Chapter Summaries

Xiao Tianyang gave Satan the [Rainbow Bridge], enabling Eternal Night to plan its recovery and future expansion. Back at Golden Phoenix Tower, Yan Lingji used a method provided by the First Madam to make Xiao Tianyang fall asleep, then slipped into his room to seduce him.

• Satan told Xiao Tianyang that Eternal Night needed the [Rainbow Bridge] to reach other worlds and absorb their Death Qi, and Xiao Tianyang handed it over.
• After Xiao Tianyang left, Satan ordered the Mad Bull Tribe to build a castle around the [World Tree] while they recuperated, and planned to revive Mammon and Duma.

• Xiao Tianyang returned to his room at Golden Phoenix Tower and wondered whether Tian Xuan had left more secrets behind.
• Yan Lingji used the First Madam's method to make Xiao Tianyang drowsy, entered his room, and lay against his chest.

Xiao Tianyang woke beside Yan Lingji and learned how she had used special agarwood and a forbidden technique to spend the night with him; he accepted her actions and pulled her close again. Meanwhile, Fei Yan arrived at Golden Phoenix Tower and learned she had been beaten to Xiao Tianyang by Yan Lingji.

• Xiao Tianyang woke beside Yan Lingji, realized they had spent the night together, and asked how she had knocked him out.

• Fei Yan revealed that she and Dongfang Lan were biological sisters with matching Three-legged Golden Crow Martial Souls, and complained about the consequences of Yan Lingji’s bold move.

Fei Yan and Dongfang Lan worried that Xiao Tianyang would pursue more women after his time in seclusion, while Xiao Tianyang celebrated his intimacy with Yan Lingji by giving her a dress and a magical ring. The chapter ended with Xiao Tianyang discovering a system quest that encouraged him to build a harem.

• After his morning with Yan Lingji, Xiao Tianyang received the Harem Plan side quest, which required eligible women to love only him and pass the Ring of Starlight's test.

Xiao Tianyang met Fei Yan, who brought him intelligence about the Shadow Demon and news of Li Cunxiao. Fei Yan said she had spies watching Li Cunxiao near True Body Sect, leaving Xiao Tianyang waiting for their report.

• Xiao Tianyang met Fei Yan, and she chose to address him as Mister rather than by name.
• Fei Yan gave Xiao Tianyang three encrypted letters found along the Shadow Demon's escape route.
• Fei Yan told Xiao Tianyang that Li Cunxiao had arrived in a town near True Body Sect with a Ghost Eye Evil Tiger and an eighteen-man squad.
• Xiao Tianyang asked Fei Yan to investigate why Li Cunxiao had gone to the town, and she said her spies would send new information that afternoon.
• Fei Yan worried about her place among Xiao Tianyang's other potential partners while accepting her decision to be with him.

Xiao Tianyang and the women investigated letters claiming that the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils had assimilated the Demon Forest, and he doubted the report while waiting for more intelligence. The chapter ended with Dongfang Lan asking what they would do if the assimilation had truly been completed.

• Xiao Tianyang read the letters and learned that the Sea of Ten Thousand Evils had supposedly assimilated the Demon Forest.
• Dongfang Lan asked whether the Demon Forest had ceased to belong to the Douluo Continent, and Xiao Tianyang said he did not believe it without further proof.
• Fei Yan reported that neither her people, Dongfang Lan's people, the North Sea Giant Kraken, nor the True Body Sect had detected anything unusual.
• Xiao Tianyang said Deputy Commander Liang had likely taken his orders to Divine Might and that he would investigate the matter himself after visiting Shrek Academy.
• Dongfang Lan asked what they would do if the assimilation had truly been completed.

Xiao Tianyang agreed to pursue the Demon Forest and granted Fei Yan’s wish to destroy the Sun Moon Empire if it refused to cooperate. Afterward, he and the women went to the Golden Phoenix Tower, where they cooked together and Xiao Tianyang admired their varied culinary traditions.

• Xiao Tianyang said he would focus on the Demon Forest and might open a Second Battlefield if necessary.
• Fei Yan raised the problem of entering Sun Moon Empire territory, and Xiao Tianyang proposed courtesy first, then force, with the royal family treated like those of the Star Luo Empire and Star Dou Empire.
• Fei Yan thanked Xiao Tianyang for granting her wish, and he took Yan Lingji to the Golden Phoenix Tower to eat.
• Xiao Tianyang cooked with Fei Yan, Dongfang Lan, Yan Lingji, Nong Yu, the Grand Commander, and the Young Priestess, whose specialties represented different culinary traditions.
• Xiao Tianyang noticed that the women used compressed space to save time and asked whose idea it had been.

Xiao Tianyang learned how Divine Might had made cooking a compulsory subject and helped establish Douluo Continent’s culinary world. He began explaining how the First Battlefield was changing life on the continent, turning his attention to plants and ordinary beasts before they evolved into Soul Beasts.

• Fei Yan and Grand Commander explained that Xiao Tianyang was revered as the God of Cooking and that the Shenwu Spirit had made cooking compulsory at Baihua Tower and Shenwu Academy.
• Xiao Tianyang realized that the culinary world’s influence had advanced his publicity plan, and he credited Tuantuan and Guoguo with laying the groundwork.
• Xiao Tianyang asked whether the others knew about Flash Cuisine, and Young Priestess, Grand Commander, Yan Lingji, and Nong Yu discussed its rarity and the nutrient-rich ingredients Divine Might supplied.
• Nong Yu analyzed how rising energy in Douluo Continent’s environment might change ordinary ingredients, prompting Xiao Tianyang to joke that she had taken his lines.
• Xiao Tianyang said the First Battlefield had improved Soul Masters’ cultivation and prospects, then affected Soul Beasts and ordinary beasts, and he revealed that he was watching plants and ordinary beasts before they evolved into Soul Beasts.

Xiao Tianyang explained his long-planned project to create a new cultivation system, drawing on years of research and experiments. The women learned that he had already chosen a participant from Shrek Academy, and Nong Yu deduced his identity criteria so accurately that Xiao Tianyang took a special interest in her.

• Xiao Tianyang explained how the Elemental Kingdom's invasion had interrupted his earlier project and how the continent's changing energy could help its many forms of life adapt.
• Xiao Tianyang described how his research, the [Ancient Nine Cauldrons] experiments, and his own body as a blueprint had led to a feasible new cultivation system.
• Xiao Tianyang offered Fei Yan and the others backup materials and told them to focus first on the system's structure and key elements.
• Fei Yan asked whether anyone besides Xiao Tianyang was participating, and he confirmed that the candidate was someone they knew.
• Nong Yu deduced that the candidate was likely a Limit Douluo from Shrek Academy with a powerful physique and strong regenerative abilities.
• Xiao Tianyang admired Nong Yu's deduction, while Nong Yu panicked at the attention she had attracted.

Nong Yu named four powerful body cultivators who might match Xiao Tianyang, while Xiao Tianyang reflected on how he had distributed inheritances among the continent’s major factions to maintain balance. She revealed that the two True Body Sect elders were heading toward them and that Xuanzi had met Xiao Tianyang the day before, leaving the candidates uncertain.

• Nong Yu explained that True Body Sect sect master Du Bisi and vice sect master Du Busi were formidable body cultivators whose strength did not depend on their Martial Souls.
• Xiao Tianyang recalled how he had distributed cultivation systems, technology, and military training to the major factions while imposing limits to preserve balance on the continent.
• Yan Lingji prompted Xiao Tianyang to pay attention after he became lost in thought while Nong Yu was speaking.
• Nong Yu named Shrek Academy’s Mu En and Xuanzi as the other two candidates, describing their strength and abilities.
• Nong Yu said Du Bisi and Du Busi were heading their way, while Xuanzi had met Xiao Tianyang the previous day, making it unlikely that any of the four were his intended choices.

Xiao Tianyang discussed Dragon God Douluo’s likely response to his proposal and explained how Shrek Academy’s Supervisory Group would help contain Evil Soul Masters. When Dongfang Lan volunteered to join a plan for greater strength, Xiao Tianyang discovered she had been enduring the punishing Great Sun Burning Heaven Scripture.

• Xiao Tianyang said Dragon God Douluo had likely accepted his suggestion, though he believed the aging Douluo’s deep-seated obsession kept him on Douluo Continent.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that Evil Soul Masters could not be eradicated and that the Shrek Supervisory Group would contain them while allowing Soul Masters to grow stronger.
• Dongfang Lan volunteered to participate, citing the regenerative abilities of her Three-legged Golden Crow true body and her cultivation of the Great Sun Burning Heaven Scripture.
• Xiao Tianyang seized Dongfang Lan’s wrist and asked how she had endured the scripture’s daily solar-fire tempering with her Soul Power sealed.
• Dongfang Lan said the pain had eased as she grew accustomed to it, while Xiao Tianyang recalled abandoning the scripture after experiencing its agony himself.

Xiao Tianyang began helping Dongfang Lan cultivate his new system while explaining that soul cultivation, Soul Power cultivation, and body cultivation should advance together. The process began in a medicinal bath, with Xiao Tianyang guiding her spirit away from the pain and naming the new system’s rings Blood Rings.

• Xiao Tianyang agreed to help Dongfang Lan after learning her cultivation had stabilized, and led her and the other women to a guest room.
• Xiao Tianyang prepared a medicinal bath and explained that Soul Rings did not need to be shattered and that the three cultivation systems could coexist.
• Xiao Tianyang argued that soul, Soul Power, and body cultivation had to advance together, and said he had already followed that path himself.
• Dongfang Lan entered the medicinal bath, and Xiao Tianyang guided her into an ethereal state so she would not feel the pain of the process.
• Xiao Tianyang spread his Mental Power and declared that he would call the new system’s rings Blood Rings.

Xiao Tianyang used a medicinal treatment and Solar Essence Gold to advance Dongfang Lan's physique and forge a Blood Ring, triggering a violent breakthrough. As Dongfang Lan's power surged, Xiao Tianyang protected the others and urged Fei Yan to develop the culinary world and Flash Cuisine.

• Xiao Tianyang used silver needles and medicinal liquid to strengthen Dongfang Lan's physique while explaining his cultivation system to Fei Yan and the others.
• After Dongfang Lan absorbed the medicinal liquid and condensed a blood pill, Xiao Tianyang shaped Solar Essence Gold into nine Three-legged Golden Crows.
• The Golden Crows entered Dongfang Lan and collided with her blood pill, causing her to cough blood and manifest a Three-legged Golden Crow tattoo.
• Dongfang Lan's breakthrough unleashed golden ripples that shattered Xiao Tianyang's first barrier, so he shielded the others with a mental barrier and sealed the room.
• Xiao Tianyang told Fei Yan to secretly promote the culinary world and Flash Cuisine because cooking was key to advancing the cultivation system.

After Dongfang Lan's condition stabilized, she thanked Xiao Tianyang with an unrestrained embrace, and he fled to avoid further embarrassment. Fei Yan then proposed sending several Baihua Tower women to stay near him and divert his attention, leaving the group to consider whether fighting poison with poison would work.

• Dongfang Lan awoke from cultivation, leaped from the bathtub, and embraced Xiao Tianyang to thank him for helping her improve.
• Xiao Tianyang peeled Dongfang Lan off himself, told everyone to get dressed and gather downstairs, then hurried away.
• Dongfang Lan and Fei Yan discussed Xiao Tianyang's self-control, and Fei Yan assigned the Grand Commander to stay near him with Chi Lian and Zi Nu.
• Fei Yan also ordered Yan Lingji to stay, prompting Dongfang Lan and the others to question her plan.
• Nong Yu recognized that Fei Yan intended to use the women to divert Xiao Tianyang's attention, and Yan Lingji admitted he was hard to withstand.

Xiao Tianyang explained how the women’s new cultivation system stored energy in implanted carriers, letting them grow stronger without becoming muscular or gaining weight. The women became much more interested in the system, while Fei Yan and Nong Yu focused on the potential drawbacks they remembered.

• Fei Yan and the other women refined their plan upstairs, then returned to find Xiao Tianyang had finished cooking their dishes.
• Dongfang Lan ate rapidly, and Xiao Tianyang explained that her body’s new carriers needed energy.
• Nong Yu described how the True Body Sect stored surplus energy in the body, while Grand Commander and Young Priestess discussed the sect’s physique.
• Dongfang Lan worried that she might become muscular, so Xiao Tianyang explained that her energy would instead flow into her implanted carriers.
• The women grew eager about a cultivation system that could prevent weight gain, while Fei Yan and Nong Yu recalled its hidden drawbacks.

Fei Yan and Nong Yu examined the difficulties in Xiao Tianyang’s proposed cultivation system, and Nong Yu deduced that its central flaw involved linking Soul Power with Blood Qi. She explained that the system had to fit the Plane Law, leaving Xiao Tianyang to reveal whether her conclusion was correct.

• Fei Yan asked how to calculate intermediate values and what requirements a breakthrough medium had to meet.
• Xiao Tianyang said the problem had troubled him for half a month at the Seven-Colored Divine Mountain and that he had eventually found a major mistake in his original approach.
• Nong Yu guessed that Soul Power and Blood Qi could not achieve the ideal linkage.
• Nong Yu reasoned that the True Body Sect’s centuries of research would have produced results if the two forces could merge, but it had not.
• Nong Yu outlined the three parts of a cultivation system—realm divisions, a driving force, and rules set by the Plane Law—and concluded that Xiao Tianyang’s mistake lay in the system’s underlying assumptions.

Nong Yu analyzed the situation with remarkable skill, prompting Xiao Tianyang to inspect her with the Ancient Divine Eyes. He discovered her extraordinary analytical talent, rare Divine Soul Demonic Brain, and Chaos Green Lotus Divine Armor, and wondered why the system had given her such powerful abilities despite her uncertain bond with him.

• Nong Yu narrowed down the possible answers through elimination and analysis, repeating a method she had used before.
• Xiao Tianyang used the Ancient Divine Eyes and learned that Nong Yu had exceptional memory and analytical abilities, the White Lotus Physique, and level 92 Soul Power.
• Xiao Tianyang discovered that Nong Yu possessed the Chaos Green Lotus Divine Armor, a sentient Soul Bone set that had chosen her as its master.
• Xiao Tianyang recognized Nong Yu's Divine Soul Demonic Brain as an exceedingly rare External Soul Bone and one of the finest of its kind.
• Xiao Tianyang suspected the system was trying to change hosts because Nong Yu's character status might not bind her to him as strongly as his other companions.

Xiao Tianyang explained the new cultivation system’s realms, advancement, and connection to the Douluo Continent’s Plane Spirit. The women understood that its practitioners resonated with heaven and earth, while Xiao Tianyang’s own standing with the Plane Spirit remained constrained by his current strength.

• Xiao Tianyang considered Nong Yu’s feelings and decided he could pursue her as long as he did not let her down.
• Xiao Tianyang showed the women a Purple River Cart and explained that its Divine Embryo supplied life force for breakthroughs and nurtured Natal Divine Abilities.
• Xiao Tianyang outlined the nine major realms and explained that each realm had nine levels, with a bell chime marking each level.
• Dongfang Lan told Xiao Tianyang that she had heard three chimes, and he identified her as being at the third level of Body Tempering.
• Xiao Tianyang explained that each chime represented resonance with heaven and earth and that the new cultivation system had gained the Plane Spirit’s recognition.
• The women learned that Xiao Tianyang’s karmic connection gave him a high standing with the Plane Spirit, though his current strength limited him to equality with it.

Xiao Tianyang explained that his new cultivation system would sever humanity’s connection to the Plane Spirit, which had agreed to the change at a price he did not disclose. He asked Fei Yan, Dongfang Lan, and the Grand Commander to consider how to make the difficult Purple River Cart path accessible across social classes, leaving them to weigh the challenge after they began their meal.

• Fei Yan reasoned that Xiao Tianyang’s cultivation system would cut humanity’s final link with the Plane Spirit, and guessed he had paid a substantial price to secure its agreement.
• The Young Priestess warned that Purple River Carts were difficult to cultivate and Divine Embryos were rare, so few people might choose the path.
• Xiao Tianyang proposed reducing the cultivation difficulty and dividing Purple River Carts into high, middle, and low grades, then asked how the system could be promoted.
• Xiao Tianyang told Fei Yan, Dongfang Lan, and the Grand Commander they did not need to answer immediately and invited everyone to eat first.
• Fei Yan and the Grand Commander realized that planning the reform would require careful coordination and more expertise than Baihua Tower alone could provide.

Fei Yan delivered intelligence that Li Cunxiao had intercepted the True Body Sect’s leaders and fought Du Bisi, revealing strength that surprised Xiao Tianyang and his companions. Baihua Tower had no information about Li Cunxiao, and the chapter left his identity and origins unexplained.

• A Heaven Rank spy delivered a brief report to Fei Yan, who told Xiao Tianyang that Baihua Tower’s top spies were divided into three ranks.
• Fei Yan reported that the True Body Sect’s sect master and deputy sect master had been intercepted by Li Cunxiao while traveling to meet Xiao Tianyang.
• Fei Yan explained that Li Cunxiao had fought Du Bisi alone, suppressing him during their first ten exchanges without falling behind afterward.
• Xiao Tianyang called the True Body Sect’s leaders reckless and worried that their conduct could cause trouble for the sect.
• The Grand Commander remarked that Li Cunxiao’s performance placed him among the strongest, while Nong Yu confirmed Baihua Tower had no information about him.

Xiao Tianyang learned that the Demon Forest’s magnetic field and surrounding space had been shattered, possibly as part of a plan to imitate the Elemental Kingdom. Optimus Prime’s report left Xiao Tianyang wary of the forest but not yet ready to go there himself.

• Xiao Tianyang inferred that Li Cunxiao was proving his strength and seeking to join his command while challenging the True Body Sect.
• Bumblebee arrived at Golden Phoenix Tower and projected a sand table of the Demon Forest for Xiao Tianyang.
• Optimus Prime appeared in the projection and reported that the Demon Forest’s magnetic field and surrounding space had been thrown into chaos.
• Optimus Prime said the changes seemed intended to imitate the Elemental Kingdom, and Xiao Tianyang judged the plan steadier than the kingdom’s ill-prepared effort had been.
