I'm afraid it's not that easy.

As the replicated self was defeated, it once again transformed into a beam of light, becoming a portrait of Zhong Qing, which was then imprinted on the wall.

Zhong Qing didn't mind, calmly ascending to the second floor of the Pagoda.

However, while he was unperturbed, Green Ghost and Fire Drought outside were anything but.

"What's going on?"

The two looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.

In their view, facing a self ten times stronger, even if Zhong Qing could win, it should have been a tragic victory.

Not to mention a fierce battle, he should have at least endured a brutal struggle.

Yet, there was nothing of the sort.

Zhong Qing simply waved his hand and directly defeated the self that was ten times stronger than his original.

"Damn it, what kind of Prodigy is this?"

Green Ghost expressed that he couldn't understand it anymore!

Things seemed to have deviated from his imagination.

Fire Drought suppressed his trembling heart and said to himself, "There are inevitably some discrepancies between the self replicated by the rules of the first floor and the original self."

"On the second floor, the rules are more complete; it won't be so easy for him to pass through like this!"

"Let's observe first!"

As the two spoke!

Zhong Qing had already stepped onto the second floor!

On this floor!

The walls were still inscribed with countless figures, including various powerful Vicious Beasts, many ancient Saints, and even various Buddha powerhouses.

But compared to the first floor, the figures on the wall were undoubtedly much fewer.

This gave Zhong Qing a sudden realization.

If one could pass the challenge, their figure would be imprinted on the wall.

Becoming a part of the rules.

This Pagoda is quite interesting!

Just then, a divine light appeared on the wall again, replicating another figure.

It was still in Zhong Qing's likeness.

This figure was still at Myriad Laws Realm sixth level.

However, its overall Aura was ten times stronger than what Zhong Qing had displayed on the first floor.

Zhong Qing's eyes flickered.

He felt that he had encountered a replication!

And it was a replication with ten times the strength.

Of course, this replication was not a complete version.

At least, Zhong Qing's Immortal Body, Overlord Body, and even his Peerless Aura at the same level... were not replicated.

It was just a tenfold replication of body statistics.

And Zhong Qing vaguely sensed that the System was related to all of this.

Just then, the replicated self attacked Zhong Qing without warning.

Its form was like a Dragon, and its terrifying Law power seemed to shake the heavens and suppress everything.

The self replicated by this Pagoda was not an inanimate object; each floor was imbued with a different aspect of the original self's personality.

If the first floor was graceful, then the original self replicated on the second floor was insidious.

Facing the suddenly attacking self, Zhong Qing remained still, raising his hand and waving it again.

A surge of Qi swept out, directly piercing through the opponent's head.

With his Peerless Aura at the same level, even if the replicated self's various statistics were ten times his own, it couldn't cause the slightest ripple in his hands.

Outside the Illusory Saint Pagoda!

Green Ghost and Fire Drought's faces turned green as they watched Zhong Qing directly step onto the third floor.

Recalling earlier, they had been gloating, ready to watch Zhong Qing make a fool of himself.

But what was the result?

The two suddenly realized that they were the clowns.

Before they could react, Zhong Qing had already ascended from the third floor to the fourth floor.

In an instant, the two almost had their eyeballs pop out.

"What kind of Prodigy is this?"

"Connecting four floors?"

Green Ghost's voice changed.

But no sooner had he spoken than Zhong Qing directly ascended to the fifth floor.

The speed at which the two's expressions changed couldn't keep up with Zhong Qing's ascent.

After one round of changing expressions after another, Green Ghost and Fire Drought were utterly stunned.

Until the very end, watching Zhong Qing directly step onto the top floor, the two completely broke down.

Green Ghost only felt his scalp tingle.

"This person..."

"This person..."

He trembled, his whole person seeming somewhat incoherent.

The Illusory Saint Pagoda!

Known as the place where Prodigies faltered and sank into the sand.

It was actually cleared just like that!

Looking back, it wasn't that no one had ever cleared it.

But who didn't go through a near-death experience, lasting dozens or even hundreds of years?

How could anyone who didn't Break through their limits and surpass them possibly pass?

But what about Zhong Qing?

Passing through the Illusory Saint Pagoda was like playing a game.

How long did it take him to climb from the first floor to the tenth floor?

Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Does he have no limits?"

Green Ghost felt that all the astonishment he had accumulated in his life combined was not as intense as this single instance.

Fire Drought, beside him, was in no better shape.

Zhong Qing's appearance repeatedly shattered his understanding.

When they first met, he only felt that Zhong Qing was young, yet they couldn't see through him, vaguely perceiving his extraordinary nature.

Later, at the Five Directions Divine Hall, seeing Zhong Qing indifferent to the hall full of treasures, he increasingly felt that Zhong Qing was a promising talent.

Able to perfectly suppress his greed.

But what was the result?

Zhong Qing's greed exceeded imagination.

Even the Five Directions Divine Hall was packed up and taken away by him.

This was one of the few times in his life he had misjudged someone.

When passing through the Magic Bamboo Formation, he was still discussing with Green Ghost whether Zhong Qing had a chance to succeed in passing, but what happened? Zhong Qing just walked out directly.

And now, this Illusory Saint Pagoda trial.

Good heavens!

Even if they entered it, even if they didn't die, they would be stripped of a layer of skin.

But what was the result? Zhong Qing just walked to the end as if playing a game.

Speaking of Prodigies, Fire Drought had seen many.

He had also encountered many peerless Prodigies.

In fact, he himself was a Prodigy.

But he had truly never seen a Prodigy like Zhong Qing.

The extent of his Prodigy even made him feel it was demonic.

No matter how he looked at it, it was evil.

At this moment, the way the two looked at Zhong Qing completely changed.

They truly felt that Zhong Qing was specifically here to break the limitations of their understanding.

After their astonishment, the two dared not delay and rushed to the Abyss at the first opportunity.

They had to report this news to the Lord of the Abyss immediately.

And after the two left.

Zhong Qing walked out of the Pagoda.

He looked at the Illusory Saint Pagoda; although it wasn't very useful for improving his strength, it was still quite good.

Having entered a treasure mountain, how could he return empty-handed?

Moreover, this thing would be an invaluable asset for training his Disciples in the future.

If he had to obtain such a trial treasure himself, he wouldn't even know where to find one.

He just hoped that his future beloved Disciples wouldn't blame him.

As he mused, he waved his large hand and directly put the Pagoda into his Small World.

After doing all this, Zhong Qing felt as if something was still missing.

His Small World seemed to be lacking some greenery.

The Purple Bamboo he passed earlier was good.

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing's eyes flickered.

He directly retraced his steps along the ancient path.

That patch of Purple Bamboo was of extraordinary quality; putting it into his Small World could indeed add some color to it.
