The Art of Fusing with Ghosts is a secret technique created by the founder of the Ghost Lamp Buddha Body.

The effect is just like its name suggests: it merges ghosts together.

However, the conditions for mastering this secret technique are extremely demanding.

First, you need to subdue at least ten ghosts with your own body.

Then, it requires the cultivator to use their body as a cage, transforming the ghosts into Gu worms, letting them fight each other within their body until they nurture even more powerful ghosts.

Finally, suppress the ghosts you raised to strengthen yourself, and if necessary, release them to attack your opponents.

During this process, not only does the erosion of the soul by the ghosts become more severe, but if one is not careful, one can easily be devoured by the ghosts they have raised, and completely lose control of the body.

This kind of situation is also called "possession by a ghost" by the founder of this secret technique.

Because the conditions are harsh and the cultivation is difficult, since its inception, only the founder of Ghost Lantern Temple has successfully cultivated this method.

Unexpectedly, Jingchan also successfully achieved enlightenment.

It has even been improved!

According to the technique of merging demons recorded in Kongo-ji Temple, after a demon king is raised, the other demons will naturally disappear. However, the situation of Jingchan is obviously different.

Moreover, generally only one Ghost King exists after its birth, and each one will develop a certain level of intelligence.

But right now there are not only two ghosts, a dragon ghost and a humanoid ghost, but they both look dazed and don't seem to have any intelligence.

"Nephew, this is the method I, your uncle, created after spending more than ten years combining the 'Ghost Lamp Buddha Body' and the 'Ghost Fusion Technique'..."

"Hozuki's Dragon Subduing Technique!!"

Jing Chan, who was as thin as a rake and had blood-red eyes, had a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth and spoke with an air of arrogance.

Limited by the cultivation method, those who cultivate step by step will never be able to break through to the seventh level in their lifetime.

For most people at Hozukiji Temple, this is not a drawback.

After all, those who can cultivate to the sixth level are extremely rare.

But Jingchan was different. He was exceptionally intelligent and cultivated to the sixth level early on. He even raised the upper limit of the "Ghost Lamp Buddha Body" to a level comparable to that of a dragon.

He even used the Ghost Fusion Technique to create a humanoid ghost king and single-handedly killed a mid-stage sixth-tier dragon.

At this point, he was already an almost invincible being among the sixth-tier beings.

Looking at the entire Liangzhou region, and even the Great Jing Dynasty, he believed that no sixth-level martial artist could defeat him.

However, this only applies to the sixth order.

Even when facing a seventh-level True Qi Realm martial artist, Jing Chan was still outmatched.

Unwilling to give up, he wanted to go even further!

Unfortunately, he had already reached the sixth level of perfection, and it was no longer possible for him to change his cultivation.

So he began to try to revise "The Body of the Ghost Lamp Buddha" in an attempt to go further, but alas, he had reached the end of the road.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Through continuous efforts and attempts, he finally found a new path and a way to break through.

For an ordinary sixth-level martial artist to break through to the seventh level, they need to connect the major acupoints in their body, using their body as a furnace and their essence as fuel, to transform their true qi and forge it into a heavier and more powerful qi.

Because the "Ghost Lamp Buddha Body" does not emphasize true qi, and its various acupoints have been transformed into acupoints for absorbing ghosts, it is impossible to refine true qi.

Since the path of true qi is blocked, then let's try another path of meditation.

Breaking through the seventh level with his physical body, he directly confronted the true energy!

The method is simple: use more and stronger ghosts to forge an even tougher and stronger body!

However, the ghosts suppressed by the "Ghost Lamp Buddha Body" appear to be patterns and are suppressed in various parts of the body, but in reality, they are all located in the internal acupoints.

The number and volume of a person's acupoints are limited, so the number of ghosts that can be accommodated is naturally limited as well.

Even with Jingchan's astonishing willpower, enduring torment, suppressing hundreds of ghosts, and cultivating a perfected sixth-order humanoid ghost king, he still could not contend with a seventh-order martial artist.

So, he spent several years fine-tuning the Ghost Fusion Technique, erasing the intelligence of the Ghost King within him, and breaking it apart, thus breaking the ironclad rule that Ghost Kings cannot coexist, and forcibly nurtured a second Ghost King—the Flood Dragon Ghost.

Unfortunately, the Flood Dragon Ghost King's strength is currently limited, only reaching the late stage of the sixth rank.

If the Flood Dragon Ghost King reaches the sixth level of perfection, and there is also a sixth-level perfected humanoid ghost king, Jing Chan is confident that he can reach the threshold of a seventh-level martial artist.

The only way to quickly cultivate ghosts is to continue suppressing them and feed them to the Flood Dragon Ghost King.

The birth of ghosts is rare enough, let alone powerful ones.

Jingchan didn't have any good solutions to this, so he could only cast a wide net and wait it out.

Until one day, he unexpectedly obtained a method for raising ghosts from the Six Doors.

This method requires artificially creating a special yin-nourishing environment, in which living creatures, preferably those with high intelligence and strength, are kept.

Then, he would be given a special medicinal soup at regular intervals, and his vital essence would be extracted by a fake magic weapon.

Finally, at the moment when its essence dissipates, there is a very high probability that a man-made ghost will be born.

The stronger a living being is in life, the stronger the ghost it is born from after death.

Initially, Jingchan relied on connections to buy people from Medicine King Valley who were half-dead after testing medicines, in order to refine ghosts.

However, these people were weak, so the ghosts they created were naturally not strong either.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the Six Doors, he joined the Six Doors in exchange for joining them in a night raid on Ge Feiwu and his group, who were guarding Qingluo Mountain and Shunyuan River.

He was then imprisoned in the underground Yin-Nourishing Prison.

Within a month, three fifth-tier ghost creatures were born.

This allowed the Ghost Dragon to successfully break through to the late stage of the sixth rank.

After tasting success, Jing Chan once again targeted Fu Yu, who came to investigate.

They locked him up in the Yin-Nourishing Prison.

This is why he rejected Mingjing and refused to go with him.

He had secretly allied himself with the Six Doors and killed many of the Demon Slayers, and there were two dying Demon Slayers imprisoned in the jail.

If this happens, death is certain.

Even with the Six Doors standing behind him, he couldn't escape death!

Therefore, he could only gamble—gamble that he wouldn't be discovered, gamble that he could successfully break through to the seventh rank, and gamble that he had a long future ahead of him!

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that while he had kept it a secret from the Demon Slayer Division, his early dealings with Medicine King Valley would attract the attention of the Vajra Temple.

"Nephew, do you still want to continue playing with me?"

Jingchan looked at the bright mirror.

Controlling two ghost kings simultaneously, despite his exceptional combat power, was an immense burden for him.

Although he diminished the Ghost King's intelligence and scattered it, thus eliminating the harm of soul torment in his normal state, the Ghost King, now devoid of intelligence, required his personal control.

Multitasking is difficult enough, but to make matters worse is having a powerful opponent who is also skilled in Buddhist martial arts for suppressing ghosts.

The mental pressure would be immense if a fight broke out.

If possible, Jingchan doesn't want to continue fighting with Mingjing.

Mingjing remained silent for a while.

If there is only one Ghost King, he can barely put up a fight in his burst state.

However, if he were to face two at the same time, plus Jingchan himself, even though he practiced Buddhist martial arts that could subdue ghosts, it would still be extremely difficult.

He was trying to persuade people, and it was impossible for him to actually fight Jingchan to the death.

"Uncle-Master, I..."

Just as Mingjing was about to say something, a sound suddenly broke through the air.

To his astonishment, a dark figure wielding a long mace rushed toward Jingchan from afar.

The visitor was none other than Mu Yang!
