He turned his hand into a palm and chopped at me. I tried to leap back, but tripped on the tree trunk.
With a "pa" sound, his hand pressed down onto an unknown place. The ground was unexpectedly soft and ice-cold, as if it had sunk into mud!
At the back of my head, Wu Xie's palm winds came forth. I was shocked, and my arm tried even harder to raise my body, but my whole arm sank deeper into the ground, deeper and deeper, unable to break free!
"What's going on? This place is a little strange! " I let out a startled cry and stopped the attack just in time, and he looked in surprise at the support of my arm.
"Formation Aperture, you touched the core of the formation, quickly release it!" He let out a scream and immediately retreated.
I don't understand. The core of the Formation Aperture? Could it be that when the green plume had disappeared, the formation core had not been completely destroyed?
Wu Xie shouted at me from the side, "Seems like this formation is more complicated than I imagined. What I just destroyed was only the surface of the formation core. Get out of there, or you'll be sucked into the center of the formation! "
As he spoke, he retreated, and in the blink of an eye, he was already floating in the air above the valley. When he was certain that he was safe at the top, he shouted at me to break free of the circle.
I was half sunk into the ground now, and I was still sinking. My hands and feet were sinking into the mud, and it felt cold to the touch, as if there were some watery monster underground that was using brute force to pull me underground.
What's waiting for me underground shouldn't be something pleasant, right? I was extremely frightened in my heart. However, at this moment, I could only shout at the well-dressed Demon Lord in the sky, "Wu Xie, save me! Come and pull me …"
Wu Xie was stunned in the air, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, then I shouted again, "If you don't save me, you won't be able to find Qing Qiu …"
Hearing the name of the one whom I love, the Demon Lord furiously cursed in the air and then charged at me!
Wow, he really came to save me!
I was very surprised, and then a little hope rose in me, but unfortunately, the moment Wuxie rushed over and pulled me, I felt the earth under my feet suddenly sink! Then, without any reaction, I was completely dragged into the darkness of the surface...
When I woke up again, everything in front of me had changed, but it was as if nothing had changed.
Because I found that I was standing on top of the mountain again! Furthermore, it was the mountain peak that Wu Xie had come to for the first time!
In front of me was a vast rolling mountain range, and beneath my feet was a prosperous and peaceful world, with green mountains and beautiful water. I could see hunters with bows and arrows on the roads of the Yangzi Mountains, and beyond that, even more densely populated towns. A gust of mountain wind blew past me, and I thought I smelled the roasted chicken in Drunken Immortal Tavern.
Everything was warm and familiar to me, and the place where I was was exactly the same as the first time that Wu Xie came here! It was as if we had just passed through the narrow mountain cave in the White Realm Palace and saw the mysterious world in front of us!
However, this time, what appeared before me was no longer a desolate world, but a world brimming with vitality. It was as if the dream that Qing Ling had been praying for had come true. Finally, Nanshan regained its thriving life force!
What was going on? Was it an illusion?
I thought back to what Wuxie had said before, he said. Qiannan Mountain is a huge array, everything in front of us is just an illusion.
Thinking of this, I rubbed my eyes vigorously. However, everything before me is still real. I can even remember the mountain path beneath our feet. Back then, Wuxie and I first came to Mount South. We followed this path down the mountain and met Miss Xiao, who was crying halfway up the mountain!
To confirm my suspicions, I walked down the mountain road a few steps, and then I discovered that it was indeed the path I had walked with Wuxie months ago. However, everything in front of my eyes is so unbelievable. One second, I was still in the ruins of the house by the cliff, but the next, I've already returned to the top of the mountain that's very far away from the cliff! Moreover, everything in front of his eyes had undergone a great change. It was as if a divine god had used a divine brush to gently draw on the dark canvas. As a result, there was life in the mountain forest, life in the human race, and everything had been restored to spiritual energy!
All of this happened in an instant. I sat on the rock, thinking, and finally came to a conclusion. Either I was dreaming now, or I was dreaming before!
The thriving world in front of him, compared to the lifeless world from before, one of them had to be fake.
However, if I could choose, I would rather choose that the one before me is fake.
Because, I don't want to be in a relationship with Qing Ling, it's just a beautiful dream for me.
"You really are selfish. You actually would rather return to that dead world before South Sky Mountain." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounds in my ear, pulling me out of my confusion for the moment.
"Wuxie!" I cried out, jumping up reflexively and looking around.
From the start, I had been alone. Wuxie didn't know where I was, but Qing Ling was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, I suddenly heard Wuxie's voice by my ear. God knows how excited I am!
"Wu Xie, come out quickly. Stop hiding!" I cupped my hands into the shape of a trumpet and shouted around.
However, the only responses were the rustling of the wind and the chirping of birds.
"You don't need to look for me. I'm in your body now." Innocent's voice came again, this time very close to me, as if it were speaking into my ear.
"You're in my body?" Startled, I quickly pulled up my skirt and rummaged through it. "Where are you?" "Where is it?"
"Idiot, I'm in your spiritual consciousness!" Wuxie cursed.
"In my spiritual sense?" I instantly felt my head hurt. "Why did you run into my spiritual consciousness? Was it because you pulled me from the cliff just now? "
Wu Xie's voice sounded somewhat depressed: "Wasn't it because I wanted to save you previously, but I was unlucky enough to get dragged into this damned array! Somehow, when I woke up, I found that my body had disappeared. It was pitch black around me, and all I could feel was your aura. I guess I live in your body as a wandering soul right now. "
"Soulcast?" I was also amazed.
The soul-sending technique is a complicated technique. In the Heaven Realm, my Master told me about it before. First, the host will use their will to separate their soul from the body, and then, place the separated soul into the host's body. After a period of time, if the soul of the host and the host's compatibility is very high, then they can coexist for a period of time.
The operation of this kind of magic was very complicated. Moreover, there was a very important prerequisite; since the host's soul had to live in someone else's body, it had to obtain the host's approval in advance. That is, the host and the host had to agree on a contract beforehand, and both of them had to approve this matter before the host's soul can begin to take over.
