The man in black said, "Practice thrusting your sword ten thousand tis every day for a year, and I might take you as my disciple!"
"Thank you, elder!"
Ning Xue knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowing three tis.
In this continent, powerful martial artists roam the world, even so emperors fear them greatly.
Martial artists are divided into third-class, second-class, first-class, Postnatal Martial Artist, Innate Martial Artist, and Grandmaster.
In the Imperial Palace, there is an Innate Martial Artist residing, even my father holds him in regard.
The elder before , could he be a Grandmaster?
For the sake of vengeance, to kill her enemies, Ning Xue began her journey in martial training.
Yet on the first day, she almost failed.
Holding the Treasure Sword, thrusting it into a wooden stake, her arm went numb after just a thousand thrusts.
She wanted to lie down and rest, but at that mont, her teacher struck her with a stick, sternly asking, "Ning Xue, have you forgotten the hatred of your fallen kingdom and lost family?"
"No!"
Ning Xue stood up and continued to thrust at the wooden stake.
After the ten thousand thrusts, her body seed utterly exhausted.
She felt an unspeakable soreness all over.
At this mont, her teacher approached, kneading her arm, massaging her shoulders, making her body tingle, the forr soreness quickly eased, an increasing warmth flowed within her, an indescribable strength filled her.
On the second day, still thrusting the sword.
On the third day, still thrusting the sword.
On the fourth day, still thrusting the sword.
On the fifth day, still thrusting the sword.
On the sixth day, still thrusting the sword.
For a whole month, still thrusting the sword, without learning any other moves.
Ning Xue was getting impatient.
But the man in black said, "You only need to learn one Swordsmanship move to be invincible in the world!"
Although helpless, Ning Xue continued practicing this one move.
After half a year, her ridians gradually cleared, True Qi nourished her Physique, her skin and mbranes, her five viscera, blood, bones, marrow, etc., her whole body improved, strength and speed continually increasing.
After half a year, she overca various limitations and beca a first-class martial artist.
"It's ti for battle!"
The man in black said, taking her away to slaughter.
Journeying through Great Qian, Great Li, Divine Wind, Mongol Yuan, Huoluo, and other countries, along the way were robbers, slaughtering citizens; corrupt officials running rampant, oppressing the people wantonly; and martial artists, relying on their powerful force, plundering citizens and dominating the market, collecting protection fees.
Various groups of people, all kinds of people.
Ning Xue slaughtered them.
The man in black watched from afar, not interfering.
Ning Xue began her first battle.
When she killed for the first ti, killing a flower thief, Ning Xue's hands trembled.
But gradually, with more killing, her emotions cald.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The ones she killed were all deserving of it.
If heaven doesn't take you, the governnt doesn't take you, I take you.
In the slaughter, the man in black imparted so wisdom, to prevent Ning Xue from getting lost in the bloodshed and losing herself.
Her Cultivation increased, becoming a Postnatal Martial Artist.
...
Ten years later, Ning Xue beca an Innate Martial Artist, alone with a sword she entered the Imperial Capital of Great Li Country.
Over a thousand crossbow arrows fired, arrows rained down.
Ning Xue urged her black cape, with a sweep, the crossbow arrows turned back, soldiers fell one by one.
Then ca three thousand heavy armored infantry, clothed in thick Battle Armor, wielding Long Sabers, moving in unison, slashing toward Ning Xue.
Ning Xue's steps moved like the wind, Sword Light as fast as to being unseen.
In just ten breaths, she cut through the three thousand heavy armored infantry.
At the palace gate appeared three Innate Martial Artists.
Ning Xue urged her Treasure Sword, charging to fight.
The Sword Light like snow, after a hundred moves, the three Innate Martial Artists fell.
The Great Li Emperor, in shock, descended into darkness.
A body fell to the ground.
Ning Xue laughed heartily and vanished away.
When she saw her master again, Ning Xue approached and said, "Teacher, I avenged myself!"
The man in black said, "Within an inch, I am invincible; within a square inch, one person is a match for an empire. This is Martial Art! I must go now!"
The man in black said, then disappeared.
Ning Xue tried to catch up, but could no longer find any trace of her teacher.
After vengeance, Ning Xue was lost, not knowing where to go next.
Seemingly thinking of sothing, Ning Xue began to rally the remnants of Great Qian, to rebuild the Great Qian Empire.
After the reconstruction of Great Qian, Ning Xue beca the first Empress.
Then, she reford the governnt system, established three departnts and six ministries, created the Plum Blossom Inner Guard to monitor all officials; then established Jinyiwei to monitor all the people and various powers; also recruited young people, gradually forming ten thousand Martial Guards, teaching them Cultivation Technique.
The wars began, soon extinguishing Great Li Country, Divine Wind Country, Mongol Yuan, Huoluo, and overseas countries.
The areas the army swept through, they overwheld all, commanding dominance wherever they went.
One by one countries fell, countless armies were defeated.
Nurous martial artists resisted, constant turmoil everywhere; chaotic martial artists were suppressed by Jinyiwei, countless Sects perished, many Martial Arts Classics fell into the Imperial Palace. Martial artist revolts like Fla, were swiftly extinguished. Just an uprising, it disappeared like smoke.
Another group of organized Innate Martial Artists, aid to assassinate Ning Xue, the Empress.
But when eighteen Innate Martial Artists acted, they vanished without a trace, never heard from again.
The next day, Empress Ning Xue still held court.
The world was in reform, in rely eighteen years, Empress Ning Xue conquered countless countries, unifying the continent, achieving everlasting greatness.
Empress Ning Xue, with her formidable Martial Arts Cultivation, beca the continent's strongest.
After unifying the continent, Empress Ning Xue cultivated Jade Emperor Rice, with an annual yield of three thousand jin, offering warmth and sustenance to all, every household enjoying a modest prosperity; she also gathered scholars to compile the "Martial Scripture", spreading martial arts across the world, everyone could practice martial arts.
Years passed by swiftly, a hundred years elapsed in the blink of an eye.
Ning Xue, sitting on the throne, appeared desolate, a hint of unwillingness flashing across her face.
"An Innate Martial Artist's lifespan is only a hundred and twenty years! Now, I've lived a hundred and forty years, far exceeding the innate limit, but my lifespan is nearing its end... Teacher, where are you? All these years, I've searched the world for you, yet found not a trace of you…"
"Teacher, where are you?"
"I know, you are still alive!"
Ning Xue spoke, her expression sowhat pleading.
Just then, a shadow flickered in the void, a handso youth appeared, exactly her old teacher.
Ning Xue smiled, saying, "Teacher, all these years, I've done this just to gain your approval. Have I done well?"
Her teacher nodded, "You've done quite well!"
Ning Xue said, "Teacher still looks like a youth, but I have aged. Before I die, my greatest wish is to see you once... But why did you leave ! Why must you do this, I have loved only you in this life, you are my sun, yet why did you leave ... Why!"
Seemingly questioning too eagerly, she coughed a few tis.
Her teacher sighed, "Xue'Er, I've always been by your side, but you couldn't see !"
Ning Xue was slightly surprised, "Couldn't see!"
Her teacher said, "Xue'Er, once you step into the realm of Grandmaster, you'll be able to see . Unfortunately, you fell just short, forever stuck at Innate Perfection, unable to uncover the mysteries of the Grandmaster."
Ning Xue said, "A Grandmaster?"
Clenching her fist, feeling sowhat unwilling!
These years, her Cultivation grew increasingly profound, her strength increasingly strong.
Once, she killed eighteen Innate Martial Artists with her strength alone, her prowess imnse.
Yet she was still at Innate Perfection, still lacking a little.
Her teacher said, "The lifespan of an Innate Martial Artist is a hundred and twenty years, but a Grandmaster's is a thousand years, you are still lacking a little."
Ning Xue said, "Teacher, I'm sorry, I still failed you!"
After speaking, she seed to exhaust her strength.
As night fell, she passed away on the spot.
The man in black sighed, and the world fragnted and dispersed.
