Chapter Summaries

Xu Mingxi planned to undermine Tang San’s future by targeting the Blue Silver King and the Blue Silver Emperor’s inheritance, then followed a mysterious signal from his two Marks to the sea. He left the coast without setting out, deciding to learn about ships and navigation before risking the voyage.

• Xu Mingxi identified Tang San’s potential opportunities and asked the Sect Master to send people to Sunset Forest to search for the Blue Silver King’s inheritance ground.
• The Sect Master agreed to dispatch a search party, while Xu Mingxi returned to cultivation and accepted that the search might take time.
• Tang San struggled to survive as a newborn while Tang Hao grieved for Ah Yin and ignored his son’s needs.
• Xu Mingxi sensed golden and silver rays emerging from his two Marks and followed them west to the edge of Douluo Continent.
• Xu Mingxi sensed the rays extending into the ocean, considered that they might lead to divine inheritances, and returned to the sect to learn about shipbuilding and navigation first.

Xu Mingxi left Star Crown Sect with three elders to seek a possible Deity’s inheritance across the sea, arriving in Vast Sea City to find a ship and experienced crew. The group found neither a suitable vessel nor a reliable crew and planned to continue searching while waiting for a major auction.

• Xu Mingxi convinced the Sect Master to let him sail toward the distant seas, and Xu Mingguang vowed to protect Star Crown Sect during his absence.
• Xu Mingxi told the Sect Master to withdraw most personnel watching Tang Hao and his son, leaving two people to ensure Tang San enrolled at Notting Academy and took Yu Xiaogang as his master.
• Xu Mingxi and three elders reached Vast Sea City and split up to seek Sea Soul Masters and a suitable sailing Soul Tool.
• Xu Mingxi found no nautical Soul Tool in the trading houses, but learned that an auction beside the Hanhai Great Spirit Arena would take place in five days.
• Xu Mingxi and the elders reviewed mercenary reports but found only one navigator willing to enter the distant seas, a Soul Grandmaster who demanded a high price in advance.

Xu Mingxi recruited Miao Nong and several other navigators for a dangerous voyage into the open sea, while the Three Elders secured a mercenary group to protect the expedition. The Seal Mercenary Group began to fracture as its members weighed the risks, leaving only Song Jiang, his wife, their adopted son, and two brothers willing to go.

• Xu Mingxi visited Miao Nong, confirmed his navigation experience, and paid him in advance to join the voyage.
• The Three Elders told Xu Mingxi they had hired a Sea Soul Master mercenary group led by a Soul Emperor and a Soul King, offering the Speed Clan soul bone as part of the payment.
• Miao Nong found more navigators and sailors for Xu Mingxi, including someone able to draw sea charts, and Xu Mingxi paid them eight hundred Gold Soul Coins each.
• Song Jiang offered Gold Soul Coins to members of the Seal Mercenary Group who wanted to leave rather than sail into the open sea.
• Xu Jiang and Xu He agreed to join Song Jiang, his wife, and their adopted son on the voyage.

Xu Mingxi secured the open-sea Soul Tool Shark Tooth and assembled a fifteen-person crew for his voyage. As the ship set sail, he planned to return to Douluo Continent within ten years so he could prepare for the changes ahead.

• Xu Mingxi bought the Dragon Abyss Boat at Hanhai Auction House as a backup but could not find a suitable open-sea navigation Soul Tool there.
• The auction house's person in charge, Chen Chaoran, arranged a deal with Vast Sea City’s City Lord, Mu Ying, for his unused warship.
• Xu Mingxi paid thirty thousand Gold Soul Coins for Shark Tooth, a ship that could store supplies and briefly shield itself from attacks by Sea Soul Beasts.
• Xu Mingxi and fourteen others gathered at the dock, with Miao Nong at the helm and Jiao Tu assigned to chart their route.
• Xu Mingxi set sail aboard Shark Tooth and resolved to return to Douluo Continent within ten years.

Xu Mingxi protected the Shark Tooth from a forty-thousand-year Deep Sea Magic Octopus and defeated it, allowing Song Jiang to claim it as his Soul Ring. Shui Fu began considering whether Xu Mingxi might be a suitable match for her younger cousin.

• Xu Mingxi and the First Elder took turns keeping watch as the Shark Tooth sailed through the sea, while Song Jiang prepared to grow stronger after absorbing a Soul Bone.
• At night, Xu Jiang and Xu He fought off a Sea Lizard, but a massive tentacle nearly seized Xu Jiang before Xu Mingxi struck it down.
• A Deep Sea Magic Octopus attacked the Shark Tooth, and Xu Mingxi revealed his eight Soul Rings, including a 100,000-year ring.
• Xu Mingxi used Great Sun Across the Sky and Blazing Sun Cannon to cripple the octopus and stop it from fleeing.
• Song Jiang dragged the octopus aboard and killed it to obtain its Soul Ring, while Shui Fu thought of introducing Xu Mingxi to her twin younger cousins.

Xu Mingxi's crew landed on a remote island to rest, unaware that pirates were planning to rob them. As the pirates crept toward their camp, the chained boy who had been forced to scout them hoped their arrival might give him a chance to escape.

• After nearly a month at sea, Xu Mingxi diverted the Shark Tooth to a large island so the crew could rest.
• Xu Mingxi's group made camp near the forest, while a chained boy watched them from the mountain and reported their arrival to the pirate Chief.
• The pirate Chief ordered his men to keep watching the newcomers and planned to rob them before they left the island.
• That night, Xu Mingxi noticed the approaching pirates before the First Elder did, and the boy realized the newcomers might help him escape.

Xu Mingxi spared Huo Quan, a young man abducted by pirates, and brought him aboard the Shark Tooth as the ship continued its voyage. When Huo Quan warned of a massive storm gathering ahead, Xu Mingxi ordered the ship to flee the waters and raised its defenses.

• Xu Mingxi and the elders knocked out and tied up a young pirate captive, then learned he was Huo Quan, a sailor with an Eye Martial Soul and useful soul skills.
• Xu Mingxi let Huo Quan aboard the Shark Tooth, where he worked under Song Jiang and watched Xu Mingxi's cultivation help the elders improve.
• After two days of rest, the Shark Tooth resumed its voyage, and Xu Mingxi recorded that his soul power had reached Rank 84 and that Huo Quan's parents had come from Sea God Island.
• Huo Quan rushed to Xu Mingxi's cabin to report that a massive storm was approaching.
• Miao Nong pointed out the black storm clouds on the horizon, and Xu Mingxi ordered the Shark Tooth to speed away while the elders strengthened its soul tool barrier.

Xu Mingxi and the Shark Tooth survived a violent storm that carried them to a deserted island with an active volcano. After harvesting Warm Flame Grass from the crater, Xu Mingxi returned to cultivate while the First Elder saved a Soul Bone for the sect’s younger members.

• Xu Mingxi and the First Elder exhausted themselves maintaining the Shark Tooth’s defenses until the storm passed and the ship reached calm waters.
• Xu Mingxi awoke with his Soul Power increased to level eighty-six and discovered the crew had landed beside a deserted island with an active volcano.
• Xu Mingxi and the First Elder found Warm Flame Grass growing near the volcano’s lava and fought a 30,000-year Lava Toad that attacked them.
• Xu Mingxi harvested the Warm Flame Grass and obtained a left leg Soul Bone from the Lava Toad.
• The First Elder declined the Soul Bone, and Xu Mingxi consumed the Warm Flame Grass before cultivating to recover.

Xu Mingxi’s ship continued toward its destination after a storm made its sea charts useless, while Bibi Dong’s rise as Spirit Hall’s Pope plunged the mainland’s sects into turmoil. After the three invited sects rejected her proposal, Bibi Dong raged in private, and Qian Daoliu let her continue ruling Spirit Hall until Qian Renxue was ready to take over.

• Xu Mingxi learned that the storm had ruined the Shark Tooth’s charts, leaving the crew unable to find its way back as they sailed onward.
• The Clear Sky Sect’s Sect Master refused Bibi Dong’s invitation to re-establish the Upper Three Sects after learning that the other two invited sects had also declined.
• Bibi Dong flew into a rage over the rejections, removed her Mask, and revealed her scarred body while vowing revenge on those she blamed.
• Qian Daoliu dismissed the other Worships’ concerns about Bibi Dong and said he would let her govern until Qian Renxue was old enough to become Pope.

After 438 days at sea, Xu Mingxi and his companions reached the Sun Moon Continent, where he learned they had arrived in the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years in the past. He considered what the two marks in his Sea of Consciousness might mean and wondered whether he could exploit the continent’s lack of worshippers of its deities.

• Xu Mingxi spotted land after four more days of sailing, and the crew celebrated their long voyage’s end.
• A ship from Sea Capital confronted the Shark Tooth, and Xu Mingxi captured its soldiers after they accused the crew of being spies.
• Song Jiang searched the soldiers’ ship and brought Xu Mingxi a crude map, while Xu Mingxi questioned a captured soldier about the region.
• The soldier explained that they were in the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent and described its political divisions and flourishing Soul Tool heritage.
• After hearing that the emperor had reached the legendary realm, Xu Mingxi wondered if he had become a god and considered whether the continent’s deities had any worshippers.

Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders reached the Sun Moon Continent, left Song Jiang and the sailors to settle near Sea Capital, then followed the Mark to Sun Moon Town. The Mark ended there, and Xu Mingxi began searching for clues about its destination.

• Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders landed on the Sun Moon Continent and crossed a small Soul Beast Forest with the sailors.
• Xu Mingxi gave Song Jiang five thousand Gold Soul Coins and sent him and the sailors to settle in Sea Capital under the name Shark Tooth.
• Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders followed the Mark to Sun Moon Town, where its golden and silver light ended.
• Two sisters discussed Xu Mingxi's arrival and said he would need to find their Inheritance Ground to receive their help.
• Xu Mingxi questioned townspeople about the sun and moon flags, learned they claimed the flags had no deeper meaning, and asked where the Town Chief lived.

Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders investigated Sun Moon Town and discovered that its flags and layout concealed an inheritance gate. The town vanished, leaving a golden-and-silver gate with a Black Vortex at its center.

• Xu Mingxi and the Eighth Elder searched the Town Chief's house but found no clues, then concluded that the Town Chief seemed ordinary.
• Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders realized that they had all inexplicably slept instead of cultivating and began investigating the town's strange residents and layout.
• Xu Mingxi observed that the town's homes formed sun and silver moon patterns, then recorded the positions and designs of the flags.
• Xu Mingxi returned to the Town Chief's house and used Moonlight Essence and starlight on its sun flag, causing the town's flags to reveal their sun and moon patterns.
• Xu Mingxi and the Three Elders watched white mist cover the town as the sun and silver moon appeared together, then saw the town vanish and a great gate emerge.

Xu Mingxi entered the Deity’s inheritance ground at Sun Moon Valley and began a trial to find three lights in total darkness. Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Empire’s emperor, Xu Zixlong, learned the clan’s ancient token had awakened and ordered a search for the person connected to the inheritance, while the Three Elders waited outside.

• Xu Mingxi entered the vortex, causing the great door to vanish, and the Three Elders built houses nearby to await his return.
• The token in the Sun Moon Empire’s secret vault lit up, and two Titled Douluo told Xu Zixlong it could signal that someone had obtained a Deity’s inheritance.
• Xu Mingxi arrived at Sun Moon Valley, where the High Priest explained that completing the trials could earn him a chance to meet the Sun God and Moon God.
• The High Priest sent three lights representing starlight, moonlight, and sunlight into the darkness and told Xu Mingxi to find them using his perception.
• Xu Zixlong ordered officials across the empire to search for unusual phenomena and people who could use sun and silver moon powers, but the search found nothing.
• The Ninth Elder learned of Xu Zixlong’s order and suspected it was caused by Xu Mingxi, while the Three Elders continued waiting and only left to buy supplies every half year.

Xu Mingxi used his connection to Starlight to overcome the first trial in the darkness, then discovered the Sun and Moon’s light and reached Soul Power level eighty-eight. While the Three Elders waited for him, the Star Crown Sect avoided joining the conflict between Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; Xu Mingxi completed the trial and was granted seven days of rest before the second trial.

• Xu Mingxi calmed himself in the darkness and followed a river of Starlight through a vast night sky.
• The Three Elders said Xu Mingxi had been inside for a year, while the Star Crown Sect Master refused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s request to oppose Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall.
• The Star Crown Sect Master learned that Spirit Hall had targeted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after Bibi Dong killed Liu Erlong and the clan drove out Yu Xiaogang.
• Xu Mingxi followed a distant call, absorbed Starlight, and raised his Soul Power to level eighty-seven.
• After another year, Xu Mingxi absorbed Moonlight, then Sunlight six months later, strengthening his spiritual power and raising his Soul Power to level eighty-eight.
• The High Priest congratulated Xu Mingxi for completing the First Trial and gave him seven days to rest before the Second Trial.

Xu Mingxi returned to Sun Moon Valley for his second trial and discovered a village where humans and sacred beasts lived together. The High Priest took him to an arena, where two hundred-thousand-year birds awaited the test of capturing them using sunlight, moonlight, and Starlight.

• Xu Mingxi learned that two and a half years had passed and told the Three Elders about the Sun God, the Moon God, and his next trial.
• After spending seven days with his grandfather and the elders, Xu Mingxi entered the Black Vortex and returned to Sun Moon Valley.
• The High Priest led Xu Mingxi through a village where humans and Soul Beasts lived together, then took him toward the trial site on a Sun Flame Crow.
• A Medicine Pestling Rabbit jumped into Xu Mingxi's arms and eagerly licked Moonlight Essence from his fingertip.
• A hundred-thousand-year Cold Moon Bird joined the Sun Flame Crow in the air, and the High Priest told Xu Mingxi to capture both using sunlight, moonlight, and Starlight.

Xu Mingxi struggled to defeat the Sun Flame Crow and Cold Moon Bird, so he began experimenting with fusing starlight and moonlight while the High Priest watched. Meanwhile, Sun Moon Valley’s residents argued over leaving the valley and dismissed Xu Mingxi as an unworthy challenger, drawing the High Priest’s anger.

• Xu Mingxi concluded that fusing starlight and moonlight might help him keep up with the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, but his first attempt caused an explosion.
• Xu Mingxi continued practicing the fusion from a distance, disturbing the Sun Flame Crow and Cold Moon Bird until the Cold Moon Bird froze the entrance to their nest.
• The High Priest watched Xu Mingxi’s experiments and remained doubtful that the two kinds of light could be fused, though he was willing to wait.
• Jin Lin and Yin Lin argued with Sun Moon Valley’s residents about leaving, while some villagers claimed Xu Mingxi was unworthy of the assessment.
• The High Priest overheard the villagers belittling Xu Mingxi and warned that he would bury them in Sun Moon Valley if they caused trouble.

The Star Crown Sect withdrew its aid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after Fang Chun was gravely injured in a Spirit Hall ambush, leaving the clan exposed to Bibi Dong’s plans. Half a year later, Xu Mingxi was still training on the Sun Moon Continent, but he had learned to control moonlight and starlight without triggering an explosion.

• Tang San brought soup to Tang Hao, who suspected Tang San was not his and Ah Yin’s son but stopped himself from acting when black-red light flashed in his eyes.
• The Star Crown Sect Master sent Fang Chun and two Soul Saints to aid the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Third Elder Xu Chunhao recovered and secretly became a Titled Douluo.
• Ghost Douluo ambushed Fang Chun’s group, and Fang Chun was gravely injured while protecting the two Soul Saints; Dugu Bo stabilized him.
• After healing Fang Chun, the Star Crown Sect Master withdrew his people and ended the sect’s involvement, while Bibi Dong looked forward to destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Yu Xiaogang began living at Notting Academy, and Xu Mingxi continued training under the Medicine Pestling Rabbit and another soul beast for half a year.
• Xu Mingxi learned to control the contact between moonlight and starlight without causing an explosion, though he had not achieved complete fusion.

Xu Mingxi completed the hardest stage of his second trial by using fused Starlight and Moonlight constructs to capture the Sun Flame Crow and Cold Moon Bird. The High Priest confirmed that he had passed, and Xu Mingxi collapsed in relief after nearly two years of struggle.

• Xu Mingxi developed a fragile gold-and-silver rope from fused Starlight and Moonlight, then called the Sun Flame Crow and Cold Moon Bird out of their sealed cave.
• Xu Mingxi used Great Sunny Day and the Blazing Sun Cannon to weaken the Cold Moon Bird and bind it with the gold-and-silver rope.
• Xu Mingxi drew the Sun Flame Crow into an attack and trapped it with repeated Moonlight threads despite the heavy strain on his mental strength.
• The Sun Flame Crow and Cold Moon Bird acknowledged Xu Mingxi's success, and the High Priest treated him after he collapsed unconscious.
• The High Priest confirmed that Xu Mingxi had passed the trial, and the Medicine Pestling Rabbit healed him as he rested.

Xu Mingxi entered the third trial in Sun Moon Valley, where a wounded giant tree gave him a fragment and a seed to protect. The fragments fused in his Sea of Consciousness, and their guiding rays led him toward a passage deeper into the cave.

• Xu Mingxi woke after two days of rest, reunited with the Medicine Pestling Rabbit, and learned from the High Priest that he had reached the final trial of the second stage.
• The High Priest led Xu Mingxi to a barren cave and warned him that he could use only starlight inside.
• Xu Mingxi followed a tunnel into a glowing cavern and discovered a giant tree pierced by a weapon.
• The tree recognized Xu Mingxi’s Sun, Moon, and Star energies and Star God Divine Spark, then gave him a fragment and entrusted him with a seed before withering away.
• The two Fragments fused in Xu Mingxi’s Sea of Consciousness, and guiding rays pointed him toward a platform and a passage deeper into the cave.

Xu Mingxi met the Sun God and Moon God, received a black Crystal Ball tied to their inheritance, and left Sun Moon Valley as it faced destruction. He reunited with the Three Elders, while the two Goddesses revealed that they hoped he could use the Blank Divinity to create a new Star God position.

• Xu Mingxi reached the Divine Altar, where the Sun God and Moon God gave him a black Crystal Ball and told him to light it to claim their divine inheritance.
