What made people most speechless was that according to what the Great Empress mystic realm said, this was not even a trial. This was just a passage from the first trial to the second trial.
A passage itself was already so difficult!

It was very difficult to obtain even a single Empyrean Mark in the Great Empress mystic realm!
The thoughts they had before were too naive.
