Wizards are always known to be cruel. If it were believed you could possess others to gain talents when you lack them, many dark wizards would do it.
Of course. As she said, they are still doing this from a selfish point of view. If you let out even basic knowledge, then many will find ways to cultivate on their own. It makes sense for them to be secretive, keep even the basic knowledge, and use various "screening methods" to ensure only the ones with dedication and talent will gain said knowledge, allowing themselves to profit.
Meh. It is common in the generic setting that all these wizard novels use. The "Wizard Plane" the MC transmigrates to tends to have two main power systems: Knights and Wizards. Knights have a breathing technique that allows ordinary humans to go from Knight Apprentices to Knights to Grand Knights. The MCs are usually people who have no contact with wizards or other extraordinary powers at the start. Hence, the Knight Path not only introduces them to the uniqueness of the world they are in, but also gives them starting battle power. It is especially useful in their apprentice days when their means (magic power, spells, artifacts, etc.) are more limited, giving a slight advantage over other apprentices. Later, the Knight Path fades into obscurity for numerous reasons: it rarely ever reaches Tier 1, advancing on the Wizard Path also gives boosts to your physical stats, and the MC's means grow to be far more potent than using a sword. This is all to say that you aren't wrong, but rather Chinese authors seem to have a "distinct idea" of what a Wizard World and the power systems within should look like.
Right? Even if it doesn't work, there's also a use of the Sword of Destruction, which is technically divine, which should make it more difficult to resist than the bog-standard demonic Power of Destruction.
[NOTE: I haven't read this yet] I don't think so, because he is a priest. It is iffy depending on the denomination, but priests usually aren't allowed to be married after they are already ordained. Since he is starting as a priest, it is unlikely he will be allowed to do so. As for just "living in sin" by just having a girlfriend and not getting married, I highly doubt the overly cautious priest would be willing to break religious doctrine when he is constantly dealing with demons and other dark entities using power that (likely) comes from God.
I say this half as a joke, but Ocean Song from your other novel would have loved (I use the term loosely) this experience. The experience of losing your power, being forced to contemplate new ways of using the dregs you have left, only to get healed and come back stronger than ever, eventually. That is so common for cultivator MCs that he might feel a little jealous (though his first "Lightning Tribulation" and subsequent trip to the Underworld might barely count).
Is he going to start growing to match beings on those levels of power? Even if he isn't going to grow to match beings like Meridia, as he is increasingly coming into contact with powerful beings (if I remember right, the order was Ophis, fake Solomon, Great Red, and Dormammu), he should work a little harder to climb the ranks.

I'm surprised. That said, I have two questions. First: Was it the same in his past life? He mentioned schoolboy days in a previous chapter, so I was wondering if he was a trans man since then, or reincarnation is wonky and gave him the wrong parts. Second: Would the elusive shapeshifting magic of angels and demons allow him to change his parts (if he gets to learn it and if he so desires it)?
