“Is there nothing you want to say to me?” The Old Man looked at He Pingsheng and asked indifferently.
He Pingsheng had sobered up by now. He smiled coldly, “An ant fighting for its life, struggling to the death, what is there to say?”
“You won and I lost, it’s that simple!”
“Kill or flay me, do as you please!”
Clap…
Clap!
Clap!
The Old Man stretched out his hand and clapped a few times gently, making a loud sound.
“Good, a true hero, upright and honorable!” The Taixu Old Ancestor, with his hunched back, stood up again and slowly walked around He Pingsheng twice, saying, “So now, I am the victor, and you are the loser, correct?”
He Pingsheng said nothing.
The Taixu Old Ancestor continued, “Then, as a loser, can you tell me why you tried to escape?”
“Has your Master ever wronged you?”
He Pingsheng said, “Old Man, why do you ask when you already know the answer?”
The Taixu Old Ancestor said, “This Old Ancestor insists on asking when he already knows. Please enlighten me, young Master He?”
He Pingsheng pointed behind him, “This vast Tai Xu Sect, not letting me leave, confining me here. Don’t you know what your intentions are?”
“And this?”
He turned his arm and pointed to the large Formation that had not yet been fully set up on the ground, “This is clearly a Formation used for Possession!”
“You Old Man are going to Possess me, and you still won’t let me run?”
The Taixu Old Ancestor was momentarily stunned, “Possession… Possession?”
He looked at himself, then at the Formation beneath his feet, then nodded and said, “You think this is a Formation for Possession?”
He Pingsheng retorted, “Is it not?”
“Yes, yes, yes…” The Taixu Old Ancestor nodded, somewhat tiredly, “If you think it is, then it is. Anyway, now you are the loser, and I am the victor!”
“With a single thought, this Old Ancestor can destroy your Divine Thought!”
“Escaping is impossible!”
“Are you interested in making a deal with this Old Ancestor?” The Taixu Old Ancestor turned around with a smile, his back to He Pingsheng, and slowly walked towards the two circular Formations, one large and one small.
With a few claps, Formation Flags landed in their designated positions in his hand.
This Grand Possession Formation became a bit more complete.
He Pingsheng asked, “To kill or flay, do as you please. Do you Old Man still need to make a deal with me?”
“Boring, boring…” The Old Man shook his head like a rattle drum, “How much do you know about Possession?”
He Pingsheng said, “Not much!”
The Taixu Old Ancestor asked, “Then do you know the success rate of this Possession?”
Success rate?
He Pingsheng was stunned; he really didn’t know that.
But before he could answer, the Old Man who was setting up the Formation opposite him began to speak to himself, “Possession is a Heaven-Defying Dao that usurps human relations and the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Its success rate is very low. Even with this Old Ancestor’s current Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, attempting to Possess you, a junior, has a success rate of less than ten percent!”
“So this Old Ancestor’s deal is, you use ten percent of your life and death to exchange for a smooth path in the future, how about it?”
He Pingsheng said, “This Disciple doesn’t quite understand!”
“Hehe…” The Taixu Old Ancestor smiled, “When this Old Ancestor’s Formation is complete, I will perform Possession on you. Of course, my chance of success is only ten percent. If I succeed, you will disappear from this world, and I will occupy your body to continue cultivating!”
“If I fail, then this Old Ancestor’s life will come to an end, and I will give you… this…”
He pointed backward, “The entire Tai Xu Sect, how about it?”
“All the resources in the main hall on the left are prepared for you!”
“And, this Tai Xu Sect, I give it to you… From now on, you will be the Master of the Tai Xu Sect!”
He Pingsheng was not moved at all.
His own life, let alone a ten percent chance of death, even one in ten thousand, he did not want to gamble.
He could gamble on the Heavenly Dao, he could gamble on Opportunity, but he absolutely could not gamble on his own life.
“Can this Disciple refuse?” He Pingsheng asked.
The Old Man shook his head, “No, a loser cannot refuse the terms proposed by the victor!”
“Sit here and properly sort out your Soul and restore your Divine Thought!”
“This way, your chances of winning later will be greater!”
After the Taixu Old Ancestor finished speaking, he resumed setting up the Formation, engrossed in his task.
It didn’t take long, about half an hour later, two dark green light membranes emerged within the Tai Xu Divine Hall.
Gusts of Yin Qi swept in, as if from the netherworld.
This boundless Yin Qi rushed out of the Formation, drifting through the main hall, only to be instantly dispersed by the Nine Yang Formation that had been set up on the outer perimeter of the hall.
“As expected!”
He Pingsheng’s eyes narrowed: everything before him was exactly as he had guessed.
This Nine Yang Formation was used to suppress Yin Qi.
“Let’s begin!”
The Taixu Old Ancestor said calmly, and then He Pingsheng felt his body become uncontrollable.
He was actually controlled by the Taixu Old Ancestor’s Divine Thought and placed within the Possession Formation.
The Possession Formation had two circles.
One large circle, one small circle.
The large circle represented the main position, while the small circle represented the guest position.
He Pingsheng was placed in the main position.
The Taixu Old Ancestor stood in the guest position.
Possession is a Heaven-Defying secret technique of reversing guest and host.
“Master… Master…” He Pingsheng was terrified. He pleaded, “Don’t do this… This Disciple begs you… As long as it’s not Possession, I’ll agree to anything else!”
“Noisy!”
The Taixu Old Ancestor’s gaze darkened, “At this moment, don’t speak carelessly, otherwise your death rate will be even higher!”
Boom…
The Taixu Old Ancestor’s Divine Thought burst forth, enveloping He Pingsheng.
Under the control of this powerful Divine Thought, He Pingsheng was unable to move his body, or even circulate his inner Qi, or speak.
He could only watch, wide-eyed, as the Taixu Old Ancestor’s Divine Thought invaded his body inch by inch.
Under the enhancement of the powerful Soul Thought, he was utterly defenseless.
“Not bad… to actually possess such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, ha ha ha… It seems this Old Ancestor didn’t choose the wrong person!”
“You even have a treasure like a gathering treasure basin?”
“Hahahahaha… As expected of a Son of Heaven, your future achievements will definitely surpass this Old Ancestor’s!”
…
He Pingsheng’s vision suddenly went dark, and he lost all sensation.
He didn’t know how long he had been in a daze before he woke up again.
In the boundless darkness, a ray of light flashed.
In the pitch-black night sky, rain poured down incessantly, a torrential downpour.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning occasionally tore through the night, illuminating the deep valley.
In a slightly elevated spot within the deep valley, there was a wooden three-story building.
Lights blazed inside the building, and a tall man in a white Daoist robe stood at the railing, his face full of worry.
He Pingsheng’s body trembled!
He knew this man.
It was none other than the Taixu Old Ancestor!
No… This should be the Taixu Old Ancestor in his youth.
A young woman in a greenish-blue Daoist robe gently walked out of the room. Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, but like the Taixu Old Ancestor, her face bore a faint look of worry!
He Pingsheng finally realized why he was seeing this scene.
Possession.
During the Fusion process of Souls, where there is a bit of me in you and a bit of you in me, both parties can see each other’s past memories.
This is… the Taixu Old Ancestor’s memory?
