Chapter 3246: Chapter 3241: Yang Chen’s Outcome?_1
In the first few levels, boundaryless cultivation was enough to pass, and of course, it was not a problem for King Ming Cheng.
King Ming Cheng effortlessly passed the first three rounds, and the test was easy for him without much effort.
However, when it came to the fourth level, the difficulty increased slightly.
But still, King Ming Cheng didn’t encounter much pressure; it just took a bit longer than the previous three levels.
Overall, there were no major issues.
Just like this, King Ming Cheng effortlessly passed the fifth level without any obstacles.
But when he reached the sixth level, King Ming Cheng seemed to encounter difficulties and spent five times the usual time to barely pass.
Then, the time spent on the seventh level was even longer.
It took him a full eight days to get through the eighth level.
It was obvious that King Ming Cheng had exerted a great effort to barely pass the eighth level.
Afterward, he couldn’t last long in the ninth level, and the pool water screen disappeared completely.
"What happened? Why did the screen disappear?" many powerful beings asked.
Wan Huaruo calmly replied, "Daoist Ming Cheng has failed in the ninth level and has left the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower."
"How is it possible that King Ming Cheng ranked lower in this Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower than you?" Quite a few people in Grand Abyss Palace were unable to accept this.
Wan Huaruo was able to pass the ninth level, but King Ming Cheng only passed the eighth level and failed in the ninth level. Wasn’t that worse than Wan Huaruo?
Wan Huaruo spoke softly, "This might be because I have guarded the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower for many years. It does not mean that Daoist Ming Cheng is weaker than me."
Upon hearing this, a group of powerful beings in Grand Abyss Palace felt somewhat relieved.
However, Yang Chen noticed Wan Huaruo’s extraordinary composure.
Wan Huaruo was humble, but it didn’t mean she was weak. Was her superior performance in the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower truly due to her guarding it for years?
Yang Chen secretly shook his head.
That was absolutely not the case.
This woman was quite mysterious.
But that had nothing to do with him. In all places, there were powerful beings. There was still much he didn’t understand about the vast Ten Thousand Realms.
He was now more curious about the Stone Snake’s test, which seemed quite accurate in predicting how far King Ming Cheng could go in the tower.
In an instant, Yang Chen became more interested in the Stone Snake, feeling that it was somewhat familiar as if he had seen it somewhere before.
At this moment, there was some movement at the entrance.
King Ming Cheng came out of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower with a dejected look on his face, having genuinely failed.
Upon seeing this, Broken River revealed a smile, feeling even more delighted.
King Ming Cheng’s return was accompanied only by a sentence, "Sir, this Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower is indeed amazing. I have tried my best."
When the conversation ended, he returned to his original position, expressionless without any more words.
After all, the fact that he could not pass had caused him to lose face.
Broken River laughed, "Daoist Ming Cheng, it seems that you were too confident and couldn’t pass this Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower."
King Ming Cheng sneered, "If Friend Gu is truly confident, why not try the power of Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower and see if you can surpass my result."
Broken River had only intended to mock King Ming Cheng, but was now challenged by him.
Feeling that the Stone Snake test didn’t determine one’s strength absolutely, he had the intention to try.
"Hmph, I will give it a try." Broken River stepped forward, first giving the same three bows, and then struck the Stone Snake with a palm.
Broken River’s strength was also well-known outside. He was considered an old master, and almost all the three great factions were well aware of him.
As he struck the palm, a strong wind erupted, showcasing immense power.
However, the power was obviously weaker than King Ming Cheng’s.
Moments later, the Stone Snake spat out a golden sphere, which fell into the pool water.
Many powerful beings in the Grand Abyss Palace sneered, "Master Gu doesn’t seem to be that great, only getting a golden sphere."
The golden sphere merely represented the ability to reach between the third and seventh levels, which was far inferior in comparison to King Ming Cheng’s jade sphere.
Seeing this, Broken River’s eyebrows furrowed slightly with displeasure, as he didn’t expect that he would fall short of King Ming Cheng in the Stone Snake test.
Yang Chen silently concluded that the so-called Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower’s strength didn’t necessarily play a decisive role, and Wan Huaruo’s reassurance was just that.
Broken River was indeed weaker than King Ming Cheng. Wan Huaruo was indeed profound and unfathomable.
Broken River, of course, wouldn’t believe in such an evil fate now. Seeing people ridicule him, he sneered and said, "Hmph, what Stone Snake test? Pretending to be mysterious, today I will break this rule."
After Broken River finished speaking, he stepped inside the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.
As for the Tower challenge, Broken River was struggling fiercely. But the result was the same as before.
About ten days later, Broken River emerged from the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower with a heavy expression, having only reached the seventh level and failed in the eighth.
The test of the golden sphere was still accurate.
Many people laughed at Broken River as he emerged from the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower. The people in the Grand Abyss Palace, including King Ming Cheng, laughed as well.
King Ming Cheng regained his face. Although he had not reached the top of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, compared to Broken River, he was in a different league entirely.
Subsequently, King Ming Cheng felt even more satisfied with the result.
After Broken River returned, he became subdued, knowing that his achievement wasn’t extraordinary, and didn’t say much. Other people eagerly came forward in succession.
In the end, everyone got a golden sphere, and the results in the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower were very poor. The fifth and sixth levels were common, and the seventh level was rare. There wasn’t even a single person who reached the eighth level like King Ming Cheng.
This caused King Ming Cheng to laugh heartily. His achievements had made him feel disgraced earlier, but now, his position became unattainable and unreachable to others.
This alone proved the strength of King Ming Cheng, hardly allowing anyone to question it.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the golden sphere’s test was flawless. All of them had failed before reaching the eighth level.
Many people gave up after getting a golden sphere, too lazy to waste any more time.
Finally, after about halfway through the testing, Yang Chen felt that it was about time and didn’t want to waste more time. He said, "I’ll give it a try."
