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?
