Background / History

Trial Towers are described as exceptionally special Multiverse existences of unknown origin. They are said to appear in worlds recognized or favored by the Multiverse; when such worlds are destroyed, their towers may drift through the Void and Chaos. Their extreme durability means that many still exist across the Multiverse. 15 61

Zhang Zhi obtained a Gray Trial Tower from a Light Cluster dropped by the final bosses of a Heaven and Earth Trial. He initially considered concealing it inside a human city because of its value and the attention it could attract. 23

He later established the tower at the summit of Mount Kunlun, spending 10,000 World Power. Upon touching its door, he received its operational information and became its master—an authority absent from ordinary public Trial Towers. 121 122

After opening access to Human Race cultivators from the Ten Thousand Races Region, Zhang Zhi converted the tower into a Trading Market and began moving resources between regions. Its influence later extended to the Demon Lord, Godhood Attainer, Heavenly Dog, Demon Refiner, Eerie, and Rune World Regions. 128 130 337 501 525 678

By the time the tower reached Tier 4, it had become a major exchange center: resources such as ore and spirit herbs flowed in from multiple regions, while Magic Tools, Array Formations, Pills, Talismans, and Extraordinary Technology goods flowed out. 501

The tower's existence was eventually exposed to high-level Human Race officials in the Main World. The revelation that a Trial Tower could have a master overturned the longstanding belief that Trial Towers could only be occupied, not controlled. Professor Zhuang Zi publicly took responsibility as the supposed master to shield Zhang Zhi's identity. 782 783

Structure

• The tower began as a single-story structure and was visually identical to Academy Trial Towers aside from its number of floors. 121
• At Tier 3, it became three stories tall. 147
• The Tier 4 Trading Market includes separate higher floors for Blue-, Purple-, and higher-ranked goods, with spending requirements restricting access. 511
• The interior obscures ordinary users' appearance, clothing, and voices; communication is normally unavailable in the shared hall. The master alone can display their appearance within the tower. 29 705

Systems and Functions

Trials and Arena

The tower allows living beings to choose trial methods, enter Secret Realms, defeat creatures or Foreign Races, and earn Trial Tower Points for resources. Humans gain one Trial Tower attempt per month after turning fourteen, though each tower has limited entry quotas. 15

• Arena — Matches take place in large rings against opponents of varied races and strengths. Zhang Zhi used the Arena to build winning streaks and earn achievements. 29 31
• Trial Secret Realms — Trial Takers are randomly sent into Secret Realms; rewards and enemy limits depend on the relevant tower tier. 15 111
• Race Confrontation / Tower Defense — Victory can require reaching and touching the opposing side's Trial Tower. A side may only enter the enemy Trial Plaza after its population exceeds half of the Secret Realm's total participants. 38
• Tower Defense Mode — Participants defend against escalating monster waves, progressing from Ordinary Realm enemies to Elite, Mortal Transformation, and eventually Extraordinary Realm enemies. 66

Key Cards and Entry Control

Zhang Zhi's tower uses Key Cards rather than ordinary public access. A recipient with a remaining Trial Tower attempt can tear a Key Card to enter directly. 121 128

• Gray, White, Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow, and higher Key Cards correspond to different cultivation ranges. 121 442 688
• Without a valid Key Card, outsiders cannot enter Zhang Zhi's tower merely by opening its door. 121
• Purple Key Cards correspond to Legendary and Demigod Realm cultivators; Yellow Key Cards correspond to Weak Divine Power Realm cultivators. 688
• Key Cards can be stolen or misused by infiltrators, as demonstrated by the Owlman Mimi Bala entering the tower with a stolen Purple Key Card. 138 139

Exchange, Trading, and Tasks

Trial Tower Points can be exchanged for Cards and other resources. The available resources are influenced by the achievements and needs of the race occupying the tower. 15 122

• The master can choose which Cards appear in the exchange interface, hide selected goods, and alter the exchange center into shop or supermarket formats. 122
• The tower can recycle Cards from Trial Takers, creating a trading system unavailable in ordinary default-function towers. 122
• Zhang Zhi may take any Card listed in his tower's exchange interface without paying Points. 122
• The Trading Market has stocked Magic Tools, Array Formations, Pills, Spirit Herbs, Spirit Rice, Spirit Meat, Flat Peaches, Mechas, Magic Boats, Divinity, and Crystals of the World. 130 511
• The Task Center has been used to recruit Artifact Forgers, Array Masters, Alchemists, and information gatherers from other World Regions. 322 525

Master Authority

As the tower's master, Zhang Zhi possesses control unavailable to ordinary Trial Takers. 121 122

• His first monthly entry does not consume a Trial Tower usage count. 122
• He can modify or disable functions, including the Trial Secret Realm system. 122
• He can configure exchange displays, trading rules, and the availability of resources. 122
• He can use his Projection to enter Trial Secret Realms, Arenas, and Trial Battlefields without placing his main body at risk. 127 128
• His Projection can remain active after leaving the Small World's range; if it dies in a Trial Battlefield, only the World Power-created Projection is lost. 128

Trial Battlefield

The Trial Battlefield connects Trial Towers under attack and allows Trial Takers to reinforce them through Trial Tower War Secret Realms. 122

• A Trial Battlefield may be enabled by the master or automatically activated when a Foreign Race attacks a tower. 122
• Foreign Races can forcibly occupy a Trial Tower, after which the tower adapts its resources and Cultivation Techniques to better suit its new occupying race. 122
• Attacked towers distribute their own resources as bounty rewards to attract reinforcements. 122
• A Trial Tower's coverage area affects which Trial Takers, towers, and Secret Realms can connect with one another. 128
• The tower silently places a Mark on Trial Battlefield participants, apparently allowing return teleportation to their originating tower. 680
• If a tower falls while Cultivators remain dependent on it, they can become stranded and unable to return to their former worlds. 598 680

Achievements

Achievements earned within the tower can improve its capacity and advancement prospects. 31 33 147

• The “Punching the Nursing Home, Kicking the Kindergarten” achievement doubles entry spots for the relevant Arena tier for ten years. 33
• Achievements are ranked: Single Flower Sending Joy is Gray Rank, two through nine flowers are White Rank, and Ten Flowers Celebrate Together is Green Rank. 147
• Tier 3 promotion required achievement milestones, including 100 Gray Rank, 10 White Rank, or 1 Green Rank achievement. 147
• Zhang Zhi's 300 consecutive Arena victories unlocked achievements that increased his Tier 1 quota. 129

Limitations

• The tower requires World Power for maintenance: Tier 1 consumes 10 points daily, Tier 2 consumes 40, and Tier 3 consumes 90. 150
• Tier 3 functions—including Tier 3 Arena access, Trial Secret Realms, Trial Battlefields, and corresponding entry slots—require further World Power to activate. 151
• Promotion demands enormous Point totals and accomplishment requirements; Tier 3 advancement required 10 billion Points, extensive Arena and Race Confrontation victories, achievements, and Special Secret Realm victories. 147
• Higher-tier access remains restricted by available Key Card ranks, preventing many high-level cultivators from entering while the tower's tier is insufficient. 689
• Trial Towers can be besieged, breached, and occupied by Foreign Races despite their general durability. 122 680

Relationships

• Zhang Zhi — True master and administrator; controls access, exchanges, upgrades, tasks, and Trial Battlefield functions. 121 122 511
• Fang Yun — Early elite Trial Taker from Zhang Zhi's Small World; Zhang Zhi hoped Fang Yun would earn major Arena achievements to accelerate the tower's growth. 123
• Human Race of the Ten Thousand Races Region — First major external user base; received Key Cards, traded resources, and supplied Cards and Points through Arena participation. 128 130 133
• Human Race of the Demon Lord World Region — Received access through Key Cards; their Artifact Forgers, Array Masters, Alchemists, and cultivators strengthened the tower's task and trading systems. 337 339
• Professor Zhuang Zi — Publicly identified as the tower's master to divert Main World scrutiny away from Zhang Zhi. 782 783
• Foreign Races — Compete for, infiltrate, attack, and occupy Trial Towers because control over a tower can alter a race's resources and future development. 122 138 680
