The Feng Zun Journey
Test Ladder

But it was as if they were completely locked in that fierce battle in the void of air…

"It's..."

Zhenyu, Han Mei, and Shuoxue looked puzzled.

“This is the Exam Ladder. Each step of the stone staircase was a Great Dao Battlefield, once someone entered it, they would enter a battleground, and that person would face an opponent embodied of the Great Dao.”

At a glance, Feng Zun was able to see every detail of the mysteries stored on the stone stairs, "The higher the stone stairs, the stronger the battle situation that will pass, that means, the more, will be higher also the opponent who will be faced next.”

“In general, only top-level orthodoxy can make an exam spot like this. They were made to give exams to their disciples, it was meant to bring out cultivation talent and train their combat strength."

"Of course, such a battleground could also test the perseverance, spirit, courage, and some other aspects of a cultivator. For example, how far a disciple could climb the stairs, it would be used to determine their status and rank."

“Often times, such exam places are useful for the selection of pupils, as well as used for selecting inner court disciples, outer court, and core disciples.”

When he was very young, Long Shangdi had also given this kind of training to Feng Zun.

Although not entirely the same, but the mystery in it is also not much different.

Back then, when Feng Zun had just arrived at the Shinju Village Pier, his body had once been pulled by a force field, which made him arrive at one of the ruins belonging to the Eternal Dragon Palace.

From there he also discovered some secrets that were in it.

...

After hearing this explanation, Han Mei and the others finally understood, they became very excited and could not wait to give it a try.

An examination place like this, was almost never found again in the outside world!

For them, this was luck in itself, it was a place to hone and know the limits of their abilities!

Moreover, according to Feng Zun's explanation, only top-tier orthodoxies would have an Immortal God within them, who would have the ability to make such a testing ground.

This meant, even fifty thousand years ago, only the greatest factions in the entire world could have a test place like this.

This is certainly worth calling "great luck"!

Only now did they understand how strange the battle Lu Cheng and the others were fighting was.

After thinking about it, Feng Zun said, “This place is indeed good for testing and augmenting your combat abilities. Besides, this place is also harmless, so you should try it."

Shuoxue and the others had already been eager to give it a try, and after hearing Feng Zun's words, they all happily agreed immediately.

Meanwhile Han Mei asked, "Sister Feng, then what about you?"

The beautiful girl in white dress had an ice-cold temper, and was rarely seen chatting.

However, when there was something worrying about Feng Zun, he always paid close attention to him.

Feng Zun smiled slightly and said, "I also want to climb up this test ladder, but my main goal is to go to the center of Lotus Mountain. You can try it now, I want to see, how far the combat power of the three of you is."

This sentence was ordinary, but it silently ignited the fighting spirit of Han Mei and Shuoxue. Then an idea came to their minds.

"Sister Han Mei, what if we compete?"

Shuoxue said with a smile.

The girl had a graceful figure, despite wearing simple clothes, but she exuded a natural beauty, with a strong and conspicuous aura.

"No problem."

Han Mei simply nodded, her expression cold, calm and refined, like a fairy that had never been stained by the flames and dust of the mortal world.

Zhenyu? The two women ignored him…

Zhenyu himself knew, that it was better not to say anything. With his cautious temperament, he couldn't possibly be willing to put up with this kind of competition.

Feng Zun was still standing there, with his hands behind his back, he watched the surrounding situation calmly for a while.

Then Feng Zun turned his hand and took out the sealed golden blood.

He swept his gaze around the area and muttered, as if speaking to himself, "If you dare to cause trouble on the Exam Stairs, don't blame me for acting rude."

With that, he stored back the blood and walked up to the first level stone stairs.

Bang out!

With a strange explosion of power fluctuations, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Feng Zun appeared in a different dimension, now he realized that he was in a dark and endless world.

In all directions there was only a void, there was nothing here, except a huge platform.

Feng Zun stepped confidently onto the massive platform.

Swoshis!

Strange fluctuations of the Great Dao suddenly appeared, followed by the appearance of a human figure.

The figure was wearing a Daoist robe, he had a golden belt on his waist, and an ancient sword on his back. Although his figure was faint, but he was emitting the aura of an early stage Immortal Realm.

This was the "Testing Figure" formed from the Great Dao.

Feng Zun did not seem to be surprised by this at all.

The figure of the examiner at each level of the stairs, would have a cultivation identical to that of the person doing the exam.

The cultivation that Feng Zun displayed was only at the early Immortal realm, naturally his testing figure was also at the same realm.

The higher the stone stairs, the cultivation of the examiner figure would not go down, but his strength would continue to get stronger..

Han Mei, Shuoxue, and Zhenyu were also facing the same scenario.

The cultivation of the examiner figures was the same as the challengers. This was the only way, to ensure that the resulting clash would be effective, and trigger the cultivation talent of the examinees, while polishing their combat skills.

If the guards were too strong, then this Exam Ladder would be of no use.

"Could it be, this examiner figure was the soul left behind by a powerful Immortal God figure in the Eternal Dragon Palace?"

Feng Zun wondered as he looked at the figure of the examiner.

It takes the strength of a Peak Immortal God cultivator to make the Trial Ladder. Only in that way, the Battlefield could work optimally, for cultivators of all different levels.

Although the figure of the examiner with the golden belt was quite faint, Feng Zun was confident that his strength and fighting skills, would also be based on the strength belonging to the Immortal God who made this Trial Ladder.

"I want to see, how far away the power of an Immortal is in the eyes of the Eternal Dragon Palace, I hope ..you do not disappoint me too much."

Feng Zun shook his head and did not delay anymore.

Swoshis!

When he extended his hand, a sword qi suddenly solidified.

It practically made the figure of the examiner also draw out the ancient sword on his back, and his aura instantly grew stronger.

Feng Zun stepped forward and swung his sword casually.

Bang out!

Even before the guard could move, his body had been split into two pieces.
