In his heart thought, Zheng Changnian began to shout loudly, feeling something was very wrong.
His consciousness existed, but he had completely lost control over his body.
At this moment, Zheng Changnian felt like he was awake, but his body was still asleep.
He tried to regain control of his body, but it was as if the connection was severed; no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to control.
"Elder Jin, Elder Jin..."
Realizing it was hard to regain control of his body, Zheng Changnian began to verbally call for Nangong Jin.
Zheng Changnian had already guessed something.
But he was still somewhat clever, knowing that at this moment, he was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Saying some soft words might offer a glimmer of hope.
Without control over his body, Zheng Changnian didnât even have a chance to fight for his life.
"Elder Jin, Elder Jin..."
Zheng Changnian kept calling out, the more he called, the more anxious he felt in his heart thought.
After some time, he finally received a response.
"Friend Changnian, howâs it feeling now?"
At this moment, within Zheng Changnianâs consciousness, there was only endless darkness.
Hearing Nangong Jinâs voice, he was filled with a sense of excitement.
"Elder Jin... how much longer until this power transfer ends?"
Zheng Changnian already sensed something was wrong, but in his words, he pretended to know nothing.
He just inquired about the power transfer.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jinâs kind laughter came again.
"Friend Changnian, donât be anxious. How can a power transfer end in just a day or two?
At least, it would take a hundred or two hundred years~"
Nangong Jinâs tone remained kind, but the implication in his words left Zheng Changnian somewhat in despair.
Power transfer for a hundred or two hundred years...
This clearly meant to occupy his body.
"Elder Jin... youâre joking, right..."
"Friend Changnian, you donât need to pretend with this old man any longer.
This old man knows youâve surely figured out the problem, youâre not that foolish."
Nangong Jinâs words always carried a hint of laughter, as if celebrating his own rebirth.
"Elder Jin, Changnian doesnât understand what youâre saying..."
"Suit yourself, no matter what you say, this old man cannot let you out.
Your heart thought will be imprisoned here for hundreds of years, until it gives up.
And your young body will belong entirely to this old man.
The feeling of being reborn, itâs truly wonderful."
As he spoke, Nangong Jin took a deep breath.
It seemed that breathing through this body felt much fresher.
"Elder Jin, Changnianâs body actually has many hidden ailments..."
"No need for this, this old man can judge for himself.
This old man has searched for decades, you are the most compatible with my cultivation technique in the Outer Domain.
There is no body in the Outer Domain more suitable than yours~
Thanks to this competition, if you hadnât lost, witnessing my power.
Thinking about it, you might still be cautious of me.
Your defeat made you eager for success, wanting to advance rapidly, letting down your guard.
You probably didnât expect this old man had planned for so long on you, did you?"
Hearing this, Zheng Changnian felt a vague sense of collapse.
"Elder Jin... you must be lying to me, right...
You said you valued me the most, and if it werenât for my sect, you would have taken me as your disciple...
You even said none among the Inner Domain disciples could compare to me.
Let me go, and I will surely cultivate well and honor you all my life."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jin laughed a few times.
"Hahaha, did you really think you were better than the Inner Domain disciples?
Youâre thinking too much.
With your level, the genius disciples of the Inner Domain can easily deal with you.
Itâs just that the old monsters of the Inner Domain sects are quite shrewd, hard for this old man to approach those genius disciples.
It just so happens that you, child, are more compatible with this old manâs cultivation technique, thus choosing you was something this old man could accept."
Nangong Jin spoke while laughing.
Hearing this, Zheng Changnian finally understood.
He once truly believed he was the chosen one.
It turned out to be all a conspiracy.
He was simply being manipulated...
To end up like this is no different from death.
It might even be more despairing, plunged into this dark world, unable to even take his own life.
Just accompanying the darkness.
However, Zheng Changnian was better than others, even in such a desperate situation, he didnât begin to curse.
He knew very well that no matter how much he cursed Nangong Jin, it wouldnât change his fate of being permanently imprisoned here.
All he could do was ask Nangong Jin to help fulfill some of his wishes.
"Elder Jin, may I ask you for some help again?
For ending up like this, I donât blame you, nor do I have any excessive requests.
I just hope you can destroy that Shen Han for me.
Make him a cripple for life, with his entire cultivation ruined.
At that time, I just hope youâll let me know, so I can rest in peace..."
Zheng Changnian seemed to blame his current plight on Shen Han.
Of course, he knew Nangong Jin was the true culprit for this situation, but he had no means to deal with Nangong Jin.
He could only beg him to at least ruin Shen Han.
But upon hearing this, Nangong Jin immediately refused.
"I have no conflict of interest with that Shen Han, why should I deal with him for you?
I have no such idle interest.
Moreover, heâs now a disciple of that Star Tower, and has quite a bit of contact with the Sect Leader of Celestial Sword Sect.
After going through so much to obtain a body, Iâm not interested in seeking revenge for you~
As for whether you can rest in peace, I donât care.
You just stay here with the darkness, maybe once you forget about time, youâll get used to it!~"
After speaking, Nangong Jinâs voice completely disappeared.
The whole world was pitch black, no matter how Zheng Changnian shouted, it was to no avail.
There wasnât even an echo.
This top disciple of Cangxuan Valley met his end.
Eternal silence.
Meanwhile, Nangong Jin had already taken over Zheng Changnianâs body.
This young body was full of the air of hope.
Though it was currently just at the early Loose Immortal Realm.
But for Nangong Jin, these were not problems.
He remembered his path of cultivation, and Zheng Changnianâs body was extremely fitting for him.
Repeat the path of cultivation, Nangong Jin could avoid any detours, equivalent to experiencing rebirth.
Since it was a rebirth, he naturally wanted to make up for the regrets he hadnât achieved before.
Itâs not about fulfilling Zheng Changnianâs wishes.
To take action against Shen Han, such an unprofitable task, he was too lazy to do it.
As Nangong said, after taking over Zheng Changnianâs body, he began to retrace his cultivation path.
As for Shen Han, he didnât even consider dealing with him.
To be honest, Shen Han hadnât even spoken a word to Nangong Jin.
Nor was there a real conflict of interest.
In fact, he was able to easily get Zheng Changnianâs body due in part to Shen Hanâs help.
