Sword Pointing at the Heavenly Palace!

The surrounding space rippled like water.

Then... Qi Zixiao froze. She had actually failed to get out! Instead, after passing through that portal, she had entered an extremely small space.

It was about a hundred square meters, empty all around. Only a wooden table stood in the very center. On it was a sword platform, and on the platform lay a three-foot-long sword.

Qi Zixiao glared. "You said you weren't going to make it flashy! The name itself is obviously flashy!"

"Uh..." Li Bai looked
