[Stairway Hall]
This great hall was situated deep within the Inner Mansion, atop a relatively isolated, floating mountain.
The entire structure was built from massive, dark cyan stones, giving it a simple, heavy, and ancient appearance, devoid of excessive ornamentation.
Only the eaves, like upturned swords, projected a solemn and imposing air.
The entire hall seemed faintly separate from the surrounding Cosmic Jade, emitting a stable and profound spatial fluctuation.
Countless thick, heavy, radiant halos, like iron chains, stretched from behind the hall into the depths of the void, their destination unknown.
Arriving at the square before the hall, Qi Yun raised his head slightly, his gaze calmly sweeping over this gateway to many perilous lands and fortuitous opportunities.
He then stepped under the sole greenstone archway in front of the hall.
Just as he passed through the archway, a faint yet incredibly precise ripple silently swept over his entire body.
