The Black Tower's trial comprised nine layers.
The first layer housed awakening demonic creatures with powers nearing the peak of the King Stage.
The second layer is the beings of the early Imperial Stage.
And so forth, until the ninth layer, where Mu Yuyan faced several demonic creatures at the early Saint Stage.
Each creature possessed extraordinary strength, and she confronted not one but a group of them.
Yet, Mu Yuyan did not retreat.
With her sword held high, she advanced, always pressing forward.
To forge ahead relentlessly, never looking back, was the essence of her swordsmanship!
Her original intention for coming here was to forever accompany her beloved by her side.
Through nurous trials, fueled by Mu Yuyan's inherent exceptional talent and Fate, she unsurprisingly achieved the ultimate breakthrough.
Mid Saint Stage!
Her sword glead brightly, unleashing golden sword auras that swept across the entire ninth floor of the Black Tower.
Countless demonic creatures t their fateful demise one by one.
As the golden sword auras dissipated, the tower was devoid of any demonic presence.
Above the desolate landscape, a sprinkle of starlight adorned the black tower's peak, casting a radiant glow upon the figure of the peerless empress.
Mu Yuyan looked up, beholding a dazzling starry sky atop the black tower, the sole beacon of light in this barren world.
It seed that only from the summit of this tower could one behold such a spectacle.
"How beautiful the starry sky is."
"If only I could share this sight with my beloved, but alas, he is not here at this mont. The perfect mont and scene are but a fleeting illusion..." Mu Yuyan gently lowered her sword, her gaze intoxicated, tinged with a hint of regret.
Suddenly!
As she sat in ditation, replenishing her energy.
Above the starry sky, countless stars converged into a cluster, rushing into Mu Yuyan's brow at an incredible speed!

"What is this?"
The empress was montarily stunned, and then a series of fragnted images flashed through her mind.
"Immortal Realm... Snow Clan..."
A wealth of inheritance information flooded her mind, and simultaneously, her aura began to quietly ascend!
Mu Yuyan, who had spent a long ti in the trial grounds to reach the mid-Saint Stage, unexpectedly broke through to the late Saint Stage in an instant, with no sign of stopping her ascent!
It wasn't until she reached the pinnacle of the Saint Stage that her advancent gradually slowed.
A whole night passed.
Mu Yuyan underwent a profound transformation, her previous unparalleled sword intent and imperial aura were now augnted by a chilling essence and an aura of sanctity that couldn't be profaned.
These various qualities intertwined, rendering Mu Yuyan even more noble and mysterious.
Boom!
The mont she opened her eyes, she shattered through the final barrier!
Ascending to the Emperor Virtue Realm!
Never did she anticipate that after absorbing that starlight, her cultivation would directly break through a major realm, reaching the true pinnacle of human cultivation, the Emperor Realm!
"The Jing Nation's imperial secret realm... actually harbors the inheritance of the Immortal Realm Snow Clan ancestors!"
Mu Yuyan murmured to herself, sowhat incredulous.
Ice and snow sentints filled her eyes, mingled with a sense of astonishnt.
The speed of her cultivation advancent was simply staggering, even frightening; she herself was taken aback!
Unable to contain her joy!
Not only did she obtain the inheritance of the Snow Clan Saintess, but she also acquired so of the mories!
The inheritance in this secret realm was left behind by the Snow Clan Saintess upon her grievous injury and death.
The Snow Clan held a lofty position in the Immortal Realm, one of the top seven clans. The reason the Saintess fell into the mortal realm and perished was precisely because the current Immortal Realm's scion secretly poisoned her and then launched a surprise attack!
Had it not been for the Saintess's secret technique of preserving a glimr of life, she might not have even had the chance to flee to the mortal realm.
Even in the mortal realm, she couldn't survive; the poison administered by the Immortal Realm's scion was so ruthless it could destroy even her soul.
It was only in her final monts that the Snow Clan Saintess left behind this inheritance and so mories.
"The scion of the Immortal Realm, beneath such a grandiose title, harbors such despicable and dark deeds? Despicable..." Mu Yuyan's expression turned icy.
After inheriting the Saintess's legacy, she naturally also assimilated a part of her mories and emotions.
Of course, besides this.
Mu Yuyan had always witnessed various brutal wars and conspiracies, among which the most contemptible were such thods!
Grand Tutor Su Hua had once warned her that the heart of the Great Dao must not be tainted by conspiracies.
Once the heart of the Dao is tainted, one's spirit and integrity are lost.
Even the scion of the Immortal Realm, if using such ans in battle, was, in Mu Yuyan's mind, no different from a despicable individual; how could such a person cultivate the Great Dao?
"Saintess, since I have received your inheritance, I will do my utmost to avenge you!"
Mu Yuyan looked up at the starry sky above the black tower, the breadth of her vision and courage transforming silently from a re mortal emperor.
The next mont.
She slowly rose and stepped out of the black tower, and after a while, her figure disappeared from the spot, appearing in the imperial palace of the Jing Nation.
"Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Liu Yexi, who had been quietly waiting, was the first to notice Mu Yuyan. Her eyes were filled with joy as she quickly bowed.
She also noticed the change in Mu Yuyan's aura.
Mu Yuyan, who had just broken through, couldn't yet conceal her aura as completely as Gu Lan could.
She had deliberately reduced the impact on the people around her; otherwise, it would be difficult for cultivators below the Imperial Stage to even stand in her presence.
Almost the mont Mu Yuyan erged from the secret realm, the entire mortal realm faintly sensed a powerful aura.
That formidable aura emanated from the capital of the Jing Nation.
All cultivators above the Imperial Stage were inevitably shocked.
They had only felt such terrifying power when the Lower Realm envoy had arrived!
"Oh no! The Empress of Jing Nation has broken through!"
In the Demon Emperor City, the nine-tailed celestial fox suddenly opened its eyes, its mind shaking as it gazed at the eastern sky.
"Ah? What should we do, Emperor?" Several newly appointed Demon Emperors, with modest cultivation, panicked upon hearing that the Empress of Jing Nation had broken through again.
Damn it! Wasn't that woman just breaking through a few days ago?
And now she's breaking through again?
What realm has she reached?!
"Emperor, forgive my impudence, but can you still defeat her now?" One of the Demon Emperors swallowed nervously, asking indirectly.
The nine-tailed celestial fox frowned and raised a finger.
"A ten percent chance of victory?" Several Demon Emperors were anxious.
"None at all."
"..."
"Well, Emperor, what should we do now? Jing Nation's recent growth in national power has been so rapid, and the national wars we launched a few years ago..." Several Demon Emperors clamored.
"Cough, cough!"
The ntion of national wars gave the nine-tailed celestial fox a headache. At that ti, he was too confident, thinking that a breakthrough was imminent, and devouring a human nation was completely within his grasp...
Never did he expect that in these past years, that empress would be boosted like crazy!
And he hadn't even considered the terrifying Tianji Pavilion.
What a joke!
"You all, leave. I want to be alone for a while..." The nine-tailed celestial fox rubbed his temples, already contemplating how to apologize later.
"Emperor, who is Jingjing?"
"Get out!!"
"..."
"Yes, sir!"
...
In the capital of Jing Nation, at the Grand Tutor's residence.
"Little ancestor, that's a wolf-hair brush crafted by the thousand-year wolf king, not ant for mopping the floor!"
"Don't! Don't drop it! That's an inkstone made of jade. It can't withstand dropping."
Crack!
Sothing fell to the ground.
"Oh, that's the blue-and-white porcelain pen holder that the late emperor gave !"
Su Hua wore a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but hold his forehead.
With a creak, a figure dressed in a scholar's robe, with two adorable buns tied on her head, dashed out of the study.
She held a golden wolf-hair brush in her hand, stepped on a sword emitting flowing light, and carried a fruit brimming with spiritual energy in her mouth as she flew outside the residence.
As she flew, she shouted, "Mother! Mother is coming!"
