Only to see it.

It was actually a gigantic steel golem, seven or eight meters tall.

The golem's whole body looked as if it was cast from bronze, wielding an immense, seamless iron rod. It appeared very mighty and majestic, like a massive bronze mountain.

"Trialist!"

Boom!

Almost upon its appearance.

As soon as the steel golem appeared, its eyes fell upon Ye Qingchen, and it spoke in a human voice:

"I am the guardian of the first layer of this Glazed Tower!"

"Within the designated time, if you can defeat me, you will earn the qualification to enter the 2nd Floor."

"After defeating me, you can choose to enter the 2nd Floor at any time, or you can remain and train in this layer until the maximum time, after which you will be automatically transmitted to the 2nd Floor!"

"Of course, if you cannot defeat me within the designated time, you will completely lose the qualification for the trial!"

After speaking.

The steel golem stood there, guarding beside the Teleportation Array.

And Ye Qingchen understood the entire challenge rules of the Glazed Tower from its words.

"So you can train in the tower indefinitely!"

"In that case, let's not waste time!"

With this decision made.

Ye Qingchen walked directly toward the steel golem.

"Chī!"

When he was three or four meters in front of the steel golem, the seemingly dormant golem suddenly awoke. Its eyes locked onto Ye Qingchen, raising the huge rod in its hand in a flash, and slammed it toward Ye Qingchen.

"Hūshuā!"

The huge rod swept through, leaving heavy afterimages, resembling a Divine Dragon's tail swipe, shattering the surrounding space, sweeping toward Ye Qingchen!

"Since it's a sword heritage, it should be used with Swordsmanship!"

"Zheng!"

At the very moment the steel golem made its move, Ye Qingchen flicked his finger, and in the void appeared a Wind Flying Sword, which, in an instant, slammed violently toward the steel golem.

"Dang!"

The flying sword clanged out, bypassing the golem's attack, directly striking its head. The contained Sword Qi released entirely at once, shredding it completely.

As the steel golem was destroyed, the previously dim Teleportation Array behind it suddenly fired up, as if activated.

This meant Ye Qingchen could enter the 2nd Floor at any time!

"This steel golem was only comparable to a newly ascended Celestial Saint, utterly no challenge to me!"

Ye Qingchen looked at the scattered fragments.

"Let's train!"

"This is a rare time! Training for thirty days in the Glazed Tower is equivalent to just one day outside! I shall seize this opportunity to increase my strength!"

Thinking of this.

Ye Qingchen sat down cross-legged and began training.

In the blink of an eye.

Thirty days passed, and when the final day ended, the tower's Teleportation Array suddenly emitted a suction force, sending him directly to the 2nd Floor.

The guardian of the 2nd Floor was a Shadow Dragon with dual wings on its back!

Yet Ye Qingchen still annihilated it with just one move, earning the qualification to enter the 3rd Floor.

"Each layer's guardian is stronger than the last!"

"The trials of this Glazed Tower become harder the further you progress!"

Although.

The Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint said that passing through the nine layers would mean Ye Qingchen had passed the trial. But to Ye Qingchen, how could he be satisfied with just that? His goal was naturally to conquer the entire Glazed Tower!

After eliminating the Shadow Dragon, Ye Qingchen continued to train on the 2nd Floor.

Thus.

Every thirty days, Ye Qingchen ascended one layer of the Glazed Tower!

He started recklessly training and exploring the tower!

The 3rd Floor featured a massive flaming skeleton. The skeleton stood over ten meters high, its entire skeletal structure jade-like, and burned with intense flames.

The 4th Floor housed a Two-winged Saber-toothed Tiger, seven or eight zhang long, with enormous power. Every swipe of its claw possessed overwhelming force.

The 5th Floor held a massive Nether Bird, with wingspan extending nearly over a hundred meters, and claws more rigid than steel, capable of slicing through gold and jade!

6th Floor...

7th Floor...

8th Floor...

9th Floor...

Ye Qingchen effortlessly broke through the nine layers and moved toward higher floors of the Glazed Tower.

At the same time.

His Nine Revolutions Star Technique finally completed the second tome, entering the 'Nebula Chapter' of the third tome! His Dantian expanded by dozens of times, appearing now as a vast starry sky!

Although his cultivation level did not increase much, it was equivalent to an enlarged capacity!

Not only did the Nine Revolutions Star Technique reap huge benefits, but his 'Nine Departures Sword Canon' also reached Great Success, nearly touching the threshold of the final form, the True Martial Sword.

Of course.

Through continuous honing, Ye Qingchen's attainment of the 2nd Floor of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique also gradually stepped into the stage of Minor Success.

And this was merely at the 9th Floor.

Ye Qingchen still had enough time to continue breaking through towards the top!

...

However.

As Ye Qingchen passed the 9th Floor and trained in the tower for a full two hundred and twenty-seven days, only nine days had elapsed in the outside world.

During these nine days.

The Martial Artists of the Tongxuan Continent did not remain idle, but quickly rallied together to eradicate all those forces that once surrendered to Ci Yuan. At this moment, they gathered in Yun Ding City, discussing how to deal with the Celestial God Sect.

"What's there to discuss?" Qin Wentian suddenly slammed the table, speaking in a deep voice, "The Celestial God Sect came across the sea, sweeping through the Eastern Domain, committing countless atrocities, we should attack directly!"

"Brother Qin, though the Celestial God Sect only came with over a hundred people this time, they are all strong among the Celestial Saints, and their power far exceeds what we can contend with!" Said an elder with white hair and beard next to him, sighing.

"Are we to just stand idly by and watch the Celestial God Sect wreak havoc, powerless? Repeating the nightmare when Mo Luo Celestial Saint suppressed the Eastern Domain four hundred years ago, infernal flames raging everywhere?" Qin Wentian shouted in anger.

The crowd shuddered at his words.

Though.

None of them had experienced that moment, they learned from the remnants of records, the dark, bloody flood of four hundred years ago.

Mo Luo Celestial Saint suppressed everything, with dark arts and demon dao thriving in the Eastern Domain, blood flowing in rivers, and piles of corpses.

Being people of the Eastern Domain, they naturally did not wish to relive that scene.

"Of course, we cannot repeat the scene from four hundred years ago!" Yun Xuan said faintly at this moment. Despite having been suppressed once by Ye Qingchen, the Spirit Coffin Sect remained the largest sect in the Tongxuan Continent and still held a certain influence.

Thus, Yun Xuan's voice brought immediate silence, everyone waiting to see his plan.

Only to hear Yun Xuan say:

"However, with our current strength, facing the Celestial God Sect is still challenging. But we can unite all forces of the Eastern Domain to resist the Celestial God Sect!"

"In these over four hundred years, the Eastern Domain has recuperated and produced quite a few Celestial Saints. If we can rally these Celestial Saints together, it would indeed be a formidable force!"

"Good!"

With these words, everyone's eyes gleamed.

Though.

They were rather weak in forces, but they had the advantage of territory.

"If the Celestial God Sect has any sense, they should obediently admit their faults and leave the Eastern Domain. Otherwise, they will be utterly wiped out!" A Celestial Saint said coldly.

Suddenly.

A cold laugh came from outside:

"Is that so?"

The crowd was stunned, quickly looking toward the sound.

Seeing.

Unbeknownst when, a black-robed monk stood at the entrance of the hall. This monk bore a bizarre black fire pattern on the right side of his face. Standing casually at the door, he exuded a sinister aura, like a Demon God.

This existence was none other than Ci Flame from the Taixu Continent!
