Chapter Summaries

After recovering from her injuries, Zhang Lexuan learned how Lin Yan had driven off the Ice Jade Scorpion and agreed with his plan to wait in an ice crevasse while the Ice and Snow Emperors searched the Core Zone. As high-level soul beasts were transferred away, the group decided to head southeast through the crevasse and seek a safer escape from the Far North.

• Jiang Nannan covered Zhang Lexuan after her damaged clothes slipped away, and Zhang Lexuan used her Soul Power to heal her injuries.
• Zhang Lexuan thanked Lin Yan and Jiang Nannan, while Jiang Nannan blamed herself for Zhang Lexuan's wounds and Zhang Lexuan reassured her.
• Jiang Nannan recounted what had happened while Zhang Lexuan was unconscious, and Zhang Lexuan was shocked to learn that Lin Yan had frightened off the hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion.
• Lin Yan explained that the Ice Empress had summoned the Ice Jade Scorpion to the Core Zone and predicted that the Sealing Order might end once the Ice and Snow Emperors found their target.
• The three waited in an ice cave for several days, observed high-level soul beasts leaving the area, and decided to travel southeast along the crevasse.

Lin Yan, Zhang Lexuan, and Jiang Nannan explored an underground ice fissure and found newly formed Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. Guided by Emperor Flame, Lin Yan uncovered a deeper cavern, where he discovered a massive Ice Lotus with a strange blue flame burning at its center.

• Lin Yan carried the injured Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan through the deepening fissure, where they found crawling tracks in an ice cave.
• Lin Yan sent a Flame Spirit Bird to scout the cave and confirmed it was empty of living creatures.
• Zhang Lexuan identified a pillar of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, and Lin Yan found two more pieces before the trio finished exploring the cave.
• Emperor Flame reacted violently to something beneath the cave, so Lin Yan melted through more than twenty meters of ice and opened a deep fissure.
• Lin Yan sent the Flame Spirit Bird down the fissure and discovered a massive thirty-six-petaled Ice Lotus with an icy-blue flame burning at its center.

Lin Yan’s touch caused the Ice Lotus to absorb the cavern’s cold and vitality, while a sea of ice-blue flames appeared over the Far North and drew Luo Ye’s attention. Through the Prajna Heart Lamp, Lin Yan witnessed his reincarnation and learned that part of the mysterious force carrying his true spirit had transformed a broken bronze mirror beside a hungry beggar child.

• Lin Yan touched the Ice Lotus, triggering it to draw in the cavern’s cold and its own vitality until it shrank and fell into the cavern.
• Luo Ye saw the ice-blue flames over the Far North, prepared to take the Ice God Crystal, and found that his Treasure Mirror demanded enormous energy to explain the phenomenon.
• The flames vanished as the Ice Lotus finished condensing, and Luo Ye’s attention toward Lin Yan formed an unseen connection that stirred the Prajna Heart Lamp.
• Lin Yan witnessed his true spirit enter the Douluo Universe and the Douluo Plane, establishing his fate line and identity after transmigration.
• A third of the mysterious force appeared above a pile of rubbish and merged into a broken bronze mirror near a hungry beggar child, causing writing to emerge on its surface.

Lin Yan discovered the Prajna Heart Lamp’s origins and realized some of the force that brought him across worlds might be connected to recent disturbances. After identifying the newly formed Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire, he decided to refine it in the ice cavern and seized it from the Ice Lotus.

• Lin Yan realized the Prajna Heart Lamp had been formed from the force that brought him across worlds, with some of that force seemingly left behind.
• Lin Yan tested the flame and learned it was the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire, icy on the outside and burning with ultimate heat within.
• Lin Yan decided to refine the Heavenly Flame in the cavern because carrying it away or leaving it unattended posed serious risks.
• Jiang Nannan grabbed Lin Yan’s arm in alarm, but Lin Yan reassured her and Zhang Lexuan that he would be careful.
• Lin Yan wrapped his right hand in nine-colored Emperor Flame and seized the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire from the Ice Lotus.

Lin Yan copied the Ice Lotus’s structure, extracted the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire’s Core Flame, and began refining it inside his body. As the violent flame resisted and threatened to overwhelm him, Electrolux awakened and told him to steady his mind.

• Lin Yan used the Prajna Heart Lamp to study the Ice Lotus and shaped Emperor Flame into a replica of its structure.
• Lin Yan seized the Extreme Cold Mystic Ice Fire’s Core Flame while Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan watched anxiously.
• Lin Yan sat on the Ice Lotus, closed its petals around himself, and swallowed the Core Flame.
• Lin Yan used Emperor Flame and his first Spirit Ring to refine the Core Flame, but its resistance made the process dangerously slow.
• Electrolux awakened in Lin Yan’s sea of consciousness and told him to steady his mind.

Electrolux awakened and purified the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife, then explained how the Gold of Life could help Lin Yan refine the Mystic Ice Fire Core Flame. Lin Yan proposed using his Life Spirit Fire as the main body for fusing with the Gold of Life, and Electrolux began assessing the idea.

• The Prajna Heart Lamp helped Electrolux recover, and he promised to help Lin Yan refine the Heavenly Flame Core Flame.
• Lin Yan removed the lamp's suppression and let Electrolux use his body to purify the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife with the Gold of Life's power.
• Electrolux purified the knife's evil aura, transforming its black blade into clear blue-green crystal.
• Electrolux explained that fusing the Gold of Life through either Lin Yan's sea of consciousness or physical body would provide enough life force and grant different benefits.
• Lin Yan suggested fusing the Gold of Life through his Life Spirit Fire, and Electrolux examined the flame to judge whether it was possible.

Lin Yan fused the Gold of Life with his Life Spirit Fire through his Martial Soul, transforming the flame and profoundly nourishing his body and soul. After his injuries healed and Electrolux recovered beneath the Tree of Life, Lin Yan took over suppressing the Mystic Ice Fire's Core Flame.

• Electrolux concluded that fusing the Gold of Life with Lin Yan's Martial Soul was feasible and could transform both his body and soul.
• Lin Yan chose his Martial Soul as the foundation, and Electrolux began the fusion while suppressing the Mystic Ice Fire's Core Flame.
• Lin Yan guided the Gold of Life into his Martial Soul Origin space and used it to raise the Life Spirit Fire through nine transformations.
• The transformed azure-green Life Spirit Fire created a Tree of Life and an island of vitality in Lin Yan's Sea of Spirit, expanding and transforming it.
• The Life Spirit Fire healed Lin Yan's injuries and strengthened his body, while its vitality restored Electrolux's soul.
• Electrolux withdrew his divine sense, and Lin Yan's transformed Emperor Flame suppressed the Mystic Ice Fire's Core Flame again.

Lin Yan refined the extremely cold Mystic Ice Fire, gained a new Exotic Flame Spirit Ring, and rose to Level 47 as his Emperor Flame transformed again. The new power strengthened his sea of consciousness and began tempering his body through a balance of ice and fire.

• The Life Spirit Fire rejoined the Emperor Flame, raising it to Ultimate Fourth Transformation and allowing Lin Yan to refine the extremely cold Mystic Ice Fire more quickly.
• As the Mystic Ice Fire’s Core Flame was refined, Lin Yan’s Soul Power surged to Level 40, where it stalled because he lacked a fourth Spirit Ring.
• The refined Mystic Ice Fire formed a blue Exotic Flame Spirit Ring, which entered Lin Yan and released his stored Soul Power, raising him to Level 47.
• Lin Yan discovered the Exotic Flame Spirit Ring had no Soul Skill yet and learned it would need to merge with a normal soul beast Spirit Ring to become complete.
• The Mystic Ice Fire fully fused into the Emperor Flame, giving it Ultimate Ice as a secondary attribute and raising its Ultimate Fire to half a step from Fifth Transformation Great Perfection.
• The transformation stabilized Lin Yan’s sea of consciousness and formed an ice-and-fire Human Body Furnace that strengthened his body.

Lin Yan completed his cultivation in the Far North, gained three ultimate attributes, and transformed his Emperor Flame after refining the Mystic Ice Fire. He reunited with Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan, then used his evolved Life Spirit Fire to begin healing Zhang Lexuan’s injuries.

• Lin Yan explained his Strange Fire Condensing Ring to Jiang Nannan and Zhang Lexuan.
• Lin Yan offered to heal Zhang Lexuan and enveloped her in Life Spirit Fire, which began repairing her injuries.

Lin Yan used the Life Spirit Fire to heal Zhang Lexuan, then concealed himself, Zhang Lexuan, and Jiang Nannan with the Mystic Ice Fire so they could escape the Far North. After they reached safety, Lin Yan reflected on his lost power in the Sun Moon Empire, and the three set off for Shrek Academy.

• Lin Yan and the two women headed toward Shrek Academy.

• Mu En sensed that Lin Yan's flame contained Ultimate Fire, Ultimate Ice, and Ultimate Life.

Mu En taught Lin Yan his Self-Created Soul Skill, Reign Over the World, revealing how Soul Power, spirit, Intent, and Martial Soul Origin fused into the Power of Reign. With the Wisdom Divine Light helping him understand the technique, Lin Yan began imagining how to adapt its principles using Emperor Flame and Heavenly Flames.

• Mu En was astonished that Lin Yan possessed three ultimate attributes and praised the fusion ability of his martial soul.
• Mu En offered to teach Lin Yan Reign Over the World as thanks for healing Lexuan and as an apology for the academy putting him in danger, and Lin Yan accepted.
• Mu En demonstrated how Soul Power formed the foundation, spirit the bones, Intent the soul, and Martial Soul Origin the core of Reign Over the World.
• Lin Yan's Wisdom Divine Light clarified the Way of Fusion, allowing him to fully understand Mu En's technique.
• Lin Yan began considering how he could adapt the fusion framework with other powers, including Emperor Flame and Heavenly Flames.

Lin Yan comprehended Mu En’s Reign Over the World after seeing it once, creating his own Power of Reign. He then tried to fuse the Life Spirit Fire and Mystic Ice Fire into it, and after nine failures, discovered a possible solution inspired by the Ice Lotus.

• Lin Yan fused his Soul Power, spiritual power, Fire Intent, and Emperor Flame Martial Soul Origin through his newly born Martial Soul Will, creating Emperor Reigns Over the World.
• Mu En was astonished by Lin Yan’s instant mastery and considered taking him as a disciple.

Lin Yan created the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus by combining the Life Spirit Fire and Mystic Ice Fire with Mu En’s guidance, then thanked Mu En and left Sea God Pavilion. After researching in the Inner Court Library, he met Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan by Sea God Lake to divide the treasures recovered from the Far North.

• Lin Yan used the Power of Emperor Reign to combine the Life Spirit Fire and Mystic Ice Fire into a destructive azure-blue lotus he named the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.
• Mu En praised Lin Yan’s comprehension, warned him to use his self-created soul skill carefully, and decided to let their potential master-disciple relationship develop naturally.
• Lin Yan went to the Inner Court Library, where he set aside an old book whose ink-obscured cover faintly showed characters including “Spirit Hall Xu.”
• Lin Yan met Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan by Sea God Lake and brought out the Far North treasures to divide among them.
• Lin Yan laid out three stalks of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, a Heavenly Flame Ice Lotus, and nine Ice Lotus Seeds on the stone table.

Lin Yan, Zhang Lexuan, and Jiang Nannan divided the treasures from the Far North, with Zhang Lexuan insisting everyone receive a fair share. After seeing Zhang Lexuan off, Lin Yan and Jiang Nannan went to absorb their Ice Lotus Seeds and discovered their suite was in a couples’ hotel.

• Lin Yan proposed giving Zhang Lexuan most of the remaining treasures and Jiang Nannan four Ice Lotus Seeds, but Zhang Lexuan refused to accept more than an equal share.
• Jiang Nannan said she had contributed little, while Zhang Lexuan praised her care during the journey and insisted they divide the treasures equally.
• Lin Yan arranged for Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan to each receive four Ice Lotus Seeds, kept the last seed and the Ice Lotus, and accepted one piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow after Zhang Lexuan insisted.
• Lin Yan warned Zhang Lexuan and Jiang Nannan to absorb the seeds soon because their medicinal properties would dissipate after separation from the Ice Lotus.
• Zhang Lexuan returned to use her seeds, and Lin Yan and Jiang Nannan booked a luxurious suite in Shrek City to absorb theirs.
• Lin Yan and Jiang Nannan opened the suite door and realized they had accidentally booked a couples’ hotel.

Jiang Nannan used the Ice Lotus Seeds while Lin Yan guarded her, awakening the ice affinity in her Silver Void Dragon Rabbit and strengthening her spatial attribute and innate talent. After cleansing herself, she realized she had forgotten to bring clean clothes, and Lin Yan handed them to her through the bathroom door, their hands briefly touching.
