Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1018 - 440: Feather Transformation and Becoming Immortal

The ultimate goal for any cultivator is the pursuit of the Dao and the quest for immortality.

However, those who achieve this exalted state are exceptionally rare, with fewer than one in a billion succeeding.

Currently, the three Ancestors from the two great Spirit Realms all possess the potential for immortal ascension, irrespective of their moral standing, with the Mountain Ancestor leading the charge to reopen the Immortal Door.

The Golden Immortal Sect emanates a brilliant golden radiance, illuminating the Dharma Body of the Mountain Ancestor as the Immortal Door begins to creak open.

Yet, due to the immense energy from the Sea of Realms contained within the Buzhou Mountain remains inside the Mountain Ancestor, the door starts to recede, appearing to close itself.

The Mountain Ancestor is compelled to utilize his Dharma Body to prop it open, exerting himself to prevent the Immortal Door from sealing shut.

Immortality was within grasp, but this unforeseen event leaves not only the Mountain Ancestor but also Ning Qi and the two others observing from a distance utterly dumbfounded.

While Ning Qi and his companions might harbor private desires for the Mountain Ancestor not to achieve immortality, witnessing this unprecedented spectacle of immortal passage in the Sea of Realms being disrupted causes them a degree of regret.

The Mountain Ancestor's successful ascension to immortality would have served as a pioneering example for them.

If even someone as formidable as the Mountain Ancestor finds himself unable to enter the Immortal Door, they are forced to question their own prospects of reaching it in the future.

Ning Qi and the others can only continue their vigil.

Ning Qi's gaze fixes upon the Golden Immortal Sect situated ahead in the Sea of Realms, a barrier separating immortals from mortals, which also disrupts the flow of time, preventing him from journeying back to the True Martial Spirit Realm with the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor.

This is an entirely new predicament for him.

The Golden Immortal Sect radiates a sacred golden light, appearing as an immortal entity within the Sea of Realms.

This golden effulgence repels the turbulent waves of the Sea of Realms, pushing them back ten zhang, rendering them incapable of intrusion.

One realm glows with gold, the other is a somber gray-black, like two irreconcilable worlds.

Observing this scene, a sudden idea sparks in Ning Qi's mind, related to something he possesses.

Discretely, he extends his Spiritual Sense towards the Saint Ancestor and Sea Ancestor standing beside him, noting their intense focus remains solely on the Mountain Ancestor's efforts to open the Immortal Door.

Ning Qi makes a subtle, almost imperceptible gesture, tapping the empty air with his finger.

Unnoticed by anyone, Ning Qi's finger had already slipped into his Storage Space, concealed by a Blinding Technique.

With a mere touch of his Spiritual Sense, Ning Qi retrieves an item from his Storage Space, his fingertip making contact with it.

Even without fully extracting it, the item seems to undergo a miraculous transformation at that very moment.

It was a golden key, an artifact Ning Qi acquired from the Profound Truth Secret Realm; its most significant use to date had been suppressing the potent Infinite Evil Qi within the Sword Ancestor.

Ning Qi had never fully grasped the origins of either the key or the malevolent Qi.

But now, as he observes the Golden Immortal Sect and the dark mist continuously spilling from the Mountain Ancestor, Ning Qi makes an immediate connection to the item.

What astounds Ning Qi internally is that upon touching the golden key, it begins to emit light and heat within his Storage Space, vibrating violently and pointing in a specific direction, as if yearning to break free.

Ning Qi experiences a powerful premonition.

If he were to take it out, the golden key would undoubtedly fly directly towards the Golden Immortal Sect!

Without hesitation, Ning Qi employs a Great Magical Power to anchor the golden key, restraining its intense vibrations.

For the first time, he gains a distinct understanding of the golden key's genesis.

The golden key is intrinsically linked to the Golden Immortal Sect, entwined with the very mystery of achieving immortality!

Ning Qi feels a surge of excitement; he never imagined that a key he discovered years ago could hold such profound significance.

If his current hypothesis proves correct, his future rewards will be immense!

Ning Qi maintains his silence, clutching the golden key while continuing to observe the Mountain Ancestor's endeavor to breach the Golden Immortal Sect.

Ahead, the golden radiance descending from the Golden Immortal Sect begins to dim rapidly, receding and transforming back to a silver hue.

Concurrently, the Golden Immortal Sect itself retracts its golden color with a resonant rumble, shrinking back to its former state as the Silver Immortal Sect.

The Mountain Ancestor strikes the Immortal Door with his fists, as if beating a rhythm, desperately attempting to enter.

After the golden radiance and the Golden Immortal Sect vanish, Ning Qi distinctly senses that the golden key's intense vibration ceases.

This discovery further solidifies his conviction that it is undeniably connected to immortality.

Ning Qi remains wordless, his gaze steadfastly fixed on the Mountain Ancestor.

The Silver Immortal Sect, though less grandiose than the Golden Immortal Sect, nevertheless stretches across the Sea of Realms, its form faintly resembling a full moon.

Silver beams showered down, illuminating the Mountain Ancestor’s Dharma Body, making it appear pure and untainted.

On the surface of the Mountain Ancestor’s Dharma Aspect, an abundance of black mist from the Sea of Realms continued to surge upwards.

The black mist and the silver radiance were fundamentally incompatible, much like fire and water clashing.

Simultaneously, the Silver Immortal Sect began its slow, deliberate closure.

The Mountain Ancestor exhibited visible signs of shock.

He finally grasped the truth: it wasn't just the Golden Immortal Sect, but the Silver Immortal Sect too, that was closing because of the remnant power of Buzhou Mountain residing within him.

"Now, what living being or entity is unaffected by the invasion of the Sea of Realms? You've truly gone too far!"

In a sudden outburst, the Mountain Ancestor bellowed towards the inner sanctum of the Immortal Door.

His impassioned words naturally ignited a torrent of speculative thoughts within Ning Qi and the others.

Could there truly be someone orchestrating these events from behind the Immortal Door?

With a creaking sound, the Silver Immortal Sect continued its gradual sealing, forcefully pushing the Mountain Ancestor backward.

Seeing this, the Mountain Ancestor fell into a state of panic.

"Buzhou Method Destruction!"

A celestial decree and a Dharma Seal issued forth from his mouth, abruptly morphing into a drifting golden talisman.

Positioned directly above the Mountain Ancestor, an astonishing suction force suddenly emanated from the talisman, rapidly consuming and devouring all the black mist that had been radiating from him.

The characters inscribed on the golden talisman visibly darkened, and without delay, it ceased hovering above the Mountain Ancestor, instead plunging directly into his mouth and vanishing without a trace.

From that moment onward, no further black mist emanated from the Mountain Ancestor's presence. The Silver Immortal Sect, no longer sensing the encroaching mist, halted its closure.
