I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

"There are indeed weaknesses. Every formation has its own key point. As long as you can find and destroy the key point, you can quickly break out of the formation."

Elder Mo said slowly, "However, the core of this formation is very well hidden and it keeps moving. Finding the core is not an easy task. Moreover, in the process of finding the core, you will be attacked by the formation. If you are not careful, you will be seriously injured by the formation."

Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Thank you for your explanation, Elder Mo. I understand now. When I reach the fourth level, I will carefully search for the array's core and be cautious in dealing with the array's attacks, striving to break out of the array as quickly as possible."

"Yes, it's good that you have this thought in mind."

Master Mo nodded and continued, "The test of the fifth level is to resist inner demons."

Your inner demons will appear inside the tower. These demons will transform into what you fear and desire most, confusing your mind. As long as you can stay true to yourself and not be misled by your inner demons, you will have passed the test.

This level of trial primarily tests your character. If your character is not steadfast enough, you can easily be consumed by your inner demons and never be able to escape their clutches.

Jiang Wang's heart tightened. Resisting inner demons is a huge test for any cultivator. Everyone has their own inner demons, and it is not an easy thing to stick to one's original mind and not be deceived by them.

He quickly said, "Elder Mo, although my will is quite firm, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist my inner demons. I wonder if Elder Mo has any way to help me resist my inner demons?"

"There is a method."

Master Mo smiled and said, "Before entering the fifth level, you can first circulate your cultivation technique to stabilize your mind and eliminate distracting thoughts. As long as you have no distracting thoughts, stick to your original intention, and are not swayed by the temptation of inner demons, you can resist inner demons."

Additionally, you can carry some calming and tranquil items with you, which can also help you resist the temptations of inner demons.

"Thank you for your guidance, Elder Mo. I will remember it."

Jiang Wang quickly replied, "Although I do not possess any treasures that can calm the mind, I will certainly practice my cultivation techniques to stabilize my spirit, eliminate distracting thoughts, uphold my true self, and not be misled by inner demons."

"Ah, very good."

Elder Mo nodded and continued, "The test on the sixth level is a test of strength."

A pressure field will appear inside the tower, and the pressure of the pressure field will continue to increase, from the pressure of the early stage of Hunyuan to the pressure of the peak of Hunyuan. As long as you can endure the pressure field for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn without being crushed by the pressure, you will pass the test.

This level of testing primarily assesses your physical strength and primordial energy. If your physical strength and primordial energy are insufficient, you can easily be crushed by the pressure, causing your body to shatter.

Jiang Wang thought to himself, "This test of strength is an opportunity for me. My physical strength is stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level because I have cultivated some physical techniques before. Moreover, I have the help of the system. I should be able to pass the test of the sixth level."

He quickly said, "Thank you for your explanation, Elder Mo. I understand now. When I reach the sixth level, I will definitely do my best and persevere, and not be crushed by the pressure."

"Hmm, your physical strength seems quite good. You should be able to pass the test of the sixth level."

Mo Lao glanced at Jiang Wang and said with a smile, "The test of the seventh level is to comprehend the Great Dao."

The light of the Great Dao will appear inside the tower, containing endless insights into the Great Dao. As long as you can comprehend one of the Great Daos within the light of the Great Dao, you will have passed the test.

This level of testing is extremely difficult. Many cultivators at the peak of the Primordial Chaos realm are unable to comprehend the Great Dao within the light of the Great Dao and ultimately have to give up.

"Comprehend the Great Dao?"

Jiang Wang was filled with anticipation. He came to the Secret Realm Tower to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm, cultivate the "Nine Extremes Primordial Technique," and comprehend the Great Dao. This was of utmost importance to him.

He quickly said, "Elder Mo, are the insights into the Great Dao in the Light of the Great Dao extremely profound? Is it very difficult to comprehend a Great Dao?"

"That's right, the insights into the Great Dao in the Light of the Great Dao are extremely profound and cannot be easily comprehended."

Elder Mo said slowly, "Moreover, everyone's talent is different, and the difficulty of comprehending the Great Dao is also different. Some people may be able to comprehend a Great Dao in an instant, while others may not be able to comprehend even a trace of the Great Dao even if they stay in the light of the Great Dao for a long time."

However, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you calm down and carefully contemplate, you might just grasp a profound truth.

Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Elder Mo. I will definitely calm down and earnestly comprehend the Great Dao insights within the light of the Great Dao, and strive to understand a Great Dao so as to pass the test of the seventh level."

"Yes, that's ambitious."

Elder Mo smiled and continued, "The test on the eighth level is to fight against a saint."

A phantom of an early-stage Saint will appear inside the tower. This phantom's strength is exactly the same as that of a real early-stage Saint cultivator. You can only pass the test by defeating this Saint phantom.

This level of testing is extremely brutal. The strength of an early-stage Saint far surpasses that of a peak-stage Primordial Chaos cultivator. Many peak-stage Primordial Chaos cultivators are unable to defeat the Saint's phantom and are ultimately annihilated by it.

Jiang Wang was shocked. The phantom of an early-stage Saint was an invincible existence for him. He was only at the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm. Even if he tried his best, he could not defeat the phantom of an early-stage Saint.

He quickly said, "Elder Mo, the phantom of a Saint in the early stage is so powerful. How could we, cultivators in the Primordial Chaos Realm, possibly defeat him? Isn't this eighth level of the test too cruel?"

"Haha, that's really cruel."

Elder Mo smiled and said, "However, the trials of the Secret Realm Tower are inherently cruel. To enter the Great Dao Secret Realm and cultivate divine skills, one must pay a price."

Moreover, although the illusory image of the saint is powerful, it also has its own weaknesses. As long as we can find the weakness of the illusory image of the saint and concentrate our strength to attack the weakness, we may be able to defeat the illusory image of the saint.

However, finding the weakness of the saint's phantom is no easy task. Moreover, in the process of attacking the weakness, one will also be attacked by the saint's phantom. If one is not careful, one will be obliterated by the saint's phantom.

Jiang Wang nodded, pondering to himself. Although the illusory image of the saint was powerful, it must have its own weaknesses. As long as he could find those weaknesses, he would have a chance to defeat it.

He quickly said, "Thank you for your explanation, Elder Mo. I understand now. When I reach the eighth level, I will carefully search for the weaknesses of the Saint's phantom, concentrate my strength to attack those weaknesses, and strive to defeat the Saint's phantom and pass the test." "Hmm, it's good that you have this confidence."

Elder Mo nodded and continued, "The test of the ninth level is to comprehend the chaos."

Chaotic energy will appear inside the tower, containing the laws of chaos. As long as you can comprehend a trace of the laws of chaos within the chaotic energy, you will pass the test and be able to enter the Great Dao Secret Realm.

This level of trial is the most difficult. Even cultivators at the peak of the Saint realm find it hard to comprehend the laws of chaos within the chaotic energy. Many cultivators stumble at this level and ultimately have no choice but to give up.

"Comprehend the laws of chaos?"

Jiang Wang was filled with anticipation. The Chaos Law was one of the most powerful laws. If he could comprehend even a trace of the Chaos Law, his cultivation and strength would be greatly enhanced. Moreover, after entering the Great Dao Secret Realm, cultivating the Nine Extremes Primordial Art would be much smoother.

He quickly asked, "Elder Mo, isn't the chaotic energy extremely domineering? Is it very difficult to comprehend the laws of chaos?"

"That's right. Chaotic energy is extremely domineering. If your physical body and soul are not strong enough, you can easily be devoured by chaotic energy, causing your physical body to shatter and your soul to dissipate."

Elder Mo slowly said, "Moreover, the laws of chaos are extremely profound, far surpassing other laws of the Great Dao. It is very difficult to comprehend even a trace of the laws of chaos. Even a cultivator at the peak of the Saint realm would need to spend a very long time to comprehend even a trace of the laws of chaos."

However, you don't need to worry too much. You come from the One Heart Realm. Although the aura of laws in the One Heart Realm is faint, you might have the talent to comprehend the laws of chaos and be able to quickly sense a trace of them within the chaotic energy.

Jiang Wang nodded and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Elder Mo. I will do my best. No matter how domineering the chaotic energy is or how profound the chaotic laws are, I will try my best to comprehend them and strive to pass the test of the ninth level and enter the Great Dao Secret Realm."

"Yes, very good, that's ambitious."

Old Mo smiled and said, "However, you must also remember not to push yourself too hard. If you encounter a test that you cannot pass, give up on the spot and save your life. As long as you save your life, you will have another chance to challenge the tower in the future."

After all, as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a future resurgence.

"I will remember this, thank you for your concern, Elder Mo."

Jiang Wang quickly replied, his heart filled with gratitude towards Elder Mo. Elder Mo not only gave him the test of explaining the Secret Realm Tower, but also constantly encouraged and reminded him. He would remember this kindness.

Just then, a majestic voice rang out: "Attention all cultivators attempting to conquer the tower! The challenge to the Secret Realm Tower is about to begin. All cultivators, please take out your tower-conquering tokens, line up to enter the Secret Realm Tower, and abide by its rules once inside. Do not damage the tower's restrictions or attack each other. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Wang and Elder Mo stopped their conversation and looked up. They saw the Qilin Commander standing at the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower, addressing all the cultivators in line. He exuded a powerful aura and his eyes were filled with majesty.

"Alright, the tower challenge has begun, let's hurry up and go in."

Elder Mo smiled and said to Jiang Wang, "Young friend Jiang Wang, I wish you a smooth journey through the tower, and that you will soon pass the nine-level test, enter the Great Dao Secret Realm, and cultivate divine skills."

Jiang Wang nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your blessing, Elder Mo. I also wish you a smooth journey through the tower and that you will soon pass the nine-level test, enter the Great Dao Secret Realm, and cultivate even more powerful techniques."

If we meet inside the tower, please take good care of us, Elder Mo.

"Haha, no problem, no problem."

Old Mo smiled and said, "If we meet inside the tower, it would be right for us to help each other."

Okay, let's hurry inside, don't waste any time.

Jiang Wang nodded and followed Elder Mo, queuing up to walk towards the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower. When they reached the entrance, Commander Qilin glanced at the temporary tower-climbing token in Jiang Wang's hand, nodded, and said in a calm tone, "Go in. Remember, be careful and don't push yourself too hard."

"Thank you for the reminder, Lord Qilin."

Jiang Wang bowed in thanks, then turned and walked into the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower.

As soon as Jiang Wang entered the Secret Realm Tower, he felt a powerful aura of law rushing towards him, several times more concentrated than the aura of law on the Auspicious Continent. He took a deep breath, and a rich aura of law surged into his body, making him feel comfortable all over, and his cultivation level also improved slightly.

"Such a rich aura of laws! Cultivating here is indeed twice as effective with half the effort."

Jiang Wang sighed inwardly, "If I can stay in the Secret Realm Tower for a while longer after I finish clearing the tower and cultivate properly, my cultivation level will definitely improve rapidly."

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang in Jiang Wang's ears: "Jiang Wang, a cultivator attempting to enter the tower, has reached the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm. His temporary tower-entry token has been verified. He has entered the first level of the Secret Realm Tower. The test has begun. He must withstand the attacks of demonic beasts and persevere for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to pass the test. If he fails, he will be obliterated by the restrictions within the tower, or he may choose to give up his attempt."

Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the first level of the test had begun. He quickly composed himself, circulated the primordial energy within his body, and prepared for battle, while also vigilantly observing his surroundings.

The first level of the Secret Realm Tower is a huge hall. The hall is covered with dense runes, which exude a faint aura of restriction. In the center of the hall is an open space, which is obviously the place for the test.

Just as Jiang Wang was observing his surroundings, dark figures suddenly appeared all around the hall. These figures moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Jiang Wang in the blink of an eye. Upon closer inspection, Jiang Wang realized that these figures were all demonic beasts, some resembling wolves, some tigers, and some bears. They were all demonic beasts at the early and middle stages of the Primordial Chaos realm, numbering in the hundreds. Their eyes were fierce, radiating a dense aura of malevolence, as they pounced towards Jiang Wang.

"Good timing!"

Jiang Wang shouted loudly, showing no fear. He raised his hand and gathered a burst of early-stage Hunyuan power, slapping it towards the wolf demon at the foremost mid-stage Hunyuan realm. At the same time, he activated the introductory technique of the Nine Extremes Hunyuan Technique to enhance his strength and speed.

With a loud "bang," Jiang Wang's palm slammed into the wolf demon. The wolf demon let out a shrill scream, its body instantly sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground. It coughed up blood, struggled a few times, and then lay still, clearly killed by Jiang Wang's palm strike.

"I didn't expect your strength to be so great. A cultivator at the early stage of the Primordial Chaos realm was able to kill a wolf demon at the middle stage of the Primordial Chaos realm with a single palm strike."

A surprised voice rang out. Jiang Wang turned his head and saw Elder Mo standing not far away, fending off the attacks of the demonic beasts while looking at him with surprise in his eyes. (End of Chapter)
