Chapter 2522: Sea of Consciousness Accommodates a Supreme Treasure
When the third batch of disciples left and had not returned for a long time, the leaders of the seven top forces finally felt that something was amiss.The three disciples from the Emperor’s Palace who appeared successively were all at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm, while the assassins sent by the seven top forces were actual Immortal Emperor Realm experts.
Logically, seven Immortal Emperor Realm experts chasing one Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm expert should capture them quickly and return to report.
But now, none of the three disciples they sent have returned.
Something was definitely off.
"Another disciple of the Emperor’s Palace at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm... This matter reeks of something strange, I’ll go check it out myself!"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor, the leader of the Dragon Taming Palace’s trial disciples, had a bad premonition as he watched three disciples fail to return in succession.
When he once again caught the aura of a disciple from the Emperor’s Palace, his Divine Sense locked onto the target, and his body shot forward like a fired bullet, heading towards the disciple.
That disciple from the Emperor’s Palace was naturally Fang Bai, and his purpose this time was to lure the Red Ape Immortal Emperor into his trap.
Fang Bai had previously slain over twenty Immortal Emperor Realm experts from the seven top forces and knew that once the news spread, it would shake the Immortal Realm, causing a fierce backlash from the seven top forces, even making it impossible for the top Immortal Emperors to continue cultivating calmly.
However, until the real "culprit" was found, the mutual suspicion and guesswork among the seven top forces would only deepen.
After all, apart from the Emperor’s Palace, the ones who stood to gain the most were the other several top forces.
Although every top force dared to swear they hadn’t committed such acts, why would the other top sects believe them?
As for the repeatedly appearing disciples of the Emperor’s Palace, it wasn’t out of the question that some powerful members of the top forces were pretending, deliberately luring away disciples from other top forces to kill them, weakening the opponent’s strength.
It was known that in the past, the eight top Immortal Emperors were friendly with the War Emperor, and it was normal for them to learn something from the Emperor’s Palace while exchanging Immortal Technique Secrets with him, which were then passed down to the top members of the sects...
Therefore, some top-level members of the top forces could also release a trace of the unique aura of the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace.
Although the real disciples of the Emperor’s Palace could tell the difference, other immortals might not, thus achieving the effect of confusing reality with illusion.
Hence, the experts of the seven top forces on the scene were all suspicious and guessing, thinking that this might be the work of real disciples from the Emperor’s Palace, or it could be intentional acts by other top forces.
However, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor was more inclined to believe it was the work of the disciples from the Emperor’s Palace.
Thus, when he sensed the aura of a disciple from the Emperor’s Palace again, he decided to get to the bottom of it and rushed over immediately.
The experts from the other six top forces remained still when they saw the Red Ape Immortal Emperor take the lead.
With the strength of the Red Ape Immortal Emperor chasing a minor immortal at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor, if he couldn’t catch them or lost them, he wouldn’t have a place in the Immortal Realm in the future.
Fang Bai and the Red Ape Immortal Emperor were initially nearly a thousand miles apart, a considerable distance, yet the Red Ape Immortal Emperor used some secret technique, causing his figure to erupt suddenly, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.
Fang Bai arched an eyebrow, knowing the Red Ape Immortal Emperor was using a supreme secret technique from the Dragon Taming Palace, incredibly fast, second only to an Immortal Emperor tearing through the void and crossing the Endless Space.
However, Fang Bai also understood that using such a secret technique was extremely depleting of immortal power, and after the Red Ape Immortal Emperor used it once, he might not use it a second time.
As expected, as he anticipated, when the Red Ape Immortal Emperor was still several hundred miles away from Fang Bai, his body transformed into a flash of lightning, speeding towards him.
Fang Bai wasn’t anxious. He tapped his finger on the Sea of Consciousness at his brow, and with a "whoosh," the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade flew out, growing from small to large, like a boat.
Upon reaching the edge of the Immortal Emperor Realm in cultivation level, Fang Bai was able to incorporate several treasures from his Five Elements Space Ring into his Sea of Consciousness.
The Sea of Consciousness, besides the Qi Sea, is the second most critical place in an immortal’s body.
The Qi Sea can hold Immortal Qi and Primordial Spirit, while the Sea of Consciousness releases Divine Sense and stores treasures.
Storing treasures in the Sea of Consciousness further stimulates the treasures’ spirituality and deepens the mental connection with the holder, allowing for smoother control and greater power.
Also, storing treasures in the Sea of Consciousness allows for more convenient and quicker summoning in the future.
Fang Bai took to the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, lightly tapped his foot, and one man and one blade turned into a long streak of blood light, appearing dozens of miles away in an instant.
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor pursued quickly, but Fang Bai fled with equal speed.
In their chase and escape, the two immortals traveled tens of thousands of miles away.
After all, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor’s cultivation level was far superior to Fang Bai’s, and the distance between them was gradually closing.
Despite this, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor was still shocked.
He couldn’t have imagined that the flying technique of that Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm disciple of the Emperor’s Palace was so formidable.
If it were any other ordinary Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm expert, he would have caught them long ago and dealt with them effortlessly.
"Hmm? Could his escape speed be due to that Blood Blade?"
When the distance between the two closed to about a hundred miles, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor’s Divine Sense fell on the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade beneath Fang Bai’s feet.
He sensed the bloodthirsty aura and intense Evil Qi emanating from the Blood Blade, imagining how many immortals it had slain and how much immortal blood it had drunk to emit such a terrifying aura.
"I can’t even tell the grade of that Blood Blade... Could it be higher than my Profound Iron Hammer?"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor’s eyes gleamed, and his breath quickened.
The Profound Iron Hammer he currently wielded was a Superior Immortal Emperor level Immortal Artifact, a prized treasure among immortals, its power second only to Emperor’s Instruments.
But the Red Ape Immortal Emperor, accustomed to the Profound Iron Hammer, found himself unable to discern the grade of the Blood Blade...
Could something higher than the Profound Iron Hammer be an Emperor’s Instrument?
Even if it wasn’t an Emperor’s Instrument, it should be a treasure infinitely close to one!
Legend has it that Emperor’s Instruments in the Immortal Realm were all crafted by mighty beings during the Ancient Era.
Those mighty beings weren’t perfectly successful, and some "defective products" would fall into the Immortal Realm, passed down to the present.
Even the "defective products" of an Emperor’s Instrument were more powerful than a real Emperor’s Instrument in some ways, though they surpassed artifacts of the Immortal Emperor level in others.
Still, even the "defective products" of an Emperor’s Instrument were nearly impossible to obtain without fate.
"No matter who you are, that Blood Blade... is mine!"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor revved up and pursued at full speed.
After flying nearly a thousand miles further, Fang Bai made a rapid descent, disappearing into a dense forest below.
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor, worried that Fang Bai had some strange secret technique for escaping, kept his Divine Sense locked on him during the chase. Seeing Fang Bai slip into the dense forest, and determining that the forest held no peculiarities, he let out a long whistle and descended as well.
