Watching Sonia hastily leave, Ji Chen waved his hand and led the army through the dense sea of grass, arriving at the metal archway.
Some time passed, and the archway remained the same as before, except that there were some wild creatures wandering in from other places around it. Sensing their approach, they were frightened and fled.
Ignoring these insignificant creatures, he approached the metal pillar on the left side of the archway and took out a dimensional key, slowly placing it into the groove.
As soon as the dimensional key touched the groove, it stuck to it as if glued, and then emitted a white light, dazzling like a moon, causing everyone to involuntarily take a few steps back and squint their eyes.
Ji Chen knew that the first step in opening the gate to the mystic realm was completed.
