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

"It might be better to incorporate the newly learned sword technique into it."

Once he had an idea, Ye Wuxi immediately began. As for the move "Laughing at the Vast Waves and Crossing the River," it was a wide-range killing move, and it could be combined with other sword moves of the same nature in the future to enhance its power.

Seeing that she had a new idea, Ye Xicheng quietly withdrew. The younger generation surpasses the older generation. In terms of swordsmanship, he was far inferior to his daughter. Today, watching Ye Wuxi's sword strike, he actually gained some insights.

The fusion of the two sword techniques was undoubtedly a huge undertaking, and Ye Wuxi pondered it for a long time before he finally got a clue.

Another ten days passed, and Ye Wuxi's newly renovated courtyard fell into disrepair again. The walls and the ground were covered with sword marks of varying depths, which made Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui, who were watching from a distance, sigh.

"Well, it's all for nothing that this courtyard was built in vain."

Ye Wuxi's face was full of excitement. The Drunken Slash of the Long River and Burning Heaven Sword, which incorporated the new sword move, was much stronger than before.

"Father, Mother, would you like to come and experience it for yourselves?"

"Xi'er, let's practice your moves together."

Chen Shuhui leaped into the courtyard and stood there, sword in hand.

"All right!"

Ye Wuxi held up the Azure Rainbow Sword, concentrated, and swung it out. A strong wind suddenly arose in the courtyard, and the sword's momentum soared into the sky.

Chen Shuhui's eyes narrowed slightly. Being surrounded by this sword felt completely different from when she was just observing. She could actually sense a dangerous aura from this sword.

Gathering all her true energy, Chen Shuhui dared not be careless and quickly swung her sword several times to block the endless sword light.

"Xi'er, I believe that your sword strike has exceeded the power of a high-grade Xuan-level weapon."

Ye Xicheng, who was not far away, also flew into the courtyard and exclaimed in admiration.

Ye Wuxi nodded in satisfaction. This sword strike was equivalent to four combined moves, plus the combination of three sword intents. Its power was indeed comparable to a low-grade earth-level sword technique. Moreover, it was extremely compatible with the true qi of her water and fire dantian, making it easier to execute than Cloud Hidden Phoenix Cry.

In future battles where there are usually two opponents, one move of the Drunken River Slash and Heaven-Burning Sword will be enough to deal with them.

After spending three more days with Ye Xicheng and Chen Shuhui, Ye Wuxi finally boarded the griffin amidst their reluctant gazes.

On the griffin's back, Ye Wuxi took out a tattered map and began to look at it. This was something she had obtained from the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Demons.

The above-marked site is said to be the tomb of a powerful figure, located in a place called Wanglong Ancient City in the western part of the Ziyun Empire.

Since his cultivation and martial arts skills haven't improved much, Ye Wuxi plans to explore this place. If he can obtain some fortuitous inheritance from it, that would be ideal.

Even at the speed of a griffin, it took six days to travel from Tianfeng Kingdom to Wanglong Ancient City.

Ye Wuxi, dressed in a green robe, walked through Wanglong Ancient City, her brows furrowed slightly. There were too many people walking around in the city, and their auras were all quite strong.

"Could I be so lucky? Is some kind of treasure about to be unearthed?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Wuxi stepped into the most luxurious restaurant in the ancient city, ordered a pot of fine wine and food, and listened with great interest to the conversations of the people around him.

"The desert divine light lingered for a long time, and no one knew what it concealed."

"The experts from the two sixth-grade sects, Fengling Sect and Liumu Sect, have joined forces to seal off the outer perimeter. Even if something happens, it won't be for us."

"Hmph, if a rare treasure were to appear in the world, how could these two sects possibly have the right to monopolize it?"

"That's right, we'll just wait quietly."

"Divine Light, could it be more than just the tomb of King Wu?" Ye Wuxi took a sip of wine, his eyes thoughtful.

"Sir, your dishes are all served..." the waiter said with a smile as he brought over a few side dishes.

Ye Wuxi's heart stirred, and he took out two mid-grade spirit stones and placed them on the table, smiling slightly, "Waiter, I'm new here and don't know much about this place. Could you tell me about the desert outside the ancient city?"

The waiter's eyes lit up as he looked at the mid-grade spirit stone. He then sat down and said with a smile, "Well, sir, you must know the history of Wanglong Ancient City. It can be said to be the central city of the twenty-four kingdoms to the west of the Ziyun Empire."

"Many great battles took place in that desert outside the city, leaving behind many relics. However, they have been explored to the point that no one cares about them anymore."

"But just half a month ago, for some reason, a beam of light shot into the sky from the center of the desert and has not dissipated since. Moreover, the martial artists who were searching in the desert have all disappeared."

"What's even stranger is that the desert seems to be covered by a mysterious force. Even experts from the Heavenly Martial Realm couldn't get in. As soon as the news came out, the nearby Fengling Sect and Liumu Sect immediately sent people to guard the four entrances to the desert and block the news."

"Thank you!" Ye Wuxi said with a faint smile.

After leaving the restaurant, Ye Wuxi put on a veiled hat and quietly left the city. Wanglong Ancient City was built on the outer edge of the desert. Fifty miles after leaving the north gate, Ye Wuxi could clearly see the beam of light.

"This place is now under the control of the Fengling Sect and the Liumu Sect. All irrelevant persons shall leave immediately."

Before Ye Wuxi could get any closer, people dressed in the robes of the two major sects began to drive him away, and some rogue cultivators who were watching the spectacle could only grumble and leave the blockade.

Ye Wuxi sneered. Dominating it? Not so easy. The fifth-grade sects near the empire probably already know about this. The only reason they haven't sent anyone yet is to determine whether the contents are worth it.

"Get out of my sight!" A burly man with a stubble and an axe flew through the air and charged directly into the blockade, attempting to enter the desert.

The people from the two major sects didn't try to stop him; they just looked at the big man with cold smiles. If they could go in, they would have already gone in.

boom!

Sure enough, the big man had only taken a few steps closer when he seemed to have come into contact with something terrifying, and his entire body was torn apart.

"The power of this restriction has actually increased!"

"Things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes; this restrictive power is probably about to dissipate."

The onlookers' expressions hardened. Initially, this restrictive power only prevented entry but didn't kill. Now, touching it resulted in death, which was highly abnormal.

"Is it about to be activated...?" Ye Wuxi felt a mixture of anticipation and worry. If it was truly a valuable item, she feared it wouldn't be available to someone at the Xuanwu Realm...

Although there were people guarding the area, none of the onlookers were willing to leave, and Ye Wuxi was no exception.

After waiting for three more days, everyone felt that the mysterious restrictive power had disappeared, but the light in the center had also disappeared into the ground, leaving everyone puzzled.

"What's going on? Did it turn on or off again?"

The scene of the Han Dynasty being torn apart was still fresh in their minds, and this time no one dared to make a move. Even the two major sects that had been blockaded were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

However, there are always those who are not afraid of death in order to seize treasures, and another middle-aged man in the Earth Martial Realm flew in from the horizon.

"I'll try!"

The man didn't step in carelessly, but instead slapped his palm towards the desert to test if there would be a reaction.

Then a horrifying scene unfolded: a beam of light suddenly burst forth from the desert, tearing the man to shreds.
