The Pillar To Heaven.

There existed a flight of stairs on the edge of the pillar which gradually spiraled upward through the sky.

In ancient legends, whenever a person tried to scale this flight of stairs, supernatural phenomena would manifest from above the sky, with a resounding heavenly aria and countless heavenly beings would appear to bear witness.

But that was in the past.

At present, never mind heavenly beings, the Pillar To Heaven itself had already been broken.

Which was followed by a fact that caused many cultivators to feel despair------

There were fewer and fewer cultivators who successfully broke through and became a Sumeru Lord realm cultivator.

For the past few thousand years, there essentially hadn't been any cultivator who achieved Sumeru Lord realm.

The civilization of cultivators seemed to have entered an era where advancement gradually became harder.

In the middle of the night.
