Chapter 1615 - Opening the Immortal Gates
The majestic stone gate’s simple and unadorned stone patterns produced brilliance. Then, it became extremely brilliant!
These two characters made everyone shiver, leaving them feeling greatly shaken. They were clearly extremely divine, yet also gave off a type of great pressure, making one’s primordial spirit tremble.
Moreover, that type of trembling became more and more terrifying, as if their soul was a candle flame in the wind, continuously flickering, ready to go out at any time!
What was going on?
Regardless of whether it was Shi Hao or the two Golden Undead Knights, they both involuntarily backed up, feeling extremely uneasy. Their scalps went numb, fine hairs all standing on end.
This was an extremely shocking change, as if a prehistoric giant beast opened its eyes. Even though there was a resplendent rain of light, it was still terrifying beyond compare!
The simple and unadorned stone gate released radiance that seemed to penetrate all of eternity. It was too pure and holy, like the first strand of light that appeared in the creation of the world, connected to the undying and everlasting.
On the stone gate, all types of imprints appeared, telling of the secrets during the opening of the heavens, the mysteries of primal chaos. Many ancient predecessors appeared, only, they were too blurry, difficult to see them clearly.
One could vaguely hear a long and drawn-out dao sound that cleansed one’s soul, making them feel as if they were about to complete an evolution!
Shi Hao, Sanzang and Shenming all wanted to listen to this, use it to comprehend the dao, even more so wanted to rush over, study those unmatched profound mysteries, use them to undergo a complete transformation.
However, a sphere of light flickered about, as if it could command the heavens, make all creatures in the universe bow down and kowtow, shaking these stone gates from high up above.
This was, without a doubt, the light that appeared from the corpse on the woven mat. This was what moved the stone gates, as well as what displayed such intimidating might.
Shi Hao was horrified. He quickly snapped out of it. Just now, his primordial spirit almost left his body to enter through those grand stone gates!
It was an extremely terrifying feeling. Even though that place was divine, containing great dao roots, making one wish to head inside, for some reason, after they became vigilant, they were covered in cold sweat.
“These gates are extremely strange, there is danger!” Sanzang said with a sunken voice.
His expression was the most serious. In addition, a layer of cold sweat appeared from his forehead. This was the first time he was this serious and nervous, as if he was facing the root of all chaos.
Shenming’s expression was also extremely bad. If not for that sphere of light that shook, just now, they might have just been finished. Their souls would be sucked into the stone gates, and at that time, heaven knew what would happen.
When one turned back, all types of skeletal remains could be seen, some as large as stars, resting in the void, floating before the grand stone gates. Did these creatures all die this way in the past?
However, after thinking about it carefully, at their level, there was no way a stone gate should be able to destroy their souls. They should have died after fighting an intense battle.
Immortal Homeland, this was the source of immortal dao, the territory of true immortals, a place known as Immortal Domain!
Behind those stone gates was a great world, vast and boundless, wide and limitless. Now, it was isolated from the rest of the world, blocked by these stone gates, no one able to go inside.
Ao…
In front of the stone gates, a group of Lightning Spirits roared, extremely upset, surging with emotions. It was clear that just now, they almost suffered a disaster as well. If not for the supreme treasure of the one laying on the woven mat moving, they would have most likely been in danger.
Hong!
That sphere of light suddenly became harsh, fairly releasing a streak of light, blasting the stone gates, immediately drowning this place in a rain of light.
Then, that sphere of light returned, entering the chest of that person on the woven mat, entering his blood-soaked tattered clothes, thus disappearing without a trace.
Only, things didn’t end here. The stone gates shook intensely, as if they were going to collapse, be blasted open.
Sanzang was shocked. He and Shenming clearly knew about many secrets, knowing what kind of place Immortal Domain was. Right now, they looked like they had seen ghosts, completely stupefied.
In reality, in Shi Hao’s opinion, they were basically ‘ghosts’ themselves.
“These stone gates can’t be opened, they are Immortal Domain’s stronghold, the only exit. It is useless no matter who comes, yet now, it actually moved?!”
“How could this be possible? This doesn’t match the burial books’ recordings. After these gates closed, the connection with the outside world is cut, basically the same as sealing itself, no one able to open it! Now, it was actually activated, is a shocking change going to take place?”
The two Golden Undead Knights were completely shocked, in disbelief.
Who exactly was the one on the woven mat? Just what kind of terrifying identity did he have?
Suddenly, shocking things took place. From the center of the stone gates outwards, cracks appeared one after another, sparkling and gleaming. This was especially the case with the two sides and above, the cracks even more dense.
The Lightning Spirits quickly backed up, not daring to come into contact!
What was this?
Shi Hao’s group also backed up.
The lines extended, quickly interweaving, as if someone was painting, actually producing an indistinct scene.
Soon afterwards, it became a bit clearer. It was actually a wall, moving towards the two sides. Even though it still wasn’t complete, made from lines, it was materializing.
“This is… Immortal Domain’s fort?” Shenming was stupefied. It could actually appear like this, as if it was sketched out by someone, portrayed.
“Perhaps we can rush in?!” Sanzang thought of something. This touched upon spatial natural laws, as well as the issues of time nodes.
His face was grave and stern, eyes releasing shocking radiance. Then, he turned into a golden streak, quickly rushing towards one side of the city wall, searching for an opening.
“According to the bronze books’ recordings, perhaps there is a gap that can be found!” Shenming also moved, rushing towards the other side.
At the same time, the Lightning Spirits all got up, becoming like divine arrows, shooting outwards, rushing towards the wall that was currently taking form.
Then, the Kun Fish’s tail moved, also swimming forward.
Shi Hao frowned. He also moved, rushing forward, wishing to examine the changes that were happening here. Just what kind of deeper meaning was there exactly?
In reality, he was more interested in getting close to the person lying on the woven mat. This was perhaps the root of what made the stone gates change so greatly.
Only, he held himself back, because the Golden Undead Knight Shenming suffered such a terrible backlash even when examining him from far away. If he really did get close, it would definitely be even more dangerous.
A divine ring silently appeared behind Shi Hao’s head. It turned into a mirror, flying towards the stone gate. The mysterious flame that had disappeared for a long time appeared again.
It floated in front of the stone gate, burning gently, not all that intensely. It was still the size of a fist, illuminating all of the patterns and engravings on the stone gates.
Then, ancient stone engravings rushed out one after another, arriving from different great eras one after another.
The diagrams before him carried mist. Shi Hao began to examine them, starting from the center.
There was a person who was incredibly robust, figure large and tall, covered in facial hair. He held a battle-ax in his hand, looking extremely ferocious. When this ax descended, it was as if the entire universe could be hacked open.
There was a woman who was cool and elegant, standing above the heavens, confronting a black figure who ripped apart the realm wall, shaking up the nine great heavens!
An ancient war chariot cast from Immortal Gold released golden brilliance. It was completely forged from Ecliptic Immortal Gold, rumbling over like the lord of the heavens, intimidating endless generations. There was a creature inside who overlooked the world under the heavens.
The other diagrams were extremely grand as well, carrying mysterious brilliance.
There were endless predecessors, an altar that was as tall as the sky, making offerings to the heavens, kowtowing together, as if they were summoning something, and then it caused a pair of stone gates to appear.
…
“It is revealing some of the major events of the past!”
Shi Hao suspected that perhaps what was recorded on the stone gates were some ancient events that had profound effects, involving the heavens, or else they wouldn’t appear here.
That sphere of light was pulsating, shining upon the stone gates, as if it was going to illuminate the past, present, and future, pass over all of the patterns and dao law imprints once, make them take form there.
There were many imprints, it was extremely terrifying. Even with Shi Hao’s cultivation, he actually couldn’t look directly at them, only able to take hurried glances.
The space between his brows split apart, head in so much pain it felt like it was going to split apart. Those ancient imprints were too terrifying, couldn’t be looked at for long!
Eventually, he saw a great bell, serving as the last scene. The bell’s sound waves seemed like they shook the great era until it cracked, as if there were still bell sounds ringing to this day, passing through ten thousand generations to leave behind a light sigh!
Without End’s bell!
The last great era came to an end!
Shi Hao was shocked, inwardly regretful. It was because the engravings on the stone gates were all major events of the past. He could only make a hurried glance, couldn’t truly see those important matters clearly.
Without End Immortal King’s bell cracked apart, serving as the marking of the destruction and conclusion of the last great era. This left him shocked. He knew that this was a great era timeline!
Only when that flame returned, entering Shi Hao’s body again, did he snap out of his daze.
At the same time, a gate appeared, as well as a boundless city wall. It was situated there, overlooking the cosmos and starry skies!
It really was too grand, towering before a sea of stars, suppressing the past, protecting the present, overlooking the future. It was unshakable, carrying rich immortal energy.
Meanwhile, in reality, if one looked carefully, it was just a gateway. The city wall that was exposed looked incredibly vast, but comparatively speaking, it was just an extremely small portion.
Immediately afterwards, the stone gates became brilliant and transparent.
A few creatures appeared. Above the city gateway, there was even someone who spoke, the voice shaking up the universe.
At the same time, regardless of whether it was the Lightning Spirits, Sanzang, Shenming, or that Kun Fry, they were all sent flying.
Shua!
Their expressions paled, clearly not in the best condition. If not for the woven mat shining, producing ripples that resisted that wall, protecting the Lightning Spirits, there would definitely be a huge problem.
It could be said that Sanzang and Shenming enjoyed a share of the Lightning Spirits’ benefits.
They gave each other a look, and then they displayed heaven reaching earth moving divine abilities, continuously flying up, rushing to the highest point of the city gateway, and then looked forward.
Sure enough, they saw some creatures.
There were some young men and women whose bodies carried hazy light, releasing immortal energy, currently looking at them.
They could see clearly that even though they were extremely young, eyes not carrying great changes, true youngsters, even still a bit immature, they were all extremely pretty and handsome.
These were like exiled immortals. They came out together, carrying young auras, standing there.
Right now, what these individuals revealed were arrogant expressions. They looked down like aristocrats at beggars, from high up above.
