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

Chen Shuhui took out a bottle of pills from her bosom and said with a smile, "Xi'er, now that your dantian has recovered, your parents are relieved. Here are two Spirit Gathering Pills for you to take. Try to recover your cultivation as soon as possible. The Grand Competition is in three months... If you can make it in time..."

Ye Xicheng glanced at her disapprovingly. Breaking through from the first to the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm in three months was unheard of; why hurt Xi'er's feelings with such words?

"Xi'er, focus on your cultivation. The matter of the Wind Spirit Sect can wait until next time."

Ye Wuxi accepted the pills, her heart warming. Spirit Gathering Pills were incredibly valuable, and the Ye family would never normally give her any more. These two must have been acquired by her parents through considerable effort and their own money.

"Father, Mother, don't worry, your daughter will definitely be able to join the Wind Spirit Sect this year." Reaching the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm is not a difficult task for her.

After the two left, Ye Wuxi did not rush to take the pill, but continued to practice her swordsmanship.

The dense barrage of sword light slashed across the ground, leaving it riddled with holes, only sword marks of varying depths visible.

This sword technique, which no one in the Ye family had even mastered the first move of, Ye Wuxi mastered in less than half a day: the Sunset Slash.

Sheathing his sword, Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow. Could it be that he was a genius after all?

Wandering the world with a sword—how carefree! She had already made up her mind to focus primarily on swordsmanship from now on.

It seems I might actually have a talent for swordsmanship.

Ye Wuxi silently contemplated her "confidence" for a while before returning to her room. Confidence was fine, but arrogance was not.

It is said that one Spirit Gathering Pill can help someone below the fifth level of the Spirit Martial Realm break through to the next level. A second pill's effect is halved. Furthermore, pills have both advantages and disadvantages; they should not be taken in large quantities. Taking pills to advance one's realm can easily lead to an unstable foundation.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Wuxi popped one into her mouth, and a surge of pure medicinal power seeped into her entire body.

After a while, she still hadn't broken through. Not only that, but even after taking a Spirit Gathering Pill, the true energy in her five dantians hadn't increased at all.

"Damn it! You're a vampire!" Ye Wuxi couldn't help but curse.

"This is priceless, yet it hasn't even made a ripple in my hands! This is outrageous!"

Ye Wuxi refused to believe it, took out another one and put it in her mouth. This time, she focused her consciousness on her dantian and carefully observed it.

The medicinal power spread throughout her body, and Ye Wuxi couldn't help but widen her eyes, because the pure medicinal power flowed directly into that dark, seed-like thing.

"It's you again!" Ye Wuxi gritted her teeth and said. What on earth is this thing? It can even consume spiritual herbs.

Despite swallowing two Spirit Gathering Pill seeds, there was no change whatsoever; the seeds remained lifelessly rooted in the center of her dantian.

Ye Wuxi couldn't help but roll her eyes. "It's good that there's some change, but you're different!"

As if he had given the two pills to a dog, Ye Wuxi calmed himself down, circulated the Chaos Five Elements Technique, and continued his cultivation.

With a vampire like this around, what can she do? Forget about pills to increase her cultivation level; they'll probably all end up in its belly. She's not destined to lie down and relax; she'd better just focus on cultivating!

Each subsequent breakthrough requires an exponential increase in spiritual energy. Even with such a heaven-defying cultivation technique, breaking through her five dantians wouldn't be easy.

For five consecutive days, Ye Wuxi practiced both cultivation and swordsmanship, finally reaching the third level of the Spirit Martial Realm and mastering the second move of the Azure Sky Sword Technique, Flowing Light and Shadow.

"Perhaps it would be better to go out and gain some experience," Ye Wuxi murmured. Besides, she had a guess about this cultivation technique, and she wouldn't find the answer by staying at home.

Having made up her mind, she didn't set off immediately. Instead, she picked up the Shadow Step technique that the original owner had practiced.

The Shadow Step is a low-grade Xuanji movement technique. Once mastered, it allows one to move as fast as a blur.

When you're out and about, it's always good to have some basic agility skills.

Several hours later, a graceful young woman in white, her steps light and quick, left a trail of afterimages in the courtyard…

Ye Wuxi did not stop. Instead, she unleashed the second move, Flowing Light Sword Shadow, with countless sword shadows flashing across the sky, as fast as lightning.

A moment later, a powerful aura filled the air, and a branch of a large tree in the courtyard was suddenly severed...

A look of surprise flashed across Ye Wuxi's face; the combination of the Shadow Step and the Azure Sky Sword Technique was quite good.

Thinking of the sudden surge of power just now, Ye Wuxi's eyes showed some doubt. With this feeling in mind, she began to practice the third move of the Azure Sky Sword Technique, the Sword of Death.

After a short while, Ye Wuxi stopped, shook his head, and realized that this Death Sword was not perfect, as if something was missing...

Ten days later, Ye Wuxi quietly opened her eyes in bed. "It's time to go out and see the world."

She has now broken through to the fourth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, and has also become proficient in using some techniques of the Azure Sky Sword Technique. She can fight against someone at the ninth level of the Spirit Martial Realm and still has the ability to protect herself.

After giving instructions to Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui, Ye Wuxi changed into a black outfit, put on a veiled hat to avoid being seen, and quietly left the imperial city with a Thousand Miles Snow horse.

The Xuan Yin Mountains are a massive mountain range located several hundred miles outside the imperial city of Tianfeng Kingdom, covering an area of ​​five hundred miles in circumference, with high mountains and dense forests.

The mountains are home to numerous demonic beasts and also grow many spiritual herbs. Many martial artists from the Tianfeng Kingdom like to go there, hoping to find a few spiritual herbs if they are lucky.

Ye Wuxi also planned to try her luck; the spiritual energy required for her five dantians was simply too enormous, and she needed to think of a solution.

A day later, Ye Wuxi arrived at the foot of the Xuan Yin Mountain Range. It was here that she had agreed to train with Qin Hao, which was why she had her cultivation destroyed and lost her life.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuxi's eyes turned cold. She was determined to fight Qin Hao, but Qin Hao was now at least at the second level of the Xuanwu realm, and she was no match for him for the time being...

Looking up, the massive Xuan Yin Mountain Range resembled a colossal beast crouching on the ground, exuding an invisible aura of ferocity.

Without hesitation, Ye Wuxi lifted her foot and darted into the mountains.

Running through the dense forest, Ye Wuxi soon ventured ten miles into the Xuan Yin Mountains. Towering trees were everywhere, their branches so thick they blocked out the sun, preventing even sunlight from penetrating.

"Roar!" Just then, a giant black wolf suddenly pounced out, blocking Ye Wuxi's path.

"The Yin Wind Wolf, a level one, first-level demonic beast!"

Equivalent to the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm in humans, Ye Wuxi retrieved information about demonic beasts from his memories.

However, she didn't take this level of demonic beast seriously.

Ye Wuxi's expression remained unchanged. He stomped his foot and flew over the Yin Wind Wolf's head. He circulated his Five Elements True Qi and unleashed a powerful Falling Flower Palm strike towards the Yin Wind Wolf's head.

The next moment, before the Yin Wind Wolf could even utter a sound, blood splattered and brains gushed out; it was dead beyond any doubt.

Ye Wuxi calmly watched this scene. She was very adaptable; she felt she had already adapted to this dog-eat-dog world, and was even a little excited!

Walking over to the corpse, he pulled a gray crystal from the shattered skull. It was the demon core of the Yin Wind Wolf. Although its grade wasn't high, it was still worth ten taels of silver...

Ye Wuxi smiled slightly, holding the demon core, and casually tossed it into his storage pouch before continuing on his way.
