A Phoenix Egg crashed into the Star Dou Great Forest, overwhelming its soul beasts with its bloodline pressure before Yun Ze spoke from inside it. Yun Ze demanded all the forest’s Life Gold in exchange for a promise, leaving the Silver Dragon and her companions wary of his intentions.

• A blazing fireball broke through the Energy Shield above the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Silver Dragon used her power to keep its heat from destroying the forest.

Seven years after the soul beasts concealed the disappearance of the Life Gold by provoking the Spirit Pagoda’s bombardment, Yun Ze entered a Spirit Pagoda in Star Moon City to awaken his Martial Soul. He awakened a Fire Phoenix that was a manifestation of his own bloodline, while sensing another Martial Soul in his left hand.

• The Spirit Pagoda’s search party vanished in the Star Dou Great Forest, prompting the Spirit Pagoda to bombard the forest; the soul beasts stayed silent to conceal the loss of the Life Gold and the forest’s declining vitality.

Yun Ze then met Gu Yue Na, who told him she had reached Level Forty-One soul power and could create Rank 6 Soul Guidance Devices.

Yun Ze decided that he and his companions would relocate from Star Moon City to Mingdu, where he planned to refine Transformation Pills and build their influence. After Bi Ji reported their assets and Medicine King Pavilion’s struggles, Yun Ze reassured her and assigned her to continue managing the business in Mingdu.

• Yun Ze told Bi Ji to find two adjacent shops near Sun Moon Royal Academy and a building for their future faction base.
• Yun Ze ordered Ten Thousand Demons King and Demon Spirit to lead fewer than twenty powerful soul beasts in searching for spiritual treasures, especially Light Spirit Grass, Turtle Essence Fruit, and Gold Blood Vine.

• Yun Ze summoned the Blazing Fire Nine-Headed Bird and tested the Immortal Phoenix Legacy Art, finding that the world’s sparse energy limited its cultivation speed.

• Yun Ze cultivated both Supreme Cultivation Arts at once, increasing his Soul Power absorption rate to that of a high-level Soul King.

Yun Ze spent five days refining one hundred Transformation Pills with Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord taking turns replenishing his Soul Power. When Di Tian swallowed one, it transformed his body and began producing red soul rings, leaving Gu Yue Na, Bi Ji, and Bear Lord astonished.

• Di Tian swallowed a Transformation Pill and felt its energy reforge his body without pain.
• Nine-colored light surrounded Di Tian as his Golden Eyed Black Dragon form appeared and nine red soul rings began rising beneath him.

Yun Ze’s Transformation Pills turned Di Tian and many other powerful soul beasts into humans with martial souls and soul rings while preserving their identities as soul beasts. After moving the Star Dou Great Forest’s strongest fighters out and setting a safeguard for those left behind, Yun Ze and his companions headed for Mingdu, where Meng Yun was still searching for him.

• Yun Ze and Gu Yue Na went to Sun Moon Royal Academy, and the entrance sensors triggered an alarm because Yun Ze had not been verified.
• Gu Yue Na showed the guards her identity card bearing the headmaster's seal and said she was taking Yun Ze to meet the headmaster, so they lowered the academy's defenses and temporarily validated his identity.
