• Ning Qi found a Bronze Immortal Coffin that absorbed his Immortal Power, then expelled it when he sent in Limitless Evil Qi; he could not open the coffin or move the nearby Bronze Divine Tree and Immortal Ore.

• Ning Qi summoned talented Cultivators to Enlightenment Plaza to hear the three Old Ancestors discuss their Dao arts and prepare for the choice of becoming immortals.

Ning Qi, Sage Ancestor, and Sea Ancestor discussed the stages of True Immortals and agreed to face the unknown path to immortality together. Sea Ancestor tested a method for revealing an Immortal Gate’s grade, but World Sea Energy disrupted the test, so Ning Qi proposed deciphering the Rune Array for everyone to use.

• Sea Ancestor explained that newly ascended immortals gained Immortal Power, while True Immortals condensed and cultivated Great Dao Fruits through the Nine Grades.

• World Sea Energy in Sea Ancestor’s body caused the test gate to flicker and vanish before its grade could be confirmed.
• After Sage Ancestor said he could not use the Taiyin Gate method, Ning Qi proposed deciphering its Rune Array and adapting it for everyone.

After condensing and dismissing a Golden Immortal Gate, he transformed his rune arrays with Yin-Yang Great Dao Power and absorbed the resulting Great Dao Talisman Array Fruit.
