Chapter 1074 - 467: The Voice Behind the Immortal Door_2

Compared to the earlier bronze and silver Immortal Doors, the golden Immortal Door was dazzling to the extreme. The inscribed divine texts on it gently floated upon the door, as if they were celestial writings, capable of carrying the Dao.

It emitted a thunderous rumble, and from it emerged a golden immortal radiance that shone upon the Saint Ancestor standing before the door.

In an instant, the Saint Ancestor was bathed in the golden immortal radiance, as if he transformed into a golden silhouette.

Meanwhile, below, Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor had just gathered enough immortal power to resist the pressure transmitted from the silver Immortal Door.

In a split second, they felt as if a massive stone had struck their chests, catching them off guard, and both were knocked back a hundred steps!

”Is the rebound of the golden Immortal Door truly that terrifying?”

Ning Qi no longer gathered immortal power; instead, he waved his hand toward the void.

A jade-green coffin traversed through space and appeared before him and the Sea Ancestor. It was none other than the Spirit Jade Coffin containing the Mountain Ancestor’s immortal body.

As soon as the Mountain Ancestor’s immortal body appeared, the terrifying force that had assaulted them momentarily paused, circumventing his body, even though the immortal body was merely a corpse.

This scene made the three of them involuntarily chuckle.

Damn it, is the golden Immortal Door actually discriminating against the two of us, giving even a corpse better treatment?

With the appearance of the Spirit Jade Coffin, the Full Moon Immortal Body within the Mountain Ancestor seemed stimulated by the golden Immortal Door above and unexpectedly began to emit a surging immortal power.

The immortal power dispersed, forming a Full Moon Aspect that enveloped Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor.

”This saves us the effort of gathering immortal power ourselves.”

Ning Qi chuckled and decided to make full use of the situation.

He gestured toward the Spirit Jade Coffin once again.

The immortal coffin flew instantly to their side, lying across the void.

Ning Qi made a gesture of invitation to the Sea Ancestor.

”Sea Venerable, how about using this coffin as a seat?”

The Sea Ancestor gazed deeply at Ning Qi, seemingly unable to fathom Ning Qi’s mind, and was reluctant to sit upon it.

It was the first time she had ever seen someone use a coffin as a seat, especially when it contained a genuine immortal body.

Ning Qi, however, was less particular, and he sat down on the coffin without hesitation.

The Sea Ancestor, seeing this, could not refuse and had no choice but to sit down.

Thus, a peculiar scene appeared in the void.

A golden Immortal Door spanned across the sky, as dazzling as the sun.

In front of the Immortal Door stood an elder, his entire body drenched in gold, akin to a heavenly god descending to the world.

Below, a man and a woman sat atop a Spirit Jade Coffin.

The Spirit Jade Coffin emitted a Full Moon Aspect, making the two of them appear like residents of the Moon Palace.

This scene nearly left the Saint Ancestor, who was in the midst of consolidating the Immortal Door, dumbfounded. It took him a moment to regain his senses.

He did not forget to continue conveying his feelings to Ning Qi.

”Boy, I’ve just replenished all the immortal power I lost while consolidating the Immortal Door...”

”Does the Immortal Door actually help replenish the power of those ascending to immortality?”

Ning Qi pondered and couldn’t help but recall the scene when the Mountain Ancestor became an immortal. It seemed to be the case indeed.

Then, from high above, the voice of the Saint Ancestor was heard again.

”I sense that the Immortal Door’s examination of me is more severe. The replenished immortal power seems to be scanning my entire body, permeating through the outer skin, deep into the bone marrow, and finally into my soul.”

Even when the Saint Ancestor spoke, golden immortal radiance spouted from his mouth.

Now, compared to when the Mountain Ancestor consolidated the silver Immortal Door, the Saint Ancestor’s immortal power within was vast. Just by feeling, one could tell he was much stronger than the Mountain Ancestor.

Fortunately, Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor were no longer at their previous cultivation levels, otherwise, they would not have been able to remain here.

As time passed, the golden Immortal Door ultimately did not continue to advance, and its golden light flowed, spreading throughout the entire void.

It did not destroy the space Ning Qi constructed, nor did it exceed the boundaries of the space.

However, Ning Qi sensed that the golden Immortal Door had stabilized the entire space.

He tried to compress the void or expand the space, but neither was achievable.

Ning Qi wasn’t overly concerned; instead, he addressed the Saint Ancestor above:

”Saint Venerable, it’s time to proceed to the next step!”

Upon hearing this, the Saint Ancestor uttered no more words.

He slowly walked toward the Immortal Door.

Before the golden Immortal Door, golden immortal stairs spontaneously appeared beneath his feet as if actively guiding him closer.

Tap, tap, tap!

The clear sound of footsteps echoed across the golden immortal stairs, resonating throughout the void.

Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor sat on the Spirit Jade Coffin, with Ning Qi controlling the coffin, attempting to draw them closer to the Saint Ancestor.

Yet at this moment, no matter how Ning Qi utilized the immortal power within the Mountain Ancestor’s body, the Spirit Jade Coffin could only approach the stairs.

They could never reach the Saint Ancestor or the golden Immortal Door.

As for the specific distance, Ning Qi estimated that the golden Immortal Door the Saint Ancestor had consolidated was about a hundred feet wide, with the golden immortal radiance illuminating the entire space.

If it were a cultivator in the Harmonization phase or below, they would absolutely be forced out of the space.

Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor were also halted a hundred feet away, unable to advance further.

Ning Qi refrained from acting rashly, continuing to find a way to get closer.

At this crucial moment, what concerned him more was what would happen once the Saint Ancestor knocked on the Immortal Door.

”I’m about to push open the Immortal Door!”

In front, the Saint Ancestor slowly declared.

Having spoken, his entire presence exuded strength, sweeping away his earlier gentle image as his white hair turned black, and his wrinkled skin regained vitality and youthfulness.

The Saint Ancestor displayed his youthful Dharma Aspect and took one step closer to the golden Immortal Door.

Upon taking the last step on the Immortal Stairs, the Saint Ancestor’s Dharma Aspect almost aligned with the golden Immortal Door, like a golden giant.

”Open for me!”

The Saint Ancestor placed both hands on the golden Immortal Door, using the fully transformed immortal power within him, and performed the Three Saints Inscription Dao Immortal Text Technique.

Clunk!

The golden Immortal Door shook.

The heavily inscribed divine-texted Immortal Door seemed unable to detect any anomalies with the Saint Ancestor, unlike when the Mountain Ancestor and Sea Ancestor consolidated the Immortal Door with a retreating phenomenon.

Because of this, the Saint Ancestor’s push encountered little resistance.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!

Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor saw that the originally seamless golden Immortal Door was opening from the center, and the two door panels were gradually pushed back.

In the center, the door gap widened.

Beyond the gap, there was neither darkness nor anything else visible.

Like the silver Immortal Door the Mountain Ancestor pushed open, behind the golden Immortal Door, there was likewise a brilliant immortal radiance.

Watching this scene, Ning Qi pushed his perceptive power to the utmost.

”Should it appear now, are there truly people controlling behind the Immortal Door?”

The Saint Ancestor continued to push the double doors with his broad arms, with a tenth of his body already inside the Immortal Door.

Gradually, half of the doors opened, engulfing half of the Saint Ancestor’s body.

A voice that only the Saint Ancestor could hear suddenly sounded from within the Immortal Door, echoing in his mind.

”Who from the lower realm is ascending to immortality? State your name!”

The Saint Ancestor was taken aback.

He did not immediately respond but instead turned to look at Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor.

Both of them were attentively watching him.

Seeing their expressions, the Saint Ancestor instantly understood that they couldn’t hear the voice he was hearing.

”Boy, I heard a mysterious voice asking for my name.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor were both startled.

”Is there indeed someone behind?”

Ning Qi gestured to the Saint Ancestor, signaling him to continue.

The Saint Ancestor turned back, but in his mind, he heard a voice that almost made him release his hold on the golden Immortal Door.

”Person from the lower realm, during such a sacred event of ascending to immortality, you’re distracted, with whom are you communicating?”

This statement nearly made the Saint Ancestor’s heart leap out of his throat.

Someone behind the Immortal Door was monitoring his ascension to immortality, and they seemed capable of sensing his actions.

This was undoubtedly turning the tides, and unexpectedly, at the critical moment, damn it, the door was forcibly opened, saying they’ve been watching for a long time, why are you not focused enough?

The Saint Ancestor was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

After thinking it over, he surprisingly chose to inform Ning Qi first, rather than answer the question from within the Immortal Door.

”Boy, it seems the people behind the door can sense what I’m doing!”

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi and the Sea Ancestor were naturally startled again.

Ning Qi took a deep breath and stood up abruptly.

He looked at the Sea Ancestor beside him, ”You stay here; I’ll be back shortly.”

The Sea Ancestor, sitting gracefully on the Spirit Jade Coffin, saw Ning Qi rise and initially intended to stand as well, but was halted by his words.

”Realm Venerable, where are you going?”

Ning Qi pointed ahead and said calmly, ”I’m going to take a look at the Immortal Door too!”

”What?”

The Sea Ancestor was taken aback.

Weren’t they unable to approach the golden Immortal Door any further?
