Upon stepping through the final door, Yuan found himself standing just a few meters away from a towering pagoda, its vast structure rising endlessly into the heavens, disappearing beyond the clouds as if it pierced the very fabric of the sky.
However, Yuan wasn't alone. Standing beside him was Tian Yuexing, who had entered just moments earlier.
Tian Yuexing cast a brief glance in Yuan's direction, then turned away without a word and began making his way toward the pagoda.
Yuan also made his way toward the pagoda shortly after.
Moments later, the two came to a halt before the entrance of the pagoda, where a sign stood prominently beside the doorway.
The sign read:
Welcome to the Endless Pagoda—the final trial of the Sword Emperor Qualifications.
The rules are simple. Reach the 40th floor to pass the trial. The difficulty will increase with each floor. You will earn two points for every floor successfully cleared. Once you start the trial, you will not be able to rest.
