My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Bai Fei Yao’s dishevelled hair, hideous face, and the shrill screams that seemed to echo in the ears of the pupils within the Holy Purification Pond.

They shuddered. The pupils who originally wanted to try to advance a little further to challenge their limit didn’t dare to make a rash move.

Many people cast their eyes on Lou Mu Yan in the distance. They sighed that they might still not be able to reach that position even after three days and couldn’t help but envy again.

Then, not wanting to waste anymore time and being distracted, they quickly threw themselves into cultivation.

Within the three days, many pupils walked some distance into the Holy Purification Pond, but were still far from the centre, and Lou Mu Yan had already left the centre area and walked towards the area with denser spiritual energy.

When the Headmasters of the several Sects appeared, the end of their reward time had also arrived.

Many people walked out the Holy Purification Pond reluctantly, leaving only Lou Mu Yan.

After leaving the Holy Purification Pond, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace said: “Lou Mu Yan won the reward of eighteen days as the champion of six competitions. You should all also continue to cultivate for fifteen more days outside the Holy Purification Pond. Although there’s no effect of cleansing the marrow and tempering the body like in the Holy Purification Pond, but the spiritual force is still abundant and will also be very helpful to you all.”

The more than a dozen people were overjoyed, then replied respectfully: “Pupil obeys!”

Days passed one by one. Lou Mu Yan went deeper and deeper, and on the tenth day, she had actually walked until there was only a third of the way left to the end.

Outside the Holy Purification Pond, the Headmasters of the various Sects couldn’t be more shocked.

“Sect Leader Gǔ1, where did Chi Xiu end up last time?” The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect looked at the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace and asked.

Gǔ Qing replied with a light smile: “Chi Xiu finished walking the entire Holy Purification Pond.

“During the last competition, Chi Xiu also received eighteen days as a reward. On the fifteenth day, he arrived at the end of the Holy Purification Pond.” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace said with pride.

The faces of the Headmasters of the other Sects changed, and only Huo Ling Long raised an eyebrow with a smile: “Lou girl also wouldn’t disappoint either.”

“That girl’s talent isn’t outdone even by Chi Xiu.” The Headmaster of the Sword Sect nodded with a sigh.

The two siblings of the Lou Clan had a high level of understanding of sword intent. If Lou Mu Yan was also a pupil of the Sword Sect, then they’d be able to learn that ‘Polarity Sword Array’, what a pity!

After another day, seven-coloured clouds suddenly gathered from afar above the Holy Purification Pond, enveloping the entire pond.

“What’s this? It looks like Tribulation Clouds, but not exactly.”

Seeing the seven-coloured clouds that suddenly appeared, the Headmasters of the several Sects were shocked, and the pupils who were cultivation also opened their eyes and looked into the distance.

Then everyone watched the seven-coloured spiritual lightning land one after another on Lou Mu Yan. The woman in red in the mist loomed among the seven-coloured spiritual lightning, giving people a mysterious feeling.

Her stunning face was dyed a little more with overflowing beauty by the seven-coloured spiritual lightning, growing more and more enchanting.

“Is she using the spiritual force to temper her body and advance?” The Headmaster of the Vast Mountain Sect’s eyes widened.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace looked unpredictable, “In the entire Tian’ling Continent, I’ve never heard of anyone who can temper their bodies with Seven-Coloured Spiritual Lightning.”

“This girl’s advancement to Sword Venerable is too big.” The Headmaster of the Sword Sect said.

The Six Sect’s pupils who had entered the Holy Purification Pond together were all staring, dumbfounded, at Lou Mu Yan who was bathing in the seven-coloured spiritual clouds, tempering her body and advancing. This woman’s talent was Heaven-defying!

In fact, after cultivating the Sorcerers Skill, Lou Mu Yan would attract seven-coloured spiritual lightning to temper her body each time she advanced, except after exposing it at the Glacial Mountain Range that one time, each time she would go to a very remote place to advance while arranging an array to cover up these movements.

But now in the Holy Purification Pond, even if she arranged an array to hide abnormal phenomena, the people outside the pond could still see everything clearly, so she didn’t bother to hide it.

The spiritual energy in her body had long reached the bottleneck of advancement, but she had been suppressing it until she came to the Holy Purification Pond to cleanse her marrows and purify her soul energy before advancing.

After tempering with the seven-coloured spiritual lightning, she felt that her entire body was filled with a feeling as if she had been rebirthed, and the spiritual energy in her body was more than three times denser than before.

The meridians in her entire body were extended and widened. If people could see the scene inside, they would definitely be surprised to find that each of her meridians were like strips of warm jade, emitting a soft white light.

When the seven-coloured spiritual clouds dissipated, she also successfully advanced to Sword Venerable stage.

Right now, although she restrained her aura, but she still gave people outside the Holy Purification Pond a sense of pressure. Her aura was much, much stronger than when she was a Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign.

“After advancing to Sword Sovereign, Lou Mu Yan probably has much denser elemental energy than other ordinary Sword Masters.” A Headmaster of the Heavenly Secret Palace stroked his beard and said.

The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace nodded: “When she was at Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign, she could already skip-stage battle an Advanced-Phase Sword Venerable. After advancing to Sword Venerable stage, there probably won’t be more than ten people below Sword Saint who could win her.”

Those who were professionals at skip-stage battles weren’t pupils of the Six Sects, but the assassins of the Hidden City of the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Rankings—in particular, the top six peerless geniuses on the Heaven Ranking. Each of them were Sword Venerable stages who could kill Sword Saints with outstanding records.

Someone like Chi Xiu was a special case of the Six Sects. It was said that he could sweep away all Sword Saint level Sword Masters at Initial-Phase Sword Venerable.

Now at Peak-Phase Sword Venerable cultivation base, let alone invincible among Sword Venerables, even those below Peak-Phase Sword Saint would have difficulty beating him.

“This woman will definitely be extraordinary in the future.” The Headmaster of the Medicine Sect said, staring into the distance.

Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes, and they were resplendently bright like stars.

The effect of cleansing the marrow, tempering the body, and purifying her soul in the Holy Purification Pond was indeed great. No wonder Ming Xiu wanted her to seize this opportunity.

She looked around at the several Spirit Pets not far away who were madly absorbing the energy in the water and an arc rose on her lips.

Not only did she gain a lot this time, but the Spirit Pets also gained a lot.

After advancing to Sword Venerable, her physical toughness and spiritual energy boundlessness had also improved a higher level, so she got up and walked towards the end of the Holy Purification Pond.

When she arrived near the end, she sat cross-legged and continued to absorb the energy in the water like a bottomless pit, taking several steps at intervals in time.

Three days later, she arrived at the end of the Holy Purification Pond.

“She walked to the end, and it only took fifteen days, like Chi Xiu.” The Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace was bewildered.

Chi Xiu’s talent could be considered the number one of the Heavenly Secret Palace’s Inner Sect, but he didn’t expect that Lou Mu Yan, this girl, also had the same qualifications.

There was a touch of admiration in the eyes of the Heavenly Secret Palace’s Sect Leader, “The only pupils who had ever reached the end of the Holy Purification Pond are Chi Xiu and Lou Mu Yan. This also meant that the two of them not only have excelling talent, but their body’s physical toughness are also equivalent to Peak-Phase Tier 9 Demonic Beasts.”

The other Headmasters were extremely serious. The physical strength of a Peak-Phase Tier 9 Demonic Beast was stronger than any of them, which also meant that it would be difficult to kill Chi Xiu and Lou Mu Yan even with their strength.

The other pupils smiled bitterly after hearing it. Chi Xiu and Lou Mu Yan were both truly incomparable to normal people. Others couldn’t be called geniuses in front of them at all.

After stabilising her cultivation base, Lou Mu Yan took out a drop of the blood essence of the descendant of the Heavenly Phoenix that Mo Yan condensed and began to refine it with the dense spiritual energy of the Holy Purification Pond.

1This Gǔ (谷 which also translates to ‘valley’) is different from the Gu (顾/ Gù) for Gu Yan Ran and her Gu Clan. So I’m differentiating it by adding an accent on top~

Note: Just one chapter today! And most likely tomorrow, we’ll see~

Random note: Went whale watching yesterday~ It was a little underwhelming since we only got to see a mother and child whale swim by in the last like 30 minutes or less and I had expected a bit more than that, plus they were tinier than I expected, but at least we got to see a lot of wild dolphins! Anyways, what can we do, it’s all up to luck since they’re wild! Towards the end I was hoping we didn’t see any because that meant we’d get to go back free for another day to see whales. Oh well! HAHA
