Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Dual Rankings in the Immortal Path, Gate of the Immortal Realm, Conspiracies and Schemes Chapter 902: Chapter 902: Dual Rankings in the Immortal Path, Gate of the Immortal Realm, Conspiracies and Schemes “Unfortunately, Ancient Sage Beihe already passed through the Gate of the Immortal Realm five hundred years ago and has since disappeared without a trace.”
The Replica Ancient Saint shook his head.
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt helpless, as he had missed Emperor Beihe after all.
The other person had actually gone to the Immortal Realm!
After a moment of silence, Ye Feng managed his disappointment and asked, “Could you take me to see the Gate of the Immortal Realm?”
“Of course, no problem, but the Gate of the Immortal Realm is currently closed and will not open for another twenty years or so.”
The Replica Ancient Saint stood up, set to lead the way.
In midair.
A group of four people flew extremely fast.
Ye Feng looked down at the Minor Immortal Realm and discovered a Holy Grade Spirit Vein stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, with the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy being incredibly dense, forming several vortexes filled with abundant Immortal Qi.
Among them, the aura of the Immortal Dao Realm was emanating.
“Sect Master Ye, that is where the other top practitioners of the Minor Immortal Realm live, and technically, they are all my disciples and successors,” the Replica Ancient Saint said with a smile, pride clear on his face.
The entire Minor Immortal Realm was his.
Nourished by the Power of the World from the Minor Immortal Realm, the Replica Ancient Saint had a very prolonged lifespan, living well even after a million years.
However, due to the limitations of the Minor Immortal Realm, he was currently stuck at the Peak Stage of the Mid Immortal Dao Realm and was unable to make a breakthrough.
“The Minor Immortal Realm is still quite prosperous.”
Ye Feng nodded in approval.
Although this world was just a corner of the Immortal Realm, the Heaven and Earth Laws were very complete, and with time, it would not be a problem for the Replica Ancient Saint to advance to the Late Stage of the Immortal Dao Realm.
According to the clues from the Eye of Insight, Ye Feng realized that the Replica Ancient Saint was just one step away from a breakthrough.
The Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Leaves could perhaps be a major aid.
Whoosh!
The group of four traversed the sky, traveling over ten billion miles, and arrived at the summit of a super Divine Mountain that towered a million miles high.
“The Gate of the Immortal Realm is right here.”
The Replica Ancient Saint led everyone to land on the peak.
This place, referred to as the peak, was actually a thousand miles wide in area, with a very flat surface as if it had been cleaved by a sword.
At the center of the mountaintop stood two colossal stone pillars, each a hundred yards in diameter and rising up three thousand yards high, standing a thousand yards apart from each other.
“These two stone pillars are the Gate of the Immortal Realm,” the Replica Ancient Saint began to explain, “Normally, they are just two ordinary stone pillars, but when the time comes, a light screen will form between them, opening the passage to the Immortal Realm.”
“I see!” exclaimed Ye Feng, suddenly understanding.
Beside him, the Ancient Sacred True Dragon asked, “Are you sure it leads to the Immortal Realm and not to the Immortal Domain?”
The Replica Ancient Saint explained:
“It certainly leads to the Immortal Domain, since the Immortal Domain is a collective term for the subordinate interface of the Immortal Realm, so I’m not quite sure which exact interface it connects to, but it is definitely not the Immortal Realm.”
“The Immortal Realm is unique.”
“There are too many powerful beings there, not to mention the top fighters on the Immortal Realm’s Golden List. There are many who are stronger than me.”
“If the Gate of the Immortal Realm directly led to the Immortal Realm, it would’ve been discovered by the powerhouses of the Immortal Realm long ago.”
The Ancient Sacred True Dragon realized, “So that’s how it is!”
The Star River Saint, curious, asked, “What exactly is this Immortal Realm Golden List? It sounds like a high-standard ranking.”
Ye Feng also became interested.
He always felt there was some connection between the Immortal Realm Golden List and the Power Stele, though he wasn’t sure if it was just his perception.
The Replica Ancient Saint patiently explained:
“The Immortal Realm has two lists, the Immortal Realm Golden List and the Immortal Realm Silver List, with the former recording the top fighters of the Immortal Realm, and the latter recording the top geniuses below the Immortal Realm.”
“There are a million spots on the Immortal Realm Golden List.”
“Those who make it onto the list are at least in the Late Stage of the Immortal Dao Realm, also known as the Heavenly Saint Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng and the others were shocked.
“The total number of fighters above the Heavenly Saint Realm in the Immortal Realm exceeds a million? That’s unbelievable!” The Ancient Sacred True Dragon trembled all over.
“Indeed, you must be joking!” the Star River Saint trembled, finding it all too incredible.
Yet, after his initial shock, Ye Feng felt that all of this was possible and not really surprising.
A million years ago.
At that time, the Three Thousand Realms were at their Peak Stage, with Myriad Clans standing tall, the number of Supreme Saint Powerhouses exceeding ten thousand, millions upon millions of Heavenly Saints, and tens of millions manifesting Saints, with those beyond the Saint Realm surpassing a hundred million.
The Immortal Realm, comparable to the Three Thousand Realms, certainly wouldn’t be inferior, and might even surpass it.
“This is true!”
The Replica Ancient Saint said seriously, “The Immortal Realm is unbelievably ancient, with a history of countless eons, having reached its peak in the recent millions of years, possessing innumerable powerhouses, truly countless!”
“As for the Immortal Dao Silver Rankings, there are also a million slots.”
“The list mainly includes top geniuses who have not yet ascended to immortality. Anyone who makes it onto the list will definitely become an immortal.”
Becoming an immortal means reaching the Immortal Dao Realm.
In Shenzhou, this is akin to Saint Ascension.
“Definitely become an immortal? That talent is indeed terrifying,” the Ancient Sacred True Dragon acknowledged highly.
“It is very strong,” the Star River Saint nodded.
At that moment, Ye Feng stood before a massive pillar, observing the countless ancient and complex Array Patterns, noticing that some patterns resembled the runes contained within the Heavenly Venerable Secret Art.
“The handiwork of a Heavenly Venerable?”
Ye Feng couldn’t help but speculate.
He turned back, asking the Replica Ancient Saint, “Do you know when these two pillars appeared?”
“I wasn’t paying much attention.”
The Replica Ancient Saint shook his head, “In my memory, these two pillars have always been here, their history exceeding a million years, and I don’t know who left them, even I can’t destroy them.”
Hearing this, Ye Feng slightly furrowed his brows.
The Eye of Insight quietly activated.
[Name: Gate of the Immortal Realm]
[Status: Not Opened]
[Description: Opens once every five hundred years, each time lasting one hour, allowing travel between the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Realm during this time]
After reading this information, Ye Feng stroked his chin.
The next moment, a thought struck him:
“Our previous thinking might have had a misconception, first of all, why is it called the Gate of the Immortal Realm instead of the Gate of the Immortal Domain? Because, this is the gateway to the Immortal Realm!”
“A million years ago, the great war had not yet erupted.”
“At that time, the Minor Immortal Realm was still a part of the Immortal Realm, the true Immortal Realm!”
“Was the original purpose of opening the Gate of the Immortal Realm to facilitate the ascent of beings from the Immortal Domain to the Immortal Realm?”
“Or perhaps, was it to facilitate the descent of people from the Immortal Realm?”
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, this immediately drew astonishment from the Ancient Sacred True Dragon, Star River Saint, and Replica Ancient Saint.
“Indeed!”
The Replica Ancient Saint slapped his forehead.
“I had always been looking at it from the perspective of the Minor Immortal Realm, not from the perspective of the entire Immortal Realm, my thinking was flawed from the start.”
Before, he thought that the Gate of the Immortal Realm was a conspiracy specifically targeting the Minor Immortal Realm, exclusively used for attacking the Minor Immortal Realm.
But now, upon second thought, this might just be a mysterious portal crafted by the Immortal Realm’s Great Power to facilitate communication between the Immortal Realm and the lower realms, not belonging to any conspiracy or trick.
“However, I’m still very curious.”
The Replica Ancient Saint scratched his head, taking out a World-breaking Pearl, “But really, wanting to travel between the Immortal Realm and the Immortal Domain, a World-breaking Pearl would suffice; there’s no need for the Gate of the Immortal Realm!”
“This is indeed a point of doubt,” Ye Feng nodded in agreement, “By the way, are there any other Gate of the Immortal Realm in other places in the Immortal Realm?”
“When I was still in the Immortal Realm, I never saw the Gate of the Immortal Realm; if it weren’t for the invasion of beings from the Immortal Domain ten thousand years ago, I wouldn’t even know this thing existed in the Minor Immortal Realm.”
The Replica Ancient Saint repeatedly shook his head.
Ye Feng fell into deep thought once more.
After a moment.
“Then, thinking negatively, the existence of the Gate of the Immortal Realm might indeed be part of a conspiracy or trick.”
Ye Feng’s voice sounded quite somber.
