The golden key, like a shooting star, pierced into the lifeless, barren hillside, casting a vast golden beam from within the hill towards the void, shining beneath Chu Yue's feet.
Looking closely, one could see a golden staircase, crafted as if from gold itself, flickering within the golden beam, extending from Chu Yue's feet down toward the hillside.
After the appearance of the golden staircase, Chu Yue ceased his handprint movements, turned his head towards Shi Feng, and said, "Let's go down."
"Mm!"
Shi Feng nodded, and Chu Yue took the lead into the golden beam. Chu Xin followed, and then Shi Feng, Shi Jinsuai, and Xueh Wuheng also stepped into the golden beam, descending the golden staircase step by step.
Before long, the hillside below drew closer as they descended the golden staircase and entered its peak.
The moment they set foot on the peak, the surroundings abruptly transformed.
