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

"But there are still ways, right? For example, the Taiyin Clan must have a way."

Ye Wuxi frowned as she listened to her somewhat uncertain words.

The Supreme Being of Gods tapped the table lightly with his aged hand for a long time before speaking softly: "I know of two paths. First, establish a close relationship with this Ayu, which is to establish a relationship with the stone embryo. If she is willing to transform herself into flesh and blood, she can restore the stone embryo, and only the person closest to her can refine it."

"For a child born from the womb, the first person they see is very important. They will be considered to be someone with whom they are connected by blood. According to the young master, you and Xiao Yihan were the first to gain their approval. The Taiyin Clan will choose this path, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

"Secondly, there is a divine weapon in the world that can forcibly strip away flesh and blood to restore the stone embryo." Shen Wu paused slightly, then uttered four words in a deep voice, "The Temple of Heavenly Mandate."

The air suddenly seemed to freeze. For some reason, Ye Wuxi suddenly felt like she was being watched again, as if an invisible hand was orchestrating things for her.

After thinking for a long time, she looked at Bei Mingyue with slight hesitation, "Does Teacher need it?"

Regardless, Ayu had already taken human form; she was no longer a cold, lifeless cultivation resource stone embryo, but a living saint right before her.

If she could refine it on the first meeting, that would be fine; she would act without hesitation. But there needs to be a process of getting close. Once they are truly close, how can she just watch it transform on its own?

However, if she were to be taken by the Heavenly Mandate Temple and refined by other Heavenly Venerables, it would not only increase the number of opponents for her teacher and Nantian, but also increase the danger for herself.

In her heart, her teacher and Nantian were still more important. If her teacher found it useful, she would immediately send Ayu back to Nantian.

"Xiao Ye, let nature take its course. A born Supreme Saint King has a vast space for cultivation and will soon become a Venerable. His growth will also be an aid to Nantian."

“The stone body is not a necessity for me, and I know it is not the same for you.”

"The path to godhood is not something that a stone embryo can decide."

Bei Mingyue said calmly, not showing much emotion towards the strange embryo. The stone embryo had indeed taken shape, and she could not force it to be refined.

She couldn't do the same as Ye Wuxi: get close to someone before refining. After all, that innate saint could sense whether someone was sincere or not. They couldn't get the stone embryo with a fake intention, and they couldn't refine it against their will with a sincere intention.

“Then I’ll keep her with me for now. As long as the Supreme One doesn’t come out, Ayu herself is exceptionally strong, so she shouldn’t be in too much danger. On the contrary, she’ll be a great help.” Ye Wuxi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Bei Mingyue suddenly waved her hand, enveloping her under the Milky Way of the old locust tree, leaving only the two of them.

"Doesn't the teacher trust Senior Swallowing Moon?"

"I believe in the Tiger Clan, but some things are better left unsaid." Bei Mingyue looked up at the rolling, colorful Milky Way and said softly, "Little Ye, even a rare embryo is hard to form in an era. Aren't you surprised that I could see it, and that the Supreme God knows more than the Tiger Clan Supreme, whose lineage is even more ancient?"

“I said earlier that this is not the key to becoming a god, nor was it an arrogant speculation.”

"Did the invincible senior leave something behind?" Ye Wuxi could only think of that supreme being who was once famous throughout the Milky Way.

“That’s right, your Five Elements constitution is formed from the Five-Colored Stone. What do you think this Five-Colored Stone is?” Bei Mingyue turned to stare at her.

"Could the Five-Colored Stone be a kind of Dao Embryo?" Ye Wuxi suddenly realized. She had previously thought that the Five-Colored Stone was a rare item from a forbidden area, just like the Divine Tree, and had not investigated its wonders.

"The Heavenly Birth Platform is a wondrous place where Yin and Yang converge, and stone embryos are born. The Fallen God's Forbidden Land is an even more wondrous but deadly place. Dao embryos are even rarer than stone embryos. Wudi, who stepped into the demigod realm, obtained the Five Elements Dao Embryos, but still failed to ascend to godhood as he wished."

"So I was already carrying a strange fetus without even realizing it." Ye Wuxi took a breath.

However, the things inside her body had already been refined by Wudi and suffered the calamity of the Great Tribulation of Return to the Void. Both the divine tree and the Dao embryo were damaged and needed to grow along with her.

A long cry of a celestial phoenix echoed through the heavens and earth, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the saints of the Fire God Palace perished together, pulling Ye Wuxi out of the connection with his avatar.

She was in perfect harmony with her avatar and knew some of the information, but her expression remained unchanged, as if she had been observing the battle all along.

"What's going on with King Ye and King Xiao?" Mu Chenyu asked casually as she arrived with the Ice Phoenix and the other two immortals, glancing at the two saints whose atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Neither of them seemed inclined to answer. Ye Wuxi smiled and simply waved the divine jade into the hands of the three saints.

"Thank you, King Ye." Mu Chenyu didn't ask any more questions after seeing this. The three saints of Pudu Palace and the Holy King of the Temple of Light then arrived, and all the generals of the Thunder God Temple were dealt with.

After Ye Wuxi distributed the divine jades, he exchanged glances with Xiao Yihan. It was clear that something was going on between the two saints, and the other saint kings tactfully withdrew.

Xiao Yihan re-established the barrier, his voice naturally carrying a chill, "I've heard that King Ye has never been defeated and is invincible among those of the same realm. Only the Great Sage can now challenge him."

"Is the God King planning to forcibly seize it?" Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow.

"No."

"I have long heard of the great name of the God King Yi, and I have never been defeated by him when we are in the same realm."

"No, I did defeat a Saint, but no one knows it." Xiao Yihan calmly admitted, revealing a name, "Little Fairy."

"so?"

"Let's have a fair fight. Whether Ye Wang wins or loses, I will give you a promise. In addition, the Taiyin Clan will make way for your activities in the Great Western Heaven Realm and will not help any temple. If you lose, you will give up the Heavenly Saint. Does Ye Wang dare to do that?"

"Does the God King think his empty promises can compare to Ayu's?" Ye Wuxi stared at her, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Xiao Yihan must have noticed the teacher's spying earlier. Even after she knew how important Ayu was, she still dared to exchange her for just a promise. It has to be said that she was very bold and frighteningly confident.

"I think it's possible," Xiao Yihan said confidently.

"I believe in you, I accept this battle." Ye Wuxi's smile suddenly vanished.

The sound barrier, which could only be heard by the two saints, shattered with a deafening roar. The distance between the two saints on their celestial journey increased, the air currents of heaven and earth became chaotic, and dark clouds churned.

"What exactly did these two say to each other? Why did they suddenly start fighting?"

The saints gazed at the two white-clad figures in the sky, frowned in thought, and then retreated even further, sensing that this battle was no ordinary one.

"Xiao Yihan is extremely strong. Ye Wang may not be able to win this battle despite being of a higher level." Mu Chenyu muttered to herself. She possessed the Immortal Phoenix Body and had briefly clashed with Xiao Yihan before. She was probably no match for him.

Xiao Yihan's Taiyin Body awakens the most ancient Taiyin Divine Blood, possessing exceptionally terrifying energy.

“I believe Ye Wang will win again,” Xia Qingzhu said calmly from the side.

“You know Ye Wang, don’t you? I noticed it a long time ago.” Mu Chenyu looked at her and chuckled. “If you had carefully read the ancient books of our clan, you should know that my Ice Phoenix Clan and the Temple have never been on the same side.”

“I know that, but the Phoenix Clan…” Xia Qingzhu frowned, thinking about the clan and Mu Chenyu’s purpose in being born, as well as the place she was really going to, and couldn’t help but feel worried.

The Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan are at odds. Last time in the east, the Phoenix Clan was clearly on the side of those temples.

"We've already parted ways, so how can we just reunite? We're not on the same path as the Phoenix Clan," Mu Chenyu murmured, then fell silent.
