Background and History
The clan’s powerful Ferocious Beasts gather around the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest. Its members face a long-standing conflict with Human Soul Masters, who hunt Soul Beasts for soul rings and bones; human expansion has also reduced their living space. Gu Yuena directs the clan, while Di Tian brings news of opportunities from the human world to her attention 72 109 154 156.
The Starry Sky Auction House becomes a major source of those opportunities. Di Tian obtains a Twin Spirit Contract despite Xiong Jun’s distrust of treasures from human Soul Masters. The clan subsequently buys Human Transformation Pills and plans to send transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts into the human world to gather intelligence 72 77 100.
Soul Spirits initially offer hope of reducing the need to kill Soul Beasts for rings, though Di Tian doubts they will end hunting entirely. Bi Ji’s successful combination of a transformation pill, Martial Soul, and Soul Spirit gives the clan another reason to pursue auction treasures. Gu Yuena orders her followers to prioritize those three kinds of item 157 166.
Cultivation and Adaptation
Human transformation
- Human Transformation Pills let Soul Beasts take human form without losing their existing combat power, switch between forms, and conceal their Soul Beast aura 77 341.
- Transformed Soul Beasts can absorb auctioned human Martial Souls and add soul rings to them. Bi Ji is the clan’s demonstrated example 164 166 341.
Soul Spirits
- A contracted Soul Spirit can provide multiple soul rings and remain as a battle companion. This could reduce Soul Beast deaths, but the high price of auction-created Soul Spirits means hunting does not immediately cease 156 157 347.
- The Starry Sky Auction House can create Soul Spirits without taking Soul Beasts from Douluo Continent, offering an alternative source for Soul Masters 158 263.
God-tier advancement
- The clan seeks ways past the obstacles to Soul Beast godhood. Bi Ji says her God Stone concealed her breakthrough from the God Realm’s perception 248.
- Di Tian and other Ferocious Beasts challenge the Ten Directions Trial Tower, but have not cleared it after a month. The clan also buys a Bodhi Seed in hopes of helping Di Tian reach the Million-Year level 383 387 410.
