Lin Xiao traveled back to the Star Dou Great Forest and refined the Ice Empress’s Soul Bone to strengthen his Dou Qi. He reached the Third Stage of Dou Qi, which the Ice Empress identified as equivalent to the Soul Elder level.

• Lin Xiao told Old Medicine he would delay absorbing the Soul Bone until he could use its energy to cultivate Dou Qi, then set out for the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Lin Xiao awakened a month later after reaching the Third Stage of Dou Qi and bringing his Soul Power to level 20.
• The Ice Empress told Lin Xiao that his Third Stage of Dou Qi was equivalent to the Soul Elder level, and he broke through the cave’s ice with a palm strike.

Lin Xiao met the Auspicious Beast and offered medicinal pills and energy crystals in exchange for a piece of spirit gold beneath the Lake of Life. The Auspicious Beast agreed to consider the trade if Lin Xiao doubled his offer and proved that someone was stealing the spirit gold, leaving the exchange dependent on his claim.

While testing his strength against two Soul Beasts, he was interrupted by a mysterious woman who suspected he was an Evil Soul Master.

• Lin Xiao asked Ice Empress to explain the Soul Spirit method to Di Tian and promised to spread it when he was able.

• Lin Xiao reached level 23 and prepared to test his strength against a tiger and a green python, both about five thousand six hundred years old.
• A mysterious woman used her power to pin the Soul Beasts and asked Lin Xiao if he was an Evil Soul Master; Lin Xiao accused her of being from Shrek.

Lin Xiao refused Zhang Lexuan’s invitation to join Shrek, then attacked her with the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and fled after warning her to investigate her background. Zhang Lexuan survived with a badly burned arm and secretly began to wonder whether Lin Xiao’s claim about Kong Deming was true.

• Lin Xiao rejected Zhang Lexuan’s demand to explain his dislike of Shrek and refused her offer to join the academy.

• Zhang Lexuan refused to return with Zhuang Yusen, troubled by the possibility that Lin Xiao’s claim about her background was true.

Lin Xiao left the Star Dou Great Forest and traveled to the Body Sect, hoping Du Busi could help him awaken his body martial soul. After reaching the sect, Lin Xiao and Old Medicine recognized its powerful master as the eerie-green Dou Emperor they had encountered before.

• At the Body Sect, Old Medicine sensed a Dou Emperor and several Dou Wangs, and Lin Xiao identified the Dou Emperor as Du Busi.
• Old Medicine encouraged Lin Xiao to join the sect and accept another teacher.

Lin Xiao met Du Busi at the Body Sect and revealed his body martial soul and extraordinary soul rings. He accepted Du Busi’s interest in becoming another teacher by explaining that he already had two masters, then introduced them with grand boasts that amused Electrolux.

• Lin Xiao reassured Old Medicine that he would always remain his most important teacher, and Old Medicine encouraged him to meet Electrolux as well.
• At the Body Sect’s council hall, Lin Xiao met Long Aotian, who became curious when he learned Lin Xiao had a body martial soul.
• Du Busi arrived, confirmed Lin Xiao’s body martial soul, and asked him to become his disciple.
• Lin Xiao told Du Busi he already had two teachers and revealed his purple and black soul rings; Du Busi said another teacher would be no problem.
• Lin Xiao recited boastful descriptions of his two teachers, and Electrolux laughed at Old Medicine from inside the ring.

Lin Xiao joined the Body Sect as Du Busi’s disciple and fought Long Aotian, proving his strength despite his age and lower Soul Power. Du Busi decided to appoint Lin Xiao as the Saint Son, replacing Long Aotian as heir.

• Electrolux and Old Medicine joked about Old Medicine’s reputation, while the Ice Empress relaxed on Xiao Hei.
• Du Busi accepted Lin Xiao’s account, and Lin Xiao became his disciple before meeting the Body Sect elders and Long Aotian.
• Long Aotian challenged Lin Xiao to a spar, and the elders sealed off the Great Hall as the two prepared to fight.
• Lin Xiao used his Soul Skills and Eight Extremes Collapse to battle Long Aotian evenly, and Long Aotian conceded after being knocked back.
• Lin Xiao revealed he would turn seven in three months, and Du Busi announced he would make Lin Xiao the Saint Son even if Long Aotian disagreed.

Lin Xiao joined the Body Sect as its Saint Son, though he asked Du Busi to delay announcing the position until he could protect himself. After receiving the Secret of the Body, he gave spirit gold to Electrolux so the elder could recover.

• Long Aotian accepted Lin Xiao's strength and welcomed him as his junior brother and the Body Sect Saint Son.

• Lin Xiao asked Old Medicine whether anyone was watching, then sent spirit gold into the ring for Electrolux to use in his recovery.
• Electrolux offered to expand Lin Xiao's Sea of Consciousness, but Lin Xiao told him to use all the spirit gold to recover and said he knew another source.

Lin Xiao learned that Old Medicine could help him achieve a gold-grade awakening of his Body Martial Soul, then told Du Busi that his teachers could help him break through to level 99. Du Busi questioned why Lin Xiao had joined the Body Sect and laughed when Lin Xiao said he wanted to awaken his Body Martial Soul.

• Lin Xiao gave Electrolux spirit gold to help him recover and asked Old Medicine to assess the Secret of the Body.
• Old Medicine said medicinal pills could ensure Lin Xiao achieved a gold-grade awakening while reducing its cost, and planned to refine the technique further with Electrolux.
• Lin Xiao studied the Secret of the Body and learned it required forcing an awakening under extreme, life-threatening conditions.
• Du Busi reassured Long Aotian that Lin Xiao and his ancestors were clean, though he remained uncertain about Lin Xiao's teachers.
• Lin Xiao told Du Busi that his teachers could help him reach level 99, then explained he had joined the Body Sect to awaken his Body Martial Soul.
• Du Busi laughed at Lin Xiao's answer, pleased that Lin Xiao's teachers did not seem to know everything.

Lin Xiao told Du Busi that condensing a soul core was his safest path to level 99, while the immortal herbs at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well carried the threat of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and possible divine sense. Du Busi doubted he could condense another soul core, and Old Medicine offered to help despite the risk of falling asleep.

• Lin Xiao told Du Busi that immortal herbs and medicinal pills could help him reach level 99, alongside condensing another soul core.
• Lin Xiao realized a poison source might let Du Busi condense a soul core by resolving conflicting energies.
• Lin Xiao warned Du Busi that the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well held dangerous immortal herbs transformed into hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and might contain divine sense.
• Du Busi decided that using the poison source was safer than seeking the herbs, but admitted he lacked confidence in condensing another soul core.
• Old Medicine asked Lin Xiao how likely he thought it was that Old Medicine could help, and Lin Xiao warned that the effort might leave him asleep.
• Old Medicine said that sleep was not death and that he could recover.

Lin Xiao and Old Medicine planned to capture Tang San's divine sense, with Du Busi agreeing to help them escape afterward. Three days later, Electrolux recovered, and he told Lin Xiao they could set out.

• Old Medicine rejected possessing Du Busi but agreed he might capture the divine sense if spirit gold kept him awake.
• Electrolux urged Old Medicine to capture the divine sense, and Old Medicine told Lin Xiao to have Du Busi flee with him when the time came.
• Lin Xiao convinced Du Busi to join the plan and run when Old Medicine acted.
• Old Medicine said Elder Yi would recover in three days, while Electrolux promised Lin Xiao a planar world.
• Three days later, Electrolux recovered, introduced himself as Chen Ge, and told Lin Xiao they could go to the place.

Lin Xiao and Du Busi found the hidden Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, where Old Medicine sensed Tang San's dormant divine sense. Old Medicine appeared to draw it out, leaving the confrontation about to begin.

• Lin Xiao and Du Busi set out for Sunset Forest, and Du Busi brought a map that Lin Xiao said would be useless.
• Du Busi sensed a terrifying presence as they searched the forest, and after three days they found the poison-shrouded site surrounded by dead soul beasts.
• Du Busi tested the poisonous mist and said its toxins might help him condense another soul core.
• Old Medicine sensed a dormant divine sense inside the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and warned that his attack could provoke Tang San's true body.
• Lin Xiao and Du Busi prepared for Old Medicine to strike, and Old Medicine appeared above the poisonous mist, drawing a startled cry from within.

Old Medicine overwhelmed Tang San’s divine sense at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, forcing Tang San to investigate from the God Realm. Destruction delayed him, so Tang San sent Da Ming and Er Ming to the well to find out what had happened.

• Old Medicine suppressed Tang San’s divine sense with bone spirit cold flame and vanished with it, ordering Du Busi and Lin Xiao to flee.
• Tang San sensed the loss of his divine sense, left Xiao Wu, and hurried toward the God Realm Central Hub in a rage.
• Destruction stopped Tang San from inspecting the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well and accompanied him to observe Wang Dong.
• After Destruction left, Tang San contacted Da Ming and Er Ming, claiming someone had stolen an opportunity intended for Tang Wutong.
• Tang San gave Da Ming and Er Ming the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well’s coordinates, and they rushed there to investigate.

After escaping the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Lin Xiao and Du Busi returned to the Body Sect, where Lin Xiao prepared to cultivate and asked Du Busi to obtain a List Engraving Knife for Old Medicine. Electrolux then formally accepted Lin Xiao as his disciple and revealed a world of undead for Lin Xiao to manage, leaving Lin Xiao eager to use it against Tang San.

• Lin Xiao explained that Electrolux had purified the traces he and Du Busi had carried from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, and Du Busi agreed they should remain at the Body Sect for several months.
• Lin Xiao asked Du Busi to obtain the List Engraving Knife Soul Devourer, and Du Busi agreed to have Jin Peng buy it.
• Lin Xiao said he would enter seclusion and help Du Busi break through to level 99 afterward.
• Electrolux told Lin Xiao that Old Medicine, whom he called Chen Ge, was sleeping and was fine, then asked Lin Xiao to formally become his disciple.
• Electrolux brought Lin Xiao and the Ice Empress into his unfinished world of undead and said Lin Xiao would manage it and learn Necromancy Magic.
• Lin Xiao asked whether he could bring the souls of people and Soul Beasts he killed into the world, then asked whether they could take out Tang San's Divine Sense.

Lin Xiao arranged for Tang San’s divine sense to become a conscious puppet and asked Electrolux how to free Han Shan Shan’s soul from Old Medicine’s heavenly flame. Electrolux said the plane’s power might make it possible, and Lin Xiao resolved to use Tang Hao to strengthen the plane.

• Lin Xiao told Electrolux to preserve Tang San’s memories and consciousness while turning his divine sense into a puppet.
• Lin Xiao explained that Tang San had split his daughter’s soul in two, and Electrolux offered to give Tang San a body so he could feel pain.
• Lin Xiao told Electrolux that Han Shan Shan’s soul was fused with Old Medicine’s heavenly flame and asked whether it could be extracted.
• Electrolux said he could not safely handle the heavenly flame, but the plane’s power might extract Han Shan Shan’s soul if the flame became her body.
• Lin Xiao decided that Tang Hao, who was devouring the plane consciousness, could help strengthen the plane.

Electrolux taught Lin Xiao Necromancy Magic and gave him control of the Undead Demiplane, where Lin Xiao trained for a month. After returning, Lin Xiao received the List Engraving Knife from Du Busi, and Electrolux used its spirit gold to begin expanding Lin Xiao’s Sea of Consciousness while reviving Old Medicine.

• Electrolux passed Necromancy Magic and the method for opening the Undead Demiplane to Lin Xiao, then made him its master.
• Lin Xiao asked about the immortal herbs and the Poison Scripture, and Electrolux explained that the herbs needed time to awaken and could be made into pills by Chen Ge.
• Lin Xiao trained in Necromancy Magic, soul power, and dou qi in the demiplane for a month before returning through a spatial doorway.
• Du Busi gave Lin Xiao the List Engraving Knife he had purchased, and Lin Xiao thanked him before taking it back to Electrolux.
• Electrolux purified the knife and extracted its spirit gold, using half to revive Old Medicine and the other half to open and expand Lin Xiao’s Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Xiao learned that Old Medicine had recovered and sensed a flame resembling a heavenly flame near the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, though they decided to wait before investigating. Old Medicine offered Du Busi a choice between taking an immortal herb immediately or waiting for pills, and Du Busi chose to search for the ingredients needed to make them.

• Old Medicine told Lin Xiao his soul power had reached the mortal realm and revealed that he had sensed an aura resembling a heavenly flame near the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Lin Xiao agreed to postpone visiting the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well until the commotion settled, then went to summon Du Busi at Old Medicine's request.
• Old Medicine offered Du Busi the Blood Swan Kiss for an immediate breakthrough or medicinal pills that could better draw out the immortal herbs' effects.
• Du Busi chose to wait for the pills, memorized the three missing ingredients, and ordered the Body Sect's senior members to search for them.
• Electrolux urged Lin Xiao to cultivate diligently, and Old Medicine began teaching him pill refinement while preparing to turn the immortal herbs into pills.
