Borrowing a sword

Chapter 308 The Possession Situation: Is It Already a Dead End?

Inside the Imperial Pool, Chu Huaixu was unable to move.

He was unable to break the stalemate for the time being.

This was the most desperate situation he had ever faced since he traveled through time!
To be precise, if the great formation beneath the blood pool hadn't been designed to seize his body but to kill him, he would surely be doomed to eternal damnation, his body and soul extinguished!

How could a supreme expert who had once reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm have such a long-term plan that it was not so easy to break?
The woman hiding behind the misty fog gave him an immense sense of insecurity.

"what should I do?"

Chu Huaixu began to make continuous attempts.

A golden mark began to appear between his eyebrows, and he entered the state of sacred body.

Judging from his overall strength, he could now easily defeat an ordinary fourth-realm cultivator with a single punch.

But in the face of this formation, his strength, which allowed him to roam freely among his peers, seemed so insignificant.

"Damn it! Why is there an emperor possessing a body in the Imperial Pool?!"

"Isn't the method of possession a technique from the Kunlun Grotto Heaven?"

"Could it be that the current Emperor Yue is related to Kunlun?"

"Damn it, that old bastard who's been dead for hundreds of years still wants to use my body to come back to life!"

How could he not be angry in such a situation?
More importantly, Chu Huaixu realized that his understanding of "Borrowing the Sword" was still too superficial.

In his mind, the so-called divine sense of the emperor was actually the cheat code of Qin Xuanxiao, the protagonist of this world.

His path to extraordinary success involved gathering the divine thoughts of the Emperor along the way.

However, considering the current situation, this does not seem to be the case.

Furthermore, Xiao Xu's golden finger bronze sword is actually an evil sword. According to the original plot of "Borrowing a Sword", every time it is used, a great price must be paid.

This made Chu Huaixu understand completely.

"This is both an opportunity and a calamity for the world's protagonists!"

At this moment, the power of the Heart Sword and the Dao Seal firmly suppressed the Emperor's divine sense.

It was purely Chu Huaixu's own cultivation level that was seriously holding him back.

He couldn't understand it either: "Your original plan should have been to possess Qin Xuanxiao's body."

“They are your descendants, and the blood of your Qin family flows in their veins.”

"How did this calamity of possession happen to me out of nowhere?"

Oh, you've taken all the benefits of cheating in the early stages, and you've shown off to the fullest. Now your ancestors have changed their minds and want to take over my body?
Your Qin family is truly despicable!

However, as the saying goes: compare goods and you'll be throwing them away; compare people and you'll die.

Compared to me, Qin Xuanxiao is indeed just average!
From this perspective, Chu Huaixu even felt that this ancestral emperor of the Yue Kingdom had great foresight.
Influenced by the fearless sword intent, this guy, who knew nothing of fear, was neither afraid nor flustered at this moment.

He knew that this stalemate would continue for a while, and he still had time to think of a solution.

Moreover, the mysterious woman hiding behind the misty fog has not yet made a move, which has relieved him.

However, Chu Huai's preface is somewhat perplexing.

"Shouldn't the body being possessed be at least a high-grade spiritual embryo?"

"Otherwise, even if the possession is successful, the physical body will weaken rapidly, and the person will not live long at all."

"Since he already knows I'm just a mid-grade spiritual embryo, why does he still insist on this?"

"What's that old man after?!"

At this moment, he even started to think about a question.

Don't forget, Chu Huaixu's character panel also shows that he has three [Resurrection Coins]!
He began to feel confused.

"If today truly is a situation where certain death is inevitable..."

"So, is it possible for me to be resurrected, just like when I was a player?"

Time passes and the sun sets.

Qin Xuanxiao called Lin Zixuan to his side.

"Zixuan, there is something I need to instruct you to do." He looked at his future crown princess and said in a rather gentle tone.

"Brother Prince, please speak," said the petite girl.

"The preliminary rounds of the East-West Continent Competition will officially begin tomorrow morning."

"Before that, the old Grand Preceptor will preside over the overall situation and, as the representative of the royal family and the monastery, will say a few words at the Grand Ceremony."

"After he finishes speaking, I will do something before the competition."

"At that time, I will ask you to use [Spiritual Vision] and [Spiritual Hearing] so that Chu Huaixu can see the whole thing happening."

Lin Zixuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

This is tantamount to borrowing her shared perspective assistance ability.

She used this ability to help Qin Xuanxiao during the initial competition for the top spot.

"But Prince, isn't Chu Huaixu still in the Imperial Pool?"

"Given the distance, my cultivation level, and the restrictions within the Emperor Pool, I cannot share everything I see with him."

"Moreover, the spiritual seed he planted in my body has already been removed by my master."

"If the spirit seed were still intact, this method could be used."

“I went to see him a few days ago, begging him to implant the spiritual seed in my body again, but he refused,” Lin Zixuan said.

Qin Xuanxiao: "."

Ask him to plant the spiritual seed again?
Even the Crown Prince's lips twitched slightly.

He raised his hand at that moment and said, "Your master is also aware of this matter. He will help you use [Spiritual Vision] and [Spiritual Hearing] at that time."

Lin Zixuan then nodded in approval of the feasibility of this measure.

But the petite girl with a full, rounded chest couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and tentatively say, "But, Your Highness, Chu Huaixu is still in the Imperial Pool. If I force him to share with me, won't it distract him and risk him going into a qi deviation?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuanxiao frowned, displeased.

"Are you thinking of him?" he asked.

The girl looked up, slightly surprised, and asked, "Brother Prince, didn't you say we were friends with them?"

Her tone carried a hint of self-righteousness.

Qin Xuanxiao snorted coldly and said, "This is not something I'm discussing with you!"

After saying that, his tone softened a bit, and he continued, "Zixuan, you should listen to what your master and I say, right?"

Lin Zixuan hesitated for a moment, but since this was Qin Xuanxiao and Ming Xuanji's idea, she could only weakly say, "Alright then."

Qin Xuanxiao nodded slightly, and the voice of the Ancestral Emperor echoed in his mind.

"well-done."

This Crown Prince actually didn't know why the Emperor had arranged for him to do these things tomorrow.

However, he was not opposed to the idea.

His gaze drifted to the bright moon high in the sky, and he thought to himself softly:
"Mu Bingjiu, it's time for you to show your loyalty."

The monastery, located in an elegant little courtyard.

As honored guests, the Taoist sect members were provided with top-class accommodations.

Niu Yuanshan and Mo Qingmei, as stewards of the Taoist sect, lived in the same courtyard to facilitate communication.

For the past few days, the two have practically lived, ate, and traveled together.
It did feel a bit like living together.

At this moment, Old Niu was not in the room, but sitting in the courtyard, looking at the moon in the sky.

He held a spirit orange grown on the Taoist Medicine Mountain in his hand and slowly peeled the orange.

As you peel the orange, you can already faintly smell its fresh fragrance.

Perhaps because he hadn't been back to his hometown for too long, or perhaps for other reasons, Niu Yuanshan felt somewhat out of place after arriving in the capital.

I'm not used to the environment here, the atmosphere of the capital, or even the climate.

It's much colder here than in the Taoist temple.

Taoist monks might not see snow even once a year.

But in the Moon Kingdom, it's different; snowfall is a common occurrence.

Niu Yuanshan remembered that he was picked up by people from the "organization" in a snowstorm that was freezing cold.

"It looks like...it's going to snow?" he murmured, gazing at the night sky.

Snowflakes began to fall.

Niu Yuanshan stood up, intending to knock on Mo Qingmei's door.

In his memory, Mo Shimei was always especially happy whenever it snowed at the Daoist sect.

She loves snow.

But when he got outside, he raised his hand to knock on the door, but then stopped himself.

Reason kept telling him that perhaps it would be better for the two of them to stay apart.

It's best for someone like him to avoid provoking Junior Sister Mo.

They are not the people I can spend the rest of my life with.

Because of his affection, he felt that Mo Shimei's remaining life was heavy, something he couldn't bear to take up or put down.

But just then, the door opened by itself.

Since that day when the two drank together, their relationship has become increasingly distant.

Mo Qingmei frowned, looked at him coldly, and asked, "Steward Niu, what is it?"

Old Niu casually made up an excuse and discussed the upcoming competition with her for a few minutes.

After they finished talking, it was Mo Qingmei who looked past him, glanced at the snow falling from the sky behind him, and said:

"It did snow."

Niu Yuanshan then said, "Yes, it's snowing."

Only then did Steward Mo emerge from the house and stand under the eaves, watching the snowflakes falling in the courtyard.

The woman, who was already middle-aged, raised her right hand and caught a snowflake.

It was a cool sensation that could be felt directly, slowly melting in her palm.

“Steward Niu, you seem somewhat distracted during this trip to the Moon Kingdom.” She didn’t look at Old Niu, but stared straight ahead.

Niu Yuanshan didn't want to lie to her, so he chose to remain silent.

Fortunately, Mo Qingmei didn't seem inclined to press the matter.

These days, she always has a stern face in front of Lao Niu.

But perhaps because he really loves snow, a smile finally appeared on his face tonight.

For Mu Bingjiu, who grew up in the Moon Kingdom, what was so special about snow?

Therefore, he did not look at the snow, but simply stood to the side and watched her.

In a daze, Niu Yuanshan would also think how wonderful it would be if he and his junior sister Mo were just ordinary people without so many complicated relationships.

We can live together in such a courtyard, and even enjoy the snow together when it snows.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Niu Yuanshan put his left hand behind his back and clenched his fist so hard that his nails almost dug into his palm, causing a slight pain, in order to clear his mind.

—Mu Bingjiu, what are you thinking?!?
You actually think you can have a home like this?

Admittedly, the courtyard is large enough that it would feel spacious enough for two people. But if it were to house these two types of people for their entire lives, it would feel cramped and suffocating.
