyan Mountain’s mouth, their eyes shining with excitement.

They knew this was a sign of the impending appearance of the Phoenix Feather. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The two Phoenix Feathers were formed from the merging of essence blood from two ancient fire-system Immortal Emperors. They emitted an extremely high-temperature fire power, causing drastic environmental changes in the Chiyan Mountain area.

It’s imaginable that once the two Phoenix Feathers break through the mountain of Chiyan Mountain, the temperature around will rise sharply. At that time, even some fire-system immortals present would have to distance themselves.

Moments later, Fang Bai and Xia Chenyu left hand in hand.

At a hidden location a thousand miles away from Chiyan Mountain, Fang Bai opened the Five Elements Space Ring, allowing Xia Chenyu to enter and meet Qin Yaorao, then flew back to Chiyan Mountain, blending into the tens of thousands of fire-system immortals.

Qin Yaorao and Xia Chenyu had known each other in the mortal world, and their relationship was like that of sisters, but after ascending to the Immortal Realm, they separated and hadn’t seen each other for years.

Xia Chenyu’s sudden appearance left Qin Yaorao both surprised and delighted.

The two women held hands and sat under the World Tree for a long talk.

Subsequently, Qin Yaorao began to show Xia Chenyu around the Five Elements Space Ring, introducing the World Tree, Spring of Life, Peach Immortal Tree, Chaos Lotus, and Single-Horned Dragon Horse to Xia Chenyu.

Xia Chenyu had not expected that Fang Bai’s Five Elements Space Ring contained so many treasures, and many of them, once taken outside, would drive the majority of immortals in the Immortal Realm mad.

Leaving aside the ultimate treasures of the Immortal Realm like the World Tree and Spring of Life, those cultivation resources piling up like mountains were something Xia Chenyu seldom encountered before.

"Where did Fang Bai get so many cultivation resources? Did he empty out some Sect’s treasure trove?"

Xia Chenyu was touching and looking at this and that, frequently exclaiming. She felt that the Dragon and Phoenix Twin Swords she had previously expended significant cultivation resources to upgrade with the help of an Artifact Refiner paled in comparison to the Immortal Artifacts before her.

"When I first entered the Five Elements Space Ring, I felt just like you, it was unbelievable. I thought how could Fang Bai, relying on his own strength alone, possibly acquire so many cultivation resources! But after staying here a long time, I got used to it. That’s just how incredible our man is!"

Seeing Xia Chenyu’s shock, Qin Yaorao covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

Xia Chenyu nodded in agreement, then looked at Qin Yaorao, enviously asking, "Yaorao, I can no longer tell your cultivation level, what realm are you at now?"

Qin Yaorao replied, "When Fang Bai and I met in the Immortal Realm, we were both just at the first-tier Immortal King Realm. Later, after taking a drop of Water of Life, I advanced to the second-tier Immortal King Realm... Look, what is stored in that pond is the Water of Life."

"A drop of water can advance a small realm? Is it really that miraculous?"

Xia Chenyu rose and approached the pond containing the Water of Life, squatting down to examine it. From the ink-black water, she sensed a powerful and mysterious life force.

Qin Yaorao joined her, excitedly saying, "Why not try a drop yourself?"

Xia Chenyu considered it and said, "I’ll wait until the matter outside is settled, then I’ll ask Fang Bai!"

"Alright."

Qin Yaorao nodded, then sighed softly, saying, "I really want to go out and fight alongside Fang Bai, but surely he won’t agree... Oh, I’ve been in this Five Elements Space Ring for a while now. Although I’ve spent most of the time cultivating, staying here too long can feel tedious. Luckily you came in, now I have someone to talk to."¹

From Xia Chenyu’s words earlier, Qin Yaorao learned some things about the outside world, and couldn’t help but feel restless. But knowing Fang Bai was about to engage in a battle outside, which was extremely dangerous, Fang Bai wouldn’t let them go out to take risks, so her idea to go out and fight alongside him was simply idle talk.
