Chapter 1209 A High Ranked Immortal World And World Ascension　　Lin Mu''s words were certainly shocking to the Elder, but after thinking over it and witnessing everything, he had no choice but to believe it.


    "So you really dide from another world… Still crashing into the Land of Exile was possibly one of the worst possible oues." Elder Niji said, a frown on his face.


    Hearing this brought Lin Mu to another one of the questions he''s had on his mind. As far as he had seen, there wasn''t really anything blocking them in here. He had seen the Rust Hail Mountains in the distance, and while they were tall, they still seemed to be traversable to him.


    Additionally, since the Land of exile was considered like an ''open prison'', the people here should be looking to escape at all times. Especially considering that there was basically no warden or any authority looking over them.


    ''Or perhaps they are and I just don''t know.'' Lin Mu thought.


    "Is there no one that has left this ce? I mean, can''t they just cross the mountains or fly over them?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "No… at least over the hundred thousand years of our tribe''s history, there has been no one that escaped the Land of Exile. Flying is simply not possible for us mortals. While Immortals can still fly here, they can''t go past height, especially not above the level of the Rust Hail Mountains." Elder Niji answered.


    Lin Mu had seen that there was no way to fly in this world with his current cultivation base. Even using a spirit weapon to fly didn''t work, as they would simply fall down. Forget flying, Lin Mu couldn''t even use his spirit sense to control the weapons here.


    If he wanted to fight using them, he would have to use them with his own hands. It felt like he had returned to when he was starting out as a cultivator in the past, and it felt a bit humbling to him at the same time.


    ''Perhaps this is the difference in the level''s of the world…'' Lin Mu reckoned.


    Still, it wasn''t as if Lin Mu didn''t know about this would be happening. Senior Xukong had told him about the restrictions he might face and he had also read about them in the Lost Immortal''s Memoirs.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    But the issue was, the restrictions in this world seemed to be a little too harsh even for a world with immortals in it.


    Lin Mu had read a few experiences of the Lost Immortal and in them, the man was in an immortal world, but could still fly despite being below the Immortal Realm. Then there was atter entry that showed something else to Lin Mu.


    In that, the Lost Immortal was already in the Immortal Realm, and was in a different world. In this world several cultivators of spirit realm also existed alongside immortals. And in this world, they too were unable to fly.


    The levels of an Immortal world that allowed a cultivator below the immortal realm to fly and one that didn''t were vastly different.


    ''Senior Xukong even said a term for it… A World Ascension…'' Lin Mu recalled.


    World Ascension was a unique event that very rarely happened. It was already known that there were manyyers of the void, and eachyer had multiple subyers. It was in the differentyers of the Greater void that the realms existed.


    These realms were split ording to the quality of the worlds that existed, whether they be simples or otherplex forms of worlds. In this, the worlds would be grouped together in amon realm.


    For example, the realm that the Xiaofan world existed in would have other worlds of the same level, or a couple levels above and below it. This range of different leveled worlds was rtively narrow.


    But there came a time when a world would continually grow to a point where thews of the realm where it existed in couldn''t contain it. This was the period where the world would start to push against the limits of the realm and eventually ascend to a higher ranked realm.


    All this was veryplex, and many experts had spent their entire lives in learning and studying it. And yet it was not enough.


    It was all controlled by the will of the Heavens and was mysterious as to how it worked.


    If one considered a simplifiedparison, it was like an Immortal ascension realm expert breaking through and reaching the immortal realm. But this time, it wasn''t a human but an entire world doing the same.


    But there was a reason this was so rare, despite the fact there were an uncountable number of worlds in the cosmos.


    It was that most worlds that reached the point of World Ascension would simply fail. And in the process they would also destroy that entire realm and the other worlds that existed within it.


    It would eventually lead to a realm copse and the contents of that realm would return to the void.


    Then perhaps in the future, this matter would condense once more and the space would stabilizes to give birth to a new realm.


    This was the cycle of the myriad worlds and realms.


    And in all this, only the void was the constant. It was the foundation on which everything was allowed toe into being and without it, nothing would exist.


    Lin Mu''s mind pondered on many possibilities in a matter of seconds. But in the end, he understood that the only way he would be able to figure out his next move would be to gather even more information.


    ''Besides, it isn''t like there isn''t a benefit to a world that is on the edge of reaching World Ascension. It only means I can find better resources than an average immortal world!'' Lin Mu thought to himself as a smile appeared on his face.


    Looking at Elder Niji, he spoke once more.


    "Please tell me more about the Land of Exile and what is beyond this?"
