Chapter 1085 - 472: Saint Ancestor Becomes Immortal (Part 2)

In an instant, a golden triangular rune appeared in the void within the Immortal Punishment Pavilion hall.

"Do you recognize this rune?"

The mysterious clan emblem reflected in the pupils caused Dao Bu Jin, acting Vice Palace Master of Qian Daoist Palace, to squint his eyes.

"Could this be..."

"You recognize it? Do you want to know more?"

Dao Bu Jin hesitated, uncertain.

He paced back and forth in the Immortal Punishment Pavilion, becoming somewhat restless.

Elder Jiang Shou didn’t mind him but instead picked up the celestial tea from the table and savored it slowly.

Before long, the person sent to gather intelligence returned.

The person cast a glance at the unexpectedly crowded hall, holding a jade scroll and kneeling slightly as he reported, "Elder Jiang, the intelligence has been gathered."

"Let me take a look."

The person used immortal power to deliver the jade scroll to Elder Jiang Shou.

Elder Jiang Shou immediately released his divine sense, scanning the information within it.

The jade scroll contained the spatial coordinates of the Guardian Immortal Army stationed around the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm over the years, all converted into data streams entering Elder Jiang Shou’s mind.

Soon, Elder Jiang Shou constructed a map of the Sea of Realms surrounding the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm in his mind, placing everyone’s spatial coordinates within it.

He also aligned the coordinates given by Han Song from the Selection Immortal Pavilion to the location of the Fifteenth District of the Far East Boundary Sea.

"The person closest to the Fifteenth District of the Far East Boundary Sea is... found!"

Elder Jiang Shou’s eyes lit up, pinpointing the person’s coordinate location.

"It’s a pity that the Fifteenth District is too remote; the person is in the Thirteenth District. Even at his strength, it will take two months to reach the Fifteenth District."

Now, Elder Jiang Shou found himself in a dilemma.

After all, if he went personally, with full force and using a spatial realm boat, it would take him only a month to get there.

However, he really couldn’t leave the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm.

Elder Jiang Shou’s gaze inadvertently shifted to Dao Bu Jin, who was pacing in the hall.

"Dao Bu Jin, have you given it any thought?"

Dao Bu Jin had stopped pacing upon the arrival of the newcomer, standing in a corner of the hall, his eyes brighter than ever.

"Tell me, even if I no longer act as the Vice Palace Master, I should investigate it."

Listening to his words, Elder Jiang Shou suddenly wondered if what he did was wrong.

If this guy doesn’t return from the lower realm, will that old Daoist from Qian Daoist Palace come to challenge him?

Oh well, right now he truly couldn’t find a better person to go. If that old Daoist wants to confront him, let him; there’s no backing down for Jiang Shou.

Next, Jiang Shou explained everything to Dao Bu Jin.

Nevertheless, to ensure nothing goes wrong, he decided to contact the Guardian Immortal Army previously stationed in the Thirteenth District of the Far East Boundary Sea as a double insurance.

"I’ve told you everything I know; it’s of great importance, and you should know how crucial it is to keep it confidential."

Dao Bu Jin immediately drew symbols in the air.

His immortal power erupted, invoking mysterious forces within the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm, placing a secret Destruction Curse upon himself.

"Now can Elder Jiang Shou rest assured?"

What more could Jiang Shou say; he simply gave him a thumbs-up.

"Then go, you have spent a lot of time in the lower realm and still retain some humanity amidst your immortality, perhaps making you the best candidate for this task."

Elder Jiang Shou concluded with a profound statement.

Dao Bu Jin was momentarily stunned, giving him a respectful bow.

"Today, Dao Bu Jin has encountered a confidant!"

...

Far East Boundary Sea Fifteenth District.

The True Martial Spirit Realm here could be considered the largest spirit realm in this area nowadays.

Integrating with two vast spirit realms, Mountain and Sea Realm and Vast Realm, the True Martial Spirit Realm had grown unprecedentedly.

It had yet to completely absorb the energy of the two realms and was still undergoing slow transformation.

Ning Qi and his two companions remained outside the True Martial Spirit Realm, in the small space he created.

Ning Qi and Sea Ancestor gazed at the distant golden celestial light.

The immortal radiance intertwined densely, forming an elliptical sphere like silk threads, completely enveloping the Saint Ancestor’s body.

Rather than immortal radiance, it now resembled more of an immortal cocoon.

Golden divine text danced around the immortal cocoon, occasionally flying into the cocoon and disappearing from sight.

Each time a golden divine text entered, the aura within the cocoon grew stronger, and the golden immortal cocoon became slightly paler.

Ning Qi and Sea Ancestor had been waiting patiently for three full days.

During these three days, Sea Ancestor also absorbed the golden celestial light given by Ning Qi.

However, unlike Saint Ancestor, Sea Ancestor did not undergo a total transformation from within, only transforming her entire physical body into a semi-immortal form.

Ning Qi faced them, consistently recording and comparing their changes.

Sea Ancestor had not condensed an Immortal Door, nor registered in the Immortal Registry, let alone undergone upper realm evaluations at their Immortal Door.

Despite absorbing golden celestial light also raided from the Immortal Door, she couldn’t replicate the comprehensive transformation of Saint Ancestor.

Of course, this was also related to the energy of the Sea of Realms within Sea Ancestor.

"They often say the Sea of Realms is boundless; I find the Immortal Door seems boundless too. I didn’t expect the Immortal Door setup by the upper realm to be so powerful."

Ning Qi and Sea Ancestor conversed.

Feeling the body’s changes, Sea Ancestor accepted Ning Qi’s gift matter-of-factly, embracing the term semi-immortal form.

"Becoming an immortal is indeed not easy; it seems necessary to undergo the assessment of those immortals to completely transform into one."

Ning Qi himself had absorbed quite a bit of celestial light.

"Thankfully, I never wanted to take the path of immortality; otherwise, I would have to undergo the scrutiny of those in the upper realm."

Sea Ancestor laughed, "Why are you unwilling to take that path?"

Ning Qi calmly replied, "I’m used to being free; I’ve always believed taking the path others have walked, the road many have followed, might not lead to becoming a true supreme being!"

Sea Ancestor heard this and, on her stunningly beautiful face, her icy eyes seemed to freeze.

"These words make sense; looking back at my life, being able to stand out also aligns with what you said."

Ning Qi looked at her, "Are you willing to deviate from that grand path?"

Sea Ancestor lightly combed her hair, gazing at the distant golden immortal cocoon with icy eyes.

"You’ve stirred up such a big mess; perhaps the three of us have already been recorded by the Great Wilderness Immortal Realm. Even if I wanted to take that grand path, I’m afraid I couldn’t."

She paused, then continued, "However, I am indeed willing to try this new path you mentioned."

Sea Ancestor had many things she didn’t elaborate on.

Having transcended from the Mountain and Sea Realm, observing the Sea of Realms, witnessing Mountain Ancestor’s ascension, then being guided by Ning Qi, her worldview underwent a dramatic shift.

The invasion of the Sea of Realms, the breakdown of the Immortal Realm, and taking the path of immortality prescribed by the Immortal Realm, can they truly remain eternal and indestructible?

The two exchanged ideas for a while; suddenly, the distant golden immortal cocoon dimmed completely.

Crack!

Crack!

Tiny ripping sounds echoed from afar.

From the golden immortal cocoon, a silhouette emerged, piercing through the cocoon.

The large and sturdy figure resembled a heavenly god.

The next moment, within this space, golden light poured out like the morning sun rising from the east.

Ning Qi and Sea Ancestor perceived the Sea of Realms energy outside this small space being pushed back three hundred feet!

Finally, Saint Ancestor emerged from the cocoon, with the cocoon threads clinging to his body, transformed into a golden celestial robe.

Saint Ancestor’s essence, qi, and spirit were completely different, no longer the aged and sour scholar image from before.

He was young and imposing; if not for the golden celestial robe concealing his tall stature, the last traces of a scholar’s demeanor might have been entirely lost.

The golden celestial light surrounding him, if Mountain Ancestor was previously the Full Moon Immortal Body, then Saint Ancestor at this moment was the Rising Sun Body.

Legend has it that the reason why the Immortal Realm created golden, silver, and other Immortal Doors was to exalt certain immortal races secretly.

Gold represented the Golden Immortal Race, though with the passage of time, many people have forgotten this detail.

Of course, Saint Ancestor’s Rising Sun Body was far from the legendary Golden Immortal Race, but compared to ordinary immortals and previously Mountain Ancestor, it was inherently stronger.

Saint Ancestor looked at himself, murmuring:

"I love calligraphy and painting, how could I wear such a splendid garment?"

Sea Ancestor and Ning Qi approached, Sea Ancestor glared at Saint Ancestor.

"You sour scholar, are you speaking arrogantly for cheap, profit right in front of us?"

Saint Ancestor felt embarrassed, but still transformed, retracting the golden celestial light.

He even used immortal power to change the golden celestial robe on his body, turning it completely modest as before.

"This attire fits my aura!"

"Old fellow, old fellow, anyone hearing your youthful voice would accuse you of hypocrisy and pretending to be old."

Ning Qi also teased.
