After I entered the blood pool, the strange ceremony would definitely start again. I felt the blood pool unceasingly churning and swaying, and my body would also sway back and forth along with the blood pool, and a surge of energy would enter the pool, and would continuously wash over my body, causing pain again. Every time this energy collided with my body, my sense of pain would increase by a bit, and I held my breath as I started using the cultivation method of the 'Yin Yang Dao Scripture' to spread the spiritual energy throughout my entire body in order to resist the pain that seeped into my bone marrow.
When I spread my spiritual energy throughout my body, the pain lessened a bit, but it was still very painful. However, if I didn't try to block it, I would probably faint from two or three more of these attacks. I didn't know what would happen next.
Even if I die, I will persist until the very last moment, making a last stand against this kind of power.
Right at this moment, I felt a warm sensation spreading out from my dantian, starting to spread through my eight extraordinary meridians into my entire body, helping me to resist wave after wave of attacks.
That was why I didn't faint from the pain.
I think that the power in my dantian should be the tenth of the cultivation level that my Master taught me through the method of enlightening me, and the power in the top of my head should be the Gui Sha that has been hiding in my body all this time.
Initially, this Gui Sha also wanted to take over my body, but I suppressed it with a Tao technique. However, it always wanted to take the opportunity to expel my consciousness and take over my body.
The surging force became stronger and stronger. The tentacles on my body loosened their grip in an instant and I was pulled out from the pool by an unknown force. At this moment, I was extremely weak, but I didn't faint like my little cousin.
After all, compared to my younger cousin, my physical fitness is at least countless times better. What's more, I'm still a cultivator.
I saw my body floating in the air, the blood in my body was flowing towards the pool of blood. However, this was not my blood. The symbols on my body that were drawn by the hook nose were flashing slightly, giving off a golden light.
I also saw that the hook nose was leading a group of black robed people as they prostrated themselves in front of me. Everyone in the hall was prostrating themselves on the ground with incomparable respect, waiting for the divine moment to come.
Suddenly, a bloody light shot out from the huge cauldron above my head and enveloped me. This is the Soul-Returning Cauldron that they spoke of.
I couldn't tell what it was like to be enveloped by the snow-light from the Spirit Recovering Cauldron. When the blood came to my body, I felt as light as a feather, and all the pain in my body disappeared in an instant.
Even my consciousness blurred for a moment.
Soon after, I saw a bead slowly float out from within that bloody light. This bead was a lot smaller than ping pong ball, but it had a multicolored splendor to it. It revolved around my body.
I think that this pearl should be the real body within the Soul Return Cauldron. Once this pearl enters my body, my consciousness will completely disappear. When thinking about this, I subconsciously wanted to struggle away from the pearl.
However, my body couldn't move at all. I could only watch as the seven-colored pearl came closer and closer to me.
After it circled around me once, it suddenly stopped between my eyebrows and fiercely crashed into them.
When this pillar entered my head, I felt as if my soul had been wrenched out of my body.
In an instant, I fell into a bottomless abyss, sinking all the way down … It seemed endless.
The instant I closed my eyes, I saw the Soul Return Cauldron above my head explode. Fragments smashed into the pool of blood, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the pool.
The hook nose led a group of people to prostrate themselves before me. Afterwards, I felt a sharp pain in my head, and I couldn't hold on any longer. Then, I fainted.
After that, it was as if I had been in an endless darkness, unable to see the light or the end. I could only feel that I was still alive, walking aimlessly.
Then I felt myself falling asleep again. There were three forces in my body, one of them extraordinarily powerful, suppressing the other two forces, but they didn't give up and resisted with all their might.
My body was like a battlefield. Three waves of energy were constantly fighting, causing me to be exhausted. Even my consciousness had become unstable.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, I suddenly felt a chill between my brows and immediately, a piercing pain spread throughout my entire body. I abruptly opened my eyes.
I saw the Gui Sha in the old house. At this moment, he was squatting in front of me and staring at me …
Where am I, dead? Why would a ghost appear here?
After being frightened like that, I couldn't help but move my body backwards, trying my best to stay as far away from Gui Sha as possible.
Because the fear that the Demon Ghost brought to me was really too much. Thinking about everything that happened in that old mansion still made me break out in a cold sweat.
"Don't hide anymore …" "It's not like I can kill you …" Gui Sha gave me a sidelong glance and said with a bit of bitterness.
"You … You... "You … Weren't you in my body? Why are you out now?" I asked in horror.
"Someone chased me out. I'm afraid I'll never be able to enter your body again …" Gui Sha said with a hint of bitterness.
"Who drove you out?" My head felt dizzy and I couldn't react for a while.
"There's a powerful soul living inside your body, and it's a hundred times stronger than me. After he went in, he chased me out. Luckily I ran away fast, or else I would have been devoured …" Gui Sha said again.
At this moment, images flashed through my mind. A huge pool of blood, a cauldron suspended above my head, an aquiline nose and a group of strange men in black robes. I was drawn with runes and thrown into the pool of blood.
I remember now, I was used as a substitute for the cauldron, as my body was taken over by a single consciousness.
