After hearing He Weiming's words, Yi Tian had a deeper understanding of Qian Lingzi's actions. These Upper Realm cultivators really had endless means. In addition to leaving an avatar in this realm, they even used the Possession Technique to allow the avatar to maintain its cultivation and take charge of the sect.
Unfortunately, the strength of Qian Lingzi's avatar was far inferior to his main body. In addition, he had possessed Qian Lingzi twice before, so his soul was far weaker than before.
Furthermore, He Weiming revealed a key piece of information. Qian Lingzi's main body was the ancestor of the Shi Family from a thousand years ago. He was also a talented disciple in the sect.
His cultivation progress was comparable to He Weiming's, but he was later chosen as the Sword Spirit. He thought he would inherit the sect. However, he was sent out to carry out a mission and unexpectedly died. After that, the sect master's strength was greatly reduced, so he had to go into seclusion to cultivate.
Although He Weiming always had doubts about this matter, he didn't know where to start. At the very least, all the clues had been erased. Then, he took advantage of the time when the sect master was in seclusion to find many opportunities to raise his cultivation to the Yuanying stage.
Then, Qian Lingzi appeared out of nowhere. He didn't know what the sect master was thinking, but he entrusted all the power of the direct bloodline to him. However, Qian Lingzi's cultivation didn't seem to be smooth. Every hundred years, he would have to go into seclusion for a period of time.
His cultivation progress was inferior to He Weiming's, but the two of them had fought once after the Yuanying stage. He Weiming still had lingering fears when talking about this fight.
His cultivation was clearly higher, but his understanding of spirit power was far inferior to Qian Lingzi's. In the end, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position under Qian Lingzi's coaxing and pestering.
At that time, He Weiming had investigated many times, but he couldn't find any clues. He only knew that there were differences between the direct bloodline and the branch bloodline. It wasn't until many years ago, when Qian Lingzi returned from Nanjiang and went into seclusion again, that He Weiming found clues from the clues left behind by the sect's ancestors.
A thousand years ago, when Qian Lingzi's doppelganger first possessed someone, he used the Soul Devouring Technique to extract all the cultivation of a late stage Yuanying disciple.
At that time, when he did this, he didn't clean it up properly and let people leave some traces. Although it was deliberately buried afterwards, in fact, there would always be some clues left behind.
Fortunately, after the Thousand Spirit Abyss used the possession technique many times, it would more or less merge with the souls of the possessed disciples, which would affect the progress of his cultivation. Due to the fact that his Divine Soul was a mess, his cultivation progress was much slower than ordinary people. If it weren't for his high foundation and starting point, even disciples with superior aptitudes could surpass him in cultivation progress.
Not to mention a cultivator with superior aptitude like He Weiming, who was left behind in the blink of an eye. He just didn't expect Qian Lingzi to do something to the cultivation method, dividing the sect into the main branch and the branch branch. Even if the cultivation of a main branch disciple was weaker than a branch disciple, relying on the flaws in their cultivation method, they could still suppress a high level cultivator.
After hearing He Weiming's words, Yi Tian thought about the Thousand Spirit Sect's sword spirit selection this time. It was said that the candidates were all Jin Dan disciples. It seemed that the Thousand Spirit Abyss also wanted to pick up a ready-made one. Moreover, after the selection, there would definitely be many restrictions on the candidate's cultivation. From the analysis of the existing records, the cultivation of the possessed person would definitely gradually decrease. The reason was that the soul of Qian Lingzi's doppelganger would definitely be weakened after being possessed many times.
If a Jin Dan early stage cultivator was selected, then he could beat them at their own game and give them a surprise.
After collecting enough Illusion Formation Stones and alchemy, Yi Tian returned to the Thousand Spirit Sect with He Weiming. According to the way the two had agreed, they continued to hide in the sect and waited for the opportunity to come.
During this time, Yi Tian didn't forget about the sword spirit selection that He Weiming had mentioned before. Moreover, he had also received the shortlist early in the morning. In the cave residence, he took the shortlist jade booklet and carefully looked through it. It described the details of several disciples.
Just as he had guessed, the Thousand Spirit Abyss directly limited the selection to Jin Dan early stage cultivators. At this stage, the cultivators had just condensed a Jin Dan and their souls had not undergone any special strengthening. It was the easiest to be possessed.
However, there was still a problem in front of Yi Tian. After all, the Thousand Spirit Abyss needed a sword spirit for possession. Moreover, he didn't need to secretly attack every Jin Dan disciple. Firstly, it would consume too much True Essence. Secondly, the more he attacked, the more flaws there would be.
After reading this jade slip, Yi Tian's gaze stopped on a disciple named Lou Zhongjun. He saw a detailed introduction of this person written below. At the age of eight, he was selected as an outer disciple as a Spirit Child. In the mortal world, he had no contact with the head of the family. His aptitude was excellent, and he didn't have many friends with his peers. He was a person who cultivated hard.
What Yi Tian valued the most was that this person's bone age was less than two hundred years old. It should be known that Jin Dan cultivators who were less than two hundred years old were rare. Moreover, he was a cultivator who had been cultivated by the Thousand Spirit Sect since young and had a clean background.
At the end of the jade booklet, it was recorded that this person had been injured during a mission in the Foundation Establishment stage. His soul should have been damaged. After returning to the sect, he had spent a lot of time and energy to repair his soul.
Closing the jade booklet, Yi Tian's face revealed a trace of joy. He thought to himself, "This person's conditions coincide with the requirements of the Thousand Spirit Abyss. Moreover, the damage to the soul is not so easy to recover. Even if it is recovered, as long as there is a flaw, it will be an opportunity for the person who wants to take over."
Now the most difficult thing was how to make this person stand out. Presumably, if he were in the Thousand Spirit Abyss's shoes, he would also increase his cultivation efforts and let him come in contact with the many methods of the direct line of disciples. Then, during the selection, he would be able to surpass everyone.
What he had to do was to add fuel to the fire and bury a trace of fire into Lou Zhongjun's soul. Thinking of this, he sent a message to He Weiming to investigate the location of this person's cave residence and his work and rest schedule. In the end, he still had to wait until the Thousand Spirit Abyss was not in the sect before he could make his move.
Fortunately, in the past few years, he had spread the news of the Fire Tool Pavilion in the Central Region. In addition, the auction of the node map in ZhongTian City had caused a stir. After that, he learned that the Thousand Spirit Sect did not bid for any of the maps. As for the two maps, they were bought by the Tiandao Sect and a group of rogue cultivators.
As a result, the Thousand Spirit Abyss could not sit still. After negotiating with the rogue cultivators, they could only cooperate with the Tiandao Sect.
Yi Tian waited for five years in the cave residence for the Thousand Spirit Abyss to come out. This time, he was only going to the Tiandao Sect to negotiate with Yu Xiang and the others, so he would not be back for a while. For Yi Tian, this was a good opportunity. The time was not enough for him to set up a formation to break the restriction, but it was more than enough for him to make a move.
After waiting for the Thousand Spirit Abyss to come out for three hours, Yi Tian directly cast a spell to hide his whereabouts. Then, he went out of the cave residence and went to the Thousand Spirit Sect's inner sect Jin Dan's cave residence to look for the whereabouts of Lou Zhongjun.
