A few hours later.
Aksai stepped onto the raised platform of the 4th stage.
The underground hall he had just passed through was quiet—unnervingly so, with no other teams gathered to face the trials of this next stage.
Most cultivators had chosen to quit after the third stage. Aksai couldn't blame them; the cave wasn't a place for those who could hardly maintain their druidic forms for more than a few minutes.
The teams sent for the cave exploration this time were ordinary teams. The powerful cultivators from the three major demonic sects were expected to explore the cave after a few days.
As such, there was no point in Aksai waiting for anyone. He also found this very convenient for himself. After all, he had his puppets when it came to battling opponents in groups.
