And the Sword Tower, is another vast world, this towering tower has a hundred floors, each one possessing infinite space as if it were an independent world itself. Entering the Sword Tower, Li Mu can compete in sword skills with the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, fighting in real battles, challenging the pinnacle of the Sword Dao.

Within the Sword Tower, mysterious sword patterns will appear on the sword competitors, which can protect each competitor entering inside. Once the sword pattern is breached, it will transmit out of the Sword Tower, thus ensuring the safety of the competitors.

On each floor of the Sword Tower, there is a defender, every one of them is an elite disciple, core disciple, or even a Sect Elder of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

To enter the Sword Tower for Sword Dao competition, a certain amount of Sect Contribution is required. However, for Li Mu, this is not an issue. Moreover, each floor of the Sword Tower has a defender and succeeding in defense can earn a substantial Sect Contribution reward, making it a place that easily stirs up the disciples’ competitiveness.

Over three years, the hundred-story Sword Tower has become one of Li Mu’s favorite places. Here, he can compete and engage in real combat with the elite Sword Cultivators of the entire Profound Celestial Sword Sect, continuously improving his sword skills and battle heart realm.

Today, Li Mu once again uses Sword Control to arrive at Celestial Sword Peak. He wears a cyan Sword Robe, his attire fluttering, appearing elegant yet restrained. He did not choose to wear the noticeable Elder’s Robe but opted for a low profile because he knows that within the Sword Tower, strength is the true way to speak.

Li Mu quietly landed amidst the crowd in the Sword Tower plaza, looking around. The Sword Tower plaza was bustling, filled with elite disciples from the various peaks of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect gathered as one, either in groups of three or five or alone, all eyes were focused in the same direction.

Li Mu raised his head to gaze up at the towering giant Sword Tower, his eyes flickering with anticipation. This was the Sword Tower, the Holy Land in the hearts of the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect; every time they looked up at it, they could feel the heaven-piercing Sword Intent, stirring their spirits.

This time, coming to the Celestial Sword Peak to climb the Sword Tower, Li Mu already had a plan in mind, preparing to challenge the lord of a certain floor and hold the defense for a while to earn some Sect Contribution.

This is not only a test of his own strength but also a training of his sword skills, Li Mu is eager to engage in plenty of real combat with the disciples of various peaks in the Sword Tower to enhance his understanding of the Sword Dao.

Three years have passed, and Li Mu has vaguely touched the threshold of comprehending the Sword Heart, yet has not entered its door. Next, Li Mu plans to have a hearty battle in the Sword Tower to comprehend the Sword Heart.

The plaza of Celestial Sword Peak was bustling, lively, with thousands of disciples from the Profound Celestial Sword Sect gathered, either queuing to enter the tower or gathered in front of the Sword Tower battle rankings, everyone’s face was full of excitement and enthusiasm, discussing eagerly, as if anticipating something.

The Sword Tower battle rankings are a unique sight around the Sword Tower, presenting the real-time performance of the sword competitors inside the Sword Tower, with every change in the rankings causing an uproar among onlookers.

"No first in literature, no second in martial arts." The ranking of the Sword Tower battle rankings is the stage that the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect pursue for honor and showcase power.

Li Mu’s gaze involuntarily fell on the Sword Tower battle rankings, full of curiosity to know what kind of strength those top-ranking disciples possess.

"The lord of the 93rd floor - Senior Brother Qin has been defeated!" The crowd erupted in exclamations, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the name Chen Xu Yuan reverberating in everyone’s ears, carrying adoration and awe. The title of the new generation Sword Son, he is well deserved.

The strength of Chen Xu Yuan is as strong as a dazzling star, shining brilliantly among the disciples of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. After entering the tower, he attacked the defense continuously, with unstoppable momentum, defeating numerous powerful floor lords; each victory elevating his status in the hearts of the people, becoming the focus of all attention.

However, just when everyone thought Chen Xu Yuan would continue his triumphant advance, directly climbing to the summit of the Sword Tower, dissenting voices arose, a hissing sound rang out amidst the crowd, with a bit of disdain saying, "Chen Xu Yuan is too arrogant, daring to continue attacking upward. Soon, he will understand what the saying means; there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people!"

These words immediately garnered agreement from many people, someone sighed and said, "Indeed, the lord of the 92nd floor of the Sword Tower is the second disciple of Grand Sword Peak - Zhang Yi. This hurdle, Chen Xu Yuan definitely can’t pass."

"Exactly, against Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Chen lacks the foundation, he is ultimately still weaker!"

The name Zhang Yi is known to everyone in the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. As the second disciple of Grand Sword Peak, his strength is unfathomable, long a prominent figure in the Sword Dao; if Chen Xu Yuan continues to attack the defense, he will inevitably face this formidable opponent.

However, some among the crowd hold different views, immediately speaking out to defend Chen Xu Yuan: "Not necessarily, Senior Brother Chen must have come well-prepared this time. Perhaps he still has some hidden moves unused!"

These words were immediately rebutted by others, "Heh, Senior Brother Zhang’s Supreme Profound Sword Technique is not to be trifled with; if Chen Xu Yuan wants to surpass him, I’m afraid he still needs to cultivate for decades!"

...

For a while, everyone discussed, each person silently predicting the upcoming battle in their hearts, and Chen Xu Yuan seemed to have become the center of this storm, his tower-climbing performance become the focal point of all the people’s attention, tugging at everyone’s heartstrings.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu frowned slightly, hesitating over his previous decision, not wanting to draw too much attention in the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. If he climbs too high in the tower, he will undoubtedly become the subject of discussion among the Profound Celestial Sword Sect disciples, which will undoubtedly bring him unnecessary trouble.

However, if he does not climb the tower to hold the defense, he can only continue to compete in sword skills with the junior disciples, though this is also a form of practice, Li Mu is certain that his Sword Dao journey cannot stop there; he needs more formidable opponents and fiercer challenges to continuously enhance his combat power.

Li Mu took a deep breath, his eyes firm, having made a decision.

He cannot retreat because he is afraid of trouble; Li Mu still decided to continue climbing the tower to hold the defense, but he plans to lower his defense target in the Sword Tower, just holding the 100th floor Sword Tower, so as to continuously confront those who attack the defense.

Soon, Li Mu walked towards the line to enter the Sword Tower, queuing to wait to enter.

The line moved slowly, half an hour later, it was finally Li Mu’s turn to enter the tower.

The disciple guarding the Sword Tower, gazed sharply at Li Mu, stopping him and reaching out demandingly, "To enter the tower, please first present your Disciple Token and pay 10,000 points of Sect Contribution."

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded in understanding, his palm moved slightly, taking out the Disciple Token from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, handing it to the guarding disciple.

The guarding disciple took Li Mu’s Token, his face showed a slight surprise, immediately probing it with his Divine Sense, instantly gaining Li Mu’s identity.

Upon seeing the information on the Token, the guarding disciple’s face immediately became respectful, looking at Li Mu with utmost courtesy, bending to greet, "Disciple - Liu Qiang, greets Elder Li."

After greeting, guarding disciple - Liu Qiang looked at Li Mu, somewhat embarrassed, realizing, "Elder Li, are you sure you want to enter the tower? For Elder Level entering the Sword Tower, the Contribution required is 100,000 points, not 10,000 points, this is the sect’s rule, please understand."

Li Mu smiled slightly, seemingly having anticipated such different treatment, nodded calmly and said, "Hmm, I confirm I want to enter the tower, you may deduct it."

The guarding disciple dared not show a shred of negligence, immediately followed Li Mu’s instructions, deducting 100,000 points of Sect Contribution from the Token.

"Elder Li, keep your Token well. After entering the tower, the Tower Spirit will grant you a Sword Talisman. Don’t be nervous," the guarding disciple respectfully returned the Token to Li Mu, reminding him.

Li Mu understood, received his Token, nodded to indicate he understood, and turned to walk into the Sword Tower.

Watching Li Mu enter the Sword Tower, the guarding disciple had a smile of anticipation on his face, guessing that with an Elder level Sword Cultivator entering the tower to challenge, the Sword Tower battle rankings might be stirred into a frenzy anew!
