Chapter 15: The Five Laws of Possession (3rd Update, Extra Update)
At this moment, the ancestor’s expression showed a hint of madness, "Life cannot restart, but one can possess. Junior, are you willing to be possessed, to fulfill this old man?"
"I am not willing."
Lu Xuanji felt a chill in his heart, but he still planned to struggle a bit, to resist.
"Ancestor, I am just a Three Spirit Roots cultivator. If you possess me, it would be a great loss. You should possess a Dual Spirit Root, a Celestial Spirit Root." Lu Xuanji persuaded, "Possessing me would be a big loss for you."
"There are rules to possession. Essentially, possession is about erasing the will within the soul, then merging the possessed soul with the body’s soul, like putting old wine in a new bottle, to deceive the Heaven and Earth Dao." The ancestor laughed, "There are five major laws of possession, none of which can be violated."
"Firstly, a cultivator can only possess once in a lifetime; a second attempt means certain death."
"Secondly, only a Purple Mansion Cultivator or someone at a higher realm can attempt possession."
"Thirdly, during the possession moment, the attributes must match."
"Fourthly, after possession, a mismatch between soul and body may occur. This mismatch is unnoticeable at a low realm but becomes evident during the attempt to reach the Nascent Soul Realm, where the tribulation is twice as fierce compared to a normal person. Most cultivators who possess cannot achieve Nascent Soul because the celestial tribulation is too violent."
"This also necessitates that only Purple Mansion Cultivators, Golden Core Cultivators can attempt possession. Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment cultivators are too weak, their divine souls too frail to possess; while Nascent Soul Cultivators are too strong and contemptuous of possession."
