Time passed slowly … The possession had been going on for an unknown amount of time. Even Wang Baole was starting to feel tired. After all, it was tiring to continuously release the Dark Fire and conjure the devouring seed and his intrinsic scabbard. He also had to make them shake and pose as if they were struggling to scare people.
Also, it was very tiring to devour the Old Ghost's soul. He had to bite it every time.
Most importantly, even though Wang Baole had given up on resisting in the end and focused on devouring, allowing the old ghost to mess around and unleash different types of possession spells, such coordination was still very tiring.
"There's nothing I can do. Who asked Father to be a good person? To respect the elderly, I'll just let him struggle." Wang Baole sighed. He didn't hide his happiness at all, but he also put on a helpless expression. He stepped forward and devoured part of the Old Ghost's soul.
By now, he had devoured almost 70% of the Old Ghost's soul. Wang Baole even felt that he was transforming. He had a feeling that when this Possession ended and he opened his eyes, his cultivation level would completely break through, and he would step into the Spirit Immortal Realm from the Soul Conduit realm.
Moreover, he definitely wouldn't be at the early-stage Spirit Immortal realm. There was a high possibility that … he would directly rise to the mid-stage Spirit Immortal realm, or even the late-stage Spirit Immortal realm … There seemed to be some hope.
"Forget it. I'll just let it be tiring for this." Wang Baole sighed. He pounced forward again and devoured fiercely. However, the moment he devoured, the Laozu, who was still experimenting, suddenly roared. The remaining part of his soul dispersed. It wasn't another attempt. Instead, it retreated. It actually chose to escape!
It was obvious that the Old Ghost was shocked by the strangeness of this Possession. At this moment, he actually gave up and wanted to leave. However … this was Wang Baole's essence body. It wasn't something that the Old Ghost could come and go as he pleased.
Just like how the old ghost had made use of Wang Baole's cultivation of the Demonic Eye Art to form an unseen connection with Wang Baole, which became an opportunity for him to possess Wang Baole's body, this unseen connection could also be used by Wang Baole to prevent the old ghost from escaping his body!
"Demonic Eye Art!" Wang Baole's soul flickered as it transformed into an enormous black eye, which transformed into a sealing mark. The old ghost screamed miserably, unable to extricate himself from the possession.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I was wrong, please let me go, I can give you anything, I was wrong …"
"Call me daddy, and I'll consider it!"
"Dad, I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please let me go!!"
"I've thought it through. It's useless even if you call me daddy. Son, don't even think about it!"
"Wang Baole, you forced me to do this!!"
"I'm forcing you, so what?!" Wang Baole snorted, and pounced on him again.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
"Nine and One Origin Restoration Technique …"
"Demonic Eyes Heavenly Art …"
"Divine Art of Concealment …"
In one breath, he used more than ten Cultivation Methods, but the result … was still failure. As for his soul, more than eighty percent of it had been devoured by Wang Baole. At that moment, the only thing left was the head of his Spirit. It floated there alone, its eyes filled with confusion and despair.
He had completely given up. While he was exhausted, he was perplexed by the biggest obsession in his heart. That was … why was it like this? Why did he fail?
"Wang Baole, I'll use a secret in exchange for your answer. Tell me, why did the possession turn out like this …" In the end, the First Generation Ghost looked at Wang Baole blankly and murmured.
Wang Baole, who was preparing to devour what was left of the First Generation Ghost's Spirit, heard him and asked, "What's the secret? Tell me."
"The Divine Eye Art isn't a cultivation technique that I created myself. Like the statues outside, it comes from a mysterious place. The name of that place is … the Graveyard of Stars. It's a legendary place in the Never-Ending Dao Domain. It's a mystic realm that countless top-notch families and sects crave for, and I've mastered a method that allows me to obtain a spot to secretly enter when others enter through a certain ritual!
Don't even think about searching my soul. I've sealed this secret with a restriction. Once I search your soul, it will collapse. Now, can you tell me why my possession failed this time? "The First Generation Ghost looked at Wang Baole with anticipation in his eyes.
He said that he wanted an answer in exchange, but in reality, the reason he said all this was just to throw out the bait. He wanted to save his life. Deep in his heart, he even had some thoughts. Although he had failed this time, it did not mean that he would not succeed the next time. As long as Wang Baole was tempted and gave him a chance, he would be able to keep his life.
He believed that once he was tempted, his life would be spared. As for the secret … he would naturally tell Wang Baole. That was because there were two ways to enter the mysterious place — one was the orthodox way, and the other was the unorthodox way. Before he died, he had passed down the orthodox way to his people. As for the unorthodox way, he had originally intended to trick others, but unfortunately, he didn't use it until he died.
Now, he planned to use it to trick Wang Baole. As long as Wang Baole was tempted and listened to his method, then he would have a chance to regain control of the situation!
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes at the First Generation Laozu. "Interesting," he said with a smile.
"Of course I can tell you why the possession failed," he said. "You fool. This body of mine is nothing more than a clone. You want to possess my clone? Aren't you stupid? I'm even looking forward to your successful possession. I wonder if you'll become my avatar after successfully possessing my avatar? "Wang Baole coughed and gave his answer.
The answer was like countless bolts of lightning that exploded within the First Generation Ghost's soul. He had guessed many things, but never could he have guessed that the answer would be like this. His soul trembled, and he almost lost control and exploded.
"Impossible!!" Roared the First Generation Ghost. As far as he was concerned, this was a huge joke. He had prepared so much, thought about it for so long, and had come up with all sorts of methods and schemes. In the end, he realized that the body he was trying to possess was an illusory clone.
His instincts told him that something was wrong. If Wang Baole was a clone, then there was no way he wouldn't know about it. Unless ….
"Someone used some sort of heaven-defying magic to block my soul senses and plant a seed of illusion in me!!" That was the only explanation he could think of. He was filled with bitterness, madness, and indignation. He was about to speak when, in the next moment, he saw Wang Baole's spirit body charging towards him.
"Don't you want to know …" A strong sense of impending doom made the old ghost shriek. However, before he could finish his sentence, what was left of his soul was immediately devoured by Wang Baole in the next moment. There was not a single trace of him left.
He had already died once, and only his soul body was left. If he had died at the hands of someone else, perhaps because the Nine Hells had been sealed, there would still be some imprints in his soul, and there would still be a chance for him to be resurrected. But … if he died at the hands of the Dark Sect, there was no way he could do that. Because the moment he was devoured, Wang Baole said something!
"When heaven and earth are separated, the cycle of fate stops!"
As soon as he said this, the sound of something breaking came from Wang Baole's soul.
The Divine Eye civilization's first Thearch had been destroyed in body and soul!
"Of course I want to know, but I also know that leaving behind future troubles is of no benefit to me. Besides … the Violet Gold civilization isn't stupid. You're obviously not the only one who knows about this!" Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. Based on the First Generation Ghost's words, he could vaguely guess why the Violet Gold civilization would cooperate with the weak Divine Eye civilization. Wang Baole felt that it was unlikely that there wasn't a secret about the Graveyard of Stars involved.
"Xie Haiyang … might even have eaten three of them, even going so far as to create a rift between himself and me, someone he invested in for a long time, because he wanted to spy on this so-called Graveyard of Stars!"
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Wang Baole's mind. As he sensed the majesty of his soul body and the waves of energy that were about to explode, he recalled the possession. He was ninety percent sure that Senior Brother Chen Qing … had helped him back then and left him with such a great opportunity.
"Senior Brother, where exactly are you …" Wang Baole sighed. With gratitude and longing, his soul spread out and covered his entire body. The moment he regained control of his body, his cultivation level suddenly soared!
