Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 113

Zongzheng Liuning couldn’t believe that Ye Wushuang was cultivating the Immortal Heavenly Art.

He simply couldn’t accept that Ye Wushuang had mastered it so effortlessly.

But as he carefully observed the depth of Ye Wushuang’s cultivation, his expression began to shift repeatedly.

He realized that Ye Wushuang had genuinely succeeded in his cultivation—there was no faking it.

Moreover, in just half a day, Ye Wushuang’s mastery of the Immortal Heavenly Art had grown even more profound.

This progress was like a series of sharp, stinging slaps across Zongzheng Liuning’s face.

What made it worse was that these slaps came from his own disciple, Ye Wushuang. Even if Zongzheng Liuning wanted to retaliate, he had no opportunity to do so.

“How is this possible? How could he progress so quickly? How is he so unbelievably talented?”

“Is he trying to drive me, his master, to my death? Why are these disciples getting more and more monstrous??”

Zongzheng Liuning could still make sense of the Divine Dragon Empress’s success in cultivating the Immortal Heavenly Art.

After all, she had paid a significant price in her efforts to master it.

It was she who had retrieved the Divine Phoenix True Blood, so even if she later reached an advanced stage in her cultivation, Zongzheng Liuning didn’t find it particularly unusual.

He was only a little jealous of her progress.

But now, Ye Wushuang had only been cultivating for half a day, yet his achievements already surpassed what Zongzheng Liuning had accomplished in six months. How could Zongzheng Liuning possibly accept this?

He had always considered himself a genius—someone who, even at the Immortal Emperor realm, could stand against a Supreme Realm expert.

But compared to Ye Wushuang’s cultivation speed, his own talent seemed utterly lacking.

The gap was so vast that Zongzheng Liuning couldn’t come to terms with it.

He even began to doubt himself.

“Could it be that I’m not actually a genius, but just an ordinary, average person?”

As human beings, who would willingly accept being just ordinary?

Especially someone like Zongzheng Liuning, who had demonstrated strength far beyond ordinary people.

He refused to believe that he was merely average.

But then he glanced again at Ye Wushuang, deep in cultivation, and sank back into self-doubt.

Ye Wushuang was unaware of Zongzheng Liuning’s inner turmoil.

At that moment, he was fully focused on improving himself.

Vast amounts of resources were being consumed as his mastery of the Immortal Heavenly Art advanced rapidly.

This progress even brought a slight increase in his physical strength.

However, these gains were only in the range of ten thousand jin, far from meeting Ye Wushuang’s expectations.

So, he continued cultivating without pause.

This went on for three days. On the third day, an intense wave of energy suddenly erupted from Ye Wushuang.

As soon as this fluctuation appeared, Zongzheng Liuning rushed over.

He then saw a vortex form around Ye Wushuang—a vortex that resembled a deep, abyssal mouth, voraciously devouring the energy around him.

Massive amounts of spiritual energy swirled around Ye Wushuang and were absorbed into his body.

At the sight of this, Zongzheng Liuning’s expression shifted once again.

“Nirvana? Is he about to undergo Nirvana already?? Is this kid even human? He’s only been cultivating for three days, and he’s already entering his first Nirvana??”

“Is he really a dragon-blooded youth who dispersed his cultivation to start over? Or is he actually some ancient monster from the cultivation world??”

Zongzheng Liuning now seriously suspected that Ye Wushuang had cultivated the Immortal Heavenly Art before.

That would explain why his progress was so smooth and why he was about to undergo his first Nirvana so easily.

But no matter how he examined Ye Wushuang, he could only sense the aura of a youth—nothing suggesting possession by an ancient monster.

In the end, he had to conclude that this was simply Ye Wushuang’s innate talent, a gift he could never hope to match.

This realization made Zongzheng Liuning, who had just emerged from his self-doubt, feel like withdrawing into himself again.

Ye Wushuang’s cultivation speed was truly disheartening.

Fortunately, Ye Wushuang was too focused to pay attention to the outside world, or else he might have said something even more discouraging.

At that moment, Ye Wushuang was intently sensing the changes within his body.

He felt every cell in his body being renewed, while his physical strength continuously increased.

This renewal was happening from the inside out.

It wasn’t just occurring in his flesh and blood—it was taking place in his internal organs as well.

Soon, Ye Wushuang felt as though his organs had been completely revitalized.

They had not only become stronger but also gained enhanced regenerative abilities.

This was a sensation he had experienced before.

Now, he was experiencing it again.

However, this time felt different from the last.

The feeling of Nirvana was more pronounced, and the improvements were significantly more noticeable.

Even in the midst of Nirvana, Ye Wushuang could feel his strength breaking through to ten million jin of tremendous force.

Possessing such terrifying power at the Body Refinement Realm was almost unimaginable.

Even Ye Wushuang himself hadn’t expected to achieve such monstrous strength while still in the Body Refinement Realm.

Ten million jin of force undoubtedly surpassed that of any other Body Refinement Realm cultivator by at least twenty times.

What’s more, Ye Wushuang’s Nirvana wasn’t over yet—his strength was still increasing.

Ten million jin, fifteen million jin, twenty million jin!

As soon as he entered Nirvana, it was as though a shackle had been unlocked, and his strength grew at an astonishing rate.

By the time his Nirvana concluded, his strength had reached thirty million jin of tremendous force.

If this were ever revealed, it would undoubtedly shatter everyone’s understanding of cultivation.

However, such profound accumulation came at a great cost.

The resources consumed during this single Nirvana would have been enough for a genius to break through to the Sovereign Realm.

Yet, Ye Wushuang was still in the Body Refinement Realm. It was truly an incredible feat.

As soon as he completed his Nirvana, Zongzheng Liuning rushed over, his face full of tension.

“How do you feel? How do you feel now?”

“I feel like I can still grow stronger!!”

“You can still grow stronger??”

Hearing this, Zongzheng Liuning’s jaw dropped.

Although he didn’t know exactly how powerful Ye Wushuang was now, he could sense that Ye Wushuang’s strength definitely exceeded ten million jin.

For a Body Refinement Realm cultivator to possess over ten million jin of force was absolutely absurd.

But what was even more absurd was that after such a tremendous improvement, Ye Wushuang believed he could still grow stronger.

Zongzheng Liuning had no idea what Ye Wushuang’s limits were.

He only felt that Ye Wushuang’s Body Refinement Realm would be unprecedented and never replicated.

This made his heart race wildly, as though he had just obtained the world’s most precious treasure.
