Xu Xiao tested Spirit Pagoda’s projection ability, then traveled with Zi JI and Ice Empress to the Sun Moon Empire’s Imperial Palace to seize control.

He demonstrated the Spirit Pagoda to Chen Jianjun, then returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, granted Soul Rings to Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, and told Zhong Ling about becoming an emperor.

• Chen Jianjun told Ye Lin and Xu Xiao that Yu Mingkai and Ning Buqun had died and that their descendants were Ning Fengzhi and Xiao Gang.

• Xu Xiao considered the time he had before Tang San's birth and concluded that obtaining his final two Soul Rings was key to reaching the Divine Realm and becoming a god.

Xu Xiao left Star Dou Forest after arranging for Xiong Jun to raise a disgusting gorilla until it could transform, then discussed hunting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King for his Eighth Soul Ring. Back at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he proposed expanding Chuan Ling, but the Blue Silver Emperor reminded him that his projection made a new base unnecessary, leaving the group debating whether to develop Soul Tools.

• Xu Xiao returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and proposed rebuilding it as Chuan Ling's territory and enclosing Sunset Forest.

• The Dragon Kings offered Xu Xiao a reward in exchange for helping the Soul Beast Clan, and the Fire Dragon King began to explain what it was.

Xu Xiao asked the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings about receiving an External Soul Bone and how people became gods before the Dragon God fell. The Dragon Kings offered him their bodies as torso bones and explained that ancient humans ascended through their own strength, while Xu Xiao considered what this meant for his own path to godhood.

• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings told Xu Xiao they could only offer a Soul Bone, and he asked whether it could be an External Soul Bone that protected his front and strengthened his physique.

• The Ice Dragon King named the Sword God and Ice God as ancient ascendants who died in the God Realm war, and Xu Xiao recalled that he had obtained the qualifications for the Ice God's Godhood.

Xu Xiao learned that reaching Soul Power level 100 had once been enough to become a god, but he did not know whether that rule still applied. Half a year later, he gathered his brothers at Chuan Ling Main Hall and prepared to begin accepting students.

• Xu Xiao asked the Ice Dragon King how humans became gods, and the Dragon Souls recalled that reaching level 100 Soul Power had once allowed humans to ascend.

• Xu Xiao’s allies discussed whether to recruit disciples, and Xu Xiao said they could choose for themselves.
• Gui Mei worried that excluding major factions from recruitment could provoke them, but Xu Xiao said an attack would give Chuan Ling an excuse to strike back.
• Xu Xiao claimed he was invincible below the Limit realm and could fight a Limit Douluo one-on-one, prompting Chen Xin and the others to challenge him.
• After Chuan Ling accepted 1,500 students over three days, Qian Daoliu warned Qian Xunji that Chuan Ling was too mysterious to oppose and ordered him to deliver a gift with Golden Crocodile.
• Outside Chuan Ling, Qian Xunji invited representatives of other forces to meet, while Yu Yuanzhen blamed Chuan Ling for his painful cultivation and vowed to destroy it.

Qian Xunji formed an alliance of five factions to oppose Chuan Ling while Xu Xiao remained unconcerned. Yu Xiaogang awakened a mutated pig Martial Soul with only Level 0.5 Innate Soul Power, leaving him devastated.

• Qian Xunji proposed an alliance against Chuan Ling, and Lady Ning asked for three days to decide whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would join.

• Yu Xiaogang awakened a purple piglet Martial Soul instead of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
• Yu Xiaogang learned his Innate Soul Power was Level 0.5, then roared in despair and kicked his Martial Soul.

Yu Xiaogang’s weak Martial Soul and low Soul Power devastated Yu Yuanzhen, while Xu Xiao learned that Yu Xiaogang wanted to train at Spirit Hall. When Dragon Valley opened, Xu Xiao gathered allies and set out to enter it, where the Auspicious Beast had been drawn inside.

• Yu Xiaogang begged Yu Yuanzhen to let him cultivate at Spirit Hall, but Yu Yuanzhen dismissed him and kept his weakness secret from the clan.

• Xu Xiao took the two Dragon Kings into his Sea of Consciousness and stored their skeletons in his Spirit Pagoda, then left with his brothers.
• Di Tian told Xu Xiao that the Auspicious Beast had been pulled into Dragon Valley and carried him through the opened rift.

Xu Xiao and his companions entered Dragon Valley, where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings reunited with Di Tian and asked Xu Xiao to lay their bones to rest.

• Xu Xiao proposed burying the scattered dragon bones, and the Snow Empress and the others joined him.
• Xu Xiao and his companions split into teams and buried bones across Dragon Valley while the Dragon Kings discussed and praised Xu Xiao's choice.
• The Dragon Kings concluded that fusing an External Soul Bone with a torso Soul Bone seemed impossible unless the two could merge into a stronger Soul Bone, then went to visit the Dragon God Remains.

After the group finished burying Dragon Valley’s bones, the Dragon Kings rewarded them with True Dragon Soul Bones and guided them to cultivate from a gathering Dragon Cloud. As the Auspicious Beast refined the Dragon God Heart, Xu Xiao asked whether he could bring Dragon Valley into his Spirit Pagoda, but the Dragon Souls refused.

• Xu Xiao and his companions finished burying the bones after a year and three months, then rested and discussed their plans after leaving Dragon Valley.
• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings thanked Xu Xiao and offered the group Soul Bones, then helped each person find a complete set suited to their attributes.
• A vast dragon aura spread through Dragon Valley as the Auspicious Beast’s success caused Dragon Souls to gather into a Dragon Cloud.
• The Ice Dragon King urged Xu Xiao’s companions to cultivate from the cloud’s spiritual power while Xu Xiao watched the Auspicious Beast’s transformation.
• Xu Xiao asked the Ice Dragon King if he could bring Dragon Valley into his Spirit Pagoda, but the Dragon Souls rejected the idea because it was their burial ground.

Xu Xiao waited in Dragon Valley while the Auspicious Beast refined the Dragon God Heart, then welcomed her and bestowed five Soul Rings that raised her to level 79. The chapter ended with Xu Xiao naming her Long Su.

• Xu Xiao abandoned his attempt to absorb Dragon Valley and began refining the Dragon Kings’ ice- and fire-attributed Soul Bones.
• After three months, the Auspicious Beast devoured the Dragon Cloud and returned with Di Tian to meet Xu Xiao and his companions.

• Xu Xiao bestowed five Soul Rings on the Auspicious Beast, raising her Soul Power from level 30 to level 79 and stunning everyone present.
• The Auspicious Beast told Xu Xiao she did not have a name, and he named her Long Su.

Long Su accepted the Dragon God Heart and the duty of reviving the Soul Beast race, while the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings sacrificed themselves to create an ice-and-fire Soul Bone for Xu Xiao. After returning from Dragon Valley, Xu Xiao reunited with Zi JI and the others, and Long Su joined Chuan Ling as its Ninth Spirit Lord; the group began preparing to hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

• The Auspicious Beast took the name Long Su and promised the Dragon Souls she would make reviving the Soul Beast race her responsibility.
• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings transformed into energy and fused their abdominal bones into an ice-and-fire Soul Bone for Xu Xiao.
• Xu Xiao and the others left Dragon Valley with their brothers in the Spirit Pagoda, and Zi JI welcomed Xu Xiao outside.
• Xu Xiao introduced Long Su to the group at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, completing Chuan Ling's Nine Spirit Lords.

Xu Xiao’s group prepared to absorb Soul Bones and travel to the deep sea to challenge the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, while Xu Xiao gave Soul Bones to five longtime allies. After taking Long Su to Chuan Ling, Xu Xiao met the heads of the Water Clan, Fire Clan, and Wind Clan.

• Xu Xiao’s brothers and the Soul Beasts agreed to let Ye Shengxin advance first, and everyone prepared to refine Soul Bones before heading to the deep sea.
• Xu Xiao gave Soul Bones from Dragon Valley to Dragon Duke, Snake Granny, She Long, Chi Xue, and Demon Bear, urging them to grow stronger before helping manage Chuan Ling.
