A bright halo suddenly appeared atop the mountain road, with it reaching down the road's end.
As soon as it appeared, drops of spiritual light rained down on the Spiritual Emperors below.
"Everyone, stay sharp! This is the first trial to see if you are qualified enough to truly enter the Holy Heaven Palace. Protect yourself with your spiritual power immediately! If you are touched by the spiritual light, the damage would be unimaginable! If you can't fight back, then just stay where you are." Being the great leader he was, Colton immediately reminded everyone from the front.
The Spiritual Emperors didn't dare to be careless. Following his orders, they all immediately released their spiritual power to protect themselves.
At first, they thought that this would be nothing but a joke. But the moment the spiritual light fell on them, their knees instantly buckled and their face became as pale as snow. It was as if the weight of the whole world was raining down on them. Several low-level Spiritual Emperors did not stand a chance. Upon the first impact, they immediately spat out blood and were rendered immobile.
However, when they stopped moving, the spiritual light also stopped falling down on them.
On the other hand, those who kept moving were being tirelessly bombarded left and right.
Seeing what might happen to them if they got hit, everyone made sure to release all of their spiritual power to protect themselves.
But soon, more low-level Spiritual Emperors gave up because they couldn't hold on.
Several gruesome minutes passed before Colton led them out of the narrow passage and into a bright scenery. The new place was filled with gorgeous mountains and pristine lakes. At the edge of their view, they saw a magnificent gate with steps behind it.
"Everyone present has passed the first test. For the second trial, you have to climb to the top of the mountain. The entrance to the trial field is located there. Same as before, if you can't go on, you have to stop where you are."
"Chief Colton, there are only around a hundred steps, at most. I don't think it's hard to get there!" an arrogant middle-level Spiritual Emperor shouted from the crowd.
"Well, why don't you to have a try first?" Colton said with a playful smile.
The cocky Spiritual Emperor smiled back as if he already won the trial. Without a second thought, he jumped up and rushed through the gate in one breath. But when he was about to approach it, the ground beneath him disappeared into thin air.
He refused to give up so easily. He still tried to force his way through, but the moment his feet fell, an invisible force pushed him back.
"Well..." The Spiritual Emperor looked frustrated and turned his head away in embarrassment.
"Let me give you a suggestion. You can't make your way through the gate with brute strength. The more power you use, the more you'll be pushed back." Rocky saw through the second test at first glance. In fact, he knew that it was the gate that mattered.
"You mean that if we use the least amount of strength possible, we'll pass through?" Eunice, who was beside Rocky, asked.
"That's true. But it's easier said than done. You have to resist the power coming from the gate while making sure you won't release that much power of your own. Only someone who can perfectly control his spiritual power can easily do this task," Rocky said with certainty.
"To put it bluntly, the second trial is aimed to test the subtlety of your control over your spiritual power." Carla also understood what he meant.
"Who else would like to have a try?" Colton turned around and asked.
"Let me have a try!" A hand shot out from the crowd. A confident high-level Spiritual Emperor confidently volunteered.
When the Spiritual Emperor reached the gate, he immediately released his spiritual power to spread out of his body. Instead of moving violently like the last one, he made his spiritual power flow gently like a stream.
