Chapter 1938: Chapter 1938: Soul Fusion

Ye Qiubai was originally half of the Green Cloud Sword Master’s soul, so there was no resistance to the fusion of their souls—they could merge with ease.

However, after so long with his own independent soul, Ye Qiubai had developed a dominant soul presence of his own. But since the Green Cloud Sword Master actively split a portion of his main soul into a sword spirit, that problem was solved.

But...

A soul fusion that should have been so simple...

The Green Cloud Sword Master’s soul stopped outside Ye Qiubai’s sea of consciousness.

He saw golden chains wrapped around the sea of consciousness—chains that were not restrictions meant to imprison Ye Qiubai’s soul, but to protect it.

The golden chains gleamed with shifting halos of light, and the pressure emanating from them allowed the Green Cloud Sword Master to sense a terrifying soul oppression without even touching them—it made him feel suffocated.

He’s this strong already?

"Senior, why aren’t we starting yet?" Ye Qiubai, already fully prepared, noticed the silence and couldn’t help but ask with confusion.

The Green Cloud Sword Master was silent for a moment.

Just blurting it out would be embarrassing enough—after all, he’d already lowered himself to voluntarily become a sword spirit.

But... the truth is he really couldn’t break through that restriction!

The Green Cloud Sword Master took a deep breath, trying to act composed, but the tremor in his voice and the tone of shameful anger couldn’t be disguised.

"Then why don’t you open the door already!"

Open the door, buddy?

Chang’sheng laughed. "Oh? You studied vocal music? Your vibrato and angry shouting are pretty on point!"

What’s with all this vibrato and angry shouting crap?

The Green Cloud Sword Master was about to cry.

Is this how you treat an old man nearly ten million years old?

Ever heard of respecting your elders and taking care of the young?

"Senior, I can’t break through the restriction you set up. Can’t move to the next step..." The Green Cloud Sword Master gritted his teeth and said resentfully.

"Should’ve said so earlier! What took you so long?"

Green Cloud Sword Master: "..."

Argh! Just end me! I’m exhausted!

For a moment, the Green Cloud Sword Master even considered just blowing up together with these two shameless master and disciple...

Lu Chang’sheng cut out the jokes too.

He pressed two fingers to Ye Qiubai’s forehead.

In front of the Green Cloud Sword Master, the golden chains interlocking outside the sea of consciousness began to unravel.

The enormous pressure shrouding the Green Cloud Sword Master dissipated instantly, making his spirit body feel weightless.

However...

Just as the Green Cloud Sword Master was about to enter Ye Qiubai’s sea of consciousness...

Lu Chang’sheng’s voice suddenly thundered beside the Green Cloud Sword Master—like lightning from the outer heavens.

"You should realize—if I wanted to kill you, it would be as easy as taking something from my pocket."

The Green Cloud Sword Master felt a chill pierce straight through the core of his soul, as if that plain voice had frozen and solidified his entire soul.

"...I understand."

Though he felt unhappy, after living millions of years, he had to admit there was an absolute gap in their strength.

What’s more, after witnessing Lu Chang’sheng’s might and absurd means just now,

Green Cloud Sword Master couldn’t even muster a trace of evil intent.

Even if by some miracle he escaped Lu Chang’sheng’s senses and snatched the dominant soul, wouldn’t Lu Chang’sheng just erase him anyway?

With his power, the Green Cloud Sword Master believed that even at his absolute peak, he’d still be no match at all.

The Green Cloud Sword Master gazed at the now-open entrance to the sea of consciousness, ceased to hesitate, and turned his main soul into a ray of light that dove straight into Ye Qiubai’s consciousness.

Without the barrier of the restriction, the fusion of the Green Cloud Sword Master and Ye Qiubai’s souls went extraordinarily smoothly.

No resistance whatsoever—no struggle for the dominant soul.

It was like a drop of water joining a lake.

Calm and natural.

Ye Qiubai simply felt as if, deep within his soul, an invisible, heavy veil was being gently lifted away.

His vision broadened in an instant—countless insights about the Sword Dao, battle experience, understandings of the laws of heaven and earth—they all crashed over him as if a treasure trove of memories sealed for eons had burst open, flooding his mind to the point of drowning him.

This was the essence amassed by the Green Cloud Sword Master over millions of years. Nourished by this immense power, the sword intent within Ye Qiubai’s body began circulating, refining, and transforming autonomously, growing more concentrated and pure, picking up a bit of an ancient and boundless, melancholic air.

All that could be said was—the Green Cloud Sword Master was truly worthy of being the number-one sword cultivator of the six worlds from millions of years ago.

He could sense it clearly—his Sword Dao had quietly leapt to a whole new level; foggy bottlenecks from the past had been instantly made clear. His talent and potential seemed to be awakened to the extreme in this moment, shattering all previous shackles.

With this surge of soul power, Ye Qiubai’s realm shot directly from the early stage of the Monarch God Realm to the very peak!

If outsiders knew that Ye Qiubai had just crossed the Nine Level Thunder Tribulation to break through to Monarch God, and now went straight from beginner stage to the summit, they’d probably have their jaws drop off in shock.

Examples of people breaking through realms one after another do exist—

But someone like Ye Qiubai, leapfrogging so fast? Unheard of.

But for Ye Qiubai, this wasn’t so hard to understand.

He had always been desperately suppressing his own cultivation realm.

This breakthrough wasn’t just his soul becoming complete—it was also an eruption from all those years of building a solid foundation.

However...

Soul fusion not only brought a breakthrough in realm, but also came with the Green Cloud Sword Master’s memories and even some emotions.

Although the dominant soul consciousness hadn’t entered Ye Qiubai’s main soul,

since the souls were fused, some memory imprints were bound to blend into Ye Qiubai’s soul to a degree.

Within the sea of consciousness, fragments of memory drifted about.

Ye Qiubai watched them all pass by, one by one, like a carousel.

Whether it was the endless yearning for Outer Heaven, the searing regret of failing to break through barriers dozens of times, the obsession with immortality...

All of it ultimately paused on that crushing feeling of powerlessness before Lu Chang’sheng—that feeling of being an ant beneath the might of heaven.

Giving up all dignity and choosing to compromise, casting aside everything for the sake of letting a plan millions of years in the making continue in another way.

As people say,

True empathy between people is impossible.

But at this moment—

Ye Qiubai and the Green Cloud Sword Master truly resonated emotionally.

"You felt it, didn’t you... this is the complete you..."

"Your mind wasn’t overwhelmed by the torrent of memories—seems your state of mind is indeed solid." The Green Cloud Sword Master, now just a spirit body, floated in front of Ye Qiubai.

"This is essential for attacking the Legendary Realm above the Creation Realm in the future. Very good."

Ye Qiubai took a deep breath. Everything around him now seemed to be under his soul’s perception.

His soul was full to the brim—at the very peak!

Ye Qiubai looked at the spirit before him, face complicated, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for letting this happen."

The Green Cloud Sword Master shook his head. "It was just a choice made because there was no other way... Don’t forget your promise, kid. Take me to see... that even broader world."

Ye Qiubai looked solemn, cupping his hands. "I will."

Lu Chang’sheng said nothing, instead probing Ye Qiubai’s consciousness to look for any other issues.

For him, you can never be too cautious when it comes to others!

All of a sudden—

Lu Chang’sheng’s expression shifted. "You two behave, something’s come up outside. I’m off."

Ye Qiubai had just opened his mouth to speak when Lu Chang’sheng vanished.

Leaving only a hurried sentence behind:

"Behave yourself, kid! Don’t bother me for every little thing, don’t drag your mess up the ranks—if I have to fight the elders, I’ll lose all my face!"
