This method, similar to empowerment, was unlike the bloodline resonance Little Dragon had taught Nie Yun. It not only caused tremendous harm to the recipient, but also greatly damaged the one imparting the power.
Although the power could be transferred back afterward, the giver could not return to their peak and would inevitably fall in rank.
In other words, Ephemeral Old Man had originally been half a step into the Sky-Repelling Mirror Realm. After this transfer of power, he would most likely drop to the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, or even the late stage of the Immortal Lord realm.
And that was not all. Receiving the power was agonizing, but losing it was even more agonizing. Having possessed such immense strength only to release it and forcibly fall in rank—one careless mistake, and the body could collapse.

In short, this method was exceedingly dangerous. If Nie Yun had not possessed the First Talent and limitless potential, anyone else would likely have been unable to endure it and died during the transfer!
Precisely because of this, although Ephemeral Old Man had long known of this method, he had never found a suitable candidate and thus had been unable to create a Sky-Repelling Mirror Realm expert.
