Background / History

The Immortal Gate is a naturally existing, unlocatable entity that is said to exist outside ordinary time: neither fate nor karma can touch it, and it is described as unborn, undying, undestroyed, and incapable of increase, decrease, defilement, or purification. Cultivators who reach the necessary threshold may open it, undergo an immortal transformation, and normally lose all access to it once the process ends 700.

Every cultivator who condenses an Immortal Principle receives an Immortal Gate Projection. This projection functions as an unalterable lifelong mark, preserving the cultivator's immortal path, destiny, fate, and original imprint; it vanishes only upon their complete death 973. Further breakthroughs after reaching the Human Immortal Realm likewise summon projections, though these cannot ordinarily be retained 833.

The gate is considered an absolute taboo due to the fate of the Lord of Myriad Immortals. Seeking to make an Immortal Gate the symbol of his Myriad Immortal Dynasty, he used thirty-six thousand Great Emperor chains to forcibly lock and refine one. A single tremor from the gate shattered the chains, collapsed his Dao, and erased his immortal soul, true spirit, avatars, fate, and karma. The resulting backlash implicated more than seven thousand Immortal Sovereigns 700.

Li Yun first senses the gate after the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Law repeatedly impacts his divine soul and Mysterious Gate Dao Seed 667. Following his Immortal Soul Tribulation, his manifestation violates the normal pattern by remaining open inside his Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo, where it continuously strengthens his immortal soul, Great Dao Rivers, and body 700.

The Mysterious Immortal Gate later fuses with Li Yun's Limitless Great Dao, granting him increasing access to its projections and powers 811. Its link to the Supreme Immortal Gate allows Li Yun to receive Immortal Substance, inspect other cultivators through their projections, create passages between gates, and ultimately refine multiple Supreme Immortal Gates into his body 877 891 1289.

Appearance

The Immortal Gate generally manifests as an ancient, illusory portal suffused with pure and primordial Immortal Might. Li Yun's resident manifestation stands within the Mysterious Gate World and later displays spontaneously appearing runes along its pillars 741 760.

  • Its open portal releases strands of aura carrying Immortal Rhythm 700.
  • Its interior contains an exceptionally high-order space-time passage 742.
  • A thin, illusory curtain separates the passage from the world beyond 742.
  • When Li Yun fuses his consciousness with the Supreme Immortal Gate, he experiences it as an incomparably massive ancient stone gate suppressing both a continent and the Chaos Great Void 1177.
  • The Nine-in-One form can open a previously unseen passage within itself 1336.

  • Ordinary cultivators receive only minute, imperceptible amounts of Immortal Substance through projections during advancement 877.
  • Immortal Venerables can sense and enter an Immortal Gate Projection to reach the Immortal Scar Realm, but the route is normally one-way 833.

  • A projection can reveal a target's cultivation, Great Dao, treasures, fate, karma, and future trajectory to him 878.
  • He can lock onto Immortal Gates below the Immortal Emperor level within range; on Luankong Island, he identifies seventeen gates deep underground 895.
  • The Supreme Immortal Gate records traces of everything within the Chaos Great Void, though the information is too vast for Li Yun to search without a focused target 1090.

Suppression and Combat

The gate's Immortal Might can suppress entities and phenomena beyond Li Yun's ordinary cultivation.

  • It autonomously intervenes when Mad Saber Immortal nearly breaks the Mystic Gate's Forbidden Divine Charm, crushing the True Immortal's remnant saber intent in combination with the charm 760 761.
  • An illusory manifestation suppresses all Blazing Immortal Fire in an Immortal Array 811.
  • Li Yun can deploy Immortal Gate Divine Might as a domain that crushes an Immortal Sovereign's body and restricts movement across one hundred thousand li of Chaotic Void 927.

Supreme Immortal Gate Power

The Supreme Immortal Gates are ancient Chaos treasures associated with the Immortal Realm and the Chaos Great Void.

  • Nine Supreme Immortal Gates exist; four were found and positioned at the Immortal Realm Continent's four extremities, while five were lost in the Chaos Great Void 1215.
  • They restrain Chaos Qi and formerly formed a defensive line difficult for ordinary Supreme Immortals to cross 1301.
  • The gate between the Immortal Realm Continent and the Immortal Scar Realm generally opens only during fluctuations occurring once every million years 1204.
  • Even Immortal Beings cannot force it open when the appropriate time has not arrived 1205.
  • Refining a gate releases Immortal Gate power that evolves into Qi for Li Yun's Three Thousand Great Daos 1328.
  • The completed Nine-in-One gate triggers the condensation of Godheads and produces an Innate Godhead from its internal passage 1336.

World Fusion

The Nine-in-One Supreme Immortal Gate can act as a foundation for merging worlds.

  • Guided by the Thoughts of All Beings, Li Yun uses it to pull part of the Myriad Gods Realm into the Secret Realm World 1506.
  • When empowered by three currents of Thoughts of All Beings, its entrance becomes a massive black hole with enough suction to distort the surrounding Void 1578.
  • Its expanding divine might gradually suppresses the Abyssal aura around Cangtu Continent and draws affected regions into the gate 1729.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Immortal Opportunity

The possibility of an Immortal Gate Phantom is introduced through the twelve Spirit Might Treasure Pearls, making the collection of the pearls a potential heaven-defying opportunity 85.

Li Yun's Immortal Soul Tribulation

Li Yun senses the gate after mastering the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Law, then opens it during his Immortal Soul Tribulation. Unlike all known precedent, the manifestation remains behind after the tribulation and takes residence in his Mysterious Gate Dao Embryo 667 700.

Exploration Beyond the Gate

Li Yun enters the gate's space-time passage, observes an existence beyond its curtain, and gains True Immortal-level Cognition from the passage itself 742. He later glimpses an Immortal Venerable through it and obtains the Immortal Venerable Technique, Divine Mountain Suppressing Void 743 833.

Source of Immortal Substance

As the gate fuses with Li Yun's Limitless Great Dao, it begins releasing Immortal Substance Droplets. This gives Li Yun a path toward immortality unavailable to most cultivators 811 877.

Supreme Immortal Gate Conflict

Li Yun's ability to perceive and manipulate projections makes him a threat to Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerables alike. He uses the gates to expose enemies, attack through their projections, and enter the Immortal Scar Realm 891 1101 1133.

Refinement of the Nine Gates

Li Yun discovers and seizes Supreme Immortal Gates in the Desperate Abyss, the Immortal Realm Continent, and the Secret Realm. Their progressive fusion raises his cultivation until all nine become one, producing Godheads and the Innate Godhead 1261 1289 1304 1336.

World-Scale Gate

After becoming Nine-in-One, the Supreme Immortal Gate develops into a tool for suppressing divine beasts, absorbing immense energy, and initiating the merger of entire worlds 1369 1506 1578.

Trivia

  • The Immortal Gate is described as more terrifying than the Seven Great Forbidden Lands of the Sacred Heaven Realm 700.
  • Li Yun believes the gate remaining within him may be a clone or projection rather than its true body, since the true body would be far beyond what his Dao Embryo could endure 700.
  • Mad Saber Immortal identifies the gate's aura as purer and more primordial than an ordinary immortal's Immortal Might, likening it to the origin of immortals 760.
  • The Desperate Abyss Supreme Immortal Gate is described as the core from which the Ancient Wilderness Realm itself evolved 1261.
