The Clocktower.
This is the massive, levitating gothic structure located high above the academy city, a monument of great authority suspended in the clouds where the wind howled relentlessly against stained glass windows.
It is the sanctum where the legendary Ten Sages and several highest-ranking Master Teachers gather to orchestrate the destiny of the empire's youth.
It represents the pinnacle of institutional power, a place where a single decree could alter the fate of every students currently studying in the academy.
And not just current students, but even those who have already graduated.
There were a time when the Empire is being invaded by demonic cultivators or barbaric tribes from the vast wilderness, and the Academy simply sent a word, and every students who had graduated from the academy all rallied together and resist the invasion, saving the entire empire.
