The designated time soon arrived, but everyone noticed that there were significantly fewer people this time, unsure whether they couldn't make it back in time or had already perished.
The elderly man walked up to the group, glanced over everyone, and said, "Congratulations to all of you for completing this task. The top one hundred who advanced will proceed to the next level with me. Please take out your Jade Tokens now."
The crowd took out their Jade Tokens, and seeing their rankings displayed, some cheered excitedly while others looked dejected.
Song Yan Ning felt a lightness under her feet, and when she felt solid ground again, she realized she had arrived at a new place.
"Congratulations to all of you for advancing to the fourth level, the final layer of the Spiritual Realm. You will have one month here, and after that, the Spiritual Realm will close. I wish you all fruitful gains," said the elderly man before he vanished in front of the crowd.
