Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, Li Shuang arrived at the Tower of Heaven.
Li Shuang was about to mentally ask Su Mu for relevant information.
She hadn't even had a chance to ask.
Someone next to her, impatient, already spoke up: "This is your first time, so you probably don't know about the Tower of Heaven, right? This Tower of Heaven has ninety-nine floors. Currently, the highest record in Myriad Law City is 90 floors. As for the realms beyond the 90th floor, no one has ever reached them. This tower doesn't restrict any methods; whether it's magic treasures or secret techniques, anything can be used. The Tower of Heaven only looks at the final result. Victory allows you to enter the next floor; defeat will transport you out."
A ninety-nine-story Tower of Heaven.
Li Shuang looked up at the towering, cloud-piercing Tower of Heaven, a hint of awe flashing in her eyes.
"The highest record is only 90 floors," Li Shuang couldn't help but ask, "Then who built this tower?"
"That is indeed an unsolved mystery. The Tower of Heaven, the Mountain of Grand Dao, the Sea of Silence. These three secret realms have never been fully cleared by anyone. No one knows how these three secret realms appeared; it seems they have existed since the moment Myriad Law City came into being," someone said.
"Myriad Law City itself is a miracle," another person added. "Everyone speculates that this is probably not a creation of mortals, but a gift from immortals."
"There's no other way to explain it besides a gift from immortals."
The crowd chatted casually.
Li Shuang listened silently, a strange feeling stirring in her heart.
Immortals...
A thousand years ago, the Southern Lan Continent had a few ascendants, and the founding patriarch of the Sword Sect also ascended to the Upper Realm.
In the past thousand years, for some reason, no ascendants have appeared on the Southern Lan Continent.
She wondered what the situation was like on the Central Continent.
Now that she was in Myriad Law City, she might find an opportunity to inquire about this.
"Li?" The guard of the Tower of Heaven looked at Li Shuang with a hint of scrutiny. "Are you here to challenge the tower?"
"Yes," Li Shuang replied directly.
"Just enter the tower," the guard said.
Li Shuang nodded and, without hesitation, walked directly into the tower.
The crowd outside the tower did not disperse, still waiting curiously at the entrance.
"Even I can't see the scenes inside the Tower of Heaven. You waiting here won't see anything," the guard said.
One person chuckled: "We know. For privacy, among the three secret realms, only the details of challenging the Tower of Heaven are completely confidential. Aren't we just purely curious?"
The Sea of Silence tests spiritual power.
The Mountain of Grand Dao tests comprehension of the Grand Dao.
And this Tower of Heaven tests only one thing: true strength!
Some people might lack spiritual power, but their comprehension of the Grand Dao is profound.
Some people might lack comprehension of the Grand Dao, but they have astonishing innate talent and a powerful physique.
Some people might lack both spiritual power and comprehension of the Grand Dao, but they possess astonishing magic treasures!
Some people might lack all of these, but they are incredibly wealthy and use various talismans to force their way through!
The Tower of Heaven doesn't look at the process, only the result. As long as you can win, it counts as clearing the level!
Some might say that clearing levels with external items like magic treasures and talismans doesn't count as true strength.
However.
In a real life-or-death battle, no one would be foolish enough not to use powerful magic treasures or talismans; these things are inherently part of one's strength.
Therefore.
The ranking in the Tower of Heaven largely represents a ranking of true strength.
As soon as Li Shuang entered the Tower of Heaven, she was first informed that the scenes inside the tower would be completely hidden, and only the final result would be announced to the public, without involving specific details.
Li Shuang nodded thoughtfully.
Outside the Sea of Silence, she had also seen Su Yun's challenge. However, when challenging the Tower of Heaven, everyone would use their powerful magic treasures and even reveal many trump cards.
Most people are unwilling to expose their trump cards to others. This led to the unique rule of the Tower of Heaven.
Thus, Li Shuang completely cast aside her reservations. To put it another way, besides the secret of the Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace, there was nothing else about her that needed to be kept hidden.
In this world.
Only by demonstrating strength can one gain more attention and more resources.
The simplest truth: previously in the Sword Sect, if she hadn't shown enough value, how could the sect have opened the Heart-Questioning Platform for her, and how could the Sect Master have punished those from Lingxu Peak for her?
Perhaps, this isn't fair.
But in this world, when has there ever been true fairness?
If she wants something, she has to fight for it, snatch it, and display her capabilities!
It was like this in the Sword Sect.
It was like this on the Southern Lan Continent.
And it is the same in Myriad Law City.
The points in Myriad Law City are not just for ranking!
"Let's go, let's challenge this Tower of Heaven together." The Abyssal Black Sword silently appeared in Li Shuang's hand, and Li Li's figure emerged above the Abyssal Black, her face showing an eagerness identical to Li Shuang's.
The moment Li Shuang gripped the sword, a third-tier demonic beast appeared in the arena.
Li Shuang's pupils slightly contracted.
The first floor of the Tower of Heaven was a third-tier demonic beast!
This was already equivalent to a cultivator in the Golden Core stage.
She had just completed a mission, and in the outside world, a Golden Core stage cultivator was already a rare and powerful individual.
Within the sect, a Golden Core stage cultivator was barely considered an elite disciple.
But here.
The Golden Core stage merely met the standard for the first floor of the Tower of Heaven!
The vast difference between them was like heaven and earth.
"A third-tier demonic beast..." Li Shuang murmured, drawing her sword and charging forward.
Outside the Tower of Heaven.
Although the details of the challenge couldn't be seen, the challenge monument at the entrance showed who was currently challenging.
Currently, over a hundred people were challenging the Tower of Heaven.
Li Shuang was at the very bottom of the list.
Current floors cleared: 0.
However.
Just as everyone found Li Shuang's name, the number next to it flickered the next moment.
Floors cleared: 1.
"This Li, her own strength is only at the Golden Core stage, right? Clearing the first level isn't surprising, but her speed is a bit fast."
"Only the first three floors might be fast. By the fourth floor, a super divine beast of the Golden Core stage will appear! I guess she might stop at the fourth floor."
"That's about right. Li probably only has some talent in comprehending the Grand Dao, but her cultivation is too low, and her innate talent shouldn't be high either. The fourth floor will be an insurmountable chasm for her."
Everyone had just finished speaking a few sentences.
The number of cleared floors had already jumped twice consecutively, directly reaching the fourth floor.
The opponent on this level was a super demonic beast of the Golden Core stage.
Li Shuang looked at the demonic beast opposite her with a slight smile; the Golden Core stage guardian beast she faced was none other than the Golden-Winged Eagle she had encountered before.
Only this time.
Her strength had risen to the Golden Core stage, and the Golden-Winged Eagle's strength had also reached the Golden Core stage.
Previously.
She had to exhaust all means, first using Ye Zhaozhao's talisman power, then teaming up with Yan Fan to attack, barely managing to kill the Golden-Winged Eagle.
This time.
Facing the Golden-Winged Eagle, she was alone.
