After completing Dugu Bo’s treatment mission, Xiao Yin gained a Seal-Breaking Talisman and persuaded Dugu Bo to let him use the valley’s immortal herbs to strengthen himself. Once Dugu Yan left for the academy, Xiao Yin began preparing to refine the Ice and Fire Golden Body with two opposing herbs.

• The system rewarded Xiao Yin with 1,000 Wish Value and a Seal-Breaking Talisman for completing the mission to eradicate Dugu Bo’s old ailments.
• Xiao Yin warned Dugu Bo that the remaining poison would be harder to remove and asked to refine some of the valley’s herbs to improve his strength; Dugu Bo gave him permission.

• After Dugu Yan departed, Xiao Yin headed into the valley and chose the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass for his Ice and Fire Golden Body refinement.
• Xiao Yin summoned his cauldron above the meeting point of the springs and used its devouring power to pull the two herbs into the air.

Xiao Yin refined the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass together inside the Black Cauldron, using the resulting Chaos Power to temper his body through repeated destruction and restoration. After two days, he emerged with an Ice and Fire Golden Body, leaving Dugu Bo stunned by his transformation.

• After two days, the Black Cauldron settled and Xiao Yin emerged with a powerful, dark-golden aura and a transformed body.
• Xiao Yin declared that he had achieved the true Ice and Fire Golden Body Refinement by refining the herbs' essences with his third soul skill.

Xiao Yin entered the Ice-Fire Twin Springs and used a Seal-Breaking Talisman to reach a hidden underground realm containing the remains of the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King. Their instinctive dragon souls awakened and attacked him, leaving him facing the two raging phantoms.

• Xiao Yin told Dugu Bo he planned to temper his body in the twin springs and gave him a jade mark to signal whether he survived.
• Dugu Bo warned Xiao Yin that the springs could kill even a Title Douluo, but accepted the jade and let him descend.
• Xiao Yin endured the springs’ pressure and used a Seal-Breaking Talisman to tear through a barrier into a hidden realm.
• Xiao Yin discovered the enormous skeletons of the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King amid magma and ice.
• The two dragon kings’ instinctive souls awakened, shook the underground realm, and confronted Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin used a three-second Taotie Experience Card to devour the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King remains and their souls, then fell into a Chaos Cocoon as their God King powers transformed him. After ten years underground and one year outside, the cocoon began to crack while Dugu Bo witnessed the spring’s awakening.

• Xiao Yin exchanged 3000 Wish Value for a Taotie Experience Card as the two dragon souls attacked him.
• The Taotie took over Xiao Yin and devoured the dragon souls, their remains, and the underground magma and ice field.
• Xiao Yin collapsed into a coma inside a Chaos Cocoon as the God King powers remade his body and soul and fed his Taotie Martial Soul.
• Dugu Bo waited anxiously for a year at the Ice and Fire Twin Springs, with only Xiao Yin’s intact Mental Mark jade stone reassuring him.
• The valley shook as crimson-red and ice-blue pillars of light erupted from the springs, and Dugu Bo realized they had stirred.
• The Chaos Cocoon cracked open beneath the spring.

As Xiao Yin continued breaking free from a cocoon in Sunset Forest, a terrifying Taotie-like aura spread across the continent and reached the God Realm. Empires, powerful clans, and divine beings ordered investigations and recognized Xiao Yin as a dangerous anomaly.

• A crimson-gold, icy-blue, and black vortex formed above Sunset Forest as the pressure from Xiao Yin's cocoon forced soul beasts to the ground.
• Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe, Emperor Star Luo, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Gu Rong, and Yu Yuanzhen sensed the aura and ordered alerts or investigations.
• Bibi Dong felt the god-level aura in Sunset Forest and ordered an immediate search, while Qian Daoliu's Angel God statue reacted and he worried about Xue'er.
• Bo Saixi sensed the anomaly from Sea God Island as the Sea God statue and her scepter responded with wary light.
• The Asura God, the Water and Fire Twin Gods, and the Destruction God King detected Dragon God remnants and ordered Xiao Yin's identity to be determined and monitored.
• Xiao Yin remained inside the cocoon, still breaking free.

After awakening from ten years of cultivation in the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' Fallen Land, Xiao Yin discovered that only one year had passed outside and that he had gained divine Soul Rings, Spirit Bones, and a Chaos Dragon-Taotie Body. His triumph turned to shock when the system revealed that the Taotie Experience Card had left him with a debt of 96,846 Wish Value.

• The system told Xiao Yin that ten years had passed for him but only one year had passed outside, and he realized he was now twenty years old.
• Xiao Yin discovered that he had become a Level 58 Battle Soul King with five Soul Rings, including the Water Dragon King's Abyssal Devour and the Fire Dragon King's Ash Swallow.
• Xiao Yin examined the Water Dragon King's left arm bone, the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone, and his Chaos Dragon-Taotie Body, which granted him the Beast Transformation skill.
• Xiao Yin checked his status panel and saw that his Wish Value balance was -96,846.
• The system explained that the Taotie Experience Card's base cost was 3,000 Wish Value, but ensuring it could suppress and devour God King-level targets had consumed an additional 97,000 points.

After the system revealed that saving Xiao Yin had left it near collapse, it forced him into a mission mode to repay the energy debt. Before leaving the ruins, Xiao Yin remembered Ah Yin, restored her with Blue Silver Emperor Source Dew, and discovered she would need a year to absorb it.

• The system told Xiao Yin it had overdrawn its reserves to save him and would collapse unless he earned enough Wish Value to repay the deficit.
• The system activated Forced Mission Mode, promising frequent, difficult missions as Xiao Yin accepted that he had to cooperate to survive.
• Xiao Yin prepared to leave the underground ruins, then realized he had forgotten Ah Yin in his storage ring for ten years.
• Xiao Yin found Ah Yin withered and near death, apologized, and used Blue Silver Emperor Source Dew to restore her vitality.
• A countdown appeared above Ah Yin, showing she needed a year to absorb the dew, and Xiao Yin blasted out of the ruins.

After emerging from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Xiao Yin completely purged Dugu Bo’s poison, harvested the surviving Immortal Herbs, and left for Heaven Dou City. Liu Erlong waited at Blue Tyrant Academy, still grieving his year-long absence.

• Dugu Bo urged Xiao Yin to visit Dugu Yan at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Xiao Yin left for Blue Tyrant Academy after an awkward reply.
• Liu Erlong watched the academy grounds from her study, longing for Xiao Yin after a year apart.

After a year without news, Liu Erlong waited for Xiao Yin while clutching the jade that marked his life. Xiao Yin returned to Blue Tyrant Academy, met an unfamiliar healing student on the way, and revealed himself to Liu Erlong, who reacted with shock and joy.

• Liu Erlong worried that Xiao Yin had been gone for a year and threatened to punish him if he did not return soon.
• Xiao Yin walked toward the dean's building, sensing the power within him and suppressing a possessive instinct stirred by his draconic nature.

• Xiao Yin entered Liu Erlong's study without knocking, startling her as she reviewed documents.
• Xiao Yin told Liu Erlong, "I'm back," and she froze in disbelief and joy.

Xiao Yin returned to Blue Tyrant Academy after a year away and reunited with Liu Erlong, revealing that he had reached Soul King rank and was twenty-one. Liu Erlong hinted that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would cause trouble in half a month, and Xiao Yin vowed to handle it.

• Liu Erlong angrily confronted Xiao Yin for disappearing for a year, then welcomed him back and complained about the burdens of running Blue Tyrant Academy.
• Xiao Yin told Liu Erlong he had reached level fifty-eight and assured her that his strength came from a sound foundation and a fortunate opportunity.
• Liu Erlong learned Xiao Yin was twenty-one and became deeply embarrassed that he had been younger than she had assumed.
• Xiao Yin pressed Liu Erlong about the academy matter, but she said it would have to wait until half a month later.
• After Liu Erlong fell asleep, Xiao Yin deduced that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was behind the coming trouble and promised to handle it.

Liu Erlong assigned Xiao Yin to guide Jiang Zhu’s cultivation and prepare her as a core member of Blue Tyrant Academy’s team for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. Xiao Yin met Jiang Zhu outside the dean’s office and took her away for her first lesson.

• Liu Erlong told Xiao Yin to help assemble a seven-person team and bring Jiang Zhu up to tournament standard over the next four years.
• Liu Erlong explained that Jiang Zhu was Blue Tyrant Academy’s best support-type tool Soul Master and assigned her to Xiao Yin’s guidance.
• Xiao Yin met the shy Jiang Zhu in the corridor and agreed to cultivate with her and prepare for the tournament.
• Xiao Yin held Jiang Zhu’s hand and used Soul Power to take her to the location of her first lesson.

Xiao Yin brought Jiang Zhu to Sunset Forest and taught her that a healer’s first priority was survival. After forcing her to evade a thousand-year Gale Wolf, he left her exhausted but with hard-won experience in anticipating danger and using the terrain.

• Xiao Yin brought Jiang Zhu from Blue Tyrant Academy to Sunset Forest and learned that she was a fifteen-year-old level twenty-four healing-type Soul Master with a Healing Array skill.
• Xiao Yin told Jiang Zhu that survival mattered more than healing output and made it her first lesson in facing danger.
• A thousand-year Gale Wolf attacked Jiang Zhu, while Xiao Yin ordered her to dodge and run for the time it took an incense stick to burn.
• Jiang Zhu initially panicked and was wounded, then learned to predict the wolf’s movements and use trees to evade it.
• When the time was up, Xiao Yin stopped the Gale Wolf, and he comforted Jiang Zhu and told her to remember the choices she had made to survive.

Xiao Yin completed a recovery massage for Jiang Zhu to earn a single Wish Value, then walked with her toward Heaven Dou City while refining his power. Their journey was interrupted when he sensed three masked Soul Emperor experts pursuing a wounded woman who looked familiar.

• Xiao Yin received a forced mission to give Jiang Zhu a fatigue-recovery massage, earning one Wish Value despite the system’s depleted energy.
• Xiao Yin convinced Jiang Zhu to turn around and massaged her with gentle life-aura Soul Power until she recovered.
• Jiang Zhu thanked Xiao Yin, and he offered to massage her after future training before leading her back toward Heaven Dou City on foot.
• Xiao Yin sensed Soul Power clashes ahead, moved Jiang Zhu behind him, and found three masked Soul Emperor experts pursuing a wounded woman with emerald leaf-shaped light.

Xiao Yin encountered Ye Qingyi under attack by three black-clad Soul Emperors and intervened to rescue her. After defeating one attacker with a single punch and saving Ye Qingyi from another's strike, he faced the two remaining Soul Emperors.

• A black-clad Soul Emperor spotted Xiao Yin and Jiang Zhu, and the leader ordered Elder Three to kill them while continuing to pursue Ye Qingyi.
• Xiao Yin recognized Ye Qingyi and sent Jiang Zhu to hide before Elder Three attacked him.
• Xiao Yin defeated Elder Three with one punch, leaving the other Soul Emperors and Ye Qingyi stunned.
• The leader attacked Ye Qingyi with his sixth soul skill, but Xiao Yin pulled her out of the blade aura's path.
• Ye Qingyi recognized Xiao Yin as he held her and told her to tend to her injuries while he dealt with the two remaining Soul Emperors.
