Re:Immortal

Chapter 127

Deep within the mountain of the Bai sect, one of the world's holy lands, blessed by the Immortal mentor himself, a massive statue of Ysion could be seen carved deep within the side of the mountain itself.

The sect patriarch had ordered for the best sculptures from all across the land to be brought to carve the best monument of the Immortal mentor. The side of the mountain ended up being turned into a shrine where countless cultivators could be seen kowtowing and giving their respects to the esteemed celestial.

Above the mountain, the patriarch was sitting down in the lotus position, his eyes were closed in cultivation a faint shining light could be seen surrounding his body giving off a holy feeling.

It was then that the first elder, Bai Yu suddenly rushed towards the top of the mountain an urgent expression on his face. He gave a deep bow towards the patriarch before speaking.

"Patriarch! Something happened!" He said his tone

serious.

"Hmmm?" The patriarch's eyes slowly opened as he turned to glance at the first elder.

"Bai Yu, What is it?" He asked, his voice deep and filled with strength. Ever since his blessed encounter with the Immortal Mentor, his cultivation base had known an explosive surge.

"T-The Immortal mentor's sculpture!"

Hearing that, the patriarch suddenly shot to his legs as he rushed and grabbed Bai Yu by the shoulder before asking.

"Did something happen to the shrine?!"

Bai Yu was taken aback by the patriarch's reaction yet he calmed himself before replying. "T-The sculpture is shining Patriarch!"

"It's shining you say?" Asked the patriarch his eyes squinting in thought.

"Yes! The entire shrine is enveloped with a faint light!" Added Bai Yu.

"Let's go, lead the way!" Urged the patriarch.

Soon, the patriarch led by the first elder Bai Yu arrived at the shrine located on the side of the mountain. The rest of the elders were already there standing close to the sculpture and studying it in curiosity.

The rest of the disciples could be seen on their knees a distance away as they kept on kowtowing and praying to the statue. As soon as the first elder and patriarch arrived everyone gave their greetings in a united loud voice.

"We offer our greetings to the sect master and first elder!" Their yell echoed throughout the entire mountain like thunder, a satisfied smile was on the patriarch's face at their greeting.

He nodded before moving closer towards the elders. They cupped their fists respectfully at him before greeting.

"Greetings sect master."

He nodded at their greeting, before asking. "When did it start glowing?"

"Not long, about ten minutes or so." Replied one of the elders.

"Could this be the blessing of the Immortal mentor?" Asked another elder.

"Our prayer has reached him!" Added another one in confidence.

The patriarch refrained from speaking as he carefully observed the statue. It was then that one of the elder's disciples suddenly came rushing towards them.

"I pay respects to the sect master and elders! I have an urgent report to make!" He said as he dropped to his knees in front of them.

"What is it?" The first elder was the one to ask as he turned his gaze to look at the disciple, the patriarch seemed unconcerned as he continued to observe the statue.

"Various reports have been coming from all across the plane, all of the Immortal mentor's statues are glowing!" He reported.

"Hmmm?" Hearing that, the patriarch finally turned his gaze towards the disciple on his knees before asking.

"How reliable is the report?"

"In response to the sect master, this disciple has gone out to the village below the mountain to confirm, and found that even the small monument of the immortal mentor in the middle of the village square to be glowing!"

"Bai Yu, what do you make of this?" Asked the patriarch as he turned his gaze towards the first elder who had a deep frown on his face.

"I-" before he could speak, however, a blinding light suddenly rushed from the sculpture bathing the entire mountain and sky above it in a celestial glow.

The entire Bai clan watched in shock as an extremely large hazy figure of the Immortal mentor materialized above his sculpture.

Across the entire mortal plane, such a shocking phenomenon could be seen as all sculptures of Omis began to glow brightly before his hazy figure materialized in the sky above them.

The entire world watched with bated breath, as one of the most respected and one of the oldest celestial suddenly descent upon them. Mortals and cultivators alike threw themselves on the ground as they offered their prayers.

Old monsters long forgotten by the mortal plane came out of their seclusion to stare at the sky in shock, such an event was the first of its kind, a celestial had appeared to the general populace, and not just any celestial, but the Immortal mentor himself!

The figure of Omis in the sky had his hair in black and white, his perfect features were a bit hazy making it difficult for people to stare at him directly, the only thing that stood out clearly was his pair of piercing eyes, one glowing in a holy golden glow, the other an ominous scarlet color.

His eyes seemed to scan the land below him, none daring to meet his gaze as everyone lowered their heads in respect.

"People of the mortal plane." He said in a loud authoritative voice, causing a shudder to run down everyone's spine.

"The calamity that has befallen the Heavenly realm has already caused the 'underworld' to fall, and now it threatens to swallow the mortal plain." He spoke, letting his words rang into everyone's ears, stunned expressions followed by ones of horror took over everyone as people began to wail and pray even louder for salvation.

The 'underworld' has collapsed! What did that mean? The mortal plane was now next? Countless questions spiraled in everyone's minds as fear began to grip their hearts.

"I along with the surviving Immortals shall lead a final battle against our enemies in the Heavenly plane."

Hearing that, people began to grow extremely excited, it seems like even more celestial had survived heaven's fall! This meant that they now stood a chance!

"Though we shall take the front lines and hold the skies for you, some may escape to the mortal plane." Continued Omis causing everyone to gulp as they listened carefully.

"Heed my word, there shall be no in-fighting amongst the cultivators of the Mortal plane! This is the time to stand united in the face of a common enemy that wants our destruction!" He ordered, his voice like thunder to everyone's ears as they listened, their hearts beating wildly in their chest.

"Holy lands heed my word! The Bai clan, The Mount Sword sect, and the Void sect are to put their differences aside and work together to lead the mortal plane's resistance, those that prove themselves worthy will have the opportunity to ascend as a celestial, may the Heavens be with you all."

Leaving behind those set of final shocking words, Omis's projections disappeared reverting the skies back to their previous normal state, silence descended all across the mortal plane before chaos swiftly followed after.

This was the chance to ascend! A chance to shed one's mortal skin and transcend towards the heavens! The road to Immortality had been broken countless if years ago, yet now it seems that with the help of the Immortal mentor, it has been reconnected!

Old monsters came out of their thousand years seclusions, as the three holy lands called for an unprecedented meeting between all of them, the Immortal mentor had given them the honor to be the ones to lead the Mortal plane in the upcoming war!
