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

"Can you escape?" Ling Xuehua moved slightly, raising her sword and chasing after the two.

Ye Wuxi was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time she had seen the Grand Elder make a move. As fellow Grand Elders of the sect, those two at the ninth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm were no match for her; her strength was formidable.

"Senior Sister Hong, was the Grand Elder's sword strike also the Ethereal Sword Technique?"

Hong Qingxuan smiled and said, "That's right, swordsmanship can only truly unleash its power in the hands of a strong person like the Grand Elder."

"Junior Sister Ye, you probably don't know this, but the Grand Elder once made it into the top twenty of the Xuan Domain Grand Competition. Among all the Grand Elders of the sects, she is the youngest. Before long, she will definitely become a Martial King!" Hong Qingfeng said admiringly.

Ye Wuxi gazed at that elegant yet proud figure, feeling a sense of admiration. A true strongman should be like that…

"Xuehua, we're not far from that step..."

"The Heavenly Sword Sect will gain another King-level expert within a year!"

The elders of Seven Mysteries Island and Yinluo Sect who were watching sighed. They were of the same generation and had never underestimated Ling Xuehua's strength. In recent years, she had simply concealed her brilliance and silently strived for a higher realm, rather than fading into obscurity...

"Elder, should we...?" Yue Bingyan looked at Ye Wuxi and the others, her eyes flashing slightly.

The Grand Elder of the Cloud Hidden Sect shook his head, "Ling Xuehua is about to become a queen; no one here is her match!"

Having said that, she led her disciples away without looking back. She had originally planned to wait until the three sects were both severely weakened before making her move, but after witnessing Ling Xuehua's true strength, she no longer had that intention...

With the departure of the Cloud Hidden Sect, the members of Seven Profound Island and the Yin Luo Sect also left one after another. Only Ye Wuxi and his three companions remained on the desolate desert…

Ling Xuehua quickly killed the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect, but the Grand Elder of the Tiansha Sect managed to escape beforehand with a teleportation talisman.

"That old bastard was lucky he ran fast. Let's go back to our sect..."

Ling Xuehua returned to the group and smiled. If she were alone, she would have chased after that old dog and killed him no matter what. However, there were still a few promising talents here, so she dared not chase after him too far.

Ye Wuxi nodded. She knew that Ling Xuehua was definitely thinking of them. After all, the people from Yunyin Sect didn't seem very friendly. The five of them boarded the Black Wind Vulture and headed towards Tianjian Sect.

A dozen days later, the five returned to the sect. Ling Xuehua said in a deep voice, "I'll go and report to the sect leader that during this time, if you need to go out, you must be even more careful..."

"understand!"

Ye Wuxi went to Medicine Peak to retrieve his storage ring, and then handed over the two ancient pills he obtained in the secret realm to Chi Huo for research. Only then did he go to Liu Yu'er to pick up Ye Xiaoxue and return to his palace.

Inside the palace, Ye Wuxi took out the blank scroll she had obtained and examined it. Neither her soul power nor her true essence could activate it; it remained completely blank…

Ye Xiaoxue, who was fast asleep, glanced over unintentionally and suddenly opened her eyes wide, saying, "You're in luck!"

Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow. "You can tell? I tried to activate it but couldn't."

"Idiot!" Ye Xiaoxue said disdainfully, "You poured all five of your true essences into it without reservation..."

Ye Wuxi frowned, "I tried using true energy, but it didn't work..."

"Not enough, this is no ordinary martial arts technique..." Ye Xiaoxue sneered.

Ye Wuxi nodded, fully activating his five dantian, and covered the surface with his palm...

After a long time, the scroll remained unremarkable, and Ye Wuxi began to doubt the kitten's words. Ye Xiaoxue, however, lazily said, "Keep going, don't stop. Your cultivation is too low; you shouldn't be able to open this scroll. But your true essence is special, so you can give it a try..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wuxi had no choice but to believe her and increased the intensity of her true essence infusion. As time passed, just when all the true essence in her five dantians was exhausted, the scroll suddenly shone brightly, turning into bursts of light that entered her sea of ​​consciousness.

The Ancient Forbidden God Seal, a seal scroll, has seven layers in total. It wields the power of the Seven Stars Sealing, capable of sealing demons, monsters, and even gods...

As the text dissipated, another battle image appeared in Ye Wuxi's sea of ​​consciousness: a white phantom figure whose hands traced strange patterns, forming a peerless Seven Star Dao Diagram, sealing the demon...

Ye Wuxi watched intently as the white phantom demonstrated each of the seven layers before disappearing completely.

Ye Wuxi's soul power also felt exhausted and depleted; the later layers of patterns were too complex to understand at all.

"Don't force yourself. This supernatural power contains the might of the Dao, which is not something you can learn at your current stage. You are already considered exceptionally talented if you can even unleash its initial form." Ye Xiaoxue grabbed the scroll and looked at it.

Ye Wuxi asked helplessly, "Second brother, what grade is this exactly, and how powerful is it?"

Ye Xiaoxue was amazed for a while before speaking, "This is a divine ability that surpasses the Emperor rank. With your current strength, you'd be lucky to even create a one-star Dao Diagram to temporarily seal someone's true essence, of course, that's under the condition that the difference in strength isn't too great..."

Ye Wuxi wasn't disappointed, "That's enough..."

Ye Wuxi temporarily put down the Divine Forbidden Seal and walked towards the Martial Arts Pavilion. It would be better to exchange for the Ethereal Sword Technique and a movement technique first.

After showing his core disciple identity jade token, Ye Wuxi successfully arrived at the top level. There were very few cultivation techniques and martial arts skills at the top level, and they were all Heaven-rank, but the highest level was only mid-grade Heaven-rank.

In the very center was a replica jade slip, containing the ethereal sword technique. Ye Wuxi glanced at it and frowned, saying, "Why are there only eleven sword strikes...?"

"The latter two techniques are in the hands of the sect leader and will only be passed on to the most core disciples," Elder Shouge suddenly appeared not far behind her and explained calmly.

Ye Wuxi cupped his hands in thanks. "Thank you for informing me, Elder." There are quite a few ordinary core disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect, and if this were to be revealed carelessly, it would be a significant blow.

The elder guarding the pavilion sighed softly, "The original ethereal sword technique had more than thirteen swords..."

Ye Wuxi looked over in confusion, but the elder guarding the pavilion didn't explain, instead smiling and saying, "Time is limited on the top floor, have you finished making your selections...?"

Ye Wuxi shook his head, "This disciple needs to choose another movement technique."

The elder guarding the pavilion directly pulled out a book, "There aren't many sects with such exquisite movement techniques. Ye girl, this one is most suitable for you..."

Ye Wuxi took it and examined it. It was the Divine Wind Illusionary Step, a low-grade Heavenly Rank technique, with three levels. It could create up to nine afterimages to confuse the enemy...

"Thank you, Elder. I will choose these two." The book the elder chose was indeed very suitable for her, and she had just glanced at it. The highest level of movement-type martial arts was only the lower-grade Heaven Rank.

"Rules cannot be broken, a total of 2,500 contribution points!"

Ye Wuxi didn't hesitate and handed over her identity jade token. These two books had used up all her contribution points, but it didn't matter. She probably wouldn't come to the Martial Arts Pavilion again.

"Go!"
