Theron immediately had two questions.
What was that?
And why was this a matter that needed to be hesitated about to the point of near secrecy?
"What's that, senior sister?"
"It's not a surprise you don't know about it. The tower is in the Inner Sect. It's said that if you can pass its test, you can become a Core Disciple immediately regardless of your cultivation, and gain the resources that come with it.
"The problem is that normally the tower is closed because it takes a large amount of energy to activate. It's not worth it just for one disciple after another to fail.
"But, this is more of an open secret. For a while now, the acting story has been that the tower has just been rejecting entries because no one has even been worthy to take the first floor test…"
The voice of the young woman trailed off as she gave Theron a pointed look. If Theron was a talent that had even a remote right to challenge the tower, he would understand by now.
