In the Lower Realms
Large golden gates opened with a heavy creak sound and a handsome man with messy brown hair stood with a greatsword in hand. He walked calmly towards the brightly shining throne about a kilometer away from the gates. Although he looked completely exhausted, his steps were firm and heavy, an evidence of the immense power he wielded within. Three thrones were lined up on the left side, with four on the right side of the long marble path the man walked on, each of them covered in various elements; tree, wind, fire, earth, time, destruction and creation.
The first throne from the left, nearest to the brightly shining throne was covered in an unknown shade of green, the tree element. The one sitting on that throne was a lanky man with green eyes and a green robe. He looked calmly at the man approaching the bright throne with an unpredictable smile on his lips.
The next throne had a whooshing wind, quiet yet powerful. It was easy to tell it was the wind element. The one who sat on the throne was a woman who had a cloud mask on her face with white hair and clear blue eyes.
The next was fire and there was a swirling yellowish flame behind him, strangely warping ever so slightly around him and his throne. He had a smirk on his face, his thoughts unknown.
The following thrones were earth, time, destruction and light each with their element signals around their thrones.
They were the Six Immortals of this Sect, the second most powerful entities in the cultivation world, a stage above Nascent Soul, Immortal Ascension stage.
The most powerful entities were Ascension Gods in the Lower Realms, like the formless creature who 'sat' on the throne. They were the ones who could perfectly combine all of the elements of existence with cultivation stages, Transient Coalescence and above.
Rumors claimed there were entities above Ascension Gods and for the past ten thousand years, only two people have reached that stage, a stage where all elements were meaningless and one could gain a specific attunement, with that, you can control every single thing with traces of that attunement. "Eternal Celestials". They could create life forms and planets.
There were three females; one representing wind, the other destruction and another creation. The other three elements had male representatives.
He finally got closer to the throne at the center and he finally relented from the pressure and exhaustion. His knees gave in and he knelt on the marble floor, almost blacking out.
All Immortals naturally gave off an oppressive aura that could instantly kill an Earth Mortal rank cultivator.
But this man who was only a stage above the Earth Mortal was able to walk calmly in the face of such an aura.
It was clear proof how strong his will and state of mind was.
One of the Immortals, Immortal of Rain, looked at him and said calmly,
"A puny human at the Sword Mortal stage dares to enter the Immortal Temple of the Upper Heavens"
However, the one sitting on the bright throne did not disdain the young man, for he knew how difficult it was for someone with an insufficient cultivation stage to pass the gate trials. The fact that he had gotten here meant he possessed immense talent and prowess. It made him wonder what element he had. The element one was born could be examined by the iris colour.
Green was the tree element, white was wind, red was fire, dark brown was earth, time had a strange color; it was a mixture of all colors, constantly warping and giving off an eerie vibe , destruction was dark grey, creation was bright. His eyes were green.
'Tree?', he thought and a frown appeared on his face. Tree element cultivators were weak and common. Only one in a million of tree element cultivators had the power to become Immortals and they became the representatives of their element in the Immortal Temple.
However, he felt there was more to this young man's capabilities than the eye could see so he looked at his spirit roots.
'It should be that of stagnant river containing colored water according to his element attribute', he thought as he peered into his body with his spiritual eyes and he was greatly surprised.
