The Silver Immortal Gate is located in the boundary sea, separating immortals and mortals. Those who are not immortals cannot cross it.
Silver light hung from it, illuminating the mountain ancestor in front of the door.
The body of the Mountain Ancestor was wrapped in the shadow of Mount Buzhou, and a "mountain"-shaped seal condensed on his forehead, shot out in the opposite direction, and landed on the lintel of the Silver Immortal Gate.
“It’s not enough!”
Shanzu shouted coldly.
His own aura completely merged with the aura of Mount Buzhou. It seemed that at this moment, the Mountain Ancestor represented the legendary Mount Buzhou.
The mountain-shaped mark shone brightly, turning into a symbol and branding it into the Silver Immortal Gate.
The next second, the symbol was like a pass key, and the entire Silver Immortal Gate absorbed it completely.
Rumble!
The Silver Immortal Gate was shaking violently, and the door was creaking.
The silver light that was shed gradually became tinged with a hint of light gold.
Ning Qi and the other two held their breath as they watched the immortal light of the immortal gate change.
A smile finally appeared on Shanzu's cold face.
"Just transform it into a golden immortal gate for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the immortal light emitted by the silver immortal gate was completely replaced by a light golden color, and the entire immortal gate expanded again, reaching a height of ten feet!
And the light golden color also began to spread and spread towards the silver fairy gate.
Sizzle!
The Silver Immortal Gate seemed to be enveloped by a light golden light emitted from the gate, and the whole gate was undergoing a terrible transformation.
Ning Qi had an illusion.
I always feel that this immortal gate is like a magic weapon, and the immortal light is the Tao fire, which is tempering the immortal gate.
Gradually, the appearance of the Silver Immortal Gate became the same as the previous Bronze Immortal Gate. The silver melted and fell off, refining all the impurities, and finally leaving pure gold.
The entire immortal gate was filled with an extremely sacred golden color, shining on the Dharma body of the mountain ancestor in front of the gate.
Shan Zu looked at the vast golden immortal gate and murmured:
"This is only fitting for the status of a descendant of Mount Buzhou. The immortal gate opens wide, welcoming us with golden light, which means that the immortal has the qualifications to achieve the immortal golden immortal."
Shanzu seemed to be finally satisfied with the immortal gate before him.
When these words fell into the ears of Ning Qi and the other two, they instantly understood the level of the Gate of Immortality.
From the previous bronze to the current gold, it seems to correspond to the future qualifications of the immortal monks.
The further back you go, the greater its potential.
Obviously, as Shanzu said, he has the qualifications to become an immortal golden immortal.
However, regarding the Immortal Golden Immortal, Ning Qi and the other two still didn't quite understand what it meant.
Their inheritance did not touch upon the realm after becoming an immortal. Only the Mountain Ancestor, relying on the inheritance of Mount Buzhou, seemed to have a deep understanding of the situation after becoming an immortal.
Ning Qi and the other two couldn't help but feel a tremor in their throats as the Mountain Ancestor's image began to walk towards the Golden Immortal Gate.
The Mountain Ancestor Dharma Image strides across the sea of boundaries and walks towards the golden gate.
Wow!
The huge feet are like oars, stirring up the waves of the sea.
Behind him, the energy waves of the sea of boundary were retreating step by step like the tide at this moment, leaving his body.
The golden light hanging from the Golden Immortal Gate completely enveloped the huge image of the Mountain Ancestor.
The Holy Ancestor suddenly spoke:
"One of the signs of becoming an immortal is escaping the sea of suffering."
"Um?"
Ning Qi was slightly stunned. It was the first time he heard such a statement.
As for Hai Zu, his expression became quite confused.
She asked, "You said that leaving the sea of boundaries is one of the signs of becoming an immortal?"
The Holy Ancestor frowned and said uncertainly:
"The inheritance I received from the ancient sage mentioned a sentence, the sea of boundaries is boundless, and one can become an immortal by crossing the gate."
"It is said that the Boundary Sea is the dirtiest place in the entire world. Therefore, our worlds will all form boundary walls to automatically resist the invasion of the Boundary Sea. We will even exile some monks who have committed heinous crimes and drive them from our world to the outside of the Boundary Sea."
"The boundless sea is vast. Even we don't know how vast it is. There are too many evil things hidden within it."
Ning Qi became even more confused after hearing this.
He asked, "But wasn't our world born from the Boundary Sea? If the Boundary Sea is dirty, then our world, born from the Boundary Sea, shouldn't be able to escape its filthiness."
The Holy Ancestor shook his head.
"I don't know exactly what's going on. I got all the information from the ancient sages. But this can be explained in one sentence..."
"What?" Ning Qi and Hai Zu asked at the same time.
The Saint Ancestor spoke slowly, "A lotus grows out of the mud, yet remains unstained. The Boundary Sea is the mud. We are still bogging down in this boundless mud. Only by becoming an immortal can we escape!"
Hearing this, Ning Qi and Hai Zu were shocked.
They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Because the two of them may have different cultivation levels, but they have one thing in common, which is that they have integrated the energy of the sea of boundaries into their own bodies.
If what the Holy Ancestor said is true, becoming an immortal means walking out of the Sea of Boundaries and transcending the Sea of Boundaries, then wouldn't they be unable to become immortals?
At least the boundary sea energy in the body must be completely deprived!
Hai Zu's icy eyes flickered, and doubts arose in her heart. Didn't she take the wrong path from the beginning?
In order to defeat the Mountain Ancestor, she took the risk of absorbing the power of the Sea of Boundary, and even developed a terrible ambition.
She regarded the boundary sea as a sea as well, and let her, the ancestor of the sea, control it.
Ning Qi also scratched his head, feeling that something was not right.
He noticed the strange look on Hai Zu's beautiful face and advised, "Perhaps this is just one of the paths to immortality. Hai Zu, don't worry too much."
The Holy Ancestor now realized the impact of his words on the two of them.
He quickly explained, "Perhaps that was the path taken by the ancient saints. Countless billions of years have passed, so this statement may not still hold true."
Only then did Hai Zu regain his composure.
Compared to the others, it was particularly difficult for her to maintain a stable state of mind and she could easily fall into a state of madness.
This was also the aftereffect of her forcibly integrating into the energy of the sea of boundaries.
The three looked at Shanzu again.
The Mountain Ancestor's Dharma Image walked closer and closer to the Golden Immortal Gate. As it got closer and closer to the Golden Immortal Gate, it suddenly changed.
In front of the Golden Immortal Gate, golden steps automatically emerged and extended to the feet of the Mountain Ancestor.
Shanzu has already stepped onto the first golden step.
Wow!
What is even more unexpected is that since the appearance of the golden steps, the energy of the boundary sea can no longer get close to the Golden Immortal Gate, and has retreated further away from the Golden Immortal Gate and the Mountain Ancestor.
The energy of the sea of boundaries within a ten-foot radius around the entire Golden Immortal Gate was completely driven away.
Seeing this scene, the thoughts that had just changed in Ning Qi and Hai Zu's minds seemed to return to their hearts in an instant.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that what the Holy Ancestor just said is true!
Trample!
Shanzu climbed the golden stairs step by step and finally arrived in front of the Golden Immortal Gate.
The pale golden immortal light has completely covered him, making him look even more extraordinary.
The two giant palms of the Mountain Ancestor have touched the door of the Immortal Gate.
At this moment, his expression was extremely solemn.
Shanzu seemed worried. He first glanced at Ning Qi and the other two out of the corner of his eye, and then saw that they were still watching his immortality, so he withdrew his gaze.
He turned his head and looked at the land behind him, watching the waves of the sea retreating and revealing a calm lake.
Shan Zu turned around and shouted angrily, "Open it for me!"
His arms suddenly exerted force, his muscles became knotted, and golden light shone around him, making him look like a golden giant.
Click!
The golden immortal gate made a creaking sound and began to slowly open towards both sides along the golden door pillars, and the gap on the door became larger and larger!
As a result, more golden immortal light spewed out from the immortal gate and fell on the Mountain Ancestor.
The immortal aura on Shanzu's body almost condensed into substance. His whole body was trembling slightly, and every cell seemed to be trying its best to absorb the golden immortal light and the immortal aura.
Ning Qi and the other two looked at the golden immortal gate that was slowly pushed open, and looked inside through the door.
However, the three people's vision or perception could not penetrate the golden fairy gate, and they could not see what was behind it.
Before their eyes, there was only a dazzling golden color, like sunshine.
Click!
Shanzu had already pushed the Golden Immortal Gate halfway open. It could be said that if he turned sideways, he could squeeze in.
Of course, if he could shrink his image a little, he could also break in directly.
However, Shanzu did not choose to do so. He grabbed the golden steps below with his toes and used all his strength to push the Immortal Gate, trying to push it open completely.
Click, click, click!
Just when Shanzu had pushed away two-thirds of the way, something strange happened suddenly.
I saw a large amount of black mist coming out of the body of the Mountain Ancestor!
"cough!"
Shanzu couldn't help coughing, and a large amount of black mist came out.
"Is this...transforming from a mortal to an immortal?"
Shanzu exerted more force in his hands and continued to push the Immortal Gate.
His coughs became more and more frequent, and every time he coughed, a large amount of black air would be emitted, which was washed away by the golden light around him.
Ning Qi and the other two stared at his back with great concentration.
At first, they saw black mist spewing out of the Mountain Ancestor's mouth in the golden light. Gradually, large amounts of black mist began to emerge from all seven orifices of the Mountain Ancestor.
Even later on, all the pores of Shanzu's body were emitting black mist, which even the golden light could not wash away.
Inside the golden light that enveloped the Mountain Ancestor, a circle of black halo had already appeared, covering the Mountain Ancestor.
Snap!
At this moment, the golden fairy gate pushed by the Mountain Ancestor mysteriously closed back a small part.
"What's going on?"
Shanzu's body was pushed back a few inches by the Immortal Gate's return gate, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Open it for me!"
He roared again, and all his magic power slammed into the golden immortal gate.
The Golden Immortal Gate was under pressure and could not help but open further back.
Just when Shanzu thought it was an accident, the entire Golden Immortal Gate rebounded with even greater force.
Crunch!
This time, Shanzu was pushed back even further, and his feet left two obvious marks on the golden steps.
"What's going on? Why are you stopping me from entering the Immortal Gate?"
Shanzu finally managed to steady himself, but his expression could no longer remain calm, instead filled with confusion.
In the distance, Ning Qi and the other two who were watching did the same.
Ning Qi couldn't help but think again of what the Holy Ancestor had just said.
Ning Qi felt that the black mist ring that appeared in the golden fairy light surrounding the Mountain Ancestor was the boundary sea energy hidden in the Mountain Ancestor's body.
Obviously, the immortal light in the Golden Immortal Gate has been driving away the boundary sea energy in the Mountain Ancestor's body, but for some reason, the boundary sea energy in the Mountain Ancestor's body is increasing.
Logically speaking, Shanzu had almost always stayed in the Mountain and Sea Realm before. Even if he had been to the Haoran Realm, he should not have been exposed to much energy from the Realm and Sea.
Therefore, there shouldn't be so much boundary sea energy in the body of the Mountain Ancestor.
"wrong……"
Ning Qi suddenly thought of the remains of Mount Buzhou that had flown in from the Sea of Boundary. That was something summoned by the Mountain Ancestor, and he suddenly understood a lot.
There may not be much boundary sea energy in the body of Shanzu, but Shanzu swallowed the remains of Buzhou Mountain into his body.
There is no life or any living creature on the remains of Mount Buzhou.
It was obviously left in a hidden area somewhere in the Boundary Sea and had just been summoned by the Mountain Ancestor.
Having been left in the boundary sea for so long, countless billions of years, and having been attacked for so long, how could the remains of Mount Buzhou not be contaminated by the energy of the boundary sea?
It is precisely because of this that there is so much boundary sea energy in the body of the Mountain Ancestor!
What Ning Qi thought of was also thought of by the Holy Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor. As an eyewitness, the Mountain Ancestor naturally realized it as well.
"Mount Buzhou is the path to immortality. Why are you blocking its entry?"
The palms of Shanzu's hands were still pushing the Golden Immortal Gate, but the fingers of one of his hands were knocking on the Golden Immortal Gate.
However, this time, Shanzu found that he used more force, but it did not push the Golden Immortal Gate further open like before. Instead, more force returned to it, closing the Golden Immortal Gate.
"No!"
Shanzu panicked. He was about to push open the Golden Immortal Gate completely, but now the gate was closing, trying to keep him out!
"Who allowed you to reject the descendants of Mount Buzhou?"
Shanzu was a little hysterical and could hardly believe what he saw.
The next second, he turned sideways and tried to enter the golden fairy gate.
However, the Golden Immortal Gate did not give him any chance to find any loopholes. The entire Golden Immortal Gate began to shrink, making it impossible for the Mountain Ancestor's body to enter.
"No, how could this happen?"
Shanzu reacted quickly and immediately chose to shrink his body, but the Golden Immortal Gate also shrank.
Click!
Not only that, even the Golden Immortal Gate was reclaiming the golden stairs that had appeared before, as if it wanted to drive the Mountain Ancestor down the stairs.
The Mountain Ancestor was horrified upon seeing this, and no longer dared to shrink his body or to sneak sideways into the Immortal Gate.
His two feet were like squatting in a horse stance, with the golden fairy gate on his chest, and he used his back to support one door, while pushing the other door with one hand.
The remaining hand banged on the Golden Immortal Gate, and the Mountain Ancestor roared:
"Have you forgotten the agreement of Xianfandu?"
More black mist emerged from his body, almost half and half of the golden fairy light that enveloped his body, and it was still increasing.
A mountain-shaped mark reappeared on the Mountain Ancestor's forehead, shining towards the Golden Immortal Gate.
A mountain-shaped mark was imprinted on the Golden Immortal Gate, but the Golden Immortal Gate was different from before, making a clanging sound.
However, the two sides are temporarily in a stalemate, and the Golden Immortal Gate seems to have slowed down its closing trend.
And even if Shanzu tried to push it further, it was of no use!
The mountain-shaped mark was imprinted on the lintel of the Golden Immortal Gate, and it also turned into a ball of black mist. The black mist then merged into the Golden Immortal Gate, instantly activating the extremely complex immortal patterns on the Golden Immortal Gate.
The two seemed to be communicating and comparing their previous agreement.
Then, the golden light emitted by the Golden Immortal Gate began to fade, from golden to pale, and actually began to retreat back to a silver color. (End of this chapter)
