Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 51

The Celestial Flame World was not far from the territory of the Divine Dragon Empire, yet it did not belong to it.

This world was dominated by fire, home to countless fire-attribute cultivators.

Because of this, the Celestial Flame World harbored numerous mystical immortal flames.

Many had come here and encountered extraordinary opportunities with these flames.

As a result, the Celestial Flame World was bustling with activity.

When Ye Wushuang arrived, he was filled with curiosity about everything around him.

Much of what he saw was entirely new to him.

Wandering aimlessly, he soon found himself in a lively area.

There stood a towering pavilion, where what seemed like a gathering was taking place.

Inside, many young talents were engaged in spirited discussions.

Below the pavilion, a crowd had gathered, their ears perked as if listening intently.

This piqued Ye Wushuang’s interest—what exactly was happening here?

He casually approached someone and asked:

“Brother Daoist, what’s going on here?”

“Is this your first time venturing out, just arriving in our Celestial Flame World? You don’t even know this?”

“Indeed, it’s my first time here. I’d appreciate your guidance!”

“This is the Celestial Flame World’s Young Geniuses’ Dao Discussion Assembly. Any young prodigy under a hundred years of age who has reached the True Immortal Realm can enter the Heavenly Dao Pavilion to discuss the Dao.”

“Of course, it’s not just about discussing the Dao—some secrets about the Celestial Flame World’s hidden realms are also shared here.”

“Moreover, after the discussions, many of these young geniuses exchange their magical treasures.”

“Then, why are all of you gathered here…?”

“Naturally, to listen to the Dao! If we can grasp even a fraction of the insights shared by those young geniuses, it would be immensely beneficial!”

“Of course, not everyone can comprehend them. Many are just here for the spectacle!”

With that, the man proudly lifted his chin.

Though he didn’t say it outright, his meaning was clear—he was among those who could understand.

Thus, he waited expectantly for Ye Wushuang’s praise.

However, Ye Wushuang didn’t react as he had anticipated.

“Thank you, Brother Daoist!”

Ye Wushuang simply expressed his gratitude before turning and heading straight for the entrance of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.

From the looks of it, he intended to ascend the pavilion.

This prompted the cultivator to call out:

“Hey! Don’t go! The Heavenly Dao Pavilion has cultivation restrictions. If your cultivation isn’t sufficient, you won’t be able to enter!”

Ye Wushuang ignored the warning.

After all, his current cultivation was at the Immortal King Realm, and his age was under a hundred. Entering the pavilion posed no issue for him.

However, as he stepped inside, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but glance upward.

His keen senses detected the presence of an Immortal King overseeing the pavilion.

Since this Immortal King wasn’t particularly strong, Ye Wushuang merely glanced before averting his gaze.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he stepped into the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and vanished from sight.

This left many astonished.

“He went in! He actually went in!”

“Good heavens, he really entered! Another young genius!”

“I told you! A man like that isn’t a fool. He wouldn’t approach the Heavenly Dao Pavilion without the strength to back it up. See? He went right in!”

Meanwhile, the man who had answered Ye Wushuang’s questions stood gaping.

“This… this… So he was also a True Immortal expert! Good thing I didn’t say anything offensive earlier, or I might have offended this senior!”

The thought filled him with relief.

Ye Wushuang, of course, was unaware of this.

Upon entering the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, he immediately noticed its uniqueness.

The pavilion was exquisitely decorated, with arrays woven throughout to aid in Dao comprehension.

It had two floors. The first floor was filled with True Immortal cultivators.

Most of these True Immortals couldn’t contribute much to the discussions, so they remained on this level, listening intently. Any insights they gained would be their own fortune.

The second floor, however, was reserved for those above the True Immortal Realm—Heavenly Immortal experts—where the true Dao discussions took place.

After all, in the past tens of thousands of years, the Divine Dragon Empress was the only one to reach the Immortal King Realm before the age of a hundred.

Ye Wushuang didn’t linger on the first floor. Instead, he quietly made his way to the second.

There, over a dozen Heavenly Immortal prodigies were gathered.

His arrival drew some attention.

After all, the second floor had restrictions—only Heavenly Immortal-level geniuses could ascend.

Thus, the attendees were mostly familiar faces, and Ye Wushuang’s presence stood out.

However, since he showed no signs of causing trouble—simply taking a seat as if to observe—most only glanced at him before returning to their discussions.

Ye Wushuang had come to the second floor to listen and perhaps gather information about the Flame Prison.

He had no intention of standing out.

So, he kept his ears open and his mouth shut.

As he listened to the Dao techniques being discussed, he nodded occasionally.

Though these techniques were somewhat basic, they still offered him some insights.

Especially since Ye Wushuang had never participated in such discussions before—his cultivation had always been solitary.

Thus, this method of exchanging ideas felt refreshingly new to him.

Some even shared several secret techniques, which Ye Wushuang comprehended on the spot, confirming their authenticity.

This pleased him—his trip here hadn’t been in vain.

Soon, the group on the second floor began their Heavenly Immortal Dao discussions.

Because advancing to the Immortal King Realm had an implicit time constraint, many Heavenly Immortal prodigies cultivated multiple powerful Dao techniques during this stage to enrich their foundation and combat prowess.

Thus, the Heavenly Immortal Realm was a unique stage.

The weaker ones were merely average Heavenly Immortals, barely surpassing ordinary True Immortals.

But the stronger ones—those with profound foundations—could even challenge low-level Immortal Kings.

Therefore, the exchange of Heavenly Immortal Dao techniques was particularly significant.

Of course, such discussions offered little to Ye Wushuang.

So, he remained silent throughout, simply listening.

This behavior eventually drew attention.

“Brother Daoist, why have you remained silent since your arrival?”

“Surely he’s not here to freeload our Dao techniques!”
