Chapter Summaries

Zhao Linchuan announced reforms to Spirit Hall, a new tournament format, a crackdown on corruption, and a one-year deadline for unifying the continent. He later secured Ning Fengzhi’s support with a promise to help a descendant become a Titled Douluo, while Bibi Dong and the others waited at the future university site and witnessed someone carrying a colossal mountain through the sky.

• Zhao Linchuan appointed Bibi Dong administrative vice dean of Martial Soul University, named Qian Renxue the new Saintess, and created a Cabinet with Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan.
• Zhao Linchuan announced expanded tournament competitions, support for civilian soul master training, an investigation into Spirit Hall corruption, and his goal of unifying the continent within one year.

• Zhao Linchuan promised to help a talented and virtuous descendant of Ning Fengzhi break the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda’s innate shackles and become a Titled Douluo.
• Half a month later, Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and others waited on empty land for the university’s construction to begin.
• Everyone saw a person in the sky holding up a ten-thousand-zhang mountain with one arm.

Zhao Linchuan established Dao Seeking Academy by setting Ask Dao Mountain in place and creating the Ask Dao Ladder, whose milestones promised great cultivation prospects. As Bibi Dong offered a personal discipleship to anyone who climbed seven hundred steps, Spirit Hall’s elders and students raced up the mountain, with Qian Daoliu reaching the penultimate step.

• Zhao Linchuan carried a giant mountain into place, set it down silently, and created a golden staircase leading to its summit.

• Qian Renxue climbed at the front, Hu Liena followed, and Xie Yue and Yan trailed behind them.
• Qian Daoliu used his Seraphim Martial Soul to fly up the ladder and reached its nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.

Qian Daoliu turned away from the final step of Ask Dao Mountain, while Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena reached the summit. News of the mountain inspired both empires to build competing wonders, burdening their people with forced labor.

• Qian Daoliu hesitated before Ask Dao Mountain’s final step, but Golden Crocodile Douluo told him he had ignored a vague prophecy and reached the summit without concern.
• Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena reached the summit, while Qian Daoliu chose to descend and preserve his duty as the Angel God High Priest.
• Xie Yue stopped at the 580th step and Yan collapsed at the 510th, so Zhao Linchuan sent Yan safely back down the mountain.
• Reports of Ask Dao Mountain spread across the continent, and Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianxing ordered a million laborers to build a pavilion more impressive than the mountain.
• Emperor Xue Ye ordered Star-Gazing Platforms and Mountain-Gazing Towers across Heaven Dou, and both empires’ construction projects forced commoners into harsh corvée labor.

Zhao Linchuan offered the Light Dragon King a new world as a refuge for the Spirit Beast race, then broke into the Dragon God’s sealed chamber when the king hesitated. The Snow Empress showed the Light Dragon King a likely future of the race’s near extinction, leaving him to consider migration and the possibility that the Silver Dragon Princess could follow the Snow Empress’s path.

• Zhao Linchuan presented an embryonic Small World and argued that the Spirit Beasts should migrate there rather than rely on the Dragon God’s return.

Zhao Linchuan took the Dragon Tomb and brought the Light Dragon King's remnant soul to the Lake of Life, then returned with the Snow Empress to the Immortal Spirit Pavilion. Three months later, Shi Ruijin's Patrol Third Detachment arrested Bishop Miles in Gengxin City and tortured him after he threatened them with an Elder's backing.

• The Light Dragon King asked the Snow Empress to have Zhao Linchuan bring his remnant soul to Douluo Star so he could speak with the Silver Dragon Princess.

• The system ordered Huang San to eat at least three jin of fresh feces in a crowded marketplace while praising its fragrance, or suffer a permanent penalty.

Huang San learned that history had been rewritten and found himself trapped in a weak body with a miserable family and little hope of gaining power.

Huang San completed a humiliating system task by eating filth and gained one Soul Power level, then received a new task requiring him to run naked in a crowded market while singing.
