And now, the place where Zhaoyang Sword Master is located is deep in the Astrology Pavilion, where Yan Qing’s real body is located.

Yan Qing would use the teleportation array to teleport Zhaoyang Jianzun here and meet Zhaoyang Jianzun in his true form because of the plot requirements.

As for the attic and bamboo forest that Zhaoyang Jianzun saw now, it was actually an illusion created by Yan Qing using his power to conceal the star trajectory of the Astrology Pavilion.

Before Zhaoyang Sword Master spoke, Yan Qing had not expected that he would recognize that this was her true form at a glance. She suppressed the slight surprise in her heart and chuckled, "Zhaoyang Sword Master has good eyesight."

Hearing Yan Qing's admission, Zhaoyang Sword Master's eyes grew even darker, and a sense of defeat suddenly rose in his heart.

It was just a clone, he had no power to fight back.

Is the gap really so terrifying above the Mahayana stage? But since Master Ling Wei's cultivation is already above the Mahayana stage, why hasn't he ascended to the upper realm yet?

When he thought of this question, Zhaoyang Jianzun remembered the purpose of his visit. His eyes changed slightly, becoming much more solemn and serious.

"This junior came here under the guidance of our sect's ancestors."

He raised his pair of eyes that were like cold stars, and said in a low voice: "No one has ascended to heaven in the cultivation world for a hundred years. Your Excellency knows the hidden reason."

The gentle smile on Yan Qing's face slowly faded, and Zhaoyang Sword Master could not tell any emotion from those eyes covered by white silk.

Yan Qing naturally knew who the ancestor that Zhaoyang Jianzun was talking about was. He was the first leader of the Sword Sect and also the best friend of Qingyun Immortal back then.

At that time, the original body also called the sect leader "Uncle Master".

This is also one of the reasons why Yan Qing has not kicked the man out even though Zhaoyang Sword Master has already sacrificed his natal magic sword towards the Liangyi Formation.

As for the other reason, it is of course because Jian Zun is the protagonist’s master.

It’s just that the latter point cannot be said now.

Faced with Zhaoyang Jianzun's questioning, Yan Qing finally told him the truth.

"The immortal ladder has collapsed, and the path to ascension is cut off."

Zhaoyang Jianzun's heart sank. If this news were to get out of the world of cultivation, there would probably never be peace in the world of cultivation again.

At the same time, a thought flashed through Zhaoyang Jianzun's mind. Was this also one of the reasons why Ling Weizun did not ascend?

Yan Qing naturally had no idea about the thought behind Zhaoyang Sword Master's thoughts.

Yan Qing slightly turned sideways, her snow-white robe fluttering, and she asked, "After Sword Master broke through to the Mahayana stage, he should have noticed something."

Hearing this, Zhaoyang Sword Master paused. When he broke through to the Mahayana stage, he did vaguely sense that some bond between heaven and earth seemed to be broken.

But he never thought that the immortal ladder would collapse.

Yan Qing also noticed the disbelief in Zhaoyang Sword Master's eyes, she turned around and sighed.

The next second, a pair of cool fingertips landed on Zhaoyang Jianzun's brows, and that person's voice was calm, with the power to soothe people's hearts.

"This is the scene I predicted."

Feeling the warmth coming from that person's fingertips, Zhaoyang Jianzun's body inevitably became stiff in an instant, and his fingers in his sleeves clenched indifferently.

But before he could explore the reason for his reaction, his mind was completely captured by the image that suddenly appeared in his mind.

In the picture, he seemed to be there, watching the Immortal Staircase crumble into pieces and being unable to do anything.

And at the original position of the immortal ladder, a crack slowly appeared, and countless black air poured out from the crack, swallowing up the spiritual energy.

The time in the picture seemed to pass very quickly. When the perspective changed, he had left the Immortal Ladder without knowing when. Looking at the world of cultivation again, it was devastated and the cultivators all had despair on their faces. Some cultivators with more advanced behaviors even blew up their own Dantian after knowing that there was no hope of ascending.

Blood rain dripped down, and wherever Zhaoyang Sword Master's eyes looked, there was either blood or black air seeping out from the cracks...
