The reason was simple. My body was not truly a Jade Heaven Immortal body, so it accepted power differently from ordinary Jade Heaven Immortals. This was even more pronounced when I used the Ghost Gu tentacles. Thus, by using the Jade Heaven Vein-Pattern Swords to draw in energy, they became plugs.

Then, when I suddenly increased the rate of absorption, the eighty-one disciples were instantly drained dry. One by one, they became skin and bones, and some were sucked completely empty of energy and collapsed limply to the ground!
