In the midst of everyone’s conversation, the White Jade Boat landed, and Lu Yi and his two companions disembarked.

The trio walked towards the Trial Tower, passing disciples who greeted Liu Ningshuang with respect.

“Senior Sister Liu.”

“Good day, Senior Sister Liu.”

“…”

Liu Ningshuang’s fair face remained cool and detached; she did not respond. However, the many disciples continued to greet her enthusiastically, and whenever she turned her gaze towards one, that disciple’s face would light up with excitement.

Lu Yi was somewhat speechless; these people were like devoted fans.

Lu Yi no longer paid attention to those around him, but instead turned his gaze to the four Trial Lists.

He saw a few familiar names on the lists.

His second senior sister, Donggong Ming Yue, was the number one on the Qi Cultivation Trial List.

The twelfth place on the Golden Core Trial List was taken by Xie Tianming, whom he had met before.

As for Liu Ningshuang, she was now the top of the Nascent Soul Trial List.

Among the direct disciples, only a minority had reached the Nascent Soul Cultivation, and this minority comprised extremely powerful talents. Unfortunately, all were overshadowed by Liu Ningshuang.

The number of floors Liu Ningshuang had ascended in the Trial Tower had reached an astonishing thirty-fourth floor. From Dugu Fang’s explanation, Lu Yi understood that every ten floors of the Trial Tower correspond to a Great Realm, and each floor, a lesser one.

The first floor corresponds with the Qi Cultivation First Layer, while the thirty-fourth floor is equivalent to the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer’s Cultivation.

This meant that Liu Ningshuang’s combat strength had already reached the Nascent Soul Fourth Layer!

And that was not even her limit, for the Trial Tower was only a test, not a battle for life and death. It was common for disciples not to reveal their full strength when challenging the floors, especially the talented ones.

Normally, reaching the thirty-fourth floor of the Trial Tower meant that, if Liu Ningshuang fought desperately, her strength would definitely surpass that of a fourth layer Nascent Soul.

Lu Yi was astonished.

Senior Sister Ningshuang broke through to the Golden Core Realm at the age of nineteen, and it hadn’t been many years since then. She had already reached such a terrifying level of power. Was this what they called a freak of nature?

Even Donggong Ming Yue, who was at the Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, had reached the thirteenth floor, which meant that Donggong Ming Yue, in her normal state, was already capable of contending with a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Third Layer.

This was the power of an Innate Spiritual Body.

The three of them made their way to the entrance of the Trial Tower.

Outside the door sat an old man with white-flecked hair in a meditative pose. Upon seeing Liu Ningshuang, he slowly opened his eyes, and a gentle smile graced his aged face, “Ningshuang girl, and Ming Yue girl, you’re here.”

Liu Ningshuang’s pretty face showed a touch of respect as she greeted, “Elder Xuan.”

Donggong Ming Yue also respectfully said, “Greetings, Elder Xuan.”

Lu Yi glanced at the old man and followed his senior sisters’ lead with a greeting, “Greetings, Elder Xuan.”

Elder Xuan looked at Lu Yi, squinted his eyes, and said with a kind smile, “Young fellow, you must be Lu Yi? Elder Ming has told me about you; you’ve grasped sword intent even at the Qi Cultivation Realm, quite impressive. Keep up the good work.”

Lu Yi was startled; he hadn’t anticipated that Elder Xuan and Elder Ming were acquainted.

He quickly replied, “Disciple will certainly strive in his cultivation.”

Liu Ningshuang, standing to the side, observed Lu Yi with some surprise. She didn’t even know that Lu Yi had already mastered sword intent.

To have mastered sword intent at such a young age… truly impressive, Junior Brother Lu, she thought to herself.

Elder Xuan nodded with a smile, “Perfect timing. You’ve arrived just in time; there are a few trial spots inside the tower available now, so you can go in first.”

The other disciples in line heard this but harbored no dissatisfaction.

Instead, all the disciples looked at the trio with faces full of anticipation.

“I wonder if Senior Sister Liu can reach the 35th floor this time?”

“I heard that Senior Sister Liu had an epiphany recently and went into seclusion for a while. Her strength must have improved again. It’s not impossible for her to reach the 35th floor.”

“Can Junior Sister Donggong go even higher this time?”

“Junior Sister Donggong’s strength must be nearing the limit of the Qi Cultivation Realm, right? I really don’t understand why she hasn’t broken through yet.”

“Yeah, it’s hard to comprehend. With Junior Sister Donggong’s talent, she should be able to easily break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. I don’t get why she’s been suppressing her cultivation.”

“Maybe that’s just how geniuses think?”

Some were also paying attention to Lu Yi.

“I wonder how many floors Junior Brother Lu can reach?”

“With the Ling Luo Peak Master taking notice of him, excelling beyond his level is definitely not a problem. However, his strength seems to be around the Qi Cultivation Seventh or Eighth Layer? He probably can’t defeat Foundation Establishment cultivators, right? I guess he’ll make it to the 11th floor at most.”

“That’s not necessarily true. I heard that during the last Outer Sect competition, in the final battle, Junior Brother Lu already had the combat power of someone at the Foundation Establishment Realm. He still had energy to spare, so maybe he could defeat a disciple at the Foundation Establishment First Layer?”

“Hiss… Is he that strong?!”

“…”

In one corner of the square, Bai Yulong, Jiang Fan, Tie Man, and other Outer Sect brothers were standing together, watching Lu Yi under the gaze of the crowd, their expressions also showed curiosity.

Waving his folding fan, Bai Yulong chuckled and said, “What do you think, how many floors can Junior Brother Lu reach?”

Scratching his head, Tie Man grinned and said, “With Junior Brother Lu’s strength, reaching the 11th floor is definitely no problem.”

Jiang Fan, with his hands behind his head, smiled lazily, “When I fought Junior Brother Lu before, he still held back. With his strength, he has a chance to reach the 12th floor, maybe.”

Lin Wan’er said with conviction, “I believe Junior Brother Lu can definitely reach the 12th floor!”

Bai Yulong, looking at Lu Yi, spoke, “Junior Brother Lu, as a registered disciple of the Ling Luo Peak Master, has to perform well in the Trial Tower. If he doesn’t meet expectations, it might invite criticism. I hope he does well.”

Jiang Fan’s expression turned serious as he nodded, “With Junior Brother Lu’s talent and strength, he will naturally make those people acknowledge him with his actions.”

As everyone was talking, Lu Yi and the other two handed over their Inner Sect Disciple Tokens to Elder Xuan; then Elder Xuan swiped the tokens on the Trial Tower’s restriction, causing a stream of light to flash across the tokens.

Elder Xuan handed back the tokens to Lu Yi and the other two, smiling, “All set, go on in. Don’t worry about your life, if you fail the challenge, you’ll be sent out. But measure your strength, to avoid serious injury that could impact your cultivation.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Elder,” Lu Yi nodded.

He knew that Elder Xuan’s words were meant for him, as Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue had already entered the Trial Tower countless times, and he was the only one entering for the first time.

“Go ahead,” Elder Xuan nodded and opened the door to the Trial Tower.

Lu Yi exchanged glances with the others, then they all entered the Trial Tower.

Upon entering the Trial Tower, Lu Yi noticed his vision change. He found himself in a spacious room measuring about a hundred meters across, made entirely of gray-white stone slabs, with no doors, not even an exit.

And Liu Ningshuang and Donggong Ming Yue, who had entered with him, were nowhere to be seen next to him.

Lu Yi was somewhat astonished, “Is this inside the Trial Tower?!”

It was like he had been placed in a completely different space, wasn’t it?

This Trial Tower is powerful!

Lu Yi had heard from Dugu Fang that this Trial Tower was a powerful cultivation treasure obtained from the ruins. It seemed that the treasure was really no ordinary one, involving space itself.

It must be a Spiritual Artifact-level treasure, right?

I wonder if it could reach the level of an Immortal Artifact? An Immortal Artifact should be impossible; if it were really an Immortal Artifact, the White Cloud Sect would probably be unable to defend it.

Lu Yi shook his head, no longer dwelling on the thought, the exciting moment to issue his task had arrived.

If this Trial Tower could continuously issue tasks, then he could farm a lot of resources. At the very least, he wouldn’t lack resources in the short term.

Lu Yi silently said to himself, “I want to reach the second floor of the Trial Tower.”
