"Junior Brother Quinn, I plan to set up a Grand Fivefold Immortal Array here to suppress the Immortal Realm's fate..." Seeing Quinn Tong call him Senior Brother, Joe Di didn't waste any more words and simply addressed Quinn as Junior Brother. Once the Immortal City was established, Quinn would also cultivate within it, so addressing each other as Senior and Junior Brother was fitting.
Before Joe Di could finish, Quinn Tong eagerly interrupted, "If you're using the Grand Fivefold Array to suppress fate, it's best to have the Five Element Banners."
"I know, but the Five Element Banners are far too rare. For now, I plan to use ordinary array flags instead," Joe Di replied. If not for the Terraflame Banner, he wouldn't have thought of using the Grand Fivefold Immortal Array to suppress fate.
Quinn Tong spoke with a hint of excitement, "Senior Brother Joe, I know where the Starwater Banner is."
"Starwater Banner?" Joe Di was even more excited than Quinn Tong. "Where is the Starwater Banner?"
Originally, he planned to set up the Grand Fivefold Array to gather the Immortal Realm's fate. Now that Quinn Tong had discovered the remnants of fate in the Immortal Realm, his strategy naturally changed. The Grand Fivefold Array would still be laid, but now it was to suppress the Immortal Realm's fate, rather than gather it.
As long as this portion of the Immortal Realm's fate was suppressed, the scattered fate would gradually gather again. Even the fate that had been stolen would regenerate. Restoring the Immortal Realm to its former glory was not impossible.
Now that Quinn Tong said he knew the whereabouts of the Starwater Banner, it was double joy for Joe Di. Originally, he could use the Terraflame Banner to suppress fate, but with the addition of the Starwater Banner, the speed of gathering fate would be much faster, and in the initial stage, the scope of the Immortal City could even double.
Each of the Five Element Banners is an innate spiritual treasure. These five banners are: Azure Lotus Banner, Terraflame Banner, Cloudrealm Banner, Starwater Banner, and Earthgold Banner.
Collecting all five banners is nearly impossible. Even obtaining two is already a great fortune, let alone using them to suppress fate.
Joe Di's main concern now was whether the Starwater Banner could actually be retrieved.
"It's in Threefold Immortal City. I once refined some immortal essence there. The city's lord is Zachary Sang, a powerful Golden Immortal. I heard from others that when he advanced to Golden Immortal, there was no tribulation, so I suspect he might be a false Golden Immortal. He founded Threefold Immortal City, and there, he is like a king—no one dares show him the slightest disrespect. Anyone who does has already turned to dust and bones." Quinn Tong sighed as he spoke.
Quinn Tong not only suspected that Zachary Sang was a false Golden Immortal, but also wondered if he himself was a false True Immortal. Only Joe Di had passed through the tribulation and should be considered a true True Immortal.
As he spoke, Quinn Tong took out a jade slip and handed it to Joe Di. "Senior Brother Joe, this jade slip contains the location of Threefold Immortal City. If you want to go there, I’d like to accompany you."
Joe Di accepted the jade slip, swept it with his spiritual sense, then handed another jade slip to Quinn Tong and said, "You don’t need to come with me. I need you to do something for me. Go to the Imperial Sea. I’ve already arranged with Ben Taylor: whoever finds a safe foothold first should leave a message at the Imperial Sea. If Ben Taylor is there, bring him to me. If not, follow the instructions on the jade slip to leave a mark there, then come back and help me."
"Yes, Senior Brother, I’ll set out right away." Quinn Tong replied eagerly.
He had lived in the Immortal Realm for so many years like a walking corpse, but now, with a clear goal, every moment was filled with hope.
After Quinn Tong left, Joe Di immediately set up a concealed immortal array to hide this immortal spring, then headed toward Threefold Immortal City.
...
Threefold Immortal City was extremely far from the Celestial Bamboo River. Even with the location Quinn Tong provided, after advancing to True Immortal, Joe Di’s spiritual sense was ten times faster than before, yet traveling there with Moria Lane still took several days.
