Chapter 46: Soul Possession In Rong Qing's silent memory, there was less than a month left before the ten-year deadline. "It's done." She finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a rare look of fatigue appeared on the face of her simulated soul. Some inheritances were extremely peaceful, allowing her to read them. But some were simply devilish, and even with the sword will to protect her mind, Rong Qing still suffered a lot. One of them made her feel palpitations when she recalled it. The layers of illusions made her unable to perceive time correctly, and she almost exhausted her mind. Compared with it, the scroll was simply not up to par. And the chain of illusions was just the opening of the inheritance, not even the entrance test. Under the protection of the sword, she hurriedly wrote down the entrance outline and decisively withdrew. After calculating the time, she actually spent more than five years on this inheritance. "Comprehensive and profound." This is Rong Qing's deepest feeling after completing her memorization. She didn't have the ability to remember everything she saw, but she had no problem memorizing the location of the inheritance and the outline of the conditions for entry, given her actual half-step divine soul strength. The collection on the first floor alone included a large number of inherited techniques, including techniques for demon cultivation and ghost cultivation, as well as techniques for magic cultivation that had no trace in the cultivation world. Rare pupil techniques and methods for tempering the body were also everywhere. In addition to the secret techniques, the first floor also contains an extremely rare item: quota. The qualification to enter a certain place, in Rong Qing's opinion, should also be a quota for some kind of inheritance. Unfortunately, one can only use spiritual consciousness to explore the information inside, but cannot take it away. “Perhaps it wants me to meet certain conditions.” Rong Qing thought, “The inheritance I received was recognized as the seventh-grade upper one, which is why I am qualified to stay in the tower for ten years. What if the inheritance I received is even better? Can I get more time… The Floating Word Book only responded to me a few words when I received the inheritance. It seems that only by getting a better inheritance can I learn more about the mysteries of this tower from it.”
The key is, what is the basis for the classification of the rank of this inheritance in the floating character book? Rong Qing recalled the various inheritances in the catalog, "Fortunately, there is still a reference." Rong Qing walked to a bookshelf and said, "It's neither gold nor wood nor stone. This is the heart in the book of all things." If she hadn't investigated them one by one, and hadn't entered the tower because of this inheritance, she really couldn't connect the living heart with the shriveled dead thing on the shelf. But this identical introductory outline clearly told her that this was definitely the same inheritance. "Above the seventh level. I can't get up to the second floor. It seems that the collections on the first floor are almost all at this level." Thinking this, Rong Qing walked away. Time in the tower was extremely precious. Although there was only less than a month left, all the collections on the first floor of the tower had formed a catalog in her mind, so she certainly had a general idea. "After I leave the tower, I can still practice the inheritance in the Book of All Things, so..." Rong Qing walked to the shelf closest to the window. "Practicing the same life-saving technique is extremely important." Rong Qing's trump cards to save her life are, first, the sword intent left by the sword master, and second, the restrictions engraved in the base of her sea of consciousness. The sword intent focuses more on attacking. Once used, it consumes a lot of her spiritual energy. As for the restriction, it was located deep in Rong Qing's sea of consciousness, and using her sea of consciousness as a battlefield was extremely risky. Even if she could counterattack the opponent's magic like when facing Yun Tong's pupil technique, the shock in her own sea of consciousness was not small. What Rong Qing needs is a way to save her life with the least possible damage to her body. She looked down upon escape techniques like Blood Escape, and what really attracted her was the technique recorded on a piece of stone-patterned paper placed on the shelf. The inheritance of this technique is unclear, but fortunately, the recorded content is extremely complete. It is called "Soul Possession" and the form is quite unique. Take out a part of your own flesh and blood and attach it to a dead object, turning it into a substitute. It is not entirely true to say that it is a dead object, it should be a spiritual object, for example, the magic tools and other things that the person has. "I wonder if there is a magic that can parasitize living things..." Rong Qing thought, then shook her head and smiled, "At least there is none on this level." Being parasitic on living things is easy in thought, but it is very difficult to do in practice. When parasitizing on others, one's own consciousness will inevitably fight against the original owner. If it is a short-term possession, it is feasible, but if you want to use it to transform into a substitute walking outside, it is a fantasy. As for the method of taking over another's body, it is not tolerated by heaven. Rong Qing has never heard of such a secret method in the cultivation world. Even if there is some news, it is just some half-baked imitations. "Forget it. No need to think too much. As long as I master this technique, I will have more chances of saving my life when facing the ghost-faced monk or even other more powerful monks." Rong Qing raised her hand and pointed lightly on the stone-patterned paper. The thin paper trembled, as if it was breathing. Rong Qing sat cross-legged on the ground and began to comprehend. No matter how rare the treasures in the tower are, they are all open to visitors. As soon as Rong Qing's spiritual consciousness came into contact with it, it merged into this paper world. There was, of course, an entry test, but it was much easier for Rong Qing to crack it the second time.
She only felt that she was floating in the dark place without sky and earth. At first, she was just a shapeless chaos. There was no need to maintain the so-called human form. The most important thing was the meridians hidden in it. Rong Qing didn't know that she could easily connect to all the inheritances on the first floor because it opened up all the meridians. This seemingly useless special feature became the key to her great gains in the tower. There is an invisible force in the world of paper that pulls Rong Qing to perform every stage of this technique. The five main meridians in the chaos: Puyu, Xiugong, Beique, Zhenliu, and Yizhe were the first to light up, like the five limbs of a person. Then the remaining eight main meridians and twenty-four secondary meridians, like petals blooming, completely illuminated this indescribable body, like a small sun. This stage, like the birth of a star, is just the first step. Rong Qing put all his mind into it, just wanting to master all the tricks of this technique as soon as possible before the time was up. She also couldn't see how the body in the quiet room was absorbing the spiritual energy from above at a terrifying speed. Rong Qing's mind was learning this technique, and her body and soul were also responding. When Rong Qing regained her composure, she opened her eyes and saw a thick layer of pale stone chips covering her body and the ground. The spiritual stone was as white and smooth as jade, and when the spiritual energy in it was consumed, the remaining shell was extremely ugly. Such a large amount of stone chips showed the terrifying amount of spiritual energy Rong Qing had consumed. And the abundant spiritual energy in her body was already eager to try. The corners of Rong Qing's mouth curled up involuntarily. It was not a fake smile, but a genuine joy. "In this way, I will have a way to save my life without being known to others." His body, which had been tense for days, could finally relax a little. For the entire incense stick, she did not try to absorb the spiritual energy, but rather let her mind wander. Even her straight waist began to relax. She had been in the quiet room for less than ten days, but she had actually spent a full ten years. Rong Qing casually performed a dust removal technique. All the stone debris on the ground was cleared away. She was not afraid that Yun Tong would find out when she came in. The predecessors who built this quiet room certainly considered the problem of consuming a lot of spiritual energy. The exposed spiritual stones on the top of the head still emitted a bright white light. Only Rong Qing knew that these were not the original batch. It seems that the person who built the quiet room really used a whole spiritual vein to supply this quiet room. Rong Qing thought. The rest time she set for herself was only one stick of incense, and she had already thought of the magic tool she would use to perform the soul possession technique. The plain robes slid off Rong Qing's body like a butterfly and floated in front of her. Although it is the standard Taoist robe of the Liuguang Sword Sect, considering Rong Qing's generation, this robe is very extraordinary. (End of this chapter)
