Chapter 2452: Chapter 2452: Immortal Emperor Projection

"Good... good... good..."

A moment later, Danyang Immortal Emperor finally let out a slow breath, saying "good" three times in a row. The solemnity on his face turned into excitement.

He tossed the two Immortal Artifacts in his hand to Yanshi Immortal Emperor and said, "Take a look!"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor didn’t understand the Dao of Artifact Refining, but he could still tell the quality of an Immortal Artifact. He took them, swept his eyes over them a few times, and his gaze instantly lit up. Laughing, he said, "Two Immortal Artifacts—one repaired to perfect condition, not a scratch left, and the other upgraded from mid King Grade Immortal King level to high King Grade Immortal King level... This disciple of mine, I really picked up a treasure!"

Danyang Immortal Emperor also burst out laughing. "He used to be your disciple, but from now on, he’ll be my disciple!"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor shook his head like a rattle-drum. "No way! You can guide him in the Dao of Artifact Refining, but when it comes to teaching Immortal Technique Secrets, that still has to be me! This disciple, I’m not yielding!"

Danyang Immortal Emperor glared. "So what you mean is, I’m not allowed to teach him Immortal Technique Secrets?"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor said proudly, "Our realms may be equivalent, but you’re obsessed with the Dao of Artifact Refining and neglect your Cultivation, so in terms of battle strength, you’ve always been a notch below me. You have to admit that, right?"

Danyang Immortal Emperor had taken a fancy to Fang Bai’s artifact refining aptitude and was determined to snatch him over as his own disciple. With Fang Bai right there, he naturally refused to admit his battle strength was weaker than Yanshi Immortal Emperor’s. He jabbed a finger at Yanshi, hopping mad as he said, "Nonsense! How could my battle strength be weaker than yours?"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor also didn’t want his monstrous disciple to be taken away. He sneered, "If I say you’re weaker, then you’re weaker! You don’t accept it, do you? Why don’t we have a fight? Let this disciple of mine be the witness!"

"Fight then! You think I’m afraid of you?"

Danyang Immortal Emperor’s fighting spirit was stirred. His figure flickered, and he appeared in the sky outside the Immortal Residence, shouting at Yanshi Immortal Emperor to come up.

"Old fellow, don’t blame me if I embarrass you!"

Yanshi Immortal Emperor then flew out of the Immortal Hall. Without another word, he clashed head-on with Danyang Immortal Emperor in the void.

The two of them—one the Vice Palace Master of Golden Crow Palace, the other an Elder with the status of Artifact Refiner—both had Cultivation Levels at high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm. When their great battle erupted, the skies above Golden Crow Palace changed color, wind and cloud roiled, tidal waves of force swept out, and the pressure was overwhelming.

Of the tens of thousands of Golden Crow Palace disciples scattered across various parts of Golden Crow Palace Mountain, those nearby raised their heads to look, while those farther away probed with their Divine Sense. Discovering that two high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses of their own palace were actually fighting, with no idea what had happened, they flocked over while asking one another what was going on.

The high-level figures of Golden Crow Palace were just as baffled. They flew up into the void and shouted questions, but Yanshi Immortal Emperor and Danyang Immortal Emperor were fighting fiercely, with no time to be distracted, and simply didn’t respond.

"Wushuang, tell me, what’s wrong with them?"

Seeing Fang Bai walk out from Yanshi Immortal Emperor’s Immortal Hall and guessing this matter had something to do with him, an Elder of Golden Crow Palace landed beside him, frowning as he asked.

"Roughly... they’re fighting over who gets to take me as their disciple..."

In just a few words, Fang Bai simply explained the conflict between Yanshi Immortal Emperor and Danyang Immortal Emperor over him. Then he noticed that Elder’s gaze on him also lit up.

"How about this—you take me as your master instead and follow me to learn Immortal Technique Secrets, how does that sound?"

That Elder sized Fang Bai up a few times, then suddenly grabbed Fang Bai’s arm, speaking excitedly.

In the Immortal Realm, there were hardly any strong cultivators who didn’t cherish talent.

The older a powerhouse was, the more they wanted their lifetime’s knowledge to be passed down. So for Heaven’s Chosen and monstrous geniuses, they valued them the most, even willing to fight over them at all costs.

After Fang Bai entered Golden Crow Palace as a Heaven’s Chosen, he first defeated Danyang Immortal King and multiple other challenging Heaven’s Chosen, then fought Qingyan Immortal King—whose Cultivation far surpassed his—to a draw. His performance was astonishing. If Yanshi Immortal Emperor hadn’t gotten there first, the other high-level members would have long since been tempted.

Who would have thought Fang Bai’s aptitude and talent didn’t only manifest in Immortal Dao Cultivation; even in the Dao of Artifact Refining, he possessed extremely high talent and was likely to become another Artifact Refiner after Danyang Immortal Emperor.

In that case, calling Fang Bai a monstrous talent was already somewhat underestimating him. His future Immortal path would be immeasurable.

Immortals would eventually fall. If they had a disciple who could inherit their Immortal Technique Secrets or their skills in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, and even carry them forward, then even if the Immortal fell, later generations, when speaking of him, would still show deep respect and longing.

For a living Immortal, to receive such treatment after falling was a matter of supreme glory.

Therefore, when encountering a monstrous talent like Fang Bai, there were hardly any Immortals who could remain unmoved.

First Danyang Immortal Emperor wanted to snatch Fang Bai from Yanshi Immortal Emperor, and then this Golden Crow Palace Elder who had come over to question Fang Bai also gave rise to the desire to fight over him.

"Haha, it’s still best if I’m the one to teach you Immortal Technique Secrets! I can guarantee you that within a thousand years, I’ll have you step into Immortal Emperor Realm!"

In an instant, another Elder descended by Fang Bai’s side, grabbed his other arm, and started tugging back and forth with the previous Elder.

So before long, those two Elders also erupted into conflict over Fang Bai, fighting from the ground up into the void.

Thus, a large swathe of sky above Golden Crow Palace Mountain became the battleground of several Golden Crow Palace high-level figures.

The void trembled nonstop, the sky darkened and flickered, and towering mountains of ten thousand zhang collapsed one after another in their mutual attacks.

Several high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm powerhouses brawling over a disciple—this could be called a spectacle even in the Immortal Realm.

The tens of thousands of Golden Crow Palace disciples were dumbfounded as they watched, and at the same time, they were both envious and jealous of Fang Bai, this "culprit" who had caused several high-level figures to wage war.

They understood that from this day on, no matter which high-level figure Fang Bai became a disciple of, his status would be rock-solid, and no fellow disciple would dare bully him again.

"With several Golden Crow Palace high-level figures fighting like this, why hasn’t the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor come out to stop them?"

Fang Bai waited for quite a while and saw no reaction from the Golden Crow Palace’s Palace Master Hall. He couldn’t help feeling very puzzled.

The information he’d gotten earlier was that the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor was in seclusion, Cultivating in the hall. With such a huge commotion outside, there was no way he didn’t know.

If he still didn’t show himself to stop this battle between his subordinates, then there was only one possibility—he was at a critical juncture in his Cultivation and couldn’t spare any attention.

"You lot, cease at once!"

Just as Fang Bai was full of doubts, a vague figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the Golden Crow Palace’s Palace Master Hall, and at the same time, a deep shout came from its mouth.

Fang Bai looked up at that vague figure, knowing it was neither the true body of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor nor his Primordial Spirit, but merely a Primordial Spirit projection secret technique he had used, a way to communicate with the Golden Crow Palace high-level figures.

That phantom’s deep shout was like rolling thunder, as if it would shatter the entire void.

The Golden Crow Sect high-level figures who were in the middle of their clash all trembled, then immediately stopped fighting and separated.

It was merely a Primordial Spirit projection, but it represented the will of the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor. The will of an Immortal Emperor—who would dare defy it?
