Break the situation
"Palace Master Zhong, what do you mean?" Yao Wuji asked.
Zhong Ling raised her eyelids and glanced at the nervous old faces, finding it a little funny.
"This Evil-Breaking Immortal Pill contains a trace of immortal principles. It might be able to forcibly create a crack in your body when you are overcoming the tribulation, but it is ultimately just a temporary solution. How many people can pass through the crack? What about the next time? And the next time?"
Zhong Ling stood up slowly, walked to the center of the hall, stretched out a finger and pointed at the ceiling.
"Have you ever thought that maybe it's not the road that's blocked, but the door that's closed, or... the door was locked from the other side?"
This metaphor made everyone stunned and then fell into deep thought.
They have always thought that there was something wrong with the way of heaven, or that the laws of the world were flawed, but they never thought of this possibility.
"Lock?" Everyone in the hall looked confused.
"Yes, a lock." Zhong Ling returned to her seat, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and explained, "I'm not interested in knowing exactly when the lock was put on, but the result is that the connection between this world's laws of nature and the upper realm has been forcibly severed."
"Impossible!" Shangguan Hong exclaimed, "Heaven is ruthless. Who can lock the Heaven of a world?"
"Yes, senior, who has such great ability?" Yao Wuji couldn't help but ask.
Zhong Ling glanced at them and said, "They are probably people from the upper realm."
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
"I beg Palace Master to save Canglan! Everyone in Tianjian Sect is willing to serve you, even if it means death!" Shangguan Hong suddenly knelt down and kowtowed.
Before coming to Zhongzheng Hall, Jian Zun sent him a message, saying that he calculated that Zhong Ling was the variable in Canglan Realm, and asked him to be more humble.
With Shangguan Hong taking the lead, Yao Wuji and others woke up as if from a dream, and knelt on the ground with sincere expressions.
"Please, Palace Master, save us!"
They understood that the elixir of immortality in Zhong Ling's hand was just a temporary solution. If they wanted to truly solve the problem, they could only rely on the person in front of them.
Facing the kneeling top warriors, Zhong Ling said slowly, "Save you? It's not impossible."
She paused, looking at everyone's expectant eyes, before continuing, "If you want to pry open this lock, you can't do it by yourself. You need to borrow someone else's strength."
"Please let me know, Palace Master!"
"First, find all the half-immortals who are still alive in your Canglan Realm, no matter if they are in seclusion or waiting to die, and not a single one can be left behind."
"Second, in the name of the five major sects, collect all the natural treasures in the entire Cangsang Realm that contain the laws of space and the power of origin. The more the better."
"Third," Zhong Ling looked at Shangguan Hong, "the sword tomb in the mountain behind Tianjianmen is a good place. I want to use it as the center of the formation."
Shangguan Hong heard this and said without hesitation, "It's up to the Palace Master to order!"
He knew very well that compared with the path to ascension, a mere sword tomb was not worth mentioning at all.
"Okay, that's all." Zhong Ling waved her hand. "Go and do everything. Come back to me when you have everything you need."
Everyone accepted the order and took their leave.
Soon, Zhong Ling was the only one left in the empty hall, and Xuan Ming had already been sent by Zhong Ling to find a room to practice. After all, his main task now was to improve his strength.
"The path to ascension is cut off, the gate to immortality is locked, this world is really quite interesting."
As an S-level tasker of the Space-Time Administration, she knew better than anyone that the operating rules of a mature world were very stable, and the disappearance of the ascension channel was by no means a natural evolution.
Or, there is a problem in the upper realm.
Or, someone or something put a lock on this world ten thousand years ago.
All she had to do was find the lock and pry it open.
…
Seven days later, many people came to the sword tomb in the back mountain of Tianjianmen.
The most eye-catching are the seventeen figures. These seventeen people are all the people in Canglan Realm who have failed to pass the tribulation and are still alive in the past ten thousand years.
The terrifying pressure from them, belonging to the demigods, made the entire sword tomb feel low-pressure.
Behind them were piles of rare treasures collected from all over Canglan in the past few days.
The entire sword tomb was silent, and everyone was present.
Another quarter of an hour passed before Zhong Ling came over.
She walked to the center, glanced at the seventeen half-immortals, and then looked at the treasures.
It’s okay, Zhong Ling nodded secretly.
When the seventeen semi-immortals saw Zhong Ling, they immediately stepped forward and bowed.
"Senior," the speaker was called Mo Yuan, "everyone has arrived, seventeen in total. All the spaces and origin treasures that can be found in the realm are also here."
Zhong Ling nodded gently, "I understand."
"Then let's get started."
After she finished speaking, Zhong Lingsu raised her hand and casually made a move towards the pile of treasures.
The next second, thousands of rare treasures soared into the sky and hovered above the sword tomb.
Void Stone, Source Crystal, Star Iron, Chaos Soil...
Everyone present felt their scalps tingling.
Zhong Ling's fingertips lightly passed through the air, and the main peak of the sword tomb was split open, revealing the Gengjin sword energy hidden deep underneath.
"Using the sword tomb as the foundation, drawing thousands of swords as the bones."
As she finished speaking, the suspended treasures began to melt, turning into the purest original liquid, and gathered in the air to form a colorful galaxy.
This galaxy slowly flowed into the opened sword tomb, blending with the violent Gengjin sword energy.
"You, enter the formation." Zhong Ling's eyes swept over the seventeen semi-immortals.
The seventeen people did not dare to delay. With a flash of their bodies, they landed on the seventeen nodes around the sword tomb.
As soon as they stood still, they felt that the formation under their feet seemed to come alive, and a force was closely connected with them through the formation.
"Give it all you have and pour your strength into the core of the formation."
The seventeen semi-immortals have been waiting for this day for too long. Some of them even outlasted their own relatives and sects, leaving only the obsession of ascending to heaven.
At this moment, even if it meant burning their souls, they would be willing to do it.
"drink!"
Seventeen beams of spiritual light were shot into the center of the sword tomb. The earth was shaking violently, and the sky changed color. The uninformed monks looked in horror in the direction of Tianjianmen, wondering what big event had happened there.
On the sword tomb, the ancient formation was activated, and countless runes flew out from the ground, interweaving into a giant net covering the sky and the earth.
Zhong Ling stood in the center of this huge net.
She raised her head, and through the endless void, she saw the shackles that locked the entire world.
"rise!"
It merged the essence of countless treasures with the power of sword intent, transforming into a thick pillar of chaotic light, and slammed fiercely towards the sky!
Rumble——
The beam of light hit an invisible barrier, and visible ripples appeared across the sky.
The barrier was indestructible. No matter how hard the beam of light hit it, it only caused ripples and showed no signs of breaking.
The faces of the seventeen semi-immortals turned pale. They could feel that the power in their bodies was being drained at an alarming speed, but the barrier did not move at all.
