A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 36 The Young Boy of the Mo Family Mansion in Lanzhou
"The Mo family mansion is currently managed by the Fourth Madam, with the Fifth Madam and two others assisting her..."

Sun Ergou knew the general situation of the Mo family.

It is similar to the original trajectory.

Of Mo Juren's five wives, four are still alive. He has three daughters, two of whom are his biological children: the eldest, Mo Yuzhu, and the youngest, Mo Caihuan. He also has an adopted daughter, the daughter of a loyal subordinate. After the subordinate passed away, he adopted her, gave her his medical skills, and treated her as his second daughter, naming her Mo Fengwu.

However, what puzzled Han Li was that a year ago, a mysterious young master and a burly giant moved into the Mo family mansion.

No one knows the origins of this young master and the giant.

Some say that the young master is the illegitimate son of Mo Juren, the master of the Mo Society.

Some say he was the last disciple of Mo Juren, who had been missing for many years.

There are many speculations.

Han Li didn't speculate; instead, he sneaked in late at night.

Appearing openly in public is not his style; sneaking around in the shadows is his way of doing things.

That night, he used an invisibility spell to quietly scale the wall and enter the Mo residence.

Although the Mo family has martial arts masters, such as Mo Juren's fifth wife, who is a first-rate martial arts expert and was once a loyal maidservant who accompanied the first wife, she is ultimately just a mortal expert. No matter how sharp her senses are, it is extremely difficult for her to detect the approach of a slightly cautious cultivator.

Needless to say, there are other overt and covert sentries as well.

...

In the dead of night, the Mo residence was shrouded in darkness.

Only deep within the Mo residence, in the room where Mo Juren once lived, was lit by a yellowish candlelight.

At a desk, an eight- or nine-year-old boy was engrossed in reading a book with a red cover. In a dark corner not far from the boy, the figure of a tall, burly man lay silently in wait.

"Alas, cultivating immortality is difficult. This single incantation has stumped me for a long time, preventing me from mastering it." From the quiet room came the boy's slightly childish voice: "I wonder when I will be able to master the fifth level of this technique?"

After closing the book, the boy prepared to go to bed.

But the next moment, his intuition kicked in, and his eyelids twitched slightly. He then abruptly turned his head to look at a tree outside the room.

When the "Heavenly Eye Technique" was activated, many things in his field of vision changed:

"Who's there?"

A loud shout echoed throughout the Mo residence.

Under the willow tree by the pond outside, a figure stood quietly.

Who else could it be but Han Li?

Han Li had actually been there for quite a while.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to the two figures inside the room. But when his keen senses caught sight of the burly man's figure and he sensed a familiar aura emanating from him, his eyes widened in shock: "Zhang Tie?!"

That's right, the towering giant was none other than his good friend and senior brother from the Seven Mysteries Sect: Zhang Tie.

That would be fine, he wouldn't make a fuss about it.

What truly astonished him was that he secretly used his Heavenly Eye Technique to observe the eight- or nine-year-old boy, only to discover that the boy was actually a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining! And more importantly, this boy had coincidentally turned Zhang Tie into a corpse puppet!

This discovery surprised him so much that he momentarily lost his composure.

It was this momentary leak of his aura that made the boy inside the room aware of his presence.

"It can't be such a coincidence..."

"It's Zhang Tie again, and it's a corpse puppet, and it just so happens to be in this Mo family mansion..."

"This person..."

"It's either Mo Juren, who successfully possessed someone else's body, or Yu Zitong!"

It was able to gain the unquestioning acceptance and even full support of the Mo family.

Yu Zitong cannot do it.

Because possession does not mean accepting the other person's memories.

At most, one can obtain only a few fragments of memory.

But if it were just fragments of memories, the entire Mo family would have exposed Yu Zitong long ago, and how could they have had a peaceful year afterward?

As for how Doctor Mo, being a mortal, successfully possessed the body?

Can mortals possess the bodies of cultivators?

The answer is: yes!

absolutely okay!

...

The three ironclad rules of possession. First, cultivators must not possess mortals, otherwise the possessed body will collapse because it cannot withstand the act of possession.

Second, only when someone with higher magical power possesses someone with lower magical power can they avoid backlash. The greater the difference in power, the higher the success rate.

Third, a cultivator can only possess another body once in their lifetime, regardless of their magical power.

of course.

These are the three ironclad rules of the lower realm.

In the spirit realm, this rule is utterly ineffective. Some true spirits divide their primordial spirit into 100,000 parts, creating 100,000 separate souls to possess other beings, with the limit being 100,000 possessions. The so-called ironclad rule of possession is nothing in the face of those beings.

Moreover, neither the spiritual root nor the mortal realm has a rule that mortals cannot possess cultivators' bodies!
As long as a mortal possesses the magical power of a cultivator, they can possess a cultivator whose magical power is lower!

Doctor Mo can achieve this through the "Seven Ghosts Devouring Soul Technique".

This demonic technique can temporarily convert the essence within a mortal body into magical power.

The temporary magical power that Doctor Mo, a master-level martial artist in the mortal world, gained after his essence was transformed was comparable to that of a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

in this way.

The magic power is here.

There are also targets for possession.

If Mo Juren were to attempt to possess a child whose mind is not yet fully developed, he would have a high chance of success.

As for Yu Zitong's threat?

With Dr. Mo's wisdom, he must have thought of a solution.

It was precisely because he had thought of so much in the blink of an eye, was shocked, and revealed his inner energy that the little ghost inside the house discovered him and even shouted out, thus warning the entire Mo family.

"Interesting, very interesting..."

"You actually succeeded?"

"This is really..."

The more Han Li thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"It's you, Han Li? How is that possible? Weren't you dead?"

The boy observed with his Heavenly Eye Technique. Although he couldn't discern the specific cultivation level of the person under the tree, he saw the darkness as if it were daytime and clearly recognized Han Li's appearance. Therefore, his astonishment was no less than Han Li's.

"Heh, Master Mo, congratulations on your successful possession."

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Doctor Mo's pupils contracted sharply.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute his identity as Mo Juren.

But after realizing something, he immediately abandoned any remaining hope:

"Very well, very well, what a brilliant feigned death escape, what a masterful escape! You even fooled this old man!!"

"To have such shrewdness and cunning at such a young age, I have underestimated you."

The more Doctor Mo recalled the past, the more wary he became of his disciple outside the window.

The depth of their scheming is one aspect.

Secondly, he hadn't taught this boy any immortal techniques before, to prevent any backlash. Yet, the boy still grew up and is now unfathomable, his cultivation level impossible for him to fathom.

This is very wrong.

Extraordinary.

Keep in mind, he was at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining. Unless Han Li's cultivation level was higher than his, and his magical power was significantly greater, only then could his Heavenly Eye Technique fail to see through him. Or perhaps, this young man had cultivated an even more advanced technique for concealing his aura?

But here comes the problem:
Where is it?
He didn't teach me anything back then.

“Master Mo, we haven’t seen each other for many years. Won’t you invite me in for a seat? Besides, it’s not right for you to involve a group of mortals in the battles between us cultivators. I’m afraid that if we accidentally hurt someone here, it won’t be me who will feel the pain.”

Han Li's squinting threat was also a test.

In just a dozen breaths, the area was already surrounded by countless ordinary martial artists.

The visitors included people of all ages, with women making up the majority.

Leading the group were four beautiful women.

Secondly, there were three young girls in their prime, with outstanding looks that could be described as national beauties.

Those approaching from the surrounding area were the Mo family's overt and covert sentries and guards.

The boy-like Doctor Mo pondered for only a moment before immediately giving a look to his several capable wives. In the candlelight, the boy's gaze seemed somewhat eerie.

Immediately, Doctor Mo spoke in a deep voice:
"You...all of you, step back!"
