Chapter Summaries

Xu Xiao exhausted himself fighting an eighty-thousand-year Ice Bird in the Far North, and Zi Ji killed it after he could only wound it. They decided to seek the Clear Sky Sect’s Ring Detonation technique, then cooked the Ice Bird while three powerful Soul Beasts sensed Zi Ji’s aura and one set out to search for a mysterious bug.

• Xu Xiao used Ice and Fire Dragon Fists to break through the Ice Bird’s defenses and leave it badly wounded, but he ran out of Soul Power and admitted he could not kill it.
• Xu Xiao told Zi Ji about Ring Detonation, and they agreed to rob the Clear Sky Sect for the technique after their journey through the Far North.
• Zi Ji crushed the Ice Bird’s head, and her three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast aura alerted three powerful Soul Beasts deep in the Far North.
• One of the three Soul Beasts worried that a mysterious bug had been eaten, then moved its palace to search for it.
• Xu Xiao and Zi Ji went to a mountaintop and began roasting and simmering the Ice Bird as the Heaven Dou Empire’s army arrived.

Xu Xiao and Zi Ji feasted on an eighty-thousand-year-old Ice Bird with their companions until the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion emerged from beneath the mountain. Mistaking Xu Xiao for Zi Ji’s human pet, the Ice Empress amused herself by asking how Zi Ji kept him in line, leaving Xu Xiao to face Zi Ji’s teasing.

• Xu Xiao grilled the Ice Bird, shared it with Zi Ji and his companions, and urged them to keep cultivating while they were separated from their friends.
• The mountain shook as a powerful Soul Beast approached, so Xu Xiao sent Gui Mei and the others into the Spirit Pagoda while he and Zi Ji investigated.
• The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion burst from beneath the mountain and, after a brief standoff, apologized for intruding and questioned why Zi Ji was with Xu Xiao.
• The Ice Empress decided Xu Xiao must be Zi Ji’s human pet, and she laughed when he claimed Zi Ji could be his servant.
• Zi Ji laughed along and asked Xu Xiao whether she should give him a beating.

Xu Xiao and Zi JI traveled into the Far North and persuaded the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion to bring them to the Snow Empress, hoping to strengthen their faction’s ties with the Far North. They reached the Snow Empress’s palace, where Xu Xiao prepared to explain their important message.

• Xu Xiao told Zi JI he hoped to recruit the Far North’s Heavenly Kings to their faction, and Zi JI agreed that their help would matter in a future fight against the Divine Realm.

• The Ice Jade Empress Scorpion guided Xu Xiao and Zi JI through the blizzard to the Snow Empress, who welcomed them and led them to her ice palace.
• At the palace, the Snow Empress asked whether something had happened, and the Ice Empress introduced Xu Xiao as her pet human.

Xu Xiao revealed that he was cooperating with the Silver Dragon King to create his own Godhood and help Soul Beasts become gods, then sought a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast for his fifth Soul Ring. The Snow Empress agreed to cooperate, while she and the Ice Empress were left stunned by Xu Xiao’s existing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

• Xu Xiao clarified to the Snow Empress and Ice Empress that he was cooperating with the Silver Dragon King, not serving as a human pet.
• Xu Xiao offered to reveal the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s location and some Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in exchange for cooperation.

• Xu Xiao requested a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old for his fifth Soul Ring, then showed the Snow Empress and Ice Empress his existing Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

Xu Xiao revealed that his first Martial Soul could bestow amplified Soul Rings on his second, allowing him to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring without help. Snow Empress and Ice Empress agreed to help him find a willing Soul Beast that could produce fist-like External Soul Bones, and they set out to investigate the Titan Snow Demon King clan’s possible connection to the Ice God inheritance.

• Xu Xiao revealed his second Martial Soul and explained that his first Martial Soul had amplified its Soul Rings tenfold.
• Xu Xiao told Snow Empress that a willing Soul Beast could reside in his spiritual sea and receive a new body after he became a god.

• Xu Xiao suggested the clan might know the location of the Ice God inheritance because of its rumored Ice God bloodline.
• Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Zi JI hurried to the Titan Snow Demon King’s territory and drew the attention of its clan members.
• A Titan Snow Demon King recognized Snow Empress and trembled with excitement.

The Snow Empress and her group asked the Titan Snow Demon King to lead them to the Ice God's inheritance. Xu Xiao activated the stele at its hidden location, gained the qualifications for the inheritance, and decided he might not pursue it because he wanted to create his own Godhood.

• The Snow Empress asked the Titan Snow Demon King whether he knew where the Ice God's inheritance was, and he agreed to lead the group there.
• The Titan Snow Demon King opened a hidden route behind his throne and led the group to a concealed passage beneath a cliff.
• The group found an empty chamber containing a stone stele, and Xu Xiao struck it with his Ultimate Ice Soul Power.
• The stele sent an icy-blue beam into Xu Xiao's mind, giving him the qualifications for the Ice God's inheritance.
• Xu Xiao explained that the inheritance required a human with Ultimate Ice and Rank 70 Soul Power, then said he might not pursue it because he wanted to create his own Godhood.

• Xu Xiao explained that he intended to create his own Godhood and would leave the Ice God's guiding stone stele where it was.
• After the group returned to the Titan Snow Demon King's territory, the Titan Snow Demon King offered to discuss cooperation with a one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year-old member of his clan.
• Xu Xiao asked Snow Empress why she had been quiet, and she revealed that she wanted to take human form, cultivate anew, and inherit the Ice God's Godhood.
• Ice Empress objected, but Xu Xiao said Snow Empress might be able to obtain the inheritance, and Zi JI and Xu Xiao agreed to support her cultivation.
• Snow Empress decided to take human form and told Ice Empress and A-Tai to protect the Far North in her absence; Ice Empress reluctantly agreed.

The Snow Empress transformed into a young girl to begin cultivating again and prepare to inherit the Ice God's Godhood. Tai Yuan sacrificed himself to Xu Xiao, who gained a powerful Soul Ring and External Soul Bone before preparing to grant the Snow Empress her first Soul Ring.

• The Snow Empress completed her transformation under the Ice Empress and Xu Xiao's protection, and the Ice Empress eagerly embraced her.
• The Titan Snow Demon King learned the Snow Empress had transformed for the Far North and promised to protect it while she pursued the Ice God's Godhood.
• The Snow Empress ordered the Titan Snow Demon King to have Tai Yuan sacrifice himself to Xu Xiao, and Tai Yuan agreed at once.

• Xu Xiao summoned his Martial Soul and prepared to grant the Snow Empress her first Soul Ring.

After Snow Empress gained a purple Soul Ring, Xu Xiao revealed two possible sources of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. The group planned to use Ice Empress to lure Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out, then rely on him to help search for the other cache.

• Snow Empress questioned why her new Soul Ring did not provide Soul Power, and Xu Xiao explained that his Martial Soul had limitations.
• Xu Xiao told Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King about two places with Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, including one in the Far North that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might be consuming.
• Xu Xiao described a second cache of about a dozen pieces beneath a well north of the Heaven Dou Empire, but admitted its location would be difficult to find.
• Snow Empress and Xu Xiao suggested that Ice Empress lure Sky Dream Ice Silkworm out because he had feelings for her and could sense the treasure.
• Ice Empress agreed to try calling Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, though she vowed to beat him up when he appeared.

Xu Xiao’s group found the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and enlisted him to help locate another source of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. Ice Empress discovered that Tian Meng had eaten nearly all the marrow in his cave, and the group set out with only one large piece remaining.

• Xu Xiao led the group to a likely hiding place, where Ice Empress called for Tian Meng.
• Tian Meng joyfully emerged, believing Ice Empress wanted to see him, and she beat him before bringing him to the group.
• Tian Meng recognized Snow Empress, and Xu Xiao asked him to help find another place containing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Tian Meng agreed to follow Xu Xiao after hearing that the group was becoming gods.
• Ice Empress returned from the cave with one large piece of marrow and revealed that Tian Meng had eaten the rest.

Xu Xiao led the group to a hidden trove of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, which they divided among themselves and the Far North clans. After leaving the Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King with advice for their people, Xu Xiao took Tian Meng and the Snow Empress with him.

• Xu Xiao guided the group to a remote, undeveloped site where Tian Meng used his spiritual power to locate Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.

• Xu Xiao proposed a division that gave him and the Snow Empress three pillars each, while the Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King split the other twelve.
• Xu Xiao placed the Snow Empress and Tian Meng in the fifth level of his Spirit Ascension Space, and Tian Meng agreed to follow him rather than risk becoming his Sixth Soul Ring.
• Xu Xiao told the Ice Empress and Titan Snow Demon King they could let their clansmen cultivate at the site and explained the method of forming a Soul Core.

Xu Xiao and Zi Ji searched for the Clear Sky Sect’s hidden location and forced the Star Luo Emperor to reveal it. They arrived at the sect’s northern canyon, where Zi Ji challenged Tang Zhan to come out.

• Zi Ji advised Xu Xiao to focus on ice-element soul skills until he obtained his second fist, and Xu Xiao said he could condense his fourth and fifth Soul Rings in another month.
• Xu Xiao and Zi Ji flew to the Clear Sky Sect’s abandoned former grounds, found no clues, and decided to question the Star Luo Emperor.
• Zi Ji intimidated the Star Luo Emperor’s guards while Xu Xiao demanded the Clear Sky Sect’s location, and the emperor pointed them toward a canyon north of the empire.
• Xu Xiao and Zi Ji reached the canyon, where Xu Xiao masked his identity and Zi Ji released her aura across the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Zhan felt Zi Ji’s overwhelming aura from the main hall and wondered who had arrived.

Xu Xiao and Zi JI forced the Clear Sky Sect to surrender its secret techniques and other treasures, punishing Tang Zhan after he tried to pass off fakes. They left with the genuine items, while Tang Zhan was left furious and devastated.

• Tang Zhan confronted Xu Xiao and Zi JI, who threatened to destroy the Clear Sky Sect unless it compensated them.
• Xu Xiao demanded the sect’s secret techniques, Yang Wudi’s medicine-making manual, and the Speed Clan’s Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
• Tang Zhan handed over fake items, but Xu Xiao recognized the deception and ordered Zi JI to kill an elder.
• Tang Zhan returned with genuine secret techniques, but Zi JI killed another elder when Xu Xiao declared the deadline had passed.
• Xu Xiao and Zi JI left with the treasures, and Tang Zhan smashed a nearby mountainside with his Clear Sky Hammer.

Xu Xiao returned from the Clear Sky Sect with Zi Ji and secret techniques, then explained Soul Cores to his companions as Zi Ji began condensing one. He introduced Snow Empress and the million-year-old Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, whose weakness became the group’s new joke.

• Xu Xiao joked with Zi Ji about finding wives for the Clear Sky Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then showed her Tang Zhan’s secret techniques.
• After a month, Xu Xiao and Zi Ji returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, where Zi Ji began condensing a Soul Core beneath the Blue Silver Emperor.
• Xu Xiao explained Soul Cores to his companions and encouraged them to condense their own when they reached Title Douluo and Limit Douluo.
• Xu Xiao introduced Snow Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and the others teased Tian Meng for seeming weak despite being a million-year-old Soul Beast.
• Xu Xiao took Snow Empress and Tian Meng into the house and told Snow Empress she could cultivate in the Spirit Ascension Platform space if she preferred to avoid the crowd.

Xu Xiao asked Tian Meng to develop a cultivation method that could strengthen human spiritual power, since Xu Xiao needed one for the Soul Rings he granted his siblings. Tian Meng agreed to experiment, and Xu Xiao led him and Snow Empress outside to demonstrate his ability, where Gui Mei realized Xu Xiao had become a Soul King.

• Snow Empress learned that Xu Xiao's Ninth Sister was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was traveling with Di Tian to find Dragon Valley.
• Xu Xiao asked Tian Meng to create a method for cultivating spiritual power, and explained that his siblings could not simply absorb spiritual-type Soul Beasts.
• Xu Xiao threatened to make Tian Meng his Sixth Soul Ring if he could not help, so Tian Meng agreed to experiment with adapting his clan's spiritual cultivation for humans.
• Xu Xiao explained that he needed stronger spiritual power to become a god and led Tian Meng and Snow Empress out of the cabin to show them how he granted Soul Rings.
• Xu Xiao announced that he would show them a million-year Soul Ring, and Gui Mei exclaimed that Xu Xiao had already become a Soul King.

Xu Xiao reassured his brothers about their slower cultivation, then displayed his six-hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and created a platinum million-year Soul Ring. He demonstrated its immense offensive power and wondered whether he could now injure a Titled Douluo.

• Xu Xiao told his brothers not to feel pressured by his advancement and urged them to cultivate so they could strengthen Chuan Ling’s influence.
• Gui Mei asked Xu Xiao to show them his million-year Soul Ring, and Xu Xiao used Soul Bestowal to manifest his fourth Soul Ring before creating his fifth.

• Xu Xiao unleashed Cold Sky Ice Dragon—Angry Dragon Limit Fist, splitting the ground and scattering the poisonous mist, then wondered if he could injure a Titled Douluo.

Xu Xiao demonstrated his million-year soul skill while his companions discussed their cultivation and worried about Chen Xin and Chen Jianjun. After months lost at sea, Chen Jianjun and Qian Daoliu reached Sea God Island, where they met its High Priestess, Bo Saixi, and several more figures arrived.

• Xu Xiao used his million-year soul skill, impressing Gui Mei, She Long, and the others with its power.
• Dugu Bo and the others worried about Chen Xin and Chen Jianjun, while Xu Xiao and Ye Lin discussed the dangers facing them at sea.

• Several more figures rushed to join Bo Saixi, Chen Jianjun, and Qian Daoliu.

Chen Jianjun and Qian Daoliu entered Sea God Island after Bo Saixi allowed them in, and asked about the powerful whale Soul Beast they had encountered. Bo Saixi identified it as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a 990,000-year-old beast that had once contended with the Sea God, but she could not explain why the Sea God had spared it.

• Chen Jianjun and Qian Daoliu explained their reasons for visiting Sea God Island, and Bo Saixi decided to let them enter despite her concerns about their strength.

• Qian Daoliu confirmed that they had encountered the beast, and Bo Saixi identified it as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
• Bo Saixi revealed that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had cultivated for 990,000 years and had once been able to contend with the Sea God.
• Chen Jianjun asked why the Sea God had not destroyed the whale, but Bo Saixi admitted that she did not know.

Bo Saixi brought Chen Jianjun and Qian Daoliu to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, where Chen Jianjun received the Sea God Red Grade Six Trials. His result disappointed Bo Saixi, who had hoped he would receive the Red-Level Seven Trials that could free her from her role as High Priestess.

• Bo Saixi explained that the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could not threaten Sea God Island because she could wield the Sea God's power there.
• At the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, Bo Saixi invited Chen Jianjun to try the inheritance, while Qian Daoliu declined.
• Chen Jianjun touched the pillar, and its light rose to red as Bo Saixi hoped he would receive seven trials.
• The Sea God announced that Chen Jianjun had received the Red Grade Six Trials, requiring him to endure the Sea God's Light for one year.
• Bo Saixi revealed that she had received Top Grade Eight Trials, one short of the Sea God Nine Trials, and concealed her disappointment that Chen Jianjun had not received seven trials.

Chen Jianjun learned that Bo Saixi had received the Top Grade Eight Trials and that Qian Daoliu had already undergone Spirit Hall’s Godhood trials. As Chen Jianjun prepared to begin his own Sea God trial, Qian Daoliu asked who had recognized that he had held back against Tang Chen.

• Bo Saixi told Chen Jianjun his Red-Level Trials would pose little danger and that completing them could bring him close to Rank 99.
• At Sea Horse City, Chen Jianjun urged Qian Daoliu to try advancing further, then realized Qian Daoliu had already undergone a divine trial.
• Qian Daoliu revealed that Spirit Hall had a Godhood inheritance, and Chen Jianjun wondered whether it too required a missing treasure.
• Chen Jianjun examined his first trial, Cross the Sea God's Light, and discussed Qian Daoliu's past battle with Tang Chen.
• Chen Jianjun mentioned that someone from the Ye Family had killed Tang Chen, prompting Qian Daoliu to ask who had known he held back.
