Bewildering Sand Realm.
Central Tower No. 1.
The so-called "towers" were not tower-shaped buildings in the conventional sense.
The many Outpost Towers scattered throughout this realm were divided into two types.
The first type was the ordinary Outpost Tower.
They housed around a hundred personnel, led by a Profound Master, and were primarily responsible for monitoring the desert within a two-thousand-kilometer radius.
The other type was the Central Tower.
They housed more than two thousand personnel, with a Profound Overseer as the highest-ranking commander. Each Central Tower controlled thirty to fifty Outpost Towers.
And "No. 1" was precisely the first Outpost Tower established in this realm.
As an aside.
A "tower" in the conventional sense was a tall, point-like structure rising from the ground.
But the "towers" of the Bewildering Sand Realm were entirely different.
The environment in this realm was far too harsh. Every few days, enormous sandstorms would sweep through.
And after a sandstorm passed, the surface terrain would undergo earth-shaking changes, making it utterly impossible to construct any buildings above ground.
Therefore, whether they were Outpost Towers or Central Towers, all were built by excavating into the underground rock strata.
There was another benefit to doing so.
The underground temperature was relatively constant, staying at around twenty-five degrees. It did not shift abruptly between freezing and scorching like the surface, making it a more suitable living environment.

Cui Zhibin wore a black Mystic Adept robe as he watched a Monitoring Mystic Array.
"Buzz~"
Soft vibrations sounded continuously.
A three-dimensional phantom image floated directly above the array, clearly displaying every sand dune within fifty kilometers.
Half an hour passed.
The image did not change at all.
Nor did the array detect
