Chapter 531: Chapter 445: Jiang Qiu Becomes the 2nd Clone, Stepping into the Spirit Control Realm

Although the Soul Fusion Technique was somewhat similar to the Hundred Ghosts Dao cultivation method he had used with Snow, it was ultimately different. After all, Jiang Qiu couldn’t practice the Path of the Hundred Demons now.

Theoretically, a person could only follow a single Hundred Ghosts Dao. He had already cultivated to the Half-Step Unity Realm with Snow, so how could he possibly start over and cultivate with the Nine-tailed Fox?

‘Is one soul supposed to bind to two others and then fuse? At the very least, that would require three people to even attempt, right?’

In a way, Jiang Qiu’s soul also contained a part of Snow; they were one. With Snow gone, it was impossible to even research three-person Dao cultivation.

Even though Jiang Qiu could find no trace of Snow, as if she had vanished completely, he still couldn’t start cultivating the Hundred Ghosts Dao anew with the Nine-tailed Fox.

Thus, the Soul Fusion path he chose was actually one of Yin Yang complementation. He would send his yang energy into the Nine-tailed Fox’s body, helping her adjust her cultivation pathways. By cultivating together, they could drastically increase the efficiency of their Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm cultivation.

Such a Cultivation Technique was actually normal in many worlds, even unavoidable—a male and female simply helping each other.

So, Jiang Qiu and the Nine-tailed Fox began their cultivation. Over this period, their cultivation speed was unexpectedly high!

‘This is a little ridiculous,’ Jiang Qiu thought, shocked as he felt the endless stream of Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm pouring into his body. ‘Is the Nine-tailed Fox’s cultivation rate this high? Is it because of her bloodline?’

He actually knew that the Nine-tailed Fox’s cultivation rate was linked to the number of her avatars, but he never considered that rate to be so heaven-defying.

But now, feeling that level of cultivation efficiency for himself, his entire being felt revitalized. Their auras were circulating between them!

HSSSSS—

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm throughout White Mist Forest became like a stream caught in a whirlpool, converging on the cave. As if pulled by an immense suction, it poured into their bodies.

Indeed, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm throughout the entire White Mist was being siphoned away. Even in the deepest parts where the Spirit Fruits grew, branches began to sway, as if nurturing the birth of some incomparable being.

Within Jiang Qiu’s body, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Charm was repeatedly tempered and refined, transforming from sparse to dense before converging. His aura broke through from the Middle Stage of Spiritual Vein Opening to the late stage, and then all the way to the Peak!

The Nine-tailed Fox’s aura also began to soar. In an instant, she started to advance from the One-tailed Tier toward the Two-Tailed Tier. Vaguely, a phantom of the Nine-tailed Fox’s true form emerged from her body, looked down upon Jiang Qiu, and then entered him through their joined palms.

Yes, the most refined Nine-tailed Fox phantom within her began to cross over into Jiang Qiu’s body. This phantom was her own soul, and could also be considered a unique form of her origin.

Back when she refined her first tail, it was this same kind of phantom that had emerged, allowing her to split off a part of her soul for her One-tailed avatar. This was the key to forming a second avatar.

But now, this crucial element was following Jiang Qiu’s meridians and entering his body. All the color drained from the Nine-tailed Fox’s face; she dared not imagine what would happen next.

Based on her current understanding, she might unconsciously try to refine Jiang Qiu into her second avatar. This was beyond her control, as she herself was still in an exploratory phase, having simply followed Jiang Qiu’s cultivation pathways to begin with.

‘Who knew it might try to refine Jiang Qiu into my second avatar!’

She froze, wanting to break free from their current cultivation state, but her palm felt as if it were glued in place, impossible to pull away. Jiang Qiu, however, remained perfectly composed and gestured for her not to struggle. “I’ll handle this.”

To be honest, Jiang Qiu was quite surprised when a part of the Nine-tailed Fox’s soul emerged from her body and slipped into his. He hadn’t expected her to be capable of something like astral projection so early on.

‘Is this a unique racial Talent?’

Despite his awe, he wasn’t particularly afraid of any problems. Even though the Nine-tailed Fox might be trying to refine him into an avatar, that was fundamentally impossible.

‘Refining a member of the Dragon Race into an avatar? That’s practically a blasphemy against the Laws themselves.’

More accurately, the Nine-tailed Fox’s soul had been drawn in by the potent Dragon Race bloodline within him. In other words, her soul wanted to reside within his body to cultivate.

In a sense, Jiang Qiu’s body was being used as a nest for the Nine-tailed Fox’s second avatar. Her cultivation rate would henceforth double, and they would share a connection that transcended space and time.

Yes, from now on, Jiang Qiu could communicate with the Nine-tailed Fox simply by thinking of her. He could directly touch her soul, no external medium required.

As long as they weren’t constrained by some specific restriction, the bond between him and the Nine-tailed Fox would be unbreakable. For Jiang Qiu, this was an incredibly rare stroke of good fortune!

For the Nine-tailed Fox, however, it was a bit of a raw deal. She had been preparing to cultivate her second avatar, but instead, a part of her soul had been fused with Jiang Qiu, whom she had no hope of controlling.

Although her cultivation speed would still be mutually enhanced, she would be missing an offensive asset. In essence, it was like losing an avatar, gaining nothing more than an increase in cultivation speed.
