Chapter Summaries

Ye Xinyu revealed that her martial soul contained a hidden space where Soul Beasts grew rapidly, making her plan to train a thousand people feasible. Lingyuan accepted the plan and took responsibility for it, but warned Ye Xinyu to be cautious about trusting others.

• Lingyuan questioned Ye Xinyu's plan to gather a thousand people with little Soul Power, and Ye Xinyu claimed she could raise them to at least Soul Elder within six years.
• Ye Xinyu showed Lingyuan a Hundred-Year Essence Soul and explained that it could increase cultivation, but Lingyuan warned that training so many people would require an impractical number of Soul Beasts.

• Ye Xinyu explained that time and Soul Beast growth were accelerated inside the space, and that her mother had brought Soul Beasts there.
• Lingyuan agreed that the plan was feasible and accepted responsibility for it, then warned Ye Xinyu that outsiders could not be trusted with secrets.

Ye Xinyu asked Lingyuan to manage her new Soul Hall and explained her plan to support its members by selling them Soul Beast meat. Lingyuan warned that the generous subsidies and cheap meat could disrupt the market and encourage overhunting, then advised Ye Xinyu to reduce the promised monthly meat allowance.

• Ye Xinyu asked Lingyuan to catch Soul Beasts for her and manage the group of recruits arriving that afternoon.
• Ye Xinyu explained that she would fund the group with money from selling spirit essences and offer members subsidies and discounted Soul Beast meat.
• Lingyuan pointed out that the plan gave away too much meat at a price far below the market rate and could lead to large-scale Soul Beast hunting.
• Lingyuan advised Ye Xinyu to blame Spirit Hall for limiting supplies and reduce the monthly meat allowance to one jin while keeping the internal price.

Ye Xinyu gave Lingyuan spirit essences and money, then visited Xiao Chenyu’s camp to inspect the nearly thousand recruits. She offered them soul beast meat for lunch, and the chapter left the recruits reacting with surprise and hunger as the captain was told to prepare it.

• Ye Xinyu told Lingyuan how quickly she could condense spirit essences and gave her the essences and twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins to distribute.

• Guang Ling revealed his identity as Spirit Hall's Fifth Worshiper, and Qian Renxue stopped him from fighting Dugu Bo.
• Qian Renxue warned Dugu Bo to retire and implied that his granddaughter would be in danger if he refused; Dugu Bo left.

• Ye Xinyu swallowed the Nine-Grade Purple Orchid and refined its power, raising her Soul Power to level twenty as the bead inside her body appeared and released a purple aura.

Asura God and Poseidon betrayed Angel God to secure more faith power, and she sacrificed herself to strike the returning creature before it reached Douluo Star. Qian Daoliu sensed Angel God’s fall and flew toward the golden streaks, while the two gods delayed descending to the lower realm because the creature might still be alive.

• Asura God and Sea God agreed to keep the dangerous creature alive until they had gathered enough power of faith.
• Ye Xinyu's Soul Power stabilized, and she found that two Purple Streams were refining her Soul Power and strengthening her body.

• Ye Xinyu worried about the people trapped in the ruined city, but Lingyuan took her toward the outskirts to escape the approaching dust cloud.
• Lingyuan mistook golden streaks in the sky for Soul Seeds, and Rakshasa God explained that they were Law Fragments left behind when a deity fell, which could strengthen or form Soul Rings.

Ye Xinyu used her Purple Stream to help Qian Yuhan withstand the dust storm, and Qian Yuhan entered her consciousness to help her condense a second soul ring. The chapter left Ye Xinyu beginning to form the ring, with the resulting divine soul skill still unknown.

• Lingyuan agreed to help Ye Xinyu claim the Soul Seed after the storm passed, while warning her to stay back.
• Qian Yuhan raised a golden barrier that protected Nuoding City from the dust storm, and Rakshasa God realized her soul was still holding on.

• The barrier expanded and subdued the storm before fading, and Ye Xinyu's Purple Stream returned slightly diminished.
• A golden streak entered Ye Xinyu's glabella, and Qian Yuhan appeared in her consciousness and began helping her condense a soul ring.

Ye Xinyu absorbed the Soul Seed, gained a new golden soul ring and a second awakening of her martial soul, and received a warning to tell Qian Daoliu to seal off the place. In the Spiritual Sea, the weakened Angel God confronted the Rakshasa God, while mysterious Purple Streams threatened them both.

• The Rakshasa God warned the Angel God that two Purple Streams overhead would suppress and kill them if they fought, but the Angel God insisted she had self-destructed rather than been defeated by evil.

Ye Xinyu woke after receiving a powerful new support skill and discussed its effects with Lingyuan. As they prepared to leave the ruined Nuoding City, several figures appeared before them.

• Lingyuan asked what would happen if she refused, and Yu Xiaogang said he would act while the dean urged him to proceed.

Lingyuan beat Yu Xiaogang and his group after Ye Xinyu stopped her from killing them over concern for Bibi Dong’s connection to Yu Xiaogang. Ye Xinyu then returned with Lingyuan to Nuoding City to investigate the dangerous source of the tremors, where they learned few people were available to help.

• Ye Xinyu warned Lingyuan not to kill Yu Xiaogang because Bibi Dong might retaliate, and Lingyuan instead crippled Yu Xiaogang and his companions.
• Lingyuan challenged Yu Xiaogang’s claim to be a Spirit Hall elder and told him to meet them at the Pope’s Palace to confront Bibi Dong.
• Ye Xinyu asked Lingyuan to return to Nuoding City and gather people to seal the dangerous place that caused the tremors.
• Grandmaster watched Lingyuan and Ye Xinyu leave, clenched his fists, and recalled Xiao San’s saying about a poor middle-aged man’s eventual rise.
• Tang San searched the ruins while Ma Xiunuo assured him everyone had escaped, then Ma Xiunuo told Lingyuan and Ye Xinyu that casualties were minor but only a little over ten people could help.

Ye Xinyu and Lingyuan investigated the earthquake crater and learned that a nearly dead but extraordinarily powerful soul beast lay inside. They sealed off the area and headed toward Spirit City, while Ye Xinyu began considering whether she and Lingyuan should leave to avoid trouble with Bibi Dong.

• Ye Xinyu persuaded Lingyuan to send people to rescue survivors in the city and warn everyone away from the earthquake's source.

• Ye Xinyu suggested hiring assassins to kill Yu Xiaogang before he could accuse them to Bibi Dong.
• Lingyuan told Ye Xinyu that Bibi Dong would not punish her, but Ye Xinyu remained wary and resolved to make Qian Renxue see Yu Xiaogang as Spirit Hall's enemy if he came after them.
• Outside Nuoding City, Su Yuntao asked Ma Xiunuo about the creature in the pit, and Ma Xiunuo warned him to stay alert and keep everyone away.
• Ma Xiunuo went to rest, leaving him and Su Yuntao to take turns guarding the pit.
• A small figure slowly approached the guards.
