• Gu Yi slaughtered more rioters to gather Killing Intent, and the King of Slaughter opened the Road to Hell for him.

• Gu Yi entered the white space and used its Killing Intent to deepen his understanding of Divine Slaughter's Domain and combine it with his spear techniques.
• Gu Yi awakened in a mountain forest, gained control of his Killing Intent, and resolved to pursue Slaughter Spear Intent before heading toward town to find Xiao Wu and Qing Lin.
• Gu Yi considered the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King as a possible candidate for his seventh soul ring and left the City of Slaughter behind.
• The Asura God watched Gu Yi's journey and decided that Gu Yi was more suited than Tang Chen to inherit his divine position.
• The Asura God recalled Tang San, checked his condition, and discovered that Gu Yi had killed him.

Gu Yi searched the Ice-Sealed Forest for the Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave, hoping to obtain Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow. After finding and harvesting both treasures, he completed the second trial of the Asura God's Trial and received 10% Asura God affinity.

• Gu Yi continued deeper into the underground caves and found ice pillars containing Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• A voice announced that Gu Yi had completed the second Asura God's Trial and rewarded him with 10% Asura God affinity.

Gu Yi received the Asura God’s third trial, which required him to reach level seventy within half a year in exchange for a God-Bestowed Soul Ring. He stayed in the Douluo World to cultivate, and after four months he completed the trial and claimed its rewards.

• Gu Yi learned that mining Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow had completed the second Asura trial, then received the third trial and its God-Bestowed Soul Ring reward.
• Gu Yi decided to remain in the Douluo World for several months and postpone traveling through the Myriad Worlds Gate until after he obtained the reward.
• Gu Yi returned with Qing Lin and Xiao Wu to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where they cultivated for four months.
• Gu Yi refined an ice pillar of Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow into fourth-grade medicinal pills and consumed them to raise his cultivation.
• Gu Yi reached level seventy, completing the third trial and gaining a God-Bestowed Soul Ring and a 10% increase in Asura God affinity.

Gu Yi absorbed the Asura God’s God-Bestowed Soul Ring and raised his seventh Soul Ring to one million years, creating a vast sea of blood. He gained the powerful Blood Sea True Body skill, while the Asura God watched and noted that the ring’s energy had reached its limit.

• Gu Yi crushed the blood-red bead and absorbed its energy, condensing a Hundred-Thousand-Year seventh Soul Ring that continued to grow in age.
• Xiao Wu saw the red Soul Ring and resolved to avenge her mother.
• Gu Yi’s seventh Soul Ring gained nine golden patterns and transformed into a Million-Year Soul Ring, filling the area with a vast sea of blood.
• The Asura God watched Gu Yi withstand the Million-Year Soul Ring’s pressure and reflected that he could not supply enough energy to raise it further.
• Gu Yi withdrew the sea of blood and found that he had gained nearly two thousand drops of essence blood and reached the peak of the sixth layer of the Spirit Martial Realm at Rank 74.
• Gu Yi discovered that his seventh Soul Skill, Blood Sea True Body, greatly enhanced his other skills and let him recover rapidly while the blood sea remained.

Gu Yi gained a powerful seventh soul skill and decided to return to the Nine Heavens Continent before the Cloud Sea Sect was destroyed. To hide his absence from the Asura God, he created a Blood Shadow Avatar to keep cultivating at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Gu Yi assessed how his new seventh soul skill, Blood Sea True Body, strengthened his fighting and survival abilities, though he still lacked the soul mastery needed for Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.
• The Asura God gave Gu Yi a fourth trial: kill any Fierce Beast on the Douluo Continent within one year for 10% Asura God affinity.
• Gu Yi decided to pause the trials and return to the Nine Heavens Continent, since the Cloud Sea Sect's destruction was approaching and the affinity reward would not help him inherit the divine position soon enough.
• Gu Yi used fifty drops of blood essence and his newly deduced Blood Body Secret Art to create a temporary Blood Shadow Avatar.
• Gu Yi planned for the avatar to remain in seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well so the Asura God would not suspect that Gu Yi had left.

Gu Yi returned to the Cloud Sea Sect with Qing Lin and Xiao Wu, transforming them to adapt to the Nine Heavens Continent and discussing their cultivation paths. After they encountered Liu Fei at First Line Sky, Gu Yi revealed that he had reached the Spirit Martial Realm and planned to introduce the girls to the Young Sect Master.

• Gu Yi used source power to deeply transform Qing Lin and Xiao Wu so they could cultivate on the Nine Heavens Continent.
• Xiao Wu chose to switch to Nine Heavens Martial Dao, while Qing Lin decided to focus on dou qi cultivation and use the Soul Ring System as a supplement.
• Gu Yi warned the girls not to reveal the Douluo and Dou Qi worlds and explained their fabricated backgrounds before leaving the room with them.
• Liu Fei emerged from the hot spring and prepared to attack the intruders, but recognized Gu Yi and greeted him.
• Gu Yi introduced Qing Lin and Xiao Wu as friends from Black Wind Ridge who wanted to join the Cloud Sea Sect, and Liu Fei noticed their cultivation was stronger than hers.
• Gu Yi told Liu Fei he had entered the Spirit Martial Realm and said he would take the girls to meet the Young Sect Master.

Gu Yi gave Liu Fei two High-grade Spirit Pills, which helped her reach the Spirit Martial Realm and awaken her arrow martial soul. He then visited Elder Bei and revealed that an inheritance from an expert beyond the Heavenly Martial Realm had enabled his rapid cultivation progress, leaving Elder Bei shocked by its possible connection to the Cloud Sea Sect’s own inheritance.

• Gu Yi gave Liu Fei two High-grade Spirit Pills and explained how to break through to the Spirit Martial Realm and undergo Innate Awakening.
• Liu Fei absorbed the pills’ medicinal power, advanced to the ninth level of the Qi Martial Realm, and then broke through to the first level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
• Liu Fei endured her arrow martial soul’s Innate Awakening, improving its quality, while Xiao Wu began cultivating the Nine Heavens Martial Dao under Gu Yi’s guidance.
• After Xiao Wu awoke, Gu Yi went to Star Pavilion alone while Liu Fei offered to handle Qing Lin and Xiao Wu joining the Cloud Sea Sect.
• Elder Bei sensed Gu Yi’s sixth-level Spirit Martial Realm cultivation and examined him, then relaxed after confirming his foundation was stable.
• Gu Yi told Elder Bei that he had obtained an inheritance from an expert beyond the Heavenly Martial Realm, which might be connected to the Cloud Sea Sect’s guarded inheritance.

Gu Yi convinced Elder Bei and Elder Kong that he had discovered an inheritance linked to a Flame Emperor, prompting them to reveal the Cloud Sea Sect’s hidden ancient cave dwelling beneath Heavenly Chasm Cliff. He reached the Golden Jade Gate guarding the inheritance and began attacking it, knowing how to open it.

• Elder Bei flew with Gu Yi to Heavenly Chasm Cliff, where Elder Kong recognized Gu Yi’s concealed cultivation.
• Gu Yi told the elders that he had refined an azure flame and learned of a Flame Emperor’s inheritance near the Cloud Sea Sect.
• Elder Bei and Elder Kong decided to trust Gu Yi and revealed the ancient cave dwelling hidden beneath the cliff.
• The elders brought Gu Yi into the cave, showed him its treasures, and explained that no one had opened the Golden Jade Gate in a thousand years.
• Gu Yi summoned the Blood Soul Spear and unleashed a barrage of spear shadows against the Golden Jade Gate.

Gu Yi broke through the Golden Jade Gate and entered the ancient path beyond, where he discovered and cultivated the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Devil Art. He completed the Buddha-Devil Body and absorbed the statue’s intent realm, while Elder Bei and Elder Kong waited outside.

• Gu Yi timed his spear strikes to overcome the Golden Jade Gate’s rebounding force, shattered the gate, and collected its fragments.
• Gu Yi warned Elder Bei and Elder Kong that the ancient path contained an illusion array and a killing array, then entered alone to break through them.
• Gu Yi resisted the array’s attacks and glimpsed a Buddha-Devil Statue whose demonic patterns revealed a body-refining cultivation art.
• Gu Yi cultivated the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Devil Art, circulating Buddha-Devil Power through his body and forming a golden-and-black pattern on his skin.
• The Buddha-Devil Statue merged with Gu Yi’s tattoo, and its intent realm entered his mind, completing the Buddha-Devil Body.

Gu Yi cultivated the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Devil Art, greatly strengthening his body and improving his martial souls before breaking the cave’s formation. He warned Elder Bei and Elder Kong not to disturb the statue sealing the Flame Emperor, then left through a hidden passage toward Black Wind Ridge, thinking of Xue Linglong.

• Gu Yi cultivated the Nine Revolutions Buddha-Devil Art until its power reached 3,200 strands, strengthening his body and improving his Demon Blood and Buddha Bone martial souls.
• Gu Yi destroyed the formation core, revealing an ancient hall and a Buddha-Devil Statue sealing the Flame Emperor’s Small World.
• Gu Yi told Elder Bei and Elder Kong that the statue must not be moved until they were strong enough to handle the consequences.
• Gu Yi explained that he had inherited a high-grade Earth-tier body-tempering art from the expert who sealed the Flame Emperor.
• Elder Kong agreed to seal the cave again, while Gu Yi stayed behind to comprehend the statue before leaving through a hidden passage into Black Wind Ridge.

Gu Yi studied three Profound-grade spear techniques before leaving the Inheritance Land and encountering Xue Linglong in the depths of Black Wind Ridge. Xue Linglong offered to guide him out, and Gu Yi named her Gu Qingcheng as they prepared to leave together.

• Gu Yi selected Swift Wind Spear, Soul Severing Spear, and Star Chasing Spear, then cultivated each to Minor Accomplishment.
• Gu Yi emerged from the passage on a mountaintop and sealed its entrance before sensing Xue Linglong nearby.
• Gu Yi and Xue Linglong introduced themselves, and she told him that she and her mother had lived in Black Wind Ridge since her childhood.
• Gu Yi asked Xue Linglong which way led to Cloud Sea Sect, and she offered to guide him safely out of Black Wind Ridge.
• Gu Yi asked what he should call Xue Linglong and named her Gu Qingcheng, a name she happily accepted.

Gu Yi brought Gu Qingcheng out of Black Wind Ridge and back to the Cloud Sea Sect, where they encountered Lin Feng being beaten in Wind and Cloud Gorge. After saving him, Gu Yi wondered whether the transmigrating soul destined for Lin Feng would still arrive in his body.

• Gu Qingcheng left Black Wind Ridge with Gu Yi, and they returned to the Cloud Sea Sect together.
• Gu Qingcheng concealed her face as the sect disciples stared at her, and Gu Yi led her toward First Line Sky.
• Gu Yi saw four outer sect disciples beating Lin Feng in Wind and Cloud Gorge and recognized him as the local native whose transmigrating soul had not yet arrived.
• Gu Yi knocked Lin Heng and the others away, gave Lin Feng a healing pill, and told him to leave the gorge until he was stronger.
• Lin Feng left for the mountain forest, and Gu Yi considered how saving him might change the transmigration and the story’s future.

After surviving Lin Heng’s attack at the Cloud Sea Sect, Lin Feng fled toward Yangzhou City, but Lin Heng pursued him and drove him off a cliff. Lin Heng found Lin Feng’s apparently dead body and left, unaware that a soul from another world had merged with it and begun healing his injuries.

• Lin Feng feared Lin Heng would attack him again, so he left the Cloud Sea Sect for Yangzhou City to seek protection from his father, Lin Hai.
• Lin Heng learned Lin Feng had departed, disguised his own departure as training, and secretly pursued him.
• After nine days, Lin Heng caught Lin Feng in the mountains outside Yangzhou City and demanded that he cripple his dantian.
• Lin Feng refused and jumped from a cliff, vowing revenge if he survived.
• Lin Heng found Lin Feng’s bloodied, apparently lifeless body and returned to the Cloud Sea Sect.
• After Lin Heng left, a soul from another world merged with Lin Feng’s corpse, and strange energy began healing his injuries.
