To allow his Blood Soul to continuously advance, this was Wang Ruoxie's greatest trump card.

Although it's currently only at the Third Grade Yellow Level, as long as he devours enough Blood Souls or the Beast Souls of Demon Beasts, he can let his Blood Soul advance again, and eventually even transform into the Profound Level, or even Earth Level and Celestial Level.

Perhaps even the Saint Level or Divine Level, which he never reached in his past life, are not out of the question.

At present, he no longer needs to worry about the prerequisite of being a Bloodline Martial Cultivator to join the Celestial Sword Sect.

Although the Bloodline Power of the Third Grade Yellow Level counts for little, the Sword Blood Soul itself greatly assists a Sword Cultivator, and combined with his mastery of the Minor Achievement level of swordsmanship, joining the Celestial Sword Sect should pose no problem.

After collecting the money and belongings from the young man and the five guards, as well as their Treasure Artifacts, into his Storage Pouch, Wang Ruoxie continued walking deeper into the Cloud-Penetrating Mountain Range.

Not long after, he hunted down several low-level Tier Two Demon Beasts and extracted their Essence Blood.

With this, he finally accumulated one thousand drops of low-level Tier Two Demon Beasts' Essence Blood.

Without delay, he found a fairly hidden cave and began to refine these Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Inside the cave, Wang Ruoxie sat cross-legged, refining and absorbing all the Demon Beast Essence Blood, causing the Qi and Blood in his body to reach its peak.

At this moment, behind him, his Sword Blood Soul, shining with three blue halos, quietly hovered there.

Under the guidance of the Sword Blood Soul, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the surrounding space gathered in torrents, continuously pouring into Wang Ruoxie's body.

Not only could the Blood Soul enhance battle strength, but it could also accelerate the speed of cultivation.

After obtaining the Sword Blood Soul of the Third Grade Yellow Level, Wang Ruoxie's cultivation speed increased by at least thirty percent compared to before.

At the same time, Wang Ruoxie fully operated the technique of the Nine Transformation Primordial Scripture, inhaling spiritual energy and exhaling turbid air.

About three hours later, the aura on his body seemed to have broken through a limit, reaching another level.

"Fourth Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm."

Wang Ruoxie slowly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.

Breaking through to the Fourth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm meant stepping into the middle stage of the Energy-Introducing Realm. Although it was just a small advancement compared to before, his strength increased several times. His physical strength alone reached the power of thirteen oxen.

If he combined it with the Ninefold Force and Spiral Force techniques, he could probably unleash the power of at least eighteen oxen.

Meanwhile, his Sea of Qi in the dantian was three times larger than before, naturally allowing for three times the True Qi capacity.

"It's time to head to Inquiry Sword Peak."

Wang Ruoxie stood up and directly stepped out of the cave, walking towards the outside of the Cloud-Penetrating Mountain Range.

Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, and he possessed his Bloodline Power, there was no point in staying in the Cloud-Penetrating Mountain Range any longer.

After all, there were no Demon Beasts above Tier Two low-level in the Cloud-Penetrating Mountain Range. To enhance his cultivation with Demon Beast Essence Blood further, he would need to hunt at least several thousand low-level Tier Two Demon Beasts, which was clearly impossible.

In recent days, the low-level Tier Two Demon Beasts in the Cloud-Penetrating Mountain Range had been nearly hunted to extinction by him. Even if there were some that escaped, it wouldn't exceed a thousand heads, and even if he killed them all, it wouldn't significantly enhance his cultivation.

...

Inquiry Sword Peak is located a hundred miles north of the Royal City.

The Celestial Sword Sect is one of the Nine Great Sects of the East Victory Kingdom and is the strongest among the Upper Three Sects.

Thus, every year countless young talents knock themselves out trying to enter the Celestial Sword Sect, the competition extremely fierce.

However, it's said that even the children of the Royal Family may not be able to enter unless they have enough aptitude and strength, not even the Sovereign can force the Celestial Sword Sect to take in a prince or princess.

This is because in the Celestial Sword Sect, there are powerhouses at the Celestial Human Realm.

The Celestial Human Realm is considered to be top-notch even in the entire Eastern Domain.

The Three Mortal Realms are only the Foundation Establishment realms in Martial Art; only by stepping into the Celestial Human Realm can one be considered a true martial arts powerhouse.

Even just the first realm of the Celestial Human Nine Realms, the Innate Realm, is far beyond the Mortal Realm.

The East Victory Kingdom is merely one of the sixteen kingdoms in the Eastern Domain.

Throughout the entire Eastern Domain, a powerhouse at the Celestial Human Realm certainly outweighs a kingdom's Sovereign.

After all, in the Martial Arts World, everything is dictated by strength; a true unmatched expert could easily overthrow a kingdom.

For Wang Ruoxie to go to Inquiry Sword Peak, he must first head to Southern Prefecture City because only there can he take the Flying Warship.

Wuyi County City is a million miles away from the Royal City; if he were to walk on foot, it would take at least several years. Even riding the fastest Thousand-Mile Steed would take at least one to two years to reach the Royal City.

However, taking a Flying Warship takes at most half a month.

So Wang Ruoxie plans to first go to Southern Prefecture City, then take the Flying Warship to the Royal City.

Southern Prefecture is one of the seven prefectures of the East Victory Kingdom, governing over a dozen counties, with Wuyi County being one of them.

And Southern Prefecture City is naturally far more prosperous than Wuyi County City, with a population of tens of millions, and the overall martial cultivation strength much stronger than that of Wuyi County City.

On the ancient wilderness path, Wang Ruoxie rode a Thousand-Mile Steed, galloping towards Southern Prefecture City.

The Cloud-Penetrating Mountain Range is about two thousand miles from Southern Prefecture City, so even if a Thousand-Mile Steed could travel a thousand miles a day, it took Wang Ruoxie two full days to finally reach Southern Prefecture City.

However, he did not waste these two days, having thoroughly stabilized his breakthrough, and his Sea of Qi was completely filled with True Qi, only needing a catalyst to break through again.

While this catalyst might pose challenges to other martial cultivators, for him, it merely requires devouring enough Demon Beast Essence Blood.

However, to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, he estimates he will need to devour at least a hundred drops of mid-level Tier Two Demon Beast Essence Blood.

"Halt, dismount, and pay the city entry fee."

Just as Wang Ruoxie was about to enter Southern Prefecture City, a squadron of soldiers guarding the city gate suddenly stopped him, with a middle-aged soldier of the Fifth Layer Energy-Introducing Realm speaking up.

The other ten or so soldiers were all at the Third Layer of the Energy-Introducing Realm, and their Battle Armor and Weapons seemed to be of the Lower Grade Treasure Artifact.

Although the soldiers' cultivation wasn't considered high to Wang Ruoxie, the fact that even gate-guarding soldiers had such cultivation proved the martial culture flourishing in Southern Prefecture City.

"Why weren't the people ahead asked to pay the city entry fee?"

Wang Ruoxie frowned slightly, asking.

"Hmph, they're residents of Southern Prefecture City, naturally exempt from the city entry fee, but you appear to be a foreigner, and must pay a hundred taels of silver to enter the city."

The middle-aged soldier snorted coldly.

"Captain, he seems to be dressed in luxury, must be rich or noble. Just the Thousand-Mile Steed he's riding is worth quite a bit of silver, I think he can afford a thousand taels for the city entry fee."

Another soldier spoke up suddenly.

"Silver, I certainly have; even if it were ten thousand taels for the city entry fee, I could afford it, but I won't give you a single tael."

Hearing the words of these two, Wang Ruoxie sneered.
