Xuanhuan: The Empress and I Swapped Bodies - Chapter 93

Finally, Ye Wushuang and the others safely returned to the Divine Dragon Empire with thirty major worlds in tow.

Their return sent the entire empire into a frenzy.

In the Divine Dragon Imperial City, countless citizens rushed to welcome Ye Wushuang and his party.

“We, your subjects, greet the return of Her Divine Majesty in triumph!!”

“We, your subjects, greet the return of Her Divine Majesty in triumph!!”

“We, your subjects, greet the return of Her Divine Majesty in triumph!!”

First, the high-ranking officials of the Divine Dragon Empire bowed in reverence, expressing their utmost respect.

Then, the citizens of the imperial city followed suit.

“We welcome the triumphant return of Her Divine Majesty! May the Divine Dragon Empire endure for all eternity!!”

“We welcome the triumphant return of Her Divine Majesty! May the Divine Dragon Empire endure for all eternity!!”

“We welcome the triumphant return of Her Divine Majesty! May the Divine Dragon Empire endure for all eternity!!”

Ye Wushuang’s acquisition of thirty major worlds would not only benefit the imperial family but also bring boundless advantages to the people of the Divine Dragon Empire.

The influx of resources would naturally strengthen the populace.

Moreover, as the heart of the empire, the Divine Dragon Imperial City would continue to amass greater wealth.

With time, its citizens would enjoy ever-increasing resources, growing ever more powerful.

Furthermore, the addition of thirty major worlds meant more administrative positions—positions that would inevitably be filled by the empire’s strongest cultivators.

And who stood the best chance of securing these roles? The citizens of the imperial city, of course.

Thus, their joy was genuine.

They sincerely wished for the Divine Dragon Empire to stand eternal, for they, too, needed a powerful sanctuary.

Survival in this ruthless world without a formidable backing was nothing but a fool’s dream.

The stronger the empire, the better their lives would be.

Seeing their elation, Ye Wushuang retrieved an enormous immortal stone from his spoils.

Then, he began inscribing it with divine techniques—techniques harvested from the slain Supreme Realm experts.

These were no ordinary methods; every single one was a peerless treasure, the culmination of true mastery over the heavens and earth.

Of course, Ye Wushuang did not inscribe all of them. The most profound techniques, those only usable by Supreme Realm experts, were reserved for the imperial family’s vaults—to attract even more formidable talents.

The rest, suitable for Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, were etched into the stone.

For any citizen of the empire, obtaining even one of these techniques would be an extraordinary fortune.

Naturally, Ye Wushuang also placed powerful restrictions on the stone: each person could only attempt enlightenment three times in their lifetime, acquiring a maximum of three techniques.

What they gained would depend entirely on their luck and destiny.

With a wave of his hand, he cast the stone onto a plaza in the imperial city, then reinforced it with seals to prevent theft.

Throughout this process, he maintained his peak condition using the Divine Dragon Imperial Scripture and the Word of All secret art.

Even a Supreme Realm expert would be unable to break his seals or steal the inscribed techniques.

Once everything was set, Ye Wushuang addressed the masses:

“This immortal stone now contains peerless divine techniques!”

“Every citizen of the Divine Dragon Empire may attempt enlightenment! Each person has three chances in their lifetime to comprehend three techniques!”

“What you gain shall depend on your own fortune and destiny!!”

The crowd was stunned.

They had witnessed Ye Wushuang inscribing the stone, and many had already guessed its purpose when he placed it in the plaza.

Yet when he confirmed it, the revelation still shook them to their core.

In the Tianyuan Universe, divine techniques were priceless treasures, zealously guarded by powerful factions.

For commoners, obtaining a strong technique meant pledging themselves to a sect or noble house, starting as lowly servants, and clawing their way up over decades—if they even survived long enough.

And even then, there was no guarantee they would ever receive a high-tier technique.

This was the harsh reality for ordinary people seeking strength.

But now, Ye Wushuang had granted them unconditional access to peerless techniques—three chances for every citizen.

To them, this was nothing short of opening the gates to heaven.

This immortal stone had become a ladder to ascension.

Thus, the moment Ye Wushuang finished speaking, countless citizens dropped to their knees in gratitude.

“We thank the Divine Majesty for her boundless mercy in granting us this path to enlightenment, allowing us to cultivate peerless techniques!!”

“If we achieve greatness in this life, we shall knot grass and hold rings to repay Your Majesty’s heavenly grace!!”

The cry spread like wildfire.

This was a divine opportunity bestowed by the Empress herself.

Soon, even more citizens prostrated themselves.

“If we achieve greatness in this life, we shall knot grass and hold rings to repay Your Majesty’s heavenly grace!!”

“If we achieve greatness in this life, we shall knot grass and hold rings to repay Your Majesty’s heavenly grace!!”

“If we achieve greatness in this life, we shall knot grass and hold rings to repay Your Majesty’s heavenly grace!!”

The vow of gratitude resounded throughout the imperial city.

Even Imperial Clan Elder Liu Ning couldn’t help but nod in approval, silently praising Ye Wushuang’s masterstroke.

Since these techniques had been obtained through Ye Wushuang’s own conquests, no one could raise objections to his generosity.

Even the empire’s officials and nobles welcomed the move—after all, Immortal Emperor-level techniques were still invaluable to their factions.

If they could acquire some, their own power would grow.

Thus, Ye Wushuang’s decision was a win for all, earning universal admiration.

Elder Liu Ning could already foresee the consequences: a flood of citizens migrating to the imperial city and endless praise for the Empress.

The prestige of the Divine Dragon Empress was destined to soar to new heights.
