Jiang Che felt refreshed and invigorated.
The Soul Communion Technique truly lived up to its reputation as a divine skill.
Moreover, he had stumbled upon a groundbreaking discovery—dual cultivation techniques could actually be applied to soul entities!
Jiang Che's soul cultivation was only at the Sky Shattering stage, while Mo Lianxing's soul was genuinely at the peak of the Nirvana stage!
Though Mo Lianxing lacked a physical body, after consuming Jiang Che's Supreme Soul Nurturing Pill, her soul power had fully recovered to its peak state. At full strength... she might not be able to unleash Nirvana-stage power, but she could at least deliver soul attacks equivalent to the Transcendent Realm.
Jiang Che had truly hit the jackpot this time—like a sparrow pecking at an ox's whip, he'd struck gold!
"Jiang... Jiang Gongzi, what kind of technique is this? My cultivation... actually improved???"
Mo Lianxing was utterly stunned.
How was this even possible???
Right now, she was merely a soul entity. Without a physical body, she lacked a dantian and spiritual roots for cultivation. Even if she practiced soul-based arts... at most, she could only enhance her soul strength. Without a body, no matter how powerful her soul became, her cultivation couldn't advance.
Her limit was effectively locked at the 9th Revolution Nirvana stage!
But after last night's events, not only had her soul strength increased, but her spiritual roots had also grown stronger—even her original cultivation showed signs of improvement.
The boost in soul strength was understandable, but the enhancement of her spiritual roots and cultivation defied all logic.
This should have been impossible!
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy?"
Jiang Che, thoroughly satisfied, wrapped an arm around Mo Lianxing's slender waist.
Though both were in soul form, the sensation was even more intense than physical touch.
"I already told you—my technique is an immortal-grade dual cultivation method. My dear, your horizons are too narrow..."
Mo Lianxing: "......"
After the initial shock came overwhelming excitement!
If dual cultivation could make her stronger, then her need for a physical body wasn't so urgent anymore. She could seize this opportunity to cultivate with Jiang Che—who knows, she might even break through the Nirvana stage's constraints and reach the legendary Creation Realm!
Upon reaching the Creation Realm, one could fuse soul and body, integrating the laws of their own Dao. Only then could they truly stand firm in the Nine Heavens and become a powerhouse.
Mo Lianxing licked her lips and boldly clung to Jiang Che's arm.
"Husband~~~ Can you help me break through to the Creation Realm?"
Since their souls had already merged completely, there was no need for shyness—she cut straight to the point.
"The Creation Realm? Wife, are you trying to kill me?"
Jiang Che feigned shock.
This woman changed her tune faster than the weather—just yesterday, she'd been reluctant, but now that she'd tasted the benefits, she was all in?
Mo Lianxing gently bit her thin lip, seemingly weighing her options.
A moment later, a white light shimmered around her. When it faded... her appearance had completely changed. Her black robes were replaced by a snow-white gown, and even her hair had turned silver-white.
Most strikingly, nine fluffy white tails now swayed behind her, their tips tinged with a faint pink.
"Husband~~~ This is my imitation of the Nine Heavens' Qing Fox Clan's form... Do you like it?"
Mo Lianxing deliberately swayed her fox tails, her eyes brimming with allure.
Jiang Che: "......"
Not enough?
Mo Lianxing transformed again—this time into an adorable bunny girl, blinking innocently at Jiang Che.
Jiang Che: "......"
Still not enough?
Mo Lianxing shifted once more! Her hair turned deep blue, and her neck shimmered with iridescent fish scales, yet her beauty remained ethereal.
"Husband~ This is the mermaid form of the Deep Sea Merfolk... Do you approve?"
Mo Lianxing was going all out.
Though she had zero practical experience, her theoretical knowledge was unparalleled—after all, she'd spent thousands of years as a soul.
Nirvana-stage cultivation was tedious, so she'd passed the time by collecting and studying... less-than-proper literature.
Watching Mo Lianxing cycle through these transformations, Jiang Che was genuinely impressed.
This heartless woman had such skills?
She could mimic the beauties of all races across the Nine Heavens?
Why hadn't she mentioned this earlier?
Of course, while Mo Lianxing could alter her appearance, her facial features remained her own—like an ultra-realistic cosplay.
"Ahem, my dear... I have matters to attend to. I'll... take my leave for now."
In a flash, Jiang Che retreated from the Soul Nurturing Ring.
Mo Lianxing stared blankly at his departing figure.
Then she felt utterly ridiculous—a peak 9th Revolution Nirvana-stage soul entity like her had just been thoroughly outplayed by a mere Sky Shattering-stage brat.
Though soul interactions lacked physical sensation, they left soul imprints...
At her level, a mere squeeze could cripple a Sky Shattering-stage soul.
Yet she'd held back.
"Well... what's done is done. I'll just take things as they come!"
With a sigh, Mo Lianxing reverted to her original black robes.
But soon, her gaze was drawn to a few glimmering stones by the bedside.
"Gasp!!!!"
"Supreme Spirit Stones!!! Husband, you're too generous!!!"
The moment she saw the treasure, Mo Lianxing's eyes sparkled with greed as she pocketed the stones.
"Three whole pieces! Plus the one from before, and the 10 high-grade spirit stones Ruoxu gave me... I'm rich!!!"
Glancing around to ensure no one was watching, she sneakily bit one of the supreme stones.
"Wow, genuine! I'm so touched... Being his Dao Companion is just too good!"
Mo Lianxing had fallen—hard.
In her past life, she'd toiled for centuries, scraping together a lifetime's savings just to acquire three supreme spirit stones!
Now, by Jiang Che's side, all it took was abandoning morals and dignity—and she gained cultivation, spirit stones, and enhanced spiritual roots!
Most importantly... Jiang Che was an incredibly considerate man.
Lose your dignity, lose some. Lose your spirit stones, lose everything.
This golden thigh—Mo Lianxing was clinging to it for life.
...
"Hey! Hey! Are you dead or what? Wake up!"
The moment Jiang Che's soul returned to his body, he found Yu Wan'er straddling him, her small hands pinching his cheeks.
"Yu Wan'er, are you asking for death?" Jiang Che grabbed her and lifted her like a kitten.
But the mention of death made his eyes narrow slightly.
He glanced at Shen Yu, who sat quietly by the bed, absorbed in a book as if detached from the world.
Perhaps he could fake his death and see if this woman had any heart at all.
Of course, this was just a passing thought—he'd never actually test Shen Yu, especially not while she was pregnant.
