After some time, Xu Xing and Bie Xuening left the mountaintop and descended to the mountainside.
A massive boulder jutted outward. Back when the Moon Shadow Secret Realm had been nearby, this had been the only passage leading into the secret realm.

Gradually, the ever-expanding ripples grew hazy and chaotic, as though their other end connected to a world still being nurtured, one where chaos had yet to divide.
And that was indeed the case.
"After I extracted the secret realm used to nurture the sword and gave it to Jiuyu, I discovered signs that another secret realm was forming within the 'void' left behind by its sudden disappearance," Xu Xing explained.
