242 Concluding The Second Visi (1/2)
”Strength-wise I think you could contend with even talented Core Bearing Stage Cultivators evenly in your base form. But if you went all out, if you used your Nine Chaos Seals on top of your new Wolf God form… Perhaps even Nascent Cultivators would have to tread carefully,” Yrre said as she put away her new blade into her new spatial ring; even her attire was new.
Elizabeth nodded as she mimicked her teacher and followed her out of the Challenge Chamber. Like Yrre, Elizabeth's clothes had undergone an evolution. With her Saint Rank Forging prowess, she had spent days in the Practice Room improving her equipment.

Elizabeth had already done everything there was to do in the Sky Seizing Castle. All the Substations had been completed to Highest Core; or Beyond Core in the case of the Trial of Requiem. All her Skills had been cultivated past the point that she considered ”good enough;” that is to say, beyond what was expected of Cultivators over a Stage ahead of her. Even her equipment and weapons had been upgraded after she exchanged some of her Tickets for resources in the Exchange Hub.
Unfortunately, the price of upgrading her Blood Armaments took a heavy toll on the Tickets she had earned, as their second and third evolutions required materials that could only be purchased for dozens of White Tickets. Yet after all her training, she still had several leftover Tickets.
However, instead of spending her remaining Tickets in the Meditation Room, Elizabeth decided that it was finally time for her to ascend up the spiraling staircase of the round room. Reaching the third floor of the Sky Seizing Castle would give her access to more advanced facilities and though she wouldn't have a single appropriately-marked Ticket, from the information Scion and Yrre gave her, she expected an improvement to the rate of distorted time she could make use of in the Meditation Chamber.
With Yrre following, Elizabeth took her first step up the spiralling staircase and smirked as she was confronted with the same heavy Water Qi that was found at the top of the Waterfall of Insight in the Water Substation Trial. She used her Profound Truth of Flow to effortlessly make the Water Qi part for her and stepped onto the next step.
”Hmm?” Elizabeth's eyes widened as she continued step by step up the spiraling staircase.
Each subsequent step had the Energies of the Substation Trials she had visited in the order that she had completed them. Moreover, they were all at the level where either a Profound Truth proficiency in Understanding or a complete Rudimentary Understanding powered by Core Qi was required to pass by them; at least for the first couple dozen steps.
After all twenty-four of Elizabeth's Profound Truths were tested individually, her Understanding of Chaos was tested at Trash Tier before combinations of Energies began to pressure her as they did in the Trial of Requiem. Of course, compared to the difficulty of reaching the top of the Stairway of Chaos, the spiraling stairway in the round room was child's play; Elizabeth could have easily completed it before reaching the Core Formation Stage.
