The process of fusing with Taotie's soul reminded Wu Qi of the ritual he had witnessed in the depths of Meng Mountains long ago when he and Yan Bugui had first met, during which, a young barbarian girl was fusing with the soul of a water-element serpent.
Amidst the slow ballads and deep incantation of the Oracles, Taotie's soul rose from his fleshly body along with ninety percent of his cultivation base, and gradually fused with Wu Qi's innate Chaotic Divine Soul. But, at this very moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He found that Wu Qi's soul was very strange.
However, before he could roar out the oddity he had discovered, his soul had fused entirely with Wu Qi's. Then, according to the principles of beast soul fusion, a wisp of his sentience entered the deepest part of Wu Qi's soul, where he fell into a deep slumber.
