Of course, leaving the East Victory Kingdom was only the last resort.

Wang Ruoxie believed that as long as he refined that Essence Pill, his cultivation would surely see a significant improvement.

By then, even if he couldn't break through to the Meridian Passage Realm, with his methods, he would definitely have enough power to protect himself when facing someone in the Meridian Passage Realm.

After returning to the Celestial Sword Sect, Wang Ruoxie went to see Sect Leader Chu Li.

After discovering that Wang Ruoxie had already broken through to the Innate Realm, Chu Li was extremely pleased and even rewarded Wang Ruoxie with ten million sect points on the spot.

In addition to the recent sales share from the Soul Condensing Pill and Primordial Pill, Wang Ruoxie's total points now reached as much as twenty million.

It's safe to say that in the entire Celestial Sword Sect, there were only a few people with more points than Wang Ruoxie.

"Eastern Domain Trial?"

As Wang Ruoxie walked towards the Dragon Transformation Pool, he was pondering the news he just received from Chu Li.

According to Chu Li, a grand trial event would be held a year and a half later in the Kunxu Land of the Eastern Domain.

Any martial cultivator under the age of fifty could participate in this trial.

This meant not only would there be young genius powerhouses participating, but also genius powerhouses from the previous generation.

It's well known that in the entire Eastern Domain, those who could be considered geniuses had decent aptitude, at least Profound Tier bloodlines, with Earth Tier being common, and their martial arts talent likely not below ten stars.

The geniuses from the previous generation had cultivated for at least twenty to thirty years, with cultivation levels far beyond the simple First Layer of the Innate Realm and with powers beyond ordinary imagination.

"It seems that the number of people in the Innate Realm across the Eastern Domain is far greater than it appears."

Wang Ruoxie thought silently to himself, but he wasn't too surprised.

The entire Eastern Domain housed sixteen kingdoms and five top forces, all with at least a few hundred years of foundation, so how could the Innate Realm be lacking?

Moreover, no force would reveal all their trump cards.

Even among ordinary martial cultivators without major forces behind them, many have stepped into the Innate Realm, considering that the entire Eastern Domain had a population of at least several hundred billion. Given such a vast base, even if breaking through the Innate Realm was as hard as climbing to the heavens, the number wouldn't be too low.

Even the number of those in the Meridian Passage Realm wouldn't be as few as it appears.

As for whether there were any in the Essence Pill Realm, Wang Ruoxie couldn't be sure, but if there were martial cultivators in the Essence Pill Realm in the Eastern Domain, they would likely be centuries-old ancients who naturally wouldn't participate in the trial event.

"I didn't expect this trial event to be related to the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty."

Wang Ruoxie murmured softly.

The Yuanwu Continent consists of nine major provinces, and the East Victory Kingdom is located in one of these, the Yun Province.

Yun Province is divided into the Eastern Domain, Southern Domain, Western Domain, Northern Domain, and the most prosperous and thriving Central Domain.

As far as Wang Ruoxie knew, the Central Domain not only had dozens of kingdoms, but also had a sovereign entity higher than all the kingdoms, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty.

This Great Yu Imperial Dynasty is the sole imperial power in Yun Province, with all over a hundred kingdoms in the Five Domains of Yun Province bowing to it, offering tribute annually.

The foundation of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty far surpasses that of the kingdoms, and the number of powerhouses it possesses is far beyond all the kingdoms.

It is even said that the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty has martial cultivators in the Essence Pill Realm presiding, and not just one.

For the Eastern Domain's triennial trial event, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty always sends envoys to participate, ultimately aiming to select talents for the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty.

Chu Li also told Wang Ruoxie that this trial event would be vastly different from previous ones.

It is said that the Emperor of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty had informed the sovereigns of each kingdom that the bottom twenty ranking kingdoms in this trial would face severe punishment, potentially even being annihilated.

Due to this, Sovereign Tang Xuanyi announced days ago that anyone who ranks in the top hundred in the trial event, in addition to receiving bountiful treasure resources, could also earn the title of Marquis. Additionally, for every ten spots they advance, their title would be promoted one tier.

If one could rank in the top ten, they would be directly conferred with the title of Prince, and for each rank they advance, their title tier would also be promoted. This means, if one could capture first place in the trial event, they would be conferred as a First-Class Prince, with a status that rivals those princes and princesses of the royal family.

Of course, Wang Ruoxie had no interest in these titles, but he would still participate in the trial event.

Only by battling with more and stronger genius powerhouses can he enhance his cultivation power faster.

However, he clearly understood that with his current cultivation power, even if he participated in the trial event, entering the top ten would be extremely challenging, and as for the top three or even first place, it would be nearly impossible.

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Ruoxie stopped dawdling and quickly headed towards the mountain where the Dragon Transformation Pool was located.

Soon, he arrived at the Dragon Transformation Pool for the second time, but this time, his main goal was to refine the Essence Pill he obtained from the Silver Armor Corpse.

With his current cultivation at the Innate Realm, there was naturally no restriction on entering the Dragon Transformation Pool; he could enter and cultivate whenever he wished.

However, the Dragon Transformation Pool, for him now, didn't have much effect; it was merely a place with relatively dense spiritual qi for cultivation.

"I didn't expect that in merely a month, he has already achieved such astonishing accomplishments."

Watching Wang Ruoxie walking into the Dragon Transformation Pool, Ye Xiuyuan murmured with a somewhat complicated expression.

A month ago, Wang Ruoxie's cultivation couldn't compare to his; a month later, he had already broken through to the Innate Realm, stepping into the realm he dreamed of.

It seems the Celestial Sword Sect has truly produced a dragon among men.

After entering the Dragon Transformation Pool, Wang Ruoxie submerged his entire body in the liquefied spiritual qi.

Immediately, he took out the Essence Pill and began refining it.

An Essence Pill is the foundation of an Essence Pill Realm cultivator, containing almost all their cultivation. If he could completely refine it, his cultivation would see a tremendous leap.

Wang Ruoxie fully activated the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture, causing the liquid spiritual qi around him to wildly flood into his body.

The surging spiritual qi roared inside him, converging towards his Sea of Qi, and with terrifying speed, it condensed into primordial power.

Time passed; half a year quickly went by.

The Essence Pill in Wang Ruoxie's hand had disappeared, indicating he had completely refined it.

Even the hundreds of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones in his storage ring had been entirely consumed.

The Fourth Grade Pills and various rare Earth Tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures he obtained from Xiahou Lie, Tang Liren, and others, had also all been devoured and refined.

It could be said that now his storage pouch, aside from weapons, manuals, and other treasure resources that do not aid in cultivation, was almost entirely depleted.

Of course, all this was well worth it because his cultivation had now advanced to the Seventh Layer of the Innate Realm, reaching the late stage of the Innate Realm.
