Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1734: 440: Nascent Soul Possession! Core Formation Ninth Layer!

The Myriad Demon Abyss.

Within a formation veiled by a hazy, dreamlike mist, the atmosphere felt illusory.

Lu Changsheng held the graceful form of the Five Poisons Cult Leader, immersed in the practice of dual cultivation with her.

His theories were proving correct; by using his Yin Yang Energies to refine her Primordial Yin Origin and Magic Power Origin, the efficiency of their dual cultivation was doubled.

Consequently, Lu Changsheng had spent these past days employing this direct method to facilitate the healing of the Five Poisons Cult Leader.

The arrangement offered him significant advantages as well.

Whenever he utilized his secret technique to expand his physical form, his mana would often become turbulent, surging through him without restraint.

However, during their shared cultivation, the mana origin stored within her magic body acupoints would steadily provide him with nourishment.

While Lu Changsheng harbored no desire to maliciously seize her mana origin, he could not bring himself to let such rampaging power go to waste, leaving him no choice but to refine it.

Though the Five Poisons Cult Leader felt a hint of resentment, she viewed this loss as her own investment in Lu Changsheng, permitting him to absorb and process the energy.

On that particular day, the pair finished yet another session of their shared practice.

The Five Poisons Cult Leader lay exhausted upon the tiger skin, her body as limp as clay and devoid of strength. Her skin shimmered with a radiant, multicolored glow as she slowly regained her usual form, casting a look of bewilderment at Lu Changsheng.

She found this Yangming True Master to be incredibly peculiar. He possessed a variety of strange techniques and followed no established rules, behaving much like a high-level demonic cultivator who specialized in plucking flowers. Yet, she wondered why he was so fixated on his physical stature.

Had she not employed the secret technique to enlarge her own body, she would have struggled to retain the mana origin within her magic body acupoints in her current state.

Lu Changsheng caught her gaze and suddenly felt a twinge of discomfort.

Beneath his calm, almost saintly facade, a heavy sense of remorse and transgression weighed on his spirit.

The guilt was overwhelming!

He offered soft words of comfort to the Five Poisons Cult Leader, suggesting she take time to recover. He then assumed a cross-legged position to cultivate, focusing on refining the mana origin that was currently flooding his limbs, his skeletal structure, his Qi Ocean Core, and his Dantian.

In that moment, a sudden premonition struck Lu Changsheng, and the Golden Que Jade Scroll materialized in his palm.

Upon opening the scroll, he immediately spotted a name flashing with an ominous light, signaling a dire threat.

Lu Ping’an!

"Possession!?"

Seeing the warning on the family genealogy, Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned cold.

"How can this be? How could Ping’an be the target of a possession?"

In the world of cultivation, there are typically two forms of possession.

The first is Nascent Soul possession, which yields the most effective results and carries the fewest risks.

Beyond that, various secret techniques exist within both the righteous and demonic paths that can achieve a similar end, though they require a massive sacrifice.

Such methods of 'possession' have incredibly strict requirements, usually involve devastating side effects, and are rarely encountered.

Furthermore, his son possessed the Great Desolate Dragon Spine and boasted the physical strength of a Third Rank Middle Stage body refiner; a common cultivator would find it impossible to seize his body.

This implied that the current attempt at possession likely originated from a Nascent Soul True Lord!

"A Nascent Soul possession!"

Even though his son, Lu Ping’an, had achieved remarkable feats in body refining, it was only because Lu Changsheng had poured vast amounts of resources into him to force that growth.

Regarding his natural talent, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Root was mediocre at best, if not outright poor.

With such lackluster spiritual talent, it was unlikely that a Nascent Soul cultivator would find his body appealing enough to steal.

"Could the Great Desolate Dragon Spine be the reason? Or is it perhaps the Hope Gu?"

Lu Changsheng pushed these thoughts aside and immediately channeled his soul mana to fully power the genealogy. He used the True Spirit within the jade scroll as a bridge to help Lu Ping’an fight off the possession!

While a Nascent Soul possession meant his son was currently in a life-threatening situation and facing extreme peril,

Even if he survived the attempt, the danger was far from over.

Regardless, he would never allow another soul to take over his son’s body.

"Hmm?"

The Five Poisons Cult Leader, who had been resting nearby to catch her breath, felt the sudden surge of energy. She opened her weary eyes, confused by Lu Changsheng’s sudden change in demeanor.

Her attention was immediately drawn to the Lu Family Genealogy held in his hand.

It appeared simple, yet it radiated an inexplicable Qi signature that she couldn't fathom. The jade scroll, shimmering with golden light, felt ancient, vast, and possessed an overwhelming power that demanded respect.

"Just how many hidden treasures and techniques does this man truly command..."

A wave of suspicion and awe washed over her.

She hadn't expected that in addition to his external incarnation and the Great Luo Sword Embryo, Lu Changsheng would also hold such a supreme artifact.

Lu Changsheng ignored her presence entirely, pouring every ounce of his focus into the genealogy to anchor his son’s consciousness and crush the possession attempt!

...

Meanwhile, deep within a massive mountain range on the frontier of Wu Country.

Lu Ping’an’s physical body was submerged in the Life Pool. Within his fractured sea of consciousness, his soul stared up at the golden Nascent Soul figure looming over him.

His last memory was being tricked into a trap by a villain, who then wore him down until he lost consciousness.

Before he could process his situation, the golden Nascent Soul figure reached out and seized his soul, beginning the process of refining him.

Agony!

The pain was unbearable!

In an instant, Lu Ping’an was hit by a wave of suffering unlike anything he had ever known.

He had spent his life training in martial arts and cultivation, enduring countless hardships and physical trials.

But those experiences were nothing compared to this.

It felt as though he were standing naked in a frozen cellar against the biting winds of winter; it felt like being submerged in a vat of boiling oil as his very essence melted away; it was as if an icy blade were carving his flesh and scraping his bones clean—a torment far worse than death itself.

This was not a physical wound; it was the agony of the soul!

Cultivators feared nothing more than damage to their Dao Foundation and their spirit.

In a possession, one’s very consciousness is devoured and refined, resulting in a level of spiritual pain that is beyond description.

Even though Lu Ping’an was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a divine sense reaching the peak of his realm,

He had no defense against a Nascent Soul possession. His soul consciousness began to shatter immediately.

But just as he reached his limit, a warm and pure Qi manifested from nowhere, stabilizing his spirit and granting him a brief moment of clarity.
