Sparring?
Emperor Tianlu nodded upon hearing this and said, "We are all at the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm, so sparring a bit is normal."
"He challenged me when he was only at the early stage of the Immortal Emperor realm," Emperor Canye said calmly.
"What? He challenged you at the early stage? Then you must have beaten him up!" Emperor Tianlu exclaimed, truly impressed by Xia Feng's persistence in wanting to challenge a mid-stage Immortal Emperor as an early-stage one.
"No, when I had the Shaking Fan in hand, we only managed a draw," Emperor Canye truthfully told him, without any exaggeration.
This was because he had come to terms with it; Xia Feng was an extraordinary person, and nothing that happened to him was surprising. Anyone who doubted it could go find Xia Feng themselves.
"Pfft—"
Emperor Tianlu choked on his own spit upon hearing this and sprayed it out.
"Are you kidding me?" Emperor Tianlu asked in surprise.
Emperor Canye ignored him and continued, "When he challenged me, it was only a few decades ago. Now he's already at the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm and wields a divine artifact. Even Emperor Qingxu is no match for him."
(⊙o⊙)…
Emperor Tianlu's eyes widened, utterly bewildered.
Emperor Qingxu was no match for Xia Feng?
He had progressed from the early to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm in just a few decades?
Was breaking through realms as simple as drinking water?
Seeing Emperor Tianlu's disbelieving gaze, Emperor Canye chuckled self-deprecatingly and asked, "Guess how old he is?"
"Five hundred thousand years old?" Emperor Tianlu guessed, suppressing his internal shock, trying to think of a younger age.
Emperor Canye shook his head and said, "Guess bolder."
"Two hundred thousand years old?" Emperor Tianlu continued guessing.
Emperor Canye shook his head again.
One hundred thousand years old?
Fifty thousand years old?
Ten thousand years old?
Seeing Emperor Canye repeatedly shake his head, Emperor Tianlu dared not guess any lower.
"Damn it, just tell me how old he is. I'm not guessing anymore," Emperor Tianlu blurted out.
"Less than a hundred years old," Emperor Canye stated calmly.
"Less than a hundred years old?" Emperor Tianlu shouted, almost roaring, loud enough for Xia Feng ahead to hear him.
Emperor Tianlu quickly realized his gaffe and shut his mouth, but his eyes still held a deep shock.
"Is... is that true?" Emperor Tianlu stammered in surprise.
"Nonsense, am I someone who makes things up?" Emperor Canye retorted with a curse.
"No." Emperor Tianlu nodded. Despite Canye's rough language, he knew his character and that he wouldn't fabricate stories.
"Forget it. You'll know how incredible he is once you interact with him more," Emperor Canye said, not elaborating further.
Emperor Tianlu suppressed his shock, and the two of them sped up their pursuit of Xia Feng.
Not long after, Xia Feng arrived at Divine Realm Mountain ahead of time. After waiting for a while, Emperor Canye and Emperor Tianlu arrived late.
"Xia Feng, you fly too fast. We can't keep up. We really don't understand why you're not restricted," Emperor Canye asked Xia Feng, who was engrossed in his research.
"I don't understand either," Xia Feng shook his head.
He genuinely didn't understand, not that he was lying.
"Xia Feng, can you find out where my brother is?" Emperor Tianlu quickly inquired about Emperor Wumie.
They had been in Divine Realm Mountain for some time, and he hadn't seen a trace of his brother.
"He's right below where we're standing," Xia Feng pointed to the ground beneath them.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianlu quickly jumped away, exclaiming, "My brother is buried right here? He's already dead?"
Xia Feng pointing to the ground they were standing on made Emperor Tianlu believe his brother was surely deceased.
"No, he seems to be trapped. We can ask him himself when we rescue him," Xia Feng said, summoning the Xuanyuan Sword.
Seeing Xia Feng summon the Xuanyuan Sword again, both of them dodged.
Xia Feng slashed his sword at the ground, and the earth split open, releasing Emperor Wumie.
At this moment, he was encased like an egg, wrapped by something, and a faint aura could still be felt.
"Wumie." Emperor Tianlu saw this and immediately flew down to embrace Emperor Wumie, calling out his name repeatedly.
Hearing Emperor Tianlu's calls, the substance wrapping Emperor Wumie automatically detached, revealing his face.
Seeing this, Emperor Tianlu immediately channeled a stream of Immortal energy into Emperor Wumie.
Emperor Wumie's strength then recovered slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Emperor Tianlu, who was close by, exclaiming in surprise, "Tianlu, how did you get in here? It's very dangerous, and it's incredibly bizarre!"
The moment Emperor Wumie opened his eyes, his first concern was for Emperor Tianlu.
Then he saw Emperor Canye and Xia Feng. He looked at Emperor Canye and asked, "You damn fellow, why are you here too?"
Emperor Canye did not get angry at the address. Instead, he smiled and said, "Isn't it to come and save you?"
"You guys are here to seek death together," Emperor Wumie was quite speechless.
Xia Feng, curious about the relationship between the three, turned to Emperor Wumie and asked, "Emperor Wumie, what happened to you inside?"
Emperor Wumie sized up Xia Feng. Emperor Tianlu quickly introduced him, "This is Xia Feng, the third Immortal Emperor from the Heavenly Profound Continent. He's also the one who brought us in."
Emperor Wumie was stunned. He looked closely at Xia Feng. Mid-stage Immortal Emperor.
A mid-stage Immortal Emperor shouldn't be able to break the barrier of Divine Realm Mountain.
However, this was not the time for questions. Regardless, Xia Feng was one of those who came to save him. He said, "The difference between day and night here is huge. During the day, it's fine. You can feel some oppressive aura at most, and the backflow of Immortal energy is suppressed. But at night, the souls of the Immortal Emperors who fought here before emerge. I almost died at their hands."
As Emperor Wumie spoke, a deep fear was still visible in his eyes.
Emperor Canye and Emperor Tianlu's expressions froze upon hearing this.
The Immortal Emperors who participated in the battle here back then—all the Immortal Emperors from the entire Immortal Realm had come, over a hundred Immortal Emperors. What kind of experience would it be to be hunted by over a hundred Immortal Emperors?
The thought sent a shiver down their spines.
Seeing the fearful expressions on their faces, Emperor Wumie said, "That's why I sealed myself here, only able to wait for rescue. It seems I wasn't wrong; I finally waited for you."
"Then let's leave quickly! Xia Feng can take us away," Emperor Tianlu urged.
He didn't want to stay a moment longer and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Emperor Canye also looked at Xia Feng, awaiting his response.
Xia Feng had entered and adapted to this place exceptionally well, feeling comfortable. He had no intention of leaving easily.
However, with these three here, it was inconvenient for him. He smiled and said:
"I'll send you away. I want to stay and explore."
Let alone a hundred dead Immortal Emperors; even if they were alive, he wouldn't be afraid.
If he wasn't afraid of people, why would he be afraid of ghosts?
