Chapter Summaries

Styx discovered that the four Innate Undying Spiritual Lights inside the North Sea Black Tortoise could eventually help it attain the Dao, though extracting them carried great risks.

• Styx examined the Black Tortoise and discovered that its four Innate Undying Spiritual Lights had formed a natural Four Symbols Great Array within its body.

• Styx explained that the strands had strengthened Black Tortoise and transformed his physique, but removing them could damage his origin and refining them exceeded his current cultivation.

Styx explained three cultivation methods that could remove the Innate Undying Spiritual Light threatening Black Tortoise and help him advance. Black Tortoise considered the options and made his decision, though the chapter did not reveal which method he chose.

Black Tortoise chose to cultivate the World Attain Dao Method, and Styx gave him the Blood Scripture before exploring the continent on his back with Wood Spirit. Meanwhile, Fengdu established a cultivation path and new institutions for Ghost Cultivators in the Netherworld, leaving its strength and Fortune greatly increased.
