With a single stride, the heavens and the earth were replaced. In an instant, Chen Zong appeared within a grey and hazy chaotic space.
"Challenger, state your name." A cold voice sounded. It did not seem to contain the slightest bit of emotion and was filled with a mechanical feeling.
"Chen Zong," Chen Zong responded quickly.
"Chen Zong, human, Qi Refinement Stage, peak of the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage, body refinement Stage, peak of the Eighth Heaven Chaotic Heaven Stage, clone, Qi Refinement Stage, peak of the Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage. Please select your assessment system and target," the cold mechanical voice sounded again.
"Qi Refining Stage, Main Body." Chen Zong did not hesitate. It was obvious that he had more skills in Qi Refining Stage and was good at sword techniques. On the other hand, Body Refining Stage gave him a stronger life-saving ability.
"Selection complete."
As soon as the voice sounded, Chen Zong felt a tyrannical force descend and fall on his body. Then, Chen Zong felt his tyrannical blood Qi and Chaotic Heaven Force being sealed in an instant. He could not use them, and the strength of his body dropped to the level of a normal Peak Eighth Level Saint Rudiment Stage.
This feeling made him feel weak all of a sudden. Chen Zong was not used to it, but his adaptability was very strong. He gradually adapted to this feeling.
His clone was also sealed at the same time and could not use it. His Storage Ring was also sealed.
At the same time, his Divine Armament was also sealed and he could not sense it. The Eighth Grade Purple Horizon Incineration Fire was also sealed.
"The assessment of the First Stage of the Bewildering Light Stage begins. Break through the First Stage of the Bewildering Light Stage and enter the Second Stage."
Then, the gray mist in front of Chen Zong separated as if heaven and earth had been opened. A dim corridor appeared in front of Chen Zong. It was pitch black in the depths of the corridor. Suddenly, lights lit up and illuminated both sides, allowing Chen Zong to see a black stone door at the end of the corridor that separated the two sides.
"The Tenth Stage Door," Chen Zong muttered and stepped forward, quickly approaching the black stone door.
He stretched out his hand and pushed, but the stone door didn't budge at all, as if it had taken root.
Immediately, Chen Zong's palms, which were pressed against the stone door, trembled slightly. A tyrannical force immediately passed through his palms and directly bombarded the stone door.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! The pitch-black heavy stone door shattered into countless pieces and fell to the ground.
There was still a long corridor in front of them. As the stone door was broken and Chen Zong stepped in, the lights on both sides of the wall lit up one by one.
At the end was the second black stone door. It didn't look any different from the first one.
Chen Zong approached the stone door and touched it again. His sharp senses immediately told Chen Zong that this stone door was thicker and sturdier than the first one.
The hardness of the first stone door just happened to reach the peak of the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage while the hardness of the second stone door exceeded that of an ordinary peak of the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Break again!
The third stone door was even thicker and sturdier. However, it was still at the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and not the Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Naturally, such a stone door couldn't stop Chen Zong.
The Tenth Stage Door!
As the name implied, there were ten stone doors. One had to break all ten stone doors one by one to pass through the first stage and enter the second stage.
Moreover, there was only one chance to attack each stone door. One had to consider whether one's attack could break it or not. If one couldn't, it would be considered a failure and one would be sent out of the Bewildering Light Realm. If one wanted to challenge it, one would have to pay the fog source or beast source.
If one had enough strength but failed because they underestimated the stone door and didn't use their full strength, it would be too tragic.
Therefore, before Chen Zong made a move, he would first sense the stone door's strength and try his best to have an idea of its strength so that there wouldn't be any accidents when he attacked.
The fourth stone door's strength was at the peak of the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and was close to the Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
After all, the difference between the Eighth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and the Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage was huge.
However, the fifth stone door's strength was at the Early Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage. Of course, it was only at the Early Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
This was nothing to Chen Zong and he could easily break it.
The sixth stone door's strength was at the Intermediate Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and it was broken.
The seventh stone door's strength was at the Intermediate Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and it was broken.
The eighth stone door's strength was at the Intermediate Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and it was broken.
The ninth stone door's strength was at the Late Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and it was broken.
The tenth stone door was in front of him.
The aura from the tenth stone door was even more intense. Chen Zong didn't need to come into contact with it to know that the strength of the tenth stone door was even higher.
Sense!
The strength of the tenth stone door's strength was at the Peak Ninth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage and it was one stage higher than his current cultivation base.
This was not a test of one's martial attainment but the strength of one's Cultivation Method.
If one's Cultivation Method was not strong enough or if one's Saint Energy was not strong enough, one would not be able to break it and pass the first stage.
If it was a Body Refinement Cultivator, it would be a test of Chaos Heavenly Energy.
Strength!
This was a test of strength. Strength did not only represent the strength of one's body.
The tenth stone door was broken by Chen Zong's attack.
Taking a step forward, Chen Zong stepped into the gray chaos again.
"Chen Zong has passed the first stage. Do you wish to challenge the second stage?" The cold mechanical voice sounded.
The first stage was not that difficult. Everyone on Bewildering Light Island could pass the first stage so it was not a big deal. However, the further one went, the more difficult it would be.
According to the Silver Blade King, Zhao Mingkong, the first three stages were not that difficult and were relatively easy to pass. However, from the fourth stage onwards, the difficulty increased significantly. The fifth stage was much more difficult than the fourth stage.
This was why many people could not pass the seventh stage.
"Challenge." Chen Zong naturally wouldn't give up just like that. It was just the first level, and the difficulty wasn't high. His purpose in entering this place was for the seventh level. Even if he couldn't pass the seventh level, he would do his best and challenge his limits. He would treat this as a form of training to stimulate his own potential and improve himself further.
"The second stage is the Streamer Stage. If you pass it within the time limit, you can enter the third stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in front of Chen Zong changed again. A passageway appeared as if it was splitting heaven and earth apart. The passageway seemed to be in the sky, with wisps of light floating around.
Chen Zong looked forward but could not see the end.
At the same time, a huge light leak appeared in the sky. There were bits of light sprinkling down from the light leak. When the upper part of the light completely fell to the lower part, it meant that the time limit was over.
Without hesitation, Chen Zong immediately used his movement technique and quickly moved forward.
Formless Heavenly Wind!
Complete Stage!
He seemed to have turned into a gust of wind as he sped forward.
Chen Zong's speed was already extremely fast. After cultivating the Secondary Divine Power, Formless Heavenly Wind, to the complete stage, it was even more shocking.
He swept past like a gust of wind, leaving the wisps of light behind him in the blink of an eye.
Using the first stage as an example, the second stage tested one's speed. It was pure speed.
If one wanted to pass the Streamer Stage within the time limit, one's speed would have to exceed one's cultivation base by a whole realm. In other words, Chen Zong's cultivation base was at the peak of the Eighth Level Saint Rudiment Stage, but his speed had to be at the peak of the Ninth Level Saint Rudiment Stage. This was the bottom line.
Before the Formless Heavenly Wind broke through to the complete stage, Chen Zong's speed was faster than an ordinary peak Ninth Level Saint Rudiment Stage cultivator. Therefore, for Chen Zong, the speed test of the second stage of the Streamer Stage was nothing.
Before the light even reached half of the area, Chen Zong could already see the end of the Streamer Stage. It was a slowly rotating vortex filled with psychedelic colors. Without hesitation, Chen Zong plunged into it and entered a chaotic gray.
"Chen Zong has passed the second stage. Do you want to challenge the third stage?" The cold mechanical voice sounded again.
"Yes," Chen Zong answered without hesitation.
"The third stage is the Thousand Flower Path. Pass the Thousand Flower Path within the time limit and you can enter the fourth stage."
The chaos changed again. A pink flower seemed to fall in front of Chen Zong's eyes. It was light and agile, and its trajectory was natural.
It was as if a beautiful painting was slowly unfolding in front of his eyes. Chen Zong saw a small path, and on both sides of the path were trees. There was not a single leaf on any of the trees, only pink flowers that were in full bloom. A strong floral fragrance filled the air, causing people to be intoxicated.
This was a small path among the flowers that was suitable for walking with one's lover. But in reality, this was a test.
The first stage tested one's own strength, the second stage tested one's pure speed, and the third stage tested one's reaction speed.
Strength, speed, and reaction speed were all crucial to any cultivator. It was not surprising that there was a test like this.
When the light appeared again, Chen Zong's silhouette flickered as he sped forward.
He had to pass the Thousand Flower Path within the time limit to enter the fourth stage.
For Chen Zong, the first and second stages would not have much of a tempering effect. After all, his ability had exceeded the upper limit.
The third stage would not have much of a tempering effect either.
With this thought, Chen Zong did not stop. He stepped into the path among the flowers in an instant. Then, as if an invisible wind blew past, flowers broke off from the branches one by one. They floated out lightly and nimbly. In the next moment, every flower that floated out had a few or even a dozen petals. Their trajectories became even more difficult to predict. They attacked from all directions and floated toward Chen Zong.
He could not be touched by the petals. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to failing the stage.
Chen Zong used the Heavenly Wind Formless Body Technique to avoid the petals. He quickly moved forward. He turned into a gust of wind, but it was not real wind and would not affect the petals at all.
Along the way, countless petals swept over and gathered as if controlled by an invisible force. They almost formed a wall of flowers, blocking the entire path among the flowers.
Chen Zong's figure was very strange. He shuttled through the small and crisscrossed gaps, causing the wall of flowers to be unable to do anything.
The light in the light kept falling like dust. Chen Zong ignored it. He did not even look at it because there was no need to.
The first three stages were the least difficult. If he could not even pass the first three stages, then it was better to leave Bewildering Light Island as soon as possible.
Soon, Chen Zong's sharp eyes saw the end of the path among the flowers. It was right in front of him, about ten thousand meters away. This distance of ten thousand meters was nothing, even with countless petals swirling in the air.
