Chapter 44: Sword Trial Tower

She still remembered that she have to prepared for Qi Training Competition, and she want to hone her swordsmanship in Sword Trial Tower. 

Before going, she remembered she needs to buy refining material to refines her natal Immortal Lotus Seed.

Yun Shang went to many stall to buy various refining material and come back to the sect.

The Sword Testing Tower is just as its name suggests, surrounded by sword energy, which makes people shudder. The top of the tower is like a lid, the tower brake is like a bottle, and the color is like iron, which is unique. For tens of thousands of years, it has been like a pillar supporting the sky, reaching straight into the sky.

The entire tower is tall, ancient and majestic. The spire stands tall in the heavy clouds, appearing and disappearing, out of reach, full of solemn and majestic momentum.

There were not many people coming and going in front of the Sword Trial Tower. Only a few people came in and out. They were all in a hurry and no one stayed. 

The pagoda has seven floors, and each floor has different levels of difficulty. The pagoda is equipped with a space formation, and each monk will have his own space when entering the pagoda. The pagoda will arrange levels according to the monk's cultivation, strength and other factors.

The first level is the easiest, and those who can reach the seventh level are extremely rare in the past ten thousand years. It is not only a manifestation of strong strength, but also a comprehensive manifestation of talent, perseverance, endurance, and character.

Yun Shang then go out of Yunhai Peak in her own appearance. Since the conversation with Great Master, she is not too adverse having connection with others and more relaxed.

Then she went to the registration office to hand over her identity jade card to the deacon disciple for registration. The deacon disciple stammered excitedly when he saw her identity: "Uncle master... you..."

"Please help me register! Thank you!" Yun Shang looked at the deacon disciple and felt a little confused.

It's because she as Qingmu Daojun's mysterious disciple first time to go out of the Yunhai Peak, of course it surprised the deacon disciple.

"Okay, Uncle master Yun can enter the tower now." The deacon disciple came to his senses and handed the registered jade card to Yun Shang.

"Thank you!" After saying this, Yun Shang entered the Sword Test Tower.

Yun Shang input her spiritual power into the identity jade token and used her spiritual sense into the pagoda to activate the mechanism.

"Buzz..." The huge mechanism door of the pagoda slowly opened.

After entering the tower, the door automatically closed. There were only a few spiritual beads flashing in the tower, and it was dim.

Before she was ready, a tall and solid sword-testing stone weighing 300 kilograms, equivalent to the strength of the late stage of Qi training, appeared in front of Yun Shang, she thought to herself: "Could it be that the first level is to test the power of sword energy?"

Yun Shang's Hanyue Sword made a move, without using sword energy, using the most basic sword technique to stab the sword test stone. With just one move, "boom" the sword test stone broke into multiple pieces.

Before she could stop, two identical sword-testing stones appeared in front of Yun Shang. She continued to use basic sword techniques, smashing the two sword-testing stones into pieces with just two moves.

Three more came, four more, more than ten more... horizontal stabbing sword, upward stabbing sword, low stabbing sword, backward swinging sword, reverse sword, all kinds of basic sword summons were used by Yun Shang one by one.

After "boom" shattering more than a hundred Qi training period sword-testing stones, a peak of qi training stage sword-testing stone weighing more than 500 kilograms and three feet tall appeared.

Yun Shang did not stop, she stood up and used the Hanyue Sword. She used the basic sword summons again, twisting the sword, holding the sword, picking the sword, pointing the sword, breaking the sword, and cutting the sword.

In the dim space on the first floor of the Sword Test Tower, her graceful figure used the most primitive sword summons and physical strength to fiercely chop the tall and hard sword test stones in the room.

Inside the Sword Test Tower, Yun Shang was struggling. Her strength was exhausted, and she was panting. "Huh!" She finally solved the sword test stone for the peak stage of qi training!

After a short rest, another sword test stone weighing a 800 pounds, equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building, appeared in front of her.

Is it over yet? Yun Shang was a little speechless, and picked up the Hanyue Sword again to continue. But imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel. This sword-testing stone can't be used with basic sword summons.

Yun Shang used all her basic sword skills, but she only cut a few holes on the sword-testing stone. "It looks like I need to use my spiritual energy," Yun Shang thought.

Fire and gold spiritual energy were input into the Hanyue Sword, and was launched. Half of it was chopped off, and then the fire and golden sword energy was released. A flash of fire and gold energy "boom" broke the foundation-building initial stage sword test stone into slag.

The first one was broken, and two more in the initial stage of foundation building came. This time they not only stopped moving, but also dodged very well.

Oh my god, is this the rhythm of becoming a spirit? A motionless sword-testing stone of the initial stage of foundation building strength has used two sword moves, so won't two more be able to dodge?

I chopped, I cut, I stabbed, slowly Yun Shang chopped more than thirty sword-testing stones. At this time, her spiritual power and physical strength were exhausted, so she immediately sat down to practice the skills to replenish her spiritual power.

Furthermore, as long as Yun Shang stands up, more and more initial-stage foundation-building sword-testing stones will fall towards her.

"Attributeless Swordsmanship" imbued by kind of fire and gold sword energy and "Traceless Step" were running at the same time. Yun Shang was dealing with numerous sword-testing stones while practicing her skills and meditating to replenish her spiritual power.

In the space of the Sword Trial Tower, red and gold sword shadows flew in a brilliant and splendid manner. A light figure shuttled between the huge high stones, and the rubble in the room flew and the dust was flying.

After a great effort and resting for more than a dozen times to replenish her spiritual energy, Yun Shang finally smashed more than a hundred initial-stage foundation building sword test stones.

At this time, Yun Shang was lying on the ground with her back, her whole body was sore and weak, and her mouth was dry.

Only then did she understand: the strength of the initial-stage foundation building cultivator was so strong. She originally thought that it was normal for a sword cultivator to challenge a higher level. However, she did not expect that one initial-stage foundation building cultivator might be easy to deal with, but many of them together could be fatal.

She thought: This is only because the sword-testing stone can only defend but not attack. If the sword-testing stone is a real cultivator or monster, it will attack me together.

Wouldn't that mean she would be in trouble? Yun Shang shuddered as she imagined herself being beaten to death.

She immediately sat up cross-legged, practiced the exercises, and slowly recuperated. She didn't know what kind of test would come next, so her spiritual and physical strength were the top priorities and she had to recover first.

After her spiritual power was restored, Yun Shang did not stop at all. She immediately stood up and prepared for the next round of battle.

"Dong Dong Dong." A humanoid sword-testing stone puppet with middle foundation building cultivation, two feet tall and holding a stone sword, walked towards Yun Shang with heavy steps.

"This?" Looking at this strong opponent, Yun Shang felt a little dizzy.

She is only in the twelfth stage of foundation building, and she have already used up all my energy to smash those sword-testing stones in the initial stage of foundation building. That is when the sword-testing stones are not attacking.

But what was happening? Looking at the stone sword in the sword-testing stone's hand, was it going to attack her?
