Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Wuxi's cultivation at the early stage of the seventh level of Xuanwu was completely stabilized.

To his surprise, when he opened the door, he saw a familiar face. Ye Wuxi scratched his head, wondering how to explain this time.

"Greetings, Elder Ge!"

"I knew it was you!"

Elder Ge was speechless for a moment, but he had also heard about this man killing Zhong Xiang. Given his exceptional talent and status as a disciple of Chi Huo, what could he possibly say…

"Go on, go on. Next time, remember to let me know before you go in," Elder Ge said helplessly, waving his hand.

"Good Le!"

Ye Wuxi smiled and said that most of the elders in the sect were quite nice and did not pry into the matter, which saved her the trouble of making up stories.

As soon as they left the cultivation tower, Duan Hong looked at her with a smile, as if he knew everything perfectly well, which made Ye Wuxi want to punch him.

"Brother Duan, your cultivation progress is quite fast," Ye Wuxi said with a smile.

Duan Hong shrugged. "Likewise."

The two successfully broke through their cultivation levels and went directly to the inner peak to participate in the assessment.

"Don't wander around, head straight to the testing hall," a disciple guarding the inner peak entrance reminded them.

There have been too many people taking the test these past few days, mostly because of the limited number of cemetery plots. They want to try their luck and get into the inner sect as soon as possible. But this test isn't something you can pass just by reaching a certain level of cultivation; you also need to pass the combat test.

Ye Wuxi and Duan Hong nodded. When they arrived at the testing hall, they were surprised to see two familiar figures: Su Lingyi and Huang Ruxin, whose cultivation had also broken through to the seventh level of Xuanwu.

"Junior Sister Ye, your cultivation speed is too fast," Su Lingyi shook her head helplessly. Duan Hong was one thing, but Ye Wuxi had only just broken through to the fifth level of Xuanwu during the last competition. How long has it been, and she has already caught up with them.

"Stop chatting, you lot. Hurry up and go forward to test your skills. You must defeat these three puppets within three moves."

Elder Wu, who was in charge of the testing, was getting impatient. Most of the people who participated in the assessment these past two days had chaotic true qi, which was obviously due to the use of pills to forcibly improve their abilities. They were simply wasting his time.

The group didn't dare to speak anymore. All three puppets were at the peak of the seventh level of the Xuanwu realm. Su Lingyi stepped forward first and defeated them with just one sword strike.

Then Huang Ruxin and Duan Hong stepped forward and defeated the puppet with a single sword strike. Elder Wu's expression improved. The top ten outer disciples were the most reliable; the other outer disciples were simply not up to par.

This was even simpler for Ye Wuxi. He leisurely stepped forward, too lazy to even draw his sword, and casually struck with a palm, rendering the three puppets powerless.

"You four are quite good, you are qualified to compete for those one hundred spots, take out your identity jade tokens," Elder Wu praised.

The four obediently took out their jade tokens. Elder Wu flicked four beams of light from his fingertips and then said, "Alright, go and collect your inner sect uniforms."

Ye Wuxi looked at the identity jade token. The identity column had been changed to inner disciple, but the rest remained unchanged.

The inner sect's attire is also white, but the style and material are more exquisite than those of the outer sect, making them easily distinguishable.

Ye Wuxi first went back to the outer sect and found Liu Yu'er. Outer sect disciples cannot enter the inner peak, and now that they parted, it was unknown how long it would be before they met again.

The two drank some wine in the attic and chatted all night. The next day, Ye Wuxi changed his clothes and went to the inner sect.

There are far fewer inner disciples than outer disciples, and each of them has a beautifully furnished courtyard house. However, those who have joined the ranks of the ten inner elders live in separate mountain palaces with their respective masters.

Ye Wuxi could also choose a palace directly at Medicine Peak, but Medicine Peak is far away and has restrictions, so it would be inconvenient for someone to look for her, and information would not be readily available. So she simply chose to stay here instead. Anyway, she didn't have any requirements for her accommodation; living alone was fine!

Back in her room, Ye Wuxi immediately began to condense the Five Elements True Essence. At the seventh level of the Xuanwu realm, she could store five mouthfuls of True Essence at the same time. Combined with the Vermilion Bird Flame, she felt somewhat more secure about this trip to the tomb.

After all, other sects also have experts like Qin Wanqiu who have already converted some of their true essence into true essence. True essence is a qualitative change, and even if she has five dantian true qi, she may not have an advantage.

Not to mention that these people have been taught by powerful experts in the inner sect for a long time, so their understanding of cultivation techniques and martial arts skills is not bad.

A day later, Ye Wuxi successfully condensed her fifth breath of true essence, and then she focused her attention on martial arts.

"I have mastered the first four forms of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Sword Technique. Now I can try to learn the fifth form."

The fifth move, Heavenly Soaring and Earthly Dance, is a mid-grade Earth-rank sword technique with wide-area damage. When mastered, the sword moves flow continuously, each linked to the next, with sword energy soaring into the sky, capable of destroying everything...

After reading it several times, Ye Wuxi went to the courtyard and began practicing her swordsmanship...

Ten days passed, and the sword technique had only just reached a minor level of mastery when nine melodious bells rang out from the inner sect square.

Ye Wuxi had no choice but to suspend his cultivation and went to the square with Su Lingyi, Huang Ruxin, and Duan Hong.

"You two have no problem getting a spot, but it's uncertain for us," Huang Ruxin sighed softly.

"Just do your best," Ye Wuxi comforted him.

A circular battle platform had been erected in the square long ago, surrounded by ten square battle platforms. In the center of the spectator stands was Sect Master Han Yunfei, flanked by the nine outer sect elders and other ordinary elders.

Ye Wuxi looked up and saw that the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect was a beautiful woman in white, with only three white-clad figures behind her: Qin Wanqiu, Kong Yufeng, and Luo Xuefan, who were ranked first, third, and fifth in the Inner Sect.

Behind the other eight elders stood many disciples, all of whom were listed on the inner sect rankings. However, behind the tenth elder stood the second prince, Lin Dongxu.

"He's become the Tenth Elder's disciple? We can take this trip to the cemetery as an opportunity to kill him!"

Ye Wuxi withdrew her gaze and thought to herself that Lin Dongxu gave her the feeling that he was full of bad intentions, and it would be better for him to die sooner. The cemetery was a good opportunity to kill him there. Who knew that she was the one who did it!

"Everyone, this is not only an inner sect competition, but also a selection process to determine the one hundred people who will enter the cemetery. I hope you will all give it your all and fight with all your might. However, this competition will be held to the minimum, and serious injury to others is not allowed."

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Yunfei's voice carried far and wide.

"In the first round, all inner disciples will go up to the battle platform for a free-for-all until two hundred disciples remain!"

brush!

brush!

As soon as Han Yunfei finished speaking, all the disciples in the spectator stands and the square rushed onto the battle platform. Ye Wuxi, Su Lingyi, Huang Ruxin, Duan Hong, and Yu Feng, who had entered the inner sect a step ahead of them, stood together.

All five of them had only recently come up from the outer gate, and since they were unfamiliar with the area, helping each other was the right choice.

"start!"

The moment the two words were uttered, various sword lights, fist imprints, and palm imprints erupted from the circular battle platform...
