A resonant sound echoed through the universe, and a vast region of distorted space emerged. It was a place known to all divine sects, simply called the arena of challenges.
When it appeared, the dark and distant region, physically isolated from any galaxy, was illuminated. The arena looked like a massive golden cosmic ring, almost the size of a sun.
As it appeared, a golden energy spread everywhere like a sacred mist. In that instant, millions of spatial formations were activated in all the divine worlds of the universe.
Each formation created a channel connecting to this place; the spatial laws there allowed any place in the universe to connect easily. However, the costs to create this connection were exorbitant.
Even smaller and mid-sized sects opened the channel so their disciples could pass through; despite the high cost, the cosmic distance made the investment worthwhile.
