Please be my partner.

The space was rippled, and the power of guidance came from the fisherman's realm.

As his strength increased, Melen felt different every time he went to the Fisherman's Realm. This time, he even saw the real body of the Fisherman's Realm hidden in the cracks of the void. It was a huge ocean floating in the void.

Perhaps sensing that Mellen was not simple in strength, the guiding power of the Fisherman's Realm suddenly stopped halfway through the transmission, as if it was weighing the pros and cons.

Of course, Mellen would not give Fisherman a chance to regret. He took a step forward and followed the guiding force to the platform.

Even though Mellen had tried his best to restrain himself, his arrival still made the platform of the Fisherman's Realm feel as if it was about to burst, so much so that all the fishermen looked at him with fear in their eyes.

Ignoring everyone else, Melen walked straight towards Master Roshi, who looked at Melen with a hint of hesitation.

Melun smiled and said, "Senior Kame, long time no see."

Master Roshi gave a wry smile and said, "Long? My dear Melun, your growth rate is so amazing that I can't even tell whether the last time we met was decades or thousands of years ago."

After a few simple greetings, Melen said, "Senior Kame-sensei, I've found the portal to the fairyland and am planning to go over and take a look. Would you like to come with me?"

Turtle Hermit was momentarily stunned, his pupils gradually dilating as if in slow motion. After a long moment, he muttered to himself, "Does the Gate to Immortality really exist?"

"Xiao Wu, Lao Jiu, it seems that our original search was not meaningless. We just chose the wrong method."

With a long sigh, as if revealing a sad past, Master Roshi said with a smile: "My dear friend Melun, I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

Melen didn't say anything, but just looked at Master Roshi quietly, waiting for his response.

After another silence, Master Roshi sighed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my friend. Unfortunately, I am no longer an immortal. Besides, I still have to fulfill my promise to it."

Mellen nodded slightly and didn't try to persuade him any further.

Master Roshi smiled and said, "Young friend Melun, could you tell me in detail to satisfy the curiosity of this old man?"

Melen nodded, and apart from the transformation of the Mountain and Sea Realm, he briefly recounted his experience of his last trip to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

When he heard that Mellen had blown up the Golden Summit Mountain, even with Master Roshi's strong character and determination, he almost had a cardiac arrest. Compared with this, even if Mellen finally dominated the Mountain and Sea Realm, it would be nothing.

After finishing his speech, looking at the silent Master Roshi, Melun said seriously: "In that case, I will leave."

Master Roshi smiled and said, "My dear friend Melun, I wish you a safe journey, may you achieve your wish, attain true immortality, and live a long and healthy life."

Seeing that Master Roshi didn't change his words, Melun nodded and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

This time, Mellen did not go to the Fisherman's Realm to make money. After all, it would take nearly a month to synthesize the highest-level bait, and the harvest would only be at the mythical level at best. For Mellen now, it was no longer worth his effort.

As he strolled, the starry sky swam under Mellen's feet. When he returned to the mountain and sea realm again, he could feel that the entire world community was cheering and welcoming his arrival.

Melun entered the mountain and sea world and soon found the immortal Changsheng and the immortal Huofeng.

The two demons were a little surprised by Mellen's arrival. Mellen didn't hide anything and said directly, "I'm going to the fairyland through the Gate of Ascension. Do you want to come with me?"

From the situation on Jinding Mountain, it can be seen that when the Jinding Immortal ascended to heaven, he must have brought everyone in the entire Jinding Mountain with him, which means that this gate to immortality can be used for group teleportation. This was also confirmed in the information from the mountain and sea realm received by Melen.

So, it doesn't matter whether it's just one sheep or a flock of sheep, so Melen doesn't mind taking more with him.

To put it bluntly, if he really encountered any danger after being teleported to the fairyland, it would be better to have more "targets" than just him as the only "target".

Chapter 599: The Gate to Immortality

At Mellen's instruction, the news that he was going to open the gate to immortality quickly spread among the strong men in the Mountain and Sea Realm, immediately causing an uproar.

Becoming an immortal is an obsession engraved in the soul of every cultivator in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Unfortunately, the gate to immortality has been opened many times, which has greatly damaged the cultivation environment of the Mountain and Sea Realm. As a result, after the departure of the Golden Summit Immortal, no one in the Mountain and Sea Realm can become an immortal.

And now, the door to immortality is about to open?

Anyone can go to the immortal realm as long as they pass through the gate of immortality?!

Although it is not certain that one can become an immortal once he reaches the immortal world, everyone understands that the probability of becoming an immortal in the immortal world is definitely much higher than that in the mountain and sea world.

However, no matter how tempted they are, not everyone wants to go to the fairyland.

Firstly, people's hearts are hidden. For those demigods who have lived for a long time, it is not so easy for them to believe Mellen's words. They may still be speculating in their hearts, wondering whether Mellen is plotting something.

Secondly, there must be many powerful people who want to go to the fairyland. After they leave, the mountain and sea world will inevitably usher in a power vacuum. Going to the fairyland is just a gamble on the unknown, but staying can directly call oneself the ancestor. Naturally, many people are tempted.

Unfortunately, those who want to stay with caution do not know that after the door to immortality is opened this time, the cultivation environment in the Mountain and Sea Realm will inevitably deteriorate further. At that time, let alone continued improvement, the strength of most semi-immortal powerhouses will decline.

Moreover, from now on, the difficulty of giving birth to a semi-immortal in the Mountain and Sea Realm will increase sharply.

Melen didn't care about the twists and turns below. He was currently in the void behind the Mountain and Sea Realm, where the Gate to Immortality was located.

The Gate to Immortality is a space-time vortex with a diameter of one hundred kilometers, but it looks a little dim at this moment because it is embedded in the core of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Every time it is opened, the foundation of the Mountain and Sea Realm needs to be forcibly extracted.

Normally, it requires an immortal to activate it, and only an immortal can suppress the instinctive resistance of the mountain and sea world and prevent the failure of opening the gate to immortality.

Although Melen is not an immortal, he is the 'father' of the Mountain and Sea Realm, so he can actively suppress the instincts of the Mountain and Sea Realm and supply the energy needed to open the gate to immortality.

As Melen thought about it, the Mountain and Sea Realm began to infuse the original energy into the Gate of Immortality. The vortex of time and space that was almost in a stagnant state began to light up little by little and gradually rotate.

Along with this, the entire mountain and sea world, and even the entire community, began to emit imperceptible vibrations and buzzing sounds, and the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth also decreased at an extremely slow rate.

Strong men above the level of semi-immortals, as well as some people with innate sharp spiritual perception, can perceive the changes between heaven and earth. The latter do not understand why, but the former who know more information change their expressions.

Demon area.

Changshengxian and Huofengxian sat opposite each other, but their expressions were completely different.

For the immortal Changsheng, becoming an immortal and living forever are naturally what he has always pursued. Logically speaking, if he has the opportunity to go to the fairyland, he should not have any hesitation.

However, the demon race's transformation from a scattered group to its current cohesion couldn't have been achieved without Changshengxian's centuries of painstaking planning. Seeing that the tide of power was now in my favor, perhaps with a few more decades or centuries of development, the demon race could unify the mountain and sea realms, accomplishing a feat that countless predecessors had failed to achieve. How could he be willing to abandon everything and leave at this moment?!

On the contrary, Fire Phoenix Fairy was much more determined than Changsheng Fairy. She chose to go to the fairyland without any hesitation. Even though Changsheng Fairy hinted at her several times, she had no intention of changing her mind.

Looking at Changshengxian, Huofengxian sighed. The two had known each other for many years, and the feelings between them could no longer be described as simple friendship or love.

For the immortal Changsheng, Huo Fengxian is willing to give up everything she has. She can accompany him through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and she doesn't care even if it means plotting against the powerful monsters or even making enemies with the whole world.

But, becoming an immortal is not enough!

In order to gain a chance to become an immortal, Huo Fengxian can also give up the immortality of longevity.

As orthodox descendants of ancient great demons, Changshengxian and Huofengxian actually have some understanding of the environmental changes in the Mountain and Sea Realm. They know that with each opening of the gate to immortality, the cultivation environment in the Mountain and Sea Realm will deteriorate.

This is the fundamental reason why immortals cannot be born in the mountain and sea world.

Therefore, for Huo Fengxian, going to the fairyland is the only way to become an immortal, even if there are difficulties and dangers in the process.

After looking at each other in silence for a while, Huo Fengxian said, "I have said enough of what I need to say. In short, I will definitely go to the fairyland, and I hope you can go with me."

After saying this, Huo Fengxian no longer lingered, turned around and disappeared into a flash of red light.

Changshengxian stretched out his hand, caught a wisp of remaining sparks, and watched it burn out quickly in his palm, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

No matter what others think, Mellen's actions did not slow down at all.

A month later, the Gate to Immortality was fully lit, which meant that the initial charging was completed and it could be opened at any time.

Melen returned to the Mountain and Sea Realm and directly sent a wide-area message to all the semi-immortal masters in the Mountain and Sea Realm community through the world consciousness:

"Ten days later, the gate to the immortal realm will open at Taiyue Mountain, and I will ascend to heaven in broad daylight!"

Just sixteen words once again caused an uproar.

If it was just a rumor whose authenticity was unknown before, now the information transmitted through the Mountain and Sea Realm seems to have higher credibility, after all, the time and place have been determined.

At the same time, this news inevitably spread to those below the semi-immortal level, because Melen did not explain whether there was any limit to the level of cultivation for ascending to the immortal realm in broad daylight. Therefore, many people took a chance and begged their ancestors to take them with them. Even if they could not ascend to the immortal realm together, the grand sight alone was worth seeing.

Many of the immortal cultivators who did not have the backing of a semi-immortal but got the news unexpectedly also set off for the Taiyue Sacred Mountain immediately. For them, this was an immortal opportunity that they would only encounter once in their lifetime!

Taiyue Mountain has become lively again since it experienced the great war more than ten years ago.

At every moment, there are high-flying immortal cultivators roaring past, and there are also low-key and incompetent ones walking quietly.

The gathering of a large number of immortal cultivators is bound to cause chaos, not to mention the demons and monsters with dark intentions.

However, this chaos was soon severely cracked down. The semi-immortal warriors who arrived earlier united to form a temporary law enforcement team. Anyone who caused trouble during this period would be severely punished.

Of course, this is not to say that the moral standards of these semi-immortal strongmen are so high. It is mainly because Melen’s previous behavior of sending dogs to judge criminals made everyone think that he was the kind of person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

As the saying goes, what goes up must go down. They may not understand Mellen, but since Mellen did it, there must be a reason for it, and they naturally have to follow suit.

In addition, the opening of the gate to immortality is another important factor. For the immortal cultivators in the mountain and sea world, they naturally don’t know about concepts such as the multiverse and inter-universe portals.

They only know that once the gate to immortality is opened, it will connect to the fairyland. If there is chaos here, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock for the immortals in the fairyland?

If the immortals are not satisfied and directly close the gate to immortality and prevent them from ascending, they will have no place to cry.

It's like when the company notifies you that a big boss is coming. The first thing to do is to clean up, and there must not be any garbage in the trash can.

With the pressure from the demigods from top to bottom, the order of Taiyue Mountain became well-organized.

Just like that, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the ninth day of the ninth month, the sky is clear and the air is fresh, making it a good time to travel, clean, start a business, break ground, plant, offer sacrifices, and... ascend to heaven!

The original rules wound of Taiyue Mountain had long been healed by Melen, and only the huge abyss still recorded the cruelty of the battle that year.

At this time, there are millions of immortal cultivators on the Taiyue Mountain, among which there are hundreds of semi-immortals. These are just those on the surface. There are many more semi-immortals hiding in the dark or hiding far away, always paying attention to the developments here.

Among these many immortal cultivators, everyone is positioned according to the size of their forces. Among them, the most prominent one is the demon clan led by Xiaotian.

Xiaotian's excitement at this moment was beyond words. He originally thought that he had found a powerful person who could help him improve rapidly in a short period of time and truly stand at the pinnacle of power in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Unexpectedly, this thigh suddenly turned into a white jade pillar supporting the sky and a purple gold beam spanning the sea. It seemed that it was going to lead him to become an immortal!

So, when others were still hesitant, Xiaotian started to integrate his forces without saying a word. He took away all the wolf and dog demons who regarded him as their king, while the other demon tribes followed the principle of voluntariness.

However, since it was voluntary, those smart monsters naturally understood what to choose. After all, although the monster force established by Xiaotian was fighting in the name of Mellen, its backbone was still Xiaotian and other monster warriors. Once they left for the fairyland, this monster force would immediately disband on the spot.

You know, they have offended many people because of their arrogance and encroachment on the resources of other ethnic groups. When the strong ones leave, even if they are not directly liquidated, they will definitely be suppressed, and their future days will not be easy.

Those who could see this clearly naturally followed Xiaotian's footsteps, while the others either could not see through it, or still had some attachment, or had other thoughts.

When Melen arrived at Taiyue Mountain and saw the dense crowd, he was also stunned.

During the heyday of Jinding Mountain, it was known for its teaching without discrimination, with thousands of immortals coming to pay homage. The number of disciples under the tutelage was definitely not small, but even so, they disappeared overnight. It is likely that they all followed the Jinding Immortal to ascend to the immortal world.

The number of immortal cultivators gathered in Taiyue Mountain now is probably even greater than that in Jinding Mountain back then.

Melen stood high in the sky, looking down at the numerous immortal cultivators below. He spoke loudly, "I think everyone's purpose for coming here today is very clear, so I won't waste any more time on this nonsense. However, before that, I have two things to remind you..."

"Ascending to the Immortal Realm is no joke. It's not some mortal paradise, but rather one with far greater dangers. You aren't even immortals. Once you go there, your own rules may be suppressed, and your strength will be greatly reduced. Even those who are less than half-immortal may become ordinary people. So, if you can't accept this, or if your lifespan is nearing its end, don't even think about ascending to the Immortal Realm. And most importantly, once you reach the Immortal Realm, you will completely sever your connection with the Mountain and Sea Realm, and there's a high probability that you won't be able to return."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, especially the many cultivators who were nearing the end of their lives, their faces were filled with bitterness. They had originally thought of making one last effort before they died, but they didn't expect that reality was so cruel that they didn't even have a chance to fight.

Mellen was too lazy to listen to the clamor. It was not him who set the rules. He was simply stating the facts. With a wave of his hand, the power of heaven and earth pressed down and suppressed everyone.

Under everyone's horrified gaze, Melen continued, "Also, after you go to the Immortal Realm, due to the huge changes in the rules, the magic weapons and immortal artifacts you have will basically become scrap metal. If you don't want to waste them, leave them in the Mountain and Sea Realm."

After making these reminders, Mellen no longer paid attention to the crowd and took off into the air.

Following Melen's summons, dark clouds suddenly gathered above the originally clear sky, lightning and thunder flashed, the space began to distort, and cracks appeared one after another.

In the pitch-black void, a huge vortex of time and space slowly squeezed out and entered the realm of mountains and seas.

A heavy oppression emanated, and the world was filled with a sense of destruction.

Everyone stopped talking and arguing, staring blankly at the vortex of time and space in the sky. At this moment, in their minds, the gate to immortality before them was undoubtedly equated with 'becoming an immortal'.

"Buzz!~Boom!~"

The space-time vortex suddenly spun, and the violent energy directly shattered time and space, faintly connecting to an extremely distant place. Through the ripples in the space-time vortex, some fragmented images could be seen...

The fairy mountain and blessed land hang high in the sky.

Fairy beasts roam in the woods.

Above the Milky Way, there is an immortal fishing.

In the divine court, gods and humans were playing chess.

……

Wisps of aura belonging to the immortal world flowed out from the vortex of time and space. Even after being diluted, even if they were only exposed to a tiny trace, it still felt like a treasure to the immortal cultivators present. Many people who had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years suddenly broke through.

This is the fairyland!

Melen looked at the crowd below and said calmly, "Those who wish to go to the Immortal Realm only need to enter the range of the Immortal Light. The Immortal Gate will be open for one hour. No one will be allowed after that time."

As Melen finished speaking, tens of thousands of rays of light shot up into the sky and headed towards the fairy light range of the Gate of Ascension.

There were also many people who looked eagerly but stared at the pioneers.

As more and more people entered the range of the fairy light and disappeared across the Gate of Immortality under the cover of the fairy light, the onlookers below finally couldn't hold back and flew towards the Gate of Immortality.

Xiaotian and other powerful demons who had submitted to Melen came respectfully behind him. Melen said, "You go first, I'll be there soon."

Only then did Xiaotian and the others enter the gate to immortality.
