Five hundred years ago, he, reincarnated as the ninth Yuan Spirit, had also entered the Qingliao Tower. This tower was indeed perilous to the extreme, yet it was precisely its dangers that could unleash one’s potential.

On either side of the valley stood rows of pavilions. As Ye Wushuang arrived at the valley entrance, an elderly man approached her.

“Name?” he asked.

“Ye Wushuang,” she replied.

Upon hearing her name, the old man scanned through the jade slip in his hand and said, “Ye Wushuang, for killing within the academy, you are sentenced to ten days in the Qingliao Tower… Huh?” He paused for a moment, slightly puzzled. He recalled that the message he had received a few days ago stated that Ye Wushuang was to be punished with a month in the tower. Why had it changed to ten days today?

However, these matters were none of his concern. His only duty was to guard the Qingliao Tower.

“Follow me,” he said in a flat, emotionless voice.

At the base of the towering structure, a massive bronze gate, dozens of zhangs high, exuded an air of ancient沧桑 and time-worn antiquity.

“Enter here, and you may only leave after ten days,” the old man said indifferently. “If you cannot endure it, you still cannot come out. If you die inside, that is your own fault. The sole purpose of entering the Qingliao Tower is… to survive.”

“Yes,” Ye Wushuang replied.

The old man opened the tower door, and Ye Wushuang stepped inside without hesitation.

In reality, for the tower guard, whether it was disciples or elders being punished in the Qingliao Tower, they were all considered to have committed serious offenses. Naturally, the tower guard had no enthusiasm for them.

Inside the Qingliao Tower, the surroundings were dimly lit. The nine-story tower, towering nine hundred zhangs high, with each level spanning a hundred zhangs, had an expansive space that was shrouded in darkness, giving off an eerie, hellish atmosphere.

As soon as Ye Wushuang stepped into the tower, she felt a cold, chilling aura wash over her like a gust of icy wind. Almost instantaneously, she raised her sword and delivered a swift strike.

Clang…

The sound of a collision echoed, and Ye Wushuang was forced to retreat a few steps. At that very moment, a massive, formidable figure, standing a full zhang tall, lunged at her again.

“Puppet!” Ye Wushuang’s mind remained calm as she swung her sword.

“Cangdong Sword Technique.”

The strike was like an earthquake, unleashing a fierce sword energy that erupted outward.

Boom!!!

A deep, explosive sound rang out, and the puppet was shattered by Ye Wushuang’s sword strike.

However, the commotion had clearly piqued the interest of other unknown entities within the first level, and they began to approach…

The battle commenced immediately.

The Qingliao Tower had nine levels, each with its own unique dangers. The first level was primarily filled with puppets, numerous deadly formations, traps, and occasionally, spiritual beasts that the academy would release into the tower.

This place was a perilous and complex hellish training ground.

In reality, if a punished disciple only stayed for a day or two, they could endure it. But if they had to stay for several days or even a month, the constant, imminent dangers and the suffocating sense of oppression would drive a person mad. And this was just the first level!

As for the second and third levels, they contained even more mind-numbing and soul-crushing trials…

In the past, Ye Wushuang had also been here. However, this hellish training ground, which was meant for punishment, had an extremely beneficial effect on her. Ordinary life-and-death crises could no longer push her to her limits, but the Qingliao Tower could!

When Ye Wushuang entered the Qingliao Tower, Bu Chenfeng and Shangguan Rong arrived again at the valley where Li Changqing was.

“Uncle Changqing…” Bu Chenfeng began.

“Has the person been sent in?” Li Changqing asked.

“Yes,” was the reply.

“Good,” Li Changqing said with a smile.

Shangguan Rong couldn’t help but say, “Uncle Changqing, didn’t you want him to deal with the geniuses of the Five Great Clans? Spending ten days in the Qingliao Tower, won’t this guy… go mad?”

In the Qingyun Academy, many disciples who had committed offenses would rather be expelled than face punishment in the Qingliao Tower. It was simply too terrifying!

“Mad?” Li Changqing scoffed. “Even if you two were locked in there for a year or two, you might go mad, but he wouldn’t!”

Hearing this, the two of them were taken aback.
