Chapter Summaries

Gu Sheng weighed Mystic Herb options for Ryoko and Liu Daimei before guiding the four girls through contracts with their chosen Soul Beasts. The contracts granted them an astonishing array of Soul Bones, leaving Gu Sheng comparing their luck with his own.

• Gu Sheng rejected Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone for Ryoko, who chose the Hundred-Thousand-Year Black Jade Divine Bamboo to strengthen her bone-based combat.
• Gu Sheng considered several herbs for Liu Daimei, and she chose Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to improve her combat ability and survival.
• Chu Xin, Mei Daizi, Ryoko, and Liu Daimei contracted with their chosen Soul Beasts under Gu Sheng's guidance, while the plants' roots were replanted in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Ryoko received a precious torso bone, while Chu Xin gained an unusual eye-like External Soul Bone.
• Liu Daimei gained scarlet wing-shaped External Soul Bones, and Mei Daizi received two torso bones and two External Soul Bones.
• Gu Sheng wondered why the girls had received such valuable Soul Bones when his three contracts had only given him limb bones.

Gu Sheng and the four girls gained powerful, evolvable Soul Rings and new abilities, then spent a month adapting to their sudden increases in strength. After leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they prepared to seek suitable soul beasts in Sunset Forest so the girls could continue advancing.

• Gu Sheng watched Mei Daizi, Ryoko, Liu Daimei, and Chu Xin withstand their Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, which could grow stronger as their bodies improved.
• Mei Daizi contracted with Aromatic Silk Beauty, awakened and strengthened her Wood Release, and gained the recovery-support skill Devouring the Heavens and Earth.
• Ryoko’s Shikotsumyaku developed into tougher Black Jade bones, and she gained the long-range weapon skill Black Jade Divine Bamboo Spear; Liu Daimei and Chu Xin also obtained suitable skills.
• Gu Sheng and the girls trained for a month to adapt to their increased Soul Power and control their bodies before pursuing further breakthroughs.
• Gu Sheng and the others left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and set their sights on finding suitable soul beasts in Sunset Forest.

Gu Sheng led his group on a rampage through the Sunset Forest, gathering treasures and provoking powerful soul beasts to seek them out. After abandoning another group of unsuitable Soul Beasts, he decided they were moving too slowly and continued searching for better Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

• Jade Azure Serpent Qing Ling and the newly awakened Ninth Grade Purple Salve got along well, and the Dragon Salve helped Qing Ling's bloodline progress toward becoming a Divine Beast.
• Gu Sheng's group traveled through the Sunset Forest with a snake horde, taking treasures while leaving growing plants able to regenerate.
• The horde's pillaging drove many soul beasts away, and fleeing beasts even transplanted immature spirit herbs before Gu Sheng could reach them.
• Gu Sheng deliberately provoked stronger soul beasts to come after his group, relying on Qing Ling and Ninth Grade Purple Salve to handle the danger.
• After defeating another small Beast Tide, Gu Sheng rejected its three Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts as poor candidates and complained that the group was moving too slowly.

Gu Sheng abandoned searching the forest for a Soul Bone and used the Aromatic Silk Beauty to lure soul beasts toward the valley. The first arrivals were a pack of Ghost Wolves led by two ten-thousand-year-old wolf kings, including a powerful mutant that Gu Sheng recognized as a promising Soul Bone target.

• Gu Sheng explained that tormenting soul beasts to death was unsuitable for high-level targets and decided to lure monsters with Mystic Herbs instead.
• Gu Sheng and his companions returned to the valley near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Little You released its fragrance to attract soul beasts.
• Gu Sheng arranged for the snakes to block weaker beasts while his companions watched the surroundings and he scanned the approaching creatures.
• A pack of Ghost Wolves advanced toward the valley, and Gu Sheng ordered the Mandala Snake to retreat with its pack.
• Gu Sheng identified the two leading wolf kings as ten-thousand-year-old Ghost Wolves and recognized the oversized black wolf as a beneficial mutant with a high chance of producing a Soul Bone.

Gu Sheng identified the Silver Wolf King as a rare Mental Type Soul Beast and ordered the snake pack to attack the wolf pack. As the battle began, Chu Xin exposed the Silver Wolf King's concealed approach, but its seven-colored power twisted around her spiritual strike.

• Gu Sheng warned his group that the Black Wolf and Silver Wolf leading the pack were mutant Soul Beasts, and recognized the Silver Wolf as a rare Mental Type Soul Beast.
• The wolf pack howled and advanced while Gu Sheng decided to strike first, sending the Mandala Snakes and Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent into battle.
• The snakes’ poisonous wind clashed with the Ghost Wolves’ expanding dark bubbles, and Ryoko spotted that the Silver Wolf King had disappeared.
• Gu Sheng directed Chu Xin to search to the left, and Chu Xin used Mind Gaze to locate and attack the concealed Silver Wolf King.
• The Silver Wolf King resisted the spiritual arrow by releasing seven-colored light, which formed a vortex and twisted around Chu Xin’s attack.

Chu Xin, Liu Daimei, Ryoko, and Mei Daizi coordinated their attacks against the Silver Wolf King, Mutated Ghost Wolf King, and Ghost Wolf pack while Gu Sheng watched over the battle. After recovering their strength, Ryoko launched a powerful strike at the Mutated Ghost Wolf King, which narrowly dodged it but injured its claw.

• Chu Xin used her Spirit Soul-enhanced Mental Impact to shatter the Silver Wolf King's Rainbow Vortex and disorient the beast.
• Liu Daimei's Hot-Blooded Surge scorched the wolves' blood and restricted their movements, while Ryoko's Black Jade Divine Bamboo Spear injured the weaker wolves and battered the two kings' fur.
• Mei Daizi activated Devouring the Heavens and Earth, restoring her allies and weakening the enemy wolves as Gu Sheng guarded the battlefield without joining the fight.
• After the wolves were injured and the girls restored their strength, Ryoko launched her Black Jade Divine Bamboo Blade at the Mutated Ghost Wolf King.
• The Mutated Ghost Wolf King deflected the blade with its right claw, badly injuring it, then dodged as the blade crashed into the ground and carved a deep pit.

Ryoko fought the injured Mutated Ghost Wolf King while Gu Sheng separated it from its pack and warned her about its spatial trick. The duel continued with Ryoko holding her own, while the Wolf King remained distracted by Gu Sheng’s presence.

• Ryoko attacked the Mutated Ghost Wolf King with her blade, but its Shadow Clone skill and spatial ability let it evade her and launch a counterattack.
• Gu Sheng spotted the Wolf King’s spatial switch and warned Ryoko, then struck with an ice attack as she dodged its ambush and suffered only minor injuries.
• Ryoko told Gu Sheng not to interfere, and he instead used elemental attacks to isolate the Wolf King from its pack while the snakes and Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent fought the wolves.
• Ryoko and the injured Wolf King exchanged blows, and its concern about Gu Sheng divided its attention and gave Ryoko openings to suppress it.

Liu Daimei, Chu Xin, and Mei Daizi struggled against the Silver Moon Wolf King as Gu Sheng identified its many elemental abilities and advised them to keep fighting carefully. The Wolf King broke through Chu Xin’s Heavenly Turn and blinded her and Liu Daimei with a burst of light, leaving its next attack poised to land.

• Liu Daimei trapped herself in a wave of blood to attack the Silver Wolf King, but it froze the blood and half her body before Mei Daizi’s vines forced it to evade.

• The Wolf King feinted with a blizzard, then attacked Chu Xin and tore through her Heavenly Turn with lightning-enhanced claws.
• The Wolf King blinded Chu Xin and Liu Daimei with a flash of sunlight and charged toward them, but an unexpected turn of events interrupted its advance.

Liu Daimei, Chu Xin, and Mei Daizi trapped and killed the Silver Moon Wolf King, while the Mutated Ghost Wolf King bound Ryoko and fought through their attacks to reach its fallen mate. The wolf king reached the Silver Moon Wolf King as its eyes briefly glimmered, but the chapter left the mate motionless.

• Mei Daizi's vines ensnared the weakened Silver Moon Wolf King and began draining its energy as Liu Daimei and Chu Xin attacked.

• The Ghost Wolf King forced its way through Mei Daizi's vines, taking wounds as it advanced toward Liu Daimei and Chu Xin.
• Liu Daimei moved aside with Chu Xin, allowing the Ghost Wolf King to reach its mate, whose eyes briefly glimmered before it became still again.

Gu Sheng offered the dying Silver Moon Wolf King a chance to live on as Chu Xin’s contracted Soul Spirit, and it accepted. The contract succeeded, but the Mutated Ghost Wolf King became enraged until Gu Sheng and his three Spirit Souls forced it into submission.

• Gu Sheng reminded Chu Xin and Liu Daimei that survival in the Lord God Space demanded strength, not pity.
• Gu Sheng offered the dying Silver Moon Wolf King another way to live, and it agreed to the Soul Spirit Contract.
• Gu Sheng carefully guided the Silver Moon Wolf King’s spiritual essence and Soul Power into a pink halo linked to Chu Xin.
• The Silver Moon Wolf King’s body died as its essence flowed into Chu Xin, prompting the wolves to rise in anger.
• Gu Sheng and his three Spirit Souls released a powerful aura that frightened the Mutated Ghost Wolf King into falling to the ground.

Chu Xin formed a Soul Spirit Contract with the Silver Moon Wolf King and gained a new Soul Ring and mental skill. Gu Sheng tried to contract the Mutated Ghost Wolf King, but it still distrusted Chu Xin, leaving the attempt unresolved.

• The Mutated Ghost Wolf King agreed to try a Soul Spirit Contract, but the contract failed because it still distrusted Chu Xin.
• Gu Sheng asked whether the Mutated Ghost Wolf King wanted to try again, unwilling to kill it unless he had no other choice.

After the Mutated Ghost Wolf King refused to contract with Chu Xin, it chose Ryoko instead, while Gu Sheng negotiated with the wolf pack to secure its help. Gu Sheng’s group continued clearing the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where he unexpectedly obtained a rare torso Soul Bone.

• After three failed attempts to contract the Mutated Ghost Wolf King with Chu Xin, Gu Sheng suggested Ryoko, and the wolf king accepted her.
• Gu Sheng successfully contracted the Mutated Ghost Wolf King to Ryoko, and the Black and White Kings howled farewell to their pack.

• Gu Sheng killed a Ten Thousand Year Crypt Demon Spider and discovered that it had produced a valuable torso Soul Bone.

Gu Sheng identified a Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear as a rare, powerful Soul Beast when it appeared in the valley and intimidated the surrounding beasts. Ryoko attacked it for its potential Soul Bone, but the bear extended its claws toward her as she descended, leaving her in immediate danger.

• A Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear entered the valley, and its presence forced the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, Mandala Snake, and Mutated Ghost Wolf King to retreat.
• Gu Sheng recognized the bear as a top-tier Soul Beast and warned Ryoko that its claws could extend several times their length and tear through space.
• Ryoko charged the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear on the Black Wolf Spirit Soul, swinging her Bone Blade toward its neck.
• The bear hardened its fur and expanded its claws to strike Ryoko in midair, where she had little chance to dodge.

Ryoko used her new wolf-based abilities and spatial teleportation to wound the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, but she could not overcome its formidable defense and combat strength. The battle continued with Ryoko struggling to gain an advantage against the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.

• Ryoko combined Wolf God Phantom Shift, Shape Shift, and Black Jade Divine Bamboo Spear to slash open the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear’s neck, but failed to kill it.
• Ryoko assessed her Mutated Ghost Wolf King Soul Ring and right-leg Soul Bone, whose linked abilities let her switch places with her phantoms.
• The enraged Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear launched a space-rending claw attack, and Ryoko escaped behind it with the Black Wolf Spirit Soul’s teleportation.
• Ryoko struck at the bear’s wounded neck, but it blocked her blade with its right arm and sent her flying.
• Ryoko and the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear continued exchanging attacks, with the bear’s power and defense preventing her from gaining an advantage.

Gu Sheng entered the fight against the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear after Ryoko was wounded, using his Ultimate attributes to suppress and trap it. The bear began breaking free from his earth-based attack as Gu Sheng prepared a freezing strike and a colossal fire dragon.

• Ryoko’s rapid attacks failed to injure the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, and a direct clash shattered her Bone Blade and wounded her arm.
• Gu Sheng called Ryoko back to the formation and approached the bear, whose instincts detected the threat from his three Ultimate attributes.
• Gu Sheng struck the bear with a fireball, but its giant claws blocked the attack without taking significant damage.
• Gu Sheng turned the ground beneath the bear into a swamp, but the bear enlarged its claws and forced itself free.
• Gu Sheng spread Ultimate Ice across the ground, strengthened the earth’s suction, and sent a colossal fire dragon toward the bear.

Gu Sheng and his teammates battled the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, using coordinated attacks to weaken it. Gu Sheng’s experiment combining Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice caused a massive explosion that hurled everyone away, though none suffered serious injuries.

• Gu Sheng used Source Fire, Source Water, and Source Earth to trap the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, while Mei Daizi replenished his energy with her Soul Skill.
• The bear launched its golden claws at Gu Sheng, who raised Earth Flow Walls to slow the attack and dodged it by diving to the ground.

• The wounded bear unleashed a burst of golden energy that broke the group’s attacks and left it standing, exhausted.
• Gu Sheng struck with Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice, which collided and produced a huge explosion that swept everyone and the surrounding forest away.
• Gu Sheng and his teammates recovered and returned to the battlefield without serious injuries.

Ryoko killed the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear after it survived the devastating explosion, then obtained its ten-thousand-year Soul Ring. Liu Daimei resented missing out on the powerful Soul Beast, and Gu Sheng promised to help her find a suitable Soul Beast and Spirit Soul.

• The Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear survived the explosion but was too badly injured to rise.
• Ryoko killed the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear by driving her blade through its head, and the group decided not to attempt a Spirit Soul contract.

• Gu Sheng explained that Mei Daizi would use Plant Spirit Souls and was recovering toward the foundation of a three-ring Soul Elder.
• A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring rose from the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, and Liu Daimei watched Ryoko enviously.

• Gu Sheng dissected the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear and uncovered its External Right Palm Bone.
• Liu Daimei questioned Gu Sheng about the group’s extraordinary run of Soul Bone drops, and he kept quiet.
• Ryoko awoke from absorbing the bear’s Soul Ring at level thirty-three, still short of recovering her former strength.
• Gu Sheng gave the External Right Palm Bone to Ryoko, who thanked him and began fusing it into her right hand.

Gu Sheng met Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan at the restored Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and offered a way to control the backlash from their Azure Serpent Poison. He gave them a ten-thousand-year Six-Headed Dark Lizard Right Arm Bone in exchange for a promise to avoid opposing him and fulfill three tasks, but Dugu Yan offered to serve him instead.

• Gu Sheng restored the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, leaving behind weaker regrown herbs while storing Soul Beasts and treasures in the space inside his mirrors.
• Dugu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan and asked Gu Sheng to help free them from the torment of their snake poison.

• Gu Sheng explained that they could endure the Azure Serpent Poison by improving their physiques or gathering the poison inside a Soul Bone.
• Gu Sheng offered Dugu Yan a ten-thousand-year Six-Headed Dark Lizard Right Arm Bone, and Dugu Yan said she was willing to serve him.
