Martial Empress!

After receiving the manual after a useless bicker with the Library Elder, Wang Xue entered his personal cave. It was currently shining and glowing at every wall, carefully dusted that not even a single speck was found and that wasn't an exaggeration. He traced the ring on his finger and suddenly a bunch of stuff appeared.

In this bunch of usele- PRECIOUS stuff was a bunch of letters and a ink and quill as his mother was extremely paranoid that if he doesn't write a letter every month to her then she would think he's dead and try to kill herself. Yeah, thanks mother for such a threat... He wrote his current situation now but it barely filled a 1/8 of the page so, he figured it would take him a couple of days to fill it in.

He couldn't be bothered with the other stuff as... they were all trash and who cares about trash? Certainly not the most OP person in the entire world excluding the people inside the hidden realm, of course, especially Ying'er's family. He took a quick shower albeit being scalded as he forgot that this wasn't his past body but instead a girl's.

So when Wang Xue finally settled in his cave residence by diligently cleaning the useless stuff, he began to cultivate. Not that it meant much to him anyways as... he could just simply rush through the levels as long as he had enough Qi to support him. Not to mention, he was already at Qi Condenser Layer 9 which is enough to enter the top 10 of the Outer Disciple Rankings (AN: For Y'all whom ist stoopid, he hasn't been accepted as a chosen yet so he is classified as an Outer Disciple).

Yet, he did not so. This is because of that one cultivator that he met. What was her name again? Lu Xiao somethin? Lu Xia? Meh, whatever. Well, either way, his decision was influenced by her, not because of her beauty, how could you think it like that... he got his Ying'er to accompany him, but because of her cultivation.

You see, Wang Xue is a combat addict otherwise how has he not died yet by assassination attempts. When he finds someone who has an advantage or peaks his interest, his first thoughts are. LET'S FIGHT MAN! 1V1 ME! This Lu Xia or whatever her name is had a special cultivation base. For every realm, there is a stage higher than that. The Perfection Stage. What it basically does is, it allows you to pwn sc.u.m at a lower stage than you completely!

So when he acquired this knowledge by using... underhanded methods, no not that kind of methods! How could you expect him to cheat on his Ying'er like that!? Underhanded methods as in brib- fair trades, yes, yes fair trades nothing bad on his flawless reputation. It was time for him to put this knowledge to the test by attempting this for the current realm he's in.

He took a deep breath and sat in a lotus position as he then started to regulate his breathing. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. When his body became attuned to the slow and consistent breathing, he closed his eyes and began to mutter something. The words were in some kind of ancient language that seemed to be privy only to him, it came from the manual.

When he chanted the words, his body started to tremble as his body's pores started opening. Inside his body, there was a small ball of blue liquid which started to vigorously cycle like an ouroboros. It then started to spread out into his body as it traveled through his meridians and made a complete cycle in his body.

While he did this, the pores which were open on the outside started to consume countless amounts of Heaven & Earth Qi which was refined into the Spiritual Energy that continued to feed the cycle. As he continued the cycle, he was experiencing a pleasant sensation as the Spiritual Energy massaged his muscles and meridians which unfortunately made him give out a comfortable groan leaving him red but luckily, there was no one with him.

Never had this feel so good even when I had a Heaven-Grade Spirit! He thought inwardly as he appreciated the joy. However, when he breathed in, he smelled a foul odor.

"What the f*ck is that smell!?" He cursed as he opened his eyes but what greeted him was a body that looked like it was thrown into a pile of cow manure and not simply thrown, it was more like he was slathered in it. What this black mucus was, was his impurities. No matter how blessed you are, everybody has impurities, even if its small it still counts.

He ended up taking another shower and when he looked out of the cave, it was already midnight. He thought to himself, what the heck how has that much hours passed in the span of cultivating? He didn't give it much thought however and checked his body, it seemed he was at the apex of layer 9 and it was time to break into the Perfect Layer.

However, it would usually require some kind of fruit or herb that is earth-shattering/world-devouring/earth-consum- you get the idea. But just for curiosity, he began to circulate his Spiritual Energy and suddenly, he broke through to the Perfect Realm.

"It's that goddamn easy?!"
