Chapter 439 Immortal Gate Level
"Are you me or not?"
A confused and fragmented voice echoed in the sea of boundary.
Ning Qi and the other two felt a little uneasy when they heard this.
One of the two-faced Mountain Ancestor's Dharma image, the scarred Mountain Ancestor, completely shrank, as if it had been absorbed by the other side.
The relationship between the two is not one of clone and original body, but more like one of equality and opposition.
In their previous brief conversation, they also mentioned the past body and the future body.
Ning Qi immediately thought of many things. It seemed that after the Mountain Ancestor obtained the inheritance of Buzhou Mountain, he separated himself into two Dharma bodies, one in the past and one in the future.
It turns out that the Mountain Ancestor not only wants to devour the two worlds and sacrifice all living beings in the two worlds, but even wants to devour his own past body, just to become an immortal.
Just before and after Shan Zu's past body was swallowed, Ning Qi and the other two felt the force suppressing them loosen.
The future incarnation of the Mountain Ancestor seemed to have no spare energy to suppress the three people, so Ning Qi and the other two seized the opportunity to break free and reappeared in the sea of boundaries.
Ahead, Shanzu's future figure, with a body similar to a giant, was lying across the sea of boundaries.
"Haoshan?"
Hai Zu cried out in surprise and doubt.
Although the two have become enemies, Hai Zu now wants to know whether he is still the same Shan Zu as before.
The Mountain Ancestor's blood-red eyes fell on the three people, burying and absorbing the past, and his whole body became somewhat dazzling.
A hazy seven-colored immortal aura surrounded his body, and a blurry gate appeared faintly behind him.
The Holy Ancestor looked at the blurry gate and couldn't help but say, "That is the gate to immortality!"
He and Hai Zu also yearned to become immortals, so they knew something about the signs of becoming immortals.
When a cultivator of Hedao becomes an immortal, he will first release wisps of immortal aura from his body surface, and then the immortal aura will summon an illusory gate in the dark, which is the immortal gate.
No one knows where the gate came from, but there is a legend that it was a passage to immortality built by the heaven in ancient times.
This door separates immortals and mortals. Those behind the door are immortal, while those in front of the door are mortals who still cannot escape life and death and are like ants.
Even cultivators like the Mountain Ancestor, the Saint Ancestor, and the Sea Ancestor who have reached the limit of the Dao are actually ants in the eyes of immortals.
They just live longer and are stronger than other individuals, just like mayflies in the eyes of mortals.
Because they are still cultivating immortality, which means they are not immortals.
Although countless tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years have passed since the ancient times, the path to becoming an immortal after the establishment of the Heavenly Palace has still existed.
All cultivators who want to become immortals must follow this path, no one can escape it!
Because this is the clearest path to becoming an immortal, and the only path explored by ancient immortals.
Only by gaining recognition from the ancient heaven can one open the gate to immortality and become an immortal.
Looking at the illusory door exposed in the sea of boundary, everyone stared blankly, even Ning Qi was no exception.
After all, becoming an immortal is the dream of all cultivators.
Within this sea of world, over the long years, from the birth of the two worlds to the present, it can be said that no one has truly taken this step.
"You are lucky to witness me ascend to the immortal path and enter the immortal gate."
After Shanzu absorbed the past, his face became calm.
At this moment, he seemed to have no intention of killing Ning Qi and the other two, but instead focused all his energy on becoming an immortal.
Even if Ning Qi and the other two escaped from the suppression of his past incarnation, he would no longer take it seriously.
Two boundaries of power surged out from Ning Qi's body, enveloping the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.
In an instant, the three of them were about to cross the huge image of the Mountain Ancestor and return to the Zhenwu spiritual world.
The current situation is unclear, and Ning Qi thinks it is better to take the two ancestors back to the Zhenwu Spirit Realm first.
However, the three people who had just moved were quickly bounced back.
Even if Ning Qi changed to use the power of the sea of boundaries, he could not cross the image of the Mountain Ancestor in front of him.
Perhaps it is impossible to cross the immortal gate behind the Mountain Ancestor!
The immortal gate separates immortals from mortals, and once it appears, it will seal off the place where it is.
Whether within the world or outside the sea of boundaries, no one can cross it unless they become immortals.
Ning Qi and the other two couldn't help but show a look of shock on their faces.
Shan Zu said coldly, "Since I dared to let the three of you escape, didn't I consider that you might escape?"
The Holy Ancestor also pulled Ning Qi back. He had inherited the methods of the ancient saints and had a deeper understanding of becoming an immortal.
"Boy, please stop for a moment. Once the gate to immortality is opened, we will not be able to cross it."
Hai Zu asked Sheng Zu, "Are we just going to watch him become an immortal? Is there no other way to stop him?"
What she wanted to ask was also what Ning Qi wanted to ask.
The Saint Ancestor shook his head, pointed to the immortal gate that appeared behind the Mountain Ancestor, and said:
"Once the Immortal Gate appears, it will protect those who become immortals, unless we can make the Immortal Gate disappear..."
Ning Qi's spiritual perception was elevated to the extreme as he observed the immortal gate.
At the beginning, it was still a little illusory, like a shadow of a door condensed from the immortal aura around the Mountain Ancestor.
But now looking at it again, the shadow of the door is gradually becoming solid, like two white marble door pillars, carved with countless intricate patterns. Each one, viewed with spiritual consciousness, makes people feel that it contains infinite avenues.
Shan Zu snorted coldly, "You are not completely ignorant. I will settle the score with you after I enter the immortal gate!"
After saying this, Shanzu no longer paid attention to them. His huge Dharma body turned behind him and stared at the Immortal Gate.
"The White Jade Gate? Humph, don't try to trick me with the worst immortal gate!"
Ning Qi and the other two were even more surprised when they heard this.
Are there different levels in the immortal sect?
Hai Zu thought of his own inheritance and did not mention this matter. He only said that the immortal gate was open and one could become an immortal by stepping in.
The Holy Ancestor inherited the legacy of the ancient saints, and there was some mention of it, but not much.
Ning Qi remembered the inheritance of the Lord of the Starry Sky that he had obtained from the Ancient Road Sacred Map, and immediately began to read it again.
The Lord of the Starry Sky also mentioned the Immortal Gate, but when he became an immortal, he opened a gate to the starry sky.
The inheritance of the three does not match the immortal gate opened by the Mountain Ancestor in front of them, which makes people even more confused about becoming an immortal.
However, considering that everything in the world is divided into different levels, and everyone cultivates differently, the path to becoming an immortal should not escape this.
They couldn't help but continue looking.
Suddenly, the Mountain Ancestor looked at the entity of Mount Buzhou in his hand.
The next second, he muttered something, uttering a series of obscure syllables, and then ended with the word "收".
"receive!"
The Mountain Ancestor's Dharma body opened his mouth wide, and the Buzhou Mountain entity immediately began to spin and flew towards his mouth.
Gurgle!
With just a gurgling sound, the Mountain Ancestor had already swallowed the entity of Mount Buzhou into his stomach.
In an instant, the immortal aura around Shanzu became stronger.
Since he summoned the phantom of Mount Buzhou, he sacrificed many cultivators and devoured a lot of energy from the war realm and the two worlds.
Then he summoned the remains of the legendary Buzhou Mountain from the sea of boundaries and merged them with it.
All the energy contained in it alone is probably enough to push an ordinary mortal from being an ordinary person to the peak of the state of harmony with the Dao.
The Mountain Ancestor also has his own insights into cultivation and the mysterious inheritance of Mount Buzhou. It can be said that no one can stop him on his path to becoming an immortal.
Ning Qi and the other two all understood this.
The Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor had complicated expressions.
On the one hand, they were worried that if the Mountain Ancestor entered the immortal gate and became a true immortal, they would surely die, but they were powerless to stop it.
On the other hand, I looked at everything in front of me, feeling anticipation.
Even if they cannot become immortals, it would be a pleasure to see the scene of immortality that has not been seen in this sea of world for countless years.
Ning Qi had similar thoughts in his mind.
Fortunately, he could sense that his connection with the Zhenwu spiritual world had not been severed, but the mysterious immortal gate appeared, isolating the space between them and preventing him from moving back.
Shanzu was no longer paying attention to them at this moment, so they were still safe.
Even if Shan Zu truly became an immortal later, Ning Qi felt that he still had a chance to escape.
While he was manipulating the Zhenwu Spirit Realm to move further away from this place, he was also thinking about how to get the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor away from here.
With his ability to be regarded as one by the Boundary Sea, Ning Qi can completely lead the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor into deeper places in the Boundary Sea, such as the turbulent area.
Ning Qi was a very observant person. He had seen that before the Mountain Ancestor opened the Immortal Gate, he seemed to glance towards the depths of the Boundary Sea. Moreover, the Mountain Ancestor had been crossing the Boundary Sea carefully, constantly calming the fluctuations in the Boundary Sea caused by him.
Ning Qi absolutely did not think that what Shanzu did was meaningless.
The Mountain Ancestor probably knows something that they don’t know, and those things come from his Buzhou Mountain inheritance.
Those things also frightened the Mountain Ancestor, so he temporarily gave up suppressing the three of them and destroying the Zhenwu Spirit Realm, and was eager to become an immortal.
Combining this information, Ning Qi felt that they should not be under any security threat for the time being, so he decided to watch the mountain ancestor become an immortal.
Of course, Ning Qi would not give up and continue to look for a way to deal with Shanzu.
He had previously absorbed some of the Mountain Ancestor's power from the roots of the Enlightenment Realm Tree, and was still in the process of analyzing it.
What's more, he also left some things in the shadow of Mount Buzhou.
Ning Qi's eyes reflected the huge image of the Mountain Ancestor, and he quietly changed the frequency of the power in his body to become closer to the Mountain Ancestor.
After swallowing the entity of Buzhou Mountain, the seven colors on the surface of the Mountain Ancestor's body fluctuated for a while, and then bloomed like flowers in spring. The seven colors continued to grow and turned into millions of colors in the world.
These colors are like floating ribbons, surrounding the Dharma body of the Mountain Ancestor.
Each of them represents the method practiced by the Mountain Ancestor, which includes many rules of the world, the past, present and future, as well as everything about the Mountain Ancestor himself.
Ning Qi's eyes shone with golden light. While paying attention to the Immortal Gate, he was also touching the colored stripes on the surface of the Mountain Ancestor's body.
However, after the Mountain Ancestor devoured the entity of Buzhou Mountain, his power continued to change, and even with Ning Qi's understanding, he gradually found it difficult to understand.
The remains of Mount Buzhou flew from the depths of the sea of boundaries. It contained countless energies and secrets. Now it was integrated into the body of the Mountain Ancestor and was changing everything about him.
Rumble!
In the sea of boundaries, the gate to the immortal path becomes more solid. The gate pillars are made of white marble, and are carved with intricate immortal patterns.
But with the addition of the power of Mount Buzhou in the body of the Mountain Ancestor, the two doorposts were gradually changing.
The colored ribbons of immortal aura condensed from the Mountain Ancestor's body began to wrap around the doorpost and merge into the immortal patterns within.
A cool glow gradually emerged from the white marble doorposts, becoming increasingly darker.
Suddenly, in front of the Mountain Ancestor's Dharmakaya, the gate to the immortal path had completely changed, from white marble doorposts to two bronze doorposts.
Between the doorposts, two extremely ancient bronze doors faintly emerged.
"Bronze Gate?"
Ning Qi and the others were all shocked. They never expected that the gate to immortality would undergo such a transformation.
They instantly realized that the bronze door must be of a higher level than the white marble door, otherwise, why would the Mountain Ancestor allow it to transform.
Hai Zu was feeling anxious and uneasy. She felt that if she could become an immortal, she would probably be able to condense that white marble door at best, or even worse.
Because, when she compared herself to Shanzu, she felt that she could not reach Shanzu's level.
I don’t know if there are any lower beings under the White Marble Immortal Sect.
As for the Holy Ancestor, he also squinted his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
The three men were speechless, and the Mountain Ancestor was also speechless. They all stood in the boundary sea and stared at the bronze immortal gate.
The bronze door exudes a faint green light, with layers of fairy halo blooming on it, and fairy mist emerging, making it hazy and difficult to see clearly.
Crunch!
Suddenly, the bronze door seemed to open a crack, revealing a ray of fairy light, shining on the Mountain Ancestor in front of the door.
It seemed that the Mountain Ancestor only needed to take one step forward to push open the bronze fairy gate and enter it.
However, Shanzu's Dharma body was enveloped by immortal light, but he did not move at all.
"You want to get rid of me with just a bronze immortal gate? What a joke!" Shanzu said indignantly.
Ning Qi and the other two just listened as he continued:
"In the past, Mount Buzhou was the only way to ascend to the heavens. I helped you establish a system for becoming immortals. Even menial servants at Mount Buzhou can enter the immortal gate, and at the very least, receive the same treatment as those at the White Marble Gate!"
"And now you're actually using the Bronze Immortal Gate to send me, a descendant who inherited the Buzhou Mountain legacy, away. Have you forgotten the Immortal-Mortal Crossing Agreement we signed back then?"
Hearing this, Ning Qi and the other two looked at each other in confusion.
A miscellaneous servant at Mount Buzhou, the treatment of the White Marble Gate?
Immortal system? Immortal to mortal transition?
They could understand the first part, but they were completely confused by the second part.
It can only be said that the inheritance of Mount Buzhou obtained by the Mountain Ancestor is an opportunity that is much more powerful than they imagined.
The aura around the Mountain Ancestor became even more turbulent, and countless immortal powers rushed out and rushed towards the bronze immortal gate.
The bronze immortal gate creaked, but did not open.
Ning Qi and the other two saw that as the power in the Mountain Ancestor's body continued to erupt and impact the Immortal Gate, pieces of bronze actually fell off the bronze Immortal Gate.
Gradually, a silver light suddenly appeared in the green, and then the entire immortal gate widened by three meters and rose by five meters, finally taking shape.
A silver immortal gate appeared before the Mountain Ancestor's Dharma image, releasing silver light that illuminated his Dharma body.
Ning Qi clearly felt that the silver light particles were more condensed and dense than the bronze ones, and each one was almost twice as large as the bronze ones.
Shanzu stopped in front of the Silver Immortal Gate and frowned.
"Silver Immortal Gate? That's not enough!"
After he finished speaking, the power in his body increased again, and countless immortal auras spread out.
The Buzhou Mountain entity in the body almost instantly released a phantom, wrapping the image of the Mountain Ancestor.
There is a "mountain"-shaped mark on the forehead of the Mountain Ancestor.
A faint light fell from the "Mountain" seal, shining back at the entrance of the Silver Gate.
