Chapter Summaries

Dugu Bo accepted defeat and joined Spirit Hall after Lin Du resolved his family’s poison problem, and Qian Daoliu promised him two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Lin Du harvested the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, ate them, and plunged into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye despite the danger.

• Dugu Bo calmed down, honored his agreement to join Spirit Hall, and Qian Daoliu welcomed him with a promise of two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones.
• Lin Du hurried toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye to gather its rare herbs, while Qian Renxue followed and Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo watched over them.
• Lin Du identified the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot and swiftly cut both from their roots.
• Lin Du asked Qian Daoliu to bring the herbs together, then swallowed them as their opposing properties reacted.
• Lin Du’s body suffered intense heat and cold, but he insisted he trusted his plan and leaped into the meeting point of the Extreme Cold Spring and Extreme Hot Spring.

Lin Du absorbed the power of the two poisonous Immortal Herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye while unconscious, and his Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone began to transform. Qian Renxue discovered that the Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring showed Lin Du was alive, and after another hour, something began rising toward the spring’s surface.

• Lin Du passed out from the extreme heat and cold but continued absorbing the energy of the herbs and spring, which also changed his Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone.
• After a day passed without Lin Du resurfacing, Dugu Bo feared he was dead, while Qian Renxue insisted he would survive.
• Qian Renxue activated the Mustard Seed Sumeru Ring and saw it glow, revealing that Lin Du was still alive.
• Qian Daoliu explained that the paired ring sensed whether its other wearer was alive, and Dugu Bo praised Lin Du’s courage and predicted his name would spread across the continent.
• After another hour, ripples appeared on the spring’s surface as something approached from below.

After emerging unharmed from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Lin Du reunited with Qian Renxue and explained his newfound immunity to water and fire. He demonstrated that even Qian Daoliu’s Sacred Flame could not harm him—and that his left hand could devour it.

• Lin Du burst from the spring, and Qian Renxue rushed to embrace him before covering him with his Ten Thousand Scale Inner Armor.
• At Dugu Bo’s cabin, Lin Du claimed he had learned about the herbs from a memorized book that he had burned for firewood.
• Lin Du told Qian Renxue that the herbs had made him immune to water and fire, then placed his hand in the fire without being burned.
• Qian Daoliu tested Lin Du with Angel Martial Soul Sacred Flame, which left no mark and was devoured by Lin Du’s left hand.

Lin Du discovered that his mutated Icefire Wolf Soul Bone absorbed Qian Daoliu’s Golden Flame, and he prepared to test his self-created Fusion Spirit Skill. As Lin Du began combining evolved ice and fire elements, Qian Daoliu realized the bone’s age and power had increased, with its attributes approaching the ultimate extremes.

• Lin Du found that the Golden Flame vanished into his left palm but remained unchanged when he tested it with his right hand, linking the effect to his Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone.
• Qian Renxue explained to Dugu Bo that Lin Du had created a Fusion Spirit Skill himself, astonishing him with the claim that the six-year-old had achieved enlightenment.

• Lin Du activated his left-arm Spirit Bone, producing vermilion flames and milky-white ice crystals that began fusing in his palm.
• Qian Daoliu shielded Qian Renxue from the intense temperatures and observed that Lin Du’s Spirit Bone had evolved toward ultimate ice and fire and seemed to have gained years.

Lin Du’s Extreme Ice Fire Tornado destroyed Dugu Bo’s Emerald Poison Shield and forced him to use his eighth spirit skill. After Lin Du and Qian Renxue slept beside each other in the cabin, she woke and moved close to him, nearly kissing his cheek.

• Lin Du launched his Extreme Ice Fire Tornado at Dugu Bo, who used his Emerald Poison Shield to defend himself.
• The tornado broke through Dugu Bo’s shield, forcing him to use his eighth spirit skill, Time Freeze, before he shattered the attack.
• Dugu Bo praised Lin Du’s skill and said Lin Du suited his taste, while Lin Du explained that the attack had drained all his Soul Power.
• Qian Renxue supported Lin Du back to the cabin, where they both fell asleep beside each other as Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu kept watch.
• The next morning, Lin Du pretended to sleep as Qian Renxue woke beside him, rested her head on his chest, and moved close to his cheek.

Qian Renxue kissed Lin Du while he pretended to sleep, then fled in embarrassment; Lin Du teased her about dreaming of a kiss before changing the subject. After learning that Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo had gone to find a Bright Green Lion clan for Lin Du’s First Soul Ring, Lin Du and Qian Renxue went to gather Immortal Herbs and prepare gifts.

• Qian Renxue kissed Lin Du on the cheek, stepped on his hand as she hurried out, and left him pretending to sleep.
• Lin Du later told Qian Renxue he had dreamed that a girl kissed him, making her nervous until he interrupted her near-confession by asking if she had a fever.

• Lin Du suggested that he and Qian Renxue look for treasures and gifts for the Enshrined while they waited, and she agreed.
• Lin Du brought out assorted boxes for storing Immortal Herbs and explained that improper storage could reduce their medicinal efficacy while Qian Renxue watched him.

Lin Du chose to absorb a twelve-hundred-year spirit ring as his first, despite Qian Renxue and Dugu Bo's concern. The ring entered his Dragon Ascending Sword and began violently rampaging through his body, leaving the outcome uncertain.

• Qian Renxue asked Lin Du whether he had felt anything special when he dreamed of being kissed, and he said he wanted to experience it again.
• Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo arrived with Bright Green Lions aged twelve hundred and eight hundred years, and Lin Du chose the older one.

• Lin Du drew the ring into his Dragon Ascending Sword, and its fierce energy surged through his body.

• Xiao Wu tried to leave to investigate, but the Titan Giant Ape stopped her with its Gravity Domain and held her in its palm.

Lin Du’s Dragon God form fought the Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix but could not stay airborne, until a mysterious voice from another dimension granted him the Bright Green Lion’s power and transformed him into the Lion Dragon God. The transformed beast trapped the Phoenix, setting up Lin Du’s next attack.

• Dugu Bo, Qian Daoliu, and Qian Renxue watched Lin Du transform into the Dragon God, and Qian Daoliu explained that Lin Du did not have Twin Martial Souls.
• The Dragon God split the Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix’s fireball and struck at its wing, but it began falling because it could not fly.
• Lin Du told Dugu Bo that he still had not used his First Soul Skill, then heard a voice across dimensions offering him power to save the world.
• A lion-headed phantom appeared and its red light transformed the Dragon God into the golden Lion Dragon God.
• Lin Du used Super Power! Lion! Light Dragon Fist! to bind the fleeing Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix, and a voice urged him, “Your chance has come, Little Du!”

• Lin Du accepted Qian Daoliu’s permission to attempt absorbing the Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix’s Spirit Ring, despite its violent Soul Power and flames.
• A Vermilion Flame from Lin Du’s left arm devoured the fire engulfing him, and he completed the Spirit Ring absorption after five or six hours.
• Lin Du told Dugu Bo that the Spirit Ring had granted his Dragon God Martial Soul fire and flight abilities.
• Lin Du proposed sparring with Dugu Bo, but distant wolf howls and beast roars interrupted them.
• Qian Daoliu said Qian Renxue’s fourth Spirit Ring was within reach, and Lin Du, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Dugu Bo rushed toward the sounds.

A Sacred Heavenly Horse fought off a pack of Howling Moon Wolves while guarding its newborn, but it was left badly wounded. Dugu Bo and the others realized why it had not fled, and a six-winged figure dove toward the Howling Moon Wolf King.

• The Sacred Heavenly Horse killed several Howling Moon Wolves as the Howling Moon Wolf King directed repeated attacks.
• The wolves weakened the Sacred Heavenly Horse’s magic array and badly wounded it, but it stayed beside its newborn.
• Dugu Bo, Qian Daoliu, Lin Du, and their companion watched from a cliff and discussed the battle.
• Lin Du spotted something behind the horse, and Dugu Bo recognized the newborn Sacred Heavenly Horse it was protecting.
• A six-winged figure leaped from the rock and flew toward the Howling Moon Wolf King.

Lin Du used his new flight ability to join Qian Renxue in fighting the Howling Moon Wolf King, but its speed and afterimage caught her off guard. Lin Du faced the wolf alone by transforming into the Dragon God, where a mysterious flame-wielding female phantom appeared and offered him her power.

• Lin Du revealed his crimson-gold Mechanical Phoenix Wings and flew to Qian Renxue's side to help fight the Howling Moon Wolf King.
• Lin Du attacked with Lion Light Dragon Fist while Qian Renxue used Angel Assault, but the wolf's afterimage let it launch a surprise strike against her.
• Qian Renxue blocked the wolf's claws with Angel Guardian, but the impact sent her flying, and Lin Du caught her before setting her down safely.
• Lin Du summoned the Dragon Ascending Sword, transformed into the Dragon God, and activated his Second Spirit Ring as the Howling Moon Wolf King hesitated before him.
• A flame-wielding female phantom appeared behind Lin Du and offered him her power, recognizing him as the new little savior.

• Lin Du transformed into the Phoenix Dragon God and blocked the Howling Moon Wolf King's silver beam with the Phoenix Shield.
• Lin Du and the Phoenix Dragon God struck the Howling Moon Wolf King with a flaming phoenix attack, killing it in a fiery explosion.
• Lin Du found a silver Head Soul Bone beneath the wolf's Spirit Ring, and Qian Daoliu identified it as a ten-thousand-year bone from a quasi-ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
• Lin Du stored the Head Soul Bone instead of absorbing it, then rushed with Qian Daoliu toward Qian Renxue when she called out in alarm.
• Qian Renxue examined the Sacred Heavenly Horse as it collapsed weakly on the ground.

Lin Du offered to protect the newborn Sacred Heavenly Horse if its dying mother became Qian Renxue’s Spirit Ring, and the mother accepted. Qian Renxue killed it swiftly, leaving behind a ten-thousand-year black Spirit Ring.

• The dying Sacred Heavenly Horse licked its newborn child goodbye while Lin Du and Qian Renxue held the foal for it.
• Lin Du proposed that the Sacred Heavenly Horse become Qian Renxue’s Spirit Ring in exchange for protecting its child.
• Qian Daoliu approved Lin Du’s plan, while Dugu Bo warned that absorbing a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring could be dangerous.
• The Sacred Heavenly Horse accepted the deal after Lin Du promised its child would be protected.
• Qian Renxue killed the Sacred Heavenly Horse, and its body produced a black Spirit Ring.

Lin Du prepared Qian Renxue to absorb the Sacred Heavenly Horse’s Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, reasoning that its willing acceptance of death could reduce the ring’s soul impact. As Qian Renxue began absorbing it, Lin Du learned that the powers of two Holy Gods were within his Spirit Rings, and his excitement briefly exposed their auras to Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo.

• Lin Du gave Qian Renxue a Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma to restore her strength before she absorbed the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
• Lin Du explained that the Sacred Heavenly Horse’s willing acceptance of death could prevent resentment and lessen the Spirit Ring’s soul impact.
• Qian Daoliu approved the plan, and Qian Renxue ate the ganoderma before drawing the Black Spirit Ring into her body.
• As Qian Renxue began absorbing the ring, Lin Du asked Dragon God about changes in his own Spirit Rings and learned they contained the powers of the Lion of Light and the Phoenix of Flame.
• Lin Du became excited at the prospect that his Spirit Rings could grow stronger, accidentally leaked the two Holy Gods’ auras, and drew Qian Daoliu and Dugu Bo’s attention.

Qian Renxue completed her fourth Spirit Ring, a ten-thousand-year ring, and demonstrated her new group-control skill, Sacred Imprisonment. Lin Du concealed the two powerful auras within him, while Dugu Bo continued considering Dugu Yan as a possible match for him.

• Dugu Bo and Qian Daoliu sensed two immense auras emerge from Lin Du and suspected that powerful gods resided within him.
• Lin Du pretended to cultivate and resolved to be cautious about revealing the auras, especially to people with ulterior motives.
• After absorbing the ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring overnight, Qian Renxue celebrated becoming a four-ring Soul Ancestor and credited Lin Du for her success.
• Dugu Bo hinted that he wanted his granddaughter Dugu Yan to share Lin Du's affection, and Qian Daoliu responded by striking the ground near him with a sacred sword.
• Qian Renxue invited Lin Du, Qian Daoliu, and Dugu Bo to test her fourth Soul Skill, Sacred Imprisonment, which restrained all three with streams of Holy Light.

After Qian Renxue obtained her fourth Spirit Ring, Lin Du's group met Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin, and granddaughter, Dugu Yan, in Heaven Dou City. Dugu Bo sent Dugu Yan to Spirit City with Lin Du and Qian Renxue, then asked his son whether they should arrange her marriage to Lin Du.

• Qian Renxue thanked Lin Du for helping her obtain a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, and Qian Daoliu hinted that he had already rewarded Lin Du with something precious.
• Lin Du met Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan after the group arrived in Heaven Dou City to collect Dugu Bo's family.
• Dugu Bo told Dugu Xin that he had learned how to cure the Dugu family's Martial Soul poison and arranged for Dugu Yan to travel to Spirit City with Lin Du's group for treatment.
• Dugu Yan wanted Qian Renxue to accompany her, while Qian Renxue preferred to stay with Lin Du, so Lin Du summoned the Phoenix Dragon God and had both girls ride on its shoulders.
• After Lin Du and the others departed, Dugu Bo asked Dugu Xin whether he should arrange for Dugu Yan to marry Lin Du.

Dugu Bo decided to seek a closer match between Dugu Yan and Lin Du, while Dugu Xin argued that they should let the two develop feelings naturally. After the group reached Douluo Hall, Lin Du revealed his two purple Spirit Rings and teased the Enshrined about the age of Qian Renxue’s fourth ring.

• Dugu Xin urged Dugu Bo to let Dugu Yan and Lin Du spend time together without pressuring them, but Dugu Bo decided to handle the match himself.

• Lin Du emerged from his Phoenix Dragon God form and revealed his two purple Spirit Rings, shocking the Enshrined.
• Qian Daoliu explained that Lin Du’s rings came from a twelve-hundred-year Bright Green Lion and a roughly five-thousand-year Crimson Flame Fire Phoenix, prompting the Enshrined to praise him.
• Lin Du redirected the Enshrined’s attention to Qian Renxue’s fourth Spirit Ring, and Golden Crocodile Spirit guessed its age was seven thousand years, which Lin Du said was close but too low.
