Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 104

“What kind of technique could possibly deserve such high praise from you?”

“One that multiplies his combat power tenfold. At the time, he used the Divine Dragon Imperial Scripture to elevate his strength to the Supreme Realm, then activated this technique to amplify it further. With just a single grasp, he seized the Vermilion Bird Ancestor in his palm—forcing the entire Vermilion Bird Clan to surrender on the spot!”

“And when retrieving those thirty major realms, he annihilated over twenty Supreme Realm experts in an instant. Just imagine how terrifying that technique must be!”

“Hiss—!”

The Divine Dragon Empress sucked in a sharp breath.

Whether it was manhandling the Vermilion Bird Ancestor or slaughtering twenty-plus Supreme Realm experts in a blink—neither feat was remotely ordinary.

Even the strongest being in this universe might not be capable of such things.

After all, the Vermilion Bird Ancestor stood at the pinnacle of this cosmos. He might not be the absolute strongest, but he was undeniably among the top tier of powerhouses.

For someone like him to be plucked up like a helpless chick was nothing short of mind-shattering.

As for instantly obliterating over twenty Supreme Realm experts? That was even more horrifying.

No Supreme Realm expert in existence could replicate such a feat.

At this point, the Divine Dragon Empress had no choice but to be stunned.

“Does such a monstrous technique truly exist in this world?”

“It didn’t—until now. No one had ever created something so terrifying before. But he did. Not only did he master it himself, he even left behind a recorded copy!”

“Then… then…!”

Even someone as formidable as the Divine Dragon Empress was at a loss.

She couldn’t even bring herself to suggest keeping such a technique within the Divine Dragon Empire.

For one, its sheer power would inevitably draw catastrophic envy and conflict.

Secondly, she had no idea how to even ask Ye Wushuang if he’d be willing to leave a copy behind.

But soon, she pushed the dilemma aside.

“What’s the second technique you mentioned?”

“The second one merges the Kun Peng Divine Technique and the Void Law into something unprecedented—a movement art that allows him to traverse an entire world in an instant.”

“Traverse a world… in an instant?!”

The Divine Dragon Empress’s mind went blank again.

This level of speed defied all logic.

She never imagined such a technique could exist.

What kind of absurd velocity was this?

Even a true Kun Peng, legendary for its speed, couldn’t achieve this!

More importantly, extreme speed translated to extreme lethality.

At such velocities, his attacks would be impossible to evade.

And if he chose to flee? No one could stop him.

He could vanish from a battlefield before his enemies even finished setting up their formations.

It was ludicrously overpowered.

So much so that the Divine Dragon Empress stood frozen for a long moment.

Finally, she stammered:

“He… he created all of this himself?!”

“Yes. Every bit of it. His talent is unrivaled.”

“Then… how could I possibly keep him now?!”

In the past, the Divine Dragon Empress wouldn’t have worried about retaining someone like Ye Wushuang.

After all, the Divine Dragon Empire was a major power with vast resources—more than enough to tempt most geniuses.

But now?

His talent was too monstrous, his self-created techniques too world-shaking.

She genuinely feared nothing could bind him to her empire.

Not even becoming his Dao Companion might be enough.

Especially since she owed him her life—making it even harder to negotiate terms.

Forcing him to stay? Unthinkable.

Yet instead of sharing her concern, the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal laughed.

“With other geniuses? You’d be right. Most are arrogant, always chasing greater heights.”

“But Ye Wushuang? He’s different.”

“From what I’ve seen, he’s fiercely loyal—whether to Imperial Advisor Zongzheng Liu Ning, Liu Ningxian, or even Murong Wan’er. He’s helped them all without demanding anything in return.”

“He lacks the typical arrogance of prodigies. Instead, he’s humble, warm, and grounded.”

“If the Divine Dragon Empire treats him well—if he develops a sense of belonging here—he’ll stay voluntarily.”

“Most importantly… give him a home. Or better yet…”

The Imperial Seal’s gaze drifted meaningfully toward the Empress.

The implication was obvious.

Ye Wushuang’s bloodline was already highly compatible with hers. They were natural Dao Companions.

Now, with his heaven-defying talent revealed, the match was even more ideal—a union that could elevate the empire to unprecedented heights.

The Divine Dragon Empress understood.

And surprisingly, she didn’t resist the idea.

She’d never disliked Ye Wushuang to begin with.

Now, seeing how extraordinary he was? She was more than pleased.

But she wasn’t one to rush.

Even with budding affection—and the likelihood of a future partnership—she refrained from taking initiative.

Instead, she wondered: Would this really be enough to keep him?

As if reading her thoughts, the Imperial Seal reassured her:

“Relax. We will hold onto him.”

“I suspect once you swap back, he’ll reforge his cultivation from scratch—building an even more unshakable foundation.”

“When that time comes, he’ll need massive resources. If we support him unconditionally, he’ll reciprocate tenfold.”

“And knowing him? His repayment will far exceed our investment.”

“Rebuilding his cultivation… With his talent, he absolutely could!”

“Exactly. So we anticipate his needs, ensure he faces no hardships, and he’ll naturally grow attached.”

“Trust me—he won’t leave the Divine Dragon Empire.”

The Imperial Seal had a strong premonition.

Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress…

Their fates were already intertwined.
