Chapter 714 Soul Fusion Completed, Snow Empress's Changes
"Snow Empress, what are you doing?!"

Jiang Ming exclaimed in surprise when he saw Xue Di merge her entire soul into the body.

Merging souls—this is no joke!
"Now that I am your soul, I have no intention of leaving. Let's merge our souls. This way, your soul will become even stronger."

Xue Di's voice carried a hint of ease, as if she did not regard the fusion of souls as a big deal.

But is this really the case?
no!
Once Xue Di's soul is fully integrated into Jiang Ming's soul, Xue Di and Jiang Ming are essentially bound together, inseparable no matter what.

Furthermore, if Xue Di was Jiang Ming's soul spirit before, and she wouldn't have any problems if Jiang Ming's soul was injured, then once the souls merged, she would suffer the same pain as Jiang Ming if there were any issues with Jiang Ming's soul!

"Snow Emperor, you..."

Jiang Ming listened to Xue Di's voice and didn't know what to say.

"Alright, I believe you. Hurry up and continue refining your spiritual power. I'll take the lead in the soul fusion. Do you trust me?"

The souls of Xue Di and Jiang Ming were completely merged. It was not a matter of consciousness being devoured or annihilated, but rather a fusion of the deepest powers of their souls.

Even though Jiang Ming's soul is powerful enough now, the Snow Empress's soul essence energy accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years is still terrifying!
To achieve soul fusion, a sufficiently powerful leader is also needed to guide it.

Of course, soul fusion is an extremely dangerous thing, and even the closest people might not allow you to do such a thing.

Simply put, the soul is the deepest, most mysterious, and most vulnerable part of the human body.

If even the slightest problem arises here, it will be a major issue for a Soul Master!
Without complete trust, it would be absolutely impossible to entrust such an important place entirely.

"Since you, Snow Empress, are already willing to merge your soul with mine, how could I not trust you? I'll release my soul, come and try."

Jiang Ming released the defensive power of his soul, allowing the Snow Empress's soul essence to completely enter his own soul.

He himself accelerated the spiritual core, which had just slowed down, to continue refining the spiritual power within his spiritual sea.

Xue Di's soul energy paused slightly. She chose to completely merge her soul with Jiang Ming because she didn't want Jiang Ming to stop improving his spiritual power because of her.

After all, if the improvement of mental strength is interrupted, it is very likely to cause a backlash of mental strength, which is definitely not a good thing for Jiang Ming who is about to undergo the divine assessment.

The wounds to the soul cannot be healed in a short time, and she could not let Jiang Ming take that risk.

Moreover, the fusion of souls wasn't actually that difficult for her to accept.

She was already bound to Jiang Ming, and the soul fusion was just a way to deepen that bond.

However, for the soul fusion process to proceed, she needs to gain Jiang Ming's complete trust.

Jiang Ming is currently breaking through his mental strength cultivation and refining his mental strength.

This process can only be carried out by Jiang Minglai, who operates the spiritual core and tempers his spiritual power, because he is the one who controls the spiritual core.

However, if Jiang Ming tries to control the spiritual core, then he will inevitably be unable to control the soul fusion.

While soul fusion is not particularly troublesome, the fragility of the soul itself means that the process must be handled without any accidents.

If even the slightest accident occurs, both of their souls will be severely damaged!
Therefore, she must gain Jiang Ming's complete trust, otherwise the soul fusion will be very difficult.

What Xue Di didn't expect was that Jiang Ming trusted her to such a high degree.

Before she could even open her mouth, Jiang Ming completely withdrew his soul defenses, revealing his entire soul to her.

"Since you trust me so much, I certainly can't let you down."

As Xue Di thought to herself, her soul power transformed into a ball of ice-blue light and completely entered Jiang Ming's soul.

cold!
After Xue Di's soul consciousness entered his own soul, Jiang Ming almost instinctively shivered.

As a naturally born ice and snow spirit, even her soul and consciousness carry an aura of coldness.

The soul is the most sensitive part of the human body, and this sensitivity is even stronger than that of the external sensory organs!
Seemingly aware that the icy aura in her soul would make Jiang Yang uncomfortable, Xue Di deliberately swept that wisp of icy aura inward.

The feeling of coldness disappeared, replaced by a warm, gentle sensation.

Immediately afterwards, the powers of the two souls began to merge.

Initially, Xue Di only used a wisp of her soul power to probe out and entangle with Jiang Ming's soul power. In the process of entanglement, they slowly assimilated and merged.

She had no experience in soul fusion; she only knew that this method existed.

The entanglement of souls is like two hands caressing each other's bodies.

No, the entanglement of the soul is more sensitive than touching the body.

Even from the fusion of just a wisp of soul power, Xue Di felt a strange sensation arise within her.

As their souls continue to merge, this feeling grows stronger and stronger.

Jiang Ming naturally sensed something was amiss, since the other party in the soul fusion was his own soul.

He was almost unable to control his distraction, and this distraction slowed down the speed of his spiritual core, putting the incoming spiritual energy at risk of getting out of control.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming could only suppress the strange feeling in his soul and concentrate on tempering his mental power.

If he can quickly complete the tempering of his spiritual power in the entire Sea of ​​Spirit, he will be able to focus on the soul fusion.

Xue Di also wanted to suppress the strangeness in her soul, but to suppress it, she had to stop the soul fusion, because this strange feeling was essentially generated from the soul fusion.

But having already come this far, how could she possibly stop?
After hesitating for a moment, Xue Di finally decided to stop suppressing it.

Her soul power transformed into countless ice-blue light spots, which directly merged into the golden light spots representing Jiang Ming's soul, undergoing a complete fusion.

In an instant, an indescribable strange feeling assaulted Xue Di's soul. She couldn't describe what it was; it was exciting, somewhat uncomfortable, yet also somewhat enjoyable.

This strange feeling almost overwhelmed even the Snow Emperor's powerful will, which had endured for hundreds of thousands of years, and she nearly succumbed to it.

But she was, after all, the Ice and Snow Empress. After experiencing the first wave of strange sensations, she immediately controlled her soul power and gradually infused it into Jiang Ming's soul.

When the soul fusion began completely, Jiang Ming's consciousness wavered for a moment, and then he was immersed in a snowy and icy environment.

This environment was very familiar to Jiang Ming, as it was the far north, and if he remembered correctly, this was the area where the Snow Emperor had built his palace when he last went deep into the far north. However, there was no palace in this area now, only endless ice and snow and bone-chillingly cold temperatures.

"You just focus on refining your mental strength, leave the rest to me."

With their souls connected, Jiang Ming could easily sense Xue Di's consciousness, and Xue Di could also sense Jiang Ming's consciousness.

"Ah."

Jiang Ming steadied himself, withdrew the wisp of consciousness that had been forcibly separated due to the fusion of souls, and continued to control his spiritual core to temper his spiritual power.

Because of the soul fusion with Xue Di, Jiang Ming's soul essence strength has increased by another level.

Even though he is currently only in the process of fusion, Jiang Ming's soul strength is continuously increasing, which also makes his control over his spiritual core stronger.

However, the speed at which he tempered his mental energy did not increase; in fact, it slowed down somewhat.

The strange feeling brought about by the fusion of souls was so distracting that even if Jiang Ming tried his best, he couldn't concentrate all his energy on it and had to use some of it to suppress it.

This was undoubtedly torture for Jiang Ming, but there was nothing he could do about it.

To improve this situation, he either needs to stop refining his mental power, or he needs to finish refining his mental power as soon as possible and shift most of his energy to soul fusion.

But clearly, he can't do either of those things right now.

Time passed second by second. Jiang Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass in the small world, trembled continuously. The expression on his face changed with the fluctuations of his mental energy, sometimes becoming one of enjoyment, sometimes one of pain, and sometimes one of entanglement.

Jiang Ming's unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of others in the small world.

Rongrong, Xiaoyu, and Mengbing wanted to get closer to see what had happened to Jiang Ming, but Xiaoling stopped them.

As Jiang Ming's spirit, she could roughly guess his current state from the aura emanating from him.

The improvement in mental strength also has a feedback effect on these elves; they can now clearly feel their souls slowly improving.

Therefore, Jiang Ming not only escaped unharmed, but should have also gained a great deal of benefit.

Hearing Xiaoling say that, Rongrong and Xiaoyu felt relieved, but they did not leave. Instead, they stayed around Jiang Ming.

Within Jiang Ming's spiritual sea, the spiritual body of Jiang Ming, seated cross-legged at its center, shimmered with golden light, and at some point, it also acquired a touch of icy blue.

Jiang Ming's spiritual core between his eyebrows is currently undergoing the final wave of spiritual tempering. Once completed, his spiritual strength will increase by a level!
Before merging with the elves, Jiang Ming's soul power and mental power were not particularly strong, at least not reaching the peak strength of humans.

With two soul cores, Jiang Ming's total soul power, even without merging with his physical form, is comparable to that of a level 98 Super Douluo.

His mental strength is a bit weaker, since apart from the support of the 100,000-year-old head soul bone, the spiritual soul core, and the amplification from the Fiery Eyes, Jiang Ming has not specifically cultivated his mental strength.

Now, after Xue Di completely merged her soul with Jiang Ming's, Jiang Ming's spiritual power cultivation has surpassed his soul power cultivation for the first time.

boom!
After the last bit of spiritual power in his spiritual sea was tempered by the spiritual core, Jiang Ming clearly felt that the space within his spiritual sea became more stable.

But this was not the end. Jiang Ming's spiritual body was still suspended in the center of the Sea of ​​Spirit. At the core of the golden vortex, a mass of soul energy, mostly golden but with a trace of icy blue, was merging.

The fusion of souls is not yet over.

The fact that this soul still has an icy blue hue means that the Snow Emperor's soul essence has not yet been fully integrated into it.

Only when all the icy blue has disappeared will this sudden fusion of souls truly end.

With his mental energy fully refined, Jiang Ming was finally able to separate his consciousness into his soul.

"Snow Emperor?"

Jiang Ming called upon the soul of the Snow Emperor. He had already given the Snow Emperor control of the soul fusion, but he was still a little unsure of the Snow Emperor's current situation.

"Hmm~"

Snow Empress let out a lazy groan, as if she had just woken up.

This lazy murmur left Jiang Ming completely bewildered. What on earth was going on?

"You've finished condensing your spiritual power? It's alright, the soul fusion went very smoothly."

For some reason, Jiang Ming detected a hint of shyness in Xue Di's voice.

Misheard?
How could the Ice and Snow Emperor possibly speak in such a tone?

Jiang Ming shook his head and asked, "Snow Empress, how are you feeling now?"

He felt very comfortable, after all, after Xue Di's soul energy was completely integrated into his soul, he had a sense of clarity as if his soul had been cleansed.

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

As if stimulated by something, the icy blue soul energy fused together even faster.

A few minutes later, the icy blue color completely disappeared, and the golden mass of Jiang Ming's soul energy expanded.

Then, Xue Di's figure flew out from the golden light and returned to Jiang Ming's spiritual sea.

After emerging, before Jiang Ming's spiritual body could even open its eyes, Xue Di waved her hand and summoned spiritual power from her spiritual sea, which transformed into a dress with an ice-blue base but adorned with golden snowflake patterns, which she then donned.

After completely integrating her soul energy into Jiang Ming's soul, her soul consciousness was now entirely Jiang Ming's aura. Within Jiang Ming's spiritual sea, she now possessed the same authority as Jiang Ming.

Of course, since all her soul energy is with Jiang Ming, her life and death are now basically in his hands.

At this moment, the Snow Empress seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. Originally, the Snow Empress's temperament was extremely majestic and aloof; after living as the ruler of the far north for hundreds of thousands of years, this temperament had long been ingrained. But now, it seemed different.

The ice-blue dress was adorned with golden snowflake patterns. The Snow Empress's majestic aura remained, but her aloofness had diminished slightly, making her appear softer. There were even two faint blushes on her cheeks.

Her figure flashed and flew out from Jiang Ming's sea of ​​consciousness.

Upon seeing Jiang Ming with his eyes tightly closed, Xue Di blushed and reached out to slap him.

If this guy hadn't suddenly broken through in his mental strength and sucked her into his spiritual sea, how could she have suddenly undergone soul fusion?

Moreover, the fusion of souls actually produced that kind of...
