Dugu Chen followed a summons through the Star Dou Great Forest and discovered the Golden Ancient Tree, which drew him into its hollow and enveloped him in life energy.

• Dugu Chen revisited memories of his cultivation, bloodline, and encounter with Yu Xiaolong, then opened his eyes and understood what had happened.

Dugu Chen understood how the Golden Dragon King Origin, the Plane Embryo, and his Kirin Martial Soul were connected, and his cultivation advanced after meditating beside the Golden Ancient Tree. He then decided to attempt condensing a Soul Core, hoping to develop a cultivation method that could help him break through.

• Dugu Chen speculated that Tang Chen had discovered how Soul Cores aided cultivation and passed that knowledge down through the Clear Sky Sect.

Dugu Chen attempted to condense his first Soul Core with the Golden Ancient Tree’s support. As the forming core absorbed more power than he could supply, the Ancient Tree replenished him, allowing him to unleash the core’s absorption without restraint.
