• Ye Gege asked about the Unorthodox shelf, and the steward explained that it held methods used by Poison Masters and Blood Cultivators.

The Left Envoy found the Ghost Method, a cultivation technique for soul forms, in the storehouse and decided to practice it while he waited for his body to be completed. He helped Xiao Meier select a cultivation method and Golden Bell Shield, then checked that the Supervisory Left Division remained peaceful.

• The Left Envoy browsed the storehouse’s unorthodox cultivation methods and discovered the Ghost Method, created by Jiang Yue in an Extreme Yin Land for soul forms.
• The Left Envoy took the Ghost Method to practice before his physical body was finished, while wondering whether soul-form cultivation had dangerous drawbacks.

• Xiao Meier thanked the Left Envoy and left with her scrolls, glancing back at him before disappearing around a corner.
• The Left Envoy warned the storehouse steward not to admit anyone without permission and asked whether trouble had come to the Supervisory Left Division; the steward reported that everything was peaceful.
• The Left Envoy left, determined to keep the division safe and prevent any harbingers of misfortune from joining.

The narrator consulted the Heavenly Flame Venerable about whether the Ghost Method was safe to cultivate and learned that it had no lingering side effects. He chose to practice it despite the lack of soul techniques or guidance, and began absorbing Yin Attribute energy in his quiet room, restarting cultivation after two years.

• The narrator brought the Ghost Method to the Heavenly Flame Venerable, who recognized its similarity to the Hall of Souls' methods and confirmed it had no lingering side effects.
• The Heavenly Flame Venerable warned the narrator that switching to soul cultivation would leave him without guidance, texts, or soul Dou Techniques.
• The narrator decided to learn the Ghost Method anyway, reasoning that his low cultivation and two Venerable protectors would keep him safe.
• The narrator studied the Ghost Method for several hours, then began cultivating by forming hand seals and drawing Yin Attribute energy toward his soul.
• The narrator felt his cultivation begin to rise again and realized that a soul body's cultivation revolved around its Soul Origin.

The narrator cultivated his soul body and tried to understand how Soul Power and the Soul Origin grew, then heard a mysterious, pained voice during meditation. Following it to two Golden Runes, he touched the silent one and found a connection to the Snake-People's Holy City.

• The narrator concluded that the Soul Origin was the hub of Soul Power and decided to measure his progress by how much Soul Power he could control.
• He entered a deep cultivation state and steadily absorbed gray mist, but heard a faint, pleading hiss.
• The narrator followed the hissing to two identical Golden Runes, though the left Rune's voice soon fell silent.
• He touched the inactive right Rune with his mind and crossed a vast distance into a golden, sandstorm-filled world.
• The narrator recognized a lake, oasis, and city in the desert as the Snake-People's Holy City.

Nalan Ye entered Cai Lin’s Soul World while cultivating the Ghost Method, then discovered their Shared Life and Death Secret Technique had linked their souls. Cai Lin came through the link and began pouring Soul Power into his Soul World, leaving him in agony and demanding to know what she wanted.

• Nalan Ye saw Cai Lin’s enormous face in a rudimentary version of the Tagor Desert and escaped by severing his consciousness, waking in the quiet room.
• Nalan Ye realized the Soul World had affected him physically and used the Ghost Method to enter it again.
• Nalan Ye found two Golden Runes and understood that his Shared Life and Death Secret Technique linked him to both Cai Lin and the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
• Cai Lin emerged through her Golden Rune and continued sending Soul Power into Nalan Ye’s Soul World, overwhelming him with pressure.
• Nalan Ye warned Cai Lin that their shared life and death meant she would die if he died, then demanded to know what she wanted.

Nalan Ye used the Shared Life and Death secret technique to convince Cai Lin that his short lifespan threatened her own, making her stop tormenting him and leave his Soul World. Back in the Snake-People Holy City, Cai Lin decided to seek her ancestor’s help in breaking the technique and summoned Yue Mei, who revealed that Nalan Ye had offered to help her suppress Cai Lin.

• Nalan Ye told Cai Lin that their shared lifespan was limited by his, persuading her to stop attacking him and let him live long enough to advance.
• Heavenly Flame Venerable entered Nalan Ye’s Soul World, mistook Cai Lin’s retreat for his own intervention, and took the exhausted Nalan Ye to his Courtyard to sleep.
• Cai Lin returned to her Soul World and resolved to consult the Snake-People ancestor about breaking the Heavenly Rank Secret Method.
• Cai Lin summoned Yue Mei to accompany her to the ancestor, and Yue Mei said Nalan Ye had contacted her younger sister Qi Lin with an offer to help suppress Cai Lin.

Cai Lin discovered that Ashes had died after more than thirteen hundred years, and mourned the loss of the elder who had guided her. She then asked Yue Mei about the Soul Fusion Pill needed to merge the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul with her own, learning that a Human Race Sixth-Rank Alchemist had agreed to refine it.

• Cai Lin and Yue Mei entered the underground chamber to visit Ashes, but received no answer.
• Cai Lin opened Ashes's bronze coffin and found that the queen had died, then mourned her before closing the coffin.
• Cai Lin explained that she needed the Soul Fusion Pill to merge the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's soul with her own and gain its memories and abilities.
• Yue Mei told Cai Lin that the Snake-People Tribe had persuaded a nearby Human Race Sixth-Rank Alchemist to refine the pill, which was likely finished by then.

Cai Lin took the Soul Fusion Pill and began merging with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, causing Nalan Ye’s soul to convulse through their Shared Life and Death Secret Technique. After Nalan Ye warned her that either soul’s destruction would kill them all, Cai Lin refused to stop.

• Yue Mei delivered the refined sixth-rank Soul Fusion Pill, and Cai Lin swallowed it before beginning the fusion.
• Nalan Ye questioned Heavenly Flame Venerable about Cai Lin’s ability to reach him through their secret technique, but Heavenly Flame Venerable admitted he knew nothing about its effects or how to block it.
• Nalan Ye’s soul began hurting as the two Golden Runes in his Soul World collided, and he realized Cai Lin was trying to fuse with the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
• Nalan Ye entered Cai Lin’s storm-tossed Soul World and warned her that the destruction of either soul would kill him and then her.
• Cai Lin’s consciousness faltered briefly, but she dispersed her avatar and refused to let Nalan Ye dictate her actions.
