"Restraining power?"
Ling Xian frowned. This restraining power wasn't too strong. With his capabilities today, he could easily break through it.
What he was curious about was where this restraining power came from. Based on what he could sense, this restraining power seemed to be getting stronger and stronger as he moved. It could even lock him down completely.
"Strange, why would there be restraining power after breaking through? Also, it will get stronger. "
Ling Xian frowned and suddenly remembered an ancient record. He had a realization.
Because of some unknown reason, nobody from the Taoism community has ascended in 30,000 years. Heaven and Earth became incomplete. Therefore, when a cultivator breaks through to the fifth level, they will be locked down by Heaven and Earth.
If the cultivator stays in a restricted area, then he will be safe. But if he runs in another direction, the restraining power will be added to him. The further he goes, the stronger the restraining power gets.
This was why when Ling Xian was in Yuezhou, even though he defeated the seven Sects and 18 Houses, not a single fifth level cultivator came to kill him.
It wasn't that they didn't want to, it was that they couldn't.
"The Heavenly Dao is damaged and restricts cultivators of the fifth level. Could it be … I will have to stay in the Palace of Heaven's Favorites forever?"
Ling Xian bitterly smiled, feeling troubled. However, he didn't think too much about it. Things will eventually turn out the way and there will be a solution.
Therefore, he leaped out of the Pool of Path.
Currently, the Sun was hanging high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of golden light that illuminated the dense forest.
The leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites was wearing a white robe. His hair was white and his complexion was young.
Behind him, Le Wu Xia and the other powerhouses were sitting in a lotus position with their eyes closed, waiting patiently.
When they sensed Ling Xian's presence, they all opened their eyes at the same time. Then, shock flashed across their faces!
Ling Xian's brows were straight like swords and his eyes were bright like stars. He was extraordinarily handsome. Time didn't leave any traces on his face. He looked just like he did 10 years ago.
His body was circulating with energy and was in sync with Heaven and Earth. Like an immortal, his demeanor was out of this world and unpredictable.
This shocked everyone. Even the leader of the Palace of Heaven's Favorites had a flash of light in his eyes.
He looked at Ling Xian who was slowly walking over and hesitated, "You … you broke through to the fifth level?"
"Not bad."
Ling Xian nodded with a smile. Within his calmness, there was warmth, "What's so strange about that? After all, I have the help of the Pool of Path."
Hearing this, the old man's heart was in turmoil. Even though he had guessed it, after hearing Ling Xian admit it himself, he still felt extremely shocked.
The other kings were the same.
The Dao Choosing Pool was indeed a wondrous place, having the miraculous effect of helping living beings quickly break through to the Dao Choosing Realm. However, it was not a hundred percent success rate, and the success rate was very low.
At least, none of them broke through. Yet Ling Xian succeeded. Why wouldn't they be shocked?
"Even with the help of the Dao Choosing Pool, breaking through is still a very difficult task. None of them have broken through."
The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. "You really are a monster."
"I have stayed longer." Ling Xian softly grinned, as calm as ever.
After breaking through to realm five, his mind became calmer and more transcendent.
"Time is a factor, but it is not the most important factor. I think it's because your heart of Dao is very determined, smooth, and flawless."
The old man exclaimed, "To be so determined at such a young age, you truly are extraordinary. I wonder which path you chose?"
Then, curiosity flashed across his eyes.
The other powerhouses were the same.
The reason why they didn't break through wasn't because they didn't stay long enough. It was because they were hesitant and didn't know what path to choose.
Yet Ling Xian was so determined. Naturally, they were curious.
"Nothing. I just randomly chose a path."
Ling Xian softly smiled but didn't elaborate. He understood that if he told them that the path he chose was the undefeatable path, then everyone would be even more shocked.
After all, it was the hardest path to walk in the world!
Seeing that Ling Xian didn't want to say more, the old man didn't pursue the topic. He smiled, "Since you have come out, then I will tell you about the mysterious fortune."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned heated and they all looked at the old man.
Ling Xian's interest was piqued.
At this, the old man mysteriously smiled, "I wonder if you have heard of the World of Immortality?"
At those words, the powerhouses' expressions changed.
In the past half year, Feng Lie's incident had caused a commotion in the world. Everyone knew about it. Though they were inside the Palace of Heaven's Favorites, they received many messages and naturally heard about it.
They had some understanding of the World of Immortality.
As for Ling Xian, his entire body quivered.
Back then, he once read about nine mysterious places in an ancient book. The Palace of Fortune, the Imperishable Temple, and the Great Mausoleum were places he had been to.
His intuition told him that there must be some kind of connection between these places and that there was a great secret hidden within.
Now that he heard about the World of Immortality, he was naturally shocked. He couldn't wait to ask, "Palace Master, can you explain in detail?"
"The World of Immortality is the same as the Taoism community. It is a world within this world."
The old man looked at Ling Xian strangely, "The land there is vast, about the size of 10 Taoism communities. The spiritual energy there is also more than 100 times denser. It is a world that is very suitable for cultivation."
"More importantly, the Heaven's Path is only slightly damaged. It is not as serious as the Taoism community."
Pausing, the old man continued in a low voice, "I bet you have felt it as well. You are trapped."
"That's right."
Ling Xian nodded softly and frowned at the same time, very confused.
He originally thought that the World of Immortality was like the other three mysterious places – a small, independent world. But based on what the old man said, it was a world just like the Taoism community!
This created a giant wave in his heart. He didn't think another world really existed.
At the same time, he was very confused and couldn't figure out how these places were connected.
"Aye, this is because the Heaven's Path is severely damaged."
The old man sighed and said in a serious tone, "Why is the Taoism community getting weaker and weaker? Until today, there isn't even a sixth leveled cultivator? Let me tell you the reason. It is because the Heaven's Path is damaged and hinders the cultivation path of living beings. At the same time, it is also because of the lack of spiritual energy. "
"As long as the Heaven's Path doesn't recover, the Taoism community will continue to decline. All living beings can only reach the fifth level and they cannot move freely."
"What's the difference between that and the living dead? Others might think that level-five is enough, but to you peerlessly talented geniuses, this is just the beginning. "
"I don't want to see your cultivation path end because the Heaven's Path is damaged. To the Taoism community, you are the hope for revival!"
"Only when you become strong can the Taoism community return to the glory it was 30,000 years ago. Or even brighter!"
Hearing this, Ling Xian was shocked.
Even though he didn't know the details, he knew the reason why the Taoism community was declining. It was because the Heaven's Path was damaged and was slowly crumbling. He just didn't think it would be this serious!
