Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1072 - 466: Legends of the Immortal Realm (Part 2)

The Immortal Realm is no longer the original Immortal Realm, with all resources becoming extremely limited.

In such circumstances, various Immortal Realms generally do not wish to receive too many Immortals entering the realm.

But this does not include the highly gifted Immortal Species!

The reason the Immortal Realm can still be supported is because of the existence of those powerful Immortals.

The more of those people there are, the more stable the Immortal Realm becomes, and it’s easier for other lower-realm Immortals to survive.

Therefore, after Han Song and his companion sensed all of this, the trembling in their hearts was evident.

They were so tense that their breathing nearly stopped, constantly observing the change in the Immortal Radiance within the spirit stones and sensing the drain of immortal power within them.

The brilliant golden celestial light grew ever more intense, making the two of them and the Immortal Selection Pavilion feel as if bathing in the warm sun of winter, yet also as if immersed in a golden furnace.

Strangely enough, within the golden celestial light, it seemed there were avenues flowing, giving birth to illusionary golden leaves.

"This feeling... Could it truly be..." Li Donglin stammered.

Han Song’s eyes shot out sharp light.

Even though both were True Immortals from the Upper Realm, their minds shook due to the qualifications of a Lower Realm Immortal, which was quite bizarre.

Moments later, the golden celestial light cooled like heated iron, and those illusionary golden leaves completely disappeared.

Their hopes dashed, they looked at each other and saw a thin layer of sweat born of tension on each other’s foreheads.

"What a shame, unable to break through..."

Han Song said disappointedly.

Li Donglin heard this and a look of loss flashed across his face.

"The Sea of Realms expands, the Immortal Realm falls. Brother Han, just now almost made me think we encountered something corresponding to legend..."

Han Song’s immortal power stirred within, cleansing the sweat on his forehead, and said:

"The thing you speak of in legend, could it be the re-aggregation of the Immortal Realm, the reappearance of the Immortal Realm?"

Li Donglin said: "Exactly, I remember that was the last prophecy left by the Immortal Emperor before the Immortal Realm fractured. It said that one day, various Immortal Realms would float with golden leaves again, and the Immortal Realm would reappear. Whether this prophecy is true or not, who knows?"

Mentioning this, Han Song’s expression became notably solemn.

"Be cautious with your words, how can the prophecy of the Immortal Emperor be questioned? Beware of divine punishment!"

Li Donglin stuck out his tongue, not daring to discuss it further, and had to redirect the topic.

"Brother Han, what should we do now?"

"Keep waiting, wait until the individual truly condenses the Immortal Door, feathering into immortality!"

...

Within the True Martial Spirit Realm.

Ning Qi gazed at the dissipating golden Immortal Door in the void, showing nearly the same look of loss as Han Song and the other.

"What a pity, that golden Immortal Door almost turned into a sun, yet didn’t expect it to still come short, ultimately unable to break through."

Across from him, Saint Ancestor sat powerlessly on the Enlightenment Plaza, looking as if he were drained.

"Kid, I can only do so much; aren’t you also capable of condensing a golden Immortal Door? If you truly want to try, it’s still up to you!"

Ning Qi smiled faintly: "How could that work? If you break through that step, I can assist from the side. If it’s me, I’m afraid there’s no turning back."

Sea Ancestor considerately gathered three cups of immortal brew using Water Dao Rules, taking one himself and handing the other two to Ning Qi and Saint Ancestor.

"I’ve brewed a bit of a drink using the immortal grass of the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain. Taste it."

Ning Qi and Saint Ancestor naturally agreed to drink.

Moments later, Saint Ancestor’s immortal power was completely restored.

Ning Qi was savoring the effects of the immortal brew.

"Not bad, the efficacy of these immortal grasses is indeed a level higher than various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within the Spirit Realm."

"If you wish to drink more, I’ll brew a bit more," Sea Ancestor laughed.

Saint Ancestor rose, his spirits rejuvenated.

"Kid, should we continue next?"

Ning Qi smacked his lips, slowly saying:

"Just directly condense a real Immortal Door; no more testing."

"Now?" Saint Ancestor was taken aback.

Sea Ancestor was also surprised.

"Now," Ning Qi confirmed with calm.

Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor exchanged glances, but they had no intention of opposition.

"Condensing a real Immortal Door makes quite a stir; do it here, or should we proceed to the Sea of Realms outside the True Martial Spirit Realm?"

Ning Qi pondered slightly.

"Neither, I plan to create a special space for you to try, what do you say?"

Saint Ancestor was stunned, asking: "What are you thinking again?"

Ning Qi waved at the two, and the world in front of them instantly transformed.

Once coming to their senses, Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor found themselves no longer within the Ten Thousand Venerable Mountain.

They glanced around.

In the distance, an immensely large Spirit Realm floated within the Sea of Realms, and the two immediately recognized it as the True Martial Spirit Realm.

They looked to the other side and found gray-black energy belts drifting, which was the energy of the Sea of Realms flowing.

They then observed beneath their feet.

A star river flowed, with them seeming to tread upon it, continuously distancing themselves from the True Martial Spirit Realm.

"You created a separate space yourself?" Saint Ancestor inquired.

Ning Qi, with hands clasped behind, responded:

"We’ve already seen Mountain Ancestor become immortal; once truly condensing the Immortal Door, it can isolate Immortals and Mortals, cutting off space-time."

"Then, Realm Venerable, why do this?" Sea Ancestor also queried in confusion.

Once Saint Ancestor truly condenses the Immortal Door, should he isolate Immortals and Mortals, she and Ning Qi might be unable to approach him.

"I’d like to try; within my space, can I change it all!"

Ning Qi’s eyes flickered with flame-like light.

To achieve enlightenment and become immortal used to be the desire of top cultivators in all worlds within the Sea of Realms.

Should they have a chance to become immortal, they certainly wouldn’t hesitate; nor would they question like Ning Qi here, preparing to explore the Immortal Door in reverse.

Saint Ancestor didn’t feel astonished; whatever Ning Qi wished to mess with, he could accept. However, he still had doubts inside.

"Kid, if I condense the Immortal Door, is it that the process cannot be reverted or interrupted?"

Ning Qi looked at him.

"There indeed is this possibility; if it truly can’t be stopped, then become immortal."

"You..."

Saint Ancestor was rendered speechless immediately.

He pointed at Ning Qi, saying: "Didn’t you say you’re creating a new system to become immortal, even saying the three of us need to unite? If I alone become immortal, what’s that about?"

Saint Ancestor wouldn’t mind becoming immortal, but Ning Qi’s previous notion swayed him.

No choice; Ning Qi’s words deeply resonated with him.

Saint Ancestor wouldn’t want everything painstakingly built to be lost because he alone became immortal.

"My goal has never changed," Ning Qi said solemnly, "I’m half confident I can help you interrupt the process of becoming immortal, but if truly unable to stop, just become immortal, at worst continue staying in the Sea of Realms; there’s no rule saying you must head to the Immortal Realm, right?"

"Damn it!"

Saint Ancestor rarely spat a rude word concerning Ning Qi.

Yet Ning Qi’s words managed to dissipate his internal anxiety.

Indeed, after attaining immortality, wasn’t the decision to stay or leave still up to him!

Didn’t he see that after becoming immortals, both had to traverse the Sea of Realms themselves?

What does that indicate?

It indicates these beings from the Lower Realm aren’t regarded by the Immortal Realm at all.

If you wish to go, then go; if not, they absolutely don’t care!

Of course, if he knew his recent test made the two True Immortals at the Immortal Selection Pavilion take him extremely seriously, even memorizing their location, Saint Ancestor might not feel as easy.

"Go on, if in the end, I can’t stop your becoming immortal, or you’re forced to leave the True Martial Spirit Realm, then I’ll use my avatar to attain immortality and accompany you to the Immortal Realm!"

Ning Qi encouraged again.

Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor both gave Ning Qi a surprised look.

They couldn’t help but envy Ning Qi; they almost forgot Ning Qi seemed capable of traversing two paths.

Just like before, Ning Qi divided out a reincarnation body to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm; Ning Qi seemed capable of producing an avatar to tread the original path of becoming immortal too.

"This guy is too well-prepared..." Saint Ancestor lamented.

Even if they could also divide avatars, neither could accomplish what Ning Qi did.

After all, Ning Qi’s life had long differed from theirs.

Ning Qi was both the True Martial Spirit Realm, able to exist as a spirit realm life, and could transform into a person, produce a standalone human life; this was where Ning Qi’s exceptional strength lay.

"No help; back then, facing the threat from the Mountain and Sea Realm, I was forced onto this path; now, it’s merely an unintended gain."

Saint Ancestor said no more.

He directly soared into the void, immortal power spilling out, starting to condense the real Immortal Door.
