Chapter 1305 Tempting
The moment he broke free, Jiang Xiaochuan endured the excruciating pain emanating from his sea of consciousness.
The buried Yin energy was detonated again, delivering a fatal blow to Situ Qingcang.
Even if he suffers another backlash, he must still defeat this old monster.
Otherwise, I would be the one who dies today!
But the moment the thought crossed my mind, it was like hitting a wall full of spikes, instantly crumbling away.
The previous secret connection with those wisps of yin energy has been completely severed.
Jiang Xiaochuan felt a chill run down his spine. He forced himself to steady his staggering figure and stared intently.
At this moment, Situ Qingcang and Situ Hong were completely enveloped by the blood-red net.
This blood-red network was like a living thing, not only blocking out sight but also completely severing the spiritual connection and energy perception between the inside and outside.
A closer look reveals that the blood web originated from the array still operating beneath the feet of the two individuals.
Jiang Xiaochuan, skeptical, tentatively extended a wisp of spiritual energy to touch it.
The blood web not only remained motionless, but also emitted a strong force of devouring and rebounding, its toughness far exceeding expectations.
"This Situ Qingcang... is forcibly possessing another's body!"
Jiang Xiaochuan understood instantly.
Possession is an act against the will of Heaven, with an extremely low success rate, especially against a person with a clear mind, where the rejection reaction will be even more intense.
But remembering that Situ Qingcang had said before that Situ Hong was his most compatible descendant in the past hundred years, Jiang Xiaochuan felt relieved.
Only with such an extreme bloodline resonance, coupled with his hundreds of years of cultivation and secret techniques, would he dare to take this risk.
This thought sent a chill down Jiang Xiaochuan's spine.
If this ruthless old monster were to successfully possess Situ Hong's body, the consequences would be unimaginable!
He instinctively unleashed his bloodlust, attempting to forcefully break through the net.
Just as Jiang Xiaochuan was concentrating on his preparations, the crimson net suddenly expanded and then rapidly contracted.
At the same time, an extremely chaotic fluctuation emanated from the blood web.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaochuan decisively stopped what he was doing and quickly figured out the reason through observation.
He was certain that while he was in control of himself, the possession was also taking place simultaneously.
Unfortunately, he used the Yin energy to backfire, causing damage to Situ Qingcang's heart meridian, and the Yin and Yang energies went out of control and surged back, leaving him in an extremely bad state.
However, the possession using the formation could not be stopped, which led to this situation.
Otherwise, Situ Qingcang could have temporarily abandoned the body-stealing scheme and instead dealt with him.
Having grasped the situation, Jiang Xiaochuan looked at the blood-red net again.
At this moment, the crimson net had transformed into a thick blood cocoon, trapping the two inside.
If things continue like this, Situ Qingcang will be annihilated without my intervention.
Situ Hong's body and soul will also be overwhelmed by the backlash and out-of-control energy of the failed ritual, causing them both to perish.
Regardless, although Situ Hong was a bit dim-witted, he treated me fairly well, showing goodwill and even tipping me off on several occasions.
Watching helplessly as he was dragged down to be buried with him, a pang of pity swept through Jiang Xiaochuan's heart.
More importantly, a bold and tempting idea suddenly ignited in Jiang Xiaochuan's mind.
If Situ Qingcang's lifelong cultivation could be safely transferred to Situ Hong without destroying the original owner's body, but instead through transfer and infusion.
This allowed the seemingly foolish but not entirely bad young master Situ to instantly possess the strength of the Nirvana Realm...
Just thinking about it made Jiang Xiaochuan's heart race; it wasn't impossible!
The essence of the soul-snatching formation is an extreme ritual for transferring the soul and life essence. If it can be guided and corrected, there may still be a glimmer of hope!
Jiang Xiaochuan locked his gaze on the crimson cocoon and the possession formation below, taking a deep breath to force himself to calm down.
Consciousness sinks into the inherited memories deep within the mind, frantically searching for ancient records related to the transfer of the soul and the grafting of the origin.
As Jiang Xiaochuan closed his eyes and concentrated, the fluctuations of the blood cocoon became increasingly unstable, as if it might burst at any moment.
"found it!"
Soon, a glint flashed in Jiang Xiaochuan's eyes, and a fragmented record of an ancient soul-transferring wedding dress ritual surfaced in his mind.
Although they are not a perfect match, the core principles are the same. The key lies in protecting the recipient's soul and guiding and purifying the source of transmitted energy.
"We're doing this as a last resort!"
Jiang Xiaochuan glanced at Situ Hong's contorted figure in pain within the blood cocoon and muttered to himself:
"Success or failure hinges on this one move; if you succeed, you're lucky..."
As he spoke, he cleared a section of the ground.
With spiritual power gathered at his fingertips, he rapidly inscribed a complex auxiliary array based on the incomplete array diagram in his inherited memory and the outer patterns of the possession array.
This formation can stabilize the soul and use one's own spiritual energy as a guide to build a temporary mental barrier.
It penetrates the blood network to connect with Situ Hong's soul, which is on the verge of collapse, and resists the erosion and assimilation of Situ Qingcang's soul.
In this way, Situ Qingcang's own consciousness cannot be integrated, so he naturally cannot control Situ Hong.
After completing the formation, Jiang Xiaochuan broke out in a cold sweat; the exertion far exceeded his expectations.
Without hesitation, he immediately sat cross-legged in the formation, formed hand seals, and continuously poured the pure spiritual energy within his body into the formation.
"Om..."
The auxiliary formation lit up with a clear light that was completely different from the blood-red color, and it managed to resonate weakly with the Blood Possession Formation.
A tiny ray of light tentatively extended towards the blood-red cocoon.
As time went on, Jiang Xiaochuan was already drenched in cold sweat, but new problems kept arising.
To complete the transfer of cultivation, Situ Qingcang's cultivation essence must be transmitted in an orderly manner.
However, his heart meridian is now damaged, and his energy is running rampant, making it impossible to guide.
"Damn it, what a load of crap!"
Jiang Xiaochuan cursed under his breath, filled with remorse.
"If I had known I had to do this, I wouldn't have been so ruthless earlier. Now I'm the one who has to heal this old ghost?"
Despite his complaints, he didn't dare stop working for a moment.
He diverted some of his attention to control that wisp of spiritual light, carefully avoiding the core backlash area of the possession formation, and getting close to Situ Qingcang's position.
Then, he slowly channeled his pure spiritual energy into Situ Qingcang's broken body through the weak gaps in the auxiliary formation and the blood cocoon.
