Shortly after Fang Bai left, thousands of immortals appeared at the spot where he had taken the Phoenix’s feather.

These immortals, while pursuing the Phoenix’s feather earlier, had exhausted too much immortal Qi, forcing them to temporarily halt their pursuit. Only after their immortal Qi had recovered did they continue following the trace left by the Phoenix’s feather.

When Fang Bai had acquired the Phoenix’s feather, a strong wave of energy swept the area, which many immortals sensed.

"Could it be that the Phoenix’s feather has been taken by that white-clothed immortal?"

The immortals immediately considered this possibility but quickly dismissed the thought.

In their eyes, that white-clothed immortal didn’t have a high cultivation level and had only managed to overtake them during the pursuit thanks to that Single-Horned Dragon Horse with excellent stamina.

The Phoenix’s feather was intensely hot; even if the white-clothed immortal could catch up, he likely couldn’t take it away.

Yet the Phoenix’s feather abruptly disappeared here. If not taken by that white-clothed immortal, then by whom?

Could it be a stronger immortal intercepted it halfway?

This possibility wasn’t ruled out, as more powerful immortals were indeed drawn by their pursuit of the Phoenix’s feather, some being high-rank or even peak Immortal Emperors, who might have used advanced Immortal Technique Secrets to get ahead and snatch the feather.

"Damn it!"

"Damn!"

Many immortals, who chased for tens of thousands of miles in vain, couldn’t help but fume and curse aloud.

They thought that even if the Phoenix’s feather was taken by another immortal, there should be traces to follow, and they might eventually track down its whereabouts.

What they hadn’t expected was the complete cessation of the Phoenix’s feather’s aura, even with two peak Immortal Emperor realm experts and a half-step Immortal Emperor spreading their divine senses over thousands of miles, there was no trace to be found.

After standing around for a short while, the frustrated immortals eventually dispersed sadly with sighs.

But a few hours after they left, a blazing red light, filled with incredible fire-based immortal power, streaked across the sky, leaving a long fiery tail, shooting southward.

Behind that red light, thousands of immortals were relentlessly pursuing.

That red light was yet another Phoenix’s feather, which initially fled in a different direction from the other feather. After shaking off its pursuers, it planned to regroup, only for another group to catch up, persistently pursuing its trace.

The Phoenix’s feather fleeing towards the western sky looped back after flying tens of thousands of miles and headed east again, intending to meet the other Phoenix’s feather. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

During its flight, it suddenly sensed the aura of the other Phoenix’s feather, so it turned south and accelerated.

Thus, the pursuing immortals adjusted their direction to chase it.

However, with the Phoenix’s feather flying so fast and enduring, the gap between it and the immortals continued to widen.

When it flew over a mysterious region full of intersecting immortal tombs, the Phoenix’s feather suddenly descended, diving into the graveyard and disappearing instantly, leaving no trace of its aura.

The towering immortal tombs resembled palaces, emitting a somber yet grand aura that was awe-inspiring, keeping the immortals from daring to tread lightly among them.

This graveyard, known among the Immortal Realm as the "Myriad Immortal Tomb," was the resting place for Immortal Realm powerhouses who fell during the celestial-demonic war millennia ago.

In that battle, so many Immortal Realm experts fell; some became dust, some left only severed limbs, others merely fragments of bones, indistinguishable from one another.

Later, to honor these fallen immortals, their respective sects or families chose not to relocate the remains for identification but instead erected tombs at their very place of descent, each engraved with the fallen’s name and title for future immortals to pay their respects.

The celestial-demonic war established a relatively stable order for nearly ten thousand years, with the fallen recognized and revered by all immortals in the realm.

Thus, even the most arrogant immortals wouldn’t dare disrespect the "Myriad Immortal Tomb," lest they provoke the ire of numerous immortal sects and families.

Thousands of immortals watched helplessly as the Phoenix’s feather vanished into the tomb, standing suspended in the sky above the tomb, hesitant to venture down.

Some immortals extended their divine senses, attempting to trace the Phoenix’s feather, only to find an invisible defense Qi shield blocking their senses.

"Let’s go down and take a look! Be careful, just don’t disturb the tombs!"

One immortal, unable to resist the Phoenix’s feather’s allure, suggested.

Others wavered, with many nodding in agreement.

So, thousands of immortals, save for a few respectful ones, slowly descended among the Myriad Immortal Tomb.

At this moment, Fang Bai sat cross-legged inside a tomb at the center of the Myriad Immortal Tomb, observing the outside situation with his divine sense.

Fang Bai, possessing seven types of Innate Spiritual Roots, including the Innate Earth Spirit Root, easily entered the tomb without damaging it, joining the company of an immortal’s skeleton.

The formation blocking outside divine sense probing was set by Fang Bai himself, though it didn’t prevent him from monitoring the other immortals.

Releasing a wisp of the Phoenix’s feather aura earlier, Fang Bai lurked here among the tombs.

With experience from acquiring the first Phoenix’s feather, Fang Bai enticed the newly attracted one here, and within a brief hundred breaths, calmed it and led it into his Five Elements Space Ring.

Thanks to the presence of the World Tree, a supreme immortal artifact, the terrifying fire-based immortal power of the Phoenix’s feather was subdued, limiting its influence within a ten-zhang radius.

Thus, Xia Chenyu, Qin Yaorao, and the Single-Horned Dragon Horse within the Five Elements Space Ring, were unaffected by the Phoenix’s feather.

Having secured the second Phoenix’s feather, Fang Bai planned to wait for this matter to settle and for Xia Chenyu’s cultivation to improve further, whereupon he would assist her in absorbing the feather into her body to enhance her cultivation level.

With thousands of immortals landing among the Myriad Immortal Tomb, they soon realized something amiss.

Around them, where there once were tombs, appeared a black demonic Qi filled with intense Evil Qi and the scent of blood. Countless ferocious demon beasts charged from all directions like mighty waves, threatening to devour and drown them.
