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

Although his cultivation level was destroyed, his original physical foundation remained. At worst, he could simply start cultivating the Spirit Gathering technique again.

The original owner cultivated the Cloud Water Technique, a low-grade Xuanji water-based technique of the Ye family.

Ye Wuxi sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the Cloud and Water Technique, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly flowed into his body...

After several cycles of the Heavenly Cycle, Ye Wuxi realized the seriousness of the situation.

Within the dantian, only the light blue dantian showed a slight increase in true qi, while the other four dantians remained completely unchanged.

The Spiritual Martial Realm is a process of gathering spiritual energy to fill the dantian. Once the dantian is full, the spiritual energy is compressed into True Profound Qi and released outwards, thus reaching the Profound Martial Realm.

At her current cultivation speed, filling even one dantian would be difficult, and reaching the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm would be a challenge. It would take forever for her to break through...

"You can't do this!"

Ye Wuxi stopped cultivating and began to think. The Cloud Water Technique was a water-attribute cultivation method...

Judging from the colors of her five dantian, they likely correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. To break through her cultivation level, she would probably need to gather all five elements of spiritual energy and fill all five dantian simultaneously.

This Cloud and Water Technique is clearly not enough.

Ye Wuxi murmured, "Does this mean I have to cultivate the corresponding five elemental techniques at the same time?"

No way! Ye Wuxi thought about it and rejected the possibility again. Putting aside the fact that it would take forever to cultivate, cultivating five techniques at the same time was already against common sense, and he was afraid that he would explode and die...

"Mastering the Five Elements, grasping Yin and Yang..." Ye Wuxi murmured.

She clearly remembered that voice before she woke up, perhaps it was related to her constitution.

I tried to connect with that mysterious thing inside my body using my consciousness, but after a long time, there was still no response.

"Could it be that I'm mistaken?"

Ye Wuxi shook her head, but this was impossible.

With a determined heart, Ye Wuxi continued to communicate with the seed using her mind.

"Hey, what exactly are you?"

"You brought me here without any explanation, and you're just going to leave me here?"

"hateful!"

"You filthy seed, go to hell!"

Ye Wuxi couldn't help but curse angrily, until she herself felt tired of cursing and was about to give up.

The dark seed suddenly shone brightly, and a faint light pierced into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Suddenly, several large characters appeared in Ye Wuxi's mind: Chaos Five Elements Technique, which cannot be cultivated without a Five Elements physique.

At the pinnacle of cultivation, one can master the Five Elements, control Yin and Yang, forge a chaotic body, and possess the power to seize the creation of heaven and earth...

Ye Wuxi was overjoyed. Although the cultivation technique did not specify its grade, the name alone indicated that it was tailor-made for her physique.

This technique is divided into nine chapters, but after Ye Wuxi finished reading the first chapter, there was no more. It was as if there was a barrier to continue...

Could things get any more ridiculous? Ye Wuxi was speechless. Perhaps he wanted her to take it slow; haste makes waste. Maybe he could only obtain the second part of the technique after he had mastered the first part…

The first chapter covers the basic methods of absorbing spiritual energy.

Calming himself, Ye Wuxi adopted a serious expression, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the first chapter of the cultivation technique.

In no time, spiritual energy of five different attributes converged upon her in the void, and then orderly returned to her five dantian.

Time passed slowly as Ye Wuxi remained immersed in her cultivation until dusk fell, at which point she slowly opened her eyes.

"First level of the Spirit Martial Realm," Ye Wuxi murmured with a joyful expression.

This technique can absorb spiritual energy of the five elements simultaneously, and the speed at which it absorbs spiritual energy far surpasses that of the Cloud and Water Technique. In less than a day, she broke through to the next level. At this rate, her cultivation will soon return to her previous Profound Martial Realm...

"Miss, the General requests your presence in the main hall!" A knock came at the door.

Ye Wuxi said calmly, "I understand."

Following the route he remembered, Ye Wuxi headed towards the council hall, but along the way he encountered many strange looks.

"What a pity..."

"Yes, a once-promising genius has now become a good-for-nothing..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Even if she's crippled, she's still the general's daughter."

"Hmph, so what? Strength speaks for itself. Does she still think she's the same pampered young lady she used to be!"

"The general's daughter is a useless person who can't cultivate, what a disgrace to the Ye family!"

Hearing the mocking words of the crowd, Ye Wuxi smiled calmly. Whether she was a genius or a good-for-nothing, time would tell! And no matter what these people said, it would not affect her state of mind!

In the hall, Ye Xicheng, the head of the Ye family, and his wife Chen Shuhui sat at the head of the table, while the elders and heads of the Ye family sat at the foot of the table.

Under the scrutinizing gazes of the crowd, Ye Wuxi walked into the hall without changing her expression, cupping her hands in greeting, "Father, Mother."

Ye Xicheng smiled and said, "Xi'er is here. She's not fully recovered yet, so come and sit down next to your parents."

A warmth flashed in Ye Wuxi's eyes. In her previous life, her parents divorced and each started their own families. They treated her as a burden and didn't want to care for her. She had never experienced any family affection.

Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui were extremely kind to her. Even after she became a cripple, they treated her the same as before. In any case, she would treat them as her own parents from now on...

After Ye Wuxi sat down next to Chen Shuhui, she asked with a smile, "Father, Mother, what's wrong?"

Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui both looked rather unwell. Chen Shuhui held her hand, a forced smile playing on her lips.

Ye Xicheng then looked at the middle-aged man in the room who did not belong to the Ye family and said coldly, "What did Prime Minister Qin send you here for? You can tell me now."

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and smiled, "General Ye, I'm here to deliver the letter of annulment."

The Ye family members looked at each other in dismay. With Ye Wuxi crippled, they had no hope for the marriage, but they never expected the annulment to come so quickly. Once this news got out, the Ye family would be utterly disgraced!

Ye Xicheng said angrily, "Is this Prime Minister Qin's idea, or that brat Qin Hao's idea?"

The middle-aged man said, "General Ye, please calm down. My master and young master had no choice. Miss Ye's cultivation was crippled, and my young master originally wanted to insist on the marriage out of affection. However, after the Empress learned of this, she ordered that the young master marry the princess. It's difficult to disobey the imperial decree..."

Chen Shuhui sneered, "So you've climbed the social ladder, huh? Back then, it was your young master who begged Xi'er to marry you, and that's why we agreed to the marriage. Now that Xi'er has been harmed by villains, is your Qin family so eager to sever ties?"

The middle-aged man said, "Madam, please be careful with your words. All of this is the decree of His Majesty and the Empress, and certainly not the young master's own intention."

Chen Shuhui exuded an aura of Earth Martial Realm power and coldly snorted, "Don't try to intimidate me with His Majesty's name!"

The middle-aged man's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat. He lowered his head and said no more. The Ye family was not to be trifled with!

Ye Wuxi gave Chen Shuhui a reassuring smile and then stood up.

She walked up to the middle-aged man and said calmly, "Where's the annulment letter?"

The middle-aged man quickly took it out of his pocket and handed it to her.

Ye Wuxi tore it to shreds without even glancing at it.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shuhui quickly said, "Xi'er, you..."

Ye Wuxi smiled and said, "It's alright. I never intended to have this marriage anyway, so it's fine if we call it off."

Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui exchanged a glance, assuming the girl was just barely holding on. They both knew that she had previously been very fond of the Qin family's young master.
