Quan Yi explained how Ye Lingling's recognition by the Ye Family ancestors transformed her Nine Heart Begonia into the Nine Heart Begonia Emperor and awakened the Nine Heart Domain. After discovering the Domain's powerful healing and soul-power-sharing abilities, the group set off to find a Soul Ring for Qi Feng.

• Huo Wu reminded the group to find a Soul Ring for Qi Feng, and Quan Yi summoned the Scarlet Dragon and announced that their next target was in the sky.

Quan Yi, Qi Feng, Ye Lingling, and Huo Wu pursued a rare Emerald Devil Bird through the Sea of Trees so Qi Feng could obtain it for his Azure Steel Sword. Quan Yi sent Xiao Hong to capture the bird alive, and Xiao Hong caught up to it at supersonic speed.

• Quan Yi led the Scarlet Dragon toward the Forest Center, where Qi Feng and Ye Lingling spotted a small emerald-green avian Soul Beast flying through the trees.
• Quan Yi identified it as an over-fifty-thousand-year-old Emerald Devil Bird and explained its history of sucking out the brain matter of living creatures.
• Qi Feng chose the Emerald Devil Bird as a suitable Soul Beast for improving his Azure Steel Sword, and Quan Yi offered to capture it.
• Quan Yi summoned Xiao Hong and ordered her to catch the Emerald Devil Bird without killing it; Xiao Hong surprised everyone by speaking aloud.
• The Emerald Devil Bird fled into the forest at Hundred-Thousand-Year speed, but Xiao Hong tracked it with her God Level dynamic vision and launched after it at supersonic speed.

Xiao Hong captured the Emerald Devil Bird, and Qi Feng killed it to obtain its over-fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring. Qi Feng absorbed the ring into his Azure Steel Sword, which emerged deep cyan with a crimson, razor-sharp tip.

• Xiao Hong caught the Emerald Devil Bird and knocked it unconscious by letting its beak strike her forehead.
• Xiao Hong returned with the bird, and Quan Yi told Qi Feng to kill it without damaging its body.
• Qi Feng killed the Emerald Devil Bird with a strand of Soul Power, producing a Black Soul Ring over fifty thousand years old.
• With Quan Yi guarding him, Qi Feng summoned his Azure Steel Sword and began absorbing the Soul Ring despite its mental shock.
• Qi Feng completed the absorption, and his sword changed to deep cyan with a crimson streak at its tip.

After absorbing the Emerald Devil Bird’s Soul Ring, Qi Feng gained the Bloodthirst trait and the Emerald Shadow Demon Blood Sword skill, which let him control his Azure Steel Sword as a flying weapon. He demonstrated its speed and limits, leaving the group aware of both its formidable power and its danger.

• Qi Feng suppressed the Azure Steel Sword’s vicious aura and explained that its Bloodthirst trait restored damage by absorbing vitality and could improve the Martial Soul’s quality.
• Quan Yi warned Qi Feng not to let the sword control him, and Qi Feng promised to draw it only when his family was threatened.
• Qi Feng described his new Soul Skill, Emerald Shadow Demon Blood Sword, which increased the sword’s attack and penetration while letting it fly at the Emerald Devil Bird’s maximum speed.
• Quan Yi opened the barrier, and Qi Feng demonstrated the skill as the Azure Steel Sword carved a web of sharp azure light through the air.
• Qi Feng confirmed that he could precisely control the sword within two thousand meters for up to half an hour at full Soul Power, then launched it farther as a straight-line attack.

Qi Feng’s new Soul Douluo strength was demonstrated, while the Ye Family’s relocation preparations continued amid Heaven Dou City’s evacuation. In the clan’s Medicine Garden, Xiao Lu studied medicine with Lin Mu and revealed Quan Yi’s dream of making a world where everyone could become a Spirit Master.

• Qi Feng recalled his Azure Steel Sword after demonstrating its power, and Quan Yi congratulated him on becoming a Soul Douluo.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu returned to Heaven Dou City, where Ye Xiaoxiao reported that the Ye Family’s relocation had progressed quickly as residents evacuated the city.
• Ye Lingling brought tea and desserts to the Medicine Garden and found Xiao Lu studying the Ye Family’s medical texts with Lin Mu.
• Xiao Lu explained that medicine would help fulfill Quan Yi’s dream of building a world where everyone could become a Spirit Master.

Xiao Lu invited Ye Lingling and Lin Mu to help Quan Yi pursue his goal of making everyone capable of becoming a soul master, and they agreed. Meanwhile, Quan Yi and Huo Wu tested a method of detonating soul rings inside the Fire Shadow Space, leaving Salas injured by the released power.

• Xiao Lu explained Quan Yi's dream of allowing everyone to become a soul master and answered Ye Lingling's concerns about the scarcity of soul rings.
• Xiao Lu asked Ye Lingling and Lin Mu to join the research, and both agreed to help.
• Quan Yi and Huo Wu continued their secret research in the Fire Shadow Space with nearly fifty soul masters from the Martial Soul Holy Hall.
• Quan Yi used Divine Power to control and detonate a yellow Soul Ring hovering around Bishop Salas, releasing its power and injuring him.

Quan Yi studied Ring Detonation and used his Divine Power to gather Salas’s shattered Soul Ring origin. He infused it with Divine Power, and the yellow origin began turning purple.

• Quan Yi recalled how he learned Ring Detonation from Tang Hao’s simulated use of the Great Sumeru Hammer and studied the technique through repeated experiments.
• Quan Yi determined that a detonated Soul Ring vanished while its energy remained in the Spirit Master, and that the ring took three days to reform and at least thirty-six days for its laws to recover.
• Quan Yi used his Purple-Gold Dragon Eyes and Divine Sense to locate the fragments of Salas’s shattered Soul Ring and guide its origin back toward Salas.
• Quan Yi connected threads of Divine Power to the gathered Soul Ring origin and infused it with energy.
• The pale yellow origin deepened in color and began radiating purple light.

Quan Yi successfully transformed Salas's shattered Hundred Year Soul Ring into a Thousand Year Soul Ring and studied the changes in its patterns. He recognized the five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts as his teachers for further research into soul rings and heterogeneous traits.

• Quan Yi used Divine Power to nourish the scattered foreign substance and released his restraint so the fragments could condense again.
• Quan Yi observed the soul ring's patterns changing as it formed, including patterns related to Soul Power regulation and skill information.
• The new Thousand Year Soul Ring condensed around Salas, who entered meditation to absorb its feedback energy.
• Huo Wu praised Quan Yi, and the five Mental Bodies gathered around the ring to examine it.
• The Flame Dragon King advised Quan Yi to keep testing and studying different heterogeneous traits as a foundation for condensing soul rings with Divine Power.

Quan Yi examined the changes to Salas after his First Soul Ring evolved from a Hundred Year ring to a Thousand Year ring, finding that it had reached fifteen hundred years and greatly improved his attributes and skill. After testing Salas in combat, Quan Yi confirmed that the upgraded skill let him evade an attack he could not have avoided before.

• Salas finished digesting the energy, and Quan Yi found that his physical attributes had improved despite his Soul Power Level remaining unchanged.
• Salas explained that Cunning Fox's Play now increased his speed and flexibility by one hundred percent and his attack power by fifty percent.
• Quan Yi and Salas confirmed that the evolved soul ring had reached fifteen hundred years.
• Salas used Cunning Fox's Play to attack Quan Yi, who blocked his claws and dodged his follow-up strikes while assessing the skill.
• Quan Yi counterattacked, and Salas used his improved speed and agility to avoid the direct hit, though the fist wind sent him flying.
• Quan Yi praised Salas for dodging the attack and said the soul ring's evolution had brought tremendous progress.

Quan Yi used his Wood-attribute divine power and the Healing Laws to repair the damage caused by Ring Detonation, then reassembled a soul ring with its origins in a different order. The new ring changed Salas’s bodily attributes and soul ring skill, and Quan Yi was left eager to learn the full extent of those changes.

• Quan Yi found that an evolved soul ring recovered from law damage much faster than earlier rings and concluded that changes to matter could also affect laws.
• Quan Yi used Wood-attribute divine power together with the Healing Laws to repair every break in a soul ring’s Law Threads within seconds.
• After a week of practice, Quan Yi mastered soul ring repair and resumed his experiments.
• Quan Yi detonated Salas’s Thousand Year-level soul ring, stabilized him, and condensed a new ring without improving its origin quality.
• Quan Yi rearranged the soul ring’s origins before condensing it, creating a ring with different patterns and causing Salas’s physical attribute boosts to shift toward Mental Power.
• Salas told Quan Yi that both his soul ring and its skill had changed dramatically.

Quan Yi tested a new Soul Skill and used the results to clarify how soul rings produce skills. He resumed his experiments while Huo Wu cultivated Law in Fire Shadow Space, as the Ye Family prepared to relocate and its members discussed Innate Soul Power.

• Quan Yi demonstrated Spirit Wind's Whisper, which sent different messages to Quan Yi and Huo Wu through Mental Power, and analyzed its limitations.
• The Flame Dragon King explained that Spirit Wind's Whisper was an innate Spirit Wind Fox ability, and Quan Yi identified active and dormant factors within the soul ring's origin as components in forming Soul Skills.
• Huo Wu decided to begin cultivating, and Quan Yi enclosed the Spirit Masters in his Golden Jade Furnace to keep his experiments from disturbing her.
• Quan Yi sent Xiao Jin to protect Huo Wu, who took him and descended into Fire Shadow Space to cultivate Light and Darkness Laws.
• The Ye Family's relocation continued, while Xiao Lu, Ye Lingling, and Lin Mu discussed Innate Soul Power in the Secret Garden.

Quan Yi and Huo Wu sent Xiao Hong toward the Sun to secure an energy source for Quan Yi’s Soul Ring experiments. After a week of flight, Xiao Hong reached the Sun’s atmosphere and reported that its temperature seemed unusual.

• Quan Yi realized that his Soul Ring research would require more energy than he or the Ice and Fire Spring could safely provide.
• Quan Yi chose the Sun as an energy source and worked with Huo Wu to project Xiao Hong to Mercury for the journey.
• Huo Wu regularly checked Xiao Hong’s progress and transmitted energy to help her accelerate toward the Sun.
• Xiao Hong became self-sufficient by drawing on solar energy and approached the Sun’s atmosphere.
• Huo Wu contacted Xiao Hong through Xiao Jin, and Xiao Hong reported that the temperature near the Sun seemed off.

Xiao Hong reached the Sun’s corona and absorbed its immense heat, then prepared to channel Sun Power through Shadow Space to Huo Wu. The first stream struck and activated the Golden Jade Furnace, which absorbed the energy.

• Xiao Hong warned Huo Wu not to open Shadow Space because the surrounding temperature had risen beyond the lowest level of Yang Quan.
• Xiao Hong absorbed the corona’s million-degree heat and explained to Huo Wu that she was in the Sun’s outermost atmospheric layer.
• Xiao Hong formed her body into a long, sealed tube and asked Huo Wu to open Shadow Space once the surrounding conditions stabilized.
• Huo Wu carefully pierced a tiny hole in the Space Barrier and retreated as scorching golden-red Sun Power poured into Shadow Space.
• Xiao Hong directed the Sun Power into the Golden Jade Furnace, whose Fire Patterns activated and absorbed the energy.

Quan Yi absorbed Sun Power and used the Crimson Gold Profound Flame to stabilize the change in his body. The two flames formed a new Yin Yang Five Elements Grand Formation and stood against each other across the Golden Furnace.

• Sun Power transformed the Fire Patterns on the Golden Furnace and Xiao Hong, while Quan Yi absorbed it to strengthen his body and purify his Divine Power.
• Sun Power overwhelmed the balance between Quan Yi's Six Bowels and five organs, keeping energy in the bowels and separating the Yin-Yang Grand Formation.
• Quan Yi released the Crimson Gold Profound Flame from his Torso Bone, forcing Sun Power to resume circulating through his five organs, body, and Divine Mark.
• Sun Power and Crimson Gold Profound Flame settled into the Six Bowels and five organs as opposing forces, and Quan Yi named their new formation the Yin Yang Five Elements Grand Formation.
• Quan Yi projected the formation's power onto the Golden Furnace, where sun-colored and crimson-gold Yang Marks opposed one another and linked into a closed loop.

Li Qing used the Heavenly Dimension Gate to seal the Red-Robed Witch’s Witch Core and fought him while their forces battled below. After the Earth Warriors on Li Qing’s side lost, Li Qing drew power from three Earth Immortal Dharma Realms and struck the exhausted witch, who escaped the blow with a life-substitution method.

• Li Qing activated the Heavenly Dimension Gate’s power, causing the Red-Robed Witch to fall from the sky and lose access to his Witch Core.
• Li Qing and the Red-Robed Witch fought with the Fire Spirit Pearl, spinal-bone Magical Beasts, and Li Qing’s companions while the Earth Warriors clashed below.
• The four Earth Warriors on Li Qing’s side lost the battle, and the Red-Robed Witch urged Li Qing to stop fighting.
• Li Qing drew power from the Spirit Coconut Blessed Land, Lettuce Island, and White Rose Manor, then struck the Red-Robed Witch with the Yuan Magnetic Treasure Pearl.
• The blow shattered the Red-Robed Witch’s protective artifacts and a Wooden Puppet, but he appeared elsewhere using a life-substitution method.

While Quan Yi absorbed Sun True Fire and studied a Fire Law Thread, his insight triggered tremors that spread from the sun across the Universe and reached the God Realm. The Asura God suspected Quan Yi was involved and went to the Sea God to ask where he was, then ordered him to watch for Quan Yi.

• Quan Yi absorbed the Sun True Fire and, as it clashed with the Crimson Gold Profound Flame, gained a deeper understanding of fire and encountered a Fire-attribute Law Thread.
• As Quan Yi began analyzing the Law Thread, a heartbeat sounded within the distant sun, triggering tremors that rippled through stars, Planes, and the God Realm.
• The Asura God sensed that the sun was protecting something and, despite an urgent summons for the God Kings, diverted toward the Sea God to ask about Quan Yi.
• The Sea God said he did not know where Quan Yi was and complained that Quan Yi had sealed his Sea God's Heart in the Fire God's Guidance Necklace.
• The Asura God told the Sea God to monitor Quan Yi and contact him as soon as he could reach him.

Huo Wu used her Fire Shadow Space to counter the imbalance caused by the Ultimate Light in her Divine Power, drawing together an immense amount of Shadow Power. She compressed it into a black sphere, where a strange fluctuation began to form.

• Huo Wu’s Ultimate Light fused with her Ultimate Fire to create a distinctive Sun Power, but its growing Yang strength weakened the balance with her Yin Attribute.
• Huo Wu sensed the imbalance and summoned her Fire Shadow Space, which she had learned to control through Shadow Power.
• Huo Wu unleashed Ultimate Light across the Fire Shadow Space, causing the space and its shadow power to expand alongside the light.
• Huo Wu gathered the resulting Shadow Power into her palm and compressed it into a Black Shadow Ball that began to develop a fluctuation resembling Quan Yi’s Sun True Fire.
