Chapter 1078: Chapter 469: Wrecking the Immortal Selection Pavilion (2)
...
Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor stood before the Golden Immortal Sect.
The doors of the Golden Immortal Sect retreated slightly, intentionally left ajar by the Saint Ancestor.
From the moment the true Immortal Door was condensed, the Saint Ancestor had genuinely admired Ning Qi from the bottom of his heart.
There was truly someone behind the Immortal Door!
And for those of them from the Lower Realm who wished to become Immortals and gain enlightenment, they had to be scrutinized by those from the Upper Realm and informed of the location of the Immortal Realm.
Only when they traveled to the Immortal Realm spoken of by these beings could they truly become Immortals.
Clearly, the Saint Ancestor’s beautiful visions of becoming immortal had been shattered.
If they had to be scrutinized by others as well, was becoming immortal really that enticing?
After all, they, the people of the Lower Realm, originally thought that becoming immortal was about transcending the world, wandering freely in the Sea of Realms, with endless longevity, no longer bound by anything.
But now, the voice behind the Immortal Door shattered the Saint Ancestor’s beautiful fantasy of becoming immortal.
My fate is determined by me, not the heavens, yet even becoming immortal cannot achieve that.
The Saint Ancestor looked at Ning Qi with eyes full of inquiry, wanting to know what Ning Qi planned to do.
Should he continue to push the Immortal Door, or simply withdraw?
Ning Qi remained incredibly calm.
To this, there was only one word of response: "Push!"
"Are you serious?" The Saint Ancestor’s pupils trembled.
"Fulfill their wishes, and only then can we obtain the location of the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. Besides, I also want to see, after fully opening the Immortal Door, whether they can see me standing in front of the door, and if they can see me, what their reaction would be?"
Ning Qi touched the Golden Immortal Sect with his right hand, the Divine Texts fluctuating.
This power of the Golden Immortal Power was stronger than the Silver Immortal Power within the Mountain Ancestor.
If the Saint Ancestor were baptized by this, he would immediately become stronger than the Mountain Ancestor before.
However, compared to the power emitted by the golden key in Ning Qi’s hand, Ning Qi still felt it was inferior.
Thus, Ning Qi’s goal had now changed.
Before, Ning Qi wanted to find out whether there were people behind the Immortal Door, whether they were controlled by someone. Now, these two questions already had answers.
Now, he was more eager to know what the golden key in his hand truly was, and whether it could influence the Immortal Door.
The Saint Ancestor swallowed a mouthful of saliva secretly.
He obeyed Ning Qi’s words, moving his feet, hands gripping the Golden Immortal Sect with all his strength.
Creak!
The door boomed open and was completely pushed to its end.
The next second, the Golden Immortal Sect melted like flowing water, and the Divine Texts engraved on it burst forth, enveloping the Saint Ancestor entirely.
Of course, Ning Qi, who was beside him, also received the baptism of the immortal power.
The two were utterly submerged in the golden Immortal Radiance, becoming the only light in this space.
Looking from a distance in the Sea of Realms, the special space created by Ning Qi for the Saint Ancestor to condense the Immortal Door was like a sun in the Sea of Realms.
Dazzling and unbearable to the eye!
The Saint Ancestor’s aura surged rapidly. He felt every part of his body was being washed by endless immortality, beginning to transform into an immortal body.
He glanced again at Ning Qi beside him, his eyes instinctively widening.
While the golden Immortal Radiance also enveloped Ning Qi, it did not baptize his body, but rather condensed, drilling into Ning Qi’s left hand.
It was as if there was a bottomless black hole in Ning Qi’s left hand, devouring this golden Immortal Radiance.
The Saint Ancestor had been curious before, about how Ning Qi had rushed to the Immortal Door, and now he finally had a clue.
It seemed Ning Qi held a mysterious object in his left hand.
Ning Qi originally intended to feel the impact and baptism of the immortal power on his body, wanting to know what traditional immortal ascension was about; this could provide a real experience for his own new immortal system.
But as he watched the golden key in his left hand continually devour the golden Immortal Radiance, Ning Qi was both amused and exasperated.
"What is going on? Weren’t you just emitting a more intense golden Immortal Radiance? Why are you now seizing the power of the Immortal Door?"
Ning Qi raised his left hand high, no longer hiding it from the Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor.
Opening his left hand, an ancient-looking golden key floated above his palm.
"A key?"
The Saint Ancestor and the Sea Ancestor were both taken aback.
In an instant, the golden key trembled slightly in the void, exploding with an even stronger suction force.
Like a beast that had been in hibernation for a long time, suddenly awakened, extremely hungry.
A portion of the melting power of the Golden Immortal Sect gathered by the Saint Ancestor had already been completely devoured by it.
The Saint Ancestor clearly perceived that the power to transform into an immortal body was significantly reduced.
He looked bitterly at Ning Qi. Alas, he feared he might be the first person to have fully pushed open the Immortal Door but unable to complete the transformation into an immortal body.
The Saint Ancestor wasn’t actually afraid of not becoming an immortal now, but he feared his body would half transform into an immortal body and half remain mortal, stuck in between, which would be troublesome.
Who knew if, after Ning Qi’s intervention, he could still condense an Immortal Door in the future?
Ning Qi didn’t look at him, remaining focused on the front.
At this moment, with the complete liberation of the golden key, a clear scene appeared before Ning Qi.
The scene he saw before was quite vague, only showing an immortal stone, and next to the stone seemed to be two blurry figures, who were in a pavilion.
But now, the blur vanished, and a clear picture unfolded in Ning Qi’s vision.
In that picture, there were two people looking with shock at the immortal stone in the room.
"Brother Han, what on earth is happening? Why does the image transmitted back by the Immortal Crystal Spirit Stone show two people in the Immortal Door?"
One of the shadows exclaimed in surprise.
The other shadow seemed to be encountering such a situation for the first time, unable to respond.
"...I don’t know either!"
The expressions on their faces were so vivid, it was as if Ning Qi were watching from the side.
"Are the two true immortals behind the Immortal Door examining the cultivators from the Lower Realm?"
Ning Qi squinted slightly, speaking softly.
Beside him, upon hearing these words, the Saint Ancestor couldn’t help but look forward as well.
In his pupils was a faint outline, as if he too saw that scene, making him momentarily forget he was still undergoing his transformation to an immortal.
At this moment, it seemed as if the two sides, separated by endless space, were both aware of each other’s existence, and both were astonished.
However, it appeared that what Ning Qi saw, due to the golden key’s presence, was a real-time scene, unlike the two across, who were seeing the image captured and transmitted back by the Immortal Crystal Spirit Stone.
Ning Qi could see the two continually moving.
The two were continually forming spells, converging into immortal talismans, which were infused into the central Immortal Crystal Spirit Stone.
"People from the Lower Realm, you have some nerve, deceiving us from the start. Tell me, who exactly is the person beside you?"
A cold voice transmitted again.
In response, neither the Saint Ancestor nor Ning Qi answered.
Above them, the golden key was spinning nimbly, continuously absorbing the golden Immortal Radiance.
Strangely, the more golden Immortal Radiance it absorbed, but the Saint Ancestor and Ning Qi found that the golden Immortal Radiance around them did not decrease.
"Hmm?"
Ning Qi’s attention turned to the golden key.
The key vibrated in the void, and vaguely, at the tip of the key, a special rune began to form.
That rune was infinitely profound, initially just a simple triangular shape.
However, in the blink of an eye, more triangular shapes emerged within it, seemingly endless.
The triangular rune engraved in the void, continuously expanding, landed in front of Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor.
Gradually, in the two’s shocked gaze, the triangular rune seemed to transform into an Immortal Door, stabilizing in the void.
Afterward, the Immortal Door shimmered, and the rune seemed to be fully activated.
A dull metallic sound echoed through the entire space, and the rune Immortal Door actually opened automatically.
Thereafter, boundless golden Immortal Radiance burst out from it.
Among it, the majority of the Immortal Radiance was devoured by the golden key, which kindly left a portion to pass on to Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor behind.
The two were instantly engulfed by even more golden Immortal Radiance.
Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor were both baptized by the immortal power.
But their attention remained ahead, as the scene in their eyes changed once more.
The center of the scene, the immortal stone was covered in cracks.
The two true immortals beside it wore expressions of extreme terror.
In just a few breaths, the immortal stone shattered, the two true immortals were flung away, the entire pavilion erupted with a terrible blast of smoke, making the scene instantly blurry.
Successive collapse sounds transmitted over, leaving no further sound.
