Chapter 555: Chapter 547 Immortal Qi
By the time the Dragon Turtle shrank down to the size of a palm, Qin Niu picked it up and tossed it into the basket on his back.
After transforming, demon beasts could minimize their physical form, but this was an extremely strenuous task for them.
Almost all demon beasts preferred maintaining their primal physical state.
“Those who break through the Second Immortal Gate can become registered disciples of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. The Second Immortal Gate is still within Elixir City, but to break through the gate, one must find a strand of Immortal Qi and refine it. There is another method to pass, gather three Immortal Ribbons and it might automatically unlock the key to the Immortal Gate.”
When the Great Immortal Envoy mentioned the second method, a sly smile crossed his face.
Qin Niu’s face, however, showed a slight change in expression.
Every expert who had successfully passed the First Immortal Gate had obtained an Immortal Ribbon. The simplest way to collect three Immortal Ribbons was to forcibly seize them from two other challengers.
This meant that within the Second Immortal Gate, everyone was at liberty to fight to the death.
For those seasoned Immortal Masters as well as some formidable Spirit Qi Realm experts, this was highly advantageous. However, for those who had barely scraped through the First Immortal Gate, the Innate Realm experts, and the weaker Spirit Qi Realm experts, the situation would become incredibly dangerous.
“The path to immortality is fraught with endless hardships and calamities, yet I regret nothing! Whoever fears death can choose to give up before entering the Second Immortal Gate.”
The Great Immortal Envoy delineated a line between life and death for everyone present.
As long as they didn’t enter the Second Immortal Gate, they could avoid death, but it would also mean giving up this opportunity for immortality.
Nobody was willing to give up easily after having struggled all the way to the Second Immortal Gate.
“May I ask, Great Immortal Envoy, what would happen if someone’s Immortal Ribbon is taken during the challenge?”
The speaker was a burly man riding a giant tiger.
His mount, a White Tiger with hanging eyes, was over six meters long, its fur glinting with a precious light, hinting at the demon power ceaselessly circulating within its body.
Just this giant tiger alone was enough to defeat most Immortal Masters.
It was at least a Grade Eleven demon beast.
No wonder this burly man dared to question the Great Immortal Envoy.
“With the Immortal Ribbon, you may leave unscathed. Without it, your fate is unpredictable,” the Great Immortal Envoy said indifferently.
Hearing this, the faces of many people became grave.
The Immortal Ribbon was extremely important; not only was it the key to passing through the Second Immortal Gate, but it also served as a kind of talisman. As long as one had the Immortal Ribbon on them, they wouldn’t encounter great danger.
“If I want to obtain the Immortal Ribbon from someone else, can I just take it directly?”
“You may convince the other party to offer it willingly, or you may take it by force. When attempting to pass through the Immortal Gate, harmony should be valued. Do not engage in indiscriminate killing!”
Having said this, the Great Immortal Envoy waved his hand, and a Five-Colored Light Gate appeared in the sky.
“The Second Immortal Gate has been opened; you may all make your decision. This Immortal Gate will stay open for twelve Hours, and the maximum time limit for the challenge is twelve Hours.”
As he finished speaking, the figure of the Great Immortal Envoy gradually disappeared.
The Immortal Might pressing down on everyone’s heads also dissipated, and some were already eagerly leaping into the Five-Colored Light Gate.
“Master, since I have no hope of passing the challenge, I might as well give you this Immortal Ribbon,” Xiao Qing said to Qin Niu.
“The Immortal Ribbon cannot be taken off outside, otherwise, it will immediately vanish. Look over there!”
Qin Niu pointed to a young man in the distance. They saw the young man was just taking off the Immortal Ribbon from his body when it disappeared instantly. A wave of exclamations followed, and before the young man could react, he was enveloped in a burst of azure light and disappeared without a trace.
The crowd let out another series of gasps.
The rules for passing through the Immortal Gate were stricter than they had imagined.
If the Immortal Qi ribbon was removed before entering the Immortal Gate, it was equivalent to forfeiting, and one would be immediately cleared out.
