Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 114

After completing his Nirvana, it felt as if a shackle had been unlocked within Ye Wushuang.

While consuming vast amounts of resources, his strength increased at an astonishing rate.

Forty million jin, fifty million jin, sixty million jin…

Even Ye Wushuang himself hadn’t expected his power to grow so smoothly.

Such rapid improvement was undoubtedly a tremendous blessing for him.

This blessing immersed him so deeply that he was reluctant to emerge from his cultivation.

The only thing was that the weight adjusted by the Vermilion Bird Seal in his hand grew increasingly heavier.

This period of secluded cultivation lasted for a full month.

In that month, the resources Ye Wushuang consumed would have been enough to support a genius’s cultivation all the way to the True Immortal Realm.

In such a short time, the mobilization of such a massive amount of resources inevitably drew the attention of many interested parties.

Especially since Ye Wushuang also held the position of Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards, which made even more people curious about exactly who he was.

However, Ye Wushuang remained in seclusion throughout and never made an appearance.

Thus, many had only heard his name but had never seen him in person.

Everyone was filled with curiosity about Ye Wushuang.

But Ye Wushuang had no intention of satisfying their curiosity.

What he wanted to do was simply utilize the available resources to cultivate diligently.

He was still only in the Body Refinement Realm, and the path ahead was long—there was no room for slackness.

After a month of improvement, his strength had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.

His Body Refinement had once again reached a limit.

However, this limit was completely different from the previous one.

This time, Ye Wushuang’s limit was ninety-nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand jin of tremendous force.

This was more than ten times the strength he had before Nirvana.

Upon reaching this level of power, Ye Wushuang sensed that his Body Refinement Realm had truly reached its peak.

“It seems this is the utmost limit of the Body Refinement Realm. Advancing further is basically impossible.”

“Still, this level of strength is already more than a hundred times that of others.”

“Breaking through with this foundation will undoubtedly establish an unprecedented cultivation base!!”

With this in mind, Ye Wushuang didn’t hesitate. He immediately requested more resources from the Divine Dragon Empress.

At the same time, he informed Zongzheng Liuning that he was ready to break through the Body Refinement Realm and enter the Cave Heaven Realm.

Hearing this, Zongzheng Liuning grew particularly anxious.

“Finally entering the Cave Heaven Realm! If you hadn’t broken through soon, I would have had to force you out of seclusion to advance!”

“Having such profound accumulation is both a good and a bad thing!”

“The good part is that your foundation is incredibly solid!”

“The bad part is that breaking through to the next realm might be even more difficult!!”

Not only would it be more difficult, but it would also require consuming even more resources.

However, over this period, Zongzheng Liuning had learned that the Divine Dragon Empress was continuously allocating resources to Ye Wushuang, so resource availability wasn’t really an issue for him.

“Fortunately, you’ve broken through to the Cave Heaven Realm before, so it shouldn’t be too difficult for you.”

“However, there’s one thing I must emphasize!”

“Those top-tier geniuses, when they break through to the Cave Heaven Realm, typically open ten cave heavens!”

“These ten cave heavens are like ten individual worlds—extremely important in the early stages, as they continuously supply spiritual energy to the cultivator!”

“A Cave Heaven Realm expert with ten cave heavens can truly be considered a prodigy among prodigies!”

“But you… you’re different from those people.”

At this point, Zongzheng Liuning’s eyes burned with even greater intensity.

He had genuinely never heard of a talent like Ye Wushuang before.

Thus, his expectations for Ye Wushuang were even higher.

“Legend has it that the strongest in the Cave Heaven Realm are actually peerless geniuses who possess twelve cave heavens!”

“However, from ancient times to the present, basically no one has ever achieved twelve cave heavens. No one has accumulated enough to reach that level!”

“Even unparalleled prodigies cannot open twelve cave heavens. Even your senior sister and I only opened ten!”

“It’s like an insurmountable barrier that has limited countless people!”

“But your accumulation in the Body Refinement Realm is so profound that I believe you can break this barrier and achieve the legendary twelve cave heavens!!”

“If you truly succeed in this step, your future will be virtually predetermined—an unstoppable destiny!!”

Zongzheng Liuning had a premonition that once Ye Wushuang reached this level, no one in the world would be able to stand against him once he fully matured.

It was even possible that after reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, he could challenge Supreme Realm experts without relying on any treasures or strength-boosting secret arts.

The thought of this excited Zongzheng Liuning immensely.

If Ye Wushuang truly achieved this, the Divine Dragon Royal Family would boast two exceptional talents—truly an unstoppable force.

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang was also greatly surprised.

Previously, he had thought the Cave Heaven Realm only had ten cave heavens.

So, he had assumed that he, too, would possess ten cave heavens in the Cave Heaven Realm.

But after listening to Zongzheng Liuning, he immediately changed his mind.

His accumulation in the Body Refinement Realm was so profound—how could he settle for only ten cave heavens?

Without any hesitation, Ye Wushuang once again requested the allocation of even more resources.

Naturally, this drew even more attention.

Among those taking notice was Murong Wan’er.

Murong Wan’er had been hesitating for a long time about whether to disperse her cultivation and start over, unable to make a decision.

Her father had warned her that dispersing her cultivation would not only leave her with no strength but could also damage her mental state due to the loss of realm.

Thus, her family advised her against disperse the power and start over.

Although Murong Wan’er served by the Divine Dragon Empress’s side, she had been wavering on this matter.

When she saw Ye Wushuang mobilizing such vast resources in such a short time, she immediately sensed something unusual.

She hurriedly reported the matter to the Divine Dragon Empress.

However, the Empress’s response completely exceeded Murong Wan’er’s expectations.

“Give him whatever resources he needs. Authorize the transfers directly. There’s no need to report to me!!”

“But… such a massive amount of resources… Could it be that Ye Wushuang is breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm?”

The resources involved were enough for a genius to advance to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

So, Murong Wan’er speculated that Ye Wushuang was preparing to break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm.

It was just that the speed was too fast—so fast it felt unbelievable.

After all, just a year ago, Ye Wushuang’s strength was only at the Sovereign Realm.

And now he was reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm?

“Not at all. He didn’t break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm. He dispersed his cultivation and started over!!”

“Dispersed his cultivation and started over??”

“He felt his previous cultivation wasn’t perfect enough, so he decided to begin anew!!”

The Divine Dragon Empress’s reply was measured and carried no particular undertone.

But to Murong Wan’er’s ears, the meaning was entirely different.

The Empress had previously mentioned the idea of disperse the power and start over to her, and she had been hesitating until now.

She never expected that the dragon-blooded youth had actually gone ahead and done it—just like that.

As if it required no deliberation at all.

Such daring left Murong Wan’er momentarily stunned.

Then, her eyes hardened with resolve, and she gritted her teeth!

“So you really are trying to steal favor from me, to compete for my position as the one who attends the Empress!!”

“Fine! Since you dare to disperse your cultivation and start over, what do I have to fear!!”

Ye Wushuang had always been Murong Wan’er’s imaginary rival for the Empress’s favor.

And the words of the Divine Dragon Empress were interpreted by Murong Wan’er as a subtle hint from Her Majesty.

This hint immediately made Murong Wan’er decide to disperse her cultivation and start over!!
