Chapter Summaries

After learning that the Beastman Continent lay beyond the Moonlight Treasure Box’s reach, Xiao Xie moved the Dou Qi Continent into a new universe he created in the Chaos World. He then traveled across the Hell Plane, where he learned the name and strength of the next city’s lord.

• Xiao Xiao explained that Xiao Xie had arrived in the Beastman Continent at a different point in time, and the Moonlight Treasure Box could not reach it.
• Xiao Xie entered the Hell Plane and decided to return to the Dou Qi Continent to protect Xiao Yi Xian and the others in the Chaos World.
• Xiao Xie used the Infinite Tsukuyomi and his avatars to move the Dou Qi Continent and its surrounding land into a new universe called the Dou Qi Universe.
• Xiao Xie traveled aboard Flying Dragon toward Gold Soul City and learned that its lord, Gold Soul Demon, was a Seven Star Demon skilled in soul attacks.
• Xiao Xie judged that he could defeat ordinary Great Perfection experts but still could not overcome a Sovereign with his current strength.

Xiao Xie brought Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing to Gold Soul City, where he visited Black Stone Castle and settled into an inn for the night. He summoned Xiao Yi Xian, Xun Er, and the others, and Xun Er happily reunited with him.

• Xiao Xie considered how difficult it would be to defeat the Light Sovereign and obtain a Chief Godhead, while Leng Ru Bing continued to stay close to Beirut without asking about the godheads.
• Xiao Xie and his companions arrived in Gold Soul City after traveling for more than half a day.
• Xiao Xie led Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing to Black Stone Castle, where they bought divine godheads and rare treasures.
• Xiao Xie rented an independent manor for the night and sent Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing into the Kamui Universe.
• Xiao Xie summoned Xiao Yi Xian, Xun Er, and the others from the Dou Qi Universe, and Xun Er embraced him and told him she had missed him.

Xiao Xie took Xun Er and the others to Gold Gold Restaurant, where the Hell Plane’s powerful inhabitants treated him with special respect as a Seven Star Demon. Seeing the lavish food made from Saint Beast and divine beast meat, Xiao Yi Xian realized how dangerous Xiao Xie’s life had been and comforted him, while he insisted that he was fine.

• Xiao Xie woke Xun Er and the others, who blamed him for letting them sleep until noon after their late night together.
• Xiao Xie took the women to Gold Gold Restaurant instead of Blood Peak Castle.
• Jin Pangzi recognized Xiao Xie’s Seven Star Demon badge and escorted the group to the restaurant’s supreme private room.
• Xun Er noticed that the dishes were made from Saint Beast and divine beast meat, and Xiao Yi Xian imagined the hardship Xiao Xie had faced alone in the Hell Plane.
• Xiao Yi Xian cried as she told Xiao Xie she understood how many dangers he must have overcome, and Xiao Xie comforted her and reassured the others.

After returning from Gold Soul City with Xun Er and the others, Xiao Xie learned about the city’s hundred-thousand-year Soul Hunt and decided to seek Soul Stones in Ghost Soul Valley to strengthen his soul. He arrived at the valley with tens of thousands of powerful participants gathered outside its barrier.

• Xun Er and the others returned to the Dou Qi Continent and entered secluded cultivation after realizing how weak they were.
• A Golden Armor Guard delivered the City Lord’s invitation for Xiao Xie to join the Soul Hunt in Ghost Soul Valley.
• The guard explained that Soul Beasts formed from ancient Remnant Souls, threatened Gold Soul City, and carried Soul Stones containing pure Soul Power.
• Xiao Xie accepted the invitation because he wanted Soul Stones to improve his Soul Power.
• Half a month later, Xiao Xie arrived at Ghost Soul Valley, where tens of thousands of participants had gathered and only experts at the level of Five-Star Devils or stronger dared enter.

Xiao Xie entered Ghost Soul Valley for the once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years Soul Hunt and discovered that the valley was an independent plane filled with dense Soul Power. After killing a Soul Beast and obtaining a Soul Stone, he looked toward the valley’s depths, eager to hunt for more.

• The Gold Soul City Lord warned the gathered experts to stay within their limits and announced that the Soul Hunt would last one month.
• The Gold Soul City Lord led his subordinates into Ghost Soul Valley, and Xiao Xie and the other experts followed.
• Xiao Xie sensed that Ghost Soul Valley was an independent plane likely opened by a powerful Sovereign, with Soul Power in its air.
• A giant python-like Soul Beast attacked Xiao Xie, who crushed it with a golden palm and collected its Soul Stone.
• Xiao Xie examined the Soul Stone’s Soul Force and turned his attention toward the depths of Ghost Soul Valley.

Xiao Xie drew millions of Soul Beasts to his position and had Ikaros and one hundred thousand Angel Battle Maids slaughter them for their Soul Stones. After nearly a hundred large-scale hunts depleted the area around Ghost Soul Valley’s central region, he entered the central region alone.

• Xiao Xie cleared the mist with the Supreme Yin Banana Fan, summoned Ikaros and the Angel Battle Maids, and released his Soul Power to lure nearby Soul Beasts.
• Ikaros arranged the Angel Battle Maids into a defensive formation as millions of Soul Beasts charged toward Xiao Xie.
• The Angel Battle Maids shot down the entire swarm in less than half a shichen, and Ikaros led half of them to gather Soul Stones and bullets.
• Xiao Xie realized that the Soul Beasts’ remains produced the valley’s white mist, then moved to another location to continue hunting.
• Over the next half month, Xiao Xie carried out nearly a hundred hunts, killing hundreds of millions of Soul Beasts and finding mostly damaged Ancient Battlefield items.
• After his latest hunt yielded far fewer Soul Beasts, Xiao Xie decided to leave the depleted area and entered the central region of Ghost Soul Valley alone.

Xiao Xie entered the Soul Realm and confronted its ruler, the Soul Emperor, after learning how intelligent Soul Spirits differed from the beasts he had been hunting. He shrugged off the Soul Emperor’s attack and powered up for their fight.

• Xiao Xie found the Soul Palace, controlled two crocodile-man Soul Spirit guards, and learned that awakened Soul Beasts became Soul Spirits living in the Soul Realm.
• Xiao Xie went to the Soul Palace Great Hall and recognized the Soul Emperor and his court as resembling figures from Hueco Mundo in Bleach.
• The Soul Emperor attacked Xiao Xie with a White Bone Spear, but it shattered against Xiao Xie’s Profound Crystal Armor without harming him.
• The Soul Emperor revealed that he possessed offensive and defensive Chief God Artifacts, and Xiao Xie challenged him to fight.
• Xiao Xie transformed into Four Gods Super Saiyan and activated the Eight Gates Formation Array, greatly increasing his aura.

Xiao Xie overwhelmed the Soul Emperor, captured him and the Four Great Soul Spirits, and refined them into puppet servants. He discovered that the Soul Emperor had possessed a Death-type Great Perfection Divine Spark and wondered what had killed its former owner.

• Xiao Xie activated the Eight Gates Formation Array and beat the Soul Emperor so swiftly that the Four Great Soul Spirits could not follow his movements.
• Xiao Xie demanded that the Four Great Soul Spirits submit or die, then captured them in the Puppet Gourd after they surrendered.
• Xiao Xie found the severely injured Soul Emperor and stored him in the Puppet Gourd.
• Xiao Xie spent seven days refining the Soul Emperor and the Four Great Soul Spirits into puppet servants as the Soul Hunt ended and the Soul Realm entrance was sealed.
• Xiao Xie examined the Death-type Great Perfection Divine Spark taken from the Soul Emperor and concluded that its former owner may have been killed by a Chief God.

Xiao Xie stored a Death-type Great Perfection godhead after lamenting that it could not help one of his elemental Clones reach Great Perfection. He then revealed that his experiment had created the Ten Espada, the strongest guards among the soul spirits he had evolved in the Soul Realm.

• Xiao Xie regretted that the Great Perfection godhead he had found was Death-type rather than one of the four elemental types, and he stored it in the Worship Space.
• Over the next month, Xiao Xie used the Hogyoku and the Soul Stones from slaughtered Soul Beasts to evolve one million remaining Soul Beasts into intelligent soul spirits capable of taking human form.
• Xiao Xie named the 173 soul spirits at Seven Star Demon strength or higher Espada, and designated the strongest ten as the Ten Espada and his guards.
• The Ten Espada knelt before Xiao Xie in the Soul Palace Great Hall, then rose and took their places beside his throne.

Xiao Xie moved part of the Soul Realm and a million soul spirits into the Chaos World, then left to continue traveling through the Hell Plane. After his Soul Power advanced, he arrived with Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing at an unmarked city called Gambling City.

• Xiao Xie and his ten Clones moved part of the Soul Realm and one million soul spirits into the Chaos World, where he created the Soul Realm Universe and a planet for them.
• After Xiao Xie left the Soul Realm, newborn Soul Beasts emerged and began killing and devouring one another.
• Xiao Xie refined tens of thousands of high-quality Soul Stones over half a month, raising his Soul Power to the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
• After a month of travel aboard the Flying Dragon, Bai Suzhen spotted an unmarked city ahead, and Xiao Xie decided to investigate.
• Xiao Xie, Bai Suzhen, and Xiao Qing entered Gambling City, where Xiao Xie planned to use his Luck Controller ability to win.

Xiao Xie, Xiao Qing, and Bai Suzhen visited Stone Street in Gambling City to try gambling on Demon Sealing Stones. They watched a stall owner begin opening a blue-green stone chosen by an Eagle-Headed Man.

• Xiao Qing persuaded Xiao Xie and Bai Suzhen to visit Stone Street after they ate for free by winning wagers at a restaurant.
• Xiao Xie and the others learned that Demon Sealing Stones formed from dead Demon Sealing Worms could contain valuable treasures and blocked soul perception.
• Xiao Qing spotted a crowd watching a stone being opened and hurried over with Xiao Xie and Bai Suzhen.
• An Eagle-Headed Man gave a ball-sized, blue-green Demon Sealing Stone to its stall owner, while spectators debated its chances of containing anything valuable.
• The stall owner began carefully cutting the hard Demon Sealing Stone with a wooden knife.

Xiao Xie watched an Eagle-Headed Man win a Water High-Rank Godhead from a Demon Sealing Stone and let Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen choose stones for fun. Guided by his Luck Controller ability, Xiao Xie found a remote stall and questioned its owner about the stones’ origins.

• The stall owner used a Kaiyang wooden knife to open the Eagle-Headed Man’s Demon Sealing Stone and uncovered a Water High-Rank Godhead.
• The Eagle-Headed Man celebrated his fortune, and excited customers crowded the stall to buy more Demon Sealing Stones.
• Xiao Qing suggested that she and Xiao Xie buy stones, so Xiao Xie let her and Bai Suzhen choose some for fun.
• Xiao Xie used his Luck Controller ability to guide himself south to a small stall run by a Lava Demon.
• Xiao Xie asked the Lava Demon whether his claim that the stones came from an ancient Netherworld ruin was reliable.

Xiao Xie learned that Gambling City could travel between planes, then bought every Demon Sealing Stone at a stall after his Luck Controller revealed that one held something extraordinary. He returned to his rented estate and began cutting open the stones, leaving the largest one unopened.

• The Lava Demon told Xiao Xie that Gambling City traveled to other planes every ten thousand years and that its City Lord, Blake, was a lightning-element Great Perfection expert.
• Xiao Xie's Luck Controller exhausted all the luck stored in his body while identifying the most valuable Demon Sealing Stone, and the pebble he tested shattered.
• Xiao Xie bought the Lava Demon's entire collection for ten million Ink Stones and received a Kaiyang Wood Knife as a gift.
• The Lava Demon fled after the sale, knowing his stones came from an abandoned cave and were worth far less than he had charged.
• Xiao Xie reunited with Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen, rented an estate, and began cutting open the Demon Sealing Stones, leaving the largest one for last.

Xiao Xie uncovered the corpse of the Nether Empress Yun Yao inside the final Demon Sealing Stone and refined her into a Hell Path Avatar. Yun Yao recalled how her sister Yun Fei betrayed her, and she explained why she no longer wanted revenge.

• Xiao Xie found a silver-haired female corpse with a Dark Element Great Perfection divine spark and a dagger through her heart inside the final Demon Sealing Stone.
• Xiao Xie brought the corpse into the Worship Space and decided to replace the Lion Camel Clone with her as the Hell Path Avatar.
• After three months of refinement, Yun Yao awakened as Xiao Xie's loyal avatar and greeted him as her master.
• Yun Yao told Xiao Xie that her sister Yun Fei stabbed her with the White Vein Dagger while they bathed, after an enemy stoked Yun Fei's jealousy.
• Yun Yao refused to seek revenge, believing Yun Fei had likely suffered terribly after Yun Yao's death.

Xiao Xie welcomed Yun Yao as a comrade, then used his birthday lottery and received a one-hundred-year travel ticket to the Shrouding the Heavens world. He learned that the Chaos World could grow by devouring other worlds’ origins and decided to pursue that path as another way to strengthen himself.

• Xiao Xie took Yun Yao’s hand and welcomed her as a comrade before bringing her into the Kamui Universe.
• Xiao Xie summoned Xiao Xiao and teased her before drawing his birthday lottery.
• Xiao Xie won a one-hundred-year Shrouding the Heavens World Travel Ticket and judged the world’s level too low to be especially useful.
• Xiao Xie asked Xiao Xiao whether the Chaos World could devour other worlds, and she confirmed it could potentially evolve into a Great Thousand World.
• Xiao Xie decided to develop the Chaos World as an additional way to increase his power.

Xiao Xie traveled to the world of Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty to test whether the Chaos World could devour a Small Thousand World, sealing his power to avoid destroying it. He arrived in Yangzhou and considered training local women as maids, while Shi Long remained baffled by the unreadable Longevity Art.

• Xiao Xie chose the world of Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty for a three-year experiment and used its World Travel Ticket to travel there.
• After arriving in Yangzhou City, Xiao Xie sealed his cultivation at the Great Grandmaster level because his full power could shatter the Small Thousand World.
• Xiao Xie decided against summoning his Battle Maids and instead considered personally training maids in this world.
• Shi Long continued studying the oracle-bone-script Longevity Art after ten years without making progress.

Xiao Xie took the Longevity Art from Shi Long and explained that it was only an entry-level Qi Refining technique. He then went to Yangzhou’s South Gate Market, where he noticed Wei Zhenzhen and considered making her his maid.

• Xiao Xie appeared in Shi Long’s sitting room and took the Longevity Art from him without being noticed.
• Xiao Xie read the Longevity Art and judged it to be a simplified, entry-level Qi Refining technique.
• Shi Long tried to challenge Xiao Xie, but fear of Xiao Xie’s power made him let him leave with the manual.
• After Xiao Xie left, Shi Long collapsed and reflected on how terrifying he was.
• Xiao Xie arrived at Yangzhou’s South Gate Market and watched Wei Zhenzhen selling buns, thinking she would make a suitable maid.

Xiao Xie bought Wei Zhenzhen’s freedom from Old Feng and offered her a place as his personal maid, which she accepted. He planned to leave Yangzhou soon but stayed to wait for Fu Junzhuo and Yuwen Huaji to appear.

• Xiao Xie threw a gold ingot to Old Feng’s stall and declared that he would take Wei Zhenzhen, prompting Old Feng’s wife to hand over her indenture contract.
• Xiao Xie tore up Wei Zhenzhen’s contract and offered her money or a position as his personal maid.
• Wei Zhenzhen chose to serve Xiao Xie because she had nowhere safe to return and feared her father would sell her again.
• Xiao Xie brought Wei Zhenzhen to his small rented house and explained they would leave Yangzhou in a couple of days.
• Xiao Xie stayed in Yangzhou while waiting for Yuwen Huaji and, more specifically, Fu Junzhuo.

Xiao Xie taught Wei Zhenzhen three Martial Arts techniques and used a spiritual pill to give her a century's worth of Innate True Qi. He left her to bathe after explaining that the black filth on her body was expelled impurities, and said he would help her reach the Grandmaster realm once she adapted to her new strength.

• Xiao Xie led Wei Zhenzhen into a room and prepared a bath for her.
• Xiao Xie imprinted the third diagram of the Longevity Art, Ethereal Swordplay, and Ethereal Fairy Dance into Wei Zhenzhen's mind.
• Xiao Xie gave Wei Zhenzhen a fourth-grade spiritual pill and guided her in refining it into water-attributed Innate True Qi.
• Xiao Xie told Wei Zhenzhen that her century's worth of Innate True Qi and new techniques let her contend with Grandmaster martial artists.
• Wei Zhenzhen saw black filth covering her body, and Xiao Xie reassured her that it was expelled impurities and told her to bathe.

Wei Zhenzhen woke beside Xiao Xie, who gave her a fine dress, while Yuwen Huaji confronted Shi Long over the Longevity Art. After learning Xiao Xie had taken it, Yuwen Huaji ordered his soldiers to search the city for him.

• Wei Zhenzhen woke and told Xiao Xie she was used to rising early to make buns.
• Xiao Xie gave Wei Zhenzhen a silk dress, and she changed into it.
• Yuwen Huaji visited Shi Long and demanded the Longevity Art for Emperor Yang of Sui.
• Shi Long told Yuwen Huaji that Xiao Xie had taken the Longevity Art the day before.
• Yuwen Huaji ordered his soldiers to search the city for Xiao Xie, describing his robe and Jade Flute.
