Chapter 202 - 150 The Venerable’s True Form Arrives
Body-snatching has always been a hot topic within the Cultivation World.
All the major sects have taken precautions and developed an extremely comprehensive prevention system.
This includes carrying treasures that defend against the soul attacks and figuring out how to identify body-snatchers.
The latter is often the more crucial element, as there is no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days; offense and defense are always annihilating each other. It is better to focus on deterring the great powers capable of body-snatching, making them understand that body-snatching the chosen ones of their own sect means certain death.
Thus, for the True Disciples of the major sects, there would be a minor inspection every ten years and a major inspection every hundred years.
Taking a first-class sect as an example, the minor inspection would be conducted by at least a Mahayana, while the major inspection required at least a Dao Realm Venerable.
The sect’s chosen ones are often the disciples of a Mahayana or Venerable, constantly in the spotlight and subject to secretive annual inspections.
After understanding the ’development history of preventing body-snatching in the Cultivation World’s sects,’ Gu Wen could somewhat grasp why they were so surprised.
Theoretically, body-snatching True Disciples is inconceivable; even the most minimal ten-year inspection would not be enough for a body-snatcher to advance to Mahayana, and once they did, they should be arrested immediately.
Chi Yu Zi frowned and said, "If they body-snatch a regular disciple, they might avoid the soul inspection. However, they would likely be hindered by the original body’s talent and probably not recover to their peak."
