Thought Possession, the Consciousness Demon Body
Thought Possession is a very strange experience.
The moment Bai Qiuran initiated the Thought Possession, he could no longer perceive his own body and Souls.
The surging True Essence and powerful physique within his body had all left him; Bai Qiuran was now left with only his "thoughts," yet he could not perceive anything else.
However, the next moment, he arrived at another place. His "thoughts" gradually came into contact with and connected with something strange. He gradually gained some perception, just like the feeling when his Nascent Soul leaves his body.
However, at this moment, Bai Qiuran sensed another "thought" not far from him.
Unexpectedly, the idea was extremely chaotic and weak, clearly having only recently taken shape. So Bai Qiuran focused her mind and, following the description in the Cultivation Technique, easily dispelled the idea.
He successfully possessed this Souls, or rather, this "physical body" entirely formed from Divine Power.
Opening her eyes, Bai Qiuran was startled to see several overlapping white Eagle Head right in front of her.
He blinked, Eagle Head in his vision blinked along with him. Only then did he realize that the Eagle Head was now part of his "body".
Bai Qiuran tried to control both sides of her head, aligning the left Eagle Head with the left side and the right Eagle Head with the right side, before her vision returned to normal.
Moreover, Bai Qiuran discovered that his perspective had become quite strange. He could see things on his left and right sides, with three different perspectives. The Eagle Head in the middle could see both sides at the same time, while the right eye of the left head and the left eye of the right head could see things in front of him.
Moreover, when he looked down, he noticed that the distance between himself and the ground seemed to have increased.
It seems I succeeded.
Bai Qiuran pondered this in her heart, feeling somewhat excited.
At this moment, Bai Qiuran also saw his own body directly in front of him, and Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei guarding his body.
Li Jinyao had drawn her Twin Sabers, and Tang Ruowei had also summoned her Kun Ling Sword, forming a sword incantation. Seeing Bai Qiuran looking over, the two girls cautiously pulled him back a step. Then, Tang Ruowei tentatively asked, "Master?"
Bai Qiuran shook the Eagle Head in the middle and nodded.
He opened his mouth, trying to speak, but only a strange howl came out. It seemed that this Consciousness Demon had Body Seizure by him too early and had not yet fully developed.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Qiuran used the power of this body and the book to extend her finger and draw two characters in mid-air.
"It's me."
Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the handwriting.
"It's definitely your handwriting, senior."
Li Jinyao said, "It seems we succeeded."
With Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei protecting him, Bai Qiuran wasn't in a hurry to go back. He tried out the various abilities of this body.
First of all, as Consciousness Demon born from his will, this Consciousness Demon Body has extremely powerful basic abilities. Although it is a physical body formed entirely from Divine Power, its strength is no less than that of a physical Cultivators in the Body Integration Stage.
Bai Qiuran tried throwing a couple of punches. If he could control this body and combine Moves with his combat skills, defeating Jueyunzi wouldn't be a problem.
Secondly, as Consciousness Demon born from Greed, this body can clearly sense the greed in all living beings. For example, it can clearly see Tang Ruowei's greed for Li Jinyao's figure, as well as Li Jinyao's vague greed for her own body.
What does Jinyao want to do to my physical body?
Bai Qiuran puzzled, and then felt a strange chill run down her spine.
He tried to touch the visible, black smoke-like desires on the two girls' bodies, and upon contact, he suddenly felt a surge of thirst within him.
Then, as if by instinct, he began to absorb the black smoke and grow stronger.
In just a few breaths, Bai Qiuran's body's strength increased by a level, reaching the strength of Tribulation Crossing Stage Cultivators.
"This talent is truly terrifying."
Bai Qiuran secretly alarmed. For Consciousness Demon being, as long as they had enough Desire, their strength could increase in an instant.
He continued to absorb the greed from the two girls. Tang Ruowei ignored him, while Li Jinyao frowned slightly. She seemed to have sensed something, but finally relaxed and let Bai Qiuran do as he pleased.
Absorb, digest, possess...
Bai Qiuran inhaled, he suddenly felt an urge to escape their Souls from their bodies and devour them.
Fortunately, he was resilient and managed to stay calm at the crucial moment, retracting his claws.
"Senior Bai, how are you feeling?"
Li Jinyao asked.
"This body's instincts are a bit hard to control, but you get used to them."
Bai Qiuran extended her claws and used her Divine Power to write in mid-air.
He tried it again, and it seemed that this body could also concentrate all the greed absorbed from Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei to strengthen one place. Bai Qiuran didn't know how he understood this. It was as if this body had naturally taught him these things.
He tried to strengthen the head in the center of his body. After his greed coalesced, his physical body immediately underwent a significant change. The Eagle Head in the center not only became taller and larger, but was also covered with golden patterns, and its pupils seemed to burn with golden flames.
He opened the beak of the eagle's Eagle Head in the middle, and a bolt of deep black Thunder roared out and struck the ground with astonishing power.
"The ability to evolve infinitely with greed is quite impressive."
Bai Qiuran.
"But this isn't a perfect Consciousness Demon Body; let's abandon this one."
Thinking of this, he stretched out his finger and wrote in mid-air to Tang Ruowei and Li Jinyao: "I'm coming back. Protect me."
The two girls nodded and remained by his side, each on guard, while Bai Qiuran faced his original physical body and launched a reverse Thought Possession.
After a period of time that felt both fleeting and eternal, Bai Qiuran's thoughts successfully returned to her physical body.
Are you alright?
Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei came forward to inquire about the situation.
"Fine."
Bai Qiuran clenched her fists, jumped around, and did a set of health exercises. After finding that there was nothing wrong with her body, she answered Li Jinyao and Tang Ruowei.
"Very good."
Both girls breathed a sigh of relief.
They couldn't help but be nervous. First, the act of having one's mind leave one's body was inherently dangerous, as there was always the possibility of being usurped within this Consciousness Domain. Second, Bai Qiuran's body possessed extremely high combat capabilities, like a max-level character. Even if you gave a clueless child a mouse to click around randomly, they could still kill many people with just basic attacks.
"So, the experiment can be considered a success then."
Li Jinyao smiled.
"The first step was a success."
Bai Qiuran nodded, then shook her head.
"Thought Possession the Consciousness Demon and then eliminating the Consciousness Demon is indeed a feasible strategy, but I think there is an even better way."
