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

"The Zhuge Clan is not inferior. Wouldn't it be better for you to directly inherit the power of your ancestors?" Chu Jiangli asked her, puzzled.

As the only Holy Body of the Zhuge Holy Clan in this generation, Zhuge Heng's clan resources are definitely biased towards her. There are also many Great Saint ancestors in the clan. Although there are many ancestors who enter the Dao Palace Ancestral Path, they can only inherit the title of Great Saint, so it is not as suitable.

"Well... it's very difficult for my ancestors to pass away peacefully." Zhuge Heng's eyes showed a hint of embarrassment as he said somewhat awkwardly, "As you know, the methods my clan practices will eventually lead to karmic retribution and suffering..."

"It seems so." Chu Jiangli coughed twice. Simply put, even if the ancestors of the Zhuge clan had not perished outside, they would not have died peacefully, but rather would have 'courted death'.

The group quickly found suitable sacred tablets to study, while outside, in the outer heavens, the original entrance to the ancestral road passage had transformed into an ancient mirror, reflecting everything about the ancestral road and their cultivation progress.

"You all stay here and watch." King Luo glanced at them, then left with a message to the six Great Sages and disappeared.

It's fine for Ye Wuxi and Chu Jiangli to break through inside, but if others can successfully pass the Six Tribulations, they need to be baptized by the primordial energy of the Heavenly Dao, which is not suitable for them to be inside the Ancestral Road.

With only six Great Sages remaining on the mountaintop, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed. One of the Great Sages frowned and said, "Brother Jiang's choice of a King is undoubtedly talented in controlling the laws of time and possessing formidable combat power, but his cultivation level is still too low. I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to achieve any results in the end."

"In your opinion, who in the Dao Palace should be granted the title of King, or should no one be granted one?" Jiang Taibai said nonchalantly.

"Ye Wang's qualifications are beyond doubt, but our Dao Palace obviously has more than one person with the potential to be a king. Zhuge Heng is stronger overall. He is sure to enter the sixth tribulation and can break through to the seventh tribulation. If he can achieve some results as a king of the Dao Palace, wouldn't that be better for the future development of the Dao Palace?"

"It's not like you lack the qualifications. All the forces are eager for more kings. I really don't know what you're thinking."

The Great Sage looked at Jiang Taibai with puzzlement, not understanding his intention to eliminate the king.

“That’s right. In my opinion, Shangzhi is also qualified to be a king. Wouldn’t it be better for three kings to coexist?”

Another Li Dasheng snorted coldly.

“She has a point about Zhuge Heng, why are you getting involved, just because Shang Zhi is your disciple?” Jiang Dasheng didn’t even bother to look at him.

"Why can't my disciple achieve this? Even with a Dao Body undergoing nine tribulations, the Realm Lord needs to personally instruct him. What's wrong with him? Conferring a title of King isn't solely based on physique. Wasn't King Ye just an unremarkable Five Elements Dao Body? And then there's the Realm..."

Li Dasheng spoke coldly, but before he could even name the last person to give an example, he was interrupted by another Dasheng, "Brother Li, be careful what you say. Judging from the kings of each generation, Shangzhi's performance is indeed slightly inferior."

“How is it lacking…” Li Dasheng’s eyes showed a hint of annoyance, but Jiang Dasheng interrupted again: “Alright, if we really want to have some kind of three kings standing side by side, Chu Jiangli is more qualified. She can kill the Holy Body Imperial Army, can Shang Zhi do that?”

"Do you still think that the current Gu Xuan is the same as when you were in charge in the previous era? I think you've become confused from being secluded. You might as well stop watching here and go take a trip to the Nine Lands to broaden your horizons."

Li Dasheng's expression stiffened, and then another Dasheng said, "Stop arguing. It's useless to talk about being made a king now. Whoever achieves this is a part of the Dao Palace."

The Heavenly Realm fell silent for a moment, and the Great Sage, who had spoken first, asked directly, "But why did Brother Jiang choose to appoint only one king?"

The other four Great Sages couldn't help but look over. Great Sage Jiang said casually, "This generation is different. Furthermore, I have always believed that there can only be one king in a palace, and even the king of the Nine Earths and Eight Realms can only be one."

"Are you crazy? How dare you say such a thing?" The Great Sages looked at him in disbelief.

Jiang Taibai was implying that the Ye King he appointed was the true king of the Nine Lands and Eight Realms. Wouldn't that incur public wrath?

"Your reason for bestowing the title of King Du is so simple, so what makes you think that King Ye will be the final king?" a Great Sage asked doubtfully.

Jiang Taibai has always been the most cunning among them, and he doesn't play by the rules. Under his leadership, the reputation of the Dao Palace is now known as rampant.

However, it must be said that winning the boundary war and directly confronting the north has not weakened their momentum. On the contrary, it has made people hesitant to come to their door. This is a sign of prosperity that the Dao Palace did not have when they were in charge.

Or rather, if they were in charge, they might even overlook Ye Wuxi among the many extraordinary talents.

“Intuition, is there a problem? Besides, the practice of granting the title of King to the Heavenly Netherworld is also a tradition. I think it’s excellent. The Demon Palace is not without other King-granting physiques, but with the Nine Netherworlds around, who dares to compare with them?” Jiang Taibai smiled.

Of course, he didn't actually rely on intuition.

“The Nine Nether King has already grown up, but the Ye King hasn’t yet. Aren’t you being too certain and speaking too soon?” Li Dasheng looked at him as if he were a madman.

"We'll see."

Time flowed by leisurely, and the nascent form of the origin surrounding Ye Wuxi was rapidly improving. There was also a time barrier around her, which allowed her to comprehend the essence twice as long as others.

Although most of the power she cultivates can be transformed and enhanced, it still requires a vast understanding of realms to support it.

After she finished comprehending the Supreme Holy Stele, she got up and went to the foot of a holy stele on the Triple Heaven Path, where time around her was distorted once again.

The sacred monument that has not been deciphered and rendered ineffective is not merely a monument, but rather a place that suppresses an entire world.

Ye Wuxi's soul and consciousness entered the world within the monument, filled with the essence of fire. The avatar of the will left by her ancestors slowly formed as she entered.

While she was lost in her contemplation, in the main hall of Lingxiao Palace, where Jiang Sheng originally handled affairs, in front of the skylight that seemed to allow one to observe the stars, the figure of King Luo appeared.

She cast her divine spell across the Heavenly Ruins Realm, yet she could not penetrate Changqing's barrier.

"Who exactly is it?" Luo Tianwang frowned slightly. The terrifying fluctuations continued to shine towards Changqing, but only a gray haze appeared. Her perception power was swallowed up in an instant.

"What does this King Luo mean?" Gai Jiusi said somewhat speechlessly inside Emperor Ye's mansion. She thought Jiang Taibai should have explained the situation to King Luo.

It was one thing to have explored before, but to keep probing like this now is a bit impolite.

“Perhaps it’s not what she wants to know,” Gai Wanshuang said with a deep gaze.

"Who cares? Grandma is about to recover, what's a Heavenly King?" Gai Jiusi was too lazy to waste his brain thinking about such calculations.

Gai Wanshuang sighed silently at her simple-mindedness and strong limbs.

Inside the Ancestral Road, the sacred monument in front of Ye Wuxi gradually dimmed, and a seed of a great world slowly floated out from it, merging into her inner world.

The third tribulation in the semi-saint realm involves reshaping the inner world, and the sixth tribulation involves suppressing and then releasing the power to create a great world, thus fulfilling one of the conditions for becoming a saint.
