• Qian Xunji praised the manual’s cultivation theories and recognized Lin Hanye’s talent.
• Ling Yuan explained that Lin Hanye’s theory about martial soul inheritance came from years of research and Spirit Hall records.

• Ning Fengzhi returned with Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who probed Lin Hanye’s Mental Power and praised him.

Tang Hao’s Young Sect Master succession ceremony drew powerful guests from across the continent, but Spirit Hall’s low-ranking representative angered him. Afterward, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi sought to settle the conflict between Tang Hao and Haibodong, offering compensation that included a valuable Soul Bone.

• Tang Yuehua recognized Lin Hanye from seeing him at the Heaven Dou City Auction House, and Tang Hao demanded to know where the girl was.

• Tang Hao reached a large willow tree outside Heaven Dou City, smashed his fists bloody against it, and lamented his defeat.

After Tang Hao lost to Haibodong, he warned Tang Yuehua away from him, but she developed a favorable impression of him. Half a year later, Lin Hanye helped Shao Xin obtain a powerful sixth soul skill, then gave him a mysterious drop of blood to replicate.

• Lin Hanye left Heaven Dou City with Ling Yuan and kept a low profile at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Lin Hanye helped Shao Xin defeat a nearly forty-thousand-year-old Mirror Beast, and Shao Xin obtained the Mirror Sugar Bean skill, which replicated a soul master's soul skills at eighty percent power for five minutes.
• Lin Hanye gave Shao Xin a drop of blood to test the skill, and Shao Xin created a pale silver sugar bean from it.

Lin Hanye demonstrated a blood-based Mirror Sugar Bean to Shao Xin, then accompanied him to Yelin City to seek Han Li’s approval for his marriage to Han Yue. After Shao Xin won Han Li’s test and reunited with Han Yue, Lin Hanye gave them a Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma and left, while Han Xue began to suspect his true identity.

• Lin Hanye let Shao Xin use a Candy Bean made from Tang Hao’s blood, which briefly gave him a Clear Sky Hammer too heavy for him to wield effectively.

• Han Xue heard Shao Xin call Lin Hanye “Old Lin” and began suspecting that Haibodong was the famous Lin Hanye.

• The Rakshasa God appeared and urged Bibi Dong to pursue revenge and claim Lin Hanye for herself, while Bibi Dong's eyes filled with scarlet evil light.

Bibi Dong rejected the Rakshasa God’s inheritance and escaped the Road to Hell, where the Asura God revealed he would not accept her as his successor. After reuniting with Lin Hanye, she gave Ling Yuan the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s inner core, and Lin Hanye explained how Ling Yuan could use it to strengthen her Martial Soul Avatar.

• Bibi Dong resisted the Rakshasa God’s temptation, refused her inheritance, and escaped the Road to Hell.
• The Asura God drove off the Rakshasa God and decided Bibi Dong could not inherit his god position because of her Beast Martial Souls and ties to Spirit Hall.

• Bibi Dong gave Ling Yuan the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent’s inner core, and Lin Hanye advised her to channel its energy into her Seventh Soul Ring.
• Lin Hanye learned that Bibi Dong had reached level 70.

Lin Hanye helped Bibi Dong leave Slaughter City unnoticed and advised her to wait before obtaining her Seventh Soul Ring. Ten days later, Ling Yuan’s strength surged after she absorbed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core, and Bibi Dong demanded that Lin Hanye marry her that night, prompting him to suggest marrying all of them together.

• Lin Hanye told Bibi Dong to wait until she could withstand a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast’s Soul Shock before obtaining her Seventh Soul Ring, and he planned to help her calm her slaughter aura.
• Lin Hanye flew Bibi Dong away from the route guarded by Spirit Hall so they would not alert its forces.
• Ling Yuan transformed into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix after guiding the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core’s energy into her Seventh Soul Ring.
• Ling Yuan told Lin Hanye that her Seventh Soul Ring had reached 85,000 years, her Phoenix Domain had improved, and her Soul Power had risen to level 94.
• Bibi Dong reacted jealously when Ling Yuan embraced Lin Hanye, then reminded him of his promise and demanded they marry that night.
• When Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ling Yuan objected, Lin Hanye asked whether they could all marry together.

After Lin Hanye married Bibi Dong, Ling Yuan, Ah Yin, and Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong became the principal wife. One year later, Lin Hanye broke through to rank 70 and summoned the Million Year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which found itself trapped and facing the threat of becoming his soul ring.

• Bibi Dong defeated Liu Erlong in a fight and was recognized as the principal wife, while the other women agreed to address one another as sisters by age.
• Lin Hanye broke through to rank 70 after refining the Ice Rain Dew from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.
• Lin Hanye chose a God Bestowed Soul Ring and the Million Year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as his rewards, then trapped the silkworm with his Extreme Ice.
• Bibi Dong, Ling Yuan, Ah Yin, and Liu Erlong rushed into the wooden house and discussed the strange soul beast.
• Liu Erlong suggested killing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for Lin Hanye's seventh soul ring, and Ah Yin asked him to make its death quick.

Lin Hanye accepted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s offer to sacrifice itself, despite Bibi Dong and the others’ concerns. As the sacrifice reshaped his soul rings and began forming a Wisdom Skull, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm realized Lin Hanye was not from this world.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm offered to sacrifice itself and grant Lin Hanye a second martial soul, explaining that it could use seals to control its million-year energy.
• Lin Hanye agreed, warned Bibi Dong to kill Sky Dream Ice Silkworm if anything went wrong, and sealed the area with his Ten Thousand Year Ice Prison.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm began its sacrifice, placing seals on itself and directing excess energy into Lin Hanye’s External Soul Bone and first five soul rings.
• Lin Hanye’s Swift Ice Bird External Soul Bone turned blue-gold, his first five soul rings became red, and a deeper red ring and a platinum Head Soul Bone began to form.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm realized during the sacrifice that Lin Hanye was not from this world.

Lin Hanye killed the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm after it read his memories and threatened his secrets, while Bibi Dong devoured its weakened remnant soul. He reassured Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ling Yuan, then sent them to their next tasks as Bibi Dong refined the soul.

• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed that it had expanded Lin Hanye’s Spiritual Sea and raised his seventh Soul Ring to two hundred thousand years, with the potential to reach a million years.
• Lin Hanye attacked the weakened Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with Soul Impact, then used Spirit Sharing to alert Bibi Dong and help her intercept it.
• Bibi Dong summoned the Soul Eating Spider Emperor and devoured the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s remnant soul before beginning to refine it.
• Lin Hanye told Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and Ling Yuan that the soul beast had tried to seize his body, and reassured them that he was safe.
• Lin Hanye proved he had not been possessed by revealing the women’s secrets, then asked Ling Yuan to guard Bibi Dong while Ah Yin and Liu Erlong returned to cultivate.

Lin Hanye assessed the powerful abilities he gained from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s sacrifice and used a simulation to test his plans. The simulation ended with Bibi Dong absorbing a Hundred Thousand Year Death Spider Emperor’s Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

• Lin Hanye examined his level seventy-six Soul Power, Million Year Wisdom Skull, four seals, and the Origin Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had left in his Spiritual Sea.
• Lin Hanye decided not to risk using the Origin to condense a Soul Core and instead reviewed his Mysterious Ice True Body, domains, and Spirit Attribute Heavenly Demon Eye.
• Lin Hanye used his Simulation Opportunity to begin a new simulation.
• Lin Hanye and Ling Yuan subdued a Hundred Thousand Year Death Spider Emperor in Star Dou Great Forest, and Bibi Dong began absorbing its Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

After a ten-year simulation ended with Ah Yin sacrificing herself to save him, Lin Hanye emerged grieving but learned how to condense a Soul Core. He comforted Ah Yin, successfully formed his first Soul Core, and prepared to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with the others.

• In the simulation, Lin Hanye spent years researching Soul Cores and finally condensed one, but Ah Yin sacrificed her soul origin to save him when his body could not withstand its energy.
• After the simulation ended, Lin Hanye declined to choose his rewards and held Ah Yin, shaken by the simulated loss and believing she would make the same sacrifice in reality.
• Three days later, Bibi Dong awoke after refining the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Remnant Soul, and Lin Hanye condensed his first Soul Core, the Extreme Ice Soul Core, with Ah Yin protecting him.
• Lin Hanye emerged after nearly seven days and told Liu Erlong to stay with Ah Yin while the others set off, but Liu Erlong protested that she wanted to go too.
