After crossing the threshold, Yu Xuan and Lingluo arrived in a vast, echoing hall.
Unlike the Tower of Trials, where murals of ancient beings locked in eternal combat lined the walls, here the very stone shimmered with shifting constellations. Galaxies spiraled, stars flared and dimmed, planets shimmered as if they were breathing. The entire chamber felt less like a hall and more like the inside of a living cosmos.
Before either could comment, an invisible wave swept over them.
Yu Xuan waited. It wasn't invasive like the probing pressure of the Tower of Trials — more like a polite glance, a scan just deep enough to recognize who they were.
Then glowing letters formed in midair.
Group detected.

Yu Xuan blinked. His gaze slid to his sister, then back to the floating words.
