Chapter 1016 - 439: Golden Immortal Sect

The Silver Immortal Sect is situated in the Sea of Realms, separating the Immortal from the Mortal; those who have not achieved immortality cannot cross it.

Silver radiance hangs down from it, illuminating the Mountain Ancestor in front of the gate.

The Mountain Ancestor is enveloped by the phantom of Buzhou Mountain, and a ”mountain” shaped Dharma Seal forms on his forehead, projecting outward to fall upon the lintel of the Silver Immortal Sect.

”Still not enough!”

The Mountain Ancestor called out coldly.

His own aura completely merged with that of Buzhou Mountain, as if at this moment, the Mountain Ancestor was representing the legendary Buzhou Mountain.

The mountain-shaped mark shone brightly, transforming into a symbol, and branded itself upon the Silver Immortal Sect.

The next second, the symbol seemed like a passkey, completely absorbed by the Silver Immortal Sect.

Rumble!

The Silver Immortal Sect shook violently, the door creaked.

Among the silver radiance it emitted, gradually there appeared a faint golden color.

Ning Qi and the other two watched as the immortal radiance of the gate transformed, holding their breath.

Finally, a trace of a smile appeared on the impassive face of the Mountain Ancestor.

”Just like this, transform into the Golden Immortal Sect for me!”

As the words fell, the immortal radiance emitted by the Silver Immortal Sect was completely replaced by the faint golden color, and the entire gate swelled to reach a height of ten zhang!

And that faint golden color began to spread, gilding the Silver Immortal Sect.

Sizzle!

The Silver Immortal Sect seemed enveloped by a faint golden color spewed from the inside of the door, undergoing a terrifying transformation.

Ning Qi felt an illusion.

It always seemed like this Immortal Sect was akin to a Magical Artifact, with the immortal radiance being the Dao Flame, refining the Immortal Sect.

Gradually, the exterior of the Silver Immortal Sect also, like the previous Bronze Immortal Sect, melted the silver away, refining the impurities, and ultimately leaving behind pure gold.

The whole Immortal Sect was suffused with a sacred golden color, illuminating the Dharma Body of the Mountain Ancestor in front of the gate.

The Mountain Ancestor looked at the majestic Golden Immortal Sect, murmuring:

”Only this can match the identity of a descendant of Buzhou Mountain, with the gate of the Immortal Path open, welcoming with golden radiance, it means that the person achieving immortality is qualified enough to achieve the status of an Immortal Golden Immortal.”

The Mountain Ancestor seemed finally satisfied with the Immortal Sect before him.

And as these words reached the ears of Ning Qi and the other two, they immediately understood the levels of the Immortal Gate.

From the previous Bronze to the present Gold, it seems to correspond to the future qualifications of the Immortal Cultivator.

The further, the greater the potential.

Obviously, as the Mountain Ancestor said, he is qualified to achieve the status of an Immortal Golden Immortal.

However, Ning Qi and the other two were still not very clear about what an Immortal Golden Immortal represents.

Their inheritance did not touch upon the realms after achieving immortality, only the Mountain Ancestor seemed to have a deep understanding of the situation after achieving immortality, relying on the legacy of Buzhou Mountain.

Ning Qi and the other two couldn’t help but gulp, as the Dharma Aspect of the Mountain Ancestor began to move towards the Golden Immortal Sect.

In the Sea of Realms, the Dharma Aspect of the Mountain Ancestor advanced, striding towards the Golden Gate.

Splash!

Huge feet like oars, paddling the waves of the Sea of Realms.

Behind him, the energy waves of the Sea of Realms, at this moment, receding step by step, parting from his body like a retreating tide.

And the golden light hanging from the interior of the Golden Immortal Sect completely enveloped the enormous Dharma Aspect of the Mountain Ancestor.

The Saint Ancestor suddenly spoke:

”One of the signs of achieving immortality is to leave the sea of hardship.”

”Hmm?”

Ning Qi was slightly stunned; this was the first time he had heard of such a saying.

As for the Sea Ancestor, her expression turned quite bewildered.

She asked, ”You say leaving the Sea of Realms is one of the signs of achieving immortality?”

The Saint Ancestor furrowed his brows, also uncertain:

”In the legacy I obtained from the Ancient Saint, it mentions a phrase: the Sea of Realms is boundless, cross the gate to become immortal.”

”It is said that the Sea of Realms is the dirtiest place in the entire world, so all our worlds form Boundary Walls to automatically resist the invasion of the Sea of Realms. They even exile some extremely wicked cultivators, driving them out of our world and into the Sea of Realms.”

”The Sea of Realms is vast; even we do not know how broad it is, hiding too many evil things within it.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi was even more confused.

He asked, ”But was our world not born from the Sea of Realms? If the Sea of Realms is dirty, our world was born from it, so it should be inescapably dirty as well.”

The Saint Ancestor shook his head.

”What’s really going on, I don’t know; I only obtained this information from the Ancient Saint. However, this can be explained with one phrase...”

”What phrase?” Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor asked simultaneously.

The Saint Ancestor slowly spoke, ”A lotus out of mud not stained, the Sea of Realms is the mud; we still float in this boundless mud, only by achieving immortality can we escape it!”

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor were greatly shaken.

They exchanged a glance, each seeing the astonishment in the other’s eyes.

Because although their cultivation was different, they had one thing in common: they had integrated the energy of the Sea of Realms into their own bodies.

If what the Saint Ancestor said was true, that achieving immortality is to leave the Sea of Realms, transcend the Sea of Realms, then wouldn’t they be unable to achieve immortality?

At the very least, they would have to completely strip away the energy of the Sea of Realms within themselves!

The Sea Ancestor’s icy eyes flickered uncertainly, doubt rising in her heart; hadn’t she taken the wrong path from the beginning?

To defeat the Mountain Ancestor, she risked absorbing the power of the Sea of Realms, even harboring a terrifying ambition.

She regarded the Sea of Realms as a sea controlled by her, the Sea Ancestor.

Ning Qi also scratched his head, always feeling something seemed off.

Seeing the unusual color on the Sea Ancestor’s stunning face, he advised, ”Perhaps this is but one path to immortality, Sea Ancestor need not worry too much.”

The Saint Ancestor, at this moment, realized the impact of his words on the two of them.

He hurriedly explained, ”Perhaps that was the path taken by the Ancient Saints; now, who knows how many billions of years have passed, and these words may no longer hold true.”
