Chapter 468 The Voice Behind the Immortal Gate
Not far from the True Martial Spirit Realm, a spherical space suddenly appeared in the Boundary Sea.
This spherical space is not large, only about fifty miles in diameter, and it is semi-transparent.
It was a space that Ning Qi created alone in the Boundary Sea using his power as a Boundary Lord, specifically for the Holy Ancestor to use in condensing the Immortal Gate.
At this moment, only three people are in this space.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu hovered in mid-air, looking up at the Holy Ancestor who was flying into the sky.
The power within the Holy Ancestor's body was rapidly transforming into immortal power.
A wisp of golden immortal aura emanated from him, swirling around the Holy Ancestor, and behind him, a blurry gate appeared.
"It's starting!" Haizu said, sounding slightly nervous.
This time it's not a test, but a true gathering of immortals.
It involves too many things, whether the Holy Ancestor can truly break through, and whether Ning Qi's judgment can open up a new path to immortality.
Of course, this also relates to Haizu's own choices.
She firmly believed in Ning Qi, so she was unwilling for him to remove the Boundary Sea Energy from her body.
Ning Qi remained silent, simply observing the progress of the Immortal Sect's formation.
True immortal sects can separate immortals from mortals and block time and space.
Ning Qi had the Holy Ancestor condense the Immortal Gate within this space, which was entirely under his control, so that he could better perceive the situation of the Immortal Gate.
While the Holy Ancestor was gathering immortal energy, he still kept an eye on the two of them from above.
"Boy, I sense that the power gathering within me isn't the only thing forming in this immortal sect..."
The two of them had agreed beforehand that the Holy Ancestor would inform Ning Qi of any situations that arose.
Ning Qi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Since the upper realm can control the immortal sects, the process of the immortal sects' formation must involve the upper realm.
The only thing Ning Qi couldn't understand was how those people from the fairy realm managed to do it.
After all, any cultivator in the lower realm who wants to become an immortal will take this path; no one can escape the immortal gate.
And to be able to encompass so many people, who are from different times and spaces, could it be that the celestial realm of the past could truly rule over everything in heaven and earth?
The next second, a dazzling golden light flashed by.
Behind the Holy Ancestor, the aura of immortality surged.
The blurry image of the immortal sects seemed to become clear in an instant, as if different immortal sects had been formed based on the Holy Ancestor's aptitude and cultivation methods.
A celestial gate inscribed with divine script seemed to have transcended time and space, descending behind the Holy Ancestor.
Rumble!
Ning Qi frowned slightly.
He didn't sense any energy flowing through the space he had created at all!
This means that the energy above the Immortal Gate probably doesn't come from the outside world, which is very strange.
The immortal power within the Holy Ancestor could never have condensed into such a large immortal gate, let alone the fact that the immortal gate would later help those who became immortals undergo baptism and attain enlightenment and ascension.
However, Ning Qi didn't have time to think about anything deeper.
Because he had already felt terrifying pressure from the newly descended immortal gate.
Separating immortals from mortals, blocking time and space...
Ning Qi and Hai Zu were both forced to retreat slowly from the void, as if an invisible wall was pushing them backward.
"Shall we also try to gather our immortal power?"
Ning Qi suddenly said.
Haizu did as instructed.
The energy within their bodies instantly transformed, condensing into several streams of immortal power.
Immortal power flowed through their bodies, instantly spreading throughout them as if they had put on a protective layer.
Strangely, as soon as they finished doing all this, the overwhelming pressure lessened considerably.
The two figures immediately stopped in their retreat.
Although it didn't completely stop the figure, the pushing force was noticeably gentler.
Ning Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately used his immortal power to withstand the weakened thrust.
As expected, he completely stopped his retreat and stood still in mid-air.
"It really works?" Haizu asked in surprise.
Ning Qi narrowed his eyes.
"The Immortal Sect truly isolates immortals from mortals. As long as the other party has immortal power within them, it won't be too difficult."
Hai Zu asked suspiciously:
"This immortal sect is just like those noble families in the mortal world. As long as you are a commoner, they will never let you into their residence. But as long as you have some bloodline, they are not so hostile."
Ning Qi smiled and said, "Whether immortal or mortal, human nature is the same."
Hai Zu also used his immortal power to withstand the force and returned to Ning Qi's side.
She turned her head to look at Ning Qi's handsome young face, feeling a slight sense of admiration.
Previously, Hai Zu never thought he would dare to confront the Immortal Sect, and even when he saw Shan Zu become an immortal, he had a submissive attitude.
Only Ning Qi dared to challenge everything.
Above.
The solidified immortal gate was the same as the immortal gate that the Holy Ancestor had tested before.
Divine inscriptions are engraved on it, transitioning from earth to jade to bronze in an instant.
The bronze immortal gate stands horizontally in the void, as if turning a page of time.
The Holy Ancestor, sensing the connection between himself and the Immortal Sect, said:
"I felt it scanning me, and at the same time, more power was gathering across space."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bronze immortal gate transformed into a silver immortal gate.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu felt an extremely strong pushing force coming towards them again, and the two had to gather more immortal power to fight against this power that separated immortals and mortals.
"Does the power to separate immortals from mortals become stronger as the level of the immortal sect increases?"
Ning Qi thought to himself.
Not long after, the Silver Immortal Gate reached its zenith, revealing a dazzling golden hue from within.
The silver light seemed to be scorched by the golden light, refining away impurities and leaving only the most immortal color.
The Golden Immortal Gate was born before their very eyes.
Compared to the previous bronze and silver immortal gates, the golden immortal gate is dazzling to the extreme. The divine runes engraved on it float slightly, as if they are the scripture of the Great Dao, which can carry the Dao.
It made a rumbling sound, and golden celestial light shone from it, illuminating the Holy Ancestor in front of the gate.
In an instant, the Holy Ancestor was bathed in golden immortal light, as if he had transformed into a golden figure.
Below, Ning Qi and Hai Zu had just gathered enough immortal power to resist the pressure transmitted from the Silver Immortal Gate.
In an instant, the two felt as if a boulder had struck their chests, and caught off guard, they were both knocked back a hundred steps!
"The Golden Immortal Sect's backlash is so terrifying?"
Ning Qi stopped gathering immortal power and instead waved his hand towards the void.
A jade-green coffin traversed space and appeared before him and the Sea Ancestor; it was the spirit jade coffin containing the immortal body of the Mountain Ancestor.
As soon as the Mountain Ancestor's immortal body appeared, the terrifying force that had been attacking seemed to pause for a moment and bypassed him, even though the immortal body was already a corpse.
This scene made the three of them burst into laughter.
Damn it, the Golden Immortal Sect is practically discriminating against the two of them. Even their Dao Corpse is treated better than them?
As the spirit jade coffin appeared, the full moon immortal body of the mountain ancestor inside seemed to be stimulated by the golden immortal gate in the void, and it actually began to actively release surging immortal power.
The immortal power spread out, forming a full moon that enveloped Ning Qi and his companion.
"This saves us the trouble of gathering our immortal power."
Ning Qi chuckled and decided to make the most of the resources.
He waved to the jade coffin once more.
The immortal coffin instantly flew to their side and lay horizontally in the void.
Ning Qi gestured to Hai Zu to invite him.
"Lord Hai, how about we use this coffin as our seat?"
Hai Zu gave Ning Qi a deep look, seemingly unable to fathom Ning Qi's thought process, and hesitated to sit down.
This was the first time she had ever seen a coffin used as a seat, let alone one containing a true immortal body.
Ning Qi didn't care about such formalities and simply sat down on the coffin.
Seeing this, Hai Zu could not refuse and had no choice but to sit down.
And so, a strange sight appeared in the void.
A golden gate stretched across the sky, as dazzling as the sun.
Before the immortal gate stood an old man, his entire body dyed gold, like a god descending to earth.
Below, a man and a woman sit on a jade coffin.
The jade coffin emitted the appearance of a full moon, and the two people resembled beings from the moon palace.
This scene almost stunned the Holy Ancestor, who was in the process of forming the Immortal Gate, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
He did not forget to continue conveying his feelings to Ning Qi.
"Boy, I've just replenished all the immortal power that the immortal sect lost..."
"Does the Immortal Sect help those who have become immortals replenish their power?"
Ning Qi pondered, and couldn't help but recall the scene when the Mountain Ancestor became an immortal, and it seemed that it was indeed so.
Next, the voice of the Holy Ancestor came from high above.
"I sensed that the immortal sect's testing of me was even more rigorous. The replenished immortal power seemed to be scanning my entire body, penetrating from the surface of my skin into the depths of my bone marrow, and finally reaching into my soul."
Even when the Holy Ancestor spoke, golden immortal light gushed from his mouth.
Now, compared to the Mountain Ancestor who previously condensed the Silver Immortal Gate, his body is filled with vast immortal power. Just by feeling it, one can tell that he is much stronger than the Mountain Ancestor.
Fortunately, Ning Qi and Hai Zu were no longer at their former cultivation levels; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to stay here at all.
Time slowly passed, and the golden immortal gate ultimately did not advance any further. Its golden radiance spread throughout the entire void.
It did not destroy the space Ning Qi had constructed, nor did it exceed the limits of that space.
However, Ning Qi sensed that the Golden Immortal Gate had frozen the entire space.
He tried to compress the void or enlarge the space, but to no avail.
Ning Qi didn't seem to care much, and instead addressed the Holy Ancestor above:
"Holy Lord, it's time to proceed to the next step!"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor did not say anything more.
He slowly stepped towards the gate to immortality.
Before the Golden Immortal Gate, golden immortal steps automatically appeared beneath his feet, as if actively inviting him to approach.
Tap tap tap!
Clear footsteps echoed across the golden celestial steps, reverberating throughout the void.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu sat on the spirit jade coffin. Ning Qi manipulated the spirit jade coffin, trying his best to close the distance between them and the Holy Ancestor.
At this moment, no matter how much immortal power Ning Qi used within the Mountain Ancestor Immortal Body, the Spirit Jade Coffin could only advance to the level before the Immortal Rank.
They were never able to reach the Holy Ancestor, nor the Golden Immortal Gate.
As for the exact distance, Ning Qi estimated that the golden immortal gate condensed by the Holy Ancestor was a hundred feet in size, and the golden immortal light illuminated the entire space.
If it were a cultivator at or below the Dao Integration stage, they would definitely be forced back outside the space.
Ning Qi and his companion remained a hundred feet away, unable to advance any further.
Ning Qi did not act rashly and continued to try to get closer to the enemy.
Now is the crucial moment; what he cares about more is what will happen after the Holy Ancestor opens the gate to immortality.
"I'm about to push open the gates to immortality!"
"Ahead," the Holy Ancestor said slowly.
After he finished speaking, he became full of vigor and vitality, sweeping away his previous refined image. His white hair turned black, and his wrinkled skin instantly regained its vitality and youth.
The Holy Ancestor displayed his youthful Dharma form and walked step by step toward the Golden Immortal Gate.
As he ascended to the final step of the Immortal Realm, the Holy Ancestor's Dharma form became almost on par with the Golden Immortal Sect, resembling a golden giant.
"Open it for me!"
The Holy Ancestor placed his hands on the golden immortal gate, using the completely transformed immortal power within his body as the source to circulate the Three Saints Inscribed Dao Immortal Script Technique.
Creak!
The gates of the Golden Immortal Gate trembled.
The thick, divinely inscribed immortal gates seemed unable to detect any abnormalities in the Holy Ancestor, and unlike the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor who had previously formed their immortal gates, there was no regression.
Therefore, it seems that the Holy Ancestor did not encounter much resistance in promoting the Immortal Sect.
Click click click!
Ning Qi and Hai Zu saw that the originally tightly sealed golden immortal gate was opening from the center, and the two doors were gradually pushed backward.
In the center, a crack in the door widened.
Behind the crack in the door, there was neither darkness nor anything else.
Just like the silver immortal gate that the Mountain Ancestor promoted when he became an immortal, behind the golden immortal gate was also a dazzling immortal light.
Ning Qi watched this scene, pushing his perception to its limit.
"It should be happening soon, right? Is someone manipulating things behind the Immortal Sect?"
The Holy Ancestor continued to push the two gates with his thick arms, and one-tenth of his body had already entered the Immortal Gate.
Gradually, the door opened halfway, engulfing half of the Holy Ancestor's body.
A voice that only the Holy Ancestor could hear suddenly came from within the Immortal Gate, resounding in his mind.
"Who among the mortals has become an immortal? State your name!"
The Holy Ancestor was taken aback.
He didn't answer immediately, but instead turned to look at Ning Qi and Hai Zu.
The two of them were also looking intently at him.
Upon seeing the expressions on their faces, the Holy Ancestor immediately understood that they could not hear what he was hearing.
"Kid, I heard some mysterious voice asking me to state my name."
Upon hearing this, both Ning Qi and Hai Zu were startled.
"Was there really someone behind him?"
Ning Qi gestured to the Holy Ancestor, signaling him to continue.
As the Holy Ancestor turned around, he heard a sound in his mind that almost made him let go of the hand that was pushing the Golden Immortal Gate.
"You mortal, how can you be distracted by such a sacred matter as becoming an immortal? Who are you talking to?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Ancestor's heart nearly leaped out of his throat.
Someone from the Immortal Sect was monitoring his ascension to immortality, and it seemed that they could even sense what he was doing.
This was undoubtedly a matter of doing something that could turn the world upside down. But unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, damn it, the door was forcibly opened, and someone said, "We've been watching you for a long time. Why aren't you paying attention?"
The Holy Ancestor was momentarily at a loss for words.
After thinking for a moment, he surprisingly chose to continue informing Ning Qi instead of answering the questions from the Immortal Sect.
"Kid, the person behind the door seems to be able to sense what I'm doing!"
Ning Qi and Hai Zu were naturally surprised again upon hearing this.
Ning Qi took a deep breath and abruptly stood up.
He looked at Haizu beside him and said, "You stay here, I'll be right back."
Hai Zu sat gracefully on the jade coffin. When she saw Ning Qi get up, she was about to get up as well, but she stopped herself because of Ning Qi's words.
"Lord of the Realm, where are you going?"
Ning Qi pointed ahead and said calmly, "I also want to go and see that immortal sect!"
"What?"
Haizu was completely dumbfounded.
Haven't they already reached the Golden Immortal Gate?
