Chapter 1203: Peak of the Cloud Sea, The Ninth Rule

The sky was blue, faintly glowing, spreading out to envelop the earth. Immortal Beasts, wreathed in Immortal Qi and quite graceful in appearance, swayed as they moved through the sky.

The entire world was peaceful. Amidst the clamor of voices, countless Immortals arrived from afar, treading on Immortal winds, chatting and laughing while pointing below, as if discussing something.

Across the land, mountain peaks stood like a forest. In the distance, rivers seemed to murmur, and Immortal Qi permeated the air. Looking from afar, there were even clusters of Immortal mist, making this place exquisitely beautiful.

On the ground, countless Immortals sat cross-legged, seemingly forming a massive Formation. This Formation covered an area of about ten thousand li, and the Immortals sitting within it were countless.

"By the decree of the Ancient Immortal Realm, construct the Gate to Immortality and welcome the True Immortals of the Ancient Immortal Realm to the world!" A majestic voice echoed throughout this world, spreading across the entire Immortal Realm.

The moment this voice appeared, within the ten-thousand-li Formation on the ground, those Immortals immediately formed Hand Seals and released Immortal power, merging it into the Formation, causing the earth to rumble.

Everything around them immediately began to twist, as if in disarray. A vast ripple slowly pushed and spread outward. As the ripples expanded, the mountains, rivers, and everything in the Immortal Realm emitted thick Immortal Qi. This Immortal Qi was all absorbed into the ripples and then spread further away.

"Take the mountain of the East, to be the left side of the Gate to Immortality!"

The voice sounded again. All the Immortals on the ground simultaneously murmured. In the far east of the Immortal Realm, a mountain peak piercing the clouds collapsed with a boom. Shaking, a large amount of rubble condensed. This mountain peak instantly separated from the earth, floated into mid-air, and rushed here at high speed.

During its journey, the mountain peak continuously collapsed, eventually becoming a square stone pillar, which crashed onto the ground here.

The ground shook, and the voice sounded again.

"Take the mountain of the West, to be the right side of the Gate to Immortality!"

In the far west, another towering mountain peak moved with a boom, transformed into a square stone pillar, and landed on the ground.

"Take the mountain range of the South, to be the top of the Gate to Immortality!"

In the south of the Immortal Realm, there was a mountain range like a Dragon. The moment this voice rang out, the continuous mountain range shook violently. With a booming sound, it was as if a Dragon raised its head, coiled, and moved. The mountain range was forcefully lifted from the earth and headed straight here!

Gradually, the mountain range approached, shrinking as it collapsed. With a boom, it landed on the two stone pillars!

"Take the land of the North, to be the Gate to Immortality!" This voice suddenly rang out again. Immediately, the northern land of the Immortal Realm shook violently. With cracking sounds, Rifts appeared on the ground. As they continuously extended, a rectangular piece of land was separated!

This rectangular land rose into the sky, gradually arriving here. As it continuously shrank and condensed, it turned into a huge door, embedded within the three pillars!

"Sacrifice to the Immortals!"

The moment the door was formed, almost all the Immortals simultaneously let out that earth-shaking sound. Following that, the ripples that had previously spread across the entire Immortal Realm, having absorbed a large amount of Immortal Qi, madly rolled back, sweeping across everything as they condensed toward the door.

Rumbling sounds echoed. As the ripples contracted, thick Immortal Qi merged into this huge door, making it seem as if it had become the Gate to Immortality!

"The Ancient Immortal Realm has decreed: when the door opens, the Immortal Realm shall descend!"

The scene changed again. It seemed that a long time had passed. The Immortal Realm was still the Immortal Realm, but the charming glow in the sky had disappeared. The entire Immortal Realm was permeated with a smell of blood. Screams before death echoed, and the earth rumbled continuously as Rifts were torn open.

The sky was stirred with turbidity, as if ink had been poured into clear water, gradually turning pitch black. In the distance, streaks of light from Immortals transformed into long rainbows, rushing straight here. There were dozens of these Immortals, but as they sped along, the three people at the back suddenly trembled, then collapsed with a bang, turning into flesh and blood that fell to the ground.

The miserable sounds continued to fill the air.

Those dozens of Immortals struggled to reach the front of the door, prostrating on the ground. The leader's voice was shrill, filled with sorrow, as he roared toward the great door, the sound shaking the heavens.

"The Gate to Immortality has been built for forty thousand years. True Immortals of the Ancient Immortal Realm, why have you not yet descended!!"

The huge stone door was the same as when it was built years ago, without any changes. The door panel made of the continent was also the same as it was back then, without any cracks, let alone opening.

Just as that voice rang out, several more of the Immortals prostrating on the ground trembled. Fear appeared in their eyes, but in an instant, their bodies collapsed with a bang, and blood splattered onto the others, onto their faces, a shocking sight.

"Back then, the Ancient Immortal Realm left a decree that a great calamity would befall the Sealed Realm and that the Gate to Immortality must be built to resolve the catastrophe. Today the calamity has arrived, True Immortals of the Ancient Immortal Realm, why will you not save us!!"

On the distant horizon, hundreds more Immortals turned into long rainbows. Amidst constant death, they arrived here and prostrated on the ground. Slowly, more and more Immortals arrived. They all had expressions of grief as they looked at the huge door, letting out unwilling shouts.

"If the True Immortals of the Ancient Immortal Realm will not save us, we shall save ourselves! Even if we die, we will die in the Immortal Realm!" One of the prostrating Immortals suddenly looked up, stood up, and with madness, rushed directly into the sky. But waiting for him was a booming sound of collapse!

Flesh and blood scattered, falling to the ground. Some even landed on the huge door, but compared to it, this blood was far, far too little.

More blood scattered and fell onto the bodies of the Immortals below. They all raised their heads, madness appearing in their eyes, and in an instant, they rushed out, heading straight for the sky!

"Even if we die, we will die in the Immortal Realm!"

As these Immortals continuously rose into the sky, that booming sound of collapse suddenly came. Sweeping across, these Immortals collapsed one by one. Under this strange power, they had absolutely no ability to resist!

More blood fell onto the stone door, dotting it with spots, filling the air with a tragic atmosphere.

Just then, the darkness in the sky suddenly surged. The entire sky of the Immortal Realm, in this instant, condensed madly. As the darkness continuously gathered, a finger surrounded by black Qi suddenly protruded from the sky, carrying an earth-shaking whistle, and poked toward the stone door!

This finger was huge. After it appeared, all the Cultivators who collided with it collapsed and died one by one. Finally, the finger seemed to have absorbed all the darkness in the sky and descended to the ground. The fingertip, wreathed in black Qi, landed on the huge stone door, on the door panel composed of the continent!

Boom, boom, boom!

A violent sound in this instant overpowered all other sounds in the world. As the fingertip landed, the door immediately showed a large number of cracks, and then, with a boom, it collapsed!

It shattered into pieces!

At this very moment, the earth rumbled. Like the door panel, cracks spread crazily. At the edges of the entire Immortal Realm, more than ten pieces were forcefully split open and torn outward.

Amidst this continuous collapse, the Immortal Realm shattered!

The earth shook and was divided into countless fragments. Amidst the rumbling, the entire Immortal Realm became ruins, but the collapse did not stop; instead, it became even more intense.

A destructive aura spread out, crushing all existing living beings!

After a long time, the trembling of the earth stopped. The entire collapsed Immortal Realm was silent, with no further sound coming from it. The darkness in the sky gradually disappeared, and finally, it left no trace. Only that huge door, having lost its door panel, remained as just a frame, still standing in the world, motionless.

The scene changed again. It is unknown how much more time had passed. In the deepest part of the silent Immortal Realm, a Rift suddenly appeared in the world. This Rift was about ten thousand zhang long. Inside was a dim light, and one could faintly see that it was a starry sky. In the starry sky, there was a purple planet, filled with countless hideous Vicious Beasts. These Vicious Beasts were all the same, the most prominent feature being that huge mouthpart!

They swarmed over, passed through the Rift, and appeared in the Wind Immortal Realm.

Wang Lin woke up, looking at that huge stone door. Just a moment ago, he had merged with it and seen the memory of this stone door. After a moment of silence, Wang Lin's eyes flickered, and his body rose in a flash, stepping directly into the sky. Facing the wailing of the wind, he continued to rise until he arrived at the top of this huge stone door and sat down cross-legged.

From this position, one could overlook the entire Immortal Realm. In this position, the wind was even fiercer! The wind blowing on his body was like a knife, and it blew his white hair into a flurry, his clothes making a flapping sound.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Lin closed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in that strange state, feeling the vast aura of this Gate to Immortality. This time, he merged with this door, and gradually, in his mind, a blurred door also appeared.

Only by containing the stone door in one's heart could one take it away.

However, the door that appeared in his mind was not clear. It seemed to be always unable to fully condense into shape amidst the blur. Within it, Wang Lin slowly felt that there were eight strange forces surrounding it. It was precisely because of the existence of these eight forces that the door imprinted in his mind could not be clear.

This stone door was different from the Fading Night that Wang Lin had realized on the cliff by the sea back then. In that previous realization, there was only one rule in the world; he did not need to choose, he only needed to bring it into his heart.

But now it was different. In his realization, Wang Lin saw that these eight strange forces were eight types of world rules. If he wanted to keep them all, then this stone door would never take shape, unless he could sit here until he died. After countless years, if he did not die, and his cultivation reached the shattered nirvana Great Perfection, then there would be a glimmer of possibility.

Obviously, Wang Lin would not choose this path. His mind merged with those eight rules. As he was observing, his mind suddenly moved, and his whole body trembled slightly.

"Outside of these eight rules, there is still one more rule!" Wang Lin's eyes suddenly opened, staring straight at the huge stone door beneath him.

On this stone door, a desolate aura of time permeated. This was an aura that naturally existed after an object had reached a certain age. Originally, it was not unusual; on some ancient Cultivation Planets, this aura of time would be even stronger.

However, for some reason, the traces of time on this stone door had undergone a mutation. This mutation was just like the change in a Cultivator's Concept, sublimating from time to eternity!

Time and eternity were always two different Concepts with the same Origin but different levels!

I will be leaving the Wind Immortal Realm soon, everyone, do not be impatient. The power of Wang Lin's second self-created Divine Ability will shake the Cloud Sea, haha.
