Regarding Saint Taiqing's question, Hong Jun had a response he wasn't sure was appropriate to express.
In the end, he still said it: "My requirement for Ji Changsheng was to walk the exact path Luo Hou once took. For the first two trials, he didn't need to exercise subjective initiative. Especially for this trial, he only needed to survive."
With Luo Hou's strength back then, surviving before the heavens were opened wasn't difficult at all.
When it came to the art of escaping, even Pangu couldn't catch Luo Hou.
Pangu's pursuit of ultimate power inevitably rendered his speed inefficient.
Whereas Luo Hou's true form was merely a mass of black fog.
Unless Luo Hou went mad with rage and insisted on a direct deadlock with Pangu, otherwise, Pangu truly couldn't kill Luo Hou.
To be fair, the Cultivation Path Ancestor didn't deliberately make things hard on Ji Changsheng for this trial.
The real difficulty he imposed on Ji Changsheng lay in the third round of assessments.
