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

"To be frank, I'd like to exchange cultivation techniques with you. I have a decent body-refining technique here, and I'm open to exchanging it for other treasures. What do you think, Brother Qianfeng?" Ye Wuxi asked tentatively.

Exchanging cultivation techniques is still a bit presumptuous, since sect techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders. However, if Yao Qianfeng obtains them by chance, he will not be bound by the Heavenly Demon Sect. It all depends on whether he is willing to exchange them.

The Nine Revolutions Four Symbols Technique is of a high grade, and she promised not to easily pass it on. However, judging from Yao Qianfeng's cultivation method, she is likely to have great opportunities. If he is willing, she can offer the first seven revolutions, so that neither of them will suffer a loss.

"Are you using it for yourself or something else?" Yao Qianfeng asked, somewhat puzzled. Cultivation techniques must be tailored to one's own attributes. Ye Wuxi clearly does not have a dark attribute physique, and her own Yuan power is already strong enough. Wouldn't it be a loss to switch to cultivating demonic scriptures?

His technique might be good, but he believed it was nowhere near as strong as Ye Wuxi's.

"For personal use," Ye Wuxi said firmly, without offering any further explanation.

After pondering the matter of fusing cultivation techniques, she decided that the Demonic Scripture was the first choice, as it had powerful elemental attacks. Of course, she was not sure if she could successfully fuse and cultivate the Demonic Scripture with her physique.

“I can give it to you, but you can’t pass it on to others.” Yao Qianfeng thought for a moment and did not refuse.

"With the heart of martial arts..." Ye Wuxi nodded.

"No need, I believe you, just release your divine sense," Yao Qianfeng interrupted.

"So, do you want a body-refining technique or a treasure?" Ye Wuxi asked first, without rushing.

“Your cultivation method is not suitable for me. You should take a look at this demonic scripture first and see if you really need it before we talk about other treasures,” Yao Qianfeng said thoughtfully.

Ye Wuxi nodded and released her divine sense. Yao Qianfeng did not hesitate and directly transmitted the cultivation technique to her.

After a long while, Ye Wuxi glanced at the contents of the demonic scripture and said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is more precious than I imagined."

"The cultivation technique is not to be taken lightly, do you believe me?" Yao Qianfeng suddenly asked again.

"Of course I believe you, I have..." Ye Wuxi paused halfway through her sentence. Yao Qianfeng didn't want the cultivation technique, and she didn't seem to have any treasures that could compare to the Demon Scripture. What should she do?

As for whether he would tamper with the cultivation technique, she wasn't worried. She wasn't modifying it, but rather integrating it, which wouldn't affect the original technique. Even if something went wrong, it wouldn't have a significant impact on her.

The change of cultivation method was also very sudden. Her divine sense was strong, and Yao Qianfeng could not hide the changes from her at the last minute.

"It seems it's useful to Wuxi. What treasures does Wuxi possess?" Yao Qianfeng smiled slightly.

"Ahem... Do you want the Divine Sense Technique?" Ye Wuxi chuckled twice.

"Haven't you already read the Demon Scripture?" Yao Qianfeng shook his head firmly.

"Um... here, take these first..." Ye Wuxi glanced at the somewhat worn-out storage ring and placed the last of the Demon Blood Fruit, Mortal Demon Root, Bodhi Beads, White Jade Spirit Marrow Liquid, and other miscellaneous items on the table.

"Fine, how about I pay you back for now?" Yao Qianfeng's lips twitched.

"Alright, I'll consider this a favor." Ye Wuxi touched his nose and put away his meager belongings.

“If you are interested in cultivating the Demon Scripture, you can come to the Heavenly Demon Sect to take a look. This sound transmission mark is for you; please notify me at any time,” Yao Qianfeng said, handing over an item.

"Is the Demon Emperor going to kill me?" Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow.

The Heavenly Demon Sect is small in number and has always been mysterious. The Heavenly Demon Emperor is an unparalleled expert. It's fine if she just passes by, but she herself feels it's excessive for her to go there specifically to cultivate.

"He's terrified of the Sword Emperor, he wouldn't dare to mess with you. Don't worry, come on over," Yao Qianfeng retorted mercilessly.

"Thank you." Ye Wuxi thought for a moment and then accepted the telepathic mark.

Soon, after saying goodbye, Ye Wuxi returned to the tavern and summoned the head of the Enforcement Hall to ask, "Well, where did those people from Zhongzhou go?"

"Reporting to the Holy Maiden, the whereabouts of the imperial princes and princesses are elusive, but according to investigations, long before the two major families of Zhongzhou arrived in Qingluo Ancient City, they secretly dispatched a group of people to the Southern Territory, among whom should also be powerful figures from the Imperial Palace..."

"Southern Territory..." Ye Wuxi seemed to be deep in thought. The people from the Four Emperors' Palace arrived suddenly and left just as quickly, as did the people from the two great families of the Central Plains. Their timing and behavior were all unusual.

She had long suspected something was amiss. These people might not have come to spar at all, but rather to use the tea party and the commotion in the city to attract the attention of various powerful forces, including the Holy Sect.

Normally, if a large group of powerful individuals entered Qingzhou, it would have already aroused suspicion. However, the tea party was a mixed group of people, and everyone's attention was focused on Qingluo Ancient City, so they overlooked the unusual behavior of these people.

"Have the ten elders secretly lead men to the Burial Demon Sea to keep watch. If there is any unusual activity, notify me immediately, even if I am in seclusion," Ye Wuxi said.

The most suspicious place in the Southern Territory is the Burial Demon Sea. She has long wanted to explore it. If there are any good things in Qingzhou territory, it is not up to the people of Zhongzhou to take them away.

Moreover, the people of Zhongzhou wouldn't openly use teleportation arrays to travel, but she could. She could wait until they discovered something before taking action.

"Yes."

"The Burial Demon Sea... I want to go have some fun too." After the head of the Enforcement Hall left, Ye Lao Er came down from the third floor and said.

"No rush, Princess Meow Meow, let's discuss something." Ye Wuxi suddenly revealed a warm smile.

"Just tell me what you want, because I probably can't afford it, so there's no need to be so obsequious," Ye Lao Er said speechlessly. Once Ye Wuxi changed his form of address, it meant he needed something from him.

"Pass on to me the imperial scriptures other than those of the five elements, the more the better," Ye Wuxi said bluntly. Although he had already obtained a decent demonic scripture, he was always hoping for something even better.

"It's not even night yet, and you're already having sweet dreams?" Ye Lao Er almost vomited blood. "Do you think the Emperor's Scripture is some kind of common cabbage?"

"Just tell me if you're right or not. Didn't you used to say you were an Emperor-level expert? Turns out it was all just bragging." Ye Wuxi pouted.

"This cat has innate supernatural abilities, so why would I need other trashy cultivation techniques? But my clan's cultivation techniques don't have bloodline, so I'm telling you frankly, you can't use them."

"Just kill a few people and you'll have the Emperor's Scripture. It's obviously a fake emperor," Ye Wuxi retorted bluntly.

"I didn't even have time to do anything after becoming emperor before I was captured and sealed away," Ye Lao Er sighed, bowing his head.

"Why did you come to this continent, and who sealed you away?" Ye Wuxi frowned.

"It was just a lucky break, but I ran into a woman as soon as I arrived. She was a true powerhouse." As he mentioned this, fear appeared in Ye Lao Er's eyes.

"I am powerless to resist, but she has no ill intentions towards me. It is a good thing that she sealed me in her cat body and put me to sleep here." Ye Lao Er added silently.

"Are they from the Azure Sky Continent?"

“Those kinds of powerful individuals can come and go as they please. I’ve read the records of the Azure Sky Continent with you, and I haven’t found anyone similar to this woman yet.” Ye Lao Er shook his head.

"I'll start cultivating now. I definitely need to go to the Burial Demon Sea, and I'll also go back to the Xuan Domain to retrieve a good item."

Ye Wuxi couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it anymore. He might as well try fusing with the Demon Scripture first. Since he would have to pass through the Burial Demon Sea to return to the Xuan Domain anyway, there was no rush.
