Nine Character Square!
The Wuyue Clan disciples stared wide-eyed as the character "Bing" on the Nine Character Pagoda's second level lit up. They could hardly believe it.
"He passed the second level too!"
"Lu Ren only just reached the early Profound Immortal Realm. How could he refine a high-grade immortal treasure of superior quality?"
While the crowd argued, Lu Ren entered the third level.
The third level, marked "Dou," tested one's Battle Soul.
The character "Dou" transformed into phantom Battle Souls wielding blades, spears, swords, halberds, and staves. They charged at Lu Ren without pause, much like the attacks on the second level.

Ordinarily, shattering the phantoms formed by "Dou" required at least a thousandfold amplification. For many Golden Immortal Realm cultivators, that was easy enough.
Yet they could only withstand the phantoms' attacks. Lu Ren could shatter them.
A flood of energy surged into Lu Ren's sea of consciousness, and another corner of the tattered book floating there took shape.
"Not even a quarter of an incense stick has burned, and he's passed the third level? What's going on?"
"Lu Ren has the Void of Destiny Sword Soul. Of course the third level wouldn't be difficult for him!"

An ordinary cultivator taking the third-level test would summon his Sword Soul, fend off the Battle Souls' attacks, and pass after holding out for half an incense stick.
But Lu Ren had spent less than a quarter of an incense stick on the third level.
"Lu Ren passed the third level. The fourth probably won't trouble
