Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 136

For the sake of having Ye Wushuang as a disciple, Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning and Liu Ningxian truly did battle in the Void.

It was quite rare for members of the Imperial Family to fight each other.

However, when they returned, neither of them looked happy.

Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning had believed his strength could potentially surpass Liu Ningxian’s.

So, when she provoked him, he agreed to fight her almost without hesitation.

Liu Ningxian had thought the same.

She assumed that as a Supreme Venerable Realm expert, overpowering Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning, who was only at the Quasi-Supreme Venerable Realm, would be no problem at all.

But when they actually fought, they were evenly matched, trading blows with neither gaining a clear advantage.

Although Liu Ningxian possessed many powerful Dao techniques, Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning also had his Myriad Laws Return to Origin and Undying Heavenly Art, coupled with his supreme treasure, the Sky-Overturning Seal. This made it so that Liu Ningxian couldn’t gain the upper hand over him for the time being.

Yet, since neither won, neither was satisfied.

“Absolutely not! I must become Ye Wushuang’s master. A disciple like him deserves the very best treatment!!”

“Impossible! Besides, he has already decided on his own Dao techniques. Each one is incredibly powerful; he doesn’t need your interference!!”

“I don’t believe it! He’s still so young. When he reaches higher realms, he will definitely lack experience, especially when advancing to the Supreme Venerable Realm later. That requires even more experience. Without a Supreme Venerable Realm master, he will inevitably take many detours!!”

Hearing Liu Ningxian’s words, Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning was momentarily at a loss for a rebuttal.

After all, he himself was only at the Quasi-Supreme Venerable Realm and couldn’t be considered a true Supreme Venerable expert.

Although he was confident he could reach the Supreme Venerable Realm, he wasn’t sure if the timing of his breakthrough would align with Ye Wushuang’s rapid progression to higher realms.

Ye Wushuang’s advancement speed was simply too fast, so fast that Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning couldn’t even be sure how many years it would take for Ye Wushuang to reach the Supreme Venerable Realm.

For others, reaching the Supreme Venerable Realm in a few years was naturally impossible; even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of years might not be enough.

But for Ye Wushuang, it might just be a matter of a few years.

So, on this point, Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning wasn’t confident.

However, his expression showed not the slightest intention of relenting, because if he gave an inch, this disciple might very well no longer be his.

Sensing Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning’s stubbornness, Liu Ningxian let out a helpless sigh.

“Fine!! If I can’t be his master, then I’ll settle for being his Martial Aunt!”

“After all, by seniority, I am Ruyan’s aunt!!”

“You can’t possibly object to that, can you??”

Liu Ningxian had already made a concession.

So, when she asked Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning, her eyes were fixed intently on him. If he objected again, she was ready to turn hostile.

Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning naturally understood this.

Still, he maintained his air of pride.

“Such a matter isn’t for you or me to decide alone. We must ask for his opinion!!”

“This… that’s true. However, you must not interfere or obstruct it!!”

“Hmph! I would never stoop to such a thing!!”

Since he agreed, Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning naturally wouldn’t try to sabotage it.

Hearing his words, Liu Ningxian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she started rummaging through her storage ring.

To get Ye Wushuang to call her Martial Aunt, she certainly needed to offer some good treasures.

These treasures included not only Dao techniques but also magical artifacts, resources, and so on.

She needed to carefully select some valuable items to give to Ye Wushuang, to express her sincerity.

However, the moment she opened her storage ring, what she saw the most of were her personal undergarments.

Red, yellow, black… they came in various colors.

Liu Ningxian kept these garments in her storage ring, changing them from time to time.

It wasn’t that they got dirty; as a Supreme Venerable expert, Liu Ningxian could easily keep herself completely spotless and dust-free.

She carried these clothes purely out of personal preference.

Changing into a different set of undergarments was like changing her mood, giving her a fresh feeling.

Of course, this was Liu Ningxian’s private hobby, unknown to anyone else.

After searching for a long while, Liu Ningxian finally pulled out a few items she deemed satisfactory.

The most valuable among them was undoubtedly a treasure sword suitable for a Supreme Venerable expert.

She had inquired about Ye Wushuang’s situation and knew that he, like the Divine Dragon Empress, could use the Myriad Swords Return to Origin technique.

Therefore, Liu Ningxian believed Ye Wushuang would particularly cherish this treasure sword.

As long as Ye Wushuang was pleased, getting him to acknowledge her as his Martial Aunt would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, Liu Ningxian couldn’t help but smile.

However, Ye Wushuang was currently in secluded cultivation with no immediate intention of coming out. She felt it would be inappropriate to interrupt his session, so she could only wait.

Fortunately, she wasn’t the only one waiting; Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning was there too, which made her feel less impatient.

While they waited for Ye Wushuang to emerge, others were already plotting against his life.

“Are you certain? Is it confirmed to be a new manifestation of Rule Power??”

“It’s confirmed. It’s definitely a new Rule Power. He used it to directly immobilize the lightning creature and then killed it. Thousands upon thousands of people witnessed it!!”

“It seems the Divine Dragon Empire is truly extraordinary. First, the Divine Dragon Empress was suspected of mastering Rule Power, allowing her to kill across realms. Who would have thought now there’s a Ye Wushuang! This Divine Dragon Empire will become a powerful enemy for our Yamaloka Universe!!”

As they spoke these words, the people from the Yamaloka Universe wore grave expressions.

The so-called Yamaloka Universe was actually a universe opposed to the Heavenly Origin Universe.

The two universes frequently experienced friction and intersection.

During these periods of friction, a situation of one waxing while the other waned would occur.

When the Yamaloka Universe grew strong enough, it could gradually encroach upon and erode the Heavenly Origin Universe, step by step, eventually converting all of the Heavenly Origin Universe into part of the Yamaloka Universe and completely occupying it.

Therefore, the powerful experts of the Heavenly Origin Universe and the Yamaloka Universe were mortal enemies. The border areas where the two universes met were battlefields for countless experts.

There, innumerable powerful beings had fallen and been buried.

That place was also the final destination for true experts.

However, the war wasn’t only fought on the front lines; it also occurred within the universes themselves.

Although the fundamental rules of the Yamaloka Universe and the Heavenly Origin Universe differed, many powerful experts from the Yamaloka Universe had still infiltrated the Heavenly Origin Universe.

Their infiltration served three main purposes: first, to gather intelligence; second, to incite conflict and war; and third, to assassinate the top-tier geniuses of the Heavenly Origin Universe.

Now, Ye Wushuang’s existence had entered their field of vision.
