Chapter Summaries

Su Fan persuaded Snow Empress to become his Soul Spirit by explaining how his Heavenly Circuit Apertures could buffer the clash of Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire and how he could continue advancing toward godhood. Snow Empress chose to sacrifice herself to him, but Su Fan postponed opening the God-Sealing Platform until he had informed the sect leader.

• Snow Empress questioned whether Su Fan could withstand the clash between Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, and he explained how his Heavenly Circuit Apertures buffered the opposing forces.
• Su Fan argued that Snow Empress had nothing to lose by accepting his contract, and she agreed to offer herself as a sacrifice.
• Snow Empress questioned whether Su Fan could absorb her Soul Ring, and he revealed that he had condensed a Soul Core and would not face major bottlenecks before level ninety.
• Su Fan summoned Hunyuan and described his plan to help the Primordial Immortal Grass become a god with the Blade of Life, convincing Snow Empress of his prospects.
• Snow Empress asked Su Fan to open the God-Sealing Platform, but he said he first needed to explain the sacrifice to the sect leader.

Su Fan told Du Busi that he planned to replace Scarlet King with Snow Empress as his seventh Soul Ring and explained his plan to hunt the Star Dou Great Forest's Auspicious Beast. After Du Busi agreed to act first, Snow Empress began her sacrifice, leaving Su Fan to receive her Soul Ring and chosen right arm Soul Bone.

• Su Fan told Du Busi that Snow Empress's embryo was losing its ability to grant a Second Martial Soul, but that he intended to absorb her Soul Ring and Soul Bone.
• Su Fan explained that Snow Empress had agreed to cooperate and outlined his plan to hunt the Auspicious Beast to help break the restriction on Soul Beasts becoming gods.
• Du Busi hesitated over hunting the Star Dou Great Forest's Auspicious Beast, then agreed they should capture it before discussing the matter with Di Tian.
• Su Fan activated the God-Sealing Platform, and Snow Empress appeared and confirmed the Soul Spirit Array was an Equal Array.
• Su Fan and Snow Empress connected their spiritual powers, and Snow Empress began her sacrifice and condensed a right arm Soul Bone for him.

Su Fan fused the Snow Empress’s right arm Soul Bone and Soul Ring, gaining her three supreme techniques and a powerful ice attribute. The resulting imbalance left him determined to hunt the Auspicious Beast for its fire attribute and destiny power.

• Su Fan began fusing the Snow Empress’s Soul Bone, but its power clashed with his torso bone until Hunyuan used the Blade of Life to help the Snow Empress shape it into the Emperor Sword.
• The Snow Empress bestowed Emperor Sword, Emperor Palm, and Emperor Cold Heaven upon Su Fan through the Soul Bone, then condensed an orange-gold Soul Ring with seven golden bands for him.
• Su Fan spent ten hours absorbing the Soul Ring, and its icy power froze his room and spread frost across nearly all of Snow Demon Mountain.
• Su Fan realized the ice and fire within him were unbalanced and told Du Busi to seek information about the Auspicious Beast.
• Su Fan concluded that Huo Yuhao had likely already encountered the Auspicious Beast and resolved to kill it, absorb its Soul Ring, and inherit its destiny attribute.

Du Busi searched for a way to weaken his cultivation enough to form a third Soul Core without crippling himself, then learned that an exchange event between Mingde Hall, Shrek Academy, and the three nations had already been arranged. He was left questioning why the Body Sect had not been informed sooner, as Su Fan could benefit from studying at Mingde Hall.

• Su Fan considered when to hunt the Auspicious Beast and how the Body Sect might survive the Beast Tide, then left the problem to Du Busi.
• Du Busi realized he lacked enough Soul Power to form a third Soul Core and considered abolishing and rebuilding his cultivation.
• Du Busi proposed purging the poison in his body to lower his cultivation, but worried the process could collapse his poison-related Soul Cores and chose to wait until his allies grew stronger.
• Du Busi decided to strengthen his Mental Soul Core and begin transferring his Poison Arts while continuing to seek a safer method.
• Vina told Du Busi that Mingde Hall, Shrek Academy, and the three nations had arranged an exchange event, explaining that the Body Sect had not been told because its strained relationship with Shrek made participation awkward.

Du Busi told Su Fan that the Heavenly Soul Royal Family wanted him to travel to Mingde Hall and help secure Xiao Hongchen or Meng Hongchen as a hostage. Su Fan refused the exchange, then told Du Busi he needed to go to Dragon City and might need him to accompany him.

• Vina explained that the Heavenly Soul Royal Family wanted the Body Sect to help bring Xiao Hongchen or Meng Hongchen to the royal family, using Su Fan’s exchange visit to Mingde Hall as leverage.
• Du Busi questioned the royal family’s request and went to tell Su Fan about it.
• Su Fan decided not to go to Mingde Hall because he had little to gain and considered the journey dangerous.
• Su Fan stopped Du Busi as he was leaving and said he needed to travel to Dragon City, possibly with Du Busi accompanying him.

Su Fan and Du Busi entered the Earth Dragon Sect’s hidden well and discovered the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave. Snow Empress emerged to inspect its Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and explained that only Soul Power with the Ultimate Ice attribute could extract them.

• Su Fan persuaded Du Busi to visit Dragon City after claiming he had sensed an unusual icy aura there.
• Su Fan led Du Busi into Earth Dragon Sect, where Du Busi detected a powerful chill coming from a well and descended into it.
• Su Fan and Du Busi found a sealed cave beneath the cold spring and entered it through a spatial rift.
• Inside the cave, Su Fan illuminated the deep-blue Ice Extreme Divine Crystals covering its surfaces.
• Snow Empress appeared, recognized the crystals as rare treasures, and explained that Ultimate Ice Soul Power was needed to remove them.

Su Fan refined Ice Extreme Divine Crystal into his Apertures while Du Busi discovered he could safely separate and store his poison energy. Beneath the spring, they found Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, which Snow Empress planned to use to rebuild her body and increase her cultivation.

• Snow Empress cut off Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, and Su Fan melted some of it into his right-palm Aperture using Electrolux's artifact-forging method.
• Su Fan considered combining his Aperture cultivation with Mingde Hall's Aperture Soul Tool research to strengthen his Apertures.
• Du Busi used a hollowed Ice Extreme Divine Crystal to contain and refine his poison-attributed energy, allowing him to gradually reduce and rebuild his cultivation.
• Snow Empress cut down the remaining Ice Extreme Divine Crystals, and Du Busi and Su Fan continued exploring beneath the spring source.
• Su Fan, Du Busi, and Snow Empress found Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow; Snow Empress estimated it could raise her cultivation to nine hundred thousand years and help her condense a body.

Su Fan returned from the Earth Dragon Sect with the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals and proposed using his Second Martial Soul’s Soul Rings to help Snow Empress reach a million years of cultivation. After a month of refining the crystals, he met an eighth-rank Soul Engineer from Mingde Hall, who sought his cooperation on a new Aperture Path research laboratory in the Heaven Dou Empire.

• Su Fan promised Snow Empress that she could delay reclaiming her cultivation and later use his Second Martial Soul’s Soul Rings to advance toward a million years.
• Su Fan and Du Busi left the Earth Dragon Sect, with Su Fan offering to share the 108-Aperture Method and help the sect in the future as compensation.
• Du Busi and Su Fan returned to Snow Demon Mountain and entered seclusion to cultivate with the Ice Extreme Divine Crystals.
• After a month, Snow Empress advised Su Fan to pause refining his apertures until he obtained a fire-attributed treasure.
• Su Fan met an eighth-rank Mingde Hall Soul Engineer, who said Mingde Hall planned to establish an Aperture Path research laboratory in the Heaven Dou Empire and wanted to cooperate with him.

Su Fan negotiated with Mingde Hall to lead research on Aperture Soul Tools in exchange for Crimson Sun Divine Iron. A month later, the laboratory and research team arrived, including Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen greeted Su Fan with restrained rivalry.

• Su Fan rejected Mingde Hall's offer of research results and a laboratory, asking instead for Crimson Sun Divine Iron.
• The eighth-level Soul Engineer offered one cubic meter of Crimson Sun Divine Iron, paid over three years, and Su Fan negotiated to receive ten standard-sized pieces each month.
• Mingde Hall agreed to build a laboratory and send Soul Engineers to begin the Aperture Soul Tool research project.
• One month later, Su Fan learned that Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and a seventh-level Soul Engineer were leading the project.
• Xiao Hongchen greeted Su Fan with concealed fighting spirit.

Su Fan met Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to begin researching Aperture Soul Tools, but refused to reveal his Martial Soul before seeing their progress. The chapter ended with Su Fan testing their first-generation device and learning that the Spirit Crystal sphere did not merge into his body.

• Xiao Hongchen challenged Su Fan to spar, but Su Fan refused and warned him not to cause trouble while they cooperated.
• Xiao Hongchen led Su Fan to the heavily armed laboratory outside Heaven Dou City.
• Su Fan refused to release his Martial Soul and asked to inspect the latest Aperture Soul Tool.
• Meng Hongchen explained that the first-generation device used Spirit Crystal and could be placed at a Soul Master's meridian nodes.
• Su Fan injected Soul Power into the crimson sphere, but it did not react, and Xiao Hongchen explained that it was still a tangible substance.

Su Fan examined Mingde Hall’s Aperture Soul Tool and proposed linking multiple tools to expand the space available for Core Arrays. After he showed Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen his own enormous Apertures, Xiao Hongchen became determined to improve the Soul Tools, while Su Fan pressed to begin the research.

• Su Fan questioned the painful implantation required by the Aperture Soul Tool, and Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen explained that it was the result of Mingde Hall’s research.
• Su Fan tested the tool and sensed that its Core Array gathered surrounding energy of heaven and earth into a channel.
• After hearing Xiao Hongchen describe the difficulties of fitting spatial materials and Core Arrays into a tiny tool, Su Fan proposed linking many Aperture Soul Tools to create a shared area.
• Su Fan manifested two Apertures for the siblings to examine, and Xiao Hongchen was astonished by their vast interior space.
• Xiao Hongchen resolved to keep researching Aperture Soul Tools, and Su Fan asked whether his linked-tool proposal could be adopted.

Su Fan reviewed the Sun Moon Empire’s Linkage Technology and considered how it could improve Aperture Soul Tools. He left Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to handle the initial research, reserving Electrolux’s help until Mingde Hall offered him more in return.

• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen admitted they had never studied Linkage Technology, so Xiao Hongchen offered to ask his grandfather for the latest research.
• Five days later, Su Fan received materials on Linkage Technology, which the Sun Moon Royal Family had quickly provided for the Aperture Soul Tool project.
• Su Fan reasoned that the empire prized Apertures for storing and driving Soul Power and for inscribing Core Arrays, while he could use the first-generation tools to manifest Apertures more easily.
• Su Fan and Electrolux assessed the technology’s potential, noting that it could link fifth-grade Soul Tools but would require simplified Core Arrays for Aperture Soul Tools.
• Su Fan declined Electrolux’s offer to help immediately and decided Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen should conduct the initial research until Mingde Hall offered greater benefits.

Su Fan reached Level 75 after half a year of cultivation while continuing his Soul Tool research, and the Snow Empress worried about his rapid progress and future Soul Cores. In the God Realm, Tang San plotted to use Huo Yuhao and the Lovesick Heartbreak Red to reshape Tang Wutong’s prospects, then discovered his Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was missing.

• Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Su Fan advanced their Soul Tool research, while Su Fan increasingly focused on refining the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and Crimson Sun Divine Iron.
• The Snow Empress warned Su Fan that gaining two Soul Power levels in half a year was unusually fast, and Su Fan attributed his progress to having condensed a Soul Core early.
• Su Fan told the Snow Empress he would need to condense a Second Soul Core at Level 89 and teased that her eventual million-year breakthrough might help him form a third.
• Tang San planned for Huo Yuhao to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red for Xiao Qi, hoping it would reshape her body and soul and improve her chances of inheriting the Butterfly God’s Godhood.
• Tang San sensed that the Auspicious Beast’s divine soul was nearing human form and decided to prepare another Lovesick Heartbreak Red for her.
• Tang San checked the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well through the Divine Realm Hub and was stunned to find it missing.

Tang San discovered that the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been stolen and suspected Su Fan, whose Aperture Method had transformed the continent. While Da Ming and Er Ming investigated the Body Sect, Su Fan continued developing his Aperture cultivation with Mingde Hall’s Linkage Technology.

• Tang San found the Immortal Herbs and Lovesick Heartbreak Red missing, then identified Su Fan as a likely thief and potential future god.
• Tang San asked Da Ming and Er Ming to investigate Su Fan, and Da Ming directed Er Ming to trace the Body Sect through the Heavenly Soul Royal Family.
• Su Fan equipped his Apertures with Linkage Technology and considered testing their full power, but decided to hold back.
• Da Ming and Er Ming learned that the Body Sect had recruited Su Fan, obtained the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, and partnered with Mingde Hall.
• Da Ming told Er Ming to go to the Heavenly Soul Royal Family and obtain its inheritance of 108 Apertures.

After Tang San's Divine Sense scanned the laboratory and Snow Demon Mountain, Su Fan returned to the Body Sect and helped Du Busi resist the probe with Electrolux's power. Su Fan identified Tang San as the likely watcher and began explaining how Du Busi could strengthen his spiritual power, leaving him describing the Mental Domain.

• Electrolux sensed Tang San's Divine Sense probing the laboratory, so Su Fan left and told Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to bring future research problems to the Body Sect.
• Du Busi resisted the Divine Sense that swept Snow Demon Mountain, but the effort left him weakened.
• Su Fan returned to Snow Demon Mountain, and Electrolux reinforced Du Busi's spiritual barrier until Tang San's probe vanished.
• Su Fan told Du Busi that the Divine Sense likely belonged to the Sea God Tang San and urged him to improve his spiritual power.
• Su Fan explained the spiritual power realms and began describing how Soul Masters could unlock a Mental Domain after reaching the Spirit Domain Realm.

Su Fan explained Mental Domains to Du Busi and Electrolux, who decided to explore cultivating one through the Soul Beast system. After Tang San’s Divine Sense attacks stopped, Niu Tian challenged the Body Sect over the Immortal Herbs, but Du Busi defeated him; the chapter ended with Da Ming recounting Du Busi’s three Soul Cores to Er Ming.

• Su Fan explained that Mental Domains marked the Spirit Domain Realm, and Electrolux asked whether he could awaken one.
• Su Fan suggested Electrolux become an undead Soul Beast and later cultivate as a human, while Electrolux also considered asking the Evil Emperor about the Holy Demon Continent.
• Du Busi, Su Fan, and Electrolux focused on cultivation as Tang San’s Divine Sense repeatedly attacked Snow Demon Mountain, and they held it back.
• The Clear Sky Sect’s Niu Tian confronted the Body Sect over the Immortal Herbs, attacked Du Busi, and fled wounded after their battle on Snow Demon Mountain.
• Da Ming told Er Ming that Du Busi’s three Soul Cores had overwhelmed him, leaving Er Ming astonished.

Da Ming and Er Ming realized that Du Busi might be using Apertures to simulate his Three Soul Cores, prompting the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy to intensify their research. On Snow Demon Mountain, Electrolux recovered to the one-hundred-thousand-year level and announced that he would soon face a Lightning Tribulation and take human form.

• Da Ming theorized that Du Busi’s Three Soul Cores were simulated through Apertures, and he and Er Ming concluded that the Aperture Path could let them pursue the same power.
• Da Ming ordered the Clear Sky Sect disciples to cultivate and research the Heavenly Circuit Apertures, while Shrek Academy also increased its efforts to study the Aperture Path.
• Xuan Zi regretted neglecting Aperture cultivation after learning that Apertures might help him condense a Second Soul Core; he had reached only eighty-three Apertures.
• Du Busi and Su Fan discussed how Tang San’s surveillance kept Du Busi confined to Snow Demon Mountain, and Su Fan said a Mental Domain could solve the problem.
• Electrolux reached his recovered one-hundred-thousand-year cultivation and told Du Busi and Su Fan that a Lightning Tribulation was approaching, after which he could take human form and begin cultivating anew.

Electrolux endured a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation, using its energy to complete his transformation while Su Fan tempered his own body with the lightning. Electrolux emerged as a young man with five Soul Rings and revealed that his spiritual power had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm.

• Electrolux faced an exceptionally powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Lightning Tribulation, and Snow Empress realized he was absorbing its power to accelerate his transformation.
• Su Fan drew tribulation lightning into his body through an Aperture and repeatedly tempered himself with the Heavenly Circuit Apertures.
• Electrolux completed his transformation and appeared as a youth with five grayish-gold Soul Rings.
• Electrolux examined his new body and explained to Snow Empress that he had originally been human, so he lacked a Soul Beast's aura.
• Su Fan asked Electrolux about his spiritual power, and Electrolux said he had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Tang San’s accumulated Divine Sense attacked Snow Demon Mountain, but Du Busi awakened his Mental Domain, Absolute Erosion, and weakened the God King’s power. Tang San withdrew and prepared to send down divine power, only for the God of Destruction to confront him.

• Electrolux reassured Su Fan that he could still use Divine Sense after taking form, as Tang San’s powerful probe descended on Snow Demon Mountain.
• Du Busi and Electrolux struggled against Tang San’s Divine Sense while Su Fan realized how powerless he was against a God King’s strength.
• Under the pressure, Du Busi linked the Soul Apertures in his Sea of Consciousness and comprehended his Mental Domain, Absolute Erosion.
• Du Busi used Absolute Erosion and his Poison Arts to weaken Tang San’s Divine Sense, then absorbed the portion he had eroded into his Sea of Consciousness.
• Tang San noticed the erosion, withdrew his remaining Divine Sense, and began channeling Sea God Divine Power through the Divine Realm Hub.
• The God of Destruction arrived at Tang San’s temple and demanded to know what he was doing.

Su Fan tried to reorganize his Soul Apertures, but the attempt damaged his Sea of Consciousness and convinced him to seek another way to cultivate spiritual power. He found that his ice-and-fire power could accelerate the Snow Empress’s refinement of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, then reconsidered his impatience after she warned him against rushing.

• Su Fan meditated near Du Busi and attempted to reorganize his Soul Aperture circulation, but the changes caused violent waves and damage in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Su Fan abandoned the effort and considered using Soul Spirit growth to improve his spiritual power, then asked the Snow Empress how long she needed to absorb the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• The Snow Empress said absorption would take a year and suggested that ice-and-fire tempering could speed it up as Su Fan completed his Second Martial Soul.
• Su Fan used his Heavenly Circuit Apertures to stimulate the Snow Empress’s origin, and she confirmed that the method increased her refinement speed by roughly twenty percent.
• The Snow Empress warned Su Fan not to rush his cultivation, and he recognized that he should seek outside help against Tang San instead of pushing himself excessively.
