Sword Platform, Divine Sword? What is that?!

Wang Junze was even more confused by what he heard, though he vaguely sensed that this matter was definitely not as simple as the other party had described.

Wang Junze wanted to ask more questions, but the other party had no intention of giving him a chance to speak. With a slight flip of the hand, Wang Junze suddenly felt a spatial distortion, and he uncontrollably flew out.

Within just a few breaths, Wang Junze felt himself fly at least several hundred meters away, and by the time he regained his senses, he had landed deep within the palace.

At the same time, Wang Junze felt a sudden tremor beneath his feet. A surge of Sword Intent burst forth from below, and the next moment, a high platform rose from the ground, lifting Wang Junze into the air.

Looking down, Wang Junze realized this high platform was approximately a hundred meters tall, entirely jade-like, shaped like a sword, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The place where he landed now was only a few meters in range.

"Sword Platform?"

No explanation was needed for Wang Junze to understand that the high platform which had suddenly risen was the Sword Platform mentioned by the remnant soul just now.

But where exactly is the so-called Divine Sword?

No time to ponder these matters further, Wang Junze suddenly noticed a similar high platform not far away.

This in itself was unimportant; what truly shocked Wang Junze was that he clearly saw two people fighting on the other Sword Platform, one of whom was none other than Princess Changlin, Su Yuwei.

"Wang Junze?!"

Almost simultaneously, Su Yuwei and the two other Deserters were also taken aback by this sudden change. Especially upon recognizing Wang Junze's figure, even with Su Yuwei's composure, she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Commandery Princess!"

Gazing at Su Yuwei, Wang Junze's pupils sharply contracted.

With Su Yuwei present, the other two naturally were Desert Powerhouses. Despite Wang Junze's journey here and his significant enhancement in strength, fundamentally, he was still just at the Condensing Truth stage!

Facing someone like Lu Qing at the Refining Spirit stage would be challenging enough, let alone a Heaven-Stepping Powerhouse.

"Kill him!"

Almost at the same time, the elder Deserter fighting Su Yuwei suddenly spoke.

The other Desert Powerhouse didn't hesitate at all, directly charging towards Wang Junze's Sword Platform.

Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses can fly, rendering the height of such platforms seemingly meaningless.

At that moment, even Su Yuwei was somewhat anxious, but she still didn't move.

Currently, she was already at a disadvantage facing this Deserter, relying on the Sword Platform to fend off. In this situation, leaving the Sword Platform to rescue Wang Junze might not only fail but also put herself in harm's way.

Boom!

The Desert Powerhouse flew into the air, launching a fierce palm strike towards Wang Junze, yet the palm never touched Wang Junze. As it approached the platform's edge, a Restriction suddenly emerged, directly blocking the palm's force and simultaneously emitting Sword Qi, counterattacking swiftly and slicing the Deserter back to the ground.

"Why is the Sword Platform's Restriction counterattacking?"

In that instant, the Deserter's eyes revealed a hint of shock, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

They knew the Sword Platform had protective Restrictions against direct attacks; otherwise, Su Yuwei wouldn't have relied on the Sword Platform till now.

However, the problem was, while the Restriction blocked attacks before, it never counterattacked.

Exactly because of this, the Desert Powerhouse intended to scare Wang Junze into leaving the Sword Platform.

Yet unexpectedly, the rules of the Sword Platform had changed, causing him to suffer silently.

However, after just a moment of distraction, the Desert Powerhouse regained his composure, stepping directly to the base of the Sword Platform, intending to challenge according to the rules.

After all, Wang Junze was merely at the Condensing Truth stage. No matter how talented, he was disregarded by Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses.

Yet unexpectedly, this ascent to the platform hadn't even begun before it was declared a failure.

The Sword Platform's Restriction erupted again, directly repelling him.

"This is impossible. Why can't I challenge?"

Staring firmly at the Sword Platform before him, the Desert Powerhouse exclaimed incredulously once more.

Isn't the Sword Platform meant for people to ascend and challenge?

Why was he unable to challenge?

"Sword Platform's rules only permit ascension by those of the same stage!"

Almost simultaneously, a deep voice echoed from the void, explaining the rules of the Sword Platform.

The same stage!

Of course, Wang Junze is only at the Condensing Truth stage. If challenged by Heaven-Stepping Powerhouses, there'd be no suspense. As someone chosen by the Yijian Sect, passing the Sword Array test to inherit, it wouldn't make sense if they were easily killed in a cross-stage challenge.

The Yijian Sect, an Ancient Sect, values potential and talent over current strength when selecting heirs.

Whether at Condensing Truth or Heaven-Stepping, perhaps makes no difference to them.

For Wang Junze, these rules are the perfect protection.

This simultaneously gave Wang Junze and Su Yuwei a sigh of relief.

"Don't bother with him; he's merely at Condensing Truth and can't change anything," scoffed the other Desert Powerhouse, speaking indifferently, "As long as Su Yuwei is killed, it doesn't matter if he occupies a Sword Platform."

The existence of the Sword Platform indeed brings advantages, but it's clear to everyone that gaining more treasures, or ultimately capturing the relic, cannot be achieved by mere presence on the Sword Platform.

Even if Wang Junze occupies one Sword Platform, it's ultimately meaningless unless he stays forever on it; otherwise, he inevitably faces death.

"You think you two incompetent fools can kill me?"

Su Yuwei sneered once more, "Moreover, if even Wang Junze could pass the Sword Array, what makes you believe Luo Qingxuan couldn't?"

"..."

This statement also momentarily halted the two Desert Powerhouses.

In truth, this was precisely what they feared. If not, why continuously assault the Sword Platform, attempting to kill Su Yuwei quickly?

Su Yuwei alone was troublesome enough, let alone if Luo Qingxuan joined; finding ways to survive would be their concern.

"If the Sword Array was easy to break, it wouldn't have trapped Luo Qingxuan for so long."

Almost simultaneously, a familiar voice sounded once more. The next moment, several people appeared, led by none other than Jing Yuan!
