Fusion with a Soul Spirit, Advancing to Soul Master

"Child, what is your Martial Soul? In the Spirit Pagoda of Aolai City, there are seventy-three types of white Soul Spirits available for selection. Based on your Martial Soul, I'll help you choose a relatively suitable Soul Spirit."

The Spirit Master looked at Yao Xuan and explained calmly.

"Sir Spirit Master, my Martial Soul is the Lizard Dragon."

Hearing the Spirit Master's question, Yao Xuan immediately answered.

"Lizard Dragon? That's quite a powerful beast Martial Soul! Since your Martial Soul is the Lizard Dragon, choose a ten-year Black Rock Snake Soul Spirit. Snakes are somewhat related to dragons, so it should also suit your Martial Soul well."

After hearing Yao Xuan's answer, the Spirit Master pondered for a moment before making his suggestion.

"Thank you for your advice! Then I'll choose the Black Rock Snake as my Soul Spirit."

Having received the Spirit Master's recommendation, Yao Xuan answered without hesitation.

To Yao Xuan, the Soul Spirit he fused now did not hold much significance. It was merely for advancing to Soul Master. Once he advanced, he could claim the system reward and replace the original Soul Spirit with the Infinitely Growing Soul Spirit. Thus, Yao Xuan readily accepted the Spirit Master's suggestion.

"Alright, follow me."

As he spoke, the Spirit Master led the way, bringing Yao Xuan into another room across the corner.

Compared to the previous Spiritual Power testing room, this room was much larger. In its center stood a cylindrical device roughly five meters tall and three meters in radius, resembling a large cultivation tank from Earth.

The inside of the device was filled with a viscous green liquid. In addition, many transparent spheres around thirty centimeters in diameter floated within it, each emitting a faint glow.

Walking up to the device, the Spirit Master pressed several buttons. Immediately afterward, a white Soul Spirit ball dropped from the machine's outlet and landed in the metal box below.

"Press this button, and you can release your Soul Spirit. According to the Spirit Pagoda's research, when Soul Masters release Soul Spirits with their own hands, the Soul Spirits achieve a higher degree of fusion with them. Therefore, you must carry out this process personally."

He picked up the Soul Spirit ball and placed it atop an oval-shaped device beside it, then instructed Yao Xuan to come over.

"I understand, Sir Spirit Master."

Listening to the Spirit Master, Yao Xuan nodded, walked over to the device, and reached out to press the button.

Following Yao Xuan's action, a gentle yellow light shone from the device and fell upon the Soul Spirit ball. At once, a faint glow emerged from the sphere's surface. The sealed surface gradually became transparent, releasing a subtle aura of life.

A faint white light flickered. Then, the entire Soul Spirit ball slowly opened from the middle, revealing a coiled snake-shaped Soul Spirit at its center. It was about sixty centimeters long, as thick as an adult's wrist, and covered in black scales.

"Here, this is your Soul Spirit—the ten-year Black Rock Snake. Once you're ready, you can officially fuse with it and advance to Soul Master."

Looking at the snake-shaped Soul Spirit, the Spirit Master explained.

"Yes, I'm ready."

Hearing the Spirit Master's words, Yao Xuan nodded and replied firmly. Fusing with a ten-year Soul Spirit was no problem at all for him. Besides, this was merely going through the motions. This Black Rock Snake Soul Spirit would soon be replaced by the system reward, the Infinitely Growing Soul Spirit.

"Good. Then come with me. For Soul Masters who purchase Soul Spirits from the Spirit Pagoda, we specially provide Cultivation Rooms to help them successfully fuse with their Soul Spirits and complete their advancement."

Seeing that Yao Xuan was prepared, the Spirit Master explained before leading him into a Cultivation Room.

This Cultivation Room had an area of about twenty square meters. Numerous Soul Guiding Arrays were inscribed around it. Clearly, these arrays were Soul Gathering Arrays.

Yao Xuan entered the Cultivation Room. Soon afterward, the Soul Guiding Arrays inside lit up one after another. Immediately, Yao Xuan felt the concentration of Soul Power in the room suddenly rise. At the same time, a faint fragrance came from somewhere unknown, refreshing his spirits.

"Begin."

Yao Xuan quietly sat on the floor, placed the Soul Spirit ball on the ground, then sat cross-legged. He calmed his breathing, cast aside all distracting thoughts, and reached his right hand into the Soul Spirit ball.

Low-level Soul Spirits had no physical bodies and existed only in illusory forms, yet Yao Xuan still felt as though he had touched something warm.

With a thought, nine-colored light suddenly gathered before Yao Xuan, and the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul abruptly appeared. At that instant, the previously lively Black Rock Snake Soul Spirit suddenly trembled. Extreme terror flashed in its eyes, and its energy-formed body instantly curled into a ball.

"Fuse with me!"

With a thought, the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul before Yao Xuan pounced toward the Soul Spirit ball. It opened its mouth and gave a gentle inhale. The Black Rock Snake Soul Spirit instantly shrank and was sucked into the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul.

As the Black Rock Snake Soul Spirit was absorbed by the Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul, the process of Soul Spirit fusion officially began. Yao Xuan closed his eyes and began fusing with the Soul Spirit according to the method taught at school.

As the fusion began, the fluctuations of Soul Power within Yao Xuan's body became increasingly intense. The Soul Power throughout his body boiled and surged forth like crashing waves, striking against the bottleneck of the Soul Master realm.

Under the repeated impacts of the waves of Soul Power, cracks quickly appeared across the bottleneck binding Yao Xuan. Those cracks widened into fissures, and finally, with a crisp crack, it shattered into pieces and was completely broken through.

At that moment, Yao Xuan suddenly felt his entire body grow lighter. Then, a tremendous suction force abruptly appeared in his dantian, madly drawing the Soul Power in the room toward his body. It flowed through his meridians and surged into his dantian.

At the same time, Yao Xuan felt his spine suddenly grow hot. Streams of incomparably scorching heat erupted from deep within his body and rushed wildly through his blood vessels toward every part of him.

If Yao Xuan could look inside his body at this moment, he would have discovered in astonishment that streams of strange nine-colored energy were spreading within him, forming an incomparably complex and wondrous nine-colored lattice imbued with the aura of the Great Dao.

Wherever those lattices passed, the cells in Yao Xuan's body madly absorbed the nine-colored energy, undergoing the deepest transformation and a leap in their level of life. His aura also became increasingly profound and powerful.
