Chapter 1079: Chapter 470: Golden Immortal Race
Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor both watched as the scene in their eyes vanished completely along with the collapse of the pavilion.
The Saint Ancestor stiffly turned his neck to look at Ning Qi beside him, his mouth gaping so wide you could stuff an ostrich egg in it.
"B-brat, I... it looks like we’ve kicked a hornet’s nest!"
Ning Qi was clearly bathing in Gold Immortal Radiance, yet his face had also turned slightly pale.
"It’s fine, this has nothing to do with us. We didn’t do anything!"
His tone was firm, as if none of this truly had anything to do with him.
Ning Qi did indeed want to probe the secret beyond the Immortal Door, but he had never planned to make an enemy of the Immortal Realm.
Let alone the fact that they had now directly shattered the Immortal stone on the other side, triggering a terrifying explosion that brought down what was clearly a building in the Immortal Realm.
Just thinking about it, Ning Qi knew that this explosion must have caused an immense shock within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm!
Ning Qi’s gaze fell once more on the Gold key in the void that was absorbing the Gold Immortal Radiance.
The Gold key shone brilliantly, the immense immortal power on it boiling like a pot.
Even Ning Qi couldn’t make sense of the triangular rune it had just condensed.
The triangular rune was like a huge net, completely snatching away all the immortal power from that chunk of Immortal stone in the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm—exceptionally overbearing!
However, it did not fully devour all the Immortal Radiance it had seized, as if pitying Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor for taking the blame for it.
It actually withheld two clusters of Immortal Radiance and tossed them toward the two behind it.
Then, the triangular rune wrapped around the rest of the immortal power it had robbed and, with a whoosh, shrank back into the key, adding a hint of unknown mystery to it.
As the rune receded, the Gold key lightly trembled and once again dropped into Ning Qi’s hand.
Looking at the key in his hand, Ning Qi felt the urge to throw it away, yet couldn’t bear to.
"Just what is this thing, that it can cause such a huge commotion?"
Ning Qi was puzzled.
Ning Qi and the Saint Ancestor were both bathing in Gold Immortal Radiance.
Strands of Divine Text fluttered around the two of them like flying feathers, constantly drilling into their bodies.
Ning Qi felt this Gold Immortal Radiance remodeling his flesh, turning it into an Immortal Body.
His physical body seemed to crave this immortal power endlessly. Every cell was screaming, constantly dividing and being reborn, renewed from the inside out.
At his side, the Saint Ancestor was likewise in the midst of an Immortal Body metamorphosis. His Magic Body gradually became as if cast from Gold—Immortal and eternal.
However, Ning Qi’s speed in absorbing Immortal Radiance was clearly faster than the Saint Ancestor’s, and the amount was far greater.
Whether it was because Ning Qi was a Realm Lord or not, his physique was already terrifyingly strong.
So long as his world did not perish, Ning Qi would not perish!
In terms of physique, the Saint Ancestor naturally couldn’t compare with him, and in absorbing power he was far from being able to keep up.
In just a few breaths, Ning Qi completely absorbed the Gold Immortal Radiance that had wrapped around him.
He clenched his fist and felt an unprecedented strength coursing through his body.
If he faced the Mountain Ancestor again, he feared that just relying on this physical body alone, he could go head-to-head with the Mountain Ancestor’s Divine Techniques after becoming Immortal, and directly take him down.
Yet in this moment, Ning Qi instead felt an intense sense of hunger.
All the cells in his body were crying out to him—that hadn’t been enough. The immortal power just now was like nothing more than an appetizer for his body.
Ning Qi couldn’t help but turn his gaze toward the Saint Ancestor beside him.
The Saint Ancestor was seated cross-legged in the Gold Immortal Radiance; he had already entered the process of Feather Transformation into Immortality.
Ning Qi could see a fine layer of Immortal feathers growing from the pores on the surface of his body out of the Gold Immortal Radiance. It was the form taken when the energy impacting the Saint Ancestor’s body reached an extreme.
Ning Qi forcibly suppressed the feeling of hunger. Otherwise, he truly wanted to keep absorbing the Gold Immortal Radiance that was enveloping the Saint Ancestor.
If he really did that, the Saint Ancestor would probably be unable to complete his Feather Transformation into Immortality.
Ning Qi didn’t want to do that.
Among him, the Saint Ancestor, and the Sea Ancestor, at least one of them had to try the traditional path of becoming Immortal so that Ning Qi could better study it.
Ning Qi had absorbed so much Gold Immortal Radiance, yet there was no sign of Feather Transformation into Immortality.
Firstly, because his body contained Infinite Evil Qi; secondly, because he walked the Realm Lord cultivation system—this little bit of immortal power could not possibly satisfy his Realm Lord body.
Ning Qi raised his left hand and stared at the Gold key in his palm.
Suddenly, he gripped the Gold key tightly.
"Spit out some more immortal power for me!"
But the Gold key showed none of its previous reactions, as if it had completely turned into a dead object.
Ning Qi no longer treated it like an ordinary item at this moment; he was certain this fellow had a will of its own!
So Ning Qi grabbed the Gold key with both hands, as if he were about to snap it in half, and shouted at it, "Are you going to give it or not?"
A powerful force surged from the Gold key, as though resisting Ning Qi’s hands, causing his newly strengthened body to violently shudder.
Ning Qi was stunned!
The toughness of this key far exceeded any material he knew. There was nothing he could do to it.
The Gold key trembled once and then went still, seemingly not afraid of Ning Qi’s threat in the slightest, as if saying, "Go on, try breaking me."
Ning Qi was speechless.
Since force wouldn’t work, he’d use the soft approach.
Ning Qi tried communicating with it, saying:
"Since you can seize immortal power from the Immortal Realm, why don’t you return to the Immortal Realm yourself? If you’re going to make me take the blame, then if you want to stay by my side, you have to listen to what I say!"
This time, the previously silent Gold key trembled three times in Ning Qi’s hand, as if protesting.
But in the end, it seemed to feel somewhat guilty, and it also wanted to remain by Ning Qi’s side, so it reluctantly spat out a cluster of Gold Immortal Radiance.
Seeing this, Ning Qi’s eyes lit up slightly.
Since it could communicate and heed his words, then he could keep it with him—and at the very least, he could continue shearing wool off this Gold key.
