Having discovered the Divine Dragon Empress staying by Ye Wushuang’s side, Sect Elder Liu Ning also went into seclusion for training.
This left only Liu Ningxian here by herself.
However, she didn’t mind this at all. She was more than willing to guard Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress.
But before taking on the role of their guardian, she sent a message back to her sect.
Before coming out, she had originally planned to stay in the Divine Dragon Empire for only one year, to watch over the empire for the Divine Dragon Empress for that duration.
But now, not only had more than a year passed…
More importantly, Liu Ningxian no longer intended to leave.
So, she absolutely had to explain this situation clearly. Otherwise, it could easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
Little did she know, the very message she sent back would mark the beginning of those misunderstandings.
Unaware of the matters unfolding outside, Ye Wushuang was at this moment completely immersed in his cultivation.
Compared to others, his cultivation was undoubtedly far more complex.
Others only needed to cultivate one method, focusing wholeheartedly on that single path.
But the cultivation methods practiced by Ye Wushuang were not just one.
His primary focus was still his Divine Dragon’s Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art. This technique not only enhanced his bloodline power but also continuously raised his upper limits.
Especially after his bloodline underwent several awakenings, his body had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Ye Wushuang suspected that the violet energy within him resulted from practicing the Divine Dragon’s Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art combined with the power of the grotto-heaven within his body.
Thus, it had evolved into its current state.
Cultivating the Divine Dragon’s Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art was of paramount importance to Ye Wushuang.
Secondly, he needed to cultivate the Immortal Heavenly Art and the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art. These two arts could dramatically enhance his physical constitution.
Especially after gaining the violet energy, the power of these two techniques became even greater, boosting Ye Wushuang’s capabilities to a higher level.
Therefore, Ye Wushuang didn’t want to slack off in their cultivation for even a moment.
Furthermore, Ye Wushuang had to reinforce his internal grotto-heaven and perfect the laws of confinement within it.
All these tasks combined made Ye Wushuang’s cultivation workload exceptionally heavy.
However, while the workload was heavy, the foundation Ye Wushuang was accumulating surpassed everyone’s imagination.
The more he cultivated, the more he amassed.
In particular, his cultivation speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Despite practicing multiple methods simultaneously, his progress didn’t lag in the slightest.
On the contrary, his cultivation speed was much faster than that of many so-called geniuses.
It had to be said, this was akin to a miracle.
Anyone who knew would undoubtedly be astounded.
Yet even so, Ye Wushuang was not satisfied. He continued to frantically improve himself.
He even compressed the immortal energy and violet energy within his body, aiming to make them more dense and substantial.
This compression caused Ye Wushuang’s cultivation speed to slow down once again.
Simultaneously, his consumption of resources also increased dramatically.
The mountain of resources before him often vanished at a visibly rapid pace.
His body was like a bottomless pit, voraciously devouring those resources.
Yet no matter how much he absorbed, it never seemed to be enough.
If not for the fact that his strength was steadily improving bit by bit, such consumption might even raise doubts about whether it was all in vain.
Fortunately, everything was under Ye Wushuang’s control.
Thus, he felt no panic, proceeding with his cultivation step by step.
This cultivation session lasted for two months.
In these two months, Ye Wushuang’s resources were once again depleted.
However, by this time, Ye Wushuang himself had undergone another earth-shattering transformation.
His realm was no longer the previous Immortal Realm but had directly leaped to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Not only that, he had also cultivated both his Eight-Nine Heavenly Art and Immortal Heavenly Art to the Heavenly Immortal level.
His internal Divine Dragon’s Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art had even reached the limit of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the power of his bloodline had significantly strengthened once more.
Yet this enhancement did not trigger a heavenly tribulation.
So, everything happened silently, without fanfare.
But for Ye Wushuang, the most important change was that all the immortal spiritual energy within his body had been converted into violet energy.
Now, he was completely filled with violet energy. Even the operation of all his techniques had transformed to utilize violet energy.
This caused his combat power to multiply several times over.
Possessing such violet energy, even Ye Wushuang himself wasn’t entirely sure what level he had actually reached.
He only felt that once he reached the Immortal King Realm, he would surely part the clouds and face the world directly.
Apart from those invincible supreme experts, he would have no need to fear anyone.
In a sense, Ye Wushuang was rapidly approaching parity with the Divine Dragon Empress in terms of strength.
However, advancing from the Immortal Realm to the Heavenly Immortal Realm had already consumed resources equivalent to three Supreme Realm experts.
To advance further from the Heavenly Immortal Realm to the Immortal King Realm would likely require a truly colossal amount of resources.
At the very least, resources equivalent to another three Supreme Realm experts.
Such a vast quantity of resources would pose a significant challenge even for the current Divine Dragon Imperial Family.
After all, the Imperial Family had already invested a tremendous amount in Ye Wushuang.
Producing even more resources in the short term would likely be impossible.
It might take one or several years of accumulation to gather enough resources to meet Ye Wushuang’s cultivation needs.
Thinking of this gave Ye Wushuang a headache.
“Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time. If there’s really no other way, then I’ll just have to go out into the world to search for resources myself!”
Although venturing out to find resources would bring considerable trouble, as long as he could obtain them, he was willing to bear those difficulties.
With this thought, Ye Wushuang felt somewhat relieved.
Then, without hesitation, he ended his seclusion and emerged.
The moment Ye Wushuang emerged, the Divine Dragon Empress was shocked.
Seeing Ye Wushuang again, she sensed an intensely sharp danger emanating from him.
It was as if Ye Wushuang merely standing there could threaten her very life.
Consider this: although Ye Wushuang was now a Heavenly Immortal expert, there was still a two-realm gap between him and the Divine Dragon Empress.
Moreover, these were major realms in the later stages of cultivation.
In the later stages, even a single minor realm represents a world of difference. Now, with two major realms between them, the gap should be like clouds and mud—utterly incomparable.
Yet even so, the Divine Dragon Empress clearly felt that intense, overwhelming danger from Ye Wushuang.
One could imagine just how profound Ye Wushuang’s accumulated foundation was, and how formidable his ability to challenge those above his level must be.
“You… you’ve finished your cultivation?”
“Mm. Finished. The resources are used up.”
“Again? Used up again? So quickly! And with such a massive pile of resources, you’re still only at the Heavenly Immortal Realm… Such accumulation… it’s truly unparalleled!”
