Chapter Summaries

Mu Yuan descended into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body and investigate its depths. After two months, he reached the bottom and found the dragon skeletons of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, whose preserved Dragon Souls had once been God King-level beings.

• Mu Yuan entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and used its ice and fire power to temper his body while King of Ten Thousand Monsters watched and then began cultivating.
• Mu Yuan dived beneath the spring eye and sensed that the Yin Yang Well rested on a powerful leyline whose life essence tamed the ice and fire power.
• Mu Yuan descended through increasingly violent ice and fire power, absorbing primal life essence qi as his body endured repeated destruction and recovery.
• After a month of gradual descent, Mu Yuan saw the two Dragon King skeletons at the bottom of the spring.
• Mu Yuan reached the bottom a month later, examined the skeletons, and sensed that the two Dragon Souls had been preserved and nourished into exceptionally powerful Remnant Souls.

Mu Yuan awakened the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ souls by promising to help them revive, then explained that their power and inheritances were bound to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The Dragon Kings realized they could not safely reclaim their power and asked whether Mu Yuan knew a way to help them.

• Mu Yuan found that the dragon souls resisted communication, so he offered to revive them and shared how he had helped Electrolux return to life.
• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings awakened, questioned Mu Yuan, and agreed to trust him because of the Dragon King inheritances and Dragon Clan Willpower within him.
• The Dragon Kings refused to give up their inheritances, hoping to use their former power if they cultivated anew after revival.
• Mu Yuan warned that their souls had evolved and that their original ice and fire inheritances could destroy them in their current state.
• Mu Yuan revealed that the Dragon Kings’ power was bound to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and that taking it would collapse the well and prevent them from escaping safely.
• The Ice Dragon King asked whether Mu Yuan had a solution, and Mu Yuan said they would be unable to carry it out even if he told them.

Mu Yuan negotiated with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to use their inheritances and Dragon Bones in a plan to transplant Qiankun Asking Love Valley, while Electrolux agreed to help create a new treasured land. During the Ice Dragon King's tribulation in Dragon Valley, he sensed a living dragon egg hidden in the Valley within a Valley, and Mu Yuan flew to investigate it.

• Mu Yuan persuaded the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to cooperate, offering them the power and life essence stored in their remains in exchange for their core inheritances and Soul Bones.
• Mu Yuan advised the Dragon Kings to delay Human Transformation until they had reclaimed their stored power, then introduced them to Electrolux, who sought to create a new treasured land.
• Electrolux constructed Undead bodies for the Dragon Kings, and Mu Yuan moved them to Dragon Valley so they could undergo their tribulations away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• As the Ice Dragon King began his hundred-thousand-year Lightning Tribulation, he sensed a living dragon egg in the Valley within a Valley.
• Mu Yuan flew toward the hidden egg while the Ice Dragon King continued his tribulation.

Mu Yuan recovered a resilient fire dragon egg from the ruins of the Mountain Dragon King's inheritance and let its life grow without interference. He then took Xue'er to Dragon City to seek the Earth Dragon Gate's Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave, where Nan Shui-Shui agreed to grant access in exchange for letting Nan Qiu-Qiu study Bloodline Power at the Body Sect.

• Mu Yuan dug up a nearly lifeless dragon egg, which began absorbing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy after he brought it above ground.
• The Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King chose to let the hatchling break out of its shell on its own, and Mu Yuan later left Dragon Valley after the Dragon Kings' Dragon Souls advanced through their tribulations.
• Mu Yuan and Xue'er arrived in Dragon City to find the Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave, and Mu Yuan went openly to the Earth Dragon Gate.
• Nan Shui-Shui agreed to take Mu Yuan and Xue'er to the secret cultivation place if Nan Qiu-Qiu could train at the Body Sect.
• Mu Yuan realized Nan Shui-Shui hoped Bloodline Power cultivation would stabilize Nan Qiu-Qiu's Rouge Dragon martial soul mutation and strengthen the Nan Family's inherited bloodline.

Mu Yuan agreed to let Nan Qiu-Qiu cultivate at the Body Sect and traveled with Xue'er into Earth Dragon Gate's secret realm. They found and collected Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, then continued down to the source of the cold pool where the Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow lay.

• Mu Yuan agreed to help Nan Qiu-Qiu condense Bloodline Power at the Body Sect without charging Nan Shui-Shui, in exchange for using Earth Dragon Gate's secret realm.
• Nan Qiu-Qiu led Mu Yuan and Xue'er to the well concealing the secret realm, and the two dove into its underground cold pool.
• Xue'er opened a hidden stone chamber and discovered a large deposit of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, confirming the presence of a Myriad Year Profound Ice Cave.
• Mu Yuan and Xue'er melted and collected the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, then continued deeper into the pool.
• Mu Yuan and Xue'er reached the cold pool's spring source, where the extreme chill slowed their Soul Power.

Mu Yuan and Xue'er found the Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow, which Xue'er gathered to strengthen her foundation and advance toward the Snow God Position. After they returned, Mu Yuan invited Nan Shui-Shui to work with the Body Sect, leaving her to weigh the risks and opportunity.

• Mu Yuan and Xue'er descended through the spring's eye and found a small cave containing more than a dozen strands of Myriad Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Xue'er decided to use the marrow to strengthen the quality of her Soul Power rather than raise her cultivation directly, and Mu Yuan approved her plan.
• Mu Yuan let Xue'er collect the marrow, knowing its removal would destroy the source of the cave's freezing current and the benefits Earth Dragon Gate drew from it.
• After returning to the surface, Mu Yuan invited Nan Shui-Shui to work for the Body Sect.
• Nan Shui-Shui considered the opportunity while weighing the danger of aligning Earth Dragon Gate with the Body Sect against Shrek.

Nan Shui-Shui pledged the Earth Dragon Gate to the Body Sect, and Mu Yuan brought her and Nan Qiu-Qiu to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. A year later, Mu Yuan emerged ready for the Ming City Tournament, which he expected to trigger war and the unification of Douluo Continent.

• Nan Shui-Shui chose to ally the Earth Dragon Gate with the Body Sect, and Mu Yuan affirmed that she had made the right decision.

• Mu Yuan told Nan Qiu-Qiu to prepare for the Soul Master Tournament and urged the Earth Dragon Gate to enter a team.
• After a year of cultivation, Mu Yuan emerged from the Ice-Fire Spring Eye as the Ming City Tournament began, confident he could defeat Xuan Zi and roam the continent unhindered.

A year later, Mu Yuan prepared for the Ming City Tournament while his allies advanced and the Earth Dragon Gate took on more of the Body Sect’s work. At Shrek Academy, the Pavilion Elders debated whether to enter a tournament they believed they could not win, even as their Sea God assessments required some of them to go to Ming City.

• Long Aotian reached Level 74 and successfully obtained a Hundred-thousand Year Seventh Soul Ring, while Wei Na expanded her Twin Martial Soul cultivation and Nan Qiu-Qiu condensed Blood Qi.
• The Earth Dragon Gate took over much of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s spiritual herb cultivation and helped establish the Blacksmith Association, reducing the Body Sect’s dependence on the Heaven Soul Royal Family.
• Mu Yuan asked Xue'er to help with a task involving transplanting a treasured land and transforming another, and she agreed despite doubting it could be done.
• Xuan Zi brooded over receiving assessment rewards that did not improve his cultivation, while Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao served as Sea God Pavilion Elders.
• Qian Duoduo argued that Shrek should skip the Ming City Tournament, but another Pavilion Elder pointed out that several Sea God assessments required their holders to go to Ming City.

Huo Yuhao divided Shrek’s strongest disciples between the Shrek and Tang Sect teams so both could compete for the top three and survive their assessments. As the teams prepared for the Ming City tournament, Xu Tianran asked Ju Zi about Xuan Ziwen.

• Huo Yuhao argued that Shrek should split its strongest competitors between two teams to avoid losing everyone if one team failed its assessment.
• Huo Yuhao volunteered for the Tang Sect Team, while Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and He Caitou chose to remain with the Shrek Team; Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao joined Huo Yuhao.
• Jiang Nannan, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng selected teams, and Shrek filled both seven-member rosters with additional disciples.
• Huo Yuhao urged everyone to give their best and hoped both teams could survive the tournament and their assessments.
• In Ming City, Xu Tianran asked Ju Zi how Xuan Ziwen had been lately.

Xu Tianran questioned Ju Zi and Xuan Ziwen about Mu Yuan’s Blood Qi cultivation and the secret method behind Blood Essence Soul Rings, then took Xuan Ziwen’s incomplete Core Array materials to the Offering Hall. Zhongli Wu intercepted him and demanded to inspect the materials.

• Xu Tianran asked Ju Zi whether Xuan Ziwen possessed Mu Yuan’s Blood Qi cultivation method, and Ju Zi cautiously replied that he might have information from their collaboration.
• Xu Tianran went with Ju Zi to Mingde Hall and asked Xuan Ziwen for Mu Yuan’s secret method.
• Xuan Ziwen explained that he only knew the Core Array for condensing Blood Essence Soul Rings and that the technique was incomplete and difficult to learn.
• Xu Tianran took the materials to the imperial palace and headed for the Offering Hall to consult Offering Kong.
• Zhongli Wu appeared behind Xu Tianran and Ju Zi, then demanded to see the materials.

Zhongli Wu reviewed Xu Tianran’s information on Blood Essence Soul Rings and continued watching him for signs of betrayal, while Kong Deming offered to help kill Zhongli Wu if Xu Tianran arranged a suitable trap. At the Ming City tournament venue, Mu Yuan’s reputation made him the overwhelming favorite, and spectators joked that the Shrek Team could win only if the Body Team was disqualified for killing someone.

• Zhongli Wu examined Xu Tianran’s Blood Essence Soul Ring documents, then left without raising suspicion as he kept watch over Xu Tianran.
• Xu Tianran gave Kong Deming the documents and said Zhongli Wu, a Level 98 opponent, had put him in danger; Kong Deming agreed to help kill Zhongli Wu if Xu Tianran set a suitable trap.

• Long Aotian and Mu Yuan visited Ming City’s enormous tournament venue, where spectators and Soul Tool Screens were set up for the event.
• Spectators declared Mu Yuan the certain champion and joked that Shrek Team could win if the Body Team killed someone and was disqualified; Huo Yuhao searched for the speaker without using Mental Detection.

Huo Yuhao considered whether Shrek might need to sacrifice Dai Huabin to defeat the Body Team, while Mu Yuan used a survey of Ming City to approach Qiankun Sun Moon Valley. Xu Tianran revealed the Sun Moon Empire’s plan to capture the tournament teams, then announced that the Body Team would face Shrek in the opening exhibition match.

• Huo Yuhao considered sacrificing Dai Huabin if it could eliminate the Body Team and protect the Shrek companions who had accepted the Sea God Assessment.
• Mu Yuan led the Body Team around Ming City to survey the terrain, and Electrolux sensed Qiankun aura from the distant valley and proposed containing its sun and moon.

• Xu Tianran opened the tournament and announced that the reigning champion Body Team would face the Shrek Team in the exhibition match.

The tournament draw paired Shrek Team against Body Team in the opening exhibition match, and Shrek’s members feared the matchup could end in their elimination.

• Xu Tianran announced that Shrek Team would face Body Team in the exhibition match, which also began the elimination tournament.

• Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and the rest of Shrek Team walked toward the stage as Xu Tianran feared they might be wiped out.

Long Aotian revealed his Hundred-thousand Year Soul Ring, four Blood Essence Soul Rings, and White Jade Grade Martial Soul Second Awakening before unleashing a devastating axe strike against Shrek’s team.

• Bei Bei and the others shouted their surrender, but Yan Shaozhe charged at the axe to stop it.

Long Aotian killed seven Shrek students with a single axe strike, and Yan Shaozhe failed to avenge them when Du Busi intervened. The referee declared Shrek defeated, while observers recognized the Body Sect’s strength and Long Aotian’s exceptional talent.

• Long Aotian’s Giant Axe killed Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and four other Shrek students before Yan Shaozhe broke through the barrier.
• Yan Shaozhe attacked Long Aotian in anger, but Long Aotian used the Jade Dragon King’s power to withstand his strike.
• Du Busi stopped Yan Shaozhe and defended Long Aotian, while the referee declared Shrek Team defeated.
• Du Busi led Long Aotian away as a cloaked observer judged Du Busi stronger than their mother and Uncle Long.
• Xu Tianran watched Long Aotian and recognized him as an outstanding Body Sect disciple alongside Mu Yuan.

Shrek lost to the Body Sect in the exhibition match, and Huo Yuhao received a trial ordering him and his teammates to kill Body Sect disciples. Tang San then assigned Yan Shaozhe a new trial: find Zhongli Wu and use him to help the Tang Sect Team reach the top three, leaving Yan Shaozhe weighing the cost of contacting the Holy Spirit Cult.

• Xu Tianran attributed Long Aotian's improved talent to the Blood Essence Soul Ring and began to value the secret technique behind it.

• Yan Shaozhe accepted Zhongli Wu as his great-uncle and recognized that Mu Yuan’s account of his ancestry was true.

Yan Shaozhe secretly arranged for the Tang Sect Team to avoid the Body Team until the competition’s top three, offering Xu Tianran help in killing Zhongli Wu. Zhongli Wu then led Yan Shaozhe to meet Feng Ling, leaving him realizing his granduncle intended to use him to break through Level 98.

• Yan Shaozhe asked Zhongli Wu to arrange the draw so the Tang Sect Team would not face the Body Team before the finals, and agreed to meet Zhongli Wu’s old acquaintance.
• Zhongli Wu introduced Yan Shaozhe to Xu Tianran, who agreed to cooperate after Yan offered Shrek’s help in killing Zhongli Wu.

• Zhongli Wu told Yan Shaozhe that he would help his granduncle overcome his Level 98 bottleneck.

• Yan Shaozhe told Xuan Zi that Zhongli Wu had gone in a particular direction with a level 97 Evil Soul Master, and Xuan Zi set off after them.
• Blue-gold light awakened Yan Shaozhe, who shouted for Xuan Zi not to pursue Zhongli Wu; Xuan Zi stopped when he saw Niu Tian had not followed.

After Zhongli Wu escaped the black market, Yan Shaozhe warned Xu Tianran that the powerful necromancer might be nearing a breakthrough, prompting a search across Ming City. Zhongli Wu hid in a secret chamber beneath the imperial compound and began condensing his Second Soul Core.

• Yan Shaozhe told Xuan Zi that Zhongli Wu had escaped and revealed that Zhongli Wu had used his power to create a living puppet.
• Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Niu Tian went to Xu Tianran, where Yan Shaozhe reported what had happened and urged him to help find Zhongli Wu.
