Chapter 578 Blood and Flesh Fishing Gate, Stepping into Forbidden Immortal Realm
Keep your mind focused.

Following behind the old beggar, Li Wushou felt as if he were in a whirlpool.

His figure appeared to be moving in one direction, but the surrounding void was constantly changing, causing his divine sense to become chaotic.

Even at the very end, Li Wushou was unsure whether he was actually moving forward.

The old beggar who was originally in front of him had also disappeared. Only the incense smoke wrapped around his wrist was slightly hot and straightened.

I don't know how much time passed, but my chaotic mind was jolted awake.

"arrive!"

Hearing the old beggar's reminder, Li Wushou looked closely and found himself standing in a burial ground.

Everywhere you look, there are piles of bones.

Due to the passage of time, these bones had long since decayed and turned gray, and no trace of life remained.

However, the speckled gold on the remains suggests that these people must have been extraordinary in life.

It's either a major transformation where the physical body is unrefined and the bones undergo a metamorphosis.

They are either deities who have attained immortality through the practice of burning incense and offering sacrifices.

Considering the legends about the Abyss of the Sea, Li Wushou leans more towards the latter.

It seems that many divine kingdoms were indeed buried here.

As my mind radiated outwards, this place seemed like an isolated island, or perhaps a chamber in the void.

It covers an area of ​​only a few hundred miles and should be a fragment of a continent.

The old beggar stood with his hands behind his back, unusually quiet.

After a moment, once Li Wushou had surveyed his surroundings, the old beggar slowly said:
"This fishing spot is perfect!"

Li Wushou glanced at the old beggar and then nodded.

He then took out the piece of flesh and blood of the Venerable Beasts who had brought back by his Golden Core clone.

The old beggar walked up to Li Wushou, took the money, and placed it at his feet.

With a flick of his wrist, an incense burner appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing this, Li Wushou's mind stirred.

This incense burner is the one that they usually use to burn incense on the offering table inside the Three Immortals Pavilion.

However, at this moment, although it still looks like it was made of yellow clay, it seems to be somewhat different from before.

The old beggar gently tossed the incense burner, and it floated in front of Li Wushou.

At the same time, the old beggar said softly:
"Light an incense stick!"

Li Wushou raised an eyebrow.

"Burning incense?"

After glancing at the incense burner, Li Wushou understood what the old beggar meant.

This wasn't the kind of incense he would casually stick out when he needed to create a fragrant atmosphere.

Instead, they actually followed the official procedures of the Sanxian Hall to offer incense!
The incense offerings at the Three Immortals Pavilion have always been unique, and this was the first time Li Wushou had offered incense in this way outside the pavilion.

Li Wushou nodded slightly and accepted the three golden incense sticks offered by the old beggar.

This golden incense was the first time Li Wushou had ever seen it. The incense inside was exceptionally pure, clearly prepared by the old beggar on purpose.

Seeing the old beggar's solemn expression, Li Wushou also became serious.

The three golden incense sticks ignited without fire. Li Wushou stepped forward and, following a special procedure, placed the incense sticks in the incense burner, whereupon smoke instantly rose into the air.

At the same time, the ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out across the land within a radius of a hundred miles.

Those were the white bones trembling.

Then, the three golden incense sticks burst into flames at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, the incense sticks were burned out.

Seeing this, the old beggar waved his sleeve, and the incense burner disappeared into the air.

The incense smoke that lingered in mid-air was transformed into a gentle breeze by the old beggar's wave of his hand, sweeping across every corner of the earth.

The old beggar looked sorrowful and bowed deeply in all directions.

This time, however, no "begging" was made.

The whole process seems to be solely for the purpose of sacrifice?

Before Li Wushou could think further, he saw the bowing old beggar straighten up again and suddenly utter a soft shout:
"Please help me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, gentle breezes gathered from all directions. Upon closer inspection, the mottled gold specks on the bones floated and sank in the breeze, eventually gathering above the old beggar's head.

In an instant, it transformed into a golden fishing rod.

The old beggar reached out and took it, simultaneously exhaling a puff of incense smoke that swirled around the tip of the fishing rod. The other side of the smoke drifted down and bound to the Yang Shen flesh and blood of the Beast Venerable.

With a slight movement of the foot, the fishing rod jerked.

The old beggar solemnly proclaimed:
"Within the ultimate yang, one can see the ultimate yin; at the moment of the alternation between ultimate yang and ultimate yin, one can glimpse the 'one' that has vanished!"

The moment he finished drinking, the old beggar threw the Yang God flesh and blood of the Beast Venerable into the void.

The void was layered upon layered, indistinct and unclear.

But not long after, Li Wushou suddenly felt his Daoist spirit body and mind stagnate, and his many Daoist meridians intertwined and fell into stillness.

Consequently, the ever-evolving world boundary within the Divine Aperture World also came to a standstill.

He had already experienced this feeling outside the abyss of the sea.

This time, however, it was even more intense!

Before he could figure out the reason, he heard the old beggar beside him suddenly shout:
"Come!"

The golden fishing rod in his hand instantly bent into a full moon, and the wisp of incense smoke straightened out.

"Buzz!"

A buzzing sound resonated through his mind, even making Li Wushou feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The next moment, a magnificent bronze gate was seen being dragged out of the void by the smoke of incense.

The patterns are intricate and mysterious, and the design is magnificent.

In addition, there are plaques and inscriptions on both sides of the door frame.

This gate is the very "Forbidden Immortal Gate" that Li Wushou has been longing for!
However, the flesh and blood of the Venerable Beasts, which were bound to the front, had already disappeared.

The so-called "fishing for the gate" actually works just like fishing, drawing the opponent out.

A few days ago, I made an appointment with the old beggar to enter the Forbidden Immortal Gate three days later.

Li Wushou was still somewhat hesitant because his Golden Core Dragon Seed was still a little short of being perfect.

He was so close. If he had rushed into the Forbidden Immortal Sect and become a Venerable, Li Wushou himself would have felt it was a pity.

He was actually planning to see if the old beggar had any ideas on how to first find the Blood Sea Sacred Domain, kill Moro, perfect the Golden Core Dragon Seed, and then enter the Forbidden Immortal Gate.

But the old beggar shook his head after hearing this and told him:

Even if he devoured Moro's essence and blood, his Golden Core Dragon Seed would still not be complete.

The reason is similar to how Li Wushou could not experience the baptism of the Venerable One outside.

This surprised Li Wushou, yet it also seemed to make sense.

Li Wushou no longer hesitated!

The completion of the Golden Core, the baptism by the Venerable, and even the disappearance of Yan Wu and others—all seemed to have been answered behind the Forbidden Immortal Gate.

So what's there to hesitate about?

That's how we ended up here today. Fortunately, it seems the old beggar wasn't lying, and everything went smoothly.

Just then, the old beggar holding the golden fishing rod shouted again:
"open!"

With a forceful tug on the fishing rod, and as the incense smoke trailed, a mass of flesh and blood suddenly spread out from the crack in the bronze door.

Judging from its aura, it is the flesh and blood of the Yang spirit of all beasts.

But now it had melted, turned into a puddle, and stuck firmly to the door.

The smoke from the incense blends seamlessly with the flesh and blood, anchoring the yang energy, while the yin energy remains within the gate.

With the old beggar's effort, the Forbidden Immortal Gate clicked open and closed slowly.

Seeing this, the old beggar's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He flicked his fishing rod, and the incense smoke thread suddenly broke, turning back to wrap around Li Wushou's wrist.

With a sharp jerk of the fishing rod, the old beggar shouted:
"go!"

With a swift movement, the two transformed into two streaks of light, one in front of the other, and slipped into the door through the crack.

"Buzz!"

The void hummed continuously, the gates of the Forbidden Immortal Gate closed again, and then slowly disappeared into the void.

The skeletal remains that were originally piled up haphazardly on the ground have somehow begun to face the direction of the Forbidden Immortal Gate.

Judging from the posture of these skeletons, they seem to be kneeling in worship.
