Dustwind Hidden Valley vibrated with construction energy.
Stone pillars aligned themselves. Wind flowed in perfect symmetry. Aurelius purified the sunlight every five minutes. Auntie Bao sterilized reality itself.
The foundations of the Trial Tower glowed under Miyu's supervision.
Solene's divine blueprint hovered in the air, rotating majestically.
Every disciple stared at it with trembling awe.
Lin Ruyin whispered:
"Is… is this even a tower… or a heavenly weapon…?"
Jin Haru shivered.
"If I enter that thing, will I come out with my sins scrubbed off?"
Auntie Bao smacked his head lightly.
"That's the point, child."
Miyu floated nearby, pillow tucked under her arm, aura calm and ancient.
"…Begin the rise."
Aurelius saluted.
"YES, MASTER—!!"

⭐ 1. The Trial Tower Begins Its Ascent
Solene raised her hand.
Golden lines burst from the ground, weaving themselves into the tower's structure.
Stone rose from the earth. Spirit light condensed into walls. A purifying wind spiraled upward.
The first floor took form—
A hall filled with floating dust illusions. A crooked-stance demon training puppet. A mop requiring rhythmic cleaning.
Disciples screamed.
"That's impossible—!!!"
"The first floor is already hell—!!"
"Why is the mop glowing?!"
Miyu nodded.
"…Good. It builds character."

⭐ 2. The Demon Clan Arrives to Sabotage
Far above the valley, a black cloud gathered.
Laughter echoed.
Shadowed figures emerged—cloaked demons from the Abyssal Rot Clan.
Their leader, Lord Malphas, sneered.
"Dustwind Sect defied the Abyss…
Let's destroy their little construction project."
His underlings cackled.
"We'll corrupt the foundation!" "We'll infest the tower with plague worms!" "We'll spread rot through their sect!"
Malphas raised his hand dramatically.
"Release the Abyssal Miasm—"
A mop tapped his back.
"…Eh?"
He turned slowly.
Auntie Bao stood there smiling.
Sweetly.
"You children dropped something."
She held a demon's severed pride in her hand.
Malphas shrieked.

⭐ 3. Dustwind Sect Responds in 0 Seconds
Aurelius appeared behind Auntie Bao, sterilizing the air violently.
"Contaminants detected.
Neutralization protocol: ACTIVATED."
Elder Orchid leapt into the air, correcting all demons' crooked posture by force.
CRACK
CRACK
CRACK
Demon soldiers screamed:
"MY SPINE—!!"
"MY BACK IS STRAIGHT BUT I'M IN PAIN—!!"
Lin Ruyin whispered:
"This is… horrifying…"
Jin Haru replied:
"…And beautiful."
Solene floated down, her divine light sweeping across the battlefield.
Demons burst into purified dust.
Malphas trembled.
"W-WHAT… WHAT IS THIS SECT?!"

⭐ 4. Miyu Steps Forward
Miyu approached slowly.
Calm.
Clean.
Ancient.
She hugged her pillow.
"…No rot allowed."
Malphas pointed at her in terror.
"Y-YOU—!!
YOU'RE JUST A CHILD—!!"
Miyu tilted her head.
"…You're ugly."
Malphas collapsed.
"WHY IS THAT SO PAINFULLY ACCURATE—?!"
Miyu extended one finger.
A tiny pulse of order.
A clean breeze.
Just a breeze.
It hit the demon army.
Every demon exploded into sanitized sparkles.
Malphas screamed as he disintegrated.
"STOP CLEANING MEEEE—!!!"
P O O F
Gone.

⭐ 5. Demon Clan Sends a Message
Just as the last demon vanished, a crimson sigil appeared in the sky.
A voice echoed:
"Dustwind Sect…
You have slain our warriors.
You will pay."
Aurelius raised his sword.
"I shall sterilize the message."
Miyu pointed at the sigil.
"…Crooked."
The sigil straightened itself in fear.
Then shattered.

⭐ 6. The Trial Tower COMPLETES
Solene descended gracefully.
"Master, construction is complete."
The tower stood tall:
40 meters high
7 floors
Radiating pure order
Windows perfectly aligned
Not a single error in structure
Every disciple fell to their knees.
"It's… majestic…"
"It looks like heaven's bathroom…"
"It radiates judgment…"
Miyu hugged her pillow.
"Tomorrow, we test it."

⭐ 7. Ending — The Murim World Reacts
News spread like wildfire.
"Dustwind built a tower in one day?!" "They purified an entire demon squad?!" "They scared off a celestial inspector?!" "What kind of sect IS THIS?!"
In the heavens…
The Sterility Immortal TWITCHED.
"…She built WHAT?!
A TOWER?!
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?!"
His killing intent surged.
"THAT LITTLE GERMY BRAT—!!
I WILL ERASE HER!!"
Lightning crackled.
Heavens trembled.
Dustwind Sect's fate…
Was now fully entangled with his rage.
