The Origin Of The Immortal Ascension Lockout?

Ling Tian kept frowning, thinking what could be happening. He didn't try to get any closer, as the distance of several miles he was at was as close as he could get before worsening his injuries.

Ling Tian cast his spirit sense all around him several times, and after searching for a long time every inch of the void, he had confirmed his thoughts by finding small traces of webs and energy formations!

There was a giant and infinite formation spread out and complementing each other throughout the void!

Ling Tian couldn't help but feel a trace of fear and solemnity upon seeing the terror of this giant formation, consequently this was shared through his connection with his wives, instantly feeling more or less the terrifying situation Ling Tian was in and worrying about him.

The twin tree in his heart came into play and a great and powerful vitality steadily healed his wounds, closing them completely and leaving the skin as smooth and soft as before.

But at the terrifying speed that the destructive forces of the void were constantly crashing into Ling Tian caused an endless cycle of his body taking damage and healing every moment. The mostly messy and torn robe was quickly dyed with blood, giving a chilling appearance.

However, despite all the wounds that kept appearing all over his body did not even make Ling Tian frown. Ling Tian knew that the spiritual twin tree of life in his heart was constantly healing his wounds, so he did not worry as he watched the phenomenon several meters in front of him. In addition, the body refining technique was active, withstanding the heavy and destructive energies of the place, refining them and tempering the body at every moment.

But confusion and disorientation flooded his mind, unable to comprehend what was happening in front of him.

How could there be a strange formation in the middle of the void?

Moreover, the chaotic energy of this formation crashing into the void itself was creating this kind of spiritual pulse!

It was to be known that the entire universe was made up of natural matrices and formations, delimiting and creating unique and special zones, whether from small worlds to the great immortal planes. This is one of the natural principles from the origin!

But what kept puzzling Ling Tian was that the more he observed this formation, the more he realized that it was made by someone!

Who would be so powerful to be able to do this?

Not even the great formation masters in the Immortal Realm could display a powerful formation in the void that could last for hundreds and thousands of years and even be at the same level of power as the void!

This array seemed to spread throughout the void! It wouldn't even be strange if this formation completely surrounded the Cultivation World...

Ling Tian narrowed his eyes as he thought of many things. Even he at his peak in the Immortal Realm might not be able to successfully perform this.

But what puzzled Ling Tian much more was that he could feel that the faint and thin energy partially exuded by this formation slightly resonated with the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures!

Powerful formation that was built through some unique treasure from heaven?

Ling Tian could only think of this. The array he observed clearly seemed to be artificially made, but it also carried a trace of natural treasure from heaven.

The Sacred Heavenly Scriptures reacted slightly to this formation before calming down, as if paying no further attention to it. His profound intuition also did not move, indicating to Ling Tian that there seemed to be no hidden danger in this formation.

Time continued to pass endlessly, Ling Tian still studying this small crack in the void as he continued to move through all of space, dodging the terrifying destructive forces of the void.

The repair of his meridians had already almost reached halfway, but unexpectedly the speed gradually slowed down, barely reaching 50% before stopping. It seemed that the mysterious energy in the spiritual pulse reached its limit.

Ling Tian quickly understood that it would be useless to stay any longer in this place. He was already quite satisfied with the great progress of repairing his meridians. The recovery time had easily been shortened by far by half.

"It couldn't be true... or could it?"

After an indeterminate amount of time, Ling Tian frowned as he looked at the mysterious formation before his eyes that was no longer completely hidden. The vast experience and knowledge of the formations surfaced in his mind quickly.

An ominous and frightening feeling flashed through mind as he realized what kind of formation it could be.

Spreading out like a kind of net that enveloped the entire void and even the cultivation world mysteriously... wouldn't it be a powerful formation to block immortal ascension, preventing anyone to ascend to the higher plane?!

Ling Tian's face contracted the more he thought about this possibility. This formation clearly bore a lot of resemblance to spatial and spiritual blocking formations, which could prevent anything from powerful cultivators escaping to the gathering of world spiritual energy in a certain area.

If this formation really was built for this purpose, then it would make sense that no one had been able to ascend to the immortal plane since ancient times, turning the Immortal World into a legend and myth!

Ling Tian could not think of anything else other than blocking immortal ascension. What else could a formation in the middle of the void serve for other than to prevent cultivators of the Cultivation World from ascending to other higher planes?

But contradictions always existed and clashed with Ling Tian's thoughts, seeing things from another perspective. He knew that nothing was what it appeared on the surface, so this formation might have another hidden function that even he was unaware of. Even at this moment the suppression in his body was extremely frightening, wanting to restrict more than half of his strength the closer he got.

At the same time, a confusion came over his mind as he recalled the past. Clearly he had ascended to the Immortal World in the past with this type of formation existing, so it didn't make sense that he was the only one who was able to ascend while the Cultivation World was apparently blocked.

The only reason Ling Tian found was to be the holder of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures that at that time had not become what they were today.

There were many things Ling Tian was unaware of in the past, and he was just beginning to grow and learn at that time, so he might have overlooked many things, especially related to the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures.

"If I destroy it, could I break the lockout of the immortal ascension?"

Ling Tian paused momentarily as this thought filled his mind. If he could break the formation that lay here, wouldn't it be possible that the ascension call could be felt, finally being able to ascend to the immortal plane?

Although he was not certain that one could ascend directly to the Immortal World, there were great possibilities of ascending to other small worlds or continents of the higher plane!

A bright and somewhat slender spear appeared in Ling Tian's hand without taking his eyes off the void formation. The power of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures began to rapidly flow into his body, connecting with the spiritual spear in his hand, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Um?"

Ling Tian suddenly frowned as he felt a faint intuition the more he observed the deep darkness of the small void crack, gazing beyond the apparent formation.

Ling Tian could pick up a slightly familiar feeling the more he observed the depth of the void crack.

Gritting his teeth tightly as a trace of hesitation crossed his eyes, Ling Tian made up his mind and guided his spirit sense quickly but carefully towards this void crack, quickly encountering the unfolded formation.

* Boom! *

Waves of forces expanded the next moment as the spirit sense collided with the formation. Destructive forces of the void increased in great folds, turning the place chaotic.

Ling Tian's pupils shrank sharply upon seeing this and he strongly waved the spear in his hand in front of him dissipating much of the void shockwaves that reached towards him in an instant.

But Ling Tian's figure could not help but recoil back several meters as he spat out a faint puff of blood when he could not fully counter the void shockwaves and the spear shattered into pieces. His face tightened in mild pain as a horrible pain assaulted his head. Ling Tian's Consciousness Sea shook fiercely for a moment before calming down; the little sprout exuded a mysterious energy gradually healing the Consciousness Sea, repairing the small cracks that had appeared and nourishing the little sea constantly.

Ling Tian coughed a few more times, letting out a few less drops of blood before gasping heavily and showing a solemn and serious expression. His spirit sense had been severely damaged in this single encounter and even his body suffered great injuries, falling into a somewhat delicate state.

The power of the twin spiritual tree entered with greater vigor, beginning to heal his horrible wounds. Coupled with the powerful recovery of his body's refining level, the wounds on Ling Tian healed at an incredible speed.

However, Ling Tian's serious gaze momentarily flashed before he spat out a few words, "Void Sword!"
