The Heaven-Pillar is a special form of energy—ordinary people can’t see it; only cultivators can perceive its existence.
"Should I go scout out the Heavenly Court?"
Staring at the Heaven-Pillar, Ian Song had this thought.
After a brief hesitation, Ian stepped forward and entered the beam of light. Instantly, he sensed the presence of another space—this had to be the legendary Heavenly Court.
But according to intel from the Land Gods and Mountain Gods, even if you find the Heaven-Pillar, without a Heavenly Court invitation token, it’s nearly impossible to ascend.
With a thought, Ian’s body slowly began to rise.
At first, he didn’t feel anything, but after rising a hundred meters, Ian felt a pressure pushing against him, stopping him from going higher. This force was enough to suppress Golden-Core cultivators, making it impossible for them to ascend even an inch further.
Two hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
Five hundred meters!
One thousand meters!
At this height, the pressure skyrocketed, dozens of times stronger. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would struggle to fly any higher against it—but for Ian, it was nothing!
He sped up and soared to ten thousand meters.
The pressure surged again, enough to suppress anyone below the Soul-Split realm. But the Heaven-Pillar had reached its end—he saw a thin, transparent Barrier Realm ahead.
According to the Land Gods, this Barrier Realm is packed with powerful offensive force—anyone who tries to break through without an invitation token will be attacked.
You could say the Barrier Realm is a kind of formation array.
But as a grandmaster of formations, Ian Song didn’t take this Barrier Realm seriously. He released his Primordial Spirit and found that the barrier’s surface was about ten acres in area.
It took Ian just ten breaths to see through the mysteries of the Barrier Realm.
He formed hand-seals with both hands, casting dozens of formation techniques in rapid succession. Each turned into dots of green light that sank into the barrier and were absorbed. Then, a door just tall enough for one person appeared.
With a flicker, Ian slipped through the door and entered the Barrier Realm.
