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

The six of them came out of the boundary pavilion and then strolled around for a while.

There is a vast academy containing supernatural techniques and classic texts introducing various main realms, as well as a trial tower that leads to various trial realms and also displays information about some new ruins.

"The Hall of Laws and the Hall of Dao are very important. They contain many innate and acquired stone carvings of laws and Dao power, which are used to comprehend and enhance one's laws and Dao power."

The group entered the Hall of Laws, which has ten floors. They could enter the corresponding floor based on the level and pattern of their tokens.

"Each floor is divided into two areas. One side contains permanent stone carvings that can only be left inside the hall and can be studied by many people. These are generally formed innately and their power does not dissipate."

"The other area contains one-time stone carvings for disciples to take away. These are mostly left by powerful beings who have achieved mastery. They require the disciple's physical strength to be compatible with the stone carving and to react with it before they can be taken away and used. After comprehending the stone carving, its power will disappear, but it is more effective in enhancing the strength of the laws."

“The main realm is indeed different…” Ye Wuxi and Chu Jiangli exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.

Obtaining even a fragment of law in the lower realm is a once-in-a-century opportunity, but in the Law Palace, there are piles of them available for immediate use.

"You can try to sense it first. The maximum number you can take from each floor is limited according to your status level," Xu Jing said with a smile.

All six of them had ten-pattern gold tokens and went directly to the tenth floor. The number of stone carvings here was significantly less than those below, but they were all of the highest quality.

Ye Wuxi glanced at the innate stone carving area from afar. The shapes were roughly the same, and some powerful figures were sitting cross-legged, quietly comprehending their inner thoughts. They were all experts from the Emperor Ranking.

As the six of them stepped into the Houtian area, more figures and voices of discussion appeared, including Baili Che and Meng Ruoyao, who were also there making their selections.

"Only those stone carvings that are responsive can be picked up smoothly. You two can only take away a maximum of six every three years," the gatekeeper reminded them, glancing at the differences between Ye Wuxi's and Chu Jiangli's tokens.

"As for the two of you, you can only take three pieces," she said, looking at Pei Zhou and Shen Yun Ning.

Although they are all ten-pattern tokens, they are divided into three levels, corresponding to the quantities of one, three, and six.

"Don't worry about the small quantity. The tenth layer is very precious. It's not easy to trigger a reaction. If you go down there, you can take more with you. New stone carvings will appear every now and then. Whether you want to use up all your chances at once is up to you."

An Sheng said with a smile.

"Let's give it a try." Ye Wuxi walked past the rows of stone carvings with great interest. Compared to the innate area, their shapes were incredibly diverse, ranging from tall stone tablets to spheres and stones...

Each stone carving was not marked with any instructions, but simply numbered. Most of them were collected by the Taoist temple from various ancient ruins and battlefields, as well as left by ancient sages.

The first ten law stone carvings are relatively dim, full of traces of time, and seem to have been placed there for a long time, with very few people sensing them.

The six of them dispersed, each searching and sensing their own area. Chu Jiangli directly locked onto the second stone carving, which no one else was sensing, and closed his eyes, covering his palm with his hand.

Xu Jing and An Sheng were looking at some new stone carvings.

Even those in the Emperor Realm must cultivate and perfect the laws, at least mastering one main branch of laws to the extreme and merging with the Dao.

Ye Wuxi walked around and returned to the No. 1 stone carving. Li Murong had just withdrawn his sensing hand, and his eyes were somewhat confused.

“Miss Ye, would you like to give it a try? It is said that this stone carving has been here for five thousand years, and no one has ever sensed it or taken it.” Li Murong stepped aside and said with a frown.

The senior sister who brought them here had already given a preliminary introduction to the stone carvings here. Numbers one through ten are all extraordinary pieces and have been placed here for quite some time.

"You must have sensed something, why don't you give it a try?" Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow at her.

The first stone carving is a white sphere. She felt a sense of familiarity with it, which is why she decided to give it a try.

However, she had fought with Li Murong and possessed a very powerful and unique control over the power of time. Judging from her expression, she was not completely unaffected, and it was perhaps still somewhat related to his laws.

"It's vague and indistinct, so it probably doesn't suit me. I just glanced at it, and I feel a stronger connection with Number Six."

Li Murong gave a nonchalant smile and turned to walk to the deserted No. 6 stone carving.

Ye Wuxi already had a guess in his heart. Immediately, the power of the law surged in his palm and covered the No. 1 stone carving.

If none of the laws she controlled could stir up the stone carving, then there is only one last possibility.

"The Star Tower, the mysterious power of the eighth level, time, is it?" Ye Wuxi took a breath and quietly channeled the power of the Star Tower within her body into the stone carving.

Gradually, the stone carving was covered with a layer of white light, drawing Ye Wuxi's will into another world.

Like the eighth floor of the Star Tower, that mesmerizing world of white light, but the power of the stone carvings was much gentler.

After becoming empress, she would occasionally go to the mysterious eighth level to observe and comprehend. Before the Dao War, she had already glimpsed a trace of the secret of time.

The Star Tower itself is a divine tower that can change the flow of time. Even they, and even the monkey from before, had guessed that the eighth floor might be related to the secrets of time or the power of stars.

But the more you try to understand it with this mindset, the easier it is to get lost in it.

After returning from comprehending the rudimentary form of Dao power in Changqing, she tried to abandon the concept of time, and was able to stay on the eighth floor for a period of time.

Forget about time, yet glimpse time.

Ye Wuxi was so engrossed in the stone carving that he unknowingly picked it up and held it in his hand, and while the iron was hot, he tried to break through the barrier of the temporal realm.

The power of the eighth level of the Star Tower is still too vast and not suitable for comprehending the basics of time.

Time is fleeting. As the first and most powerful law, she doesn't expect to step into the law in one step. At least she should first understand its meaning and grow slowly.

"She actually sensed something from this stone carving." Even the top experts on the Emperor Ranking in the hall were startled and looked over.

"This woman is the number one in this year's Dao Battle, she is indeed quite different."

The steward guarding the counter at the entrance of the hall looked over in surprise. This stone carving was passed down from Lingxiao Palace. Not to mention the disciples of the Emperor Realm, even those half-saints or saints could not figure it out.

Suddenly, another surge of power appeared, and the dim stone carving number two, which Chu Jiangli held in his hand, shone brightly.

"Another one. The first and second stone carvings, which no one could contact or sense in the past, were picked up so easily one after another." The disciples were astonished.

It's not enough to simply cultivate the corresponding laws to make the stone carving react; one must be in perfect harmony with the will within the stone carving.

“It’s different. Otherwise, how could he have chosen Sister Mu as his mentor at first glance…” Xu Jing and An Sheng also stopped to observe the stone carvings, exchanged a glance, and said with great interest.

Immediately afterwards, the long-hidden No. 6 stone carving lit up again and was held in Li Murong's hand.

"I've heard that this year's Dao Battle is quite strong, the strongest ever, and it seems to be true."

The emperors sighed, realizing they hadn't underestimated Ye Wuxi and his few mere new disciples at the Emperor Realm.

Only a little over a hundred people can reach the tenth floor, and they are mostly top-ranked experts from the Emperor Ranking. New faces will basically only be the top ten in the Ascension Realm Battle.

Those who are recommended to enter the Ziwei Palace generally do not receive a ten-pattern gold token.
