"The captive world"
No one has ascended in Cangyun Continent for more than 30,000 years.
According to legend, in order to maintain their immortality and rule, the Immortal Sect of the Upper Realm used great supernatural powers to cut off the direct connection between the Lower Realm and the "Dao of Heaven" and built a "ladder to heaven" that only they could pass.
All high-level spiritual energy and fairy energy will be siphoned to the upper world through the ladder to heaven.
The monks in the lower realm can only reach the "Great Perfection of Divine Transformation", and then they will become dead due to exhaustion of spiritual energy, or they will be harvested as nourishment by the "inspectors" descended from the upper realm.
The birth of Lin Ye
The ancestor of the demon cultivator Youquan discovered this secret and tried to bypass the restrictions of the ladder to the sky by using a man-made "chaos spirit body" to forcefully break through the sky.
The experiment failed, and Ancestor Youquan died, leaving only a "failure" with self-awareness - Lin Ye.
Lin Ye inherited the legacy of the demon cultivator and his crazy obsession: Since the sky cannot open my eyes, then I will transform into a calamity and burn through the sky!
I am a freshman in high school. I wrote a novel with my friends. I hope everyone will like it. Fellow Taoists can point out the things that are not well written, thank you all (the author is a fan of Master Gu)
