At that moment, a vast and sacred white beam of light flashed across the void, revealing the Immortal Ascension Ladder leading to the Immortal Realm.
Gazing at the winding, endlessly stretching steps of the Immortal Ascension Ladder, the crowd buzzed with overwhelming excitement. They scrambled to enter the realm of the ladder, and amidst a burst of dazzling radiance, everyone vanished entirely. However, the moment the very last person stepped onto the Immortal Ascension Ladder, the ladder—which had just been radiating a sacred glow—suddenly flickered with an eerie, ghostly blue hue. It turned out that the ladder had been secretly tampered with by demonic cultivators. The cultivators who had entered found the surrounding scenery gradually distorting; the immortal Qi grew thin, while Demonic Qi began to permeate the air. Many panicked, frantically searching for an exit, but to no avail.
Just as despair gripped the crowd, Yun Yang of the Kongtong Sect remained calm and collected. Endowed with innate talent and a meticulous mind, he sensed that something was amiss and immediately set out to unravel the mysteries of the array formation governing the ladder. After some exploration, he located a vulnerable spot and channeled his entire spiritual power into a fierce strike. With a flash of intense light, a tear was ripped open in the Immortal Ascension Ladder, allowing everyone to escape the perilous zone through the fissure.
