As for the master of Ghost Gate Pass, Guan Ling did not reveal much.
She bluntly told Shen Mo and Chen Mengze that, given their current cultivation and attainments, knowing too much of the "truth" would harm their Dao Hearts. It would not be a good thing.
Thus, Guan Ling merely mentioned a few details concerning her master and her master's enemies.
According to Guan Ling,
the master of Ghost Gate Pass, like Shen Mo and Chen Mengze, had not originated from the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm. She had ascended into the Immortal Realm from a world on the verge of complete decay.
The moment she attained the Dao, she cultivated into a Divine Immortal.
Later, when her merits and cultivation were fulfilled and she had rendered great service to Heaven and Earth, she was granted a Heavenly Book and became a Celestial Immortal.
The Heaven and Earth Guan Ling spoke of did not refer merely to the Xuanhuang Immortal Realm. It also encompassed countless lower realms, worlds like the Primordial Beginning Realm and the Evil Gu Realm that were gradually withering away, and even the Specter Realm. It could be regarded as this entire cosmic Heaven and Earth.
The true body of Ghost Gate Pass was in fact a pass guarding the gateway of Heaven and Earth, while its master was more like a female general who kept enemies beyond the pass.
The enemies of this peerless female immortal were beings of the same level. If they were not Celestial Immortals, then they were Divine Immortals. Since hundreds of millions of years ago, they had constantly sought to infiltrate this cosmos with their power.
In Guan Ling's eyes, these people were a pack of madmen endlessly pursuing the Great Dao, their minds twisted and tainted by the Great Dao itself.
