Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 567 - 554 Immortal Realm
"Ascended."
"All the Dao Lords have ascended, transforming into immortals, achieving eternal longevity."
"The struggle for the Dao is coming to an end, but for us True Monarchs, it is the most perilous moment. Soon, Dao Lords from beyond our heavens will attack, and we must stand together in retreat."
As the brilliance of the Gate of the Immortal Realm dimmed once more, the True Monarchs surrounding it looked on with envy, yet became serene.
Among them were True Monarchs like Martial Saint, True Monarch Tianxiao, True Monarch Yingfeng, True Monarch Jingmo, True Monarch Ni Chang, True Monarch Jing Hong, True Monarch Xuandu, True Monarch Xujin, Taiyuan True Monarch, True Monarch Shi Lin, and Zhen Xuanyuan.
"Integrating the Dao and ascending, huh."
Zhen Xuanyuan looked at the figures disappearing into the dimming light of the Gate of the Immortal Realm, his expression filled with myriad emotions.
This lifetime held no hope for him to integrate the Dao.
But, recalling his experiences over the past millennium, having witnessed a legend rise from the Hollow Void to Dao Lord, then dominate the starry heavens as a Dao Lord, and establish the supreme reputation of an Invincible Dao Venerable...
This life was indeed worthwhile.
Not just him, but Taiyuan True Monarch, True Monarch Shi Lin, True Monarch Xuandu, and others also wore faces full of emotion.
They were helmsmen of the Ten Great Immortal Paths, in an era without Dao Lords, almost sovereigns of the Northern Sea Star.
Yet even in their time as True Monarchs, Alkaid's brilliance shone like the midday sun, dazzling and blinding countless others.
Let alone his subsequent attainment of Dao Lord status, forcefully ending a Dao struggle with his epochal strength and establishing his name as an Invincible Dao Venerable with the blood of over a hundred Dao Lords.
"Alright everyone, let's return to the Sect. Our ancestral Dao Lords have ascended. The future will usher in our era."
Spoke True Monarch Tianxiao, top of the Dao Lord Reserve List.
Martial Saint and others nodded in agreement: "Although the Northern Sea Star might not produce another legendary figure like Dao Venerable Alkaid for the next hundred thousand or even million years, as long as we keep striving, the future… might not preclude us from reaching Dao Lord status, following his footsteps, and perhaps even reuniting with him in the Immortal Realm one day."
Their words made many true monarchs on the Dao Lord Reserve List nod in agreement.
At this moment, they all took Alkaid as their example.
Even though they knew they might not reach his heights, they could still...
Use Alkaid as a goal for their efforts and struggles.
At this, True Monarch Ni Chang teased True Monarchs Yingfeng and Jingmo, laughing: "Speaking of which, when you two returned to the Northern Sea Star a thousand years ago, upon hearing of Dao Venerable Alkaid's deeds, you both were keen on challenging him, assessing his true worth from his position on the Dao Lord Reserve List. Now, hundreds of years later, neither of you stirred? Now that he has ascended, do you plan to delay this challenge until you meet him in the Immortal Realm?"
She only dared to joke about this after Alkaid's ascension.
While other Dao Lords were alive, she wouldn't dare joke about Dao Venerable Alkaid without facing a scolding from Jun Tian Dao Lord.
True Monarchs Yingfeng and Jingmo exchanged glances, True Monarch Yinglong chuckled bitterly: "True Monarch Ni Chang, please stop teasing us. Back then we were too young, not knowing the vastness of heaven and earth, belittling everyone due to our small achievements. If I take disciples in the future, I will use this as a lesson to warn them against arrogance and to understand that there are always greater people and higher heavens."
"True Monarch also said, Dao Venerable Alkaid, a Dao Venerable... If he were a Dao Lord, I might still dare to contend when I reach that realm, but as a Dao Venerable..."
True Monarch Jingmo also shook his head.
After listening, True Monarch Ni Chang did not continue further.
"Alright everyone, let's not waste any more time. The end of each Dao struggle is the prime time for Dao Lords to emerge. Next, let's see who among us can be the first to break through to the realm of Dao Lord."
Said True Monarch Tianxiao.
The other True Monarchs nodded.
It was Martial Saint True Monarch, however, who chuckled bitterly: "Although every struggle ends with the immediate emergence of Dao Lords in our Northern Sea Star, this time, I fear I might falter… Up to now, I haven't felt the slightest resonance with the Great Dao."
His words also left many slightly stunned.
"It seems I am in the same situation…"
"Perhaps, since our generation didn't participate in a Dao struggle, we haven't experienced the life-and-death battles, hence lacking the necessary foundation?"
Soon, another True Monarch echoed this sentiment.
"It must be so."
True Monarch Tianxiao felt the same, yet he was quite positive: "Everyone, don't worry too much. Even though we lack the tempering of life-and-death battles in the Dao struggle, I believe, with our foundation, once we have settled for some time, we will inevitably grasp the opportunity to challenge the Dao, thus opening our own epoch as Dao Lords."
The other True Monarchs nodded.
Then, True Monarch Yingfeng bowed with clasped hands: "Gentlemen, until we meet again as Dao Lords."
"Until we meet again as Dao Lords."
After completing their respectful farewells, they quickly dispersed with the True Monarchs of their respective Sects.
And those like True Monarch Xuandu, True Monarch Jing Hong, Taiyuan True Monarch, and Zhen Xuanyuan, who were not on the Dao Lord Reserve List, watched these spirited top figures with envy.
They hadn't reached the pinnacle of the True Monarch stage and were still lacking in the final touches to become Dao Lords.
And perhaps would never reach that ultimate step of Perfection.
The upcoming era of Dao Lords...
Was destined not to include them but belonged to these top talents from the Dao Lord Reserve List.
Who knows, in the coming hundreds or thousands of years, which of these many talented candidates present here today...
Would have their names celebrated like Dao Venerable Alkaid.
It's pointless to think of Dao Venerable Alkaid now.
Throughout the history of Northern Sea Star, such cases are extremely rare.
It is still unknown which True Monarch, like Penglai Dao Lord, will be revered by the world and honored as the foremost individual of Northern Sea.
...
The various True Monarchs of Northern Sea Star look to the future, discussing who will be the first to achieve Dao Lord status and who will lead the trend in the imminent era of Dao Venerable. Meanwhile, Alkaid, afar in the deep starry sky, has already embarked on his return journey aboard his Immortal Artifact Flying Boat.
On his way back, he not only enriches his foundation in the Immortal Realm by browsing through the numerous scriptures from the Gate of Eternal Life but also searches for Dao Lords along the way.
With the Composite Immortal Technique of Sky Rift Flowing Light, his traveling efficiency is extremely high, speeding through billions of light years without much delay.
While his main body rushes back, his Shao Hua clone, drawn by the Time Great Dao, officially ascends to the Immortal Realm through the Gate of the Immortal Realm.
Since they share a soul, and the Lustrous Treasure Tree is rooted deep within his soul,
he can even gain a glimpse into the operation of the Three Thousand Great Daos and the Immortal Realm under the effect of High-Dimensional Cognition.
And...
The mist belonging to Chaotic Origin Realm that envelops the Immortal Realm and the Three Thousand Great Daos.
It's just as Alkaid had learned earlier.
Dao Lords ascend from the Gate of the Immortal Realm to the Immortal Realm; there isn't any Ascension Platform or Sect powers waiting for them behind.
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Each Ascender follows the pull of the Great Dao and will be positioned in different realms.
Moreover, because of special Perception between the Great Daos, the ultimate regions they are placed in are those where Perception and interference are weaker.
These areas tend to be desolate and uninhabited.
Like now...
When Alkaid actually appears in the Immortal Realm, it is indeed a desolate wilderness.
The moment he lands in this wilderness, he distinctly feels the even more stringent rules of the Three Thousand Great Daos, like a vast net, binding every plant and creature of this world.
Even his Time clone, whose combat power is comparable to that of the Invincible Dao Lord Level, can clearly feel the restrictions the Three Thousand Great Daos impose on himself.
In such a world, not to mention obliterating tens of thousands of miles with a single Dao Technique, it's even uncertain whether he could destroy ten thousand miles.
"Immortal Realm."
Alkaid muttered these two words, unbothered by these changes.
Not only had he learned enough about the Immortal Realm from the Gate of Eternal Life, but the other Dao Lords were also aware of the environmental conditions of the Immortal Realm.
Every planet that has a Gate of the Immortal Realm on it is significantly strengthened by the rules flowing from the Gate of the Immortal Realm.
Just the power of the Great Dao that leaks from the Gate of the Immortal Realm has this effect, let alone the actual Immortal Realm...
It's normal for the Three Thousand Great Daos to strongly bind every plant and creature.
Moreover, the Immortal Realm doesn't just house Dao Lords, but also Immortals, Immortal Venerables, Immortal Kings, and Daoist Ancestors.
Similar to planets like Northern Sea Star where hundreds of Dao Lords battling might collapse or shatter it, if the Immortal Realm weren't substantially sturdy, how could it allow such release of powers by so many?
"The vastness of the Immortal Realm... I wonder how many tens of millions of miles..."
Alkaid looked up.
Above his head weren't the stars and moon, but two great gates.
These two gates, hanging in the sky like the sun and the moon, emanated a terrifying power, inciting a resonance in the world and maintaining the basic operational rules of the Immortal Realm.
But around the two gates, nine palaces could faintly be seen, forming an array around them.
This...
"Nine Major Groups."
Alkaid uttered.
This is the greatest challenge he will face upon arriving in the Immortal Realm.
However, before encountering the Nine Major Groups, he still has more important tasks at hand.
"Enrollment."
Alkaid senses the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Subsequently, through the omnipresent Three Thousand Great Daos, he also perceives another mysterious force.
That is...
The power of the Chaotic Origin Realm.
In the entire Immortal Realm, the Chaotic Origin Realm's power has almost integrated completely with the Three Thousand Great Daos, indistinguishable from each other.
Except for the Gate of Destiny and Gate of Cause and Effect, wherever there is the presence of the Three Thousand Great Daos, there is also the presence of Chaotic Origin Realm's power.
Any immortal spirit from the Chaotic Origin Realm can link up authority with the Master of Primordial Yi through permissions, and even borrow its power to descend into the Immortal Realm.
Now, as Alkaid activates the authority branches on [Immortal Spirits], he quickly feels his Perception entering a vast virtual world, a world of data.
In an instant, he senses millions of Immortal Spirits.
