Chu Feng's advancing footsteps came to a halt.
He looked toward Ling Xinian.
"Sister Xinian, did my climbing to the top of the Seven Star Gravity Tower cause trouble for you as well?"
Chu Feng asked via secret voice transmission.
"Brother Chu Feng, I'm not blaming you. It's just…"
"Your actions today will indeed make certain people in our Seven Worlds Holy Land lose face, and it will make enemies for you."
"The Seven Worlds Challenge Formation — go take it, and deliberately fail. That way, they'll feel more balanced. It'll be good for you," Ling Xinian said.
"Fine. Since Sister Xinian has asked, I'll go take the challenge."
Once Chu Feng finished speaking, he turned to look at the provocative red-haired man.
"Where is the Seven Worlds Challenge Formation? Lead the way," Chu Feng said.
"Oh, you've actually got the guts, huh? Come on then — I want to see for myself whether your talent really is all that impressive."
As the red-haired man spoke, he rose into the air and truly led the way for Chu Feng.
Chu Feng followed right behind him.
The situation had, in truth, already reached a point of no return.
Whether it was genuine or an act, the fact remained that everyone had seen Chu Feng in a weakened state.
And yet, in this condition, they were still pressuring Chu Feng to challenge another formation…
What were their intentions? Everyone knew perfectly well.
And with the red-haired man acting so hostile, not a single person among the crowd of Seven Worlds Holy Land members stepped in to stop him.
Not even the Saint-level Elder intervened.
This wasn't merely one man's intention — it was the intention of all of them.
They all wanted to salvage their pride this way. Despicable, shameless, utterly devoid of dignity — and yet they did it anyway.
What could Chu Feng do about it?
If he didn't fail at least once, he probably wouldn't be allowed to leave peacefully.
Soon, under the man's lead and surrounded by the crowd from the Seven Worlds Holy Land, Chu Feng laid eyes on the so-called Seven Worlds Challenge Formation.
Along the way, Ling Xinian had already secretly explained the Seven Worlds Challenge Formation to Chu Feng.
It was a talent-testing formation.
It was said to have been developed based on the unique properties of the Seven Spirit Realms and had existed since the founding of the Seven Worlds Holy Land.
This was no simple talent test — it also included a component testing one's control over Mental Power.
To this day, even those who could complete just a single challenge were considered geniuses.
Of course, almost every junior who appeared here had already completed at least one challenge.
Ling Yunhao, for instance, had completed two.
Ling Xinian and Jie Feng had each completed three.
But completing four challenges was extremely difficult — very few had ever managed it.
As for five, in the entire history of the Seven Worlds Holy Land, only five people had accomplished it.
Among the current generation of juniors, only Ling Xiao and Ling Sheng'er had completed five challenges.
But completing five was already their absolute limit.
As for six, only a single person had ever achieved it — Jie Ranqing.
But six challenges were not Jie Ranqing's limit. Jie Ranqing's limit was completing all seven.
Jie Ranqing was the only person in the entire history of the Seven Worlds Holy Land to have achieved that feat.
…
And the Seven Worlds Challenge Formation, compared to the Seven Star Gravity Tower they had just faced, was indeed far more spectacular.
The Seven Worlds Challenge Formation featured seven statues of varying forms, each towering ten thousand meters tall.
These seven statues represented the Seven Spirit Realms, arranged in a circle around a central plaza.
That plaza was suspended in midair and was not fixed in place — it rose and fell in a constant undulating motion.
According to Ling Xinian, one simply needed to step onto the plaza to begin the challenge.
But Chu Feng's gaze drifted deeper into the Holy Valley.
