Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2244: A Millennium of Memories

"I am acquainted with many of the Emperor’s Palace Immortals and can tell you much about the Emperor’s Palace. However, before that, I must first clarify some things about you..."

Fang Bai knew that the Iceflame Fairy was the Disciple of the Fiery Emperor, but he did not understand why she was staying in the Ice River Palace. Unless this question was clarified, Fang Bai naturally would not reveal his own identity.

Fang Bai speculated that the Iceflame Fairy might have some unavoidable reasons or was manipulated by the Ice River Immortal Emperor with Immortal Technique Secrets, but with his current Cultivation Level, he couldn’t discover this.

"Ask away! I will reveal everything without reserve. Should I utter a single false word, may the Thunderstrike Roar destroy my body and soul!"

The Iceflame Fairy knew that matters concerning the Emperor’s Palace were taboo topics in the Immortal Realm. Any Immortal associated with the Emperor’s Palace might face endless pursuit from the forces of the eight Immortal Emperors. It was normal for Fang Bai to be cautious, so she swore a venomous oath to show her sincerity.

Fang Bai nodded and smiled, "A Disciple of the Fiery Emperor, I do believe in that!"

Hearing this, the Iceflame Fairy was greatly shocked and blurted out, "How did you know that the Fiery Emperor is my master?"

In her view, Fang Bai was so young, not even existing in the Immortal Realm a thousand years ago, and the Fiery Emperor had fallen long ago. Yet Fang Bai not only knew of the Fiery Emperor but also described the master-disciple relationship between her and the Fiery Emperor. This naturally left the Iceflame Fairy incredulous.

Fang Bai said seriously, "Now it’s my turn to ask you, so just answer my questions. If you have any doubts, you can ask me afterward."

The Iceflame Fairy took a deep breath, suppressed her questions, and nodded, "Alright, ask away!"

Fang Bai gazed steadily at the Iceflame Fairy and asked sternly, "A thousand years ago, the Emperor’s Palace was destroyed by the hands of the eight Immortal Emperors, and a hundred thousand disciples suffered grievously. As a surviving disciple of the Emperor’s Palace, you should have a deep enmity with the eight Immortal Emperors. So why are you staying in the Ice River Palace? And why hasn’t the Ice River Immortal Emperor killed you?"

Hearing him mention the destruction of the Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, the Iceflame Fairy became even more convinced that he had deep ties with some of the surviving disciples of the Emperor’s Palace and said bitterly, "This matter... is a long story..."

Fang Bai said, "Then make a long story short."

The Iceflame Fairy looked at the cave entrance, lost in thought as if recalling past events, and after a while, she said, "Do you know, my master, the Fiery Emperor, and the Ice River Immortal Emperor’s daughter, Frost Fairy, were a pair of Immortal lovers?"

Fang Bai hesitated, surprised, "This... I did not know."

In Fang Bai’s memory, when the Emperor’s Palace still existed a thousand years ago, the Fiery Emperor was always single. He did not know when he had formed an Immortal bond with the Ice River Immortal Emperor’s daughter.

However, Fang Bai also knew that the union of the Fiery Emperor and the Frost Fairy must have occurred before the eight Immortal Emperors hunted him and wiped out the Emperor’s Palace. Otherwise, with the Fiery Emperor’s fiery and straightforward nature, he would not have had any ties with the Ice River Immortal Emperor’s daughter.

The Iceflame Fairy continued, "Shortly after the Fiery Emperor and the Frost Fairy became Immortal lovers, they had a daughter. Later, the Frost Fairy committed a grave mistake and was confined by her mother, the Ice River Immortal Emperor, in the Ice River Palace, while her daughter lived with her father, claiming a master-disciple relationship to the outside world..."

Upon hearing this, Fang Bai gave the Iceflame Female Immortal a knowing look and said with a wry smile, "I didn’t expect you and the Fiery Emperor..."

The Iceflame Fairy smiled faintly, "Indeed! The Fiery Emperor is not only my master but also my father."

Fang Bai sighed, "So you are the grandchild of the Ice River Immortal Emperor, no wonder she couldn’t bear to harm you."

He paused and continued, "But I don’t understand, when your parents became Immortal lovers, the relations between the Emperor’s Palace and the Ice River Palace should have been decent. Why would they hide such a worthy celebration?"

The Iceflame Fairy shook her head, "I am not quite sure either. I think... perhaps the Ice River Immortal Emperor opposed my parents being together, and my parents secretly came together and didn’t want the Ice River Immortal Emperor to find out, so they kept it a secret from the external Immortals..."

Fang Bai pondered and felt it was possible. Had the Fiery Emperor informed the Emperor’s Palace Disciples of this, the news would inevitably have reached the Ice River Immortal Emperor. In anger, she might have forced her daughter apart from the Fiery Emperor. Hence, the Fiery Emperor simply kept it hidden even from the Emperor’s Palace.

Perhaps the Ice River Immortal Emperor eventually discovered this and imprisoned her daughter within the Ice River Palace to prevent meetings with the Fiery Emperor.

Later, the war where the eight Immortal Emperors besieged the War Emperor and destroyed the Emperor’s Palace unfolded. The Ice River Immortal Emperor became locked in deadly enmity with the Emperor’s Palace, so she was even more reluctant to release her daughter.

The Emperor’s Palace was annihilated, the Fiery Emperor fell under the pursuit of the eight Immortal Emperors, and once the Ice River Immortal Emperor realized the Iceflame Fairy was her granddaughter, she naturally brought her back to the Ice River Palace.

"Perhaps you think that because I stay in the Ice River Palace, I have forgotten the hatred of the Emperor’s Palace and submitted to the Ice River Immortal Emperor?"

Fang Bai shook his head, "No, from your gaze, I can sense your hatred toward the Ice River Palace and the Ice River Immortal Emperor. So I believe you have never forgotten the enmity of the Emperor’s Palace and have never yielded to the pressure brought upon you by the Ice River Immortal Emperor!"

At this point, he felt a stirring in his heart and asked, "Do you stay in the Ice River Palace for your mother, or is there another reason?"

The Iceflame Fairy replied, "Both reasons. After my mother was confined, I met her a few times and conveyed news of my father’s demise. When she learned of it, she was devastated and grieved terribly. I feared that if I left her, she might truly not survive..."

Fang Bai silently nodded, thinking that having one’s beloved Immortal partner killed by one’s own mother would be an unbearable blow to any Immortal.

The Iceflame Fairy staying in the Ice River Palace to accompany her mother was, in a way, a solace for her.

The Iceflame Fairy added, "The Ice River Immortal Emperor perhaps feared I would leave without saying goodbye and never return to the Ice River Palace again. That’s why she implanted a special Sealing Immortal Technique into my Qi Sea. As a result, I can only venture as far as the Fuxi Mountain range, or the Sealing Immortal Technique in my Qi Sea would be triggered, causing unbearable pain, worse than death..."

She referred only to the "Ice River Immortal Emperor," without mentioning the word "grandmother," highlighting her profound hatred towards the Ice River Immortal Emperor.

Having grown up with her parents and never having met the Ice River Immortal Emperor, she later learned that the powerful Immortal Emperor was her "grandmother" after her father was slain and her mother was confined by the Ice River Immortal Emperor. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

However, towards this "grandmother," she felt nothing but deep-seated hatred.

Hearing that the Ice River Immortal Emperor had embedded a Sealing Immortal Technique into the Iceflame Fairy’s Qi Sea, Fang Bai clenched his fists and said angrily, "What despicable means from the Ice River Immortal Emperor to use such tactics on her own granddaughter!"
