Boom!
Under the gaze of the gathered prodigies, Lu Ren took one step onto the highest level.
However, what Lu Ren had never expected was that the highest level was as tranquil as a calm lake, without the slightest ripple of Immortal Soul pressure.
The pages carved into the Book Wall on the highest level resembled a gigantic painting. Spanning dozens of zhang in length and width, it was magnificent and imposing, with countless intricate runes sketched across it.

Suddenly, an aged voice that rang out like a great bell reverberated through Lu Ren's mind.
"I came for myself!"
Lu Ren shouted, his face contorted with pain.
Boom!

Lu Ren's body began to convulse. A searing pain spread through him as cracks appeared in his sword body, and copious amounts of blood seeped out.

"I came for myself!"
Lu Ren answered loudly once again.
Whoosh!
However, the golden radiance grew denser once more. Threads
