The effect of the Flying Snow Calamity is on the divine soul, so the harvest should naturally also be on the divine soul.

Jiang Wang manipulated the Dao诀, spreading out a sea of flowers.

His usual combination was to mix Flame Flowers within the Flower Sea, using Illusion Flowers to conceal the Flame Flowers, so that the Flower Sea, a Dao technique for creating a combat environment, also possessed offensive power.

But now…

An Illusion Flower bloomed, and when it approached his palm, it transformed into a Flame Flower and exploded. Before it completely dissipated, Jiang Wang reached out to extinguish it, and it vanished as an Illusion Flower in his palm.

The transformation between Illusion Flowers and Flame Flowers was free and smooth, with almost no obstruction. This allowed the combination of Flower Sea and Flame Flowers to truly achieve a balance between illusion and reality.

With a little more refinement, it could be said to be a Dao technique superior to the original, and could be named the Sea of Flame Flowers.

What does this embody?

More free control over illusions?

Is its essence the strengthening of the divine soul power?

Jiang Wang was lost in thought.

He had always had an idea for targeting the Nether Candle, but it had not taken shape due to his strength.

Lighting the Nether Candle in the Tongtian Palace, Flame Flowers would certainly not work, but what if it were not a material flame, but a divine soul fire?

The divine soul travels to and from the Tongtian Palace, and even the Gate of Heaven and Earth will not block it!

He certainly couldn’t do it before, but now, why not give it a try?

The power of the divine soul was previously unmentionable, but after passing the Flying Snow Calamity, it might not be.

There are naturally no Dao techniques related to the fire of the divine soul, but what if it were constructed in the form of Flame Flowers?

He knows all the details of the Flame Flower by heart. It is a Dao technique he mastered in Maple Forest City and has been using and practicing ever since, never slacking off.

Now, it’s just a matter of converting Dao Yuan power into divine soul power instead.

It may not be impossible!

Jiang Wang’s mind sank into the Tongtian Palace.

He stared at the Nether Candle from the perspective of his mind.

The Star-Wrapping Spirit Snake, as the True Spirit of the Dao Meridian, seemed to have some spiritual perception. It was half-hanging in a galaxy Dao vortex, no longer swimming.

The Nether Candle remained motionless, as if nothing had changed.

Jiang Wang tried to feel his divine soul power – which would naturally have been futile before, but now, there was a wonderful change.

He took a point of divine soul power as a spark and used it to activate the Flame Flower.

Perhaps the construction rules of the divine soul fire are different from those of the Flame Flower fire.

But the way to construct Flame Flowers lies in the natural generation of fire-attribute flowers.

In other words, Jiang Wang only provides a direction or an introduction, and the power of the divine soul will naturally be conceived and born.

A scarlet flame was born.

Born in the Tongtian Palace!

This color is pure, hot, as if determined to burn out at any time, and will not coexist with any darkness.

Jiang Wang controlled it, slowly approaching the Nether Candle, approaching…

The Nether Candle, lit up!

It was lit by Jiang Wang for the first time, instead of spontaneously combusting.

It was truly a mental fire lighting the Nether Candle.

The Nether Candle melted at a visible speed, and at the same time, as before, a secret technique emerged in his mind.

This time, it was the White Bone Secret Technique, Yin-Yang Reflection.

After applying this secret technique, using any Dao technique will add a Nether Reflection, creating a double effect.

For example, a Flame Flower will turn into two with the blessing of Yin-Yang Reflection.

But the limitation is still that it is only limited to blessing White Bone Dao secret techniques.

If added to the White Bone Dao secret technique system, it is certainly a very powerful secret technique.

But so far, Jiang Wang has only mastered the Flesh-Giving Soul-Returning Technique and the White Bone Escape Technique.

Neither can be used with the blessing of Yin-Yang Reflection.

It would be okay to add a reflection to the Flesh-Giving Soul-Returning Technique to save two people at the same time.

What is the point of adding a reflection to the White Bone Escape Technique? Consuming twice the lifespan and dying of old age in the blink of an eye?

But now is not the time to think about the Dao technique system.

Jiang Wang continued to burn the Nether Candle with the divine soul Flame Flower, seemingly determined to burn it all at once.

Just then.

“Alas.” It was like a sigh from the depths of his heart.

The voice said, “I have no malice.”

The Nether Candle did not move, but the divine soul Flame Flower…suddenly went out.

There is indeed a problem with this Nether Candle!

He was indeed influenced before!

Although he had guessed it, Jiang Wang couldn’t help but be shocked when the guess came true.

No one can be too calm when they know that their consciousness has another influencer.

“Who are you?” Jiang Wang condensed his divine soul power and asked.

“I am you.” The voice said, “So you can construct Flame Flowers, and I can dissolve them.”

“You are me?” Jiang Wang certainly wouldn’t believe it.

If this voice couldn’t affect the divine soul Flame Flower, he would have burned the Nether Candle clean without hesitation.

“I don’t know if you have noticed it yourself, but I have to tell you something.” The voice said, “Using White Bone Dao secret techniques will be contaminated by the White Bone Venerable God.”

“Using White Bone Dao secret techniques will be contaminated by the White Bone Venerable God?” Jiang Wang chewed on this sentence, feeling a chill.

“The true power of a Nether God is beyond your imagination. Every time you use the White Bone Dao secret technique, this contamination will deepen. In the end, no one can escape His control. This is how He rules the White Bone God Kingdom.”

The voice continued, “And I am a part of your divine soul. The contaminated part resides in the Nether Candle.”

“You are a part of my divine soul?” Jiang Wang felt like he was listening to some Arabian Nights tale.

“I was first born when you performed the Flesh-Giving Soul-Returning Technique for White Lotus. Or I should call her, Miaoyu.”

“That’s not important.” Jiang Wang said, “You said… ‘born’?”

“No, she is important. It’s just that you are not willing to admit it now. I said, I am you. You can even deceive yourself, but you can’t deceive another you.”

A divine soul Flame Flower appeared in the Tongtian Palace.

Jiang Wang’s attitude was very tough: “Don’t say some boring things. If you can’t convince me in the shortest possible time, why not try it out, who has a deeper control over this divine soul?”

“Okay, okay, you don’t have to be angry. We don’t need to waste ourselves. I said, I have no malice towards you. In fact, that’s true, isn’t it? Think about it, I have never harmed you. On the contrary, I have always tried to get you out of danger.”

Jiang Wang said: “In my opinion, influencing my thinking is already the greatest malice.”
“If you strongly object to this, I apologize. Initially, I just didn’t want to scare you, and I didn’t want you to be in danger. After all, we are essentially one. If you die, I can’t live either.”

“Let’s talk about your birth,” Jiang Wang said.

“The Nether Candle is the supreme treasure of the White Bone Dao, and I am the part of your divine soul tainted by the White Bone Divine Lord. I can’t explain my birth; it was something that happened by chance. I was also very ignorant at the beginning, but the Nether Candle absorbed me. I gained space within the Nether Candle, and I avoided competing with you for dominance of your divine soul.”

At least, regarding the statement about competing for dominance of the divine soul, Jiang Wang had to believe it.

The extinguished flames of the divine soul were proof enough.

“If you really hate the idea of ‘another you’… I am the part of your divine soul tainted by the White Bone Divine Lord, so you can consider me your nightmare,” the voice said. “You can call me Jiang Nightmare.”

Jiang Wang said, “A nightmare is an evil spirit.”

“Being tainted by the White Bone Divine Lord, what else could it be but a nightmare?” the voice calling itself Jiang Nightmare said.

That was quite frank.

“You seem to know many things that I don’t. If you are me, that doesn’t make sense,” Jiang Wang said.

“My birth was because the White Bone Divine Lord tainted a part of your divine soul, so in addition to your memories, I also know many things about the White Bone Dao. It’s just that, because of the Nether Candle, I avoided being controlled by the White Bone Divine Lord. Think carefully. Aren’t the things I know that you don’t all related to the White Bone Dao?”

Whether it was the warning before the White Bone Divine Lord’s descent in Maple Forest City, or the neglect of the Plague Bell in Scarlet Tail County, they were indeed related to the White Bone Dao.

“That alone doesn’t seem to convince me,” Jiang Wang said indifferently.

“Then I’ll put it another way. I originally just wanted to hide quietly inside the Nether Candle, and every action I took was to save you. This time, if you hadn’t insisted on lighting the Nether Candle, I wouldn’t have appeared at all. The Nether Candle is the supreme treasure of the White Bone Dao, and it can accommodate me. Once it’s gone, I have to return to your divine soul, merge with you, and become a completely new ‘me’. You might as well think about it. Are you willing to accept that kind of situation?”

“You might not be able to merge with me,” Jiang Wang said.

“Yes, perhaps it will be a completely new ‘me’ that blends all our wills, or just simply you, with all my will erased,” Jiang Nightmare said. “Or, it might just simply be ‘me,’ who knows.”

“Tell me your thoughts,” Jiang Wang said. “I don’t believe you just want to live in the Nether Candle forever. Or maybe I should think of a way to send you out of the Heavenly Palace and see if you can still affect my divine soul from the outside?”

“There’s no need to be shy. I already have my own independent will, so of course I’m not willing to hide in the Nether Candle forever, watching you live such a wonderful life, and living like a snail in your Heavenly Palace,” Jiang Nightmare ignored Jiang Wang’s threat, not knowing whether he was sure that Jiang Wang couldn’t find a way to send the Nether Candle away, or believed that Jiang Wang wouldn’t make such a choice.

He said directly, “My idea is very simple. I also want my own body. Of course, I don’t think I can compete with you. In fact, you are not my best choice either.”

“There are many corpses in the burial grounds. Men, women, old, young, beautiful, and ugly, any will do.”

“Of course not,” Jiang Nightmare said. “I was born with the aura of the White Bone Dao and need a body of a member of the White Bone Dao… Forget it, I’ll just say it directly. I only want the body of the White Bone Dao Son. Of course, he should be called the White Bone Holy Lord now.”

“Your demands are not low.”

“I am you, Jiang Wang! Do you think you are someone who is just content with the status quo at heart?”

“If I don’t agree?”

Jiang Nightmare said coldly, “Jiang Wang, you should know yourself a little better. Ask yourself, when have you ever lacked the courage to go down in flames together?”

“Since you claim to be another me, and claim to know me very well,” Jiang Wang smiled, “then why are you still trying to threaten me?”

“Precisely because I understand you. That’s why I want you to know. No matter what the result of our fight for the divine soul is, the divine soul will ultimately be severely damaged, and there will be no hope for the Great Dao forever. In fact, this is why I avoided fighting with you from the very beginning. I believe that you will also give up the possibility of fighting me for this reason.”

Jiang Wang was silent. He couldn’t refute these words. Or rather, he didn’t need to refute them. This was the truth. He had traveled all this way to reach the peak, and there was no way he would stop early.

Jiang Nightmare continued, “Jiang Wang, I am you, and you are me. There is no comrade-in-arms more intimate and reliable than yourself. We are friends, not enemies.”

After a long time, Jiang Wang said, “It will be difficult to plot against the body of the White Bone Holy Lord in the short term.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Jiang Nightmare’s voice seemed to be smiling. “I am very patient, and I have a lot of confidence in you.”
