Chapter 565 The Gate to Ascension, Reopening the Immortal Realm

The ascension of beings from the Heart Sea to the universe is not something that can be accomplished simply by talking about it, nor can it be done just by Luo Zu thinking about it. There are many calculations involved, especially when it comes to the connection between the two realms. If there is even the slightest discrepancy, these ascending beings will be unable to go to either realm, and will end up as lonely ghosts in a miserable state.

Now that Luo Zu is a Martial God and a Martial Ancestor of a realm, he naturally needs to carefully consider this beneficial measure.

The most important thing to do before taking any action is to catch a lab rat and conduct an experiment that crosses the boundaries between the two worlds.

Moreover, there can't be just one lab rat; it has to come from multiple sources, species, and regions.

Soon, he found the guinea pig he needed: a hybrid of human and demon.

However, this demon has already mastered the transformation technique and directly transformed its demon body into human form. Therefore, according to the settings set by Luo Zu, this demon is already considered human.

This half-human, half-demon is named Shadow. Because of the fusion of human and demon bloodlines, he also carries a heavy sense of inferiority.

However, he didn't know whether to join the human race or the demon race. Although the human race was currently very powerful in the Void World Sea, suppressing all other races, only those races that had left the human world with the human race and reached the myriad worlds could compete with the human race.

However, the demon race failed in their mission back then, and ended up with their cultivation level being "locked" in a tragic way.

Nowadays, the demon race can only live in a small part of the world. This is because the sea of ​​the heart has undergone many changes, and the human race and other races have been unable to delve into the sea of ​​the heart to explore the coordinate changes of the world for a short period of time. This has given the demon race a chance to breathe.

However, the Heavenly Human Race and the Demon Race, to which Ying belonged, coexisted and were incompatible. As a child of both races, Ying was naturally not welcomed by either side. Especially after his parents died, no one protected him, so he could only bury his feelings deep inside and become a beggar on the street.

When Ying was pulled out of the world called Gray Seventeen by Luo Zu, he was numb, but his heart was filled with a desire to survive.

Aside from Ying, who is quite unique, the other lab rats are equally impressive: some are humans who practice demon magic, some are demons who cultivate the Heavenly Demon Art, some are a hybrid of elves and barbarians, and some are endangered species that have formed their own races.

Luo Zu retrieved a full three thousand individuals for this experiment.

Then they were evenly distributed into... the vast universe.

Yes, Luo Zu has his own arrangements for "ascension": ascending to the vast universe, then to the cosmic spacetime entity, and finally to a higher dimension.

It was orderly and proceeded in sequence.

Before this process, Luo Zu would also set up processes for the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm. However, the current situation is special, as it is still in the experimental stage and can be handled on a case-by-case basis.

In addition, Luo Zu specially set up a wonder called the "Gate of Ascension" in the myriad realms of the Heart Sea, which allows the beings in the myriad realms of the Heart Sea to ascend through this gate.

This gate will first be connected to the former Immortal Realm. In order to accomplish this, Luo Zu specially lifted the Immortal Realm out of the depths of the Sea of ​​the Heart and re-listed it as a great world above all the heavens.

This matter was accomplished under the joint witness of all living beings. Even though the chaotic primordial color of the sea of ​​the mind was covering it, the divine power of the "Immortal Elder" directly "crossed the boundary" and enveloped it.

Even the lonely ghosts and wandering spirits in the deepest part of the Nine Netherworld could witness this scene.

"Immortal Elder? It's Immortal Elder!!" The Seven Emotions King Yama, residing in the Nine Netherworlds, was overjoyed. His surging immortal energy stirred up boundless waves of yin energy from the Nine Netherworlds, which surged and crashed into the vast sea of ​​the heart, eager to quickly reach the sea of ​​the heart and meet the Immortal Elder who had "crossed boundaries" and returned.

The Seven Emotions Yama King was once a Heavenly Lord of the Celestial Court. He was created and raised by the Immortal Elder and always had a debt of gratitude and righteousness towards the Immortal Elder, but he had no resentment whatsoever. Even though he was sent to this Netherworld to guard the cycle of reincarnation, he did not complain at all.

This time, the ancient Heavenly Lord's sudden action startled many old immortals, demons, and monsters.

The sea of ​​emotions surged, and more and more powerful figures of the older generation were mobilized.

This is not only because the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord has taken action, but also because of the legendary Immortal Elder and the Immortal Realm, and even more so because of a thought that has risen in the hearts of all living beings—ascension! Ascension!

Where will they ascend to? No one knows, but it seems that the immortal elder, who has transcended this vast void sea, is trying to find a path for all living beings, an opportunity to transcend the void sea and reach the higher realm of Golden Immortal.

Having been trapped in the Xuanxian realm for far too many years, and having almost broken through the Xuanxian perfection realm, they still cannot find a way forward.

If it weren't for the ancient figures who confirmed the ascension of the Heavenly Demon General and the Immortal Elder, as well as the Heavenly Demon King who remained in the world, the gods of the Floating World, and the numerous Golden Immortals and Demon Gods who crossed over from beyond the heavens, they would have doubted whether the Golden Immortal realm was a hoax, or perhaps the Profound Immortal was the real one.

Now that the Immortal Elder has returned from another realm and is tasked with supporting the Immortal Realm, he has given them hope.

"Ascension! Ascension!"

The great aspirations of numerous immortals converged at this moment, transforming into a tremendous cry that echoed in the sea of ​​their hearts.

Luo Zu, who was in control of everything, was also shocked by the loud voice. He did not expect that everyone's call for "ascension" would be so loud. Their obsession with a higher realm was almost becoming their inner demon.

This also made Luo Zu realize the needs of all beings in the Sea of ​​Hearts. It was not only because they had been stuck in their realm for too long, but also because they were entangled in the tribulation of decline, and many Xuanxian had perished and turned to dust.

No one wants to end up like this, so they must bravely rise from the ground and seize this secret.

Splash!

Upon emerging from the Sea of ​​the Heart and arriving above it, the assembled immortals witnessed the rise of a magnificent world of immeasurable size and ineffable principles.

There was a terrifying force brewing within them.

"A new immortal realm?!" A mystical immortal couldn't help but exclaim.

The ancient immortal realm has collapsed and fallen into the sea of ​​the heart, while this immortal realm is born from the ancient immortal realm, but it has its own new changes. With the means of an immortal elder "crossing over", the changes in it should be extraordinary.

The immortals could only watch from the sidelines, for one immortal overestimated himself and attempted to enter the evolving new immortal realm. He was then swept away by a golden light and turned to ashes on the spot, leaving only a wisp of his spirit to escape into the Nine Netherworlds to be nurtured and take shape, and to cultivate the methods of a ghost immortal.

Because of this precedent, the other immortals naturally did not dare to act rashly, and simply watched from afar, waiting for the opening of the new immortal realm.

Sparkling light and clamorous sounds filled the air, with boundless light and sound, yet no further creations of the new immortal realm could be seen emerging.

The end of the world's rebirth seems to be approaching.

At this moment, several of the immortals had already communicated and formed a unified force.

This forces this world to linger, allowing them to intrude.

"Fellow Daoists, I once ventured into a wondrous place in the universe and gained great rewards. I accidentally obtained a powerful immortal array, capable of setting up ten directions and ten absolutes, easily trapping the heavens and earth." A Xuanxian who was tens of millions of years old revealed his method.

The other immortals who had received his thoughts were all somewhat tempted as a result.

They themselves would find it impossible to say that they had no desire for this new immortal realm.

After all, the Immortal Elder of yesteryear occupied the Ancient Immortal Realm, then became a Golden Immortal, transcending and ascending to heaven. Now that a new Immortal Realm has been born, is there another opportunity to become a Golden Immortal there?

Although it's hard to say what will happen, how could they miss this opportunity?

"If any of you fellow Daoists are interested, please give me a word so I can pass on the teachings to those who are willing."

After several rounds of coordination, ten immortals who had reached the perfect Xuanxian Dao realm were finally invited to join forces in refining the Ten Absolute Formations.

It was fortunate that the immortal had crafted the array diagram; otherwise, such a complex array would not have been mastered in ten days or half a month, but could have taken several years, at least a hundred years.

After preparations were complete, the Xuanxian who had bestowed the Ten Deadly Formations summoned a group of Xuanxian to take action just as the New Immortal Realm was about to cease its evolution.

The immortals dared not delay and acted immediately. If they missed the opportunity, how could they stand out among so many immortals in the future?

By then, many things will be too late to be served.

The purple and blue light then penetrated the chaotic color of the heart sea, intending to trap the new immortal realm within the location determined by the ten Xuanxian.

Such a striking scene naturally caught the attention of all the immortals present.

A total of 3,619,830 Xuanxian (mystical immortals) witnessed this scene.

But no one stopped them; even the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord stood by and watched coldly.

In his eyes, the actions of these ten immortals were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an overestimation of their own strength.

As he expected, although the Ten Directions and Ten Absolute Formations had gathered ten Xuan Immortals at the perfect realm and had a great momentum, the grand scene it created was reduced to dust on the spot after it collided with the New Immortal Realm. The ten Xuan Immortals also met the same fate, and this time, not even a trace of their remnants remained.

Seeing this outcome, the immortals remained calm but dared not make any further moves. Even though the evolution of the new immortal realm had ended, without any definite signal, they could only stand on the sea of ​​their hearts and watch the new immortal realm unfold.

After the evolution of Luo Zujian, who brought all of this together, came to fruition, he passed on his message.

"Now that the new Immortal Realm has reopened, it will be even higher than all the heavens. Entering it can delay the calamity of decline and prolong the days of lifespan." Ancestor Luo described the new Immortal Realm in a very attractive way, whether it was for the Xuan Immortals at present or for the other Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals who could not come here.

"I will set up a gate for ascension. All those whose opportunity arises will be able to sense its location and enter to ascend to the immortal realm." The voice of Ancestor Luo seemed to travel through countless ages and reach the hearts of all living beings.

However, only those who have reached the peak of the Xuanxian realm can enter this gate, a hidden requirement that Luo Zu did not disclose.

But those who experience it firsthand will surely have a feeling about it.

"Immortal Elder, may I enter the Immortal Realm?" the Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord asked loudly.

"One can ascend to the immortal realm without worldly karmic obstacles," the immortal elder offered an answer.

"Thank you, Immortal Elder." The Seven Emotions Heavenly Lord was moved to tears.

He had always wanted to get rid of his identity as the King of the Nine Netherworlds, no longer wanting to be confined within it, toiling day and night, witnessing joys and sorrows, and the deceit and treachery of the world. Although he was named Seven Emotions, he could not bear to have so many emotions vented before his eyes.

He wanted to be free, and now he had the chance to fight for it.
