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 stime. 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.”

“A restriction?” 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 | 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.

Ameera paused for a moment, then suddenly voiced a startling conclusion. “After the investigations of those old

seniors, they think it’s highly likely that Mount Jacaster didn’t close naturally. Instead, it appears to be due to

human intervention.”

“Human intervention?” Emrys was shocked.

A look 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!

Upon hearing these words, Emrys finally couldn't help but gasp. Mount Jacaster is a pathway to the cultivation

realm. It's one thing for it to be closed off, but Ameera is even tellingthat even that strange durance vile is

said to be due to human intervention. How could anyone possibly believe such a thing?

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!” Ameera spoke without hesitation, her voice filled with unwavering certainty. “I once read in an ancient

text that among the many magics of friars, there exists a powerful supernatural power, Eclipse Artistry, that is

capable of achieving this feat.”

A friar? A supernatural power, Eclipse Artistry? For sunknown 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 schof things known as Cassius.
