The moment Shi Mu passed through the brightly lit door...
Buzz buzz!
In the depths of the first layer of the Holy Land, a bell-like spread far and wide toward the surrounding area as it rang through tens of thousands of miles.
"What's going on?"
"This voice... Could it be…"
"This is the monument of the Enchanted Road. Someone passed successfully!"
"Could it be that Shi Mu made it through?!"
Everyone heard the buzzing sound and was caught off guard. After all, the illusion of the Enchanted Road had been broken through, and those who were successful numbered less than ten. Knowing that someone broke through meant he was on par with the high-ranking disciples.
The doubtful ones had expressions of disbelief.
...
Shi Mu felt a blur before finding himself in a grand white hall.
He looked around a little and realized he was not in the Enchanted Hall from where he entered the challenge.
The hall was vacant and empty. Except for a few pillars, there was nothing else.
