Chapter 473 The Holy Ancestor Becomes an Immortal
The Immortal Punishment Pavilion in the Great Wilderness Wonderland.
Elder Jiang Shou returned to the Immortal Punishment Pavilion and sat on the main seat in the main hall.
He clapped his hands, and a figure instantly appeared in the otherwise empty hall.
"Has that kid from the Immortal Selection Pavilion who was just detained been sent away?"
A masked True Immortal below said, "Reporting to the Elder, the handover process with the Gan Dao Palace is still underway, but it will be over soon."
Elder Jiang Shou nodded in response, and then said:
"Issue my decree to contact the guardian immortal army outside the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm and send back their spatial coordinates."
"yes!"
The attendant immediately disappeared, ordered to gather intelligence.
In addition to maintaining internal peace, the many palaces and pavilions within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm also have a protective immortal army responsible for external defense.
They are responsible for maintaining the safety of the Great Wilderness Wonderland. They are usually stationed outside the Great Wilderness Wonderland to kill all kinds of evil creatures in the Boundary Sea that intrude into the Great Wilderness Wonderland.
Some are stationed nearby, within a range of about a thousand immortal miles, while others patrol within a range of ten thousand immortal miles from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Of course, this is the permanent celestial army.
Some even more powerful immortals would lead their juniors or disciples to the deeper parts of the Boundary Sea to actively train themselves and slay powerful creatures from the Boundary Sea.
Now that Elder Jiang Shou has determined that a relic of the Golden Immortal Clan has appeared, he has no choice but to send people to search the lower realm as soon as possible.
He had considered taking people there himself, but firstly, there were many things to do in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, and secondly, he was too far away from where Ning Qi and the others were, and it would take a lot of time to travel back and forth.
Therefore, Elder Jiang Shou thought of the Guardian Immortal Army, who were away from home all year round.
If someone happens to be near the Boundary Sea where Ning Qi and the others are, they can arrive as quickly as possible.
Just as he was waiting for this, a loud laugh came from outside into the Immortal Punishment Pavilion.
Is Elder Jiang present?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shou frowned slightly.
He remained seated in the main seat, watching a celestial being fly into the Immortal Punishment Pavilion.
The newcomer was slightly overweight, dressed in fine clothes, with a slightly upturned mustache, and always wore a cheerful expression.
"I can't explain it all. What brings you to my Immortal Punishment Pavilion?"
Dao Bujin was the slightly plump immortal's Dharma name. He stopped in the center of the main hall of the Immortal Punishment Pavilion and said with a smile:
"Elder Jiang, you expelled the people of my Gan Dao Palace from the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. As the acting palace master, I must come and ask for the reason. Otherwise, how can I convince the people?"
Jiang Shou was not too indifferent to this person.
This Dao Bujin is quite an interesting character, even in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Dao Bujin wasn't originally called that. In order to verify the ancient path of cultivation, Dao Bujin did something extremely outrageous.
He voluntarily went down to the mortal realm, saying he wanted to pick up what he had put down, to experience the mortal world and see through everything.
This person sealed away all his power, starting as a mortal and experiencing several mortal lifetimes before finally regaining his power.
After returning to the Great Wilderness Wonderland, whenever someone asked him about this experience, he could talk endlessly about it.
From then on, people called him Dao Bujin (meaning "inexhaustive"), which he gladly accepted.
"This matter concerns the safety of the Immortal Realm. If you do not trust me to enforce the law, then why ask any more questions?"
Upon hearing this, Dao Bujin's face showed surprise and doubt.
"The explosion at the Immortal Selection Pavilion has become known to all the immortals in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. Elder Jiang Shou must give an explanation to all the immortals regarding such a significant matter. If it involves the safety of the Immortal Realm, then I must ask him even more questions."
Jiang Shou sneered, "I'm afraid you really do know, and your immortal heart is now yearning for the mortal world. I understand the situation of your Gan Dao Palace. You finally became the acting palace master, and there are quite a few people watching you."
"Sifan, what do you mean by that?"
Jiang Shouyue didn't explain it clearly, and the more he couldn't explain it, the more curious people became.
After his experiences in the mortal realm, if he hadn't been chosen as the acting palace master by the master of the Gan Dao Palace, he would have wanted to go down to the mortal world a few more times.
Therefore, all the immortals in the Great Wilderness Fairy Realm laughed at him for wanting to be a mortal.
I can't quite understand why Jiang Shou said that.
He came here genuinely wanting to get to the bottom of things. Li Donglin was also a descendant of an immortal in the palace, and as the acting palace master, he had to give an explanation; otherwise, how could he live up to the title of acting palace master?
As for Si Fan, why is he abandoning his proper role as acting palace master and now yearning for worldly desires?
"Hmph, you really want to know?"
Jiang Shou suddenly changed his tune, his immortal eyes fixed on Dao Bujin.
The immortal's heart beats with boundless emotion.
Elder Jiang Shou has always been strict, fair and impartial in enforcing the law, and has shouldered a great responsibility for the stability of the entire Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
I can't fully trust the other party, and I know that if they say this, it must involve something very serious.
However, he was never content with his lot, unlike the other dutiful immortals in the fairy realm.
So, Dao Bujin nodded heavily.
"There are only the two of us here, Elder Jiang Shou, why be so formal?"
Elder Jiang Shou blinked, calculating in his mind.
Although he had made arrangements for this, he could not guarantee whether the Guardian Immortal Army would actually be able to complete the mission.
Therefore, every bit of help we can provide is a contribution.
After all, it concerns the Golden Immortal Clan, which was once the strongest in the Immortal Realm. If the Immortal Ancestor of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm were to emerge from seclusion, he would surely inquire about it carefully.
Therefore, Elder Jiang Shou felt that if he could drag the people from Gan Dao Palace into this mess, even if something unexpected happened, someone would be able to help him share some of the pressure.
Therefore, he said again, "This is something you voluntarily want to know. When the Immortal Ancestor emerges from seclusion, you will also have to bear this cause and effect."
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Dao Bujin couldn't help but scratch his head.
He hates trouble, but there are some kinds of trouble he really wants to get involved in.
Elder Jiang Shou stopped talking and pointed with his finger.
In an instant, a golden triangular rune appeared in the void inside the Immortal Punishment Pavilion.
"Do you recognize this rune?"
The slightly mysterious clan mark was reflected in his pupils, and Dao Bujin, the acting palace master of Gan Dao Palace, narrowed his eyes.
"Could this be..."
"It's good that you recognize it. Do you want to know more?"
I can't quite put my finger on it now, I'm really hesitant.
He paced back and forth inside the Immortal Punishment Pavilion, seemingly becoming quite agitated.
Elder Jiang Shou ignored him and instead picked up the immortal tea on the table next to him and slowly savored it.
Before long, the men he sent to gather intelligence returned.
The man glanced at the hall with an extra person in it, holding a jade slip in his hands, and knelt down to reply, "Elder Jiang, we have gathered the intelligence."
"Let me take a look."
The man used his immortal power to send the jade slip out, delivering it to Elder Jiang Shou.
Elder Jiang Shou took it and immediately released his divine sense to scan the information inside.
The jade slip contained the spatial coordinates of the guardian immortal army that had been stationed outside the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm over the years, and all of them were converted into data streams and entered Elder Jiang Shou's mind.
Soon, Elder Jiang Shou constructed a spatial map of the boundary sea surrounding the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm in his mind and put everyone's spatial coordinates into it.
He then matched the spatial coordinates given to him by Han Song of Xuanxian Pavilion to the location of District 15 in the Far East Boundary Sea.
"The person closest to District 15 of the Far East Boundary Sea is... found!"
Elder Jiang Shou's eyes lit up as he locked onto the person's coordinates.
"Unfortunately, District 15 is too remote. That guy is in District 13. Even if he wanted to get to District 15, it would take him two months."
Now, Elder Jiang Shou was in a dilemma.
After all, if he personally went all out and used the Space Dimension Ship, he could arrive in just one month.
However, he simply couldn't leave the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.
Elder Jiang Shou's gaze involuntarily fell upon Dao Bujin, who was pacing back and forth in the hall.
"It's hard to explain. What's your decision?"
Dao Bujin stopped pacing when the person arrived, stood in a corner of the hall, and his eyes shone brighter than ever before.
"Tell me, it concerns those things. Even if I, as the acting palace master, am not to take on the role, I should still investigate them."
Upon hearing his words, Elder Jiang Shou suddenly wondered if he had made a mistake.
If this guy doesn't return from the mortal realm, will that old Taoist priest from Gan Dao Palace come out of seclusion to challenge him to a duel?
Forget it, he really can't find anyone better to go now. If that old Taoist from Gan Dao Palace has the ability, let him come at him. If Jiang Shou is afraid, he's not Jiang Shou.
Next, Jiang Shou told Dao Bujin everything.
However, just to be absolutely sure, he still planned to contact the guardian immortal army in the thirteenth district of the Far East Boundary Sea as a double insurance.
"I have told you everything I know. It is of great importance, and you should understand its significance. You must never mention it to anyone else."
The words could not be fully expressed, so he immediately wrote talismans in the air.
His immortal power erupted, drawing upon a mysterious force within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, planting a top-secret annihilation curse upon himself.
"Elder Jiang, are you relieved now?"
What else could Jiang Shou say but give him a thumbs up?
“Then go. You have spent a long time in the mortal realm and still retain a bit of humanity within your immortal nature. Perhaps you are the best person to handle this matter.”
Elder Jiang Shou then said something profound.
Dao Bujin was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"I can't express how grateful I am to have met a kindred spirit today!"
...
District 15, Far Eastern Boundary Sea.
The True Martial Spirit Realm is arguably the largest spirit realm in this region.
The integration of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Realm has led to the unprecedented growth of the True Martial Spirit Realm.
It has not yet fully digested the energy of both realms and is still undergoing a slow transformation.
Ning Qi and the other two were still outside the True Martial Spirit Realm, in the small space he had created.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu gazed at the golden celestial light in the distance.
The celestial light intertwined densely, forming an oval sphere, like silkworm silk, completely burying the Holy Ancestor's body within it.
Rather than being a celestial light, it now resembles a celestial cocoon more.
Golden divine runes danced around the immortal cocoon, occasionally flying into it and disappearing.
With each golden divine rune that flew in, the aura within the immortal cocoon grew stronger, while the golden immortal cocoon itself became slightly lighter.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu had been waiting for three whole days.
During these three days, Hai Zu also absorbed the golden immortal light given by Ning Qi.
However, unlike the Holy Ancestor, the Sea Ancestor did not undergo a complete transformation from the inside out; he merely transformed his physical body into a half-immortal form.
Ning Qi was standing nearby, recording and comparing the changes in the two people.
The Sea Ancestor did not form a celestial gate, nor was he recorded in the celestial register, nor did he undergo the test of the upper realm before the celestial gate.
Even though she absorbed the golden immortal light that was stolen from the immortal sect, she still couldn't achieve the same complete transformation as the Holy Ancestor.
Of course, this is also related to the energy of the Boundary Sea within the Sea Ancestor's body.
"It is often said that the Boundary Sea is boundless, and I think the Immortal Gates are also boundless. I did not expect the Immortal Gates set up in the Upper Realm to be so powerful."
Ning Qi chatted with Hai Zu.
As Haizu felt the changes in her body, she accepted Ning Qi's gift and the term "half-immortal body" with equanimity.
"Becoming an immortal is indeed not easy. It seems that one must undergo the trials of those immortal realms before one can be completely transformed into an immortal."
Ning Qi himself also absorbed a lot of immortal light.
"Fortunately, I never wanted to take that path to immortality, otherwise I would have had to undergo the scrutiny of the people in the upper realm."
Hai Zu laughed and asked, "Why don't you want to take that path?"
Ning Qi said calmly, "I'm used to being free. I've always believed that following the paths others have taken, the paths countless people have walked, will probably not make you a true supreme powerhouse!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Zu's beautiful face froze, her icy eyes seemingly solidifying.
“That makes a lot of sense. Looking back on my life, my ability to stand out from the crowd is just like what you said.”
Ning Qi looked at her and said, "Are you willing to deviate from that main path?"
Haizu gently gathered her hair, her icy eyes gazing at the golden cocoon in the distance.
"You've caused such a huge problem that the three of us are probably already on the record of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. Even if I wanted to take that main road, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to."
She paused for a moment, then said, "However, I am indeed willing to try the new path you mentioned."
There are many things that Haizu did not elaborate on.
Having transcended the realm of mountains and seas, observed the boundary sea, witnessed the mountain ancestor ascend to immortality, and received guidance from Ning Qi, her perspective underwent a dramatic transformation.
With the invasion of the Boundary Sea and the collapse of the Immortal Realm, if they were to follow the path to immortality established by the Immortal Realm in the past, could they truly achieve eternal immortality?
After the two talked for a while, suddenly, the golden cocoon in the distance completely dimmed.
Click!
Click!
A series of faint tearing sounds came from afar.
Inside the golden cocoon, a figure emerged.
Its shadow was tall and imposing, like that of a god.
The next second, the entire space was bathed in golden light, as if the sun were rising from the east.
Ning Qi and Hai Zu clearly sensed that the energy of the boundary sea outside this small space was forced back three hundred feet!
Finally, the Holy Ancestor emerged from the cocoon, and the cocoon silk clung to his body, transforming into a golden immortal robe.
The Holy Ancestor's spirit and energy were completely different; he was no longer the old, pedantic scholar he once was.
He was young and robust; if it weren't for the golden immortal robes that concealed his towering figure, he would have lost even the last trace of a scholar's demeanor.
His body was radiating golden immortal light. If the Mountain Ancestor was previously a full moon immortal body, then the Holy Ancestor was now a rising sun body.
Legend has it that the reason why the celestial realm created the gates of gold and silver was also to secretly praise certain celestial races in the celestial realm.
Gold represents the Golden Immortal Clan, but as time goes by, many people have forgotten this fact.
Of course, the Holy Ancestor's Sunrise Body is far inferior to that of the legendary Golden Immortal Clan, but it is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary immortals and the previous Mountain Ancestor.
The Holy Ancestor looked at himself and murmured:
"I love calligraphy and painting; how could I wear such splendid clothes?"
Hai Zu and Ning Qi flew closer to him, and Hai Zu rolled his eyes at the Holy Ancestor.
"You pedantic scholar, are you trying to play the innocent after getting the benefit in front of us?"
The Holy Ancestor was embarrassed, but he still transformed himself and concealed the golden immortal light.
He even used his immortal power to change the golden immortal robes he wore, completely transforming them back to their original simple state.
"This outfit suits my temperament best!"
"Old man, old man, anyone who hears your youthful voice will scold you for taking advantage of your age."
Ning Qi also complained.
