Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 537 - 524

Ascension to Immortality!

Thirty-four Dao Lords directly merged with the guiding force of the Gate of the Immortal Realm. Under the pulling force, they ascended to the Immortal Realm!

The whole process actually did not leave too many traces for the people of the Lower Realm.

Alkaid had already elevated his perception to the limit. According to his perception, these Gates of Immortal Realm seemed more like a part of the cosmic rules' operation, spontaneously guiding all Dao Lord Level beings from the Lower Realm, leading them into a whole new world.

Or perhaps...

It gathered all beings that would cause great destruction in the Lower Realm, allowing them to cultivate together, comprehend together, and progress together.

All operations exhibited a kind of benign mechanism.

This was different from what Alkaid had anticipated; once Dao Lords ascended to the Immortal Realm, he had assumed they would face great danger, perhaps even being hunted directly by the Immortals and Immortal Venerables guarding behind the scenes.

"Some mechanism inherent to the universe itself..."

Alkaid pondered in his heart.

Looking at it this way, entering through the Gate of the Immortal Realm to ascend seemed to be a relatively safe choice.

Of course, he could choose to forcefully tear through the barriers of the Immortal Realm using the Power of the Great Void Path, but...

This action, going against the cosmic rules, held unforeseeable consequences.

Therefore, once he confirmed that both the Gate of the Immortal Realm and its ascension mechanism were merely part of the cosmic rules, he decided to stick to the rules and enter the Immortal Realm in the conventional way, to avoid triggering uncontrollable consequences.

"With my current thorough preparation, as long as I do not encounter an Immortal Venerable while ascending to the Immortal Realm, even if I face guardians who are True Immortals, I can fight and conquer them. At worst, I can withdraw and escape. The safety is relatively assured,"

After coming to a clear understanding, Alkaid felt relieved.

Under the envious gazes of the Dao Lords from the "Sun and Star Sect" and several other Dao Lords, thirty-four Dao Lords ascended successfully.

The Gate of the Immortal Realm remained open for a while, but the pulling force of the thirty-four Paths had been used. The remaining pulling force, having no corresponding Dao Lords, made it difficult for other Dao Lords to be brought into the Immortal Realm; they could only watch helplessly from the side.

Soon, the guiding force of the Gate of the Immortal Realm gradually dissipated, and the streaming light emitting from the gate also faded.

Next, this Gate of the Immortal Realm would enter a restoration period of over nine thousand years.

Yes, nine thousand years.

Although the "Sun and Star Sect" regarded the planet hosting the Gate of the Immortal Realm as their sect's base, they did not excessively draw on the planet's internal energy.

Moreover, the "Sun and Star Sect" also routinely sought various ways to shorten the opening cycle of the Gate of the Immortal Realm, resulting in an average opening time of only nine thousand years.

Of course, now that Alkaid was in charge of this Gate of the Immortal Realm, and no longer investing resources into it, the opening would likely be extended up to ten thousand years.

If he were to set up a Sixteenth Level Formation on this planet as he did in the Fuyao Realm, it would lengthen the gate's opening time even more.

As the Gate of the Immortal Realm closed, many Dao Lords simultaneously bowed and paid their respects to Alkaid.

The Gate of the Immortal Realm, under Alkaid's leadership, did not only dissipate the impending Dao conflict into nothingness but also provided everyone with a relatively fair opportunity to enter the Immortal Realm.

Though it came at no small cost, but...

Compared to staking their lives in the Dao conflict, this cost was undoubtedly more acceptable to many Dao Lords.

Therefore, this act of paying respect was indeed voluntary.

After the ceremony, many Dao Lords departed one after another.

Alkaid then turned his gaze back. "When I come next time, it will likely be the next opening cycle of the Gate of the Immortal Realm. During this period, I need someone to guard the Gate of the Immortal Realm on this planet, are you willing?"

Upon hearing this, the Dao Lord of the sect solemnly bowed: "I am willing to follow Dao Venerable's orders."

For him, being associated with a Dao Venerable was indeed a joyous matter.

After all, the battle in which Alkaid eradicated the "Sun and Star Sect" and the Slaughter Star Alliance made many realize that a Dao Venerable is not like the Golden Light Dao Lord of the "Sun and Star Sect". Although powerful, if caught in the siege of a dozen or more Dao Lords, they would still face only death.

A true Dao Venerable, just as described in the scriptures, had not been exaggerated even in the slightest.

They indeed possessed the supreme power to conquer hundreds by themselves and dominate an era.

Such figures, once they ascended to the Immortal Realm, were bound to rise meteorically with limitless prospects.

Serving such a distinguished figure in advance was not demeaning.

"Good!"

Alkaid calmly took out an Immortal Talisman: "This Talisman Record I crafted is one of a pair. Although it cannot transmit messages, if one is broken, the one in my hand will also break. Take this, and should you face any danger you can't handle, shatter the Immortal Talisman. I will arrive within two hundred years."

"Thank you for your trust, Dao Venerable."

The sect's Dao Lord carefully received the Immortal Talisman, feeling somewhat reassured.

He then added: "Guarding the Gate of the Immortal Realm is probably not something I can do alone. May I gather some like-minded Dao friends to live around the Immortal Gate..."

He quickly added another sentence: "Please rest assured, Dao Venerable, we will certainly not tarnish your reputation."

"You may."

Alkaid said, "You may also act under my name as a Dao Venerable, but if I find you misusing my name for wrongdoing, do not blame me for being merciless."

"We will not disappoint you, Dao Venerable."

The sect's Dao Lord quickly bowed again.

Alkaid nodded.

In sixty years, most of what needed to be done at the Sun and Star Sect had been done.

Moreover, with the time for the Dao conflict at the Northern Sea Star running out, Alkaid could not afford to waste any more time here.

After giving some general instructions to the Dao Lords of the sect lineage, he quickly left the planet.

Watching Alkaid depart, the Dao Lord of the sect lineage also had a complex expression on his face.

After a while, he finally let out a long sigh, "I hope in the next ten thousand years, our star domain can remain peaceful under the prestige of Dao Venerable Alkaid."

...

In the starry sky,

Alkaid used the Stellar Sect to leave the core region of the Sun and Star Sect in an instant.

The ruin of the Sun and Star Sect caused some chaos in this star domain, but since only Dao Lord level beings had fallen, the Dao Lords...

To those at lower ranks, they were always aloof; whether they lived did not impact those below.

Like many countries, the disappearance of upper-tier officials did not affect the operations at lower levels.

At the very least, the operation of various Stellar Sects was still normal.

People ultimately need to survive.

After using the Stellar Sect to leave the core area, Alkaid summoned the Mystical Light Boat.

This Semi-Immortal Artifact Flying Boat, which had served as the main base for the Slaughter Star Alliance, had also been re-refined by him over the years. Although it had not transformed into a true Immortal Artifact, its performance had improved beyond its condition when it was with the Nine Palaces Dao Lord.

At least in terms of speed while traversing the Void, it was faster than his previous top Dao Artifact.

Alkaid piloted the Flying Boat and it took him several decades to reach the Fuyao Realm.

Upon arriving at the Fuyao Realm, he specifically observed for a while and, thanks to the Formation's blockage, this Gate of the Immortal Realm had still not been discovered.

In addition, the opening of this Gate of the Immortal Realm would still require over two thousand eight hundred years.

Unfortunately, compared to the mature Gates of the Northern Sea and Sun and Star, this Gate of Fuyao was relatively new and according to his estimation, its opening cycle was eighteen thousand years.

In other words, many from the Hollow Void might not live to see the Gate of the Immortal Realm open.

"Although eighteen thousand years is a long time, for a Dao Lord, you could witness four or five opportunities in a lifetime,"

Alkaid pondered.

Time was short, and he didn't stay long in the Fuyao Realm.

After realizing that the Fuyao Realm had still not been detected, he once again set off, heading for the Northern Sea Star.

Along the way, he took the time to help Shao Hua forge several Semi-Immortal Artifacts that could grow, even preparing to refine these Semi-Immortal Artifacts into Immortal Artifacts later, to serve as the foundation for a perfect Supreme Holy Artifact.

Yes, a Supreme Holy Artifact.

Shao Hua also had a Supreme Holy Artifact primarily derived from the Path of Time.

This Supreme Holy Artifact was based on the fundamental Time Stream, and after ascending to Supreme Holy Artifact, Alkaid named it the River of Time.

However, compared to the Great Dao Tower, which had integrated many Great Daos, the current River of Time only possessed the powers of Time and the Void.

Fully equipped, plus the mysterious and elusive nature of the Path of Time...

Even though Shao Hua's realm in the Path of Time was only equivalent to that of an ordinary Immortal, it still enabled him to possess combat power beyond an invincible Dao Lord.

Although it fell short of his "Dao Venerable" level combat power, it was more than enough for overseeing the Lower Realm.

"The Northern Sea Star isn't like the Sun and Star Sect, where battles in the star domain quickly mobilize dozens of Dao Lords to fight to the death, but in the Northern Sea Star, the conflicts between major forces tend to be individual duels. Even though there are common defense agreements, these agreements usually only take effect during the Dao conflict period. Once the Dao conflict ends, the agreements need to be re-signed. During the re-signing period, even if a Dao Lord faces danger, other Dao Lords will stand by unless a large price is paid."

Alkaid pondered.

In such a scenario, having Shao Hua stationed in the Northern Sea Star and even controlling the Fuyao Realm was virtually foolproof.

Moreover...

"This time, it might be possible to take advantage of the Dao conflict and directly resolve the Ten Directions Divine Race and the Six Sect of the Demonic Dao."

Alkaid gave a slight smile, then, he seemed to think of something else,

"The Nine Veins of Demon Immortals might also help Penglai Dao Lord tidy up, even though each side in these alliances has nearly ten, or even more than a dozen Dao Lords, but the current me... has indeed changed significantly."

Having experienced the great battle at the Sun and Star Sect, his mentality had unconsciously changed.

Of course, this was mainly related to the substantial increase in his power.

After all, before leaving the Northern Sea Star, he might have been considered powerful, but he was merely at the level of an unbeatable Dao Lord.

But now...

Even if he encountered a real Dao Venerable, only after a fight would the outcome be known.

"After settling the matters at the Northern Sea Star, I can ascend with peace of mind."

Pondering this, Alkaid sped up his return to the Northern Sea Star.

With no delays, and now using the Semi-Immortal Artifact Grade Mystical Light Boat, this return journey was much faster than the trip there.

In just thirty years, the familiar yet strange starry sky of the Northern Sea Star was already close at hand.
