Chapter Summaries

Lin Xiao and the others discussed the Undead Demiplane’s development and how it could support their plans with the Soul Beast Race. They decided to use Tang San’s captive Divine Sense to retrieve a sea flame, and Lin Xiao proposed giving it a second body in the form of a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.

• Old Medicine and Electrolux warned Lin Xiao that the Undead Demiplane was not yet developed enough to sustain living people, so the Body Sect could not move there.
• Lin Xiao explained to Du Busi that he had withheld the Soul Spirit Method because he planned to cooperate with the Soul Beast Race and eventually change Douluo’s Cultivation System.
• Du Busi suggested bringing the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well into the demiplane, but Lin Xiao said there was no need to rush and prioritized dealing with Tang San’s Divine Sense and the sea flame.
• Old Medicine agreed that they could retrieve the sea flame, and Electrolux suggested using Tang San’s Divine Sense to help.
• Lin Xiao proposed switching Tang San’s Divine Sense between a battle body and a disposable body to torture it, then suggested using a Soul Beast’s body for the latter.
• Electrolux agreed that a low-quality body would work, and Lin Xiao revealed that he planned to use a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, making Tang San’s Divine Sense tremble.

Lin Xiao had Tang San's divine sense bound to a concealed puppet body that he could control with his flame. After the exchange ended, Lin Xiao and his companions planned to collect another flame, while Weina would learn as much Soul Tool Technology as she could.

• Electrolux prepared a pitch-black body from skeletons and the Ice Crystal Divine Crystal, and he and Old Medicine bound Tang San's divine sense inside it.

• Electrolux explained that the puppet could replenish itself wherever Soul Power was available and that its magic concealed its strength and aura.
• Lin Xiao said he would wait until the exchange ended before collecting the flame and would let Weina learn as much Soul Tool Technology as she could.
• Du Busi urged Lin Xiao to collect the flame first, and Old Medicine and Electrolux agreed to proceed.

Lin Xiao traveled to the depths near Sea God Island to retrieve a violet flame, leaving Xiao Linger behind and taking Puppet Tang San. He discovered that the Demon Empress guarded the flame and raced toward it while the puppet fought her.

• Old Medicine warned Lin Xiao that he could not absorb the flame yet, but Lin Xiao pressed on, determined to take it first.

Lin Xiao and Old Medicine tried to seize the powerful flame guarded by the Demon Empress, while a Sea God Island patrol arrived after the fighting ended. The Demon Empress escaped, and the High Priest put Sea God Island on alert against the unknown forces.

• Lin Xiao used Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to approach the flame, but the Demon Empress attacked before Old Medicine could explain how to contain it.

Zhang Lexuan exposed the group’s treatment of Xiao Xiao and Ling Luochеn, Ma Xiaotao collapsed after learning the truth, and Lin Xiao accused Yan Shaozhe of trying to kill him.

• Zhang Lexuan challenged Yan Shaozhe, and Lin Xiao announced that Yan Shaozhe had tried to kill him months earlier.

Du Busi beat Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi while Lin Xiao taunted Shrek, but Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire finally corrupted her and transformed her into a Black Phoenix. She attacked Dai Yueheng, and a spear intervened just before her strike landed.

• Du Busi slapped Yan Shaozhe and drove Shrek’s Elders to watch rather than intervene.

Lin Xiao sent Bei Bei to the Heaven Dou Empire with the Dragon Pill in exchange for information about Tang Ya, while Du Busi forced Shrek to pay a huge compensation for harming his disciple. The chapter left Yan Shaozhe retrieving the demanded treasures as Lin Xiao judged Shrek to have lost its backbone.

• Lin Xiao told Bei Bei to meet him at the Heaven Dou Empire Auction House with the Dragon Pill, and Bei Bei left Shrek to seek news of Tang Ya.

• Huo Yuhao worried he could not defeat Lin Xiao, while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged him to grow stronger and admitted he could not find Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Yan Shaozhe returned with Shrek’s compensation, and Du Busi inspected the Soul Bones and treasures before leaving with Lin Xiao and the others.

The group returned to the Body Sect, where Du Busi and the other elders learned about Lin Xiao’s plans and the forces controlling Huo Yuhao.

• Lin Xiao explained that Tang Hao was devouring the Douluo Plane’s consciousness and that Huo Yuhao’s former role as the Plane’s Son had failed to stop him.
• Du Busi misunderstood Lin Xiao’s claim that the person beside Huo Yuhao was his leash, and the elders teased him for assuming Huo Yuhao had an unusual fetish.

Lin Xiao revealed Tang San's plan to control Douluo Continent and explained how he had thwarted the plan involving Ling'er. Du Busi began torturing Tang San's Divine Sense inside a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit, while Lin Xiao worried that Shrek might gather powerful allies and decided to visit Di Tian.

• Lin Xiao told Du Busi and Old Medicine that Tang San intended to control Douluo Continent and had split his daughter's soul into three parts, including one meant for Ling'er.
• Du Busi condemned Tang San and, with Electrolux's help, pulled out Tang San's Divine Sense and sealed it inside a Soft Bone Charm Rabbit.
• Electrolux said the rabbit body would last three days and taught Lin Xiao the spell for transferring Tang San's Divine Sense between bodies.
• Du Busi asked to keep the rabbit for a few days, and Lin Xiao suggested letting their disciples help torment Tang San's Divine Sense.
• Lin Xiao considered the possibility that Shrek would ally with powerful factions and decided he needed to visit Di Tian.

At Shrek, Yan Shaozhe asked students to secure alliances from the powers behind them, and Wang Dong agreed to try contacting the Clear Sky Sect.

• Snow Empress thanked Lin Xiao, Old Medicine, and Electrolux for helping her gain a body, and said she was now nearly evenly matched with the Evil Emperor but weaker than Di Tian.
• Snow Empress agreed to return to the Far North to check on it, while Lin Xiao planned to visit Star Dou after she came back.
• Yan Shaozhe gathered Shrek's Elders and students, declared the academy was in crisis, and bowed as he asked them to persuade their affiliated powers to ally with Shrek.
• Wang Dong said she could not decide for the Clear Sky Sect, but Yan Shaozhe urged her to appeal to their shared lineage with Tang San.
• Wang Dong agreed to try asking the Clear Sky Sect, while Xu Sanshi and Ning Tian pledged to stand with Shrek.

Yan Shaozhe arranged for Shrek’s allies to approach several powers, while Lin Xiao remained confident in the Body Sect’s strength. Wang Dong returned to the Clear Sky Sect, where Da Ming and Er Ming urged her to leave Shrek behind.

• Dai Yueheng agreed to ask his father to pursue a discreet alliance between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek, while Wang Dong, Xu Sanshi, and Ning Tian returned to their respective homes.
• Bei Bei initially refused to contact the Heavenly Dragon Gate, but Yan Shaozhe suggested it might know about the Blue Silver Emperor, and Bei Bei agreed to approach it and the Earth Dragon Gate.
• Yan Shaozhe counted the forces Shrek might rally and believed their combined Titled Douluos could overcome the Body Sect, while Lin Xiao trusted the Snow Empress, Du Busi, and his Divine Sense Puppet to protect the sect.
• Wang Dong returned to the Clear Sky Sect and told Da Ming and Er Ming what had happened at Shrek.
• Er Ming and Da Ming told Wang Dong that she and her friends could study at the Clear Sky Sect instead, and Wang Dong reflected on how Shrek had disappointed her since Xuan Zi injured Huo Yuhao and Mu En died.

Wang Dong secured Da Ming and Er Ming’s promise to help Shrek if it faced destruction and asked them to search for a Blue Silver Emperor to help Huo Yuhao. After leaving the Clear Sky Sect, she crossed paths with Lin Xiao and Xiao Linger in Heaven Dou City, where Xiao Linger wanted to attack her but Lin Xiao warned her against it.

• Wang Dong persuaded Da Ming and Er Ming to intervene if Shrek faced utter destruction, though Er Ming said he would be saving her rather than Shrek.
• Wang Dong asked about the Blue Silver Emperor, learned it could help a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul evolve, and mistakenly believed they needed one for both Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya.
• Da Ming told Wang Dong that only one Blue Silver Emperor could exist, and Er Ming promised to tell her if they heard anything about it.
• After resting at the Clear Sky Sect for two days, Wang Dong left, while Lin Xiao departed the Body Sect for the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Lin Xiao and Xiao Linger encountered Wang Dong alone in Heaven Dou City, and Lin Xiao stopped Xiao Linger from attacking because Wang Dong was too dangerous.
