At the same time, two mysterious messages appeared in the minds of Chen Hao and Tantai Lian at the same time. Two bright starlights separated them and shrouded them.
"A test? What a magical light … "
Chen Hao was surprised. Before he could think further, the scene in front of him changed.
"What rich and pure energy … No, it's True Essence, pure True Essence!"
In two separate spaces, Chen Hao and Tantai Lian were shocked. Originally, the energy in the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven was already incredibly dense and pure. But now, under the bright starlight, the two of them who couldn't even see clearly felt that the entire space was filled with Quintessential Essence that could be absorbed without spending much effort to refine it.
However, Chen Hao and Tantai Lian did not start cultivating. The information they received was that they had entered the test of the Seven Stars Cave.
"There shouldn't be any danger. Since it's a test, I'll determine what I can get based on the results. It's the same for Xiaolian … "Chen Hao thought to himself. His eyes were shining, but he could not see an inch in front of him. He could only see the bright starlight.
"Dubhe Formation? It's not difficult for me … It's really similar to the Taoist's Seven Stars Sword Formation … "
Chen Hao thought to himself. Before entering the Seven Stars Cave Heaven, Chen Hao had encountered the Seven Stars Alignment Formation. He was sure that the Seven Stars Cave Heaven was similar to the Taoist's Seven Stars Sword Formation recorded in the Taoist's Secret Essentials. If not, Chen Hao would not have been able to comprehend the Seven Stars Sword Finger in just four months. He would not have had the chance to come here.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao sat cross-legged and immersed himself in comprehension. After an entire two hours, Chen Hao's eyes flickered with a bright light as he pointed out with his finger.
Hiss!
A strange wave came. The vigorous and sharp sword finger merged into a round crystal that Chen Hao could not see but could sense.
At the same time, the air that was completely composed of True Essence began to shake violently. The bright starlight in the entire space suddenly dimmed, as if it had gathered together. As Chen Hao recovered his vision, a figure composed entirely of starlight appeared in front of him.
This figure held a sword in his hand. His figure was tall and straight, and his entire body was golden like the color of the stars. His eyes were shining with incomparably sharp sword intent. He didn't give Chen Hao any time to think and slashed his sword at Chen Hao!
"Late-stage Golden Core Realm strength?"
Chen Hao's sharp soul perception spread out. He wasn't alarmed, but rather delighted. After stepping into the Golden Core Realm, he was no different from before the Congenital Realm. His monstrous and abnormal physique caused his advancement to still be many times more difficult than others. In the past four months, although he had been immersed in the Seven Star Alignment and comprehended the Seven Star Finger Sword, it was also cultivation. Moreover, he had been constantly refining his Golden Core. However, he had barely reached the peak of the Early-stage Golden Core Realm. Compared to Tantai Lian, who had reached the peak of the Middle-stage Golden Core Realm, there was a huge gap. However, the reason why he was pleasantly surprised was that Chen Hao had learned from the information that the energy figure that appeared at this moment was completely based on his combat strength. This meant that he had the combat strength of a Late-stage Golden Core Realm expert!
Breaking the Dubhe Star of the Seven Stars, which was also the Dubhe Formation, was not difficult for Chen Hao. He had done it in two hours. However, to truly break it, he had to defeat the figure in front of him. This was a trial and a test! He had to kill this figure in order to enter the next level!
Clang!
The Five Elements Sword suddenly came out of its sheath. Chen Hao brazenly faced the terrifying sword light.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Hao's Solitary Sword Incantation cut off the head of the star-colored energy man with no special moves.
The Dubhe Formation was broken!
Starlight appeared again. The surrounding space fluctuated, and the pattern had obviously changed. Chen Hao knew that the second formation, the Tianxuan Formation, had been activated.
…
Tantai Lian, who was in another independent space, was not as relaxed as Chen Hao. When Chen Hao entered the Tianxuan Formation, she was still sitting cross-legged in the Dubhe Formation, sending out streams of stored energy to sense the mystery of the Dubhe Formation. Unfortunately, in such a short time, she could not make any progress at all.
…
Similarly, in less than two hours, Chen Hao once again comprehended the mystery of the Merak Formation. But this time, there were two golden energy men in the same realm, both at the Late-stage of the Gold Elixir Realm. But the attacks launched by the two complemented each other, containing the mystery of the Dubhe Formation and the Merak Formation respectively. Moreover, the attacks launched by the two were a combination attack, which multiplied their combat capability several times.
Within three moves, Chen Hao was seriously injured, and the two golden energy figures disappeared directly. Chen Hao returned to the Tianxuan Formation again. Obviously, he had failed the test this time.
"This is only the second formation, and it's already so powerful … It seems that it will take me a long time to break through the seventh formation," Chen Hao thought to himself in shock.
This failure was not a real failure. There was no real failure in this test. It would only be considered a real failure if one died of old age here. Even if the next time the Seven Stars Grotto-Heaven opened, one would not be ejected before passing through the seventh formation.
This was the information he had obtained after entering the Seven Stars Hall.
If he had known this, Chen Hao would not have foolishly carried Tantai Lian in.
He wasn't worried about himself because he was confident that he would succeed. He had the Daoist's Seven Stars Formation as a reference. Moreover, he was extremely intelligent and definitely not someone Tantai Lian could compare to. Chen Hao was quite confident about this. It was also because of this that he could successfully comprehend the mysteries of the formation. The time he saved was not small. But what about Tantai Lian?
However, it was useless to worry now. Such a mysterious and magical space was not something that Chen Hao could forcefully break through. If Tantai Lian wanted to walk out, she could only rely on herself. This was an opportunity for her, and also a challenge.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Hao was not in a hurry to activate the Life Gate of the formation again to activate the golden energy figures. Instead, he immersed himself in cultivation and comprehension. The three moves that the two golden energy figures had made just now were clearly replaying in slow motion in Chen Hao's mind.
Four hours later, he challenged again. Six moves, Chen Hao was defeated.
Eight hours later, 12 moves, Chen Hao was defeated.
Three days later, 100 moves, Chen Hao was defeated.
As the number of moves increased, Chen Hao found the feeling of fighting to his heart's content. Moreover, he was defeated with serious injuries every time, and it was not fatal. Obviously, this was the bottom line of the test. It would not take one's life. There was no doubt that this was the best cultivation environment for Chen Hao. The only drawback was that there was a lack of variation. This was because the two Golden Men's attacks always started at the same time. Even the order of their moves was not messed up. However, Chen Hao had to fall into their rhythm every time …
Five days later, the two golden energy figures tumbled to the ground under Chen Hao's sharp sword light. Chen Hao finally passed the Merak formation and stepped into the third Tianji formation.
There were three golden energy figures, and each of them was still at the late-stage Golden Core realm. However, the integration of the three Tianji formation made the combined attack of the three golden energy figures even more terrifying and perfect. For the first time, Chen Hao was defeated with just one move.
Chen Hao's arrogant and persistent character had completely fused into this sort of extremely challenging tempering of battle.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Zhai Xing Peak, where the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven runes appeared. During this month, there was always an inner sect elder standing guard. Today, the Zhai Xing Sect's sect master, Yuwen Tairan, and all the inner and outer sect elders gathered again. Only Wu Ziqun was not present. This was because the biennial Hundred Empire Ranking was already in the preparation stage. This time, the Zhai Xing Sect had tasted the sweetness of the Hundred Empire Ranking and brought luck. Naturally, the Zhai Xing Sect would take action again. He had already brought several inner sect disciples and rushed to the Myriad Treasures Chamber of Commerce to discuss.
If the fourth level appeared as they had speculated, then Chen Hao would come out in a month's time.
However, Yuwen Tairan and the others waited for an entire day, but there was no movement. However, they were not disappointed. Instead, they were looking forward to it. The longer they waited, the greater the benefits. This was obvious. Who would not be happy? The only one who was ambiguous was Meng Langang. This was because he knew that Ye Wendao's chances of survival were not high …
The second month, the third month, the fourth month …
…
"How could this be?"
On Zhai Xing Peak, Yuwen Tairan and the six grand elders frowned and gave up on sensing. No one had expected such an outcome. In the second month, they were still able to maintain their composure and were pleasantly surprised. In the third month, they were still able to maintain their composure but began to worry. In the fourth month, when the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven was about to open again in a month's time, Yuwen Tairan and the others could no longer remain calm. This was because the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven would open again in a month's time. What did this mean?
According to the rules of all historical legacies and special spaces, opening again meant a new cycle. If the person who entered last time did not come out, there was only one possibility — death.
Left with no choice, Yuwen Tairan and the other elders could only invite the six grand elders to come out and sense Chen Hao's aura once again. However, what shocked everyone was that they could not sense Chen Hao's aura this time.
…
A month later, the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven opened again. Although they could no longer sense Chen Hao's aura on the fourth level, they had successfully locked onto him last time, allowing the fourth level of the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven to open.
The 30 disciples below the Connate Realm were still determined according to the previous arena battles. Yang Fan, Li Yifeng, and Ni Jianping were among the low-level disciples. However, the three of them did not look excited. Instead, they were frowning. The news had spread that Chen Hao and Tantai Lian might have died in the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven.
The disciples who were selected to enter the fourth level were all at the peak of the late-stage Golden Core Realm, but they were not the top ten inner sect disciples. Instead, they were the young disciples who had the absolute advantage in terms of talent, comprehension, and combat strength. They were also the super geniuses who had the highest chance of successfully advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm and becoming a core disciple.
After the first three levels of disciples entered the Seven Star Grotto-Heaven, the fourth level opened. Ten disciples stepped into the rune with solemn expressions.
"Remember, no one is allowed to kill each other! Come out alive. If one of you dies, even if you come out, you will all be killed without mercy! Remember, all of you! "
