Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 129

The Divine Dragon Empress had left, but Chief Imperial Clan Minister Liu Ning remained.

Having witnessed the entire battle between Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, Liu Ning was utterly stunned.

He had known before that Ye Wushuang was powerful.

But he never imagined Ye Wushuang would be powerful to such an extent.

One must know that the Divine Dragon Empress was a true, peerless genius. For her, fighting across levels was as simple as drinking water.

If it weren’t so, she wouldn’t have been able to kill so many Supreme Realm experts before even reaching that realm herself.

Yet, this incredibly powerful Divine Dragon Empress had been defeated by Ye Wushuang, who fought above his level.

Moreover, he had fought across two levels.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Liu Ning would never have believed such a thing was possible.

And having seen it, he felt completely unsettled.

“If even Her Majesty is no match for him, then how could I possibly be his opponent in a spar??”

“By the time he reaches my realm, or even before, I might not be able to defeat him!”

“This…!”

As this thought emerged, Liu Ning felt a sense of embarrassment, but also overwhelming shock.

Ye Wushuang’s power simply couldn’t be measured by common sense.

Neither he, nor the Divine Dragon Empress, could compare to Ye Wushuang at the same realm.

Let alone anyone else.

One could foresee that once Ye Wushuang grew to his full potential, he would inevitably be even more formidable than the Divine Dragon Empress.

He might even achieve the legendary state of being invincible under the heavens.

Thinking of this, Liu Ning once again found it hard to contain his excitement.

He even felt an impulse to protect Ye Wushuang closely, to shield him personally.

A genius like this, so long as he didn’t fall, was destined for invincibility.

However, this thought had barely surfaced before Liu Ning quickly dismissed it.

Ye Wushuang was completely different from other geniuses. Not only was he immensely powerful, but his way of growth was also unique.

During his cultivation, Liu Ning had practically provided Ye Wushuang with no techniques or methods.

All those techniques were ones Ye Wushuang had comprehended himself.

Liu Ning hadn’t even taught Ye Wushuang how to cultivate, yet Ye Wushuang had progressed smoothly and logically.

It could be said that to reach his current level, aside from the resources provided by the Divine Dragon Imperial Family, Ye Wushuang hadn’t sought help from anyone.

He had forged his entire cultivation path through his own exploration.

Precisely because of this, this path was perfectly suited for Ye Wushuang, and it had forged his current invincibility.

If he were to forcibly interfere with Ye Wushuang’s cultivation now, he might disrupt Ye Wushuang’s chosen direction.

While his own methods might suit most geniuses, they did not include Ye Wushuang.

Because Ye Wushuang existed outside the category of ordinary geniuses.

In the end, Liu Ning abandoned the idea of protecting Ye Wushuang personally and teaching him hand-in-hand.

He decided to let Ye Wushuang walk his own path.

He would be an observer, a witness to it all.

However, recalling the scene of the battle between Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress, Liu Ning couldn’t help but sigh.

“This kid, his strikes are truly ruthless. Clearly, he has a relationship with Her Majesty, yet when they crossed hands, he showed no regard for past affections!”

“I’m just an observer here, there’s no need to put on a show for my benefit. It would be a shame if it affected your relationship!!”

Liu Ning believed that Ye Wushuang had acted so decisively because he, his master, was present.

Therefore, Ye Wushuang had to maintain appearances and couldn’t go easy on her.

That was why he had been so resolute and without hesitation during his exchange with the Divine Dragon Empress.

Ye Wushuang was completely unaware of Liu Ning’s thoughts.

At this time, he wasn’t yet sharp enough to perceive the subtle changes in people’s hearts.

Even when the Divine Dragon Empress wore that gentle red attire, he hadn’t found it particularly unusual.

His entire focus was fixed on cultivation.

Improving his realm was the most crucial matter for him right now.

Therefore, after the Divine Dragon Empress brought those resources, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest and immediately began his own training.

He was already nearing the peak of the Dao Palace Realm, on the verge of stepping into the King Realm.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly stop his cultivation?

Soon, Ye Wushuang’s cultivation session began again.

Vast amounts of spiritual energy and resources were drawn out, and the devouring vortex rose once more.

This time, it persisted for a long time without ceasing.

Ye Wushuang’s realm also advanced rapidly.

Soon, his strength was elevated to the peak of the Dao Palace Realm.

Afterwards, Ye Wushuang smoothly entered the King Realm.

This process seemed to encounter no obstacles whatsoever; it was incredibly fluid.

So fluid that it left Liu Ning a little unable to react.

However, after breaking through, Ye Wushuang didn’t pause for even a moment and continued his cultivation.

He was like a tireless machine, unwilling to stop even for a second.

This diligence caused his realm to advance by leaps and bounds. In merely ten days, he reached the peak of the King Realm.

One more step, and he would enter the Master Realm.

There were still many resources left that the Divine Dragon Empress had brought. Using these resources, Ye Wushuang could certainly enter the Master Realm.

However, it was at this moment that Ye Wushuang sensed something different within his body.

This difference originated from his bloodline.

The power of his bloodline had a tremendous influence on him.

Previously, it was precisely because of the existence of his bloodline power that he could break through his own limits and attain strength unattainable by ordinary people.

Furthermore, it was because of his bloodline power that his body could recover quickly during training.

And back then, Ye Wushuang had only undergone his initial bloodline awakening.

Just the initial awakening, and the bloodline power was already so terrifying.

One could imagine how fearsome the bloodline power would be once it was fully awakened.

And now, Ye Wushuang’s bloodline power was telling him that his bloodline was about to undergo its second awakening.

This immediately put Ye Wushuang on high alert.

His bloodline power was extraordinary; this was evident from the heavenly tribulation he experienced during his first awakening.

Now that the second awakening was approaching, Ye Wushuang naturally paid extra attention.

Of course, there was another reason for his intense focus: Ye Wushuang could sense that the second bloodline awakening would also involve a heavenly tribulation.

He could already feel the tribulation lightning brewing high in the Ninth Heaven, ready to descend at any moment.

Once the tribulation descended, it would surely be another earth-shattering event.
