After meditating for a while, Pangu managed to recover his Qi and heal himself up a bit.
Since he was at the foundation establishment realm, completely healing himself would take an entire day, if not two.
Therefore, after getting rid of most of the external injuries and making sure that the internal injuries weren't life threatening or too hindering, Pangu continued forward.
In front of him was a large forest. The trees were around a hundred feet in height, but they didn't seem too big next to Pangu's 25 foot body.
After walking forward just a few steps, Pangu saw his axe. It had collided from above with one of the trees and had bounced off, sticking itself in the ground.
Luckily, it was completely unbroken. Pangu grabbed the axe and walked into the forest. The trees were essentially the only plants around except for a tiny layer of grass on the ground.
That made it easier to see further.
After walking in search of beasts for 5 minutes, he heard a branch snap above him. As he looked up, he saw a 8 foot gorilla standing on a thick tree branch.
With a single glance, Pangu was able to tell that it was at the 5th level of the Qi gathering realm.
If not for the fact that things like trees, ores, and dirt did not have their cultivation erased, the branch would have snapped under the gorilla's weight.
Thinking about it, most trees could not grow in strength. It was only natural that such a thing's cultivation wasn't reset.
After staring at each other for a moment, the gorilla jumped off of the tree branch, attempting to land on Pangu's face.
Pangu simply turned his axe's head around, facing the sharp part up, and swung.
In that single slash, the gorilla was completely cut through.
With the strength of Pangu and the weapon, the gorilla couldn't even survive a casual and weak hit from him.
Despite how easy the battle was, Pangu was barely happy. Although he came out to experience the power of the foundation establishment realm, he had also wanted to increase his understanding of combat.
After a moment of silence, Pangu sighed and continued walking. He would increase his combat knowledge with dave.
There was very little chance that a beast with god rank talent was just walking around.
As Pangu treaded deeper into the forest, he recounted his knowledge of beasts. While beasts could technically cultivate, there was a faster way for them to advance.
That was consuming other beast cores. In that way, their own core would strengthen.
While Pangu was walking around and thinking, Zhou Fan decided to help Pangu out. He still owed all of the five races for resetting their cultivation, but he would try to solve that with time.
For now, he could repay the fiendcelestials. On the face of a small hill that Pangu was walking towards, Zhou Fan created an entrance to a cave. Inside that cave was a teleportation array that could be activated by anyone because of the way it was set up and the fact that the power source was already there.
If Pangu decided to activate the array, he would be teleported to a bunch of trials that Zhou Fan had just set up for him.
He would fight beasts on the same level as him, but they would have increasingly higher combat talent and rarer affinities. If Pangu cleared all the beasts, he would get a reward that Zhou Fan had only given to a few so far.
--------------------------------------------
Pangu continued walking forward through the forest. He had gone thirty minutes without seeing a single beast.
He was just about to turn around and give up, but he spotted a cave ahead.
He wasn't sure why, but he felt like it would be a good idea to enter it.
And that is what he did.
As he walked through the cave for a few seconds, he saw something overhead. On a piece of wood read "Trial room".
Pangu was both confused and surprised, but he simply assumed that it was created by another fiendcelestial before the cultivation reset.
Curious, Pangu continued walking until he found a cave room. It was circular, and in its center was an array.
Pangu blankly stared at the array for a moment before he began to look around with confusion.
He was once a void traversing realm cultivator, yet he could not recognize the array. That meant that it was likely above the void traversing realm.
That also meant that it was not something created by a fiendcelestial. The strongest cultivator before the reset had been Dave, and he had been at the 9th level of the void traversing realm.
Pangu was yet to see anything that could harm him or feel a sense of danger, so he simply looked around the cave room with confusion.
Other than the array, there was a big red button that said press me.
The entire situation was so weird and stupid that Pangu wasn't sure how to react. After a moment, he simply stepped in the center of the array and pressed the button.
He was a curious person.
After the array lit up, Pangu disappeared from the cave room.
He hadn't gone far. He had only been teleported to an isolated space created by Zhou Fan. It was connected to the same room that Pangu had pressed the button in, so, in a way, he had yet to leave the room.
As the light cleared and Pangu looked around, he saw that he was in a much smaller and square room. It was twice his height and around 90 feet from one wall to another.
On one wall were words. On another was a door.
Naturally, Pangu began to read the words.
After a moment, he nodded his head. The words had simply described what would happen next.
He would fight a beast equal to him in cultivation, get the option to go into another room with a more talented beast if he won, and repeat until he beat them all or lost.
Another thing it said was that, even if he died, he would not die.
That just meant that Zhou Fan would save him in the last nanosecond before his death.
The last thing it said was that, depending on how many rooms he cleared, he would be given a reward.
While Pangu found everything about his current situation incredulous, he was in a weird state of mind. In essence, he was currently going with the flow.
Alongside that, he had also begun to think of the possibilities of life beyond his planet. After cultivation was reset, it only seemed logical. At the very least, there was an extremely powerful being in control of everything.
Pangu stretched for a moment before walking through the first door. He still had his axe in hand.
As Pangu entered the room, he first observed it. The room was hundreds of feet tall and thousands of feet wide. With his current power, there would be no reason that such an amount of space wasn't enough.
Pangu also noticed a door on the opposite side. In front of that door was a green wolf.
The wolf was 7 feet tall and fairly long. It was obvious that it used wind Qi from both its color and the feeling it gave off.
Five seconds after Pangu entered the room, he heard a chime and the wolf seemed to exit its frozen state.
The moment it saw Pangu, it growled before charging aggressively.
It used some Wind Qi to increase its speed, but foundation establishment beasts were extremely limited with Qi use.
Pangu stood still as the wolf got closer and closer. As it reached striking distance, the wolf jumped towards Pangu with its mouth open and its claws pointed.
At that moment, Pangu sidestepped the beast and cut it in half as it flew past him.
Although his battle strength was fairly undeveloped, the wolf was one of the weakest foundation establishment beasts in the world.
With his talent and the body of a fiendcelestial, it was too easy.
A moment after the beast died, Pangu heard a click and the door on the other side of the room slightly cracked.
Pangu walked towards it calmly and pushed it open as he reached it.
He saw his opponent as soon as the door opened, but he walked a couple more steps forward before stopping. As he stopped, the door closed behind him.
In front of Pangu was a Lion beast. From its red fur, he could guess that it used Fire Qi.
Although the wolf and the lion were similar in size, Pangu knew the fight would not be as casual as before.
Wolves were considered powerful in a jungle, but lions were the king of it. Of course, wolves very rarely lived in forests, but the comparison worked.
A few seconds after the door closed, Pangu heard a chime and the lion opened its eyes.
As soon as it saw Pangu, it covered its body in Fire Qi and charged.
Unlike the wolf before, the Lion was fast and Pangu felt a threat from it. Before the lion could fully reach him, Pangu charged forward as well.
Seeing Pangu come closer, the lion lightly jumped in the air as he shot directly at Pangu. Just as they were about to collide, Pangu slid on the floor and turned his body. As he passed the lion, he raised his axe and dragged the axe through its side.
Due to the awkward position he had been in, he had not been able to put too much force into the axe as he dragged it.
Therefore, the lion was only severely injured, but not quite dead.
Before the lion could recover, Pangu jumped in the air and dug his axe in the lion's spine, killing it almost instantly.
Before entering the next room, Pangu took a deep breath. When the next door cracked open, Pangu walked through it.
As the door closed behind him, he saw the next room. It was different from the previous two.
The walls were nearly a mile apart, and the ceiling was a mile high.
As he saw his opponent, Pangu wasn't very surprised.
In front of him was a 15 foot tall eagle. Just by looking at it, Pangu could tell that its wingspan would be huge.
As Pangu heard the chime, the eagle's eyes burst open and it flew up. If Pangu was in the core formation realm, he would be a much better match up, but as of now, he could only rely on it swooping down and him jumping up.
As the bird reached the ceiling and circled around, it gathered lightning Qi on its beak.
It then looked down at Pangu and let out a squak.
As the squak was let out, a beam of lightning Qi shot at Pangu extremely quickly. With no intention to block the blow, Pangu jumped to the side in order to dodge the attack.
Although the attack was fast, it was also extremely far away.
Pangu had jumped a hundred feet to the side, but as the lightning beam hit the ground, it dispersed and coils of lightning Qi covered the ground.
Pangu had not expected the beam to turn into an area attack, and unluckily, he was barely within its range.
Zap!
Luckily, Pangu had minimized the damage by being so far away and his insides just seemed a little queasy.
The eagle shot a few more beams down, but Pangu was able to dodge them perfectly after the first one.
After the 5th shot, he realized that the eagle could simply continue doing the same thing all day.
In order to win, he needed to go on the offensive.
For the first time since he entered the trial ground, Pangu raised his axe with both hands and gathered Fiend Qi on it.
On the tip of the greenish black axe was what seemed like an unstable, gray current. After holding the position for a moment, Pangu slashed the axe down.
As he did so, the Fiend Qi shot towards the eagle.
Surprised by Pangu's sudden attack, the eagle only had time to redirect before its left leg was cut off.
The slash of Fiend Qi had simply been too fast and surprising.
Although it would have likely been able to dodge more attacks if it was uninjured, its balance was thrown off by its missing leg and the eagle was in pain.
