Taoist Lingyun's face was buried in his chest. He Jingjing couldn't see his face clearly. She could only see the black hair on top of his head, which visibly changed from black to gray-black, then to gray, and then to white. Then, Taoist Lingyun's figure began to change, like a punctured balloon, slowly becoming deflated.
Taoist Lingyun was originally about 1.78 meters tall and weighed about 70 kilograms, looking neither fat nor thin and elegant. However, with this transformation, his height had shrunk by more than ten centimeters, and his skin was covered in dense wrinkles, making him look both strange and terrifying.
When Taoist Lingyun raised his wrinkled face and stared angrily at He Jingjing lying on the bed, she fainted from fear. What kind of eyes were those? Their red pupils shone with the hatred of a demon.
By the time He Jingjing regained consciousness, Liu Jingyu had already taken over as the head of the Yushan Sect.
After He Jingjing recovered, she often heard the disciples of Yushan Sect talk about Liu Jingyu proposing to Wu Xiuyun at the ceremony of taking over as the leader, and Wu Xiuyun held a dual cultivation ceremony with Liu Jingyu on the same day.
After Wu Xiuyun became the headmaster's wife, she moved to the headmaster's hall on the top of Xiaoyao Peak. The small courtyard where Wu Xiuyun lived before was left to He Jingjing.
Perhaps because she felt guilty towards He Jingjing, Wu Xiuyun was very indulgent towards her.
As the personal maidservant of the Sect Master's wife, Wu Xiuyun, He Jingjing held the title merely in name only, not necessarily serving Wu Xiuyun. After that heart-wrenching afternoon, He Jingjing broke with her usual behavior and stopped chatting and gossiping with the other disciples. Apart from visiting her "fiancé" Wen Ziqing at Jinping Peak, she spent the rest of her days cultivating in the courtyard.
Although she said she was "cultivating", He Jingjing actually spent most of her time sleeping in the courtyard.
Ever since that day, He Jingjing always felt like she was being "surveilled." Although she didn't discover who was watching her, Wu Xiuyun knew everything she did day and night. Could it be that Liu Jingyu had said he wouldn't kill her and then regretted it?
Thinking of how she had witnessed Liu Jingyu and his wife plotting against Taoist Lingyun, He Jingjing felt as if a sharp knife was hanging over her head, and she didn't know when it would fall.
After a month or two of this, He Jingjing began to feel annoyed. She was just a lowly cultivator at the first level of Qi training. If Liu Jingyu, the head of the Yushan Sect, wanted her life, she couldn't resist. She might as well eat, drink, and have fun. Even if she died, her life would be worthwhile.
After He Jingjing figured it out, she spent her days eating, drinking and having fun. Anyway, her spiritual roots were poor and she would never be able to build a foundation in her lifetime. It didn't seem that there was much difference between practicing for a longer time or a shorter time.
He Jingjing's favorite daily activity was to visit Wen Ziqing at Jinping Peak. To her delight, Wen Ziqing, instead of ignoring her, actually invited her to stay at Jinping Peak for a day or two. This was a pleasant surprise for her. It was a shame that Wen Ziqing was so busy cultivating that he didn't have much time to pay attention to her, but He Jingjing was quite pleased with that.
Among the many monks in the Yushan Sect, Wen Ziqing was the one He Jingjing was most familiar with and the one she trusted the most. He Jingjing knew that whether Wen Ziqing liked her or not, he would never have any bad intentions towards her.
He Jingjing didn't know that the Wen Ziqing who had been so kind to her wasn't the real Wen Ziqing, but the Wen Ziqing who had been possessed by the Taoist Baopu. Fortunately, the Taoist Baopu had no interest in women; otherwise, who knows what he would have done under the name of Wen Ziqing.
The "system" He Jingjing thought had disappeared had transformed into Liu Jingyu, the current leader of the Yushan Sect. More precisely, Ling Xiaotian's spirit, unwilling to follow He Jingjing, a person with five spiritual roots and no future, chose Liu Jingyu's good looks and directly took over Liu Jingyu's body.
Many inheritances in the world of cultivation have been lost. No one in the Yushan Sect knew about the technique of "possessing a body". Otherwise, Taoist Baopu would not have kept it secret and regarded it as a "secret technique".
After all, the art of possessing another's body went against the righteous path, and even in the time and space Ling Xiaotian had lived in, it was rejected by righteous cultivators. But Ling Xiaotian, a Yuanying cultivator in the Heavenly Palace, turned into a ball of souls, and of course he was unwilling to perish like this.
During his years in the secular world, Ling Xiaotian couldn't find a suitable body, and his soul power grew weaker. After arriving in the Langyuan Secret Realm, he stopped giving instructions to He Jingjing and became interested in the male cultivators there. While the cultivation heritage in this time and space wasn't as strong as Ling Xiaotian's original, the cultivators' aptitude was far superior. In Ling Xiaotian's original sect, cultivators with single spiritual roots were the primary focus of their training. In the Yushan Sect, cultivators with single spiritual roots were common.
Ling Xiaotian is a cultivator who knows the current situation. Since following He Jingjing can't get him what he wants, he must make new plans for himself. Coincidentally, Xie Hanmei was forced by Taoist Ling Yun. Ling Xiaotian seized this opportunity and reached an agreement with Xie Hanmei: he would help Xie Hanmei break free from Taoist Ling Yun's control, and Xie Hanmei would help Ling Xiaotian find a suitable and good person.
Because Xie Hanmei is the great-granddaughter of Daoyan Zhenjun, Liu Jingyu wants to climb into the Xie family and keeps chasing Xie Hanmei to express his love. After being threatened by Liu Jingyu, Xie Hanmei simply goes all out and knocks Liu Jingyu unconscious and hands him over to Ling Xiaotian.
Ling Xiaotian devoured Liu Jingyu's soul and obtained all of Liu Jingyu's memories.
On the one hand, Ling Xiaotian walked in the Yushan Sect as Liu Jingyu, and on the other hand, he was waiting for an opportunity to deal with Taoist Ling Yun. When he signed the agreement with Xie Hanmei, he swore an oath to the inner demon. If he didn't deal with Taoist Ling Yun, Ling Xiaotian's oath would backfire on him.
Taoist Lingyun was completely unaware that his second disciple had changed his mind. During that time, Taoist Lingyun was busy "taking down" Wu Xiuyun. With only a few decades left to live, he wanted to absorb Wu Xiuyun's power to reach the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop. Previously, when Taoist Lingyun had made the transition from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, he had done so by draining the life out of one of his own female disciples.
This kind of thing is addictive. After Taoist Lingyun experienced the wonderful effect of a significant increase in power overnight, his female disciples were doomed to a miserable end.
Taoist Ling Yun, who had done too many bad things, fell into a trap. He reached out to Wu Xiuyun, but was ambushed by Ling Xiaotian and Wu Xiuyun.
Ling Xiaotian announced to the public that Taoist Ling Yun had gone astray in his practice and had retreated to Baihua Valley to recuperate. In fact, after Taoist Ling Yun issued the order for Liu Jingyu to take over as the head of the sect, he had already lost his own value.
