Chapter 601 - Impending Catastrophe
Upon reaching the doors, a gentle yet demanding voice suddenly echoed in their ears, "Friends, this is not a place you can just go whenever you want. I advise you to step back and go back from whence you came."
Sure enough, the ancestors of the Wind Gate didn\'t welcome them. Although the tone was gentle, it had carried the supremacy of being an apex existence.
Jin Rou\'s group felt an intense pressure that they never felt in their lives. It was a warning from an immortal that one step closer might lead to losing their lives.
"We are here because of an important reason.." Jin Rou smiled. He wasn\'t affected by the pressure the voice gave, "If you shoo us away, your gate will be done for."
"We are the strongest powerhouse in the whole Immortal. Who could give us a the pending doom you\'re talking about?" The gentle voice became cold, "Or are you saying that you will bring us that doom?"
"Although I have the capabilities, I don\'t much have much interest in your Wind Gate. Furthermore, your gate has benefited so much that I couldn\'t do something about it." Jin Rou chuckled, "I\'m just here to return the favor. To help your Wind Gate survive this catastrophe."
The other side of the door didn\'t answer immediately. It seemed that it was contemplating about something. As apex experts who stood at the very top of the world, they could distinguish the lies and truths as a whole.
"What is this catastrophe you\'re saying?" Finally after a whole hour of silence, the other voice suddenly asked.
"If you want to know, you have to open the door for us." Jin Rou said. His demand wouldn\'t change no matter what.
Then without further ado, the ancient door opened slowly.
"I like decisive ones." Jin Rou smiled and entered the hall. The others followed suit, afraid that they might fall behind.
Once they entered the door, the ancient door closed once again and the candles in a perfect row lit up. What met their eyes were two statues sitting in lotus position. They had green robes that perfectly match their appearances.
"Immortalization, the act of becoming a stone to preserve one\'s life." Zachary gasped. This was the first time he had seen this, though he had read some of this in old records.
"That\'s right, it\'s an Immortalization." Jin Rou confirmed. They were the very first immortals he met that could accomplish such a hard feat.
Take note, not all perfect immortals have the capability to do Immortalization. It required so much comprehension of life and understanding about the dao. Many experts claimed that one have to prove his dao first before reaching this state.
The old man immortal in Jin Rou\'s group was also in amazement. Remember, he was also a perfect immortal but he still couldn\'t do this!
These two statues were the true and bona fide immortals at the very perfect level. They were also the reason why Wind Gate was still the number one powerhouse of the entire Immortal.
After a long while, the statues turned into flesh of a human slowly. It was visible to their naked eyes. After more than ten minutes, the statue state had been removed and the two ancestors were on their flesh.
"Greetings, Young Friends." The ancestor with a golden beard said softly, "I am called Windghost, you can talk to me regarding to the matters."
Windghost Perfect Immortal! Although he wasn\'t a famous expert, apex experts like the old man knew him very well. He was a teacher to many aspiring immortals in the past and even made a very powerful expert that even until now, he was sweeping in all realms!
Windghost was a very lowkey expert, thus a few only recognized him. However, his strength was unquestionable as many had tasted the wrath of his power in the past. When they heard his name, even the prideful clans and sects would have to give him respect.
Furthermore, he was one of the trusted aides of the late Windgod Perfect Immortal.
"This Friend here, let\'s talk about the catastrophe you\'re talking about now." Windghost smiled and looked at Jin Rou. He seemed very amiable but Jin Rou could see that billions of people had died in his hands in the past.
"I have a brief talk with your Windgod in a certain place you know, for sure." Jin Rou explained, "He gave me all his hidden treasures he accumulated for so many years."
"I see. So you are the chosen one." Windghost was surprised from the start but eventually digested everything. Those treasures weren\'t up for them or their Wind Gate, it was truly for the chosen one thus it wasn\'t surprising that their forefather gave everything to Jin Rou.
"And upon closer inspection of the treasures I got from him, he left a treasure that I should give to you. It said that you will know what this indicates when you see it." Jin Rou handed over a scroll with a black color. It was releasing a tremendous amount of dark energy.
"This is the Dark Scroll!" Windghost was very familiar of this item, and he also knew very well what this indicated, "Impossible, it\'s still too soon for them to come out from that realm!"
"But the scroll won\'t lie, you know that." Jin Rou said seriously, "With how much energy the Dark Scroll is leaking, you already know what it means."
Windghost was speechless. Jin Rou was right. The scroll will not lie, "If they will really come, then it\'s really a catastrophe."
He couldn\'t help but sigh. This was truly a catastrophe that they might not be able to survive. Those dark existences were a serious threat to Immortal.
Don\'t worry, that\'s why I\'m here." Jin Rou chuckled, "I\'m here to return the favor your forefather has given me."
"Young Friend, I admit that you are very strong. However, those dark existences are very powerful too. In terms of apex experts, the darkness has more of them. After all, they have a favorable environment in their realm." Windghost said, clearly saying that Jin Rou couldn\'t do much about it.
