When she opened the book, the contents were bizarre and fantastical, filled with all sorts of evil and unorthodox spells, including this chilling soul-swapping technique.

The words seemed to come alive, dancing before her eyes, describing how to cruelly break the boundary between life and death, forcibly injecting the soul of the deceased into the body of the living.

I still remember the day her master discovered her reading that evil book.

His previously kind face instantly turned extremely serious, his eyes filled with worry and warning, as if he had foreseen an impending disaster.

Her master earnestly warned her that the spells recorded in the book were all evil spells that went against the will of Heaven and violated the principles of morality and ethics, and were a great taboo for those who cultivated the Tao.

It is like a bottomless abyss; once you step into it, you will surely perish.

It is absolutely forbidden to learn from it, much less to try it, otherwise you will not only lose yourself and fall into endless darkness, but also bring disasters and suffering to the world like floods and ferocious beasts.

Orthodox Taoist practice has always pursued harmonious coexistence with nature, taking the way of heaven and earth as its foundation, upholding the righteous path, and taking helping others and saving the world as its noble purpose.

Taoist disciples should be compassionate and use their knowledge to benefit all living beings. They have always deeply abhorred and scorned such heretical and evil practices.

Those who attempt to study evil arts not only deviate from the teachings of Taoism, but also openly blaspheme and betray the righteous path of cultivation, and will surely be punished by Heaven.

However, at this moment, Su Jinyun's story was like a heavy hammer, striking her understanding hard and shaking the beliefs she had held for many years.

Someone actually told her definitively that this kind of evil magic, which only existed in legends and taboos, had actually happened in reality, and it happened to Ning Chenxing.

This stirred up an uncontrollable anger in Yu Ji's heart, like a raging fire burning fiercely in her chest, almost threatening to devour her reason.

In her view, such harmful, selfish, cruel, and evil magic is actually being studied and practiced by Taoist priests who disregard the rules and moral principles of Taoism and ignore morality.

This is a serious insult to the reputation of Taoism, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and a blatant trampling on the true path of cultivation.

The dignity and honor of Taoism seemed to be mercilessly torn apart in the face of these heretical practices.

Moreover, if this hadn't come from Su Jinyun, someone she had always respected and trusted, she would never have believed it.

Those evil arts that only existed in legends were actually put into practice, causing such terrible consequences in the real world and turning the originally peaceful world upside down.

After Su Jinyun finished speaking, Yu Ji fell into a long silence.

She closed her eyes tightly, her brows furrowed as if trying to concentrate all her shock, anger, and worry into those furrowed brows.

Her mind was in complete turmoil as she struggled to process this astonishing information.

Although she was filled with indignation, she was even more worried and uneasy, like the gloom before a storm, weighing heavily on her heart and making it hard for her to breathe.

She wasn't very confident that she could deal with the person who used such evil magic.

After all, a heretical sect that can skillfully use such an evil and profound spell as the Soul-Swapping Technique must have extremely powerful magic and its methods must be insidious and cunning.

She knew she was facing an unprecedented challenge, like facing a ferocious beast alone in the dark, with no certainty about what lay ahead.

She was truly unsure whether, with the abilities she had accumulated over many years of cultivation, she could contend with them and successfully resolve this crisis that was capable of overturning everything.

After hearing Su Jinyun recount the matter in detail, Yu Ji felt as if her heart was being swept away by an unprecedented storm.

A complex mix of emotions surged and churned like a raging tide, lingering for a long time.

She knew perfectly well that the seriousness of the matter far exceeded her imagination; like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it would inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

The slightest misstep could very well push the entire situation into an abyss of no return.

Therefore, she dared not be negligent or careless in the slightest, and devoted herself to a very careful, thorough and in-depth deliberation.

In the midst of this arduous process of pondering, her mind involuntarily conjured up the image of the ethereal and otherworldly Daoist Master Xuwu.

In the vast world of Taoist cultivation, Master Xuwu's reputation resounded like a great bell, echoing through the heavens, known to all.

Its profound and unfathomable Taoist teachings are like a vast and boundless ocean, unfathomable and making it difficult for people to fathom its mysteries.

His profound and insightful understanding of Taoist principles is like the most dazzling star in the night sky, shining brightly.

It guides countless Taoist disciples on their long and arduous journey of cultivation.

In Yu Ji's heart, Master Xuwu was always the undisputed pinnacle of Taoist cultivation, like a towering mountain that inspired awe.

If we are fortunate enough to obtain Master Xuwu's assistance, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope in this tangled and hopeless predicament.

It's as if we've found a faint but precious glimmer of hope in the pitch-black abyss, giving us endless imagination and anticipation.

However, when she learned that Master Xuwu was actually in Qin Qianluo's space, her slightly relaxed brows instantly twisted together like a pretzel.

It's as if all the worries and helplessness are locked inside.

Her usually calm and composed face involuntarily revealed a deep sense of distress, and a surge of profound sorrow welled up in her heart.
