Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

467. The Gateway Revealed, Entering the Divine Realm!

Lin Fei did more than just visit Heaven Transformation Ancestor. He employed some extraordinary means and proactively sought an audience with many Deity Transformation elders to learn about the Divine Realm.

After all, he was preparing to venture there and needed to thoroughly understand it. He couldn't afford to be reckless, as this involved not only the Feng family but also the Ancient Origin Sect, with far-reaching implications, necessitating Lin Fei's utmost caution and care.

However, the information gleaned from these Deity Transformation elders mostly aligned with what Taotie and Heaven Transformation Ancestor had conveyed. It could be concluded that the Divine Realm as described by Taotie and Heaven Transformation Ancestor was indeed the center of countless worlds, with the Ancient Continent being merely one of many small worlds.

Lin Fei's path was that of eternal life. In the Ancient Continent, Lin Fei realized he could not achieve eternal life, and thus, his journey led him towards the Divine Realm.

However, he hadn't forgotten his initial engagement with Qing Yuzi, the previous owner of the Dubhe Dao Artifact and a half-step Deity Transformation. Lin Fei owed him a karmic debt to deal with a Deity Transformation strongman named Hua Xiangzi.

Lin Fei didn't make any grand movements but instead started by discreetly investigating. Indeed, he discovered traces of Hua Xiangzi. However, it was said that Hua Xiangzi had long since ventured into the Divine Realm and was now untraceable, leaving behind a sect guarded only by a Nascent Soul realm cultivator.

"Gone to the Divine Realm?" Lin Fei furrowed his brows.

Hua Xiangzi, having obtained something of the Dubhe True Immortal, had a limitless future. Once in the Divine Realm, it was likely she wouldn't stop at just Deity Transformation. So much time she had passed that she might have even reached the Void Transformation stage.

However, the karmic debt with Qing Yuzi wasn't something Lin Fei was in a rush to fulfill. After all, his obligation to Qing Yuzi was merely to eliminate Hua Xiangzi when capable. If he wasn't powerful enough and Hua Xiangzi was too formidable, Lin Fei would have to temporarily avoid confrontation.

Therefore, Lin Fei spent some quality time with Feng Ling in the Feng family, not focusing on cultivation, but wholeheartedly accompanying Feng Ling.

Yet, after several months, Feng Ling's belly still showed no signs of change. It was indeed peculiar. Lin Fei had been fully devoted to accompanying Feng Ling during this time, yet they had no offspring, not even the slightest indication of it.

In truth, the higher the life form, the more challenging it becomes to bring forth offspring. After all, ordinary people beget their kin through simple bloodlines, devoid of intricate evolutions.

Yet for beings of a superior order, the process is far more complex. Even amongst Martial Kings, the birth of children is a rarity, let alone for beings like Lin Fei and Feng Ling, who stand as Martial Gods. Some Martial Gods go through their entire existence without the gift of progeny, while others might wait millennia for such a blessing.

But both Lin Fei and Feng Ling are martial artists, Seekers of the Dao. Even Feng Ling, with her lofty stature, never contemplated halting her journey there, always yearning to ascend further. Hence, the absence of offspring did not weigh upon them. After months alongside Feng Ling, Lin Fei knew the time was nigh.

"Lin Fei, you have accompanied me for many months," Feng Ling spoke with understanding, holding Lin Fei's hand. "Go do what you must. The Feng Family and Ancient Origin Sect will be under my watch."

"I know you wish to explore on your own," she added with empathy, always aware of Lin Fei's aspirations. After all, she too was a martial artist, once a prodigy amongst her kind. How could a true martial artist especially one like Lin Fei be content with the mundane?

Lin Fei nodded slightly, smiling, "Rest assured, my journey to the Divine Realm won't be long. I will return."

"The elders like Heaven Transformation Ancestor have said that once one enters the Divine Realm, returning is not straightforward. But I know many paths lead back. The simplest is achieving the rank of a Great Martial God. Breaking through the void then poses no challenge. If nothing else works, if Taotie can return, so can I. I entrust you, Feng Ling, to watch over the Ancient Origin Sect and the Feng Family."

With a gentle smile, Feng Ling replied, "We are dao companions, our fates intertwined. I shall guard the Ancient Origin Sect; you journey through the Divine Realm without worry."

"Very well," said Lin Fei, speaking no further.

After a moment of tender warmth, Lin Fei departed without informing the Ancient Origin Sect, leaving behind only letters. Alone, he left the Feng Family, his figure a phantom as he swiftly reached the Mountain of Ascension.

The Mountain of Ascension, famed and illustrious, is renowned throughout the Ancient Continent. Many venture there, yet only divine beings comprehend its true essence—a portal to the Divine Realm. To many, the Mountain of Ascension is but a perilous place, a site to admire the legacy of the divine.

In recent millennia, fewer divine beings have graced the Mountain of Ascension. Instead, many Nascent Souls and Martial Kings have been spotted within its realms.

Lin Fei, with a flash, appeared amidst the mountain, drawing the attention of many. Yet, without revealing much of his formidable aura, he went largely unnoticed.

Lin Fei paid no mind to the others. Upon his arrival at the Mountain of Ascension, he immediately sensed something extraordinary - the Laws! He felt a disturbance in the laws, unmistakable and bright as the sun, perceptible to any divine being.

"This must be the portal to the Divine Realm at the Mountain of Ascension," Lin Fei murmured.

With a step forward, Lin Fei's aura erupted, his Martial God's might enveloping the entire mountain. Martial Sovereigns and Golden Core cultivators knelt, trembling, unable to lift their heads despite their utmost efforts. Only those of the Nascent Soul and Martial King ranks could barely raise their heads to gaze at the figure in the void.

"A divine being!" they exclaimed. "The divine presence has returned to the Mountain of Ascension."

"Which deity might this be?"

"The repeated divine appearances at the Mountain of Ascension must signify a secret. What could it be?"

"Look, the deity is ascending to the peak."

Many watched as Lin Fei methodically made his way to the mountain's summit. To the ordinary eye, the peak appeared barren, void of anything noteworthy.

But through Lin Fei's vision, a portal stood at the summit—a gateway to the Divine Realm. To open this portal required the power of the Laws, a feat beyond the reach of the ordinary.

Reaching the summit, Lin Fei took a deep breath and commanded, "Open!"

With the activation of the world's Laws, a colossal portal materialized. Peering into its deep, dark maw, filled with mystery and the unknown, Lin Fei hesitated not. He inhaled deeply and stepped through, vanishing into the portal in an instant.

"Has he disappeared?"

"A deity arrived at the Mountain of Ascension, a portal appeared, and then vanished?"

"Let's go to the peak..."

Many witnessed this scene and hurried to the summit. However, they found nothing and encountered nothing. Disappointed, they returned, leaving behind another legend at the Mountain of Ascension: Of a divine trace, an ascent to the peak, a step through a portal, and a disappearance into the unknown.
