Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"If you really want to take him away from here, I can try to merge with him."

The voice of the soul beast came from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and then a black smoke floated to Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder and transformed into a strange bird shaped like a crow above his shoulder.

"Your Excellency is serious?"

Hearing the soul beast's words, Zhou Yiqiao was obviously stunned, and then he asked tentatively with great surprise.

Even though he and the soul beast have been living together for hundreds of years, there is still a subtle sense of wariness between the two.

However, at this moment, the soul beast took the initiative to propose to merge with the ghost, which surprised Zhou Yiqiao.

"Humph, since I made this suggestion, I naturally have my considerations."

The soul beast's voice carried a hint of arrogance.

"Although this ghost was just an ordinary person when he was alive, his obsession remains even after his death. If he can merge with me, he will definitely help me to improve my strength even more."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but frown and think.

"But after the fusion, what should you do, Master Zhenzun?"

Zhou Yiqiao’s worries are not unreasonable. As the guardian spirit of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the existence of the soul beast is directly related to the peace of the thousands of souls in the banner.

Once the soul beast and the ghost merge, the stability and power of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner will be greatly affected.

However, the soul beast seemed to have already made plans, and it continued.

"You don't have to worry. After I merge with him, I will still retain my self-awareness, but I will have more of his memories and emotions."

"This will not only satisfy his wish, but also won't affect my control over the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

"Besides..."

The soul beast's voice suddenly became low, with a hint of excitement in it.

"He was just a mortal when he was alive. Even if his obsession was strong, it is impossible for him to have such a strong power after death."

"I guess there must be something strange about how it came to be. Maybe there are some secrets hidden."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Master Zhenzun means that this ghost may be related to some power of the Shadow Alliance?"

"exactly."

The soul beast's voice was full of anticipation.

"After all, this is the core area of ​​the Shadow Alliance. How could we allow an unknown evil spirit to stay here for a long time?"

"If you want to know the secret behind this, merging with him is undoubtedly the most direct method."

The soul beast's reason completely touched Zhou Yiqiao's heart.

The purpose of his trip was to find out the details of the Shadow Alliance. If he could get more clues, he would be able to ask for more rewards from Lin Muzhi after returning to Tianxuan Sect.

"Since Master Zhenzun has already made his decision, Zhou will not say anything more."

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the looming ghost.

"You should have heard our conversation. Do you want to continue?"

The ghost hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded heavily and agreed.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao placed his right palm on the ghost's forehead and practiced qigong and breathing for a while.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, and a powerful spiritual power flowed along his meridians to his right arm and was infused into the ghost's head.

The ghost's body began to tremble slightly under the nourishment of spiritual power, as if it was in pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the ghost shuddered violently, and his originally dark pupils gradually became clear. He slowly raised his head and revealed a pale and stiff smile.

"If you want to merge with Master Zhenzun, I have to take you into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner."

"This process can be extremely painful, so be prepared."

Zhou Yiqiao spoke again, his expression solemn.

A hint of determination flashed in Guimei's eyes, which had barely regained clarity. He nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao no longer hesitated. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. As he spoke, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner once again emitted a faint black light, enveloping him and the ghost.

The ghost's body began to gradually become blurred, as if it was being pulled by an invisible force and rushing towards the interior of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

At the same time, the soul beast jumped up from Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder, let out a sharp cry, then turned into a black light and escaped into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, black fog was swirling, and countless wronged souls and ghosts were screaming miserably.

However, in the boundless black fog, two figures quietly appeared, they were the soul beast and the ghost.

The fusion process that the soul beast refers to is to merge its own spiritual consciousness with that of the ghost, and through the collision of the two equally powerful consciousnesses, achieve a terrifying balance while retaining the consciousness of both parties.

This method is not only extremely painful, but the results are also extremely dangerous.

After the fusion, as long as the consciousness of one party overwhelms the other, it will completely gain the other party's consciousness and memory, and then control the other party's body.

But at this moment, one wanted to fulfill his long-cherished wish, and the other wanted to greatly improve his own strength, so both of them chose this path.

In the black fog, the figures of soul beasts and ghosts gradually merged into one, their spiritual consciousness began to collide violently, and they let out silent roars.

The wronged souls and ghosts around seemed to sense this powerful force fluctuation and they all moved away, not daring to approach.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Outside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, Zhou Yiqiao closed his eyes tightly and formed seals with his hands to maintain connection with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Fine beads of sweat had already seeped out of his forehead, and it was obvious that this process consumed a great deal of his spiritual power.

Fortunately, Zhou Yiqiao had already cultivated his spiritual consciousness to be extremely tenacious through the tempering of various inhuman skills. Although he felt tired at the moment, he could still hold on.

As the fusion of the spiritual consciousness of soul beasts and ghosts gradually deepened, the black mist in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner also began to undergo subtle changes.

The originally violent and chaotic black fog began to slowly rotate and formed a huge vortex.

In the center of the vortex is the figure that is a fusion of soul beast and ghost.

Their bodies kept twisting and deforming, and each was pulled into a shape similar to the yin and yang fish in Tai Chi, spinning rapidly around the vortex in the center.

As the speed of rotation gradually increases, the distance between the soul beast and the ghost is also rapidly closing.

At a certain moment, the two merged into one, and at the same time, a strange force emanated from the center of the vortex.

This power carries the resentment of ghosts and spirits, as well as the majesty of soul beasts. The two are intertwined together to form an unprecedented aura.

This aura quickly spread out, enveloping the entire Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The wronged souls and resentful ghosts that were wreaking havoc in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner suddenly became quiet, as if they were frightened by this aura.

As time passed, the light in the center of the vortex became brighter and brighter, and finally exploded with a loud bang. A figure rushed out from it. It was the fused soul beast and ghost.
