Chapter Summaries

Xiao Bai rushed to the Tianmu Mountain Range after learning the Tianshan Blood Pool’s ten spots had already been decided, then forced his way through the Energy Tide to challenge a slot holder.

• Jin Shi directed Xiao Bai to start at the maze formation, and Xiao Bai used his Soul Strength to break through it in moments.

Xiao Bai reached the summit of Tianmu Mountain without facing the Gold Devouring Rat Tribe’s Sonic Wave Array and defeated Bing Ze and another Ice River Valley disciple when they challenged him. He took their Blood Pool spots away, then accepted Tang Huo Er’s suggestion to give one spot to her friend Qing Er.

• Jin Shi explained that he had allowed Xiao Bai to climb without activating the Sonic Wave Array to avoid risking the Gold Devouring Rat juniors.

• Tang Huo Er introduced herself as a member of Fen Yan Valley and asked Xiao Bai to give one spot to her friend Qing Er, who arrived on the summit shortly afterward.

Xiao Bai negotiated access to the hidden depths beneath the Tianshan Blood Pool, where he began cultivating with its exceptionally pure energy while resisting the Fire Poison. At the same time, Bing Ze reported Xiao Bai to an Ice River Valley elder, who suspected he was the black-robed Dou Emperor with the Lightning attribute from the Netherworld Great Swamp.

• Jin Shi gave Xiao Bai a rat-skull key to the spatial barrier beneath the pool and explained that the energy there was exceptionally pure but filled with dense Fire Poison.
• Xiao Bai passed through the barrier, used Five-Colored Thunder to repel the Fire Poison, and began rapidly absorbing the energy as his aura climbed.
• Bing Ze and the blue-robed young man told an Ice River Valley elder how Xiao Bai had defeated them, and the elder recognized the description of a black-robed, Lightning-attribute Dou Emperor from the Netherworld Great Swamp.

Xiao Bai spent two months refining the Tianshan Blood Pool’s energy and reached the threshold of breaking through from Dou Huang to Dou Zong. Ice River Valley tried to stop his breakthrough, but Jin Shi defended the blood pool under the alliance agreement, leaving Bing Yuan and Bing Fu to watch the energy gather.

• An Ice River Valley elder suspected that Xiao Bai was the wanted man and ordered Bing Ze and the blue-robed young man to guard the Tianmu Mountain Range’s exit.
• Xiao Bai reached Dou Huang Peak at the bottom of the blood pool and continued cultivating as the blood-red energy strengthened his soul.
• Jin Shi and Jin Gu learned Ice River Valley was monitoring the mountain and later blocked its disciples from entering the blood pool to inspect Xiao Bai.
• After two months, Xiao Bai’s breakthrough caused immense energy to gather above the blood pool, and Jin Shi and Jin Gu realized he was advancing to Dou Zong.
• Bing Fu attacked the gathering energy, but Jin Shi blocked him, and Bing Yuan withdrew rather than violate the alliance agreement protecting anyone inside the blood pool.

After emerging from the blood pool with new mastery of space and Five-Colored Thunder Light, Xiao Bai cured Jin Shi’s Fire Poison and confronted Bing Fu and Bing Yuan. He revealed his true appearance and attacked Bing Fu, beginning a battle with the two Ice River Valley elders.

• After Xiao Bai invoked their past encounter at Netherworld Marsh, Jin Shi withdrew his tribe’s members, while Bing Fu and Xiao Bai prepared to fight.
• Xiao Bai vanished and struck at Bing Fu with a giant palm wrapped in Five-Colored Thunder Light, and Bing Fu raised layers of ice to defend himself.

Xiao Bai refined the Ice Venerate Strength from his frozen arm, reached Four Star Dou Zong, and devised a way to bait Ice River Valley using the ice python’s tracking signal. He realized he needed to strengthen his Five Elements to awaken the golden Thunder Seed and set out for Tianbei City to reunite with Xian Er and Zi Yan and revive Heavenly Flame Yao.

After learning from Cai Lin’s drawing that he would become a father, Xiao Bai began adapting a pill formula so his child could cultivate his special method. He found the final missing ingredient, Profound Nether Tiger essence blood, and Han Yue offered to take him to her father to negotiate for it.

• Xiao Bai read Cai Lin’s drawing and realized she was pregnant, then embraced Xiao Yi Xian and admitted the news made the world feel more real to him.
• Xiao Bai spent three days and nights modifying the Heaven Soul Blood Fusion Pill formula into the Four Symbols Soul Spirit Pill to make his child more compatible with his cultivation method.
