Chapter 119.1: Possession
Qin Yanzhi, of course, also noticed. “It’s just a demon in possession…”
He suddenly stopped and glanced at Jing Yue profoundly.
Jing Yue was puzzled and looked back at him, his expression clearly written: What do you mean?
Qin Yanzhi ignored it calmly, and said, “We killed thousands of demonic cultivators in West Shu and there must be some fish that slipped through the net and escaped by protecting their souls. Miniwest Lu region is closest to West Shu and most cultivators here don’t have a high base. It’s most suitable to come here to take possession.”
Jing Yue smothered a laugh. “The place is well chosen, but this demonic cultivator is too unlucky.”
A cultivator’s soul could not leave the body for too long. They either had to find someone and take possession of the body as soon as possible or own a treasure to nourish the soul like Jing Yue. Otherwise, the soul was bound to collapse after some time.
But each person only had one chance to take possession. Once successful, the cultivator's original cultivation base would be invalidated, and could only re-cultivate on the foundation of the new body.
Therefore, a cultivator would never take possession unless it was the last resort. Even if it must be done, they would find a good body. Besides, taking possession was a struggle between two souls. The better the talent and the stronger the physical body, the more difficult it would be to take possession, with the chances of success less than 10%.
Looking at Chen Guo again, it was obvious that his aptitude was ordinary, and the cultivation base was only Qi Refining. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t be selected. Otherwise, after struggling to take possession, who would want to live only 200-300 years even if they practiced desperately?
