Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies

“Your Majesty, which Dao technique would you like to begin learning?”

Upon hearing this question, the Divine Dragon Empress’s heart stirred. If she were to truly learn a Dao technique, she naturally wanted to learn the Secret of All. That was the supreme technique capable of increasing combat power tenfold.

If she could master such a technique, she might not claim invincibility, but at the very least, few would be her match.

She could even emulate Ye Wushuang’s previous feat of facing twenty Supreme Realm experts alone.

However, the Divine Dragon Empress had already attempted to learn the Secret of All herself. Despite studying it for a long time, she hadn’t even managed to grasp the basics.

Thus, she understood that while this technique was incredibly powerful, it was also exceedingly difficult to learn.

If she started with this technique, who knew how many years it would take to master it?

What if, during the learning process, Ye Wushuang came to think she was too slow? That would be utterly humiliating.

With this thought, the Empress forcefully suppressed her intense longing.

In the end, she chose the technique she was most familiar with.

“I’ll learn Myriad Swords Return to Origin. I’m more familiar with this technique, and I’ve already accumulated enough foundation. Learning it should be faster.”

To master Myriad Swords Return to Origin, one must first comprehend ten thousand different sword intents.

For an ordinary person, this was far too difficult. Some might never reach that level in their entire lifetime.

But for the Divine Dragon Empress, it was different. Through diligent study, she had already mastered ten thousand sword intents.

However, although she had mastered them, she didn’t know how to fuse these ten thousand intents together.

Therefore, she remained one step away from achieving Myriad Swords Return to Origin.

Ye Wushuang was unaware of this.

Nevertheless, he asked the Empress to demonstrate the sword techniques she had mastered.

“Your Majesty, please demonstrate your sword techniques first. Let me see exactly which ones you have mastered.”

“Then, we can start from those techniques and gradually work towards mastering Myriad Swords Return to Origin.”

The Divine Dragon Empress knew of Ye Wushuang’s peerless talent; he could often learn profound Dao techniques and sword arts just by watching them once. So, she found nothing unusual about his suggestion.

After Ye Wushuang spoke, she immediately began demonstrating her sword techniques without hesitation.

She didn’t speak or explain, focusing solely on the sword dance.

Watching from the side, Ye Wushuang felt as if he were witnessing a celestial fairy performing a sword dance just for him.

The scene was so breathtakingly beautiful that Ye Wushuang found himself captivated.

Towards Yu Meiren, Ye Wushuang had strong resistance, as he wasn’t familiar with her.

But towards the Divine Dragon Empress, he had virtually no defenses.

Especially since he and the Empress had swapped bodies; he was intimately familiar with everything about her, making the situation entirely different.

Watching the Empress wield her sword, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but lose himself in the moment.

This immersion lasted half a day.

For half a day, the Empress danced with her sword, and Ye Wushuang watched. No one disturbed them, and the two coexisted in remarkable harmony.

There was an indescribable harmony between them.

It seemed that when they were together, both felt incredibly relaxed and at ease.

This harmony continued until the Empress finished her sword dance and came to a stop.

“How was it? My sword dance… my sword techniques, how were they?”

“Huh? Ah! Excellent, the techniques… truly excellent!”

The Empress’s sword dance was exceedingly beautiful, so beautiful that Ye Wushuang had been utterly captivated.

It wasn’t until the Empress spoke again that Ye Wushuang snapped back to reality.

Recovering, he responded to her question while swiftly recalling the forms and moves of her sword techniques in his mind.

Only now did his attention shift to the actual sword techniques.

Before, he had been entirely focused on admiring the Empress’s graceful demeanor.

Fortunately, his talent was extraordinary; he could grasp things after just a glance.

Thus, even recalling them now, he instantly reconstructed the Empress’s entire sword repertoire in his mind.

Then, Ye Wushuang spoke again.

“Your Majesty’s sword techniques are indeed exceptionally powerful. You already possess the prerequisites for cultivating Myriad Swords Return to Origin. I believe you will master it very soon.”

“Now, let me instruct you on how exactly to fuse your sword techniques to achieve Myriad Swords Return to Origin.”

After saying this, Ye Wushuang began explaining in detail the secrets of fusing the Empress’s sword techniques.

Not only that, he even took up a sword himself to demonstrate for her.

He frequently asked if there was anything she didn’t understand.

If there was, Ye Wushuang would patiently teach her again in even greater detail.

This level of attentiveness was incomparable to how he treated Yu Meiren.

The Empress didn’t perceive the difference; she only felt that Ye Wushuang’s explanations were exceptionally clear.

With just a simple explanation, she understood.

Even if she didn’t grasp something initially, she could ask Ye Wushuang for a more detailed breakdown.

Such a tutor was practically chewing the food and feeding it into her mouth.

This feeling was truly unique.

So much so that the Empress remained immersed in Ye Wushuang’s instruction for a full three days.

After three days, all the techniques for fusing her sword arts had been taught.

The Empress, as the student, felt she had completely understood everything.

“Your Majesty, have you got it?”

“Yes, yes, I’ve got it completely. I understood everything you said!”

“Then, Your Majesty, please demonstrate Myriad Swords Return to Origin for me.”

“Alright!”

The Empress was full of confidence regarding Ye Wushuang’s request for a demonstration.

However, when she actually picked up her sword, she froze.

She discovered that although she understood everything intellectually, her sword, her body—she couldn’t initiate Myriad Swords Return to Origin.

Her brain knew what she should do next and what effect it should achieve.

But in reality, she just stood there holding her sword, dumbfounded.

It was as if her brain was saying: I’ve got it.

While her hands were saying: Whimper, I still don’t know how.

At this moment, the Empress stood there awkwardly.

“Your Majesty?”

Seeing the Empress hesitate to make a move, Ye Wushuang thought something might be wrong.

So, he tentatively spoke up, intending to remind her that she should begin.

Hearing his voice, the Empress instantly snapped back to reality. Then, with a somewhat dejected expression, she said:

“I… I seem to not have learned it yet. I can’t execute Myriad Swords Return to Origin.”

“Uh… Your Majesty, haven’t you already mastered ten thousand sword intents and the techniques for fusing them? You just need to execute them all together.”

“I… I understand that. But, I just can’t do it!”
