Chapter Summaries

After absorbing the Water and Fire Dragon Kings’ Soul Rings, Lin Yi emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and passed Aromatic Silk Beauty’s test. When Infernal Delicate Apricot challenged his right to claim Immortal Herbs, Lin Yi crushed her soul, cowed the others, and used the Golden Domain to nourish them.

• Lin Yi gained Extreme Water, Extreme Fire, the Golden Dragon Roar soul skill, Purple Dragon Wings, and the Water and Fire Dragon Kings as Soul Spirits.
• Lin Yi left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well after seven days and received the Tang Sect Profound Heaven Treasure Record from Aromatic Silk Beauty.
• Lin Yi read the book’s instructions and asked Aromatic Silk Beauty and Aromatic Silk Beauty to let him choose Immortal Herbs.
• Infernal Delicate Apricot disputed Lin Yi’s claim, so Lin Yi used his dragon might and death power to pull out and destroy her soul.
• The frightened Immortal Herbs eagerly described their uses to Lin Yi, who summoned the Golden Tree and used the Golden Domain to nourish them.

Lin Yi consulted his masters and used Immortal Herbs to strengthen his Earth Attribute and physical body before the Aromatic Silk Beauty offered to merge with his Golden Tree in exchange for a chance at immortality. After signing Electrolux’s contract, Lin Yi gained the Aromatic Silk Beauty as a Hundred-Thousand-Year guardian beast.

• Lin Yi signed Electrolux's contract with the Aromatic Silk Beauty and accepted it as his Hundred-Thousand-Year guardian beast.

Lin Yi followed Electrolux’s plan to use the Star Luo Spirit Pearl and Primal Chaos Immortal Herb to condense his first, spiritual Soul Core. After refining the pearl and consuming the herb, he began forming the core in his upper dantian, where the Primal Chaos Qi started pushing the pearl away.

• Lin Yi used the Golden Tree to suppress the herb’s Primordial Chaos Qi and guided the pearl into his upper dantian, where the Qi began pushing it away.

Lin Yi condensed his first Spiritual Soul Core in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with Aromatic Silk Beauty and the Immortal Herbs helping him complete the process. After discovering that the Soul Core rapidly restored and cultivated his power, he sensed an unexplained rejection spreading through his body.

• Primordial Chaos Qi purified the Star Luo Spirit Pearl body into a Soul Core prototype, and Lin Yi began filling it with Soul Power and Spiritual Power.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty calmed Lin Yi as the Soul Core's growing suction drew Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, and the Immortal Herbs helped supply it.
• Lin Yi endured near-total exhaustion and injected his remaining Spiritual Power until the Soul Core formed as a gold-and-silver crystal.
• Lin Yi found that the Soul Core restored his depleted powers and steadily cultivated them even when he was not actively training.
• Lin Yi sensed an inexplicable rejection throughout his body and could not identify its source.

After returning to Shrek Academy with Immortal Herbs, Lin Yi gave them to his family and friends, helped Mu En prepare to recover, and officially joined Sea God Pavilion as an Elder.

Lin Yi learned that Tang Ya had vanished during an Inner Court mission and suspected the Holy Spirit Cult had abducted her because of her latent Devour attribute. After Mu En recovered and Shrek’s elders learned the Holy Spirit Cult’s ties to the Sun Moon Empire, Lin Yi received permission to infiltrate the Evil Soul Masters, leaving to begin the dangerous plan.

• Beibei told Lin Yi that Tang Ya had disappeared during an Inner Court mission, and Lin Yi suspected the Holy Spirit Cult had taken her because her Blue Silver Grass possessed the Devour attribute.

• Lin Yi asked Mu En’s permission to disguise himself as an Evil Soul Master and infiltrate the cult, and Mu En reluctantly agreed after seeing Lin Yi’s preparations.

Lin Yi kept Mu En from revealing his whereabouts, then accepted Ma Xiaotao’s confession and began a relationship with her. After spending several days together, they planned to make their relationship public, while Lin Yi gained new inspiration for his plans and set out to find Beibei.

Lin Yi brought Ma Xiaotao to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where she absorbed Infernal Delicate Apricot’s hundred-thousand-year soul ring and head Soul Bone. Her Martial Soul evolved into a Fire Phoenix with Extreme Fire, and she awakened two fires of Samadhi True Fire, but the power destabilized and left her overwhelmed by Desire Fire; the chapter ended after Lin Yi helped her regain balance and she fell asleep.

• Lin Yi introduced Ma Xiaotao to Gongyang Mo, who revealed how Ma Xiaotao had worried over and pursued Lin Yi before they became a couple.
• Lin Yi gave Beibei copies of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record’s Medicine and Poison sections and asked him to seal them away for now.
• Lin Yi and Ma Xiaotao traveled to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where he prepared Infernal Delicate Apricot’s hundred-thousand-year soul ring for her Seventh Soul Ring.
• Ma Xiaotao absorbed the soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year head Soul Bone, evolving her Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul into a Fire Phoenix with Extreme Fire and awakening the sovereign and commoner fires of Samadhi True Fire.
• Lin Yi concealed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s Immortal Herbs and prepared a life-and-death safeguard against a possible hidden scheme by Tang San.
• Ma Xiaotao’s new fires became unbalanced and overwhelmed her with Desire Fire, so Lin Yi helped her through the crisis; seven days later, she regained her senses and fell asleep.

Lin Yi and Ma Xiaotao returned to Shrek Academy after discussing how to stabilize her flames, and Lin Yi joined Han Ruoruo on a Soul Hunting Operation in the Star Dou Great Forest. A familiar presence led him to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, whose guardian Scarlet King captured him and brought him to meet Di Tian, while Han Ruoruo escaped safely.

• Lin Yi explained that strengthening Ma Xiaotao’s body could help stabilize her flames, then returned with her to Shrek Academy.

• After the students departed, Lin Yi followed a familiar sensation deeper into the forest, where he encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Scarlet King.
• Scarlet King subdued Lin Yi and Han Ruoruo, but agreed to release Han Ruoruo and take Lin Yi to Di Tian for judgment.
• Scarlet King led Lin Yi and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the Star Dou Great Forest’s core and announced their arrival to Di Tian.

Lin Yi met Di Tian in the Great Danger Zone and revealed that the Water and Fire Dragon Kings’ souls lived within his Soul Ring. After the Dragon Kings reunited with Di Tian, he received Di Tian’s Reverse Scale, but his repeated calls annoyed Di Tian, who launched him out of Star Dou; Lin Yi then sensed a new threat behind him.

• Lin Yi met Di Tian at the Lake of Life and explained that the Water and Fire Dragon Kings’ powers and souls were within him.
• The Water and Fire Dragon Kings emerged from Lin Yi’s Soul Ring, reunited with Di Tian, and discussed a deal involving Lin Yi while Di Tian hid their conversation from him.
• Di Tian gave Lin Yi his Reverse Scale, which could conceal Lin Yi from the God Realm and let him call on Di Tian for help, but Lin Yi tested it by sending him messages.
• Lin Yi repeatedly contacted Di Tian to ask how to leave the Great Danger Zone, and Di Tian struck him out of Star Dou with a palm.
• A hidden female voice discussed the Dragon Kings’ proposed deal with Di Tian, who agreed to support Lin Yi; after landing, Lin Yi sensed something behind him as Golden Perception warned him of danger.

Lin Yi fought a ten-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger after Di Tian sent him into the forest, testing his strength and unveiling Extreme Yang Thunder. He defeated the tiger with Golden Tribulation and planned to subdue it as part of his scheme to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult, but the wounded beast prepared another attack.

• Lin Yi evaded the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's ambush and realized Di Tian had left him near the Mixed Zone without blocking the danger.
• Lin Yi and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger exchanged attacks, and Lin Yi tested his domains, attributes, and newly advanced Extreme Yang Thunder against the beast.
• Lin Yi restrained the tiger with his Golden Tree, ice, fire, and other attacks, then narrowly escaped its domain and Evil God Hook.
• Lin Yi overwhelmed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with his fifth soul skill, Golden Dragon Roar, and finished the assault with an Extreme Yang Thunder version of Golden Tribulation.
• Lin Yi decided to subdue the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to strengthen his plan to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult, but the battered tiger roared and appeared ready to unleash its strongest attack.

Lin Yi trapped the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in an illusion, used its reverted newborn state to bind it with a master-servant contract, and returned to Shrek Academy. After reporting to Mu En, he reunited with Ma Xiaotao, and the two went into Sea God Lake together.

• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lured Lin Yi into its black hole, but Lin Yi trapped it in Phantom Dream and found it reduced to a newborn in the Life-and-Death Arena.
• Lin Yi used Electrolux’s method to form a master-servant contract with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which ended the arena and returned them to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger attacked Lin Yi after waking, but the contract’s pain forced it to submit, and Lin Yi sent it to the Undead Demi-Plane.
• Lin Yi returned to the forest’s edge and reassured Han Ruoruo before traveling back to Shrek Academy with her.
• Mu En questioned Lin Yi about his encounter with Di Tian, warned him about infiltrating the Holy Spirit Cult, and then threw him out of Sea God Pavilion into Sea God Lake.
• Ma Xiaotao found Lin Yi by the lake, and the two kissed before plunging into the water together.

Lin Yi infiltrated the Sun Moon Empire as the eccentric Life Demon, staged a confrontation with Evil Soul Masters, and convinced the Holy Spirit Cult that he was a powerful recruit. Zhong Li Wu came to approach him personally, leaving Lin Yi to improvise while Electrolux advised him to tone down his deranged behavior.

• Lin Yi rode his Soul-Guided Motorcycle through the Sun Moon Empire and used his Life Demon identity to build a reputation while preparing to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult.
• Lin Yi found a village destroyed by Evil Soul Masters, killed their subordinates with his disguised Martial Soul, and pretended to devour their life force to frighten their Evil Soul Emperor.

• The Evil Soul Emperor reported the encounter, and Zhong Li Wu investigated Lin Yi's history before deciding he was a promising candidate for the Holy Son position.
• Zhong Li Wu personally approached Lin Yi, who asked Electrolux how to convincingly pose as an Evil Soul Master; Electrolux told him to tone down his deranged side.

Lin Yi negotiated his entry into the Holy Spirit Cult, won the position of Holy Son, and used staged displays of power and a fabricated Martial Soul transformation to secure Zhong Li Wu’s trust. The group prepared to travel to the cult’s headquarters, while Lin Yi planned to use his new standing to uncover its secrets.

• Lin Yi refused Zhong Li Wu’s invitation at first, then agreed to join the Holy Spirit Cult if it helped him find delicacies, gave him a high rank, and proved its strength.
• Zhong Li Wu named Lin Yi the Holy Spirit Cult Saint Son, and Nangong Wan and Nether Thunder Douluo tested him with their Titled Douluo auras.
• Lin Yi swallowed the cult’s medicinal pill, then drained the life force from the Evil Soul Emperor who had reported him and claimed the man had ruined his provisions.
• Lin Yi described his life-force Devour attribute and displayed a supposedly transformed Immortal Life and Death Tree, impressing Zhong Li Wu and the two elders.
• Zhong Li Wu trusted Lin Yi more deeply and summoned him and the two elders to go to the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.

Lin Yi entered the Holy Spirit Cult’s underground headquarters disguised as its Holy Son, where his unusual powers earned both admiration and suspicion from Zhong Li Wu. The cult’s elders proposed that he fight Lin Yi to test his identity, and he finally agreed after learning they could strengthen his Soul Rings.

• Lin Yi rode the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger to the Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters beneath the Demon Forest and learned that the cult supplied souls to the Evil Emperor in exchange for protection.

• The Eighth Elder attacked Lin Yi with an illusion, but Lin Yi blocked it by transforming his Martial Soul into the Death Ancient Tree, prompting the Eighth Elder to withdraw and praise him.
• The elders compared Lin Yi to the famous Shrek Soul Master Lin Yi, and Zhong Li Wu began suspecting the similarities between them before an outburst of his Soul Rings partly eased his doubts.
• The Great Elder proposed a fight against Lin Yi to test the Holy Son and offered the Soul Ascension Secret Method to raise his Soul Ring ages; after hesitating and bargaining, Lin Yi agreed.

Lin Yi persuaded Zhong Li Wu and the Great Elder to arrange a public challenge against Shrek, then cultivated while his Wood Clone and Mu En helped conceal his infiltration. Zhang Peng delivered the challenge, confirmed Mu En was alive, and secured Shrek’s agreement to a fight in three months, leaving Lin Yi to await the deadline.

• Lin Yi rejected the Great Elder’s initial plan and proposed sending a powerful envoy to Shrek with a formal challenge, so the Holy Spirit Cult could attract attention without provoking the academy outright.
• Zhong Li Wu chose Zhang Peng to deliver the challenge, and Lin Yi set the match for three months later while refusing the Soul Ascension Secret Method and entering cultivation.
• Lin Yi discovered that his contract with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had given him Wind and Dark attributes, then lost a fleeting insight about the foundations of a world.
• Zhong Li Wu persuaded Zhang Peng to visit Shrek despite his oath not to leave seclusion while Mu En lived, and Zhang Peng accepted the task partly to learn whether Mu En was still alive.
• At Shrek, Zhang Peng met Mu En, delivered Lin Yi’s challenge, and confirmed that Mu En was alive; Mu En agreed to a fight three months later and said Lin Yi would delay obtaining his sixth Soul Ring.
• Zhang Peng reported the agreement to Zhong Li Wu, who informed Lin Yi, and Lin Yi returned to cultivation as he waited for the deadline.

Lin Yi arranged a public duel between his true body disguised as Life Demon and a Wood Clone, clearing suspicion about his identity while showcasing Shrek’s strength. The battle escalated as the clone revealed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Lin Yi’s disguised body transformed his Martial Soul into the Death Ancient Tree.

• Zhong Li Wu took Lin Yi and Feng Ling to the wilderness outside Shrek City, where Life Demon and Lin Yi’s clone met before Shrek and Holy Spirit Cult witnesses.
• Lin Yi’s clone arrived in a War Chariot driven by Beibei, while the disguised Lin Yi rode the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger; their contrasting entrances drew attention from the spectators.
• The two Lin Yis battled with Extreme Life and their tree-type Martial Souls, convincing Zhong Li Wu that Life Demon was not Lin Yi in disguise.
• Lin Yi’s clone revealed four black Soul Rings and a red fifth Soul Ring, prompting Xuan Zi and Elder Song to suppress spectators who grew greedy for his potential Soul Bone.
• The duel intensified as the clone used Extreme Yang Thunder, and Lin Yi’s disguised body changed the withered Life Ancient Tree into the Death Ancient Tree.

Lin Yi’s true body and Doppelganger fought in public, revealing the nascent Samsara power before the true body seemingly devoured the Doppelganger’s life force and exposed the Holy Spirit Sect as Evil Soul Masters. Mu En intervened as Zhong Li Wu fled, but Lin Yi was swallowed by a Space Rift, and Shrek declared a worldwide Exorcism Order against Evil Soul Masters and the Holy Spirit Sect.

• Lin Yi’s Doppelganger calmed the crowd and resumed their duel, while Lin Yi’s true body combined Extreme Life and Extreme Death to amplify his attacks.
• Lin Yi’s Doppelganger unleashed Golden Tribulation, and Lin Yi’s true body used his embryonic Samsara power to absorb and return the lightning before the attacks overwhelmed it.
• Lin Yi’s true body pierced the Doppelganger with branches of the Life Ancient Tree and claimed to have devoured more than sixty percent of his Origin Life Force, prompting the Doppelganger to accuse the Holy Spirit Sect of being Evil Soul Masters.
• Xuan Zi charged at Zhong Li Wu, but Zhong Li Wu fled with Feng Ling and Lin Yi as Mu En activated Sea God’s Light and attacked them.
• Zhong Li Wu broke through Mu En’s Giant Light Palm and escaped with Feng Ling, but a Space Rift pulled Lin Yi away; Mu En then took the wounded Doppelganger back to Shrek.
• Mu En declared Shrek’s Exorcism Order, mobilizing its experts to hunt Evil Soul Masters and naming the Holy Spirit Sect a target to kill on sight.

After the continent’s powers joined Shrek’s fruitless search for Evil Soul Masters, Lin Yi revealed that his apparent death in a Space Rift had been staged with Mu En’s help. Beneath the Golden Ancient Tree, he absorbed its final gift, became a six-ring Soul Emperor, and faced a risky chance to form his Second Soul Core as the energy overwhelmed him.

• Shrek, Star Luo, Heaven Soul, and Dou Ling launched a month-long search for the Holy Spirit Sect, but found no major figures or useful intelligence.
• Lin Yi revealed that his Doppelganger had entered the Space Rift while his true body escaped, and that he and Mu En had planned the deception to expose the Holy Spirit Sect and buy time for his sixth Soul Ring.
• Lin Yi chose to accept the Golden Ancient Tree’s final gift as his sixth Soul Ring, despite its advice to wait until his seventh ring.
• Lin Yi fused with the Golden Ancient Tree’s God-Tier Soul Ring, became a six-ring Soul Emperor, and gained the Golden Resonance Soul Skill to borrow Plane Force.
• When Lin Yi’s Spiritual Soul Core could no longer contain the incoming energy, Electrolux advised him to use his External Soul Bones, and the God of Light and Electrolux urged him to condense a Second Soul Core.
• Lin Yi weighed the risk of forming his Second Soul Core as his two External Soul Bones reached the hundred-thousand-year level.

Lin Yi condensed a Yin Yang Complementarity Qi Soul Core with help from Electrolux and the God of Light, becoming the first human to succeed. The Golden Ancient Tree then forced him out after its Extreme Light caused Yang Hyperactivity, leaving him face-to-face with Zhang Lexuan.

• Lin Yi questioned Di Tian about Yin Yang Complementarity Soul Cores and learned that success required an exceptional body or Spiritual Power.
• Electrolux stored the Golden Ancient Tree’s energy in Lin Yi’s Holy Necromancer Martial Soul while the God of Light stabilized his Divine Soul Core.
• Lin Yi extracted Soul Power from his Divine Soul Core and condensed a pure Soul Power crystal in his middle dantian.
• With the God of Light’s help, Lin Yi endured the two Soul Cores’ final collision and successfully formed his Qi Soul Core.
• The two Soul Cores absorbed the remaining energy, but accumulating Extreme Light caused Lin Yi to suffer Yang Hyperactivity.
• The Golden Ancient Tree forced Lin Yi out, and Zhang Lexuan encountered him beneath the tree.
