Chapter 1691: The Path to Immortality

The God Clan Old Ancestor couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, let alone others.

The Heaven Clan Old Ancestor, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, including the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor, at this moment everyone's eyes were fixed on that purple-gold Xianmen.

The Xianmen was enormous, almost occupying the entire sky; a person standing before it appeared as tiny as an ant.

At the same time, from within the Xianmen came an ancient aura; even the God Clan Old Ancestor and other such ancestral existences unconsciously felt a palpitation.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, within the Xianmen slowly appeared a picture of green mountains and white clouds.

Like a scroll, the scenery was beautiful, unconsciously giving a sense of tranquility.

And upon seeing the scene projected from within the Xianmen, someone couldn't help but speak.

"Is... this the scenery of the Immortal Realm?"

"It must be; this is definitely the scenery of the Immortal Realm."

"The method of longevity........."

Looking at the scene within the Xianmen, everyone could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts; this is the Immortal Realm that possesses the method of longevity—who wouldn't want eternal life?

But just then, a sudden change occurred; the Heavenly Dao Power that had been frenziedly pouring into the Xianmen inexplicably slowed down.

Although Heavenly Dao Power continued to pour into the Xianmen without cease, its speed was now over a hundred times slower than before.

And as the Heavenly Dao Power diminished, the Xianmen gradually stabilized, no longer constantly changing as before.

This sudden change left everyone present stunned; someone speculated whether the Xianmen had already taken shape.

Only the God Clan Old Ancestor furrowed his brows, because this situation was completely unlike the information his God Clan possessed.

The Xianmen now has not yet fully taken shape.

He tried forming seals again, but this time, no matter how hard the God Clan Old Ancestor strove, the Heavenly Dao Power of the Haotu World gave no response whatsoever.

It seemed to have its own will, still pouring into the Xianmen at an unhurried pace, with no intention to stop, nor to speed up because of the God Clan Old Ancestor's actions.

In short, this Heavenly Dao Power is now uncontrollable.

Faced with this change, the God Clan Old Ancestor spoke with an unpleasant expression.

"The Xianmen is not yet formed........."

Upon hearing this, the Heaven Clan Old Ancestor, the Human Emperor Palace Old Ancestor, and those beside them all wore doubtful expressions.

"What should we do now?"

"What do you mean by that? Can we not enter the Immortal Realm?"

"You old thing, have you failed?"

Everyone felt unavoidable disappointment, yet the God Clan Old Ancestor gave no answer.

Instead, he stepped step by step toward the Xianmen; for a moment, everyone's gaze locked onto him.

After all, among the myriad worlds, only the God Clan knows the Immortal Realm best.

Having spent so much time, other major powers lack the God Clan's obsession; thus, now that the Xianmen has encountered a problem, the person most likely to resolve it is none other than the God Clan Old Ancestor.

Others don't even have a clue how to cope.

Under everyone's gaze, the God Clan Old Ancestor step by step approached beneath the Xianmen, raising his head to behold its towering form.

The God Clan Old Ancestor slowly extended his right hand, as if trying to pierce through the Xianmen.

But the next second, the God Clan Old Ancestor felt his palm blocked by something; at a distance of a cun from the Xianmen, he could not advance even an inch.

Even exerting all his strength, he could not budge the Xianmen in the slightest, not even causing a ripple.

After several attempts, the God Clan Old Ancestor finally confirmed that he currently could not pass through the Xianmen; the Xianmen is still not fully formed.

Watching the Heavenly Dao Power still continuously pouring into the Xianmen, at this rate it would likely take years for the Haotu World's Heavenly Dao Power to fully fill the Xianmen.

In other words, they still need to wait years before they can pass through the Xianmen to enter the Immortal Realm.

After stating his speculation frankly to the other ancestors, upon hearing it, the remaining few ancestors each furrowed their brows.

"A span of several years isn't long; we can still wait."

"That may be so, but what if another change occurs during this period?"

"Do you say the Xianmen might have some restriction, or rather the conditions for entry?"

This.................

A span of several years, to those present, is actually not long—just the time of a closed-door cultivation.

But what's frightening is the fear that something else might happen during this period; after all, no one can say for sure.

And at this moment the Eternal Night Old Ancestor proposed that the Xianmen now appears to have been successfully opened.

Yet these ancestral existences cannot pass through; could there be some condition or limitation for entry?

Upon hearing this, the remaining few ancestors first were stunned, then after a moment of contemplation they said.

"There is this possibility."

"Find someone to try it."

"Okay."

After a few ancestors consulted, they quickly decided to give it a try.

After all, at present the Xianmen appears to have taken preliminary shape, and moreover the Haotu World's Heavenly Dao Power is fundamentally beyond their control.

With no other recourse, they could only seek another path, to see if there might be a better method.

Having reached a decision, the ancestors began arranging people to go test the Xianmen.

Regarding the Xianmen, everyone is completely ignorant; even though the God Clan has researched for years and grasped many clues, questions remain many.

And as many cultivators conducted tests, the secrets of the Xianmen were gradually unearthed.

Throughout the process, the Xianmen showed no trace of lethality, which also allowed the cultivators who initially went to test it to feel much more at ease.

After all, their lives faced no threat; it was simply that they could not enter.

And accompanying the tests of many cultivators, eventually someone succeeded in entering the Xianmen.

Seeing this, the God Clan Old Ancestor and the others each wore a look of astonishment.

After several attempts, everyone concluded that the only condition for entering the Xianmen at present is bone age.

The Xianmen has its own method of testing bone age, and it is extremely accurate.

At present, only those whose bone age does not exceed three hundred years can successfully enter the Xianmen.

This discovery left the God Clan Old Ancestor and the others both shocked and delighted, and they began to speculate.

"The Xianmen probably can't yet bear too many people, which is why there is a bone‑age limit."

"We likely have to wait until the Heavenly Dao Power is fully infused into the Xianmen before we get a chance to pass through."

"That seems to be the case."

"Then shall we just wait here?"

For now, besides waiting there seems to be nothing else to do; after the elders discussed it, the God Clan Old Ancestor turned his gaze to the few young people who had just entered the Xianmen successfully and asked.

"What did you see when you just passed through the Xianmen?"

These youngsters had only just entered the Xianmen; to be precise, they had merely poked their heads in.

Even so, they must have glimpsed the scene beyond the Xianmen, and the elders were curious about it as well.

What lies beyond passing through the Xianmen—does it lead straight to the Immortal Realm, or how?
