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

"Not bad!"

"No problem, this junior will participate in the test!"

Ye Wuxi felt much more at ease. As long as she restricted her true energy, she was confident she wouldn't die.

"I know your physical strength is quite good... but... good luck!" The golden mist smiled slightly.

"First move!"

As Jin Ying spoke, he waved his hand, and countless sharp blades converged, transforming into a greatsword that charged towards Ye Wuxi.

The Four Symbols Divine Skill was activated wildly. Ye Wuxi's body was filled with the power of the four symbols, which was mixed with the azure aura. He slashed at the greatsword in front of him with a palm.

The greatsword's power was significantly weakened, but it still struck her. Ye Wuxi let out a muffled groan, a shocking bloodstain appearing on her arm, which then began to heal at a visible speed.

"Second move!"

Jin Ying gave her no time to react, and struck out with another palm, a large golden handprint pressing down fiercely.

Ye Wuxi stepped back slightly, channeling the power of the Four Symbols to unleash a palm strike. In an instant, she was sent flying backward, spitting out blood. Her hand was numb from the impact, as if it were about to break, but fortunately, her recovery ability was quite good…

"The third move!"

With a wave of his hand, Jin Ying sent four golden feather arrows flying through the air toward Ye Wuxi.

Ye Wuxi quickly raised the Vermilion Bird Flame, covering his body with layers of cold white flames to block the arrows.

The power of the Vermilion Bird Flame is currently comparable to the attack of a ninth-level Earth Martial Realm cultivator. It is somewhat inadequate in the face of an attack of a first-level Heaven Martial Realm cultivator, but it still annihilates a portion of its power.

The arrow pierced through the flames, instantly breaking through the defense of the Four Symbols Power and sending Ye Wuxi flying.

Ye Wuxi coughed up blood again, four gruesome arrow wounds appearing on his arms. But thankfully, he survived, neither dying nor crippled…

"You're certainly taking a shortcut, but as agreed beforehand, using the Vermilion Bird Flame isn't considered a violation of the rules..."

Jin Ying withdrew his hand, a fleeting look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Thank you, senior!"

After clasping his hands in a fist salute, Ye Wuxi quickly circulated his internal energy to recover from his injuries. No matter what, this beating was well worth it...

"You seem to have a special affinity for this cultivation technique!"

"The Nine Revolutions Four Symbols Technique is the master's greatest creation, which you may not understand now..."

"I believe my master will be very pleased to pass this on to you; my mission to guard this place is finally complete. The first four stages are fine, but do not easily pass on the complete technique to others..."

Jin Ying hesitated for a moment, then gave some final instructions before extending his golden mist finger and tapping Ye Wuxi's forehead.

As streams of complex information appeared in Ye Wuxi's sea of ​​consciousness, the golden mist gradually dissipated.

After receiving the cultivation technique, Ye Wuxi was instantly pulled by a suction force and returned directly to the open area outside the abyss.

"Nine Revolutions Four Symbols Technique..." Ye Wuxi steadied himself and, after glancing at the contents of the technique, was overjoyed.

The original Four Symbols Divine Skill was only enough for her to cultivate a physical body at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Now, with the complete skill, as long as there are enough resources, she can completely become an Emperor in terms of physical body.

Suppressing his joy, Ye Wuxi put the cultivation technique aside, then soared into the air, activated his Great Flame Purple Eyes, and surveyed the surroundings.

"There's a fluctuation of sword intent..."

She couldn't pinpoint the exact location, but she could sense energy fluctuations in a general direction. Ye Wuxi enveloped herself in the aura of wind and quickly headed east.

Time passed slowly, and by the time Ye Wuxi arrived in the east, two more days had gone by.

Not far ahead of her stood a two-story palace, resembling a tower. Along the lower part of the north wall of both floors, a row of spirit swords was embedded.

The first level has many spirit swords, more than thirty in total, and many sword cultivators have gathered there. Some are standing in front of the spirit swords to observe them, while others are trying to draw them.

The second-floor hall housed fewer than ten people, with only nine spirit swords displayed. Huo Yun and Yan Jingyao were among them, along with He Yifan of the Seven Emotions Sword and Jiang Wanyi of the Flowing Cloud Sword.

Ye Wuxi was somewhat surprised as she stepped into the Sword Pavilion, "So many people..."

Upon seeing her enter, everyone became wary. Ye Wuxi twitched her lips. She wasn't a serial killer, so why were they looking at her like that?

"Only one sword can be removed from here; the ones above should be better..."

A disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect pointed to the second floor and explained. "There are only so many swords; every one taken is one less. She thinks it's best to get rid of Ye Wuxi as soon as possible."

"Thank you!"

Ye Wuxi walked straight to the second floor. There was a sword barrier at the corner, and she felt a sense of danger even before she got close. She remained fearless, unleashing several sword intents, and easily passed through the sword barrier to reach the main hall.

Inside the main hall, Huo Yun was pacing back and forth, observing, while Yan Jingyao was struggling to draw her sword. He Yifan, Jiang Wanyi, and the others were also drawing their swords.

"Senior Brother!" Ye Wuxi smiled as he approached Huo Yun, looking at the familiar faces in the main hall.

"Junior sister, why are you so late! This is a wonderful place..."

"What does this mean? This sword doesn't look like it's of very good quality..."

"The key isn't the swords themselves. Each sword here contains a set of sword techniques. Only by successfully drawing the spirit sword can you obtain..."

"After testing, each person only has one chance to draw their sword. Look how hard your Senior Sister Yan is working!"

"This is interesting!" Ye Wuxi scanned the nine spirit swords one by one.

"Junior sister, you have a good eye. Quickly help your senior brother see which sword has the best swordsmanship and is most suitable for me..." Huo Yun chuckled.

Ye Wuxi was speechless. "I don't have X-ray vision, how could I see that? That would be terrible..."

"Choose the one you're most confident about. We're all on the same side; how about we share it after we get it?"

Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow. The quality of the inheritance in this secret realm must be quite high. She wanted to start trying to cultivate other attributes, and naturally, the more high-grade sword techniques she had, the better.

"Okay!"

As the two were talking, Yan Jingyao successfully drew a sword, while He Yifan and Jiang Wanyi on the other side also drew their swords one after the other. The other two failed, being thrown back by an inexplicable force.

Suddenly, the spirit swords that Yan Jingyao and the others had drawn began to shatter rapidly. Ye Wuxi's purple eyes darted around as she observed the mystery within...

"Xi'er!" Yan Jingyao shattered all the spirit swords in her hands and returned to the two of them.

"go!"

Almost simultaneously, the spirit swords in the hands of He Yifan and Jiang Wanyi were also reduced to dust. The two hurriedly led their disciples away, their eyes filled with vigilance...

"Probably a high-grade Heaven-rank..."

Watching the group disappear quickly, as if they were being treated like thieves, Ye Wuxi shook her head. She had already made enough enemies; it wasn't worth her trying to steal from someone of this rank.

"Xi'er can tell the grade? I just acquired a water-type Heaven-rank high-grade sword technique..." Yan Jingyao was somewhat surprised to hear her words.

"When the spirit sword broke, a subtle fluctuation was emitted..."

Ye Wuxi smiled, and then, his Five Elements True Essence swirled around him, his sword intent radiating, and he made contact with and sensed the remaining swords.

"Senior brother, this sword should suit you, what do you think..."

Ye Wuxi pointed to a grayish-white sword and said, "My senior brother is very sensitive to fire attributes; I'll just provide him with a reference."

"You also think this is the one? Looks like I was right, this is it!" Huo Yun no longer hesitated and stepped forward to draw his sword.
