Swish swish—
As only a short segment of the incense remained, Chu Liang and the Sword Emperor of the Western Sea reached the end of the corridor, where there was a pure white high wall with a platform in front of it and a circular crack of light on the wall.
It seemed that entering through that crack would lead to the next layer of the Sword Domain, but such an action would likely prevent any return, so Immortal Qi Jing did not rush in but waited on the platform instead.
Above the crack hung a brightly shining treasure sword, which occasionally stood upright and emitted bursts of sword aura. This sword, in terms of quality, was not inferior to the Xaoyun Ancient Sword, yet in this secret realm, it served merely as a tool within a formation.
After ascending to the platform, Chu Liang removed the remaining puppets beside him and turned around. Thanks to his efforts, no challenger had died along the way, and everyone had briskly advanced close to the end.
