Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 120

Ye Wushuang was unaware of Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning’s thoughts.

Had he known, he would have found it both amusing and exasperating.

However, he paid no mind to whether Liu Ning was observing him or not. He continued engraving his Dao marks.

Soon, he engraved the Vermilion Bird Dao technique into one of his divine caverns.

Then came the Divine Phoenix Dao technique.

These were all techniques possessed by the Divine Dragon Empire.

Liu Ning found them very familiar.

But he did not question their origin, simply assuming the Divine Dragon Empress had taught them to Ye Wushuang.

Once this idea took hold, everything else seemed to fall into place.

The only thing that puzzled Liu Ning was how Ye Wushuang’s comprehension could be so formidable.

He had actually mastered so many difficult-to-cultivate Dao techniques.

This made Liu Ning wonder if Ye Wushuang, like the Divine Dragon Empress, could comprehend supreme Dao techniques in an incredibly short time.

Had he devoted all his energy after breaking through to the Venerable Realm to cultivating supreme Dao techniques?

No one answered this question for Liu Ning, nor did he dwell on it deeply.

He was more concerned with whether Ye Wushuang would finish engraving all twelve Dao marks.

Under his watchful gaze, Ye Wushuang indeed proceeded.

However, the twelfth Dao technique Ye Wushuang intended to engrave was one Liu Ning had never seen before.

Merely sensing the fluctuations of this technique from Ye Wushuang gave him a palpitation of fear.

“What… what kind of Dao technique is this??”

Liu Ning felt no familiarity with these Dao technique fluctuations.

He was certain this technique did not belong to the Divine Dragon Imperial Family.

Yet, since it wasn’t an imperial technique and Ye Wushuang was engraving it, it underscored the technique’s extraordinary nature.

Liu Ning couldn’t quite pinpoint what made it extraordinary.

He just felt that this technique seemed to pose a tremendous threat to him.

So much so that Liu Ning instinctively took three steps back, unable to look directly at Ye Wushuang.

Even though Ye Wushuang was still very weak, Liu Ning sensed a intense threat from him.

This astonished him greatly.

“Just what technique is this, to have such terrifying deterrence? It hasn’t even been fully manifested yet, and it’s already enough to threaten me, a Immortal Emperor Realm expert?”

“Could it be… it contains a supreme rule??”

Although Liu Ning was in the Immortal Emperor Realm, his own power rivaled that of a Supreme Realm expert.

Therefore, any Dao technique that could make him feel threatened with just a glance was absolutely extraordinary.

Thus, he concluded it must be a Dao technique imbued with a supreme rule.

It must be said, Liu Ning’s discernment was exceptionally sharp.

Ye Wushuang’s twelfth Dao mark was, in fact, the Restriction Rule inherent to his own divine cavern.

What Ye Wushuang was doing was engraving this very rule into his divine cavern.

He intended to use his divine cavern to nurture his cavern’s rule. In the future, once his Restriction Rule was fully formed,

he could restrain his enemies with just a raise of his hand, even without using the divine cavern itself.

Moreover, the restraining power he could unleash later might even surpass that contained within his divine cavern.

This was precisely why Ye Wushuang needed to engrave the Restriction Rule into his divine cavern.

And the moment he did so, the extraordinary nature of the Restriction Law became immediately apparent.

Someone as powerful as Liu Ning could not ignore its presence.

This also demonstrated that Ye Wushuang’s choice was correct.

However, he didn’t pay too much attention to Liu Ning’s reaction.

After finishing the engraving of the twelve Dao techniques, he sank into a deeper state of cultivation.

This so-called deeper cultivation essentially involved enhancing the magical power within his body and strengthening his physical body strength.

Although Ye Wushuang had now engraved twelve Dao techniques, his Dao Nurturing Realm had not yet reached its limit, and there was still room for his power to grow.

Under these circumstances, Ye Wushuang naturally needed to solidify his foundation, not build a castle in the air.

Therefore, after engraving the Dao marks, he completely disregarded them and focused all his energy on increasing his magical power and physical strength.

Under this deliberate control, his physical strength improved dramatically.

This was especially true for his Eight-Nine Heavenly Art, which advanced at an astonishing rate.

Originally, being merely in the Dao Nurturing Realm, he wasn’t qualified to cultivate the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art at all.

For the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art, the Dao Nurturing Realm hadn’t even touched the threshold, let alone achieved the first layer.

But Ye Wushuang’s power was simply too immense. This tremendous strength allowed him to disregard the realm gap and directly master the Eight-Nine Heavenly Art.

The same was true for the Undying Heavenly Art.

These Heavenly Arts typically started at the King Realm.

Only after reaching the King Realm would one have a chance to cultivate the first layer of a Heavenly Art.

But Ye Wushuang shattered these limitations outright, enabling himself to cultivate these Heavenly Arts while still in the Divine Cavern Realm and the Dao Nurturing Realm.

Witnessing this, Liu Ning could barely contain his excitement.

No amount of praise would be excessive for such a prodigious genius.

This also solidified Liu Ning’s determination to nurture Ye Wushuang with all their resources, no matter the cost.

Twelve divine caverns, engraved with twelve supreme Dao techniques.

This was absolutely unprecedented and likely never to be seen again.

It further strengthened Liu Ning’s resolve to foster Ye Wushuang’s growth.

Consequently, he allocated yet another massive batch of resources to Ye Wushuang’s location.

This frequent mobilization of resources finally drew the attention of others within the Divine Dragon Imperial Family.

“Have you noticed? Lately, resources have been frequently allocated to one individual within the imperial family!!”

“You mean that person called Ye Wushuang? I heard he’s Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning’s disciple. It’s only right for the Elder to allocate resources to him!!”

“How can it be ‘only right’? The resources mobilized for him during this period could nurture an immortal king realm expert! If those resources were given to us, we might have already become immortal king realm experts! Yet, from what I know, this Ye Wushuang isn’t even in the Venerable Realm!!”

“Huh? Are you sure? He’s not even in the Venerable Realm, yet he’s consuming so many of our Divine Dragon Imperial Family’s resources? Is he secretly selling them off? Otherwise, how could he possibly consume that many resources??”

If Ye Wushuang were an immortal king realm expert, these people wouldn’t question it.

Great power itself is the best justification.

However, Ye Wushuang’s current realm wasn’t even the Venerable Realm, which meant he couldn’t convince anyone.

Thus, many people began looking for a reason to cause trouble for him.
