Chapter 616: Ascension Immortal Gate
Immortal energy is like aura, and no one knows where it comes from.
It is said that when the heavens and the earth first opened, the origin of the world was a wisp of Hongmeng qi. And this Hongmeng qi gradually thinned, and it became the immortal qi that built a fairyland. When the immortal qi is also thin, it becomes the aura contained in heaven and earth.
When the aura is strong, it can be converted into mana in the cultivator's body, and when it is thin, it can only be converted into internal force in the cultivator's body.
That is to say, from the point of view of the origin, the aura, the immortal qi, and even the Hongmeng qi should be fundamentally the same. But some people say that quantitative change produces qualitative change, and when the aura turns into immortal qi and immortal qi turns into Hongmeng qi, there will be essential changes, so it should not be counted as the same thing.
Ling Hao didn't know what the difference was between immortal qi and Hongmeng qi. But he knew that there was indeed a big difference between immortal qi and aura.
In the Tianlong Continent, only in the treasure land where the aura is extremely strong, there will be the birth of immortal qi. Moreover, the immortal qi is extremely rare, even the top sect forces in the Tianlong Continent have very little capital to be able to use this precious immortal qi to cultivate. And as long as a wisp of immortal qi enters the body, even if thousands of years have passed, it will not be assimilated by the spiritual energy in the body.
Therefore, Ling Hao is also more inclined to the latter, between the immortal qi and the aura and the Hongmeng qi, the three can be transformed into each other, but there is already an essential difference.
There is also a legend that the predecessor of the Heavenly Dragon Continent was once part of the Immortal Realm. And the fairy world, as the name suggests, the aura of heaven and earth that should exist there has been replaced by immortal qi. In other words, the entire world of the fairy world is made up of immortal energy.
It's just that this legend is even more ethereal, no one knows where the fairy world is, and no one dares to believe that such a precious immortal qi can constitute a world in quantity.
It's just that the fairy world can't be found, but the immortal energy is real. In the Heavenly Dragon Continent, although immortal qi is precious, it also has many uses in addition to cultivation. For example, a magic weapon refined with immortal qi is naturally called an immortal weapon. This kind of treasure can't even be controlled by the powerhouses of the God Realm.
Therefore, feeling the familiar immortal qi fluctuations on the small tower in front of him made Ling Hao very shocked.
Hearing this, the Heavenly Cicada Immortal glanced at Ling Hao and said, "You shouldn't have been born in this realm, right?" In fact, in the old man's time, the immortal qi was already quite thin. Except for that place, all the immortal weapons could not escape the destruction of the law, and in the world, there should be no immortal qi to be found. ”
Facing the divine soul of the Heavenly Cicada Immortal, Ling Hao had no intention of concealing it, and simply explained his origin. After hearing this, the cicada immortal looked melancholy, and said: "Alas, it is really a vicissitudes of life, and things are not people." ”
Ling Hao said: "But now, the aura outside has begun to slowly recover, and the laws of heaven and earth have gradually loosened their shackles. Before this, only the powerhouses of the Void God Realm could exist on the earth, and now the God Realm can also descend. I believe that after another 10,000 years, the prosperity of the earth's martial arts is just around the corner. ”
The Heavenly Cicada Immortal nodded and said, "The old man also feels the change in the laws of the Heavenly Dao. It's just that the old man vaguely remembers that the catastrophe back then, like today's aura recovery, is not simple, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"
Hearing what the Heavenly Cicada Immortal said, Ling Hao couldn't help but feel moved.
He originally thought that the changes in the laws of the earth were normal periodic laws. But listening to the meaning of the cicada immortals, this matter seems to have another inside story. It's a pity that the cicada immortal only left a wisp of divine soul, only part of the memory, but he can't tell what's wrong.
The Heavenly Cicada Immortal didn't bother with this matter, and said: "As for this Seven Meteorite Tower, it is not considered to be an immortal weapon. This pagoda was handed down from ancient times, and it was indeed refined by immortal qi, and it was hidden in that place to avoid the destruction of the Heavenly Dao. The last time that place was opened, the old man got this tower from it, and he didn't dare to use it much. ”
Ling Hao saw that there was a plaque on the door of the tower, which read "Seven Falls", and he didn't know what it meant. Perhaps because of this, the Heavenly Cicada Immortal called it the Seven Meteorite Tower.
But now, compared to the tower itself, Ling Hao was more interested in the words of the Heavenly Cicada Immortal.
"Senior, what kind of place are you talking about?"
Ling Hao couldn't help asking.
The Heavenly Cicada Immortal said: "There is not much immortal energy left between heaven and earth back then. The laws of heaven and earth cannot tolerate immortals, and the name of that place has become taboo. However, if the Dao is released from imprisonment today, it should be directly called by its name. We all call it 'Xianmen'. ”
"Xianmen?"
Ling Hao's heart jumped. Although the name is simple, but the "Immortal Gate" in the mouths of the ancient immortal cultivators, could it be that it really leads to the immortal world?
The Heavenly Cicada Immortal said: "It seems that the laws of heaven and earth are indeed no longer imprisoned. Xianmen, also called 'Shengxian Gate'. I remember that in my time, the Upper God Realm was the pinnacle. But earlier, those great powers cultivated to the extreme, and they could reach a more mysterious world through the Ascending Immortal Gate. ”
"There are very few cultivators who have passed through the Ascension Immortal Gate who have returned here, and there are even fewer records about that world. Therefore, the old man has only heard a few words, saying that the martial arts there are more prosperous, and what is abundant between heaven and earth is no longer aura, but real immortal qi!"
Ling Hao listened, and the more he listened, the more he felt that what the Heavenly Cicada Immortal was talking about was the legendary immortal realm of the Heavenly Dragon Continent.
The Heavenly Cicada Immortal said with some regret at this time: "Alas, that is the era of the true martial arts. Later, the old man stopped at the god realm, although he had also been to the fairy gate, he could only see the heavy dead air inside the fairy gate. I can't imagine what a grand occasion it must have been when someone really passed the Immortal Ascension Gate in the past!"
Ling Hao listened, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
If there is really an immortal realm on top of the Tianlong Continent, the earth, and even all the small worlds, then what a style the immortal realm should be!
Thinking like this, Ling Hao suddenly had a strange guess in his mind.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Senior, since you have been to the Ascension Immortal Gate, where is this Ascension Immortal Gate?" Now as far as I know, there is no such place in the outside world. ”
The Heavenly Cicada Immortal said: "If you want to say where the Ascension Immortal Gate is, the old man really can't say." It's ethereal and adrift. In ancient times, it was opened once every thousand years, and it was opened for a hundred years at a time, and it was necessary to devour countless heaven and earth spiritual qi and accumulate for a long time to maintain the open state. ”
"The last time the old man entered the Ascension Gate, some people speculated that it was also the last time the Ascension Gate was opened. After that, the aura will deplete more rapidly, and the cultivation environment will continue to deteriorate. After the old man fell, it was not clear whether the Ascension Gate had been opened again, but for so many years, he had not felt the familiar fluctuations again, and it should have been closed. ”
