Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 474: Xueyao Returns

Wang Ruoxie had been in seclusion all this time, so he wasn’t aware that he had almost become a household name within the Inner Sect, at least among most of the Inner Sect Disciples. Even if they hadn’t seen him, they had surely heard his name.

Of course, most people were secretly speculating on what kind of fate would befall him when Tian Hong and Ma Quan returned.

Some people thought that he would have his limbs broken and be driven out of the Five Extremes Peak like a stray dog, while others thought he would end up as a corpse carried down from the Five Extremes Peak.

Yet no one thought that Wang Ruoxie could defeat Tian Hong and Ma Quan and continue to occupy the Five Extremes Peak alone.

Because in everyone’s eyes, although Tian Hong and Ma Quan had not entered the top one hundred thousand Inner Sect Disciples, their strength was still far superior to ordinary Inner Sect Disciples.

Some even speculated that when these two returned to the Sect, they were highly likely to enter the top one hundred thousand and qualify to live in the Seventy-Two Small Peaks.

If that truly were the case, their cultivation power would easily crush Wang Ruoxie, and they could even obliterate him with a flick of a finger.

At this moment, Wang Ruoxie was naturally unaware that after he drove Yuan Xing, Xie Dong, and Guo Gai out of the Five Extremes Peak, almost everyone regarded him as a dead man walking.

However, even if he knew, he would at most laugh it off because with his current cultivation power, he had no fear of retribution from Tian Hong and Ma Quan.

In half a month of seclusion, he not only consolidated his cultivation thoroughly but also made progress, finally advancing the Immortal Creation Scripture to the Fourth Transformation level.

Although it was just the initial entry into the Fourth Transformation, the mana within his body had become several times thicker and purer.

As for the Five Elements Divine Fist, he had also made initial refinements by integrating the Fighting Saint Fist’s profound technique and the Infinite Profound Technique into it, greatly enhancing its power.

According to his estimates, the current Five Elements Divine Fist not only counted as a true Divine Technique but could at least rival a Second Grade or even a Third Grade Divine Technique.

Moreover, as he continued to comprehend the Profound Technique of the Five Elements, the Five Elements Divine Fist would be continuously perfected, and its power would naturally grow stronger, potentially surpassing the Tier Seven Divine Technique, Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art, in the future.

Because of this, even though he was now an Inner Sect Disciple of the Profound Lady Sect, he did not go to the Sect’s Inheritance Hall to select a Divine Technique to cultivate.

Firstly, because Inner Sect Disciples could at most select First Grade or Second Grade Divine Techniques for cultivation, and secondly, because the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art he was cultivating already was a Tier Seven Divine Technique. Together with the perfected Five Elements Divine Fist, it almost surpassed ordinary Second Grade Divine Techniques.

Most importantly, the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture he cultivated was a Supreme Secret Manual that transcended Divine Techniques. Although he couldn’t determine its true tier, he was certain it was far beyond any ordinary Divine Technique.

Because he discovered that with each breakthrough of a transformation, his physical body would undergo a qualitative metamorphosis.

This wasn’t a simple enhancement but an elevation in the level of life, or one could say, an evolution.

Currently, although his physical body couldn’t compare to a Divine Body of the Divine Human Realm, it was already much stronger than about any Celestial Emperor Realm or even Celestial Venerable Realm.

This showed that the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture was far beyond those Divine Techniques in comparison, and having only cultivated it to the Fourth Transformation, if he could achieve higher levels, surpassing even a Divine Body of the Divine Human Realm wasn’t impossible.

From then on, Wang Ruoxie was constantly practicing the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art and the Five Elements Divine Fist in the square in front of the palace.

As time went on, his mastery over the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art and the Five Elements Divine Fist grew nearer to perfection, and the power they exerted naturally became stronger.

On this day, Wang Ruoxie sat cross-legged in the square, operating the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture for cultivation.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, I didn’t expect to hear about your great exploits the moment I returned."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

Wang Ruoxie opened his eyes and looked up, only to see that the speaker was none other than Xueyao.

Beside Xueyao stood a young man who looked at him with seemingly unfriendly eyes.

"Senior Sister Xueyao, you’re back."

Wang Ruoxie stood up and walked over to Xueyao, smiling as he spoke.

"Yes, I just got back not long ago."

Xueyao smiled and nodded, saying, "I haven’t congratulated you yet on becoming an Inner Sect Disciple and also breaking through to the First Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm."

"Even so, I’m still far from being able to compare with Senior Sister Xueyao." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Upon hearing this, Wang Ruoxie smiled. He could naturally see that Xueyao’s cultivation had already advanced to the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, needing only one more breakthrough to reach the Late Stage of the Celestial Emperor Realm.

"Haha... You indeed have no qualification to compare with Xueyao. Xueyao is a Direct Disciple of Elder Si Xuan, and her cultivation has now advanced to the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Emperor Realm, directly promoting to True Disciple. Regardless of strength or status, you can only look up to her."

Before Xueyao could speak, the young man beside her spoke first, his words tinged with mockery.

"Senior Brother Tianyi, Junior Brother Ruoxie has not been in the Sect for long, so his cultivation power is currently not on par with mine. Otherwise, with Junior Brother Ruoxie’s talent, his cultivation power would surely far surpass mine, and becoming a Saint Heir in the future wouldn’t be out of reach."

Hearing the young man’s mocking words towards Wang Ruoxie, Xueyao frowned slightly and then spoke up.

"Oh? I didn’t expect Xueyao to think so highly of him. Then I’m quite curious about what level of talent he tested for in the entrance assessment."

Tianyi sneered and spoke again.

"In the entrance assessment, I tested for Tier Three First Grade talent."

Wang Ruoxie looked at Tianyi indifferently and spoke slowly.

"Tier Three First Grade talent? Haha..."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie’s words, Tianyi burst into laughter, his voice full of ridicule and disdain.

"Junior Brother Ruoxie, you aren’t mistaken, are you?"

Xueyao also looked at Wang Ruoxie with an expression of disbelief. She was very clear about Wang Ruoxie’s talent.

Back when he was in the Celestial Sword Sect, Wang Ruoxie had demonstrated talent far beyond that of ordinary people, having crossed several small realms to defeat and even kill those so-called genius powerhouses.

Moreover, not long ago, Wang Ruoxie had single-handedly battled against several Inner Sect Disciples who called themselves the Five Extremes, and occupied the Five Extremes Peak by himself.

"Senior Sister Xueyao, I’m not mistaken. I indeed tested for Tier Three First Grade talent during the entrance assessment."

Wang Ruoxie laughed softly and said to Xueyao.

Of course, his true talent was naturally not Tier Three First Grade. Even if it had not reached the Ninth Grade talent like Xiao Ningyue, it must have reached the Tier Eight level.

"Xueyao, it seems your former Junior Brother isn’t some unparalleled genius. A Tier Three First Grade talent breaking through to the Celestial Emperor Realm is already remarkably fortunate, and his achievements might just end here."

Tianyi looked at Wang Ruoxie with contempt, then turned to Xueyao and spoke.

Originally, he saw this person as a rival because of Xueyao’s apparent concern, but now he realized this guy was not qualified to be his rival at all.

Mere Tier Three First Grade talent, how could it possibly compare with his Tier Seven talent?

In his view, Xueyao’s concern for this person was clearly just out of nostalgia for their past comradeship.
