Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 116

Even Ye Wushuang himself hadn’t anticipated just how smoothly forming twelve Divine Sanctuaries would go.

After all, these were the legendary twelve sanctuaries—a number no one had ever reached before.

They represented the true, invincible pinnacle of this realm.

The moment the twelfth sanctuary solidified, Ye Wushuang felt as if a domain had manifested around him.

This domain was composed of his twelve sanctuaries. Upon its appearance, it enveloped the area for tens of thousands of miles around him.

Within this vast radius, no cultivator in the Divine Sanctuary realm could possibly be a match for Ye Wushuang.

He even felt confident enough to challenge those one or two minor realms above him.

As long as the disparity in raw power wasn’t overwhelmingly vast, he was practically invincible within his own domain.

Such was the might of twelve Divine Sanctuaries.

If others were to learn of this, they would be struck speechless with shock.

The mere notion of a Divine Sanctuary realm cultivator possessing a domain was utterly unbelievable.

Yet, after examining his twelve sanctuaries, Ye Wushuang frowned.

His twelve sanctuaries were immensely powerful, far surpassing those of any other Divine Sanctuary cultivator.

A single one of his sanctuaries could likely rival two of someone else’s.

Even so, Ye Wushuang felt that the latent potential within his body hadn’t been fully tapped.

It was a sensation akin to having ten units of strength within, yet only being able to utilize three or four.

This feeling made him yearn to form more sanctuaries, to grow even stronger.

However, twelve sanctuaries was the known limit, corresponding to the twelve stages of the realm. Attempting to increase the number seemed impossible.

Ye Wushuang fell deep into thought.

“Clearly, my potential hasn’t been fully realized. Just twelve sanctuaries are no longer enough for me!!”

“But it seems the human body can only form a maximum of twelve Divine Sanctuaries. Increasing the number is obviously impossible!”

“The only way is to increase the quality of the sanctuaries, to make them more powerful, to fully unleash my potential!!”

“So then I…!”

After only a few moments of contemplation, a decision crystalized in his mind.

Subsequently, his twelve Divine Sanctuaries began to spin wildly.

Their rotation caused massive fluctuations in spiritual energy.

But that wasn’t the most critical part. The crucial point was that as the twelve sanctuaries spun, they also began moving closer together.

Following this trend, they were likely to collide and grind against each other.

If that happened, his sanctuaries would likely experience an incredibly violent collision.

The aftermath of such a collision could lead to unforeseen and unpredictable consequences.

Watching from outside, Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning’s face drastically changed color after just one glance.

“What’s happening? Has controlling twelve sanctuaries proven too difficult, causing them all to go out of control??”

“This is bad, this is very bad! If these twelve sanctuaries spiral out of control, Ye Wushuang could be finished! Our Divine Dragon Imperial Family’s peerless genius would be utterly ruined!!”

“What do I do? What should I do now??”

For a moment, the usually steady and composed Liu Ning was at a complete loss.

An impulse surged within him: to rush into Ye Wushuang’s secluded cultivation chamber, suppress the violent turbulence of the twelve sanctuaries, and prevent them from losing control.

However, the moment he took a single step forward, he noticed the expression on Ye Wushuang’s face was wrong.

There wasn’t a trace of panic on Ye Wushuang’s face—only calmness, an immense and profound calmness.

It was as if he was completely unaware that his twelve sanctuaries were supposedly going berserk.

This demeanor immediately made Liu Ning realize the situation might be different from what he had imagined.

“Could it be… this is intentionally controlled by him??”

“No, I mustn’t be too impulsive. I need to watch more, keep observing a while longer!!”

If Ye Wushuang was intentionally controlling his sanctuaries, charging in now would only interrupt his cultivation.

Such an interruption would be a major taboo in cultivation.

Therefore, Liu Ning forcibly suppressed his inner impulse and simply waited quietly to the side.

He remained on high alert, ready to intervene immediately to ensure Ye Wushuang’s safety the moment anything went wrong.

Ye Wushuang, of course, was unaware of this.

At this moment, he was wholly focused on controlling his twelve Divine Sanctuaries, guiding them to slowly draw closer and gradually merge together.

Initially, even as they approached, they behaved more like twelve incompatible individual entities, constantly colliding, impacting each other, and generating immense repulsive forces.

The energy released from these collisions continuously battered against Ye Wushuang’s body.

His body became like a battlefield, ravaged by the forces generated by the twelve clashing sanctuaries.

The violent power contained within was enough to tear apart any ordinary Divine Sanctuary realm expert; even a Yudao (Nurturing Dao) realm powerhouse wouldn’t be able to withstand such violent energy.

However, Ye Wushuang’s physical body was extraordinarily powerful. His raw physical strength alone had reached a colossal 99,990,000 jin (a unit of force). His bodily toughness far surpassed that of other Divine Sanctuary, Yudao, and even Daogong (Dao Palace) realm experts.

Therefore, although the colliding forces of the twelve sanctuaries were immensely powerful, they couldn’t shake Ye Wushuang.

Relying solely on the strength of his flesh (ròu shēn – flesh body), he withstood the violent energy generated by the colliding sanctuaries.

Then, directly confronting the violent forces of the continuous collisions, he forcibly drove the fusion of the twelve sanctuaries.

This process was undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

The slightest lapse in attention, and his twelve sanctuaries could easily spiral out of control.

Fortunately, Ye Wushuang had previously managed and controlled power that surpassed even the Supreme realm level. Thus, controlling these twelve sanctuaries became a relatively simple task for him.

Under his precise control, his twelve sanctuaries, while still colliding constantly, also began to merge together, bit by bit.

This fusion was very unique.

It was as if the twelve sanctuaries were being forcefully kneaded together, yet also seemed to be merging autonomously, slowly forming one enormous sanctuary—or perhaps, a massive world.

This world was different from the previous sanctuaries. It no longer simply revolved around Ye Wushuang’s person. Instead, it slowly merged together behind him, taking the form of a luminous moon.

Then, it began to radiate boundless, endless light.

It was about to take its final form.

Under Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning’s watchful gaze, it went through a grinding, breaking-in process for a full five days. Finally, after five days, it stabilized, becoming a single, unique Divine Sanctuary.

However, this sanctuary contained infinite divine light within it, and the spiritual energy inside had transformed into immortal qi (fairy energy/immortal energy).

It hovered behind Ye Wushuang, setting him off within its radiance, making him appear like a deity walking the mortal world—sacred and noble!!
