Chapter Summaries

Li Chang'an transformed the Dragon Valley Small World into the Demon Realm and decided to expand the Demon Clan. He summoned its members to the Demon Ancestor Hall, where the Big Black Cats arrived in human form.

• Li Chang'an spent several hundred years shaping the Dragon Valley Small World into a complete Demon Realm with mountains, attribute-based lands, day and night, seasons, clouds, and rain.
• After completing the Demon Realm's first stage, Li Chang'an decided to expand the Demon Clan, which he believed could grow far faster than Soul Beasts.
• Li Chang'an summoned Mo Ji, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other Demon Clan members to the Demon Ancestor Hall.
• Mo Ji, Zhu Zhuqing, and the Big Black Cats flew to the palace atop the highest mountain, which covered and protected the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• The Big Black Cats transformed into three women and two men who resembled Zhu Zhuqing.

Li Chang'an named five demons and ordered Mo Ji and the others to leave the Demon Realm and recruit new members for the Demon Clan. He sent them into the outside world, where they set out for the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Li Chang'an named the five demons Chasing Wind, Chasing Wave, Bamboo Snow, Bamboo Moon, and Bamboo Flower, earning their unwavering loyalty.
• Mo Ji and the demons entered the great hall and bowed to Li Chang'an, who told them to go outside and enlighten new demons.
• Li Chang'an refused to accompany them and ordered the demons to carry out the mission on their own.
• Li Chang'an sent Mo Ji and the others out of the Demon Realm, where Chasing Wind noticed the outside world's weaker energy.
• Mo Ji led the group toward the Star Dou Great Forest to find talented Soul Beasts and expand the Demon Clan.

Li Chang'an sent Mo Ji and the demons to the Star Dou Great Forest to use the Art of Enlightenment to recruit high-potential Soul Beasts into the Demon Clan. They found an Earth Mountain Dragon in the forest’s inner region, and Mo Ji identified it as their first promising target.

• Li Chang'an watched Mo Ji and the other demons depart, explaining that the Art of Enlightenment awakened beasts and gave them Demon Power.
• Li Chang'an planned to use Douluo Continent’s powerful Soul Beast bloodlines to strengthen the Demon Clan and gain strength through feedback from its members.
• Mo Ji led the demons directly into the forest’s inner region, seeking Soul Beasts with superior bloodlines.
• Mo Ji found a massive dragon-like Soul Beast that she remembered from the forest and identified it as an Earth Mountain Dragon, a wingless True Dragon descended from the Ancient Mountain Dragon.

Mo Ji sent Zhu Zhuqing and her five younger siblings to subdue an eighty-thousand-year Earth Mountain Dragon by defeating it first. Zhu Zhuqing began the fight and countered its opening attacks, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Mo Ji judged the Earth Mountain Dragon a suitable opponent to test the six young demons and explained that it had to be beaten before it could be subdued.
• Zhu Zhuqing volunteered to fight first because the Earth Mountain Dragon was a powerful True Dragon–breed Soul Beast.
• The Earth Mountain Dragon noticed Zhu Zhuqing and attacked with an earth-powered shockwave, a gravity field, and a stomp that shattered the surrounding ground.
• Zhu Zhuqing avoided the opening attacks with her Shadow Stealth Demon Art, then blocked the dragon's tail strike while diverting its force into the ground.

Zhu Zhuqing demonstrated her Shadow Control Demon Art by defeating the Earth Mountain Dragon and leaving it alive. Mo Ji then asked the wounded Soul Beast whether it wanted to live or die.

• The Earth Mountain Dragon’s tail strike failed to move Zhu Zhuqing, and it prepared to attack again.
• Zhu Zhuqing used Shadow Control to immobilize the Earth Mountain Dragon and injure it by driving spikes into its shadow.
• The five little ones watched Zhu Zhuqing’s technique and praised her unique Demon Art.
• Zhu Zhuqing released the Earth Mountain Dragon after weakening it, and its huge body collapsed to the ground.
• Mo Ji approached the Earth Mountain Dragon and asked whether it wanted to live or die.

Mo Ji used the Art of Enlightenment to transform the Earth Mountain Dragon into a demon, and he eagerly joined the Demon Clan. He offered to guide Mo Ji and the others to other Pure-Blooded True Dragon soul beasts.

• Mo Ji explained that she and the other demons had once been soul beasts and offered the Earth Mountain Dragon the chance to become one of them.
• Mo Ji used the Art of Enlightenment to teach the Earth Mountain Dragon about the Demon Clan, and it accepted the Demon Power seed.
• After nine days of transformation, the Earth Mountain Dragon became a Lesser Demon, healed its wounds, and learned to take human form.
• Mo Ji welcomed the newly transformed Earth Mountain Dragon into the Demon Clan, and he said he was glad he no longer feared lightning.
• The Earth Mountain Dragon offered to guide Mo Ji and the others to the Pure-Blooded True Dragon soul beasts it knew.

Mo Ji and the demons sought out Pure-Blooded True Dragon Soul Beasts, defeating them and transforming them into members of the Demon Clan. After recruiting the Mountain Jade Gold Dragon and Hell Demon Dragon Zi Ji, they prepared to seek out another target.

• The Earth Mountain Dragon led Mo Ji and the others to the Mountain Jade Gold Dragon, which refused their offer and fought them.
• The three Snow Moon Flower sisters defeated the Mountain Jade Gold Dragon, and the Earth Mountain Dragon transformed it into a demon after it chose to live.
• The newly transformed Two-Winged Gold Dragon led the group to a gloomy forest and provoked Zi Ji, a Hell Demon Dragon.
• The Earth Mountain Dragon and Two-Winged Gold Dragon defeated Zi Ji, and Mo Ji’s group transformed it into another member of the Demon Clan.

Mo Ji and the demons subdued nine Pure-Blooded True Dragon Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest and converted them into demons. Di Tian discovered their marks had vanished, mistook the loss for a human hunt, and opened a spatial rift to confront the supposed culprits.

• Mo Ji and the other demons subdued eight more Pure-Blooded True Dragons after using the Earth Mountain Dragon as their example, bringing their total to nine.
• The chapter explained that the nine dragon types traced back to the Dragon God and his Nine Great Dragon Kings, and that the Mountain Dragon King had transformed Douluo Star into land for the dragons.
• Mo Ji decided to take the nine newly converted demons to the Demon Realm and report to the Great King.
• Di Tian sensed that the Soul Power marks on all nine Pure-Blooded True Dragons had disappeared and assumed they had been killed by human Soul Masters.
• Enraged by the loss, Di Tian traced the last mark’s disappearance, tore open a spatial rift, and crossed into the place where it had vanished.

After Mo Ji led nine newly recruited Pure-Blooded True Dragons out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian pursued them to retrieve the fallen dragon’s body. The demons stopped to face the approaching Beast God, while Zi Ji wondered whether they could handle him or should flee.

• Di Tian failed to find the fallen Dragon Race Junior’s corpse and sensed that its abductors had left recently.
• Mo Ji led Zhu Zhuqing, the other demons, and nine newly recruited Pure-Blooded True Dragons away on a Demon Cloud.
• Mo Ji sensed a hostile aura pursuing them from the Star Dou Great Forest’s Core Area and stopped the Demon Cloud to meet the newcomer.
• The dragons recognized the approaching aura as belonging to Di Tian, whose bloodline outranked theirs and whose strength was estimated at seven or eight hundred thousand years.
• Zi Ji recalled Di Tian’s past care for her and considered whether the Demon Clan should avoid fighting him.

Di Tian confronted the demons and discovered that the nine True Dragons he thought had been killed were alive and had become demons. He doubted their claim that demons escaped Heavenly Tribulation, while the chapter explained that the Demon Clan's immunity came from Li Chang'an's higher-universe Nine Infants Bloodline and its resistance to Douluo world's rules.

• Di Tian arrived before Mo Ji and the other demons, but his dragon pressure affected only the nine newly arrived True Dragons, who revealed their original forms.
• Di Tian recognized the nine dragons, and Zi Ji asked why he had come; he explained that he had sensed the Soul Power marks he placed on them had vanished.
• Zi Ji told Di Tian that the dragons had become demons and were no longer Soul Beasts under his control or troubled by Heavenly Tribulation.
• Di Tian doubted their claim because Heavenly Tribulation and Soul Rings came from rules imposed on Douluo Star, not from a creature's Bloodline.
• The chapter explained that Li Chang'an's Nine Infants Bloodline came from a higher-level universe and let him establish a Demon Clan system partly immune to Douluo world's rules.

Di Tian tested the Demon Clan in battle, but after Mo Ji’s subordinates fell, he rejected her invitation to join. Mo Ji used time deceleration to gain the advantage and prepared to strike him in the chest.

• Di Tian questioned the Demon Clan’s purpose, and Mo Ji challenged him to defeat her subordinates before he could get answers.
• Di Tian fought the nine Pure-Blooded True Dragons, Zhu Zhuqing, and the six cat demons, then defeated them with spatial imprisonment and Black Dragon Sword strikes.
• Mo Ji praised Di Tian’s strength and invited him to join the Demon Clan, promising freedom from Heavenly Tribulations, but he refused because he believed the Silver Dragon King would lead the Soul Beasts.
• Mo Ji activated time deceleration within a thousand meters, moved to Di Tian’s forehead, and redirected her planned strike from his head to his chest.

Mo Ji wounded Di Tian’s heart with her Supreme Evil Qi, but the Great King ordered her to let him go and avoid a clash with the power protecting him. Di Tian returned to the Core Area and spent three months purging the evil aura and healing his heart.

• Mo Ji used her time-slowing domain to pierce Di Tian’s heart with a phantom tiger claw, leaving Supreme Evil Qi that hindered his recovery.
• Di Tian realized his strength had fallen and prepared to retreat, while the Great King told Mo Ji to let him go and bring the newly born demons back.
• Mo Ji released Di Tian, who fled through a spatial passage to the Core Area as Zhu Zhuqing and the others questioned why she had spared him.
• Bi Ji tried to heal Di Tian while he used his Soul Power to expel the Supreme Evil Qi.
• After three months, Di Tian forced the evil aura from his body and healed his damaged heart.

Di Tian wondered whether the Demon Clan intended to annex the soul beasts and feared the God Realm had trapped his people without a future. Meanwhile, Mo Ji led the demons through the hidden, movable entrance into the Demon Realm, where the newcomers were overwhelmed by its abundant energy.

• Di Tian concluded that the Demon Clan might target the entire soul beast clan, while he viewed transforming into human form as a scheme that weakened the beasts.
• Di Tian hoped the Silver Dragon King would recover and lead the soul beasts against the God Realm, though he doubted the Demon Clan offered a genuine alternative.
• Mo Ji led the demons away from the Star Dou Great Forest and summoned the Demon Realm's hidden Bronze Giant Gate in a deserted valley.
• Mo Ji entered the gate's vortex first, and Zhu Zhuqing, the other demons, and the nine new demons followed her inside.
• The new demons instinctively absorbed the dense Heaven and Earth Energy, and the gate closed and vanished from view.

Mo Ji brought the Nine Dragons to meet Li Chang'an in the Demon Ancestor Hall after they recovered their Demon Power in the Demon Realm. Seeing Li Chang'an’s true Dragon God nature, the Pure-Blooded True Dragons transformed and submitted to him.

• The Nine Dragons entered the Demon Realm and rapidly replenished the Demon Power they had lost during their transformation.
• Mo Ji taught the Nine Dragons the proper etiquette and respectful language for meeting the Great King.
• Mo Ji led the Nine Dragons through the Demon Realm to the Demon Ancestor Hall, where Li Chang'an sat on the throne.
• Li Chang'an told the Nine Dragons to raise their heads, and they perceived his true Dragon God nature through their bloodline.
• The Nine Dragons returned to their true forms and prostrated themselves before Li Chang'an.
• Li Chang'an considered using his Dragon God form to make Di Tian submit, but feared provoking the wounded Silver Dragon King.

Li Chang'an rewarded Mo Ji and the other demons for bringing the Nine Dragons into the Demon Race, then considered how the race could grow strong enough to challenge the Soul Beasts during the fortune surge expected in ten thousand years. The Nine Dragons left the great hall shaken by his presence, and Mo Ji led them to choose places to establish their Cave Dwellings.

• Li Chang'an avoided provoking the Silver Dragon King because a fight could expose the Demon Realm to the God Realm and derail his plans.
• Li Chang'an gave Mo Ji one large Dragon Bone Crystal and granted six smaller crystals to Zhu Zhuqing, her sibling, and the other demons, while telling the Nine Dragons they could earn rewards through cultivation and contributions.
• Li Chang'an reflected that the fortune surge around the Douluo 2 period could let the Demon Race grow powerful and conceal its actions from the God Realm Central Authority.
• The Nine Dragons relaxed after leaving Li Chang'an's hall, and Mo Ji explained that she would help them find suitable places to build their Cave Dwellings.
• Mo Ji chose cultivation grounds suited to the Nine Dragons' attributes, including mountainous terrain for the Earth Mountain Dragon and a swamp for Zi Ji.

Li Chang'an reviewed his students’ records and considered Qian Renxue’s reasons for attending Spirit Academy before going to teach his second class. Meanwhile, Huo Yuqing and Qian Renxue ran late, and Qian Renxue persuaded the hungry Huo Yuqing to consider stopping for breakfast instead of rushing to class.

• Li Chang'an reflected on how Soul Master knowledge had advanced over ten thousand years and reviewed the students’ abilities.
• Li Chang'an wondered whether Qian Renxue had come to Spirit Academy because she was drawn to Huo Yuqing, then put away the roster when the class bell rang.
• Huo Yuqing dragged Qian Renxue toward class, anxious that arriving late would hurt her standing with the teacher.
• Qian Renxue calmly suggested they eat breakfast before class, since they were already late and would likely be punished anyway.
• Huo Yuqing stopped when her stomach growled and began considering skipping class to eat.

Huo Yuqing skipped breakfast with Qian Renxue, then benefited from Teacher Li An’s cultivation lesson and spent six months strengthening her foundation until she reached Soul Power rank twenty. She left Spirit Academy under the pretense of hunting for her Second Soul Ring, concealing that she planned to condense it herself.

• Qian Renxue persuaded Huo Yuqing to skip class briefly so they could eat breakfast, and Teacher Li An let them enter without punishment.
• Teacher Li An taught cultivation techniques that helped Huo Yuqing understand the Nine Yin Manual and improved the students’ knowledge.
• Over the next half year, Huo Yuqing studied diligently and reached Soul Power rank twenty.
• Huo Yuqing told Qian Renxue she needed leave to obtain her Second Soul Ring, and Qian Renxue offered to help hunt for one.
• Huo Yuqing declined Qian Renxue’s help, citing the academy’s free soul-ring assistance, then left while pretending to hunt for a soul beast.

Huo Yuqing secluded herself at Sunset Inn, where she condensed her Second Soul Ring and broke through to level 20. She then raised the ring’s age from ten years to a hundred over ten days, while Li Chang'an secretly watched her progress.

• Huo Yuqing booked a cheap room at Sunset Inn to safely cultivate away from Spirit Academy.
• Teacher Li An secretly followed Huo Yuqing with his Divine Sense and watched her preparations from the academy office.
• Huo Yuqing condensed her Second Soul Ring and broke through to become a Two-Ring Great Soul Master.
• Huo Yuqing decided to increase her Second Soul Ring to a hundred years while leaving her registered First Soul Ring unchanged.
• Li Chang'an approved of Huo Yuqing's caution as she adjusted her Second Soul Ring and drew in Heaven and Earth Energy.
• Ten days later, Huo Yuqing's Second Soul Ring had changed from white to yellow and reached a hundred years.

Huo Yuqing finished transforming her Second Soul Ring, then increased her First Soul Ring to ninety years before returning to Spirit Academy after a month away. She worried about missing classes, and Qian Renxue gave her class notes she had prepared for her.

• Huo Yuqing’s Second Soul Ring finished transforming into a ring of around eight hundred years, and she considered how soul rings could gain age through nurturing or further modification.
• Huo Yuqing expanded her First Soul Ring to ninety years so it remained white and would not attract attention.
• After a month away, Huo Yuqing returned to Spirit Academy, and Qian Renxue and the academy accepted different explanations for her absence.
• Huo Yuqing regretted missing Teacher Li An’s lessons, so Qian Renxue handed her a booklet of class notes.
• Huo Yuqing realized Qian Renxue had prepared the notes for her and felt deeply grateful.

After four years at Spirit Academy, Huo Yuqing had reached rank 39 while Qian Renxue had become a Soul Saint at rank 71. When the academy announced tryouts for the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, Qian Renxue encouraged Huo Yuqing to join her, and they signed up together.

• Huo Yuqing reached rank 39 after four years of cultivation at Spirit Academy.
• Teacher Li An announced that the academy would select students for the All-Continent Soul Master Competition.
• Qian Renxue, now rank 71, said she was interested in competing and persuaded Huo Yuqing to try out as a reserve member.
• After class, Qian Renxue and Huo Yuqing signed up for the selection.
