Gu Sheng and Bai Xiuxiu sailed toward another continent using a chart of sea-beast territories. As they hurried across the Demon Whale Sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared from the depths, and the waters began to churn behind them.

• Bai Xiuxiu gave Gu Sheng a Soul Tool filled with books and a nautical chart marking the sea regions ruled by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast clans.
• Gu Sheng checked their route, and Bai Xiuxiu summoned a clan of Sharp-Tooth Sharks to tow the Ironwood while she lounged on deck.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King roared behind them, and the sea began to churn with spreading waves.

• Bai Xiuxiu explained that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King dominated the Demon Whale Sea and warned Gu Sheng to flee from it.

• Bai Xiuxiu identified the approaching creature as an Evil Orca.

Gu Sheng’s group encountered a lone forty-thousand-year-old Evil Spirit Orca, which Bai Xiuxiu recognized as an old enemy with a powerful mental attack.

• The Orca recognized Bai Xiuxiu’s aura and charged toward the Ironwood, firing a powerful water cannon at the ship.
• Bai Xiuxiu blocked the water cannon with a wave and collided with the Orca, then trapped it in a whirlpool that its attacks could not break.

• After two hours, the dark-red radiance receded from Chu Xin, and a light flickered at the Evil Spirit Orca's tail.

• Mr. Larman accepted only the agreed tuition of one gold coin per month and departed after praising their rapid progress.

He also discovered local legends about dragons and an ominous forbidden forest, leaving him with a clearer picture of the continent’s dangers and potential.

Gu Sheng and his companions entered the Evil Forest to find powerful Evil Eyes, especially members of the Evil Emperor’s pure spiritual lineage. Deep in the forest, Gu Sheng sensed a familiar spiritual disturbance and led them toward a rampaging, Tyrant Dragon-like Soul Beast.

• Gu Sheng and his companions entered the Evil Forest and cautiously headed toward its core while Mei Daizi used her Wood Release martial soul to communicate with plants.

• Gu Sheng sensed a chaotic spiritual aura and familiar fluctuation ahead, then led the others toward the disturbance.
• The group spotted a massive, dark-blue-scaled Soul Beast with short upper limbs, sharp claws, and a long tail destroying the area.

• Gu Sheng formed a powerful devouring vortex that dragged the struggling Devouring Dragon toward him.

• A blood-red vortex appeared beneath Liu Daimei and swallowed the Devouring Dragon’s shattered corpse.

Gu Sheng and his companions found a Flame Evil Eye in the Evil Forest, but its mixed fire, corrosion, and spiritual attributes did not meet his need for a pure spiritual Evil Eye. Gu Sheng subdued it with his wind abilities and Sharingan, then continued searching for the rare target he wanted.

• Gu Sheng identified a thousand-year Flame Evil Eye after it injured a wind antelope with a fiery beam.

• The Flame Evil Eye released its Mental Force Field and attacked with fire and corrosion rays.
• Gu Sheng crushed the rays, pulled the Flame Evil Eye close, and bewildered it with his blood-red Sharingan.

Gu Sheng used a Flame Evil Eye to lure members of the Evil Eye Clan toward him, hoping to find a suitable Soul Ring for Chu Xin, who had reached level fifty. He selected a powerful silver-white Evil Eye Tyrant and ambushed it, leaving the Tyrant facing Gu Sheng’s overwhelming attack.

• Gu Sheng planted a message in the Flame Evil Eye to attract nearby Evil Eyes and bring an appropriately aged Tyrant within reach.
• Chu Xin’s Soul Power had reached level fifty, making her a quasi-Soul King in need of a suitable Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Ring.
• Dozens of Evil Eyes answered the message, but the Flame Evil Eye could not explain its call, and a Fire Evil Tyrant struck it before the group dispersed.
• Gu Sheng followed a silver-white Evil Eye Tyrant with eight tentacles, recognizing it as a powerful, likely pure Mental Type target.
• Gu Sheng emerged from the shadows and trapped the Evil Eye Tyrant in a gray-black field before it could react to his overwhelming presence.

• Gu Sheng struck the Evil Eye Tyrant with Dark Demonic Evil Lightning while Chu Xin and Liu Daimei sprang an ambush, and Chu Xin's Soul Skill immobilized it.

• Gu Sheng brought Chu Xin and Liu Daimei to a hidden cave, where Chu Xin absorbed the Evil Eye Tyrant's Soul Ring and advanced to Fourth Star Level Soul King.
• Chu Xin picked up the Evil Eye Crystal Core, and she, Liu Daimei, and Ryoko Mayuzumi left the cave to cross the Evil Forest.
• A strange hostile mental force struck the group, and Chu Xin raised a shield with the crystal core to resist its attacks as their surroundings took on an unreal quality.
