130 Maze (1/2)
.

.
The Illusory Ancestral Training Ground is divided into 9 levels. To separate the guys from the girls, the girls were put on the 1st level while the guys were put on the 2nd. This was why there weren't too many people surprised that Xiao Hei came out of the first test looking as clean as Xiao Fang did.
1st level: 2nd - 3rd tiered beasts
2nd level: 3rd - 4th tiered beasts
3rd level: 4th - 5th tiered beasts
Etc...
Tier levels to Cultivation Realms:
1st Tier = ~5th stage foundation realm
2nd Tier = ~1st stage Refinement realm
3rd Tier = ~5th stage Refinement realm
4th Tier = ~1st stage Spirit Core realm
etc...

Since the [ Illusory Body ] method could increase a cultivator's body power by an entire realm, the sect would usually only recommend girls in the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Refinement realm to train in the 2nd level of the Ancestral Training Grounds. However, most, if not all of the men in the outer court, hadn't even started practicing a cultivation method yet. Although it wasn't too uncommon to find a few Spirit core or Solid Body realm cultivators doing the inner court exam, they were usually much older than Xiao Fang was.
...
Inside the 2nd testing area, Xiao Fang was walking through a hallway when he suddenly heard an illusory elder speak.
”If you are registered under an elder, proceed through the right door. If you have no master, enter through the left.”
Xiao Fang walked up to the right door, but before he could open it the elder suddenly spoke again.
”Through this door is a maze. Your objective is to reach the other end. If you cannot pass this round before the sun comes down you will fail.”
There was more than 12 hours left till the sun came down, so time wasn't an issue for him.
Xiao Fang walked through the right door then scanned the area once inside. What he sensed surprised him.
There were several openings to the maze, but nearly all of them reached the end without any blocked ends.
'Is this really a maze? Even a child could pass this test,' Xiao Fang thought.
Without thinking too much into it, Xiao Fang began walking down a random path. He was paying close attention to his surroundings, but nothing happened. The further down the path he walked the less cautious he became.
