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

Ye Wuxi felt helpless. The Realm Lord's actions had completely unsettled everyone, making them face reality only to offer a sweet treat, giving them something to look forward to.

"Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. All the hidden geniuses of the major families and forces should stop hiding them. All eligible talents from the Nine Lands and Eight Realms must undergo preliminary screening by the nineteen dominant forces before they can participate."

"After obtaining the admission ticket, you can either go to Shenzhou on your own or set off together with the main force of Dao Palace."

"This matter will still be handled by Taibai, and you will also preside over the upcoming competition," Luo Yanran said calmly.

"Yes." Jiang Dasheng responded and stood up, saying loudly, "This palace competition is divided into three major battle zones: low, medium, and high tribulations, with a total of nine battle stages. Each stage has an initial champion, corresponding to the cultivation levels from the first to the ninth tribulation. Other disciples can go and challenge them on their own to demonstrate their strength. Outstanding disciples from various forces who have not yet entered the Dao Palace can also go up on stage to fight."

"I won't go into the benefits of outstanding performance. There are also many disciples who are just one step away from entering the sixth tribulation. We must seize this opportunity. The few with the strongest overall abilities will have the chance to enter the Dao Palace Holy Road Secret Realm for baptism and improvement."

"The Sacred Path Secret Realm?" Ye Wuxi was wondering if she could enter when she saw Chu Jiangli and Zhuge Heng step onto the battle stage after hearing Jiang Dasheng recite the name of the champion.

One defended the title for three eons, the other for five.

"Um...aren't these two going up there a bit too much of a bully?" Ye Wuxi was taken aback. Both Senior Sister and Zhuge Heng were at the King level, and in the two major battle zones of low and medium tribulation within the palace, they should undoubtedly be invincible.

As she looked towards the Nine Tribulations Battle Platform, Luo Yanran's voice came to her, "Wu Xi, come here."

"Lord of the Realm." Ye Wuxi quickly came to the foot of the Holy King's throne and bowed slightly.

“I already know about you from Taibai. You are quite good. You have not disgraced the name of the King of Tianxu. You killed four Holy Bodies by yourself. You did something I never dared to dream of before.”

"Seven years is a short time for others. For those high-level kings, it will be a time to calm down and seek stability, ensuring they don't perish or get hurt, which gives them a chance to win. But I hope you will try your best to break through, catch up with the sixth level of tribulation, and seize that final ancestral fortune."

Luo Yanran spoke, not through telepathy, but her voice could only be heard by the two of them.

"Seven years and three tribulations..." Ye Wuxi smiled bitterly as she listened to her words. She herself was not very confident that she could live to see that great era, and it was hard to believe that Luo Yanran, whom she had just met, trusted her so much.

"The Holy Path Secret Realm will be entered by you, Jiang Li, and Zhuge Heng. Breaking through the first tribulation quickly will not be a problem. As for the opportunity to break through the next two tribulations, it is not entirely out of the question."

"As you know, besides you, there are many kings in the Nine Lands who are at the third or fourth level of tribulation. They will never give up and will seize every opportunity to strive for improvement. With an opportunity like that of Mount Futu, another two tribulations in five years is not impossible."

Luo Yanran rarely showed such an approachable smile as she looked at her and said.

"The Realm Lord is right." Ye Wuxi thought for a moment and regained some fighting spirit.

She didn't want to miss the opportunity to become a saint as soon as possible, otherwise the kings of the North and even Canglan would quickly leave her behind.

She also wanted to see for three days what made those privileged children born with a silver spoon in their mouths so different.

During these seven years, those high-level kings will likely indeed fall into obscurity as Luo Yanran said. Like the Ming King and the Xuanyuan King, even if they still want to kill her, they will choose to retreat without a fight, waiting for seven years to ensure stability and avoid making mistakes.

The absence of these high-level kings gave these kings, whose cultivation was slightly lower, an opportunity.

For the time being, the Nine Lands and Eight Realms will remain the battleground for the mid-level tribulation kings.

"Do you have any doubts about the age requirements for core disciples in the palace?" Seeing that she understood, Luo Yanran immediately smiled and changed the subject. Ye Wuxi's every move had not escaped her perception.

"Are the requirements different from the usual annual grand competition?" Ye Wuxi asked, scratching his head.

At present, almost all the core disciples of the Dao Palace have gathered, but there are fewer Nine Tribulation disciples than she imagined. They can be counted on one hand, and their ages are almost over five hundred years old, so they will not be able to participate in the grand event seven years later.

"That's right. The requirements for core disciples of the semi-saints in the palace were originally set according to the usual competition. However, when the Ancestral Platform for Conferring Saints appeared, the definition of young geniuses became more stringent. As you have seen, there are many extraordinary beings and many kings in this generation. The usual standards are no longer applicable. The idea of ​​becoming a saint in a thousand years is not even considered genius in this generation."

"As for the high tribulations, the nine tribulations are indeed difficult to achieve. Even with my cultivation, I cannot help a semi-saint genius grow up by force. If one tribulation is not passed perfectly and the foundation is not stable, it will affect the future growth."

Luo Yanran said calmly.

"What is this opportunity for cultivation in the Three Heavens that the Realm Lord mentioned?"

"There are supreme temples in the Three Heavens. Every ten thousand years, each temple takes turns to host a grand competition to absorb fresh geniuses into the temple. It is also a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for the Nine Earths and Eight Realms to ascend to the heavens. This special ninety thousand years is hosted by the Azure God Temple."

Luo Yanran said meaningfully.

"If that's the case, then the Dao Palace should still have powerful cultivators practicing in the Divine Temple?" Ye Wuxi asked, puzzled.

In a world where time is of the essence, the Heavenly Saint Dao Palace and other dominant forces have accumulated over such a long period of time. She doesn't believe that there isn't a single disciple chosen by the temple. Why would the ancient Tuoba clan, with its long-standing heritage, be afraid of mortal immortals?

Or rather, the dominant forces of the Nine Lands and Eight Realms should all be connected with the Temple.

"According to custom, the temple only selects ten people as its core members for the Grand Competition. Ten people are chosen every ten thousand years, so the competition is extremely fierce. These ten people are only comparable to the geniuses of the Three Heavens themselves, and they may not receive full attention. The others who are not core members are even less noticeable."

"Just like the Ascension Dao Battle in my Heavenly Ruins Realm, among those who achieved success alongside Wuxi, who are still recognizable and influential today?"

"Those who can achieve success and fame by entering the Three Heavens and the Divine Temple, their relationship with their original forces is just like how you see Dongling Academy now. You will no longer think about returning to Dongling to dominate, and you will not have any special connection with Dongling Academy. However, with your name, before the next generation of monstrous geniuses emerges, it is enough to ensure that your relatives and friends in Dongling are safe and that no one dares to offend you."

Upon careful consideration, Ye Wuxi realized that this was indeed the case. When she travels around now, she rarely mentions Dongling or even Changqing. It's not that she dislikes their background, but rather that she wants to reduce some trouble for their original forces.

Luo Yanran paused for a moment, then continued, "Ten thousand years is not a short time. Apart from the thousand years after the arrival of the golden age when things are more active, the forces in the three heavens, the various temples, and the geniuses chosen by the temples will gradually fade away in the Nine Earths and Eight Realms until the next golden age arrives and they are mentioned again."
