Chapter 2542: Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s Letter

"You go ahead and enter secluded cultivation, I’ll wait for your return!"Fang Bai waved at the Dragon Maiden, laughingly saying, "When you emerge, you’ll be a Seven-Rank Immortal King Realm expert! Compared to Linglong and Chenyu, up to now, you’re the strongest one!"

Upon hearing this, the Dragon Maiden was quite excited, grinning, "When I see them later, I’ll have something to boast about... Hmm, and when I come out, you will already be at the Immortal Emperor Realm, right?"

Fang Bai laughed heartily, "After staying so long in the Dragon Blood Pool, if I can’t even reach the Immortal Emperor Realm, that would be too wasteful!"

"I may be a Seven-Rank Immortal King Realm, but you’ve reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, the gap is still vast!"

The Dragon Maiden sighed, looking dejected, knowing that although it seems her realm gap with Fang Bai has decreased, the power disparity has actually grown bigger.

Fang Bai gently tapped the bridge of her nose, smiling, "Alright, be content! At your immortality age, reaching the Seven-Rank Immortal King Realm is extremely rare in the Immortal Realm; countless immortals will envy you! Among all the disciples of Fire Dragon Island throughout history, you’re the only one!"

"Indeed! Indeed!"

Led by the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, the dozen high-ranking members of Fire Dragon Island nodded repeatedly, strongly agreeing with Fang Bai’s words.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, among the historical disciples of Fire Dragon Island, was considered quite talented, yet only advanced to the Five-Rank Immortal King Realm after surpassing a thousand-year immortality age.

In contrast, the Dragon Maiden’s immortality age was nowhere near the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s fraction, yet she was about to advance to the Seven-Rank Immortal King Realm. Comparing the two, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor felt utterly lacking.

After the Dragon Maiden left, Fang Bai clasped hands towards the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, "Island Master, please lend me an Immortal Hall, I intend to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm!"

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor nodded, "You can use my Island Master Hall! How long do you need to be in secluded cultivation?"

Fang Bai extended one finger.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s eyes widened in astonishment, "Only a month?"

Bear in mind, advancing from Immortal King Realm to Immortal Emperor Realm is the most difficult breakthrough on one’s cultivation path, except for reaching the Emperor Realm.

Under all favorable conditions, it usually takes half a year to a year to advance from Immortal King Realm to Immortal Emperor Realm.

If things don’t go smoothly, this timeframe might be extended several times over.

The notion of advancing from half-step Immortal Emperor Realm to Immortal Emperor Realm in merely a month is unheard of by the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor.

Reportedly, even the brilliant War Emperor in his day took a full three months to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Fang Bai shook his head with a smile, "Not a month, but one day!"

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor was taken aback, blurting out, "You mean... you only need one day to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm?"

Seeing Fang Bai nod, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor felt this was beyond his understanding, murmuring, "How can it be..."

Fang Bai did not linger on words, swiftly entering the Island Master Hall, waving his hand to tightly close the doors.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor contemplated, deciding to split the dozen high-ranking members of Fire Dragon Island into two groups: one to guard the vicinity of the Island Master Hall, and the other near the Dragon Maiden’s Immortal Residence, to prevent their cultivation from being disturbed.

The Dragon Maiden and Fang Bai, one being the most outstanding disciple of Fire Dragon Island in ten thousand years, the other the island’s sole Elder of Tribute, their breakthroughs were of great significance to the island.

In the blink of an eye, the month passed swiftly.

On this day, the Immortal Birds patrolling a thousand miles away from Fire Dragon Island sounded a warning cry.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor grew nervous, ordering all disciples to form ranks in preparedness, while he soared into the void to see which immortals were invading.

"It’s the Nine-Headed Bird Clan again... Could they be unsatisfied with their last defeat and are coming back for more?"

Upon spotting an expert of Immortal King Realm from the Nine-Headed Bird Clan in his divine sense, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor clenched his fists in rising anger.

But then he realized that only one expert from the Nine-Headed Bird Clan had come this time.

A single expert from the Nine-Headed Bird Clan’s Immortal King Realm naturally posed no threat to Fire Dragon Island’s defenses, so swiftly the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, filled with killing intent, welcomed them to see what the Nine-Headed Bird Clan was up to.

Unexpectedly, that Nine-Headed Bird Clan expert from the Immortal King Realm flung a letter from afar into the void, then turned around and fled.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor hesitated a bit, then deemed chasing after a Nine-Headed Bird Clan Immortal King to be pointless for the bigger picture. He used immortal power to gather the letter with his Immortal Essence hand, which hovered before him as he opened it.

"I hear your island has the Dragon Scale Armor treasure, in ten days I will come to borrow it for appreciation! Surely the Fire Dragon Island Master will not disappoint this Immortal Emperor!"

The letter delivered by the Nine-Headed Bird Clan’s Immortal King contained this statement, signed by the "South Pole Immortal Emperor".

This sentence, though reading politely, brimmed with an imperious arrogance, seeming to declare the Dragon Scale Armor was already borrowed, leaving Fire Dragon Island no room for refusal.

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor understood that despite saying "borrow for appreciation", once such a island-defending Emperor’s Instrument was lent, it would likely vanish, never to be returned.

"South Pole Immortal Emperor... even he wants a part? Why was this letter delivered by a Nine-Headed Bird Clan Immortal? Could they be in alliance?"

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor’s gaze lingered on the "South Pole Immortal Emperor" signature, his face turning grim.

South Pole Immortal Emperor resides on Antarctica Immortal Island, more than a hundred thousand miles away from Fire Dragon Island, and previously kept to themselves, peaceably.

To the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, possessing peak Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, South Pole Immortal Emperor was an Upper Immortal—someone not to offend—therefore, the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor had once visited him, and the South Pole Immortal Emperor had been courteous.

Unexpectedly, this time, the seemingly benevolent South Pole Immortal Emperor actually eyed their Fire Dragon Island’s Dragon Scale Armor, intending to "borrow" it.

"Must be the alluring Female Immortal of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan persuading the South Pole Immortal Emperor to intervene. Damn Nine-Headed Bird Clan! Damn South Pole Immortal Emperor!"

The Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor expressed indignation, exerting immortal power to shatter the letter into powder.

With the South Pole Immortal Emperor arriving in ten days to "borrow" the Dragon Scale Armor, if he really comes, it would be a greater crisis than all the Nine-Headed Bird Clan’s previous invasions, thus the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor dared not delay, returning to Fire Dragon Island in sorrowful anger to discuss strategy with the island’s high-ranking members.

"What? Even the South Pole Immortal Emperor covets our Dragon Scale Armor?"

"Used to think he was a decent immortal, but didn’t expect him to be so shameless!"

"Hmph, hypocritical old scoundrel!"

"Said to borrow for appreciation, but if we refuse, that old scoundrel might resort to forceful snatching!"

"Cannot let him succeed!"

...

Upon hearing the news brought back by the Fire Dragon Immortal Emperor, the high-ranking members of Fire Dragon Island were all righteously indignant.

Yet after their righteous indignation, they fell silent, observing solemnity and gravity in each other’s faces.
