Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1676 - 1040: The Final Step

Chapter 1676: Chapter 1040: The Final Step

Or perhaps, at the moment when the Blood Demon Sword Lord was about to seize another’s body, something happened that prevented the transfer from proceeding.

Instead, only some treasures from his body were left behind, forcing him to create a Divinity Transformation Inheritance to await resurrection in the future?

These two scenarios.

Are indeed possible.

After all.

If He Song were the Blood Demon Sword Lord, when his lifespan was about to reach its limit, he probably wouldn’t dare to seize another’s body within a Demon Path Sacred Land.

Because the reason why the Blood Demon Sword Lord could command the entire Soul Locking Sect and become its Sect Leader.

Ultimately, isn’t it because his cultivation reached the Divinity Transformation Realm?

Only with cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Realm could he suppress the many ambitious individuals within the Soul Locking Sect.

Moreover, the Blood Demon Sword Lord, having led the Soul Locking Sect for many years, might have invisibly made many enemies.

These enemies might not challenge him while he is at his peak strength.

But once his strength drops from the Divinity Transformation Realm.

If he temporarily becomes a weak demon cultivator below the Nascent Soul level.

Even if he had prepared numerous contingencies in advance.

He probably couldn’t ensure he could return to his peak.

After all, assassinating a Divinity Transformation Cultivator is no easy task.

But if the person seized by the Blood Demon Sword Lord was only at the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, or even the Golden Elixir Stage?

Cultivators of such levels are as easily wiped out by the numerous Nascent Soul Perfect Cultivators within the Soul Locking Sect as flipping a hand.

Even those contingencies left by the Blood Demon Sword Lord during his time at the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Actually, might not guarantee absolute loyalty either.

For a temporarily weak cultivator.

If he can’t guarantee absolute loyalty, then it amounts to absolute disloyalty.

In this calculation.

How could one survive amid a group of Nascent Soul demon cultivators with just one’s own power?

By then.

Let alone returning to the peak.

Even preserving one’s life would be a huge issue.

And this.

Might be the reason the Blood Demon Sword Lord did not choose to live a second life within the Soul Locking Sect back then.

Although the Soul Locking Sect is a Holy Land, fundamentally it’s still a demonic sect.

It upholds the rule of might makes right.

Whoever is stronger wields more influence.

Once someone weakens.

They naturally become a prize in the eyes of others.

Divinity Transformation?

So what if it’s Divinity Transformation?

After body-seizing, relying solely on your Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, and Golden Elixir Stage, at most the Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.

Could you survive in the eyes of numerous predatory Nascent Soul demon cultivators?

The chances.

Even if this cultivator wasn’t of high cultivation, having reached Divinity Transformation in life.

There is a great chance he might still meet an unexpected end.

After all, there may be few poisons that can bring down a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

But if it’s merely to bring down a cultivator of the Qi Refining stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, or Golden Elixir and at most Nascent Soul Stage.

Some rare poisons could indeed accomplish this.

Some rare poisons could cause a Nascent Soul cultivator to fall within a short time.

And as demon cultivators, the Nascent Soul demons in the Soul Locking Sect, who doesn’t carry some poison?

Thus, for the Blood Demon Sword Lord.

To venture into body-seizing within the Soul Locking Sect, even if the seized person is at the Nascent Soul Realm.

It would still be a highly risky choice.

Not to mention.

The body desired by a Divinity Transformation cultivator like the Blood Demon Sword Lord is likely to possess Heavenly Spirit Roots.

And a cultivator with Heavenly Spirit Roots, even in the Deity Transforming Holy Land, the Soul Locking Sect can’t recruit just by wishing.

They generally have to wait for many years before luckily obtaining one.

Thus, if the Blood Demon Sword Lord set his sights on a Heavenly Spirit Roots cultivator, it would naturally attract attention from others in the Soul Locking Sect.

And by that time...

If the Blood Demon Sword Lord truly seizes his body, he would be stepping into a situation surrounded by enemies.

Anyway.

If He Song were in the Blood Demon Sword Lord’s place.

He Song would absolutely not attempt a second life within the Soul Locking Sect.

He Song would prepare sufficient resources to elevate himself to the Divinity Transformation Realm and personally seek a Heavenly Spirit Roots cultivator in the outside world.

And bring him to the Hidden Mansion he prepared in advance.

Under the cover of Divinity Transformation Arrays, he would conduct the body-seizing.

Afterwards.

He Song could naturally, through his prior preparations, quickly restore himself to peak condition.

Of course.

Even if He Song did so.

There might still be unexpected incidents during the process of seizing the body.

And this brings us to the second possibility.

When the Blood Demon Sword Lord was attempting to seize the Heavenly Spirit Roots cultivator, since he wasn’t as cautious as He Song.

Thus, his cultivation had long fallen into the eyes of other cultivators in the Soul Locking Sect.

Or it might even have caught the eyes of other forces.

And while the Blood Demon Sword Lord, unaware, was seizing the Heavenly Spirit Roots cultivator.

Those Soul Locking Sect cultivators or cultivators from other forces all took action, planning to strike at the Blood Demon Sword Lord in his weakest moment and slay him.

And if among those attacking cultivators, there were one or two Divinity Transformation cultivators...

The possibility that the Blood Demon Sword Lord was severely injured on the spot, ultimately escaping with his remnant soul, two Taoist Artifacts, and some other treasures, is not impossible.
