Chapter Summaries

Su Chen confirmed that his cultivation system did not rely on Soul Rings or Soul Bones, prompting Snow Empress to join him in the Far North to help advance his research. After a month of traveling and building trust, he obtained blood samples from the three Soul Beasts and asked why records of Soul Beasts older than a hundred thousand years were so rare.

• Snow Empress asked whether Su Chen's cultivation system could free Soul Masters from hunting Soul Beasts, and he said it could break the limits imposed by Soul Rings and Soul Bones.
