”Oh? What do you mean?” Ling Feng asked instinctively.

”The Sky-reaching Sword Tower, each level is guarded by different numbers of puppets that form various sword arrays. Defeat the puppets, and you can advance to the next level. Furthermore, there’s a reward of contribution points for breaking the highest record for the first time.”

Xiao Juanyun paused before continuing, ”For instance, if it’s your first attempt at the nine-level Sky-reaching Sword Tower, even if you only break through to the First Layer, you will be awarded one hundred contribution points.”

”Only a hundred?”

Ling Feng raised a hand to touch his nose; he had more than sixty million contribution points in his pocket, so naturally, he would not care about these hundred points.

”You think everyone is like you!”

Xiao Juanyun couldn’t help but roll his eyes, ”Besides, while the First Layer only rewards one hundred, the Second Layer offers a thousand! Then, at the Third Layer, it’s as high as ten thousand! And for the Fourth Layer, it’s a hundred thousand contribution points!”

”These multiples are quite impressive!”

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up, ”If you reach the Ninth Layer, wouldn’t it be, a hundred billion?”

”Too much wishful thinking, the maximum reward for the Sky-reaching Sword Tower is one billion contribution points, the Seventh to Ninth Floor are all one billion. Moreover, you must first pay a five million deposit, and if you successfully ascend the tower, you get a refund of one billion. If unsuccessful, those contribution points are essentially locked in the Sword Tower; unless you succeed, you won’t be able to retrieve them.”

”So, after the Seventh Floor, you must make a decision whether to wager these five million contribution points. If not wagered and you succeed in ascending the tower, you miss the opportunity to earn a billion contribution points since the reward is only given for the first time; there’s no second chance.”

Ling Feng couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile, ”I didn’t expect the Du Yue Heaven Palace, being such a big establishment, to be such a penny pincher!”

”Uh...” Xiao Juanyun smiled bitterly, Ling Feng’s perspective was certainly sharp.

”And what about the difficulty level of this Sky-reaching Sword Tower?” Ling Feng continued to ask.

”The first few layers are manageable, my level can only reach the Fourth Layer.” Xiao Juanyun sighed softly and said slowly, ”Sword Masters like Wei Xuantong, among the Ten Strongest, only managed the Sixth Level. Those reaching the eighth level must be at the Saint Level. So basically, those who can reach beyond the Seventh Layer can afford the five million contribution points.”

”It’s that extreme?”

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment; although Wei Xuantong was defeated by him, he was after all a strong figure mastering the Sword Domain.

A Sword Domain expert can only reach the Sixth Level, indicating the Sky-reaching Sword Tower is indeed challenging.

He was a bit curious about which level he could reach.

”Let’s go, I’m quite eager to see this Sky-reaching Sword Tower.” Ling Feng’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

”Hmm, for you, even the Sixth Level should be a safe bet.”

Xiao Juanyun smiled and didn’t refuse, directly leading Ling Feng to the location of the Sky-reaching Sword Tower.

...

The area of the Sky-reaching Sword Tower.

This place is a land of towers, with about a hundred tall towers scattered around. This is the so-called Sky-reaching Sword Tower.

Under each high tower stand a large group of disciples, observing around the Sky-reaching Sword Tower, pointing and commenting in various ways.

Xiao Juanyun first escorted Ling Feng to the registration area. Each time someone registers to ascend the Sky-reaching Sword Tower, they must first pay three thousand contribution points, which, for ordinary students, is not a small amount either.

Therefore, while there are many Martial Artists observing, not many actually have the capability or are willing to spend money to register.

”Brother Ling, the First Layer of this Sky-reaching Sword Tower features two sword puppets, one Yin and one Yang, known as the Yin Yang Sword Formation.”

”The Second Layer is the Three Talents Sword Formation, followed by the Four Symbols Sword Formation... With each level up, the number of puppets increases, and the complexity of the sword formations rises, with difficulty doubling as well. But there’s no need to hold back; fight with all your strength. Inside the Sky-reaching Sword Tower, even if you are killed by those sword formation puppets, at most you will sustain external injuries and will be transported out.”

Xiao Juanyun was saying when the front of a Sky-reaching Sword Tower flashed with a ghostly light, and a figure was thrown out heavily, evidently indicating that this person had failed to ascend the tower.

”Fourth Layer, haha, the result is similar to mine.”

Xiao Juanyun grinned with a smile.

Ling Feng squinted his eyes; inside the Sky-reaching Sword Tower, each layer was embedded with a gem-like crystal, and the layer that the challenger entered would light up, displaying the current accomplishment of the tower climber.

At that moment, around a Sky-reaching Sword Tower to the right, someone exclaimed in surprise, ”Wow, Sixth Level! Someone actually reached the Sixth Level!”

”On par with the Sword Dao Accomplishment of the Ten Strongest!”

Even Wei Xuantong, one of the Ten Strongest, only reached the Sixth Level. This result was indeed quite sensational.

Of course, entering the Sixth Level does not imply having passed the Sixth Level. Only when the Seventh Level’s crystal lights up does it prove that the Sixth Level has been overcome.

Ling Feng squinted his eyes, becoming increasingly interested in the Sky-reaching Sword Tower.
