These past few years, he had set up an incantation inside his Holy Mountain, eroding the bodies of everyone who entered his Holy Mountain to cultivate, and it gradually became even more compatible with him.
Once the bodies of those who had entered the sect had been altered, he would use the strange methods he gained ten thousand years ago to take over the bodies of those who came after him, which was also known as Possession.
In the Nine-Heaven World, this kind of technique was considered a forbidden technique. It gave up one's own body, occupied the bodies of others, and achieved the effect of extending one's life.
However, although this method could extend one's lifespan, there was a huge price to pay because although the physical body could be replaced, the soul was the only one.
Therefore, although the Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family had used this evil method to live for more than ten thousand years, his soul still could not break through the limits of what he should have.
Just as Xiao Yu had said to him before, bodies and souls were closely related. Although Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family had obtained a young body which could allow him to survive, his soul was still too weak.
This was also why this place was filled with dense Yin Qi, and even had an aura of death. Strictly speaking, even though the Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family possessed the bodies of others, they were already half dead.
In these ten thousand years, in the Xiao Family, there are at least dozens of people who have been chosen by me as my new body to extend my life. Although those bodies are all very young, they are not truly one with my soul, so every time I possess a body, I cannot live for too long. At the most, I have to change my actual body after two or three hundred years.
Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family's face was extremely pale. He did not hide anything from Xiao Yu, as his explanation of how he managed to survive these ten thousand years was extremely detailed, and also caused the bad feeling in Xiao Yu's heart to grow stronger.
As the ancestor of the Xiao Family, this person seized the flesh of all the previous generations of the Xiao Family just to prolong his life. This person was simply insane.
Most likely, in his eyes, the lives of Xiao Family's descendants were all worthless. Only he himself could survive and that was the most important thing.
Even though he had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had seen too much cold and warmth in his previous life, Xiao Yu still felt a chill in his heart when facing this kind of person who did not even care about his own blood relatives.
"In other words, the so called Holy Mountain was arranged by you in order to find a suitable successor to extend your life?" Even though he did not have a good impression of the people from Xiao Family, knowing these things, Xiao Yu still felt sorrowful for them from the bottom of his heart.
Every single person in the Xiao Family were regarded as divine Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family, but they only treated those later generations of the Xiao Family as fleshly bodies that were meant to extend his life, which was simply cold-blooded.
"Not really." The Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family said with a pale smile, "In fact, the existence of Holy Mountain is equally important to the entire Xiao Family, or even to me!"
This Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family who had a young body seemed to not plan to hide anything from Xiao Yu. The smile on his face was extremely demonic, as if he was talking about the most ordinary of things.
"Within the Holy Mountain, there exists a powerful force. I can sense that the powers within the ninety-nine mountains are of the same origin, so I think that the powers within these ninety-nine mountains are most likely a single entity!"
"Ten thousand years ago, I was the first to enter the Holy Mountain, and was also the first to discover the mysterious power within the mountains. Therefore, my guess is that if you can obtain this complete power, then it is very likely that you will be able to become unrivalled in this world. You have entered the Holy Mountain, so you should be able to understand the terror of these powers! "
Xiao Yu listened to what the Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family said quietly with a calm expression, but his heart was slightly moved.
It sounded like even Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family who had lived for ten thousand years didn't know that the energy within the Holy Mountain was the origin energy of the Kun Peng; they only knew that it would bring great benefits to others.
"The reason why I set the curse in the Holy Mountain is for two reasons. The first is that those who can enter the Holy Mountain have extraordinary talent, and the physical bodies of these people are capable of allowing me to survive for a longer time, so they are more suitable for me. As for the second reason, it is because I hope that among these descendants, there will be a person who can obtain the complete power of the Holy Mountain! "
As he spoke till here, the Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family's pale face revealed a helpless expression, and continued: "Ten thousand years ago, I was the first to enter the Holy Mountain. At that time, I used all sorts of methods, but in the end, I didn't even manage to reach the ninetieth mountain.
"For this reason, I can only place this hope on my descendants. Furthermore, I have a feeling that among these descendants, if someone were to obtain the complete power of the mountain, not only would that person grow to become the supreme expert of this world, his physical body will also be able to restore my life force to that of ten thousand years ago. "
"In other words, as long as this person appears, I don't need to continue sleeping. In fact, after I obtain this body, my strength will be even stronger than it was ten thousand years ago, and I will reach a whole new height. After I obtain this body, my regret from ten thousand years ago will be made up in this life!"
Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family said. He was calm at first, but after he said that, his eyes revealed a hint of madness. His eyes became like two flames as he stared at Xiao Yu.
"So that's why you didn't care about my identity as the Unfilial Son earlier and sent Xiao Xingyu to the Luoyun Prefecture to find me and send me back? So now, I have obtained the complete power from the Holy Mountain, and you summoned me here, just so that you could possess my body and use me as your next sacrifice? "
With things having progressed to this point, how could Xiao Yu not understand this Holy Ancestor's intentions? This Holy Ancestor had done so much just for this purpose of seizing his body!
Xiao Yu believed that not a second person in the entire Xiao Family knew about what this Holy Ancestor was saying. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Xiao Family to continue treating this Holy Ancestor as a divine existence.
After talking to him for so long, it was obvious that in the eyes of this Holy Ancestor, he was already a dead man, because the next body that the Holy Ancestor wanted to possess was him!
"In fact, I originally did not hold much hope that you would be able to obtain the power within the Holy Mountain. Bringing you back to the Xiao Family was merely a temporary thought."
Against Xiao Yu's expectations, he had originally thought that Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family was the plan he had in mind from the very beginning. However, Holy Ancestor of Xiao Family's words seemed to also mean that things weren't that simple.
