Ning Cheng had checked already; the first challenge was merely about Star Element resistance and simple calculations. For him, the calculation was too elementary. By using the patterns on the floor of the grand hall, and then determining the correct foothold through permutations and combinations, one would face a strong resistance from the Star Element when setting foot on it. However, this level of resistance wouldn't pose a problem even for an ordinary Contemplation Domain cultivator, let alone him.
Upon reaching the walls of the grand hall, there was another set of calculations to perform. Once the figures were etched onto the walls, the doors to the first challenge would open, leading to the second challenge.
This first challenge was too simple. Ning Cheng estimated that very few would fail to pass it, so he didn't bother to offer help.
Many cultivators were transported out of the first challenge of the ninth-tier grand array and landed back on the Starting Point Plaza.
