Chapter 14
Magical Girl Xia Hua
The moonlight faded.
Golden floral ornaments tied her dark, jade-like ponytail high, adorned with crescent-shaped hair accessories, while the Seed of Hope transformed into a white floral bracelet worn on her right wrist.
She wore a dreamy white dress, with pale gold laurel embroidery extending from the neckline to the hem above her thighs. The neckline subtly revealed her collarbone, making her neck appear slender. Long moon-shaped gauze hung behind her, floating in the air. A thin, feathery sleeve draped over the girl's youthful left hand, which held a mirror. When she raised her hand, it was like a white bird spreading its wings.
She wore thin lace stockings with light gold patterns winding down from the top, making her legs appear even more slender.
Her milky-white ankle boots were adorned with a few delicate floral decorations, and her eyes had a pale purplish-gray hue, like a thin mist veiled by moonlight.
The magical girl named Fuka stood quietly in place.
Even though she wasn't controlling her body at the moment, Li Jiangqun could still vaguely see her beautiful clothes after her transformation.
"This is...me?"
However, her surprise didn't last long; she quickly came to her senses from the dreamlike outfit.
So... I really have transformed into a magical girl!
Although the magical girl at this moment was forcibly transformed by Yuan An after being possessed, he used his disciple's status when he transformed. In other words, if the girl can transform later, her transformed form should be almost the same as it is now.
In other words, this is Li Jiangqun's form after transforming into a magical girl; Yuan An simply transformed her in advance.
Unlike the girl's complicated thoughts, Yuan An was currently immersed in the powerful magical girl's energy.
"It is indeed the power of Yin; I never expected it to possess such supernatural power..."
Li Jiangqun muttered to herself. She knew that the purple magical girl before, after transforming, was at most a Foundation Establishment or Profound Realm cultivator in her estimation. But now, after she transformed, she sensed that the vast magical power was almost on par with the Purple Mansion Divine Power!
But then, Yuan An suddenly realized.
"It's because my rank is too high. Even if I'm just borrowing the fate of the skirt to transform, my rank won't change. That's why I can borrow so much magic power from the Taiyin position..."
This unexpected event once again refreshed Yuan An's understanding of magical girls.
If even a broken soul can borrow so much of the profound mysteries of Taiyin, what level would the magical girl after her transformation reach if she were to recover her cultivation and reveal her complete Taiyin status?
Could it be... a Golden Core True Monarch who holds a position of authority?
"hiss--"
Thinking about it this way, it seems like there's a lot of potential in the magical girl genre!
Before he transmigrated to this world, he remembered that he was at most a True Monarch of the Lesser Realm, and when he was down on his luck, he could only rely on the Heavenly Official and was reduced to a mere Divine Pill.
Now that a broad road leading to enlightenment is right before his eyes, how could he not be tempted!
However, he quickly dismissed these thoughts and returned them to his mind.
He hadn't forgotten why he had possessed his disciple and transformed into a magical girl before.
"A demonic beast... no, a vile beast?"
The ethereal magical girl took a step forward with her white legs, and in the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared from the world. A moment later, she reappeared, but her figure was no longer in the same place. Instead, she appeared near the huge, inferior beast.
Looking at the inferior beast on the ground, which was no more than a hundred meters away and was still slowly moving forward without noticing her, she had a thoughtful look in her purplish-gray eyes.
"It was just a small test, I never expected that I could actually use this magical girl's body to travel through the void."
She had previously worried that the Taixu of this world might be different from the Taixu of her original world, making some Taixu walking techniques difficult to cultivate and useless. Now it seems that she had worried too much.
As for why the inferior beasts on the ground couldn't find her like they had found the magical girl before, it was naturally because she used the mysterious technique of concealing herself with the Yin energy.
Her purplish-grey eyes swept across the battlefield ruins, finally settling on a heavily wounded man.
Judging from her attire, she was clearly one of the people who had previously used a gun to lure away the pursuing beasts for her disciple.
"...Only one mortal survived?"
After saying this, Yuan An could clearly feel his disciple's obvious sense of loss within him.
She shook her head, hung the mirror at her waist, and moonlight emanated from her jade hand, gathering with the fluttering petals into a long magical moon staff surrounded by cassia branches.
The moon-like magical girl pointed her magic wand at the inferior beast below and whispered.
The magical girl she transformed possessed astonishing supernatural powers, and with the aid of her countless years of Taiyin cultivation, it should have been incredibly easy for her to condense these powers and mysteries into Purple Mansion Divine Powers.
[Attending to the Great Simplicity] [Autumn Moon over the Lake] [Elegant Reflection] [Chapter of the Closing of the Jade Bracelet]...
Various divine powers of the Taiyin condensed and dissipated within her body, but they could never take shape, only becoming mysterious and ambiguous.
"Don't blame yourself. These mortals did this voluntarily to protect you and the magical girl from before. If you blame yourself, you will only be letting them down."
Points of white light gathered at the tip of the magic wand, and terrifying magical power surged endlessly.
"My disciple, you've done your best. At least for now, you can still save that person, can't you?"
She spoke softly, but her eyes revealed a hint of coldness, which seemed to lower the temperature around her by a degree.
Even if she can't condense supernatural powers, so what? With her terrifying control over the Taiyin Dao, Yuan An can still use the Taiyin Dao's supreme profound techniques to fight enemies.
The white light continuously condensed at the top of the moon staff, gradually turning into pure white, a dazzling mystical light carrying terrifying power fluctuations.
"Taiyin Xuan Guang—Go!"
She parted her lips slightly, and her clear, melodious voice echoed between heaven and earth.
A stream of extremely pure white moonlight erupted from the front of the magic staff, transforming into a dazzling white meteor that instantly struck the enormous beast.
The moment the meteor struck the beast's body, the world seemed to lose its color for an instant, and the biting cold air lowered the surrounding temperature to freezing point, before bursting forth with a beam of white light that reached the heavens and the earth.
"—!"
When the white light faded, the ruins of the stadium and streets remained, but the enormous, terrifying beast, tens of meters tall, had vanished.
Only the white ice crystals remained, spreading endlessly and covering the windows of nearby buildings with a thin layer of frost.
What immortality, what recovery? The inferior beast didn't even have time to react to this terrifying attack; it was instantly annihilated along with its negative core.
The surrounding temperature was so low that Yuan Tu'an's eyebrows and hair were covered with a layer of frost.
But he was completely unaware, staring blankly at the scene before him, his mouth involuntarily agape, feeling as if everything that had just happened was a dream.
So he looked up.
A magical girl, as beautiful as the moon, stood silently in the air.
