Xia Chen was startled. He was indeed curious about this. However, at that time, he focused all his attention on subduing the cursed spirit, and did not have time to check the strange behavior of the Great Smoke Yuanshen.
Cheng Dayan didn't wait for his answer, and then said: "When you were exorcising the curse for me, you once asked me if I was a master. In fact, I can say that I am a master, but I am not really a master. And the reason why I am
Being cursed also has something to do with the Master."
Xia Chen was surprised when he heard this and couldn't help asking: "Why is this?"
"This has something to do with the secret technique I practice." Cheng Dayan's face was slightly complicated, as if he was reminiscing, "This secret technique is a magical power passed down from my family, called fusion, but apart from the ancestors who created this magic technique and me,
, since ancient times, no one has perfected it. In fact, it is me, who only managed to reach the level of Part 1, and I am a dabbler."
"Fusion..." Xia Chen pondered. This magical technique sounds ordinary, but it is very strange that a small true immortal like Cheng Dayan can withstand the erosion of the cursed spirit for nearly a hundred years.
Cheng Dayan added: "Master may not quite understand that fusion is an immortal technique that completely affects the soul. It cannot be used to attack or defend. It is not an auxiliary magical technique. Its only function is to seize the body."
"Seize the body?" Xia Chen's expression changed. The magic that involves seizing the body are all extremely mysterious. It seems that this fusion should not be underestimated.
When he first entered the underworld, he succeeded in taking away the body of Jiuyou Ming Lord. The process was extremely thrilling. If you don't pay attention, your body and soul may be destroyed.
Cheng Dayan nodded: "Yes, but fusion is not what we usually understand as body seizing. Its biggest function is to fuse the other party's spirit and absorb the other party's power, spirit, memory and intelligence. In a word
If you say that, except for the other party's consciousness, everything else can be fused. After the fusion, except for the other party's consciousness, everything else will become yours."
What! Xia Chen was extremely shocked. If what Cheng Dayan said was true, then this fusion magic was simply unbelievable!
Seizing the body only destroys the opponent's soul and replaces it with one's own. The whole process does not add anything, but consumes a huge amount of power. It is even common for the body to be incapable of adapting to the body, resulting in a decline in cultivation.
If the immortals are not desperate, they will rarely seize the body, because the body taken away is not as good as buying one or reshaping a body. If the other party's body contains unique traces of law, then seize the body.
It's completely useless and can't even be used.
Extracting complete memories is another way to seize the body. Because the memory contains all the secrets of the other party, including cultivation inheritance, experience and insights, etc. Once extracted, there are many benefits.
However, it is extremely difficult to extract complete memories. Even if the realm of cultivation is much higher, as long as the opponent holds the Yuan and keeps one's mind tight, they will not be able to succeed. In the end, most of them can only get some memory fragments, which are of little use.
Not everyone can be like Xia Chen, possessing the Thousand Shadows and Illusion Dao, and practicing to such an extent that he can completely extract the opponent's memory.
But even so, Xia Chen could only extract the complete memory, but he was far from being able to fuse the other party's soul. In addition to abandoning the other party's consciousness, he could turn everything about the other party into his own.
This is simply unimaginable.
He looked at Cheng Dayan suspiciously, wanting to ask if this was true or not. According to common sense, such magic should not exist.
Cheng Dayan understood what he meant, nodded and said: "Master, you understand correctly. Fusion of Immortal Technique means that in addition to discarding the other person's consciousness, everything about him becomes his own, including cultivation and
memory."
Xia Chen murmured: "If this is true, then as long as you continue to integrate other people's souls, there will be no need to practice. The advancement speed will be thousands of times faster than others, and it is not impossible to even advance to Tianjun.
.”
"It's like this." Cheng Dayan said, "Master should be able to see that although I am in the late stage of True Immortal, my talent is actually very average, no, it should even be said to be very poor. In fact, I can hardly even break through to True Immortal.
, everything has come along the way thanks to integration.”
"Did you rely on fusion to become a true immortal?" Xia Chen opened his mouth wide.
"Yes, it turns out that I am just an eighth-level magical monk." Cheng Dayan said, "This is the limit of my talent. It is impossible to break through if I practice further. If nothing happens, I will die in a few hundred years.
But after practicing the first chapter of fusion, I relied on integrating other monks along the way, first breaking through the ninth level of magical power, and then breaking through to the true immortal."
"But to become a true immortal, you need to face a catastrophe. How did you survive without real training?" Xia Chen felt incredible.
"I fused the souls of dozens of monks at the ninth level of magical power, enough to withstand the catastrophe, and I became a true immortal in this way." Cheng Dayan said with a big smile.
Xia Chen was speechless. This kind of cheating method was almost as good as the cornucopia. This big smoke was really lucky.
"Master, don't worry, I didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. The souls I fused were all enemies I encountered in the world who were plotting against me. Of course, it is not easy to use fusion, but as long as you get stronger and stronger,
It’s not that difficult after all.” Cheng Dayan added.
Xia Chen nodded. He could see that Cheng Dayan was just like him. Although he was not very kind, he had his own bottom line in his actions, otherwise he would not have saved this kid in the first place.
Cheng Dayan sighed: "It's a pity that after I broke through to the True Immortal, I got confused and thought that I could be proud of the world by relying on fusion. Although the Three Realms are big, I can't go anywhere. But when I broke through to the late stage of the True Immortal, I was so bold.
To fuse the soul of a dying master."
Xia Chen's heart moved: "No wonder, I discovered the Taoist pattern in your soul that can only be found in the realm of the Master. I thought you were once a Master and were knocked down from the realm."
Cheng Dayan smiled bitterly: "To be honest with the master, I did successfully fuse the master's soul, but when the master's consciousness died, he issued a curse with the power of life... As a result, I became
He looked like a human being and a ghost."
Xia Chen suddenly realized: "It turns out that the reason why you have endured until now is because of the support of the Master's huge soul, so the curse did not completely weaken you."
Cheng Dayan nodded: "Yes, after I was cursed, I quickly lost my ability to move. When I was dying, I was picked up by a slave trading organization and transported to No. 1 City at the junction of immortality and underworld.
I was sold as a slave, but no one was willing to buy me, a dying person, until I met you."
Xia Chen said: "Actually, I didn't want to buy you, but at that time I really didn't have the immortal body to seize the body, so I had to make do with it. I didn't have any good intentions for you at that time."
Cheng Dayan shook his head and said: "No, master, I have always been very clear-headed. You saw that I was still breathing, so you didn't take away my body. This is already a great kindness. Otherwise, you only need one finger to make me completely
If I die, how can I live to this day?"
Xia Chen thought to himself that I just planned to wait for you to die naturally before seizing your body. Even this became a kind intention. This shows how morally corrupted the world is and how evil people's hearts are.
Cheng Dayan said: "But at that time, I thought you were just kind-hearted, so I didn't say anything. I thought that I was your slave on both sides, and I would not be able to escape death in the end. But now that you have saved my life, I still don't say anything."
You want to repay you, but you let Da Yan see clearly what you are like. If I just walk away and don't repay your kindness, will I still be considered a human being if I become Da Yan?"
Only then did Xia Chen realize why he went and came back twice. He spent a long time here to examine his character. This guy is quite thoughtful, so he said: "Actually, I am just a little kinder to you.
Neither are others. Walking in the fairy world, there are no truly good people."
Cheng Dayan shook his head and said: "I don't care what you look like in the eyes of others, but in my eyes, you are my master and my benefactor. I have nothing to repay you. Only this fusion magic is indeed very wonderful.
The master will definitely be able to use it."
"You want to pass on the magic of fusion to me? How can this be done?" Xia Chen was stunned. This magic is so important and must be a secret that is not passed down to a family. How could he have the nerve to ask for it.
"Why not?" Cheng Dayan said, "Although I don't have much contact with you, I can see that you are in a lot of troubles. If you practice fusion, I can definitely help you."
Xia Chen was silent. He did have a lot of troubles. The most important thing was that he was sensitively aware that if he practiced fusion, he would have found a way to take back the monk world.
As long as Ye Fatian's soul is fused, everything about Ye Fatian will belong to him, and the world of monks will not collapse because of this.
Is there a better way to get the best of both worlds?
Cheng Dayan is not to repay a favor, but to provide help in times of need!
"Master, you definitely need to integrate immortal arts, and with your peerless genius, you will definitely be able to practice it successfully." Cheng Dayan observed his words and said with relief.
He reached out and touched his temple, his mind moved slightly, and after a moment, he pulled out a small memory crystal and handed it to Xia Chen.
Xia Chen was silent for a while, and finally reached out to take it: "Thank you, Da Yan."
He is not a pretentious person, and he really needs this important magic, so he is no longer polite.
"You are my master and I am your slave. How can I thank you? If you like my rags, I still want to thank you." Cheng Dayan said.
"Da Yan, you have helped me a lot. I have a very important matter that I need to practice fusion to solve." Xia Chen said with emotion.
"I haven't finished helping you yet. Master, I only gave you the first part of the fusion, and the second part is at my house, so you have to come with me and learn this magical technique completely."
Da Yan shook his head and said.
Xia Chen was startled, and then he remembered that what Cheng Dayan had learned was only the first part of fusion. But in just the first part, he had transformed from an eighth-level magical monk to a true immortal today. If he had learned it completely, he would have
