Bexia found that his understanding of his own current combat power was slightly insufficient. After several days of challenges and constant stimulation of his potential in life-and-death battles, he found that his combat power had greatly increased.
Actual combat is a shortcut to rapid improvement. It took Bexia nearly a week to break through the twentieth level, making him the second person in the group to do so, aside from the sovereign, Conesy.
As for Baizhi and Heitong, they were stuck on the thirteenth and fourteenth levels respectively. They had lower foundations compared to practitioners in the outside world, and although they had good talents and Christine had taught them some things, their progress in strength was still limited in a short period of time.
"Master, I have passed the fortieth level. Here are the rewards of this time!" Conesy took out a few things. Although they were given to her according to her strength, they were of no use to her as a special lifeform.
"So fast?" Bexia was also surprised by Conesy's speed of progress.
"Master, don't you have any idea how powerful Conesy is?" Christine held Beibei in her arms and combed her hair while claiming to have changed the little one's clothes and added some accessories. Beibei became even cuter, and after Christine's efforts over the past few days, she could speak a few simple words.
"Alright!" Bexia remembered that as long as Conesy had enough materials, she could become an immortal battleship. Although she didn't have a ship god now, she could at least be considered semi-immortal. It would be a problem if her progress in the trials was not fast enough.
Moreover, the challenge from the twentieth level to the thirtieth level was about endurance, and before the fortieth level, it was about mental strength. Conesy naturally had a natural advantage in these aspects, not to mention her mental strength that was comparable to immortality. There would be something wrong if she couldn't reach that level.
"By the way, what comes after the fortieth level?" Bexia asked. Although he was still at the twenty-fifth level, he wanted to understand it in advance.
"After the fortieth level, the trial is comprehension. There will be a stone tablet with a skill on it, and you need to comprehend it within an hour, otherwise it will be considered a failure!" Conesy answered.
"Master, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't continue the challenge!" Conesy said apologetically.
"Why?" Bexia was a little confused.
"Although I can understand, I can't release those skills, so I can't pass the remaining levels!" Conesy replied.
Alright! Seems like I forgot about this. As an intelligent life form, the comprehension under her calculation power is simply incomparable to ordinary people. But besides the abilities of brute force and artillery, she doesn't seem to have much effect in other aspects!
"It's okay, it's not your fault!" Bexia patted her head to comfort her. He found that this trick was particularly effective on Conesy, not only making her a little coy, but also relieving her serious personality.
After Conesy stopped challenging, it didn't matter much. Bexia was not worried about who would ultimately inherit the Light of Holiness. They all had Divinity, and becoming the inheritors here would actually be harmful to them. Bexia estimated that he would leave in a while.
After Conesy stopped challenging, no one at the sovereign level entered the Light of Holiness. Although Baizhi and Heitong were diligent, they still needed to recover from their injuries, leaving only Bexia alone.
Bexia was stuck on the twenty-fifth floor, where the pressure was not impossible to overcome but still challenging. All the challenges from the twentieth to the thirtieth floors were the same and they were all combined, totaling one thousand levels. Each level had a powerful pressure that increased by one every hundred levels.
"Master, how about we go together?" Christine suddenly said.
"Huh? Go together?" Bexia couldn't understand what she meant.
"Of course, I'll go in with you! I think we might be able to cheat!" Christine said mischievously, her figure turned into a shadow and disappeared, all entering Bexia's body, and she concealed her power. Bexia appeared as if she was still at her previous peak level.
"Can this really work?!" Bexia naturally knew what it meant, Christine and him merging together, and then using her power to pass the levels.
Using the power of a sovereign to pass levels of extreme difficulty, if this could really work, Bexia might actually be able to reach the one hundredth floor.
"Try it and you'll know, master." Christine was not certain either, but the connection between her and Bexia was very special, so maybe it could actually be done.
"Then let's give it a try!" Bexia was actually a bit excited. If this really worked, then...
Feeling slightly anxious, Bexia's steps were slightly slower than usual, worried about what would happen if the path of holy light discovered him?
Slowly stepping into the light curtain, he passed through without any hindrance and appeared in the middle of a long staircase.
"I really made it in!" Bexia quickly asked Christine inside him, "How about you, Christine?"
"I'm fine, but my power can't leave the master's body, otherwise, I'll be expelled!" Christine replied.
"So cheating is really possible!" Bexia looked at the remaining stairs, with Christine inside him, there was no pressure around him. Now, even running up would be effortless.
"So what are we waiting for, master? Let's go up quickly!" Christine's voice was also somewhat excited. She had a somewhat mischievous personality.
"Then let's rush up in one go!" Bexia stepped up, with no pressure, these stairs were just ordinary stairs once the pressure disappeared. Originally, Bexia took a few cautious steps, but later he directly jumped multiple stairs in one step, throwing the rewards along the way into the subspace.
The pressure was gone. After reaching the thirtieth floor, it tested the minds. There were no battles or pressure here, only various realistic illusions.
There were endless wealth resources, countless beautiful women, towering power, and strong strength, etc. It was an extreme challenge to a person's mind. If their mind was not firm, they might really get lost in it.
This level was not as simple as it seemed. As long as one failed once, the illusions inside would become the challenger's inner demons. When they came to challenge again, unless they defeated their inner demons, they would be stuck here for a lifetime.
It had nothing to do with actual strength, but it was about an individual's mindset. However, Bexia was not fighting alone. Christine in his body completely ignored the illusions here. With her reminders, the illusions held no effect on Bexia whatsoever.
Easy pass, no difficulty at all!
With cheats on, Bexia sang all the way and quickly reached the fortieth floor.
