Chapter Summaries

The Heaven and Earth Commerce Association auctioned rare pills and other goods, while Lin Hao noted how its affiliated powers benefited from their status. The auction reached its finale with the Innate Soul Power Pill, and Ya Fei introduced a six-year-old girl to test it.

• The auctioneer presented goods from the North Pole Land, including pills and herbs that impressed wealthy bidders but remained unaffordable for many Soul Masters.
• Members of affiliated powers such as the Dugu Family and Fire Leopard Sect enjoyed discounts and access to goods, while Huo Qian's growing influence raised the Fire Leopard Sect's standing.
• Lin Hao reflected that demand for pills had strengthened the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association's reputation and that the association was no longer accepting many new affiliated powers.
• Ya Fei unveiled the Innate Soul Power Pill and announced that a lucky attendee would test it for free.
• Tuoba Hongshan brought in a nervous six-year-old girl who had just awakened her martial soul, accompanied by Yue Guan, Gu Rong, and Yu Luomian.

Ya Fei demonstrated the Innate Soul Power Pill’s effects by having independent soul masters examine a newly awakened girl before and after she took it. The verified improvements convinced the crowd, and bidding began on the first of three pills.

• Meng Shu, the dean of Skywater Academy, and other respected soul masters examined the girl and confirmed that she had just awakened with level-seven Innate Soul Power and no signs of cultivation.
• Ya Fei gave the girl an Innate Soul Power Pill, and after fifteen minutes, Meng Shu and the other examiners found that her Soul Power had risen to level eight and that her body had improved in several ways.
• Ya Fei projected four inspection reports comparing the results from Yue Guan’s group and Meng Shu’s group, convincing the attendees that the pill worked.
• Ya Fei opened bidding on the first Innate Soul Power Pill at one million Gold Soul Coins, and the attendees began raising their offers.

After the auction, Ya Fei explained that the major forces had restricted access to the North Pole Land while negotiating with its powerful Soul Beast Clan, and announced that it would be opened to the public. Her speech promoted the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association as Lin Hao’s influence across the continent continued to grow, leaving him close to unifying the major powers.

• Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Star Luo Empire bought the three Innate Soul Power Pills for an average of four million Gold Soul Coins each.
• Ya Fei announced that the North Pole Land had been restored by the Life Goddess and Kindness God King and that its environment now benefited soul masters’ cultivation.
• Angry attendees accused Ya Fei of using a false explanation to justify the major forces’ exclusion of outsiders, and Yue Guan and the others calmed the venue with their auras.
• Ya Fei said the major forces had negotiated with the North Pole Soul Beast Clan and paid a price before gaining a say, and that they had restricted entry to prevent outsiders from disrupting the talks.
• Ya Fei credited Lin Hao with insisting that the North Pole Land be opened to the public, while the chapter described how the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association had gained influence over most of the continent’s powers.

After the auction, Lin Hao gathered the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association’s strongest members and revealed that his agents had discovered the Sun Moon Continent. He prepared to send a new group there to carry out his plan to sow discord, while keeping the discovery secret from other factions.

• Yue Guan and others backed Ya Fei’s explanation that the North Pole Land was now open to the public, winning praise for the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association.

• The gathered members were shocked when Lin Hao revealed that a new continent existed beyond Douluo Continent.

Lin Hao told the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association about the Sun Moon Continent and asked its members to consider how to enter it. After Shen Lingmin proposed developing quietly, Lin Hao raised the possibility that members might inherit the continent’s divine legacies.

• The Heaven and Earth Commerce Association’s members grew excited about the profits and resources a new continent could bring, while Long Xiaoyao realized the expansion would help conceal his attempt to inherit the Darkness God’s godhood.
• Lin Hao asked the association members for their thoughts on the Sun Moon Continent, and most looked to vice president Shen Lingmin for advice.
• Shen Lingmin proposed exploiting differences in resources and prices between the continents and keeping the association’s operations hidden to avoid attracting enemies.
• Lin Hao explained that the Sun Moon Continent had two rival empires and two known divine inheritance sites, then asked whether association members could inherit those gods’ legacies.
• The association members became solemn at Lin Hao’s question before breaking into broad smiles.

Lin Hao told Heaven and Earth Commerce Association members about possible godhood inheritances and plans to explore Sun Moon Continent, while urging them to conceal their identities. He gave them a month to decide and prepare, then left with Long Xiaoyao and Tu Shan Hong Hong, who would oversee the continent's affairs.

• Lin Hao reassured the association members that the God Realm gods would not obstruct them and described possible inheritances tied to the Darkness God, God of Light, and God of Forging.
• Lin Hao assigned Hong Hong to oversee the Sun Moon Continent plan, directed members to seek resources and keep their identities secret, and asked those interested to register with Shen Lingmin.
• Lin Hao warned that the journey carried risks and gave the members a month to decide and prepare before sending them to Sun Moon Continent.
• Lin Hao departed using his flying Soul Tool, and Long Xiaoyao followed because he intended to pursue the Darkness God inheritance.
• Tu Shan Hong Hong followed Lin Hao after he entrusted her with Sun Moon Continent's affairs, considering who could take over her Spirit Hall duties.

Lin Hao arranged for Long Xiaoyao and Tu Shan Hong Hong to travel to the Sun Moon Continent while Spirit Hall remained under watch. As the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association prepared its expedition and bought supplies, imitators speculated that its purchases signaled a new opportunity, unaware they would likely be stuck with goods they could not sell.

• Lin Hao reassured Long Xiaoyao that he had no need to prepare for the journey to the Darkness God Temple, and Long Xiaoyao vowed to protect him.
• Tu Shan Hong Hong asked who would oversee Spirit Hall after she left, and Lin Hao said they should give Bibi Dong time while Cai Lin, Bone Robe, and Qian Renxue kept watch.
• Soul masters noticed the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association buying supplies in bulk, and some began copying its purchases in hopes of profiting.
• The association planned to resell its supplies on the Sun Moon Continent, while Lin Hao expected imitators without trade channels to be forced to sell their stock cheaply.
• After a month, the association finalized its travel list, with sixty percent of meeting attendees signing up, and increased production to meet members’ demand for supplies.
• Some members privately bought resources that Shen Lingmin had ordered, hoping to earn extra profits on the Sun Moon Continent.

Lin Hao sent Tu Shan Hong Hong and Long Xiaoyao to the Sun Moon Continent to pursue a godhood inheritance and stir up trouble, while revealing his experiment to create a godhood by merging the continents. Three days later, Feng An and the others reached Prince Su Estate and learned that a Beast Tide had devastated nearby cities after the estate’s forces were weakened.

• Lin Hao briefed Tu Shan Hong Hong and Long Xiaoyao on their mission to the Sun Moon Continent, including the Darkness God Temple and the Profound Moon Empire.
• Tu Shan Hong Hong asked Lin Hao why he had chosen her for the mission, and he explained that he wanted to test whether merging the continents could create a new godhood.
• Long Xiaoyao and Tu Shan Hong Hong accepted the mission and left Lin Hao’s courtyard together.
• Three days later, Feng An led Tu Shan Hong Hong and their companions into a city in Prince Su Estate’s fief, where they found a Profound Moon Empire Spirit Master Legion stationed.
• Feng An learned that a Beast Tide had attacked nearby human cities after Prince Su Estate’s forces were weakened, causing devastating casualties before the Soul Beasts withdrew.

Feng An explained how the Profound Moon Imperial Family used the Beast Tide to weaken Prince Su Estate and installed a Spirit Master Legion in the region. Back at Prince Su Estate, he agreed to help Tu Shan Hong Hong establish a secret foothold and use a newly formed alliance to draw the Imperial Family’s attention.

• Feng An deduced that the Profound Moon Imperial Family had provoked the Beast Tide to force him out, then used the aftermath to station a Spirit Master Legion near Prince Su Estate.
• The Heaven and Earth Commerce Association had healed Feng An and brought him along because his knowledge of Sun Moon Continent could help with their operation.
• Tu Shan Hong Hong asked Feng An to tell Prince Su Estate not to join the alliance opposing the Imperial Family, and Feng An assured her his son would refuse.
• Feng An explained that nearby Spirit Master forces had abandoned Prince Su Estate during the Beast Tide and now sought its help after the Legion began purging them.
• Feng An proposed using the alliance to draw the enemy’s fire, since it was likely to contact other regional powers stirred by Darkness God Temple.

After two months of establishing cover identities and studying the Sun Moon Continent, Tu Shan Hong Hong began a plan to provoke the factions by hunting their young geniuses. Dugu Bo led the first ambush in Gulan City, attacking a Climbing Cloud Sect genius under the Moon Family’s protection.

• Tu Shan Hong Hong and the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association members surveyed the Sun Moon Continent and spent two months securing identities and learning its factions.
• Tu Shan Hong Hong assigned members to target geniuses at the coming competition, intending to draw the factions into conflict and make the first strike in the Profound Moon Empire.
• Dugu Bo accepted responsibility for killing a fifteen-year-old Climbing Cloud Sect Soul Ancestor visiting Gulan City and used informants to gather details about him.
• Dugu Bo knocked out a Soul Elder, entered Gulan City under his identity, and coordinated with three concealed Soul Douluo to ambush the target.
• When the genius and his companions walked into the ambush, Dugu Bo’s allies held off the protectors while he attacked the genius with his full strength and Martial Soul Avatar.

Dugu Bo and his group killed a Climbing Cloud Sect genius Soul Master and his protector in Gulan City, prompting the Moon Family to investigate but suspect the Profound Moon Imperial Family. Tu Shan Hong Hong then sent Cheng Gang to kill a young genius of the Profound Moon Imperial Family, drawing that family into the conflict.

• Dugu Bo and three others used a concealing array to kill the Climbing Cloud Sect genius Soul Master and his protector, then left the scene for Li Si's people to handle.

• The Moon Family and the Climbing Cloud Sect suspected the Profound Moon Imperial Family but held back from confronting it without evidence.

• Ma Xiaotao supported Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation and planned to take over the Zhu Family before the Young Master reached Star Luo Imperial Capital.
• The Zhu Family’s Second Elder guided Zhu Zhuqing through her Martial Soul Awakening, and she awakened a Hell Spirit Cat.
• Zhu Zhuqing poured Soul Power into the test crystal, which shone beyond its limit and revealed her Innate Soul Power was Level Ten.

• The Zhu Family Head told Zhu Zhuqing that the family had bought several Innate Soul Power Pills and that one had been reserved for her, but he had withheld it.

• The Zhu Family Head told Zhu Zhuqing that he wanted to end the Succession Struggle and protect his children, then offered to take her to hunt a Soul Beast the next day.

• Ma Xiaotao asked Zhu Zhuqing what she wanted to do, and Zhu Zhuqing said she wanted to leave the family temporarily before returning to resolve its problems.

• Ma Xiaotao told Zhu Zhuqing to make the Zhu Family obey her and offered her support, then gave her a Soul Ring Orb to absorb.
• Zhu Zhuqing was shocked that the Soul Ring Orb could grant a soul ring ranging from one hundred to ten thousand years, depending on her constitution.

Zhu Zhuqing pressed her father to surrender leadership of the Zhu Family, with Ma Xiaotao backing her with overwhelming strength. Her father remained wary, but Zhu Zhuqing argued that joining Ma Xiaotao would protect the family and let it resist the Dai Family.

• Zhu Zhuqing absorbed her thousand-year First Soul Ring and reached Soul Power level 12 while Ma Xiaotao guarded her.
• After considering how to take control, Zhu Zhuqing used Ma Xiaotao's influence to detain Zhu Family members loyal to the Dai Family without killing them.
• Zhu Zhuqing confronted the Zhu Family Head and demanded that he step down so she could lead the family.
• The Zhu Family Head tried to attack Ma Xiaotao, but he backed down when she revealed her nine soul rings and Titled Douluo strength.
• Zhu Zhuqing showed her father her thousand-year First Soul Ring and urged him to trust Ma Xiaotao, arguing that their alliance could help the Zhu Family oppose the Dai Family.

Ma Xiaotao secured the Zhu Family’s cooperation and placed Zhu Zhuqing in charge, allowing her to consolidate power with help from the family and the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association. As Zhu Zhuyun’s hopes of winning the succession struggle faded, Zhu Zhuqing summoned her sister and offered her a chance to work together.

• Ma Xiaotao promised the Zhu Family Head help against the Dai Family and instructed him to let Zhu Zhuqing make the final decisions while he remained head in name.

• Zhu Zhuqing summoned Zhu Zhuyun to the main hall, surrounded her with four Soul Douluo, and offered her a fortuitous opportunity if she followed her arrangements.

Zhu Zhuqing secured Zhu Zhuyun’s cooperation and received Ma Xiaotao’s guidance and resources to strengthen her control of the Zhu Family. Meanwhile, Dai Mubai endured Dai Weisi’s suppression, and Ma Xiaotao uncovered renewed Dai Family contact with a hidden force, giving the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association grounds to act.

• Ma Xiaotao learned that someone from the Dai Family had contacted the hidden force targeting the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association.
• Ma Xiaotao dismissed her spy and concluded that the Dai Family’s renewed contact gave the association grounds to move against the family.

Ma Xiaotao and Tian Yang planned to capture the people behind the Star Luo Empire’s plot while preparing to deal with the Dai Family’s Titled Douluo. At Hundred Eyes Manor, Zuo Zongzheng discovered that the black-robed man he had come to meet was an impostor.

• Ma Xiaotao told Tian Yang to follow the trail and subdue the conspirators before they went to the imperial palace to control the Dai Family’s Titled Douluo.
• Zuo Zongzheng disguised himself as a beggar and arrived at Hundred Eyes Manor in White Tiger City to meet the Dai Family’s supposed envoy.

There, Tian Yang confronted the envoy and a group of soul masters while Bai Shan sided with the Association, leaving the conflict on the verge of battle.
