With Zhi Yue and Xian Xian Yu Shou's strength, completing the Hell Trial quests was not difficult, even the ninth and tenth stages. This was especially true since they could use Regret Stones and Invincible Stones—Invincible Stones gave them a greater chance of defeating other players' Artificial Intelligence, while Regret Stones allowed them to restart a quest after failing it. After a few more attempts, they would be able to complete the quests.
