Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 505 Fourth-Rank Cultivator
September 7th.

An ordinary day.

"Master."

As usual, Ming Nianwei arrived at the courtyard where Tong Li lived, her eyes lowered, appearing docile.
"How have you been feeling these past few days?"

Even though she was extremely unwilling, she dared not not come, for fear of upsetting the other party.

"Cough cough..."

Tong Li covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

As time went on, his health deteriorated, his face became deeply lined with wrinkles, and his skin became covered with age spots.

"I'm not going to make it."

Taking a deep breath, Tong Li reached out and gently stroked Ming Nianwei, a strange smile forming on his wrinkled face:
"Fortunately, you're here."

"Master."

Ming Nianwei looked up, her eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling as she said:

You'll be alright.

“Girl, Heaven and Earth have ordained that all who are born must die. We cultivators dare not defy fate…” Tong Li sighed softly.
"But how many people can actually do that?"

"Stop pretending."

He smiled faintly:
"I know you've made some preparations, but the day you've been counting on is probably not today."

Ok?
Ming Nianwei's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she suddenly raised her hand, two sharp beams of light shooting out from her palm.

Wind and Fire Thrust!
This is her most skilled and secretive method.

It can be activated at a moment's notice and has astonishing power.

It can pierce through a foot-thick layer of metal and stone; even a sixth-rank martial artist would be severely injured at close range if they are not careful.

"Ding……"

As a ray of light fell, Ming Nianwei's magic, which she relied on, was blasted into specks of spiritual light.

Not only that.

As the rosy light descended, her body immediately became immobile, and even her thoughts became extremely slow.

"it's useless."

Tong Li's voice was weak, yet it carried an air of absolute control as he slowly raised one hand:

"Since I chose you as my disciple, how could I not know your abilities?"

"This Xuanpo Secret Technique and the Xuanwei Dongyuan Record that you cultivate both originate from the same source. They are both inherited from the Golden Palace Jade Book and happen to counter your magic power. Therefore, you have no secrets in front of me."

"Master." Ming Nianwei's smile froze.

"You misunderstood..."

"It doesn't matter." Tong Li gently stroked her cheek, his expression strange, his eyes even more complicated:

"This body may not be the best, but it is the best I could choose. Heaven has not forsaken me!"

"Don't worry, my good disciple."

"Once I seize your physical body and am reborn, I will surely grant your wish and help you cultivate an immortal primordial spirit. In the future, you may well be able to glimpse the ultimate Dao."

“You villain…” Ming Nianwei gritted her teeth:

"You won't succeed."

"Hehe..." Tong Li chuckled lightly.
"Not acting anymore?"

"I feel bad that you've been acting for so long, but thankfully you haven't given up on your training. It's worth my year of waiting."

"let's start!"

With a flick of his long sleeves, a faint mist enveloped the entire room, and then the ground beneath his feet suddenly disappeared.

During this year, Tong Li certainly did not just wait idly.

He hollowed out the soil beneath the courtyard and set up a body-snatching formation in the underground chamber.

They also secretly acquired various magical artifacts and materials, making numerous preparations for what they are doing today.

"call……"

The fire started.

Nine lotus-shaped oil lamps spontaneously combusted without flame, their eerie green flames exuding a chilling aura.

Countless complex patterns connected on the jade-paved ground, forming a mysterious array.

Ming Nianwei's body moved uncontrollably to sit in the center of the great formation, her face filled with terror.

She hadn't expected the other party to make a move today.

In a few days, there will be an excellent time of day, which she believes should be the right time.

now.

Many of the prepared methods were not kept with them.

"Master."

"Master, spare my life!"

Although she couldn't move her body, she could still speak. Seeing Tong Li bustling around the area with his head bowed, she repeatedly begged for mercy:
"If you spare me, I will repay you by serving you like a slave."

"My cultivation is mediocre and my aptitude is average. Even if you possess my body, you will hardly achieve anything."

"Evil thief!"

"You'll die a horrible death!" "..."

She begged for mercy, cursed, cried out, vented her frustrations wildly, and screamed loudly, but Tong Li remained unmoved.

"I have set up an array here. Even a fifth-rank expert will not be able to break in for a short time."

Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you.

Turn around.

Tong Li gave a cold smile:

"Zhu Ju won't work either!"

Ming Nianwei's voice faltered, as if her secret had been exposed, and her face showed a look of horror.

"You don't need to look at me like that," Tong Li said.
“I have lived for so many years, how could I not know what you have done? The only one you can ask is Zhu Ju.”

"but……"

“He may have some skills, but he is ultimately just an eighth-rank martial artist. Even if we wanted to help, it would be too late.”

"All right!"

He clapped his hands lightly, walked slowly to the opposite side of Ming Nianwei, took out a bell from his body and shook it gently.

"Jingle Bell……"

The mysterious sound entered my ears.

Ming Nianwei felt a tremor in her soul, her eyelids slowly closed, and her consciousness uncontrollably sank.

"Three souls are eternal, and there is no loss of soul."

"My mind and spirit, like the elixir of immortality, have enabled me to attain true understanding."

"..."

Strange syllables danced in her ears, gradually blurring her consciousness until she was plunged into darkness.

suddenly.

Ming Nianwei opened her eyes.

She found herself enveloped in a soft halo of light, rising and falling in endless darkness.

here it is……

"Sea of ​​Consciousness!"

As practitioners, how could they not be familiar with the ocean of consciousness?

However, she was only a seventh-rank mage, and could only sense the existence of the sea of ​​consciousness, but could not truly enter it.

just now.

Under the halo of light, one could actually feel one's own sea of ​​consciousness.

"boom!"

Before she could figure out what was happening, she saw countless streams of light crash into her consciousness.

The flowing light intertwined in the sky, forming a grand array.

"It's a possession formation set up by Tong Li!"

"Ha ha……"

Tong Li's laughter followed closely behind, unlike the aged and hoarse sound he had when burdened by his physical body; now it was cheerful and clear.

"Soul Transference, come out here!"

"Om..."

A perfectly round pearl appeared out of thin air, like a stabilizing needle, firmly supporting the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Soul-stabilizing pearl?"

Tong Li snorted coldly:

"It seems you haven't been idle this past year; you've actually secretly crafted such a magical treasure."

Ming Nianwei was immediately invigorated.

That's right.

She had prepared for this day, and immediately spoke loudly:
"Tong Li, this is my sea of ​​consciousness. Outsiders' souls will definitely be restricted when they enter. With the help of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, even if you are a peak sixth-grade cultivator, you will still be able to seize my physical body."

"Yes."

A cloud of black mist gathered in the sky and gradually transformed into a human figure.

"But……"

"I am at the peak of the fourth rank!"

what?
Ming Nianwei's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

The figure that appeared in the center of her consciousness was not Tong Li, but a beautiful woman.

The woman was dressed in a magnificent palace robe, exuding a noble and dignified air, clearly someone who had long held a high position.

"I am Li Chengxia, the third daughter of the former Prince Yong'an. I am a peak fourth-grade cultivator. Due to some calamity, my physical body was destroyed, so I had no choice but to reside in Tong Li's body."

"now."

"You will be reborn in your physical body."
