My Arts Evolve When Perfected

In the very heart of the Soul Race Oasis City, an aura of death drifted. The figures of Jiang Qiu and Snow emerged from the darkness, their silhouettes sharp and distinct. Their Dragon Scales seemed to shimmer with a strange light.

After an earth-shattering Fusion, Snow's cheeks were flushed and burning hot. Most of the skin on her body not covered by Dragon Scales was pink—a rosy blush against her fair complexion, like a freshly ripened peach.

Her body appeared very weak, but in reality, her Realm had already reached the Peak of Fusion Realm. The state of her body was merely a reflection of her soul. On the contrary, she was now in her peak condition, and the pressure she exuded had reached its apex.

Their thoughts were open to each other. Jiang Qiu's soul and Snow's soul had merged into one, almost entirely without restriction. Even so, Jiang Qiu inexplicably sensed a familiar yet distant aura emanating from Snow's body—fleeting and unreachable.

"So this is what it feels like to have a body at the Fusion Realm?" Snow's slender fingers kneaded the soft flesh on her chest, as if testing the resilience of her skin. "It feels so real."

Her voice was always ethereal and distant, possessing a divinity that ordinary people lacked. It seemed to have been this way ever since she last awoke.

However, the distance between her soul and Jiang Qiu's had actually closed. There was almost no deception or concealment between them; their thoughts were shared, and even their consciousness was mutual.

In other words, if Jiang Qiu wanted to control her body, it would take but a single thought. However, he wasn't yet familiar with the process, so he didn't try.

He watched Snow curiously test her Dragon Maiden form and slowly took a breath. His body and mind were exhausted, as if he had just endured a massive battle of iron and steel, and he was nearly spent.

'The Fusion consumed a massive amount of resources, and my own body seems to have endured countless tribulations for my Dragon Body to finally undergo its third transformation and reach the Peak of Fusion Realm!'

'Yes, during the Fusion, my Dragon Body also underwent its third transformation. That means at the Fusion Realm, my physical body is invincible.'

'I can't help but be amazed. The bloodline of the Dragon Race is truly celestial. It always possesses an unrivaled aura, containing a potential for breakthroughs that surpasses the understanding of other races.'

'With a single transformation, the physical body can become powerful to a degree others can't possibly comprehend, like a super-powerful race that far surpasses any worldly clan...'

As Jiang Qiu was lost in thought—SWOOSH—a light space-time fluctuation emanated from nearby. The tiny ripple touched his senses, and in the blink of an eye, Snow had vanished from his sight.

TAP. A delicate hand touched his shoulder from behind. The touch was light, and her voice held a note of joyful surprise, "Senior Brother, I've grasped the Space-Time Law!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The Dragon Maiden's graceful figure flickered in and out of existence. One moment, she would take a single step and reappear a kilometer away; the next, she would step back to Jiang Qiu's side. She was like a dancing butterfly, soaring freely through the air.

She seemed to have merged with the world around her, like a carp entering a great lake. With a wave of her hand, she swam through the air, each ripple in space an invisible wave she commanded.

'She just stepped into the Fusion Realm and immediately comprehended the Space-Time Law!'

'And her level of understanding seems to be very high—at least on par with her status at the Peak of Fusion Realm!'

Jiang Qiu couldn't help but be surprised. 'I can't even tell when she comprehended such a profound Space-Time Dao. Did she just... automatically learn it after her Dragon Form was created?'

'She's truly a different person now. The girl once mocked by the Hundred Ghosts Sect has transformed into an expert at the Peak of Fusion Realm. Every word she speaks is like a divine decree. If she were to return to the Hundred Ghosts Sect in the Yin Yang Great Realm, I'm afraid the entire sect would come out to welcome her.'

'The Peak of Fusion Realm has long since surpassed the Hundred Ghost Ancestor. Right now, Snow's and my own attainments in the Hundred Ghosts Dao are unprecedented. But that presents a problem: we have to find a completely new path to break through the limits of the Hundred Ghosts Dao, or we'll never be able to achieve Unity...'

"Snow, stop playing around. Hide your Dragon Race aura. Don't expose your bloodline, or it will cause us no small amount of trouble."

The Dragon Maiden, who had just appeared a kilometer away across the void, nodded. Her graceful form flashed back to Jiang Qiu's side in an instant, her eyes brimming with joy. "Okay."

It was easy for her to restrain her aura; she could do it with a single thought. Moreover, this type of concealment was nearly impossible to detect. After all, Jiang Qiu used the same method, and not even Celestial Star, an expert in the Harmonization Realm, had been able to see through it.

'As for our Cultivation at the Peak of Fusion Realm, we're both wearing masks attuned to the Laws. They'll naturally conceal our power and save us a lot of unnecessary trouble.'

As he was thinking this, a sudden fluctuation came from within his Dragon Spirit Secret Realm Space. Jiang Qiu raised an eyebrow, and his consciousness plunged inside, where he discovered a large pile of unassimilated resources. "Looks like there's still a lot to take care of," he muttered.

In reality, most of the resources confiscated from the Soul Race had already been consumed. This was just a small fraction of what remained. Still, the sheer volume of the Soul Race's wealth had been staggering; it had been enough to support the Fusion of three great Daos, and with double the resources at that.

After all, Snow was considered a separate individual for Cultivation purposes. It was only because of the unique nature of the Hundred Ghosts Dao that she had merged with him, but her Cultivation Resources were still accounted for separately.
