The towering Demon Refining Tower pierces the sky.

As he approached the entrance, Fan Wubing directly felt the imposing aura of the Demon Refining Tower, along with a hidden power that constantly exudes immense majesty.

This kind of power is the core that operates the Demon Refining Tower.

It is said that the Demon Refining Tower was personally crafted by the first Sect Leader of the Eternal Immortal Sect, passed down through the ages, existing for a thousand years. Constant maintenance and updates over the centuries have transformed it into its current form.

However, Fan Wubing could never understand why such an impressive tower was used merely for the disciples' annual examination?

It seems like it is being underutilized.

Moreover, the name "Demon Refining" doesn't directly relate to the annual exam. It seems that being used for the annual exam is just an additional function.

With a chime ringing from the peak of Immortal Performance Peak, the eight grand doors of the Demon Refining Tower opened for everyone. The third generation of disciples gradually entered.

Fan Wubing still hadn't seen Fu Manman's figure and didn't know what had happened to her that she suddenly went into seclusion.

The magical thing about the Demon Refining Tower is that even if two hundred people enter at the same time, they remain completely isolated from one another.

This design was seen in the decryption gate during the grand trial for new students.

It's uncertain whether it employs a Divine Technique involving the "Thousand-layer Grotto Heaven," or if everyone is merely experiencing an illusion.

The moment Fan Wubing stepped in, everyone else around him instantly disappeared, leaving only himself.

He fully immersed himself in experiencing everything in front of him.

The overflowing energy, pulsating rhythm, somber power...

Under the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill, he could clearly differentiate which breaths were natural, which were innate, and which were acquired... By comparing and analyzing the breaths, he was certain: the tower climbing design of the Demon Refining Tower isn't an illusion but a real scenario.

It seems,

they are utilizing a Divine Technique involving the "Thousand-layer Grotto Heaven."

A Grotto Heaven with a thousand layers, encompassing myriad creations.

Fan Wubing's Sect Token trembled briefly, showing he was currently on the first floor of the Demon Refining Tower, with a countdown of three hours displayed on it.

Three hours later, the tower climbing assessment ends.

Since that's the case, let's begin.

The environment on the first floor was quite ordinary, just a piece of common open ground.

In the middle of the ground stood a bird demon, its feathers like sharp swords, standing on one leg with its eyes closed. Its breath was mixed and unruly, clearly a first-rank demon beast that had recently transformed.

After a brief assessment, its strength seemed to be around the second or third layer of Qi Refining.

Rather than battling it, Fan Wubing was more curious about whether this bird demon was real or condensed by the Demon Refining Tower, akin to how he fabricated demons using the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill.

The Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill enveloped it.

After a moment, Fan Wubing frowned slightly.

It's actually real? A real blood essence, a real structure.

He couldn't help but wonder, to be fair, the situation faced by every disciple inside the Demon Refining Tower is the same. With thousands of participants in the annual test and over a dozen floors in the Demon Refining Tower, they would need tens of thousands of demon beasts to guard it.

Could it be that the Eternal Immortal Sect caught thousands of demon beasts from outside to guard the tower? The key is to ensure that the demon beast's strength at each level faced by each disciple is exactly the same.

The workload involved is unimaginable.

Fan Wubing thinks that for a sect like the Eternal Immortal Sect, with a thousand-year foundation, it wouldn't waste human resources so severely.

Then, what is the real reason?

While he was pondering, the bird demon suddenly opened its eyes and launched an attack towards him, its feather-like swords shooting out, intending to pierce him through.

But, with Fan Wubing's current physical strength, such power could not harm him.

Before it got close, the feathers were torn to shreds by blood and qi.

Then he dashed forward, instantly arriving before the bird demon, reaching out and easily breaking its neck.

As he habitually took out his deboning knife to extract the Demon Core, the bird demon's corpse suddenly disintegrated into beams of light with various color particles, disappearing in the blink of an eye from the first floor.

It's not real!

But why does it appear exactly like a real entity?

Fan Wubing immediately operated the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill. In his eyes, the surrounding energies became threads.

He quickly identified the different parts among these energy threads.

A thread of interwoven shadow and light, resembling a rotating Tai Chi pattern, entered his view.

What is that?

He immediately used the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to form a dragon from these energies, intending to swallow the interwoven energy of shadow and light.

But it fled swiftly like a living creature.

"Even the evolved Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill couldn't capture it? What on earth is it?"

Intuition told Fan Wubing that this kind of energy created the miraculous "Thousand-layer Grotto Heaven" scene of the tower-climbing trial in the Demon Refining Tower.

There's still a chance.

Fan Wubing hurriedly proceeded to the second floor.

His aim was no longer the tower trial itself but to eliminate the interwoven shadow and light energy after defeating each demon beast on each floor.

This time, he was prepared.

He заранее covered the surroundings with a layer of his blood and qi using the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill, and instantly when he killed the second floor's demon beast guardian, he contracted it, forming a cage without gaps, trapping the interwoven shadow and light energy within.

Success!

Feeling the special energy rampaging within his blood and qi cage, Fan Wubing raised his eyebrows.

Do you just want to leave like that?

Or could it be... there's something deeper within the Demon Refining Tower that is drawing the special energy back?

Of course, Fan Wubing wouldn't let it go, and with a few steps forward, he swallowed it in a single gulp, then activated "Swallowing Stars and Chewing Moon," with "Tongue Desire" quickly consuming it.
