Chapter Summaries

Jiang Taichu found Ah Yin in her cave and swallowed her alive to acquire the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline. He activated his Myriad Beasts Record to fuse with the bloodline, and vitality began flowing through him.

• Jiang Taichu climbed to the cave behind Holy Soul Village and found Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, planted inside.
• Jiang Taichu decided to swallow Ah Yin rather than risk relying on her producing a Soul Ring.

• Jiang Taichu felt a steady stream of vitality pour through his body as the fusion began.

After fusing with Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, Jiang Taichu gained her as a contract Soul Beast and discovered that his First Soul Ring granted him powerful Blue Silver abilities. He found the hidden Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, but Ah Yin urged him to let her absorb it instead.

• Jiang Taichu completed his bloodline fusion, which strengthened his body and gave him a pale-white First Soul Ring from Ah Yin.

Jiang Taichu had Ah Yin absorb her Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, which raised his First Soul Ring to its 999-year limit and increased his Soul Power Level to thirteen. After they left the cave, Tang Hao discovered Ah Yin and the Soul Bone were gone, while Jiang Taichu considered seeking the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Ah Yin told Jiang Taichu that she could recover to ten-thousand-year strength but was limited by his spiritual power, and he led her away from the cave before Tang Hao could return.
• Tang Hao sensed that something was wrong, rushed back to the cave, and found Ah Yin and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone missing.
• Jiang Taichu considered how to raise his spiritual power and gather resources for his Soul Beasts, and resolved to pursue the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Jiang Taichu gave the kindly old shopkeeper a drop of Life Essence, took the shop’s porcelain and jade bottles, and promised him first chance to buy more if he helped spread the word.

• Jiang Taichu tested his strength with Ah Yin and estimated that he could absorb a seven- or eight-hundred-year Soul Ring.
