The entrance to the towering Nine Trials Pagoda was 50 kilometers wide.
Meng Chuan and the turtle-shelled elder walked through the entrance like two tiny dots.
"Meng Chuan, you will reach the Nine Trials Pagoda's interior if you continue moving forward." The turtle-shelled elder stood in the entranceway and pointed into the pagoda. The pagoda was empty chaos. In the middle was a pill furnace that resembled a hill. "After entering the pagoda, keep moving forward. Reaching the front of that pill furnace means you have survived the first trial."
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. "Walk to the pill furnace?"
"Don't underestimate the first trial," said the turtle-shelled elder with a smile. "In your era, the most powerful people—Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—are both half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences; yet, they have only cleared the fifth trial. As a Sixth Tribulation Eminence… it's very difficult for you to clear the first trial."
