A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 36

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…”

Sun Ergou knew the general situation of the Mo family mansion.

It was similar to the original timeline.

Mo Juren had five wives, four of whom were still alive. He had three daughters, two of whom were his biological daughters: the eldest, “Mo Yuzhu,” and the youngest, “Mo Caihuan.” He also had an adopted daughter, the daughter of a loyal subordinate. After the subordinate’s death, she was adopted, received the medical skills, and treated as his second daughter, named “Mo Fengwu.”

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

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

Some said the young master was the illegitimate son of Mo Juren, the head of the Mo family.

Others said he was Mo Juren’s long-lost disciple.

There were many speculations.

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

Openly appearing in public wasn’t his style; stealthily hiding in the shadows was.

That night, he used an invisibility spell and quietly scaled the wall into the Mo residence.

Although the Mo residence had martial arts masters—for example, Mo Juren’s fifth wife was a first-rate martial arts expert, a loyal maid who had been part of the first wife’s dowry—she was ultimately just a mortal expert. No matter how sharp her senses, it would be extremely difficult for her to detect the approach of a slightly cautious cultivator. As for

the other sentries, both overt and covert, they were even less likely to detect her.

…

The night was deep and still, the Mo residence was shrouded in darkness.

Only in the depths of the Mo residence, in the room where Mo Juren had once lived, was a yellowish candlelight.

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

“Alas, cultivating immortality is difficult. This single incantation has stumped me for so long, preventing me from mastering it.” From within the quiet room came the boy’s slightly childish voice: “I wonder when I’ll be able to master the fifth level of this technique?”

Closing the book, the boy prepared to go to bed.

But the next moment, his spiritual senses alerted him, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he abruptly turned to look at a tree outside the room.

When his “Heavenly Eye Technique” activated, many things changed in his vision:

“Who’s there?”

A loud shout echoed throughout the Mo residence.

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

It was none other than Han Li.

Han Li had actually been there for quite some time.

Initially, he hadn’t paid any attention to the two figures inside the house. It wasn’t until his keen senses noticed the burly man’s figure and sensed the familiar aura emanating from him that his eyes widened in shock: “Zhang Tie?!”

Indeed, the towering giant was none other than his friend and senior brother from the Seven Mysteries Sect: Zhang Tie.

But that alone wouldn’t have been so surprising.

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, by sheer coincidence, turned Zhang Tie into a corpse puppet!

This discovery caused him to momentarily reveal his aura in surprise.

It was this momentary leak that alerted the boy inside the room to his presence.

“It can’t be such a coincidence…”

“Zhang Tie again, a corpse puppet, and conveniently located in the Mo family mansion…”

“This person…”

“It’s either Mo Juren, who successfully possessed someone, or Yu Zitong!”   Yu Zitong

couldn’t achieve the level of acceptance and even full protection from everyone in the Mo family.   Because possession doesn’t mean accepting the other person’s memories.   At most, one can obtain some fragments of memories.   But if it were just fragments, 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, a mortal, successfully possessed someone?   Can a mortal possess a cultivator?   The answer is: Yes!   Absolutely!   …   The three ironclad rules of possession.

First, cultivators cannot possess mortals; otherwise, the possessed body will collapse due to the inability to withstand the act.

Second, only those with higher magical power can possess those with lower magical power without suffering backlash. The greater the difference, the higher the success rate.

Third, a cultivator can only possess 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, these rules are completely ineffective. Some true spirits divide their primordial spirit into 100,000 parts, creating 100,000 separate souls for possession, potentially possessing 100,000 beings. The so-called ironclad rules of possession are meaningless in the face of such beings.

Moreover, neither the spiritual realm nor the mortal realm has any rule prohibiting mortals from possessing cultivators!

As long as a mortal possesses the magical power of a cultivator, they can possess a cultivator with lower magical power!

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

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

The temporary magical power gained by the transformed essence of the mortal martial arts master, Doctor Mo, was comparable to that of a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Thus,

he possessed magical power

and a target for possession.

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

As for the threat from Yu Zitong?

With Doctor Mo’s wisdom, surely he had considered a way to deal with it?

It was precisely because he had thought of so much in a flash, and was shocked, that he revealed his aura, which allowed the little ghost inside the house to discover him and even shout, thus warning the entire Mo family.

“Interesting, interesting…”

“You actually succeeded?”

“This is truly…”

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

“It’s you, Han Li? How is this 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 day and clearly recognized Han Li’s appearance. Therefore, his surprise 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 then, realizing something, he immediately abandoned any hope:

“Good, good, good, good feigned death, good escape, even I was fooled…!”

“Such cunning and scheming at such a young age, I underestimated you.”

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

His deep cunning was one aspect.

Secondly, he hadn’t taught this boy any immortal techniques to prevent backlash. Yet, the boy had still grown, and now he was unfathomable, his cultivation beyond his comprehension.

This was very strange.

Extraordinary.

You must understand, 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 much greater, only then could his Heavenly Eye Technique not see through him. Or perhaps, this boy had cultivated a more advanced technique for concealing his aura?

But the question is:

where did he learn that?

He hadn’t taught him 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 good for you to let a group of mortals participate in the battles between us cultivators. I’m afraid that if I accidentally injure someone here, it won’t be me who will feel the pain.”

Han Li threatened with narrowed eyes, which was also a test.

In just a dozen breaths, the surroundings were surrounded by countless mortal martial artists, layer upon layer.

The newcomers were of all ages, with women being the majority.

Leading them were four beautiful women.

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

Those approaching from the perimeter were the Mo family’s overt and covert sentries.

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

Then, Doctor Mo spoke in a deep voice:

“You…all of you, step back!”
