SWNOVELS Chapter 56 Origin Of The Sword Tower
*****************¶¶*****************
"That is all..."
"I see," the Vice Sect Leader left after listening to what Elder David and Sophia had to say.
Before leaving he sent a message to those that held the position of Great Elders and above for a meeting after Arthur comes out of the tower and is rewarded appropriately.
After the Vice Sect Leader left, David wiped a drop of sweat off his face.
"Phew...why is he always so cold."
"Quiet, he might hear you," Sophia reprimanded him.
Cultivators of a higher realm had enhanced senses and powerful spirit power that can possibly scan an area of over a kilometer.
"You are right," David decided against saying what he was about to say and talk about something else.
"He should be speaking with the Artifact Spirit by now."
"Yes, but we can not see them or hear their conversation."
"I wonder what he will receive from the tower as this is the first time someone cleared it," David was curious
"Me too, we just have to ask him as the Vice Sect Leader instructed. But we can't be too direct otherwise it would put us in a bad light."

Within the tower, Arthur awoke from the illusion. Opening his eyes, he looked around the place where he was.
He was in a hall that had nine pillars lined up in front of him. There was a stone slab embedded in each of the pillars.
Aside from that, Arthur saw a Sword in its sheath placed on a stone table in front of the pillars.
"This must be the highest floor. What happens now?" He said to himself and approached the sword.
"Now, you are to be rewarded for your efforts!" A man appear before Arthur and looked at him with a smile.contemporary romance
Arthur knew that this man should be the Sword Tower's artifact spirit. So he cupped his fist and nodded a little in greeting.
"You are a peculiar young man. Not only is your comprehension the best that I have seen so far, but the fact that you have spirit power is the most surprising."
Arthur wasn't fazed by the fact that the artifact spirit knew about his spirit power, as he could just explain it as having a special physique.
He was expecting a question about how he has spirit power. But to his surprise, the artifact spirit asked nothing more about it.
"So tell me, young man, what do you know about this tower?"
'Hmm, what is this question? Can't I just receive my reward and get done with it?'
While Arthur thought that, he decided to say what he knows.
"The Sword Tower they say was created by the Ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Sect, to train its disciples and also to test their battle talent."
"The Sword Tower has been in the sect since the first day it was created," Arthur said what he knew and looked at the artifact spirit for a reply because he knew there should be more to this story that he knows nothing about.
And he was right.
"You are only half correct. The Sword Tower's purpose is indeed to train and test talents, but it was not created by the Ancestor of the sect."
'Yeah, I already expected that there is more to this than what is told. I have read too many plots in cultivation novels you know?'
Arthur pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes a bit, "What?"
"It is true, let me tell you the full story..." The artifact spirit began to tell Arthur how the tower came about.
It turns out that the Sword Tower was given to the founder of the sect when he was younger.
The founder of the sect in his younger days was fortunate to meet an immortal sword cultivator from a higher realm who descended into this realm in search of a treasure.
The sect's founder accompanied the immortal sword cultivator in his search for a treasure and throughout their journey, he was taught the way of the sword.
The sect's founder's mastery over the sword increased by leaps and bounds and the immortal sword cultivator saw that the talent of the sect's founder was great and was happy he found a hidden gem in a place like this.
The immortal had searched for the treasure he came here for and soon found it after five years of waiting for the treasure to appear.
After that, he was to leave the realm and proposed to bring the founder with him and nurture him in his sect in the upper realms.
But sadly the sect founder declined. He had a blood feud to settle in the Mortal Emperor Realm. And it was the kind that will leave a demon in his heart if he discards it.
The immortal was very fond of the founder and decided in the heat of the moment to leave the treasure he found for him.
He also gave him the sword tower which was a copy of the original sword tower that could be found in the Immortal Sword Cultivator's sect.
After that, he instructed the founder to come to look for him in the upper realm when he is done with his matters here.
And the sword tower was a tool that he told the founder to use to search for talents and that those who clear all floors have met the requirements to join the Immortal's sect in the upper realm.
The immortal had seen that even in a lower realm like this which is deemed as a place filled with trash by those of the upper realms, can once in a while have great geniuses, hence the decision.
Now that Arthur had cleared all floors, he is entitled to receive a token that will let him enter the sect of the immortal when and if he ever ascends to the upper realm.
He also told Arthur something that surprised him.
"Aside from the martial techniques that are here for you and cultivation resources, you will also receive this sword which is a Peak Rank Earth Grade Sword, and a stone tablet that will help speed up your comprehension of the Sword Dao."
"And one more thing, the sect's founder did not use the treasure the immortal left for him."
The artifact spirit waved his hand and a map appeared, floating in front of Arthur.
"He left it for a member of the future generation that is talented enough to clear all floors."
Arthur was shocked when he saw the map.
'It is the same!'
