Immortal Reincarnation Tribulation

Chapter 280 Spirit Possession Technique

Thinking of this, Du Fan waved his hand and picked up the white skeleton on the ground. Then, he moved and appeared directly in front of the door, pushed it aside, and walked out.

For Du Fan, the Earth Escape Technique was relatively easy; with his innate talent and wisdom, he believed he could master it in two days at most. However, the Spirit Transfer Technique was ever-changing, mysterious, and unpredictable; to master it would take anywhere from ten days to several months.

Moreover, there are risks involved in cultivation, and even he cannot guarantee absolute safety.

Therefore, when practicing this technique, he must choose a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion in order to minimize the risks. Thus, he planned to go to the cave where he had previously secluded himself.

As soon as Du Fan left the bamboo house, he saw a red figure striding towards him. It was Tian Wu.

"Chief, Elder Shen heard that you've returned, so he plans to hold a banquet for you tonight to make up for the celebration banquet that happened a few months ago." Tian Wu said with a smile as she gracefully approached Du Fan. Her voice was clear and melodious.

"I don't have time. You can hold your event as usual. Don't wait for me. Oh, and please toast the brothers for me." Without even thinking, Du Fan refused the woman and quickly walked past her, heading straight for the gate of the village.

"Li Daoming, what do you mean by this?" Upon witnessing this scene, Tian Wu's smile froze for a moment, then her expression darkened, and she angrily whispered.

"I already said, I don't have time." Du Fan paused, turned around to look at the woman, and said with a hint of confusion.

"Is this your explanation?" Tian Wu was speechless for a moment. Then, she narrowed her eyes, slowly clenched her fist, and said, word by word.

"Then what else do you want me to say?" Du Fan shrugged and asked helplessly.

"Li Daoming, as the leader of the village, you often go out and disappear without a trace, and you never care about the affairs of the village. That's fine, it's acceptable for me to handle them on your behalf."

But now, the entire village is holding a celebration banquet for you with good intentions, and you just casually say you don't have time? What do you take us, the more than one hundred brothers of the Green Forest Village, for?

I can tell your heart isn't in Green Forest Village anymore. You must have fallen for some girl and are rushing off to meet her, huh! In a while, I won't even bother with a victory celebration for you; I'll just throw you a wedding banquet!

He always puts on a silly, dim-witted act, but it turns out he's not a good person at all! At first, Boss Tian was all righteous and indignant, but by the end, his words had taken on a sour tone.

Upon hearing this, Du Fan's lips twitched involuntarily, and he immediately fell silent. So, this Boss Tian suspected him of having an affair...

After standing there stunned for a while, Du Fan finally came to his senses, coughed twice, and said with a strange expression, "Tian Wu, are we married?"

"Nonsense, didn't you say a year from now!" Upon hearing Du Fan's nonsensical words, Tian Wu's cheeks flushed slightly. She glared at him fiercely, pouted, and said with a hint of resentment.

"That's settled then. You're no longer anyone to me. I can do whatever I want, and it's none of your business to tell me what to do. If you want to control me, wait until after we're married!"

Du Fan rolled his eyes, left a sentence, and then, without lingering any longer, he moved and immediately used his lightness technique. After a few leaps, he disappeared into the Green Forest Stronghold.

After a slight pause, Tian Wu realized it was too late to give chase. Seeing that this bastard had used the technique she had taught him to escape, she was furious. She trembled with rage, her chest heaving violently, and even her face turned pale.

A moment later, the woman's trembling red lips suddenly parted, and she let out a piercing roar in the direction Du Fan had left: "Li Daoming, you heartless bastard, don't ever come back!"

……

By this time, Du Fan had already left the mountain stronghold some distance away. He didn't hear Boss Tian's furious curses, but he sensed something in his mind and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

At full speed, he appeared in the hidden cave in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Without further hesitation, he immediately sat down cross-legged, patted his storage bag with one hand, and a somewhat tattered paper book flew out. On the cover of this book, the three large characters "Earth Escape Technique" were clearly engraved.

Clearly, Du Fan planned to master the relatively simple "Earth Escape Technique" first, while the profound and mysterious "Spirit Transfer Technique" was put on hold for later.

He had already thoroughly comprehended the art of earth escape; all he needed to do now was to use the earth elemental power of the Earth Source Pearl to cultivate it further.

With a flick of Du Fan's right hand, a beam of earthy yellow light flashed out, revealing the Innate Earth Source Pearl. After its appearance, the pearl hovered in mid-air in front of him.

With a single hand gesture, he suddenly pointed, and an invisible magic spell instantly entered the Earth Source Bead. The bead immediately began to slowly rotate, and at the same time, wisps of inexplicable earth source power emanated from the bead, instantly enveloping an area of ​​several feet in radius.

"The primal power emanating from this Earth Source Pearl far surpasses that of the original Water Source Pearl. The difference between innate formation and acquired refinement is truly immense."

A strange light flashed in Du Fan's eyes. He then took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again a moment later, his eyes were calm, deep and still.

He made hand seals and waved them around, chanting incantations. Judging from his appearance, he had clearly begun practicing the art of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth).

Two days later, Du Fan let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he had already completed the cultivation of Huang Laoguai's Earth Escape Technique.

Instead of trying to verify anything, he flipped his hand and took out a bottle of ginseng essence oil, drank half of the spiritual liquid inside in one gulp, and immediately closed his eyes to begin refining it.

After half a day, Du Fan's body had reached its peak condition. He did not immediately practice the "Spirit Transfer Technique," but instead closed his eyes and carefully searched his memories of the "Spirit Transfer Technique" several times.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he felt that there were no problems, so he closed his eyes, made hand seals, and began to cultivate formally.

Five days later, Du Fan opened his eyes. His expression was solemn, his brows were furrowed, as if he were pondering something. After a while, he shook his head, then closed his eyes again and continued to cultivate.

This time, he cultivated for half a month straight. When he slowly opened his eyes, two pale green lights suddenly appeared in his eyes, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps in the dim cave, which was extremely eerie.

Du Fan remained expressionless. With a wave of his right hand, a beam of white light shot out, and with a whooshing sound, the white skeleton appeared on the ground in front of him.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his left hand, forming a strange hand seal. While chanting incantations, a wisp of green light flashed wildly at the top of his head, then shot out with lightning speed, accurately penetrating the head of the white skeleton on the ground.

At this moment, Du Fan felt a sharp pain in his head, his brows furrowed immediately, and he couldn't help but groan. Then, his blood and qi surged, his face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Du Fan was startled and quickly formed hand seals, rapidly completing the subsequent incantations of the "Spirit Transfer Technique" according to its contents. Only after ten breaths did he slowly exhale a breath of turbid air, and his face finally regained some color.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, and fell on the white skeleton. He said calmly, "Stand up."

Next, a bizarre scene unfolded. The white skeleton, which had been slumped on the ground, suddenly trembled, then slowly raised its head, revealing two faint green flames deep within its eyes.

The skeletal skeleton seemed to twist its neck and move its limbs, and a series of extremely eerie "crackling" sounds rang out, which were truly no exaggeration to be the sound of bones grinding together.

A moment later, the skeletal skeleton's hand bones pressed against the ground, and with a bend and stretch of its leg bones, it shakily struggled to its feet.

The skeleton then took a few steps forward, came to Du Fan, opened its mouth wide, revealing a row of eerie, neat, snow-white teeth, as if it were laughing. However, this laugh was not pleasant at all; instead, it gave people a chilling feeling.

Du Fan smiled slightly at it, seemingly quite satisfied with the skeleton and the spirit possession technique. The soul residing in the skeleton was the cyan orb representing his past life's soul in Du Fan's primordial spirit space.

As his soul and the skeleton became increasingly aligned, Du Fan's control over it became more and more agile.

He even had a strange illusion that every movement of the skeleton, every step, every turn, was as if he himself were doing it. In his mind, the skeleton and his true self were almost inseparable.

He then controlled the skeleton to perform some difficult attack maneuvers, and even fought against the skeleton itself.

The result was even more gratifying for Du Fan. In terms of strength, speed, and physical strength, this skeleton was no less than his own. If he did not use spells or other supernatural abilities, Du Fan's own body would have no way to deal with this skeleton using only his physical body and skills.
