The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

However, the person in front of him seemed unwilling to get entangled in the matter and directly changed the subject.

"I know you're curious, but there's no need to speculate anymore! You'll know everything when it's your turn."

"Your coming to see me again means you've found the Floating Life Cauldron. Cherish it! It's an old friend of yours!"

The man's tone was somewhat lingering.

The man then used magic to shrink the Floating Life Cauldron to the size of his palm. Ye Qingyang stared at the cauldron that was constantly floating and rotating in the man's hand.

"So this small cauldron is called the Floating Life Cauldron!" Ye Qingyang thought to himself.

Apart from the faint glow emanating from it, there was nothing different. Ye Qingyang was curious and asked.

"May I ask, senior, what is the origin of this Floating Life Cauldron?"

The man held the Floating Life Cauldron in his hands, his eyes deep and filled with emotion. He slowly recounted, "The Floating Life Cauldron is an ancient divine artifact, containing endless mysteries. It can help you cultivate, refine spiritual materials, and also subdue demons and evil spirits, and protect the righteous path. But its true secrets must be explored by yourself."

Ye Qingyang was deeply moved and cherished the Floating Life Cauldron even more.

The man handed the Floating Life Cauldron to Ye Qingyang and cautioned him, "This cauldron is extremely powerful, but it also comes with risks. Be careful when using it, and don't let its power cloud your judgment."

Ye Qingyang respectfully accepted it, and feeling the faint spiritual power emanating from the Floating Life Cauldron, he secretly resolved to comprehend its mysteries.

Ye Qingyang then seemed to remember something and asked, "Senior has entered my dreams several times, and I have also witnessed some of your experiences. However, Senior is a cultivator, while I am merely a mortal. This Floating Life Cauldron is of no use to me. What did Senior give me...?"

Ye Qingyang's tone was full of probing, while he was also carefully observing the other party.

The man was taken aback by what he said, looking somewhat surprised. He then closed his eyes to cast a spell, and when he opened them, his eyes shone with golden light as he looked at Ye Qingyang.

Ye Qingyang felt dizzy and lightheaded. When the man stopped casting the spell, he shook his head, trying to clear his head. Before he could fully recover from the state he had just been in, he heard the man say something to himself.

"I see, no wonder you reacted that way."

The man then looked at Ye Qingyang seriously and said, "You are no longer an ordinary person, you are a cultivator! By cultivating the Wuji Gong, you have already stepped onto the path of immortality."

Ye Qingyang was shocked and blurted out, "What? How is this possible?"

The man said, "If you hadn't cultivated, I wouldn't have been able to enter your dream or meet you."

"I initially thought you were already cultivating, but it turns out you don't even know what cultivation is. You just casually practiced whatever others told you to, without even knowing what you were being cultivated for."

"If I hadn't just used the Rewind Technique to check your memories, I simply wouldn't have believed it. You didn't even know about cultivating immortality, yet you've almost reached the third level of Qi Refining. I really don't know what to say."

The man was speechless; he had never seen anyone cultivate immortality so haphazardly before! This kid was clearly very clever, but this whole situation left him at a loss for words.

"However, your cheap master is harboring evil intentions! Judging from his appearance, it seems he wants to possess someone else's body."

Ye Qingyang hadn't even recovered from the fact that he was a cultivator when he heard these words.

"Possession?" Ye Qingyang was somewhat confused.

The man could tell from Ye Qingyang's tone that the other party had no common sense, so he sighed and explained.

"Possession is an extremely vicious technique that refers to a cultivator or soul taking over the body of another being through special methods in order to prolong their own life."

"This usually happens when the practitioner's body is severely injured, their lifespan is about to end, or they encounter an insurmountable predicament. The process of possession often involves powerful magic and specific cultivation methods, and is usually accompanied by great risks. After successfully possessing a body, the original body's consciousness will be completely erased, and the possessor's consciousness will completely occupy the new body."

"Because possession involves moral and ethical issues, such as the act of forcibly taking over another person's body, possession is often portrayed as a means adopted by evil practitioners, an extreme way to pursue immortality or resurrection."

"The cultivation technique that Chu Xingyun gave you only reached the sixth level, which means that person's cultivation level is above the sixth level of Qi Refining. However, I deduce from your memories that he should be a true mortal without spiritual roots. As for why he chose you, who has spiritual roots, there is probably someone behind him."

"Because he didn't actually appear in front of me, I can't make any inferences. I can only deduce from your memories that he wanted to possess my body."

"But you're like this, knowing nothing, just like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others."

"But at least he's not stupid enough to be sold out and still be counting money for someone else. It's good that he can sense that something is wrong with him and even practices some self-defense techniques in private."

The man looked at Ye Qingyang, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He gently patted Ye Qingyang's shoulder and smiled, "Kid, keep cultivating diligently. The road ahead is long. Remember, find your belief, stay firm in your thoughts, and you will go further and further on the path of cultivation."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I left you something, so you won't embarrass me like an idiot. It would be a small matter if you lost face, but if you died, that would be terrible!"

After speaking, the man's figure gradually blurred and disappeared into the void.

Ye Qingyang's dream began to shatter, and he seemed to fall into darkness. He slowly closed his eyes, but a golden mark on his forehead emitted light, and the spiritual power supporting the dream flowed into it.

When Ye Qingyang woke up in the morning, he felt that there was something extra in his brain, some basic common sense about cultivating immortality.

Suddenly he felt something in his hand. Looking down, he saw it was the Floating Life Cauldron that he had hidden in the cabinet.

All of this was telling him that this was not a dream, and that he was already a cultivator.

Ye Qingyang gripped the Floating Life Cauldron tightly, a sense of mission welling up within him. He knew the difficulties ahead would be immense, but for the sake of pursuing the truth, for the sake of this uncertain path to immortality, he was resolute. Carrying the Floating Life Cauldron, Ye Qingyang embarked on a new journey.
