Over the course of this year, Wang Liyao has already familiarized herself with the various facility locations inside Zhenze Sword Palace, as well as the conditions and difficulties of the Heavenly Sword Tower trials.

Among the many Dao Sects of the Immortal Alliance, compared to the actual cultivation of young disciples, more emphasis is placed on the disciples’ bloodline potential.

Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Tower focuses more on testing the disciples’ insight into Sword Dao and their bloodline potential, among other things.

Considering the varying cultivation strengths of the disciples challenging the tower, the sword tower automatically matches the strength of the Sword Spirit to the age of the tester, making the difficulty consistent regardless of the disciple’s cultivation levels.

After entering the sword tower, each level passed results in a corresponding reward; the more levels passed, the more rewards one receives. Moreover, the higher the level, the more generous the rewards become. Especially above the tenth level, the rewards are on a completely different scale than the previous ones.

Additionally, the Heavenly Sword Tower does not limit the number of trials. A disciple who has already completed a run can still enter the Heavenly Sword Tower for another attempt. However, the next time they enter, they don’t start from the first level again; instead, they begin from the level where they last failed.

The reward for each level in the sword tower can only be claimed once per person.

Therefore, unless one’s strength has significantly improved and one is confident about passing the next level, entering the sword tower again is not very meaningful.

For this reason, there’s not much difference whether one challenges the sword tower early or late; there’s no difference between going in first or going in later.

Watching for a moment, Wang Liyao was about to randomly select someone to explore first, when Wang Huanjian stepped forward, saluted Wang Liyao and the others, and volunteered, "Dear Old Ancestors and elders, I am young and weak. I apply to explore the path first."

After a brief moment of consideration, Wang Liyao nodded, "Huan Jian, you may go ahead and try, but be careful."

Wang Huanjian saluted again, "Thank you for your concern, Liyao Old Ancestor. If I cannot win, I will surrender immediately."

With that, he stepped towards the entrance of the sword tower and declared loudly, "Sword Palace Artifact Spirit, I wish to challenge the Heavenly Sword Tower."

"Formal disciple of the Sword Palace, Wang Huanjian, as you wish."

The voice of the Sword Palace Artifact Spirit responded.

The next moment, the array inscriptions on the surface of the sword tower lit up, and the brilliance of the formation spread slowly. The heavy stone door of the sword tower also opened slowly, revealing the pitch-black entrance.

Without hesitation, Wang Huanjian entered the first level of the sword tower, holding his sword.

The inner space of the first level was vast, with intricate and mysterious runes covering the ceiling and surrounding walls.

In the center of the space, a Sword Spirit phantom slowly formed, with a phantom sword floating beside it.

Wang Huanjian scanned with his God Sense, and immediately was pleased.

Is this opponent a bit too weak?

No matter how he looked at it, this Sword Spirit seemed to have only the cultivation base of Level Six or Seven of the Purple Abode Realm, and its bloodline awakening level seemed quite average, only reaching the Sixth Level Bloodline.

But it’s no wonder, with Wang Huanjian’s exceptional talent and bloodline talent reaching Grade B of the Son of Heaven, his cultivation speed was extremely rapid, achieving Level Eight of the Divine Power Territory at a young age, with a bloodline awakening level of approximately the Ninth Level. However, in actual age, he was merely three hundred and eighty years old, which is quite young among the challengers.

Clearly, the first level of this Heavenly Sword Tower was designed as an assessment hurdle for elite disciples, and naturally posed a low difficulty for him.

Three breaths!

In just three breaths of time, Wang Huanjian had cleared the first level.

"Congratulations, formal disciple of the Sword Palace, Wang Huanjian. You have passed the first level trial of the Heavenly Sword Tower, earned 100 points, acquired a qualification for a Sword Scripture exchange, and your title has been promoted to a [Sword Palace Elite Disciple]." The voice of the Sword Palace Artifact Spirit echoed in the first level.

[Sword Scripture], also a Codex for sword cultivators!

However, the sword tower doesn’t directly reward a complete Codex but only grants an exchange qualification.

Everyone was already informed that exchanges within the Sword Palace were done using points; each Sword Palace point could be exchanged for one top quality Spirit Stone, or equivalent in value to Dan medicine, materials, etc. The points are recorded by the Sword Palace Artifact Spirit, and Sword Palace disciples can check them at any time.

points are worth approximately one Immortal Spirit Stone.

And the exchange for one Sword Scripture costs 100 points.

In other words, with these 100 points, Wang Huanjian could directly go to the Sword Palace Treasury to exchange for a Sword Scripture!

To realize that this was only the first level.

It must be said, the rewards from the Heavenly Sword Tower are indeed extravagant.

After a slight pause to allow Wang Huanjian time to process the information, the Artifact Spirit’s voice continued with the question, "Would you like to commence the second level trial immediately?"

"Open the next level." Wang Huanjian was not after the Codex, so naturally continued to the next level.

This level’s Sword Spirit was slightly stronger, but still posed little challenge for him, and he passed with ease once again.

This time, Wang Huanjian gained 200 points, equivalent to approximately two Immortal Spirit Stones.

This indicates that the sects in the Immortal Alliance Era were indeed quite affluent, even the Sword Palace in the remote Zhenze Area had such abundant resources.

Even after the Shenwu Sacred Alliance has developed for over five hundred years and reached a higher overall level, resources like Immortal Spirit Stones are still the top-limit for ordinary families.

For the third level, the difficulty suddenly increased significantly, with the next Sword Spirit reaching Level One of the Divine Power Territory, and its bloodline awakening level also soaring to the Eighth Level! Clearly, it’s already a Divine Power Territory Sword Spirit at the level of an Unparalleled Heavenly Child.
