Virtual Universe, Yuxiang Mountain, Primal Region, Manor No. 115.
Whoosh!
White light flashed, and Yu Duan's figure appeared directly in the manor's Cultivation Ground.
"Your Highness!"
The servants and guards who were cleaning and maintaining the various pieces of equipment in the Cultivation Ground hurriedly bowed to Yu Duan.
"Mm."
Yu Duan nodded, then immediately instructed Tianran, "Teleport me to the Tongtian Bridge Plane."
"Yes, Master! ∠(°ゝ°)"
Tianran immediately sent a teleportation request to the Virtual Universe System.
A moment later, a prompt sounded.
"Identity confirmed. Yu Duan has been permanently granted access to the Tongtian Bridge Plane."
"We hope you'll work hard and strive to reach the end of the Heavenly Bridge in the future!"
As the prompt ended, Yu Duan's figure vanished on the spot.
The Tongtian Bridge Plane was a vast sea that stretched beyond sight.
At its center stood a quiet, picturesque island.
Along the island's edge were fifty-two harbors, each extending into a long bridge that spanned Heaven and Earth, reaching high into the clouds and disappearing beneath countless veils of mist.
Whoosh!
Yu Duan's figure appeared directly in the square at the island's center.
There were a little over a hundred people scattered across the square. They were all geniuses from Yu Duan's batch, except for two whose auras were noticeably stronger and whom he didn't recognize.
"Yu Duan's here too!"
"Place your bets! Which level of the Heavenly Bridge will Yu Duan reach?"
Some entrepreneurial sorts had already started stirring things up, and were making quite a bit of money at it.
Just then, a man wearing a black robe patterned with stars landed in front of Yu Duan.
"Hello, Yu Duan. I'm Guardian Bafen, the guardian of this Heavenly Bridge. You can just call me Guardian..."
Bafen looked at Yu Duan
