My Arts Evolve When Perfected

When Jiang Qiu stepped out of the bath, [Snow] was utterly spent, her body flushed pink. Before he could even dress her, she dissolved into warm water that enveloped him, a wondrous sensation washing over his heart.

The moment he stepped into the Peeping Dao Realm, [Snow]’s body had completely transformed into the material for Jiang Qiu’s fourth Jade Sinew. His own power was elevated as well, and it seemed his physical body could now enter a wondrous ethereal state.

However, entering this ethereal state had many restrictions and consumed an immense amount of Soul Energy. If he couldn’t sustain it, he would become severely weakened. But while in this state, most attacks could be nullified.

"This is amazing, Senior Brother." A soft, pleasant voice piped up from the depths of his mind. He could vaguely see [Snow]’s Soul Body soaring and drifting gracefully. "Is this the Peeping Dao Realm?"

After her exhaustion, her Mental Power was instantly replenished, as if she had just soaked in a hot spring. It felt incredibly comfortable and fulfilling.

She could even touch Jiang Qiu’s soul and gaze directly at his lofty Dragon Race bloodline. But she could only manage a single glance before having to look away; the pressure it exuded was too immense to endure for long.

Compared to those powerful Jade Sinews that already possessed the foundation of the Dao Entry Realm, she was just at the Peeping Dao Realm. The gap between them was still far too great.

But, as a soul-type Jade Sinew of the Nether Dark Spirit Charm, she had her own irreplaceable qualities. She could spontaneously absorb vast amounts of Nether Dark Spirit Charm.

’There are also powers hidden in the depths of my soul, powers beyond comprehension, that can be activated. When the time comes, maybe I can even protect Senior Brother...’

"How do you feel now?"

Jiang Qiu clutched his chest with his right hand. It felt as hard as stone. After this fusion, his own body had also transformed—his second Dragon Body transformation!

The last time had been when he awakened the Yangshui Jade Sinews, which was when he broke through to the Peak of Peeping Dao Realm. And now...

_Hiss—_

He blinked, and [Snow]’s naked form once again appeared before him. But this time was different. Dragon Scales had materialized on her body, strategically covering her chest and groin, revealing large swathes of fair skin in between. On her forehead were delicate little Dragon Horns.

Her long, black hair, like a waterfall, drifted with her thoughts. Her beautiful, unclad body floated around him like a fish, her dragon tail swaying like a bolt of white silk gauze.

He could sense it clearly: she shared the same origin as him, was practically a part of him. The only difference was that the soul within was [Snow]’s.

Her power was at the Early Stage of the Peeping Dao Realm.

A rebirth!

"Senior Brother, do I look pretty like this?"

[Snow]’s pale, delicate toes lightly touched the floor, and her weightless body seemed to float down like a piece of fine silk. The mask on her face, which had been blue with a white flower pattern, transformed into a blue Dragon-shaped Mask that gave her a youthful air.

Her scales were a lustrous black-gold, similar to his own Dragon Form. She could probably manifest scales freely over her snow-white skin for protection; her current appearance was simply more pleasing to the eye, not without defense.

Like a Dragon Maiden.

"How did you transform into this?" Staring into her clear Dragon Eyes, Jiang Qiu was lost in a daze for a moment before shaking his head and blinking. "Why does this look so familiar... like I’ve seen it somewhere before..."

’This is strange. I’m certain I’ve never seen or even heard of anyone who looks like a Dragon Maiden. So why does it feel so familiar?’

’Then again, it’s not really her appearance that’s familiar, but a certain aura...’

"I don’t know! I based it on my original Human Race body, but then I thought about how you have Dragon Race bloodline, Senior Brother, so I combined them," [Snow] said with a giggle, twisting her waist. Her unrestrained figure bounced lightly. "I feel like I have a bit of a dragon feel to me now, too. So you really do have Dragon Race bloodline, Senior Brother. No wonder you looked so captivating in that Dragon-shaped Mask!"

Seeing the girl’s lively demeanor, Jiang Qiu sighed softly and patted her on the head. "That’s a story from many years ago..."

At this moment, after his second transformation, he looked to be about eighteen years old. His body was rippling with muscle, without an ounce of fat on his waist. His forearms were so defined it looked as though a light squeeze could crush steel bars.

Standing next to [Snow], he was half a head taller than her. This was the evolution from his second Dragon Body transformation; a body that had already been refined by the World Law of the Yin Yang Great Realm had now advanced even further.

Now that his "My Dao" had broken through to the Peak of Dao Entry Realm, he experienced the unique strength of the Dragon Race. Each transformation brought his physical body to the peak of that realm, making his physical strength terrifying.

However, only the next transformation could potentially elevate him to a higher realm, and the difficulty would increase exponentially. It would be extremely hard.

"[Snow], let’s go see Elder [Bell Fish]. Having cultivated to this extent, we won’t be able to make another breakthrough anytime soon."

With a soft sigh, Jiang Qiu took her delicate fingers and walked toward the door, feeling as if he were leading a flying fish by the hand.

Since their fusion and entry into the Peeping Dao Realm of the Hundred Ghosts Dao, the connection between their souls had reached an unprecedented peak. Their souls were now linked to the point that harm to one would affect the other; they were nearly of the same origin.

Aside from the deepest, most untouchable secrets hidden in their souls, they could share nearly all their memories—though, of course, this still required the other’s consent.

Jiang Qiu effortlessly accessed [Snow]’s surface memories of her ten years in the Yin Yang Great Realm. The first few months had been glorious, but unfortunately, she had been naive and ignorant, understanding nothing. Later, she was abandoned and became Elder [Bell Fish]’s handmaiden, only then gradually gaining a true awareness of her circumstances.

What followed were all sorts of bitter memories. She never had a single good day; her food and belongings were of the worst quality, and she was bullied constantly.

It wasn’t until she met him that her life was turned completely around.

Hand in hand, the two of them headed for [Bell Fish]’s cultivation chamber. Just as they were about to announce their arrival through the Yin Net, the main door creaked open. The cultivation of a Middle Tier Peeping Dao Realm expert instantly poured out without restraint!

"Huh?" [Snow]’s eyes widened. "Elder [Bell Fish], you broke through, too!"

A fierce gale rolled out from within, forcing them both to a halt. Their long hair whipped backward as a frigid Nether Dark Spirit Charm washed over them, making them feel as if they had stepped into an ice cellar.

Before their eyes, the unclothed form of [Bell Fish] was enveloped in a mass of purple-black flowing light, making it seem as if she were still wearing her black robes. The light made her already fair skin appear even more snow-white by contrast.

She opened her eyes. The white cloud patterns on her eerie mask seemed to flow like a vast ocean. Her power had clearly advanced greatly, and her aura was even colder than before. "Are you finished cultivating?"

As she slowly descended from mid-air, the purple-black light around her grew fainter. At some point, an actual black robe had appeared on her body, concealing most of her figure.

But before Jiang Qiu and [Snow] could speak, her pupils suddenly widened. Her icy demeanor shattered in an instant, and her eyes darted back and forth between them. "How... How are you at the Peeping Dao Realm?

What?

The Peeping Dao Realm?

And [Snow]... after undergoing a body fusion, she can still appear in such a complete form?

How on earth did you two cultivate and fuse..."
