As soon as the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect pseudo Transcendent entered the Puppet Cave, Chen Zong had already disappeared. Taking a few steps forward, as if he had stepped over something, a cold and harsh voice suddenly rang out, startling the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect pseudo Transcendent.
"Test or withdraw?"
"What?" The Ten Thousand Sifting Sect pseudo Transcendent was startled and asked.
"Test or withdraw?"
"Puppet Cave test?" Many thoughts flashed through the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect pseudo Transcendent's mind. Realizing that this might be an opportunity, if he missed it, he wouldn't have another chance, so he quickly responded.
"Test."
Suddenly, the darkness in front of him disappeared and was replaced by light. Two light gates appeared in front of him, one of which had a simple 'Heaven' character written on it while the other had a simple 'Earth' character written on it.
Immediately after, the light gate with the 'Heaven' character written on it dimmed, as if it was about to disappear.
The Ten Thousand Sifting Sect pseudo Transcendent tried and found that the light gate with the 'Heaven' character written on it was impossible to enter, so he could only choose the one with the 'Earth' character written on it.
"Chen Zong should have chosen the 'Heaven' character door." He thought to himself as he stepped into the 'Earth' character door, but he didn't know what the 'Heaven' and 'Earth' character doors represented.
Indeed, Chen Zong had entered the Puppet Cave one step ahead of him and was faced with the same problem and choice, but Chen Zong didn't hesitate and directly chose the 'Heaven' character door.
After entering, a straight passage appeared before him. The passage was made of black steel, cold and hard, and the walls on both sides were lit with inextinguishable candle flames, illuminating the passage.
Chen Zong didn't rush forward because he was still seriously injured. He wanted to wait until his injuries were healed before acting, lest he encounter an accident or fail the test.
The power of the Great Yin Demonic Finger was too tyrannical, and even though most of its power had been offset, a small portion still managed to invade Chen Zong's body and wreak havoc. Chen Zong quickly took a True Returning Pill and circulated his Secret Art, using his tyrannical Great True Force to resist and expel the Yin Demonic Qi bit by bit.
Although the Zongheng Great True Power was not the purest and purest Yang energy, it was still domineering and sharp. Combined with the purest and purest Yang energy in his body, the evil Yin energy in his body was being expelled bit by bit. At the same time, the boundless vitality of the Thousand Year Tree Heart and his tyrannical self-healing ability took effect.
About half an hour later, Chen Zong finally expelled all of the evil energy that had invaded his body. He spat out a mouthful of black blood, which emitted traces of coldness. His injuries were soon healed, and his strength was completely restored.
It was fortunate that he had mastered the Golden Jade Impenetrable Body. Otherwise, even if he did not die from such an attack, his injuries would be extremely severe. It would take a long time for him to fully recover, and he might even lose his ability to move and be killed by the other party.
The Golden Jade Unbreakable Body was indeed unable to directly increase his fighting strength, but it could allow him to possess a stronger defense and survivability. After all, he was not a disciple of the Ancient Mountain, and did not focus on the path of body refinement.
After recovering from his injuries, Chen Zong got up and walked toward the passage.
The passage was about three hundred meters long. Along the way, Chen Zong maintained a high level of vigilance, but did not encounter any danger. What was the test?
Soon, Chen Zong found out.
After walking through the three-hundred-meter-long passage, there was a spacious stone room. The stone room was empty, and then, the wall in front of him suddenly cracked open to reveal a door. Kacha Kacha Kacha sounds were heard, and a figure stepped out.
Chen Zong was slightly startled, and his eyes narrowed.
It was a monster beast, no, it should be a puppet beast. Its appearance was similar to a black cheetah, but it did not have the slightest aura of flesh and blood. Looking at its appearance, although it was similar to a real black cheetah, one could still see the differences. It was made up of many mechanical components, and it emitted a cold aura.
The black cheetah was more than two meters long, with strong limbs, sharp claws, and sharp teeth. Its eyes emitted a scarlet light.
Step by step, it approached Chen Zong, and let out a low and cold roar, which gave Chen Zong a sense of danger.
"Is this the test?" Chen Zong thought, and he unsheathed his two swords.
The black cheetah puppet suddenly pounced on Chen Zong like a black lightning, and the sharp wind seemed to tear him apart. With a flash of dark blue sword light, the two swords pierced through the air.
The two swords accurately chopped on the black cheetah puppet. As the sound of metal clashing resounded, countless sparks flew. The black cheetah puppet flew to one side. Chen Zong found that there were only two white sword marks on its body, and it was damaged. It was very hard.
It landed on the ground and pounced on Chen Zong again.
After several rounds of fighting, Chen Zong knew that the black cheetah puppet had amazing strength and speed. Its claws were very sharp, but it did not have any skills to speak of.
Using one's strength to attack the enemy's weakness.
In terms of strength and speed, Chen Zong was not inferior to the black cheetah puppet. With superb skills and realm, Chen Zong soon suppressed the black cheetah puppet, but its body was too hard to break down in a short time.
"Since it's a puppet, it can't really move like a living creature. There must be a core inside to support it." Chen Zong thought. Now, he needed to find the core of the black cheetah puppet, and then cut it off or destroy it.
After repeated probing and searching, he finally found the core of the black cheetah puppet.
His sword struck.
After breaking the core, the scarlet light in the black cheetah puppet's eyes suddenly disappeared, and it lost its power. It became motionless like a statue.
After careful observation, Chen Zong felt a slight heartache because the core of the black cheetah puppet turned out to be the Spirit Source. Fortunately, it was only a substandard Spirit Source. If it was a Low-Rank Spirit Source, even a Transcendent Realm master would feel heartache.
However, the Low-Rank Spirit Source was very hard, and even with Chen Zong's current attack power, it was difficult to destroy it.
Immediately, the stone room's walls cracked again, and this time, a puppet beast walked out from the left and right.
The one on the left was a black ape puppet. Its thick arms were pressed against the ground, and it walked out in coordination with its legs. Every step it took was like a war drum.
The one on the right was a black lion puppet. It was majestic and mighty, like an overlord of beasts.
The pressure that the two puppet beasts brought to Chen Zong was no less than that of the black cheetah puppet.
Chen Zong was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he was a little excited. Glancing around, he directly rushed to the black ape puppet on the left.
His sword struck.
The black ape puppet roared. Under the impact of the sound wave, its thick arms beat its chest, making a sound like a war drum. It then rushed fiercely at Chen Zong, raising its arms like a giant hammer and smashing down.
The attack missed, and the ground shook. Chen Zong's body stayed close to the ground like an arrow, avoiding the attack of the black ape puppet. He circled to the side and attacked with his sword, looking for the core of the black ape puppet.
Fortunately, the core of the black ape puppet was in the same position as the black cheetah puppet.
However, the moment Chen Zong attacked the core of the black ape puppet, the black lion puppet directly rushed over, opening its mouth to bite Chen Zong, trying to bite off Chen Zong's head.
Chen Zong moved his feet, easily avoiding the attack of the black lion puppet, and stabbed the core of the black ape puppet with his sword. This time, he did not break it, but used a skillful vibration to cut off the connection between the core and the black ape puppet.
The black ape puppet suddenly froze, motionless.
The other sword was aimed at the core of the black lion puppet. With a vibration of the sword, the connection between the black lion puppet and the core was also cut off.
Chen Zong moved very quickly, and directly put the two puppets into the Virtual Ring.
The internal space of the Virtual Ring was large enough, and the combat strength of these puppets was not weak at all. They might come in handy in the future.
Chen Zong did not let go of the paralyzed black cheetah puppet on the ground, and directly put it away. Just as he put it away, the wall cracked again. This time, there were four doors, and four figures walked out from them.
There was a black tiger puppet, a black bear puppet, a black wolf puppet, and a black eagle puppet.
Tiger Lord's aura, Bear Lord's strength, Wolf Lord's speed, and Eagle Lord's sharpness.
The four puppet beasts immediately attacked Chen Zong as soon as they appeared, and the pressure on Chen Zong suddenly increased.
Facing the encirclement of the four powerful puppet beasts, Chen Zong seemed to be at ease as he moved his feet and dodged swiftly. Then, he drew his sword and attacked the core of the black tiger puppet. However, with the cooperation of the four beasts, Chen Zong was unable to succeed.
A fierce battle ensued.
On the other side, the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect disciple who chose the Earth door was attacked by several puppet beasts.
He seemed to be shrouded in an invisible shield, and could only rely on his own strength and martial arts to constantly resist the attacks of the puppet beasts around him. What made him feel very frustrated was that he could not fight back. Even if he used martial arts to fight back, they would disappear.
In other words, he had to withstand the attacks of the puppet beasts. At first, there was only one puppet beast, and he easily resisted it. Then there were two, and now there were four.
"Damn Chen Zong, damn Puppet Cave!" He cursed angrily as he constantly blocked the attacks of the puppet beasts. He had to do it accurately, or he might be hit by the puppet beasts and be injured. Not only would that mean he lost face, but it might also mean that he failed the assessment and lost the opportunity here.
The Ten Thousand Sifting Sect's Pseudo Transcendent Realm master didn't know when this kind of passive defence would come to an end, causing him to feel quite aggrieved. As a cultivator, what he was best at was attacking rather than passively defending, but now, he was being forced to defend, which was undoubtedly a violation of his principles. How could he possibly feel happy about this?
This was the difference between the Heaven door and the Earth door.
The Heaven door fought with the puppet beasts and defeated them, while the Earth door endured the attacks of the puppet beasts until the time was up.
The assessment method was different, but the difficulty was relative; after all, the strength of the puppet beasts was the same, but the strength of the examinee was different.
If Chen Zong had chosen the Earth door, the difficulty might have been similar to choosing the Heaven door, but if the Ten Thousand Sifting Sect pseudo Transcendent chose the Heaven door, the difficulty would be relatively lower.
But who told Chen Zong to enter the Puppet Cave first and choose the Heaven door first?
Everything seemed to have been predestined by fate.
The battle between Chen Zong and the four Puppet Beasts was very intense. Seeing the coordination of the four Puppet Beasts, Chen Zong was very shocked. It was difficult for him to find an opportunity in a short period of time. He could only slowly circle around the four Puppet Beasts and create openings to defeat them one by one.
