Standing on the seabed, Li Yang was lost in thought. 'Right,' he suddenly thought, 'I should see if the mysterious little sword has any effect on my surroundings. Back on the island, it influenced the void, causing the Relic Space to appear and letting me get in early. Maybe it'll work this time, too.'
However, he then remembered that when there was a thin membrane around the World Tree, the mysterious little sword in his mind had appeared and shattered it. At that time, there had been no other obvious change to the surroundings.
'I'll just have to try it and see. My power wasn't enough before, but as I've gotten stronger, the duration the mysterious little sword can manifest has clearly been increasing!'
The first time the mysterious little sword had manifested, he could only sustain it for one ten-thousandth of a second. The duration had slowly increased since then, and he estimated it was now up to one-thousandth of a second.
