Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 115
Murong Wan’er believed that Ye Wushuang’s decision to restart his cultivation was an attempt to win more favor over her.
Thus, she made up her mind: she would restart her own cultivation as well.
Ye Wushuang was unaware of this. Had he known, he would have found it both amusing and frustrating.
After all, the one who had actually inspired Murong Wan’er to restart her cultivation was none other than himself!
However, Ye Wushuang had no mind for external matters at this moment. He had only one goal: to break through to the Divine Sanctuary realm.
Once the resources he needed arrived, he didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately began his breakthrough.
Just as Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning had said, Ye Wushuang’s previous strength was immense, and he already possessed a profound understanding of the Divine Sanctuary realm.
Therefore, breaking through was remarkably straightforward for him.
Ye Wushuang felt almost no resistance whatsoever as his power grew steadily and solidly.
But this time, it wasn’t just his physical strength that increased—his spiritual energy (magic power) also began to grow.
Upon entering the Divine Sanctuary realm, one no longer relies solely on physical power; spiritual energy becomes usable.
However, the spiritual energy at this stage isn’t very potent, and not even Dao spells have fully coalesced yet. Only simple magical techniques can be employed.
Once spiritual energy was born within him, Ye Wushuang swiftly began to form his first Divine Sanctuary.
A Divine Sanctuary, also known as a “grotto-heaven” or blessed land, isn’t a physical place on a mountain, but a realm within one’s own body.
These sanctuaries can provide their owner with vast amounts of spiritual qi.
Some even develop their Divine Sanctuaries into entire worlds.
These worlds are not only brimming with spiritual energy but can also host various life forms. While far smaller than the major world, they can still be considered miniature worlds in their own right!
And the master of the sanctuary is the sovereign of that world. Within their own grotto-heaven, they can do absolutely anything.
Of course, Ye Wushuang currently had no intention of creating a world.
Forging a sanctuary into a world would inevitably consume a tremendous amount of energy and focus.
Right now, Ye Wushuang simply wanted to increase his strength rapidly.
With this goal in mind, his first Divine Sanctuary was formed very quickly.
From the moment it appeared, it felt immensely solid and vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles—far exceeding the sanctuaries of other Divine Sanctuary realm cultivators, by a hundredfold or more.
Yet, even so, Ye Wushuang didn’t immediately move on to creating a second sanctuary.
Instead, he focused on reinforcing and expanding this new one.
Although he was eager to grow stronger, he understood how crucial it was to solidify his foundation.
If the foundation wasn’t secure, advancing too quickly could lead to disastrous consequences—like tearing something that shouldn’t be torn.
Therefore, consolidating his first Divine Sanctuary was of utmost importance.
Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning had been observing Ye Wushuang’s breakthrough the entire time.
Seeing that Ye Wushuang wasn’t rushing to form a second or third sanctuary, but was instead strengthening his first, Liu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t help but murmur in admiration.
“Truly remarkable. This level of mental fortitude is exceedingly rare!”
“To resist the temptation of rapid power growth and maintain such self-control… this temperament is simply not something ordinary geniuses possess.”
“I can say with absolute certainty now: as long as he doesn’t meet an untimely end, our Divine Dragon Imperial Family will undoubtedly gain another peerless, invincible genius!”
Ye Wushuang’s talent and temperament were simply too exceptional—so much so that Liu Ning felt there could be no genius better.
This performance solidified Liu Ning’s resolve to protect Ye Wushuang carefully, ensuring no external threats would harm him.
Ye Wushuang, of course, was unaware of this.
After consolidating his first sanctuary, he began forming his second.
The second sanctuary formed as smoothly as the first, requiring almost no effort—it came together naturally.
This ease was within Ye Wushuang’s expectations.
After all, his Body Forging realm foundation was overwhelmingly strong, enough to crush anyone else’s.
Upon entering the Divine Sanctuary realm, if he hadn’t actively suppressed it, he might have formed ten sanctuaries in an instant.
So, creating a second sanctuary was effortless for him.
And after forming it, he again didn’t rush forward. He diligently reinforced this new sanctuary, making it stronger and more stable.
Only when it could be fortified no further did he temporarily stop and begin working on his third sanctuary.
Step by step, in just ten days, Ye Wushuang had formed ten Divine Sanctuaries.
This speed of cultivation left Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning utterly stunned.
“Too fast! This cultivation speed is simply too fast! Ten sanctuaries in ten days—one sanctuary per day!”
“If this were to spread, countless people would go mad with astonishment!”
Such a rate of cultivation was absolutely unprecedented.
This uniqueness also signified Ye Wushuang’s extraordinary talent.
His transcendent talent left Liu Ning practically running out of words to praise him.
Much like the Divine Dragon Imperial Seal had been before him, Liu Ning found his understanding constantly refreshed and his mind repeatedly blown.
However, Liu Ning didn’t just revel in ecstasy. On the contrary, he grew somewhat nervous.
Ye Wushuang had formed ten sanctuaries. Next, he would attempt to form the eleventh.
This was a critical juncture. If Ye Wushuang could take this step, then forming twelve sanctuaries—a truly exceptional feat—would be within reach.
Surpassing his peers by a vast margin would then be effortless.
But if he failed to take this step, his advantage over others would be less pronounced.
What Liu Ning saw as a difficult barrier, however, proved to be easy for Ye Wushuang.
After forming ten sanctuaries, Ye Wushuang felt that he still possessed immense latent potential—enough to form even more.
So, without any hesitation, he began forming a new sanctuary once again.
Guided by his consciousness, his new sanctuary gradually took shape.
Soon, his eleventh Divine Sanctuary was successfully formed.
He then proceeded to reinforce this new sanctuary as well.
The next day, after the eleventh sanctuary was fully consolidated, he followed his intuition and smoothly formed his twelfth Divine Sanctuary.
The appearance of the twelfth sanctuary left Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning completely flabbergasted.
He never imagined that forming twelve sanctuaries would be so simple for Ye Wushuang.
One sanctuary per day. Twelve sanctuaries in twelve days.
It was as if there were no barriers for him whatsoever—it all happened naturally and logically.
Once again, Liu Ning could only sigh in amazement.
“Too fast! His cultivation speed is truly too fast!”
“One sanctuary a day… It’s as if there are no cultivation barriers for him at all! He truly must be a chosen son of heaven!”
