As Demon Clouds closed in, the three considered entering the tower through the deadly cold currents, while Monk Tan Qian offered to sell them Buddhist scriptures.

• Monk Tan Qian used his purple-gold bowl to try to collect the ruined tower, and Hua Qinglian recognized it as resembling the legendary Thousand Kingdoms Purple Bowl.
• A shrill cry burst from the tower, rupturing Ning Xiaochuan’s eardrums and badly injuring Hua Qinglian while cracking Monk Tan Qian’s bowl.

• Ning Xiaochuan and the others found more imprisoned human corpses, including powerful figures from several sects and an Eternal Realm supreme being bound on the eighth floor.

Ning Xiaochuan, Monk Tan Qian, and Hua Qinglian discovered that the ruined tower was likely the Town Suppressing Tower, built by the Heavenly Dream Demon Emperor to imprison human experts.
