Chapter Summaries

Gu Yi impressed the Jia Ma Imperial Capital Alchemist Guild with his cultivation and exceptional skill refining medicinal liquid. Guild president Fa Ma offered to take him as a disciple, leaving Gu Yi to decide whether to accept.

• Gu Yi refined all five medicinal ingredients into clear, high-quality medicinal liquid and passed the assessment.
• Fa Ma introduced himself as the guild president and asked Gu Yi to take him as his master.

Over four years, Gu Yi cultivated across three worlds, advanced his alchemy and combat abilities, and became far stronger. The Myriad Worlds Gate then connected him to a fourth world, Jade Dynasty World.

• News of eleven-year-old Gu Yi’s talent and alchemy spread across the Jia Ma Empire as Xiao Yan’s Dou Qi vanished and he fell to the ninth stage of Dou Qi.
• Gu Yi studied alchemy under Fa Ma and Cloud Sea Sect elders, combining the knowledge and techniques of both continents.

• Gu Yi connected the Myriad Worlds Gate to a third world, Jade Dynasty World.

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 persuaded Xiao Wu to remain at Nuoding Academy and visit him in Maple Leaf Village, avoiding drawing Tang Hao’s attention.
• Gu Yi taught the villagers basic fist and kicking techniques to repay their kindness, while withholding cultivation methods to protect them.
• Gu Yi secretly improved the village children’s Innate Soul Power by dissolving Essence Cultivation Pills into their well water, then planned to teach them the Basic Meditation Method.

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 absorbed the soul bone into his right leg and used Blood Flame to burn away Blue Silver Emperor's lingering imprint.
• The soul bone's life energy strengthened Gu Yi's blood, bones, and body, pushing his Blood Martial Soul and Bone Martial Soul to a threshold.
• 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 tested his strengthened bones with a knife, then used his Spirit Blood Martial Soul to rapidly heal his injured arm.
• Gu Yi discovered that his Blood and Bone Martial Souls had fused at their origins and could achieve Self-Martial Soul Fusion.
• Gu Yi resolved to reveal his strength and test himself against the top Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent.

Gu Yi brought Xiao Wu and Qing Lin to Suotuo City, where he explained how Qing Lin had become able to travel between worlds and cultivate on the Douluo Continent. After briefly visiting the Great Soul Arena, the trio set out for Shrek Academy the next morning.

• Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin arrived in Suotuo City and spent the day exploring its busy streets.
• The story explained that Gu Yi had rescued Qing Lin in Shimo City, trained her, and helped awaken her Jade-Green Snake Three-Flower Pupils and snake-type Beast Martial Soul.
• 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.

Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin reached Shrek Academy and saw Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing among the applicants. After the academy’s Soul Emperor examiner announced its strict admission rules, the three decided to register, leaving their tests ahead.

• Gu Yi recognized Zhu Zhuqing and spotted Ning Rongrong and Tang San in the queue at Shrek Academy.
• Xiao Wu criticized Yu Xiaogang for recommending the shabby academy, and Tang San grew hostile toward Gu Yi and prepared to attack him with hidden weapons.
• The examiner released his Soul Emperor aura and declared that Shrek accepted only applicants under fourteen with at least level twenty-one Soul Power.
• Tang San put away his hidden weapons and continued toward enrollment, while Xiao Wu chose to stay and see how difficult admission was.
• Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin paid thirty Gold Soul Coins to register for admission.

Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin passed Shrek Academy’s first entrance test, joining Tang San and other powerful applicants on the way to the fourth test. When Gu Yi exposed Dai Mubai’s exaggerated claims about the academy’s graduates, a middle-aged man confronted him, and Gu Yi declared that he had come to challenge the school.

• The old man tested Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin, and Xiao Wu and Qing Lin revealed that they were Soul Elders while Gu Yi demonstrated his Soul Elder aura.
• Dai Mubai led Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, Qing Lin, and Tang San into Shrek Academy, where they were allowed to skip ahead to the fourth test.

• Dai Mubai described Shrek Academy’s strict admissions and claimed one graduate had become Spirit Hall’s youngest elder.

• Gu Yi said he had come to challenge Shrek Academy.

Gu Yi questioned Shrek Academy’s ability to cultivate its students and challenged its teachers to prove the school’s worth. He revealed his formidable Soul Ancestor strength, leaving Zhao Wuji to face him.

• Zhao Wuji defended Shrek Academy by boasting of a former student who had become the second-youngest Soul Emperor in history and was expected to become a Titled Douluo.
• Dai Mubai told Zhao Wuji that Gu Yi’s group had passed the earlier tests, and Zhao Wuji announced that they needed to pass his final assessment to enroll.
• Gu Yi asked about Shrek Academy’s teaching advantages and Mimetic Cultivation Environment, prompting Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing to reconsider whether the academy could help them grow.
• Zhao Wuji cited the academy’s powerful teachers and their ability to help students obtain soul rings, but Gu Yi argued that other academies offered the same or better advantages.
• Dai Mubai accused Gu Yi of causing trouble, and Gu Yi confirmed he had come to challenge Shrek Academy before revealing four soul rings and introducing himself as a level fifty Soul Ancestor.

Gu Yi stunned Shrek Academy with his level-fifty cultivation and unprecedented Soul Ring configuration, then explained that strong physical constitutions allowed soul masters to absorb older Soul Rings. Zhao Wuji rejected Gu Yi’s challenge and prepared to teach him a lesson.

• Zhao Wuji, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others were shocked by Gu Yi’s two Thousand-Year and two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
• Tang San asked Gu Yi to reveal how he had absorbed such powerful Soul Rings, while Xiao Wu scolded him for prying into Gu Yi’s secret.
• Gu Yi explained that stronger physical constitutions let soul masters withstand higher-age Soul Rings, but he concealed how he had strengthened his own body.
• Zhao Wuji transformed, summoned his seven Soul Rings, and declared that he would teach Gu Yi to respect his elders.

Tang Hao discovered that Gu Yi was a level-fifty Soul Ancestor with extraordinary talent and decided to kill him before he could become a threat. Meanwhile, Gu Yi fought Zhao Wuji, who escalated the battle by using his fifth soul skill.

• Tang Hao learned Gu Yi’s true cultivation from his four revealed soul rings and judged him a threat to Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Hao decided to wait until Gu Yi was alone before killing him, wary of witnesses and the hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
• Gu Yi sent Xiao Wu and Qing Lin to the sidelines and began fighting Zhao Wuji with his Blood Soul Spear.
• Gu Yi broke free of Zhao Wuji’s Gravity Enhancement and matched his attacks with powerful spear techniques, even piercing his golden defense.
• Zhao Wuji used his fifth soul skill, Gravity Compression, to drag Gu Yi toward him and force the fight into close quarters.

Gu Yi fought Zhao Wuji at Shrek Academy and defeated the level seventy-six Soul Sage despite being only a level fifty Soul Ancestor. His victory left Ning Rongrong eager to recruit him and deepened Zhu Zhuqing’s contempt for Dai Mubai.

• Gu Yi used Blood Ignition, his Bone Martial Soul, and the Eight Desolations Palm to withstand Zhao Wuji’s attacks and overpower him in a direct clash.
• Gu Yi escaped Zhao Wuji’s gravity restraints with Blood Escape and pierced his defenses with spear techniques, astonishing Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others.

• Ning Rongrong considered recruiting Gu Yi into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while Zhu Zhuqing compared him with Dai Mubai and looked at Dai Mubai with renewed coldness.

Gu Yi defeated Zhao Wuji and revealed strength that made Tang Hao regard him as a growing threat. Tang Hao emerged as a Titled Douluo, terrifying Xiao Wu, while Gu Yi shielded her and Qing Lin.

• Gu Yi explained that his powerful cultivation, martial soul awakenings, and high-quality True Qi had let him defeat Zhao Wuji, and Zhao Wuji admitted defeat.
• Shao Xin healed Zhao Wuji while Dai Mubai explained the fight to Shrek's shocked teachers.

• Zhao Wuji attacked the hidden presence, but a man wielding a huge hammer shattered his soul skill and revealed nine soul rings.
• Xiao Wu trembled at the Titled Douluo's appearance, and Gu Yi shielded her and Qing Lin while facing Tang Hao.

Tang Hao revealed himself as Tang San’s father and attacked Gu Yi, intending to eliminate the growing threat to Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect. Gu Yi held off Tang Hao with his spear, flight, and bow, but Tang Hao’s injuries worsened and he unleashed Divine Slaughter’s Domain to overpower him.

• Zhao Wuji and the Shrek teachers recognized Tang Hao as the Clear Sky Douluo, and Ning Rongrong summoned Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect guards.
• Tang Hao ordered everyone away and pointed his Clear Sky Hammer at Gu Yi, Xiao Wu, and Qing Lin; Tang San recognized him as his father and stepped aside.
• Xiao Wu realized Tang Hao had known she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and urged Gu Yi to flee, but Gu Yi told Qing Lin to protect her and prepared to fight.

• Gu Yi resisted Divine Slaughter's Domain and judged Tang Hao's use of its power to be crude.
• Tang Hao unleashed his soul skills and the Nine Ultimate Clear Sky Techniques, forcing Gu Yi to evade his giant hammer and fight back with the Blood Soul Spear.

• Gu Yi used Blood Burst on his spilled blood to disrupt Tang Hao's Soul Power and aggravate his old injuries.
• While fighting in his enlightenment state, Gu Yi refined his Spear Intent, found weak points in Tang Hao's attacks, and entered the realm of subtle mastery.

• Tang Hao struggled to overcome Gu Yi’s defenses, healing, and unusual Blood Soul Spear, which aggravated Tang Hao’s hidden injuries and weakened him.
• Gu Yi entered the Subtlety Realm and gained better command of the Blood Soul Spear’s powers, using precise strikes to counter Tang Hao’s attacks.
• Tang Hao realized Gu Yi had used him to hone his spear technique and, in a fury, unleashed the Great Sumeru Hammer’s Nine Rings in One.
• Facing Tang Hao’s potentially fatal strike, Gu Yi fused his blood and bone Martial Souls, transforming into the golden Immortal Dharma Body.
