Gu Yi arrived in Wutan City on the Dou Qi Continent and learned that Xiao Yan was still eleven, before the beginning of his three-year decline. After identifying an opportunity to claim a fragment map connected to the Purifying Lotus Demonic Flame, Gu Yi bought a low-grade Yellow Rank cultivation technique to adapt his cultivation to the new world.

• Gu Yi learned the local language by listening to conversations in Wutan City and discovered that Xiao Yan had reached the tenth stage of Dou Qi at age eleven.

• Gu Yi obtained Ice Spirit Flame Grass and gained 300 points of source energy.
• Gu Yi opened three stone boxes and found the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Wings of the Eagle, and Roar of the Mad Lion.

• Gu Yi recognized that Blood Flame gave him a healing ability to complement his combat-focused skills.

• Gu Yi considered how Blood Flame might develop into a skill capable of healing him through rebirth, and gained 1,500 Source Power after taking the flying technique from Xiao Yan’s fate.
• Gu Yi buried the skeleton, left the cave, and tested Purple Cloud Wings by soaring above the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where mercenaries mistook him for a Dou King or Dou Emperor.

• Gu Yi planned to visit a nearby city’s Alchemist Association to seek an apprenticeship, with the Cloud Sea Sect as an alternative.

Gu Yi found the secluded valley near Dazhu Peak to retrieve the Soul-Devouring Staff and use its power to suppress the Blood-Devouring Pearl. He approached the emerald pool and blocked the staff’s soul attack.

• Gu Yi recalled how he had witnessed Pu Zhi massacre Caomiao Village and later stolen the Blood-Devouring Pearl from Zhang Xiaofan.
• Gu Yi explained that he had kept the pearl sealed because its blood-draining power and ability to stir evil thoughts made it dangerous to use.
• Gu Yi searched Qingyun Mountain for more than half a year to locate the valley containing the Soul-Devouring Staff.
• Gu Yi entered the pool’s three-zhang range, sensed the staff’s attack on his soul, and blocked it.

Gu Yi broke the seal on the Blood-Devouring Pearl, fused it with the Soul-Devouring Staff, and forged the Blood Soul Spear. He left the valley just before Tian Buyi arrived and mistook the devastation for evidence of a demonic cultivator.

• Gu Yi used the Blood-Devouring Pearl to break Divine Monk Puzhi’s seal, then drew blood essence from himself to empower it.
• Gu Yi resisted the Soul-Devouring Staff’s soul attack and brought the two treasures together, letting their powers clash as he began refining them with Blood Flame and Blood Refinement.
• Gu Yi fused the treasures with the Ironwood shaft of his Profound Iron Spear in the Purple Cloud Cauldron, creating the seven-foot Blood Soul Spear.
• Gu Yi tested the spear and noted that its power could consume blood essence and seize souls, though its vicious aura could affect its wielder.
• Gu Yi sensed a powerful aura approaching and vanished; Tian Buyi arrived, saw the ruined pool, and suspected a demonic cultivator was nearby.

Gu Yi returned to Maple Leaf Village carrying the Blood Soul Spear and explained why he had left Nuoding Academy and how he was helping the villagers. He continued training the villagers and quietly strengthening the village’s children, while keeping his plans hidden from Spirit Hall and Tang Hao.

• Gu Yi decided not to return to the Jade Dynasty World for the Book of Heaven, judging its remaining volumes too difficult to obtain for now.
• After graduating early from Nuoding Academy, Gu Yi returned to Maple Leaf Village, where Tang San and Yu Xiaogang felt relieved that he had left.

Gu Yi learned that Xiao Wu had graduated from Nuoding Academy and planned to visit Shrek Academy, while Tang San had already left for Suotuo City. After waiting until Tang Hao’s aura disappeared, Gu Yi flew to a nearby waterfall valley to seek the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

• Old Tom watched Gu Yi lead the villagers in martial arts practice and took pride in Maple Leaf Village’s growing prosperity.
• Xiao Wu returned to Maple Leaf Village, told Gu Yi she had graduated, and proposed they visit the academy Yu Xiaogang recommended.
• Gu Yi realized Tang San’s departure and Tang Hao’s absence might give him a chance to retrieve the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.
• Yu Xiaogang sent Tang San ahead to Suotuo City, hoping his friend would recruit Gu Yi and Xiao Wu into Shrek Academy.
• Gu Yi sensed Tang Hao near Maple Leaf Village, waited until his aura disappeared, then flew to the waterfall valley five days later.

Gu Yi found Ah Yin in the cave behind the waterfall, took the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, and transplanted her to the Cloud Sea Sect. Studying the soul bone, he realized he might be able to absorb soul bones into individual bones in his body, potentially allowing him to wield far more than six.

• Gu Yi entered the hidden chamber behind the waterfall and found Ah Yin, the rebuilding Blue Silver Emperor, growing there.
• Gu Yi retrieved the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden in the chamber wall and stored it in his storage ring.
• Gu Yi transplanted Ah Yin into his medicinal garden at the Cloud Sea Sect and watered her with vital-energy liquid.
• Gu Yi studied the soul bone and found that its internal Soul Power patterns resembled those of soul rings.
• Gu Yi considered controlling the soul bone's energy during absorption so it would attach to one bone in his right leg, potentially letting him absorb up to 206 soul bones.

Gu Yi absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, using Blood Flame to erase its lingering imprint as its life energy strengthened his body and martial souls. The energy triggered a Silver Grade second awakening of his Blood Martial Soul and Bone Martial Soul, and he set out to use the remaining power to break through to the Spirit Martial Realm and attempt an Innate Awakening.

• Gu Yi abandoned the idea of fusing a soul bone into every bone and decided to absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone.

• Gu Yi confirmed that both martial souls had completed a Silver Grade second awakening.
• Gu Yi continued cultivating and tried to use the remaining soul bone energy to reach the Spirit Martial Realm and undergo an Innate Awakening.

Gu Yi broke through to the Spirit Martial Realm, and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone triggered another awakening that transformed his Blood and Bone Martial Souls. After discovering that the two souls could fuse and greatly amplify his power, he decided to stop hiding his strength and seek out a powerful opponent.

• Gu Yi endured the pain of Innate Awakening and transformed his soul power origin qi into True Qi, entering the Spirit Martial Realm.
• His Blood and Bone Martial Souls rose to Gold-grade Awakening, while his blood gained powerful vitality and his bones became exceptionally hard.

• Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin arrived in Suotuo City and spent the day exploring its busy streets.

• Gu Yi revealed that the Myriad Worlds Gate let him bring along others who accepted a soul imprint, and Qing Lin became his first human companion able to travel between worlds.
• Gu Yi and the others watched one fight at Suotuo City's Great Soul Arena, but he found the Soul Ancestor-level combat dull and left to practice spear techniques.
• After staying at a nearby hotel, Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin headed toward Shrek Academy beyond the southern gate.
