Not much different from the group of elders at the Soul Ascension Realm who had found themselves reaching a limit in how far they could progress, most of those who had challenged the ascension realm tower early on found themselves reaching the limit of how far they could go with their current cultivation realm. Unless an opportunity presented itself or their strength improved, their progress would likely halt at the floor that they were in the process of challenging.
This was expected but not discouraging for the sect elders and disciples of the sect, outside of those who found themselves unfortunate enough to be stuck on a floor like the twelfth floor. Mainly because they could continue to complete tasks on the previous floors they had cleared and continue earning ascension coins or exploring the floor they had failed to complete previously. Looking for other ways to clear the floor or just to see if they could find any rare cultivation resources that might be hidden on the floor.
