Chapter 823 Durance Vile
Here we go again. Something that happened twenty years ago, and the mention
of Mount Jacaster, Emrys asked, “What exactly is Mount Jacaster, and why was
it closed off?”
This issue had been troubling him for quite some time. When Emrys successfully
caught Athos previously, he had asked the latter about it. However, the silly old
man’s response was frivolous and vague.
Emrys had no choice but to ask Ameera.
Ameera responded, “Mount Jacaster serves as a portal. The cultivators there are
incredibly powerful. Its original location is right in the heart of Mount Kushburn.
However, something inexplicable happened over twenty years ago. Mount
Jacaster mysteriously vanished, severing all connections between our world and
that of the cultivators. The barrier of the absolute—phase Golden Elixir Stage
appeared at that time. No. To be more precise, it wasn’t a barrier, but rather a
restriction.”
“Arestriction?” Emrys asked in surprise. “What does that mean?”
With a complex expression, Ameera said, “If it were merely a barrier, the result
would be that cultivators couldn't break through from the Golden Elixir Stage to
the Nascent Soul Stage. However, from what I understand, the actual situation is
far more complicated than that. One of the old seniors at Cloudmist Academy
had already reached the Nascent Soul Stage in his cultivation before Mount
Jacaster’s closure. However, after Mount Jacaster was sealed, his cultivation
level fell to the absolute—phase of the Golden Elixir Stage.”
After Emrys heard that, his expression instantly faltered. The closure of Mount
Jacaster even led to a decrease in those people's cultivation levels. Indeed, this
should not be referred to as a barrier but rather a restriction. This restriction limits
the stage of cultivators in this world to the Golden Elixir Stage. No one can break
through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
In the past, Emrys heard his master, Athos, say that the most powerful stage in
the world was the Golden Elixir Stage. At that time, Emrys thought that the
Nascent Soul Stage could not be achieved due to the scarcity of spirit energy.
Looking back now, that wasn’t quite the case.
The root cause of all that wasn’t due to the issue with spirit energy. Instead, it
was the restriction that emerged after the closure of Mount Jacaster.
But why did this happen? Emrys was truly baffled.
At that moment, Ameera spoke again. “The elders of Mount Kushburn, those who
have reached the absolute—phase of the Golden Elixir Stage, have been in
seclusion. They are deeply engrossed in unraveling the mystery of the
disappearance of Mount Jacaster and in figuring out how to break the durance
vile.”
Originally, they didn’t cross Mount Jacaster in time. As a result, once Mount
Jacaster was scaled, it suppressed those cultivators who had surpassed the
Golden Elixir Stage, reducing their cultivation base back to the Golden Elixir
Stage. Moreover, that suppression lasted for more than twenty years. Emrys
figured those elders must be utterly frustrated.

suddenly voiced a startling

“Human intervention?” Emrys was shocked.
Alook of disbelief washed over Ameera’s face as well, her expression serious as
she confirmed, “Yes. It's due to human intervention. Moreover, that durance vile
seems to be a deliberate human intervention too!”
Gasp!

Emrys was stunned for quite a while before he managed to gather his thoughts.
He asked, “What kind of entity could possess such terrifying power to restrict an
entire world?”

A friar? A supernatural power, Eclipse Artistry? For some unknown reason, Emrys
suddenly thought of someone. Cassius.
Once upon a time, while Athos was assisting Emrys in unraveling the mysteries
surrounding him, he had let slip a piece of information. There was a pivotal
character in that grand scheme of things known as Cassius.
