Chapter Summaries

Lu Chen’s Power of Creation awakened the full potential of his Innate Dao Body, drawing vast energy from the world and heavens into him. When his Soul Power overflowed at level 99, he transformed his nine Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Rings into living, growable rings that could absorb his excess power.

• Lu Chen fused the Laws of Life and Destruction into the Power of Creation, which activated his Innate Dao Body and drew Geocentric Source Qi and celestial energy toward him.
• Dugu Bo and the Longevity Sect’s disciples witnessed the sun, moon, and stars shining over the sect and called it a divine miracle.
• Lu Chen absorbed energy at an extraordinary rate, but his Soul Power could not rise past level 99 and began to overflow.
• Lu Chen used the Power of Creation to shatter and reconstruct the nine Spirit Rings of his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.
• Lu Chen turned the nine rings into growable Life Spirit Rings that could absorb his excess Soul Power and increase their age.

As Lu Chen cultivated amid a celestial phenomenon, Xue Beng and Tang San each recognized how far his power had advanced and considered how to respond. Xue Beng concealed his hatred while seeking to keep Lu Chen appeased, while Yu Xiaogang urged Tang San to pursue revenge despite his doubts.

• Lu Chen cultivated intensely as his Spirit Rings absorbed Soul Power and deepened in color.
• Xue Xing praised the phenomenon over the Longevity Sect and offered to send Lu Chen treasures, while Xue Beng hid his resentment and fear of him.

• Yu Xiaogang encouraged Tang San to rely on his Clear Sky Hammer, gain powerful Spirit Rings, and avenge his father and sect.

Lu Chen’s Innate Dao Body transformed his Spirit Rings into six black and three red rings and revealed his path to godhood, while powerful figures across the continent plotted around his rise. He returned to the Longevity Sect and learned that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had offered to serve there, prompting him to reveal his ability to control those with Plant Martial Souls.

• Tang San killed lone Spirit Masters in Sunset Forest to absorb their blood and strengthen himself, clinging to the hope of rescuing Xiao Wu from Lu Chen.

• Lu Chen told Dugu Bo that he had found a path to godhood and could ascend in about a year, then learned Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had come to serve the Longevity Sect.
• Lu Chen told Dugu Bo he could control Plant Spirit Beasts and people with Plant Martial Souls.

Lu Chen accelerated the growth of the Saint Soul Grass and used it to begin repairing Ah Rou’s damaged soul. As Ah Rou’s soul broke apart and reassembled, her memories started returning.

• Lu Chen told Dugu Bo that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo would join the Longevity Sect as its Left and Right Protectors.

• Ah Rou’s soul shattered and began to reassemble as the Saint Soul Grass repaired it, and memories from her past appeared in her mind.

Ah Rou recovered her soul and reunited with Xiao Wu after Lu Chen revived her, then accepted his offer to live and work in human society. Lu Chen honored his promise to give the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape Seven Star Agaves, and the next morning he prepared to take Ah Rou and Xiao Wu to Longevity Academy.

• Ah Rou woke believing Bibi Dong was still pursuing them, then learned from Xiao Wu that Lu Chen had revived her and reclaimed her Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone.
• Lu Chen invited Ah Rou to become Dean of Students at Longevity Academy and left Xiao Wu to explain what had happened since her mother's death.
• Lu Chen gave the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape one Seven Star Agave each, then urged them to cultivate until they could become Ferocious Beasts.
• The next morning, Ah Rou thanked Lu Chen for saving her and protecting Xiao Wu, while Xiao Wu clung happily to his arm.
• Lu Chen brought breakfast and offered to take Ah Rou to Longevity Academy so she could adjust to life among humans.

Lu Chen brought Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan to Sea God Island so Dugu Yan could seek the Sea God inheritance. After Lu Chen overwhelmed the island’s guardians, Bo Saixi arrived and greeted him.

• Lu Chen appointed Ah Rou as Longevity Academy’s director of academic affairs, and Ah Rou urged Xiao Wu to travel overseas with him.
• Lu Chen explained that Dugu Yan was the best candidate to inherit the Sea God Position and gave her the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Heart of the Sea God.
• Lu Chen flew with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan to Sea God Island, encouraging Dugu Yan to trust in her abilities.
• King of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks Xiao Bai attacked Lu Chen, but his Divine Sense destroyed the incoming blades and overwhelmed the sharks.
• The Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God gathered to confront Lu Chen, then Bo Saixi arrived and acknowledged his arrival and the three girls’ strong auras.

Dugu Yan received the Sea God’s Nine Trials, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing received the Red-Level Seven Trials. Bo Saixi led them to Sea God Mountain, where they began their first trial, Crossing the Sea God’s Light, and Zhu Zhuqing struggled first under the mounting pressure.

• Lu Chen agreed to go to Sea God Island with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan, while Bo Saixi sent six Guardian Douluos to tend to Xiao Bai and her clan.
• At the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, Dugu Yan received the blue-gold mark of the Sea God’s Nine Trials, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing each received a Red-Level Seven Trials mark.
• Bo Saixi explained the girls’ first trials and led them to Sea God Mountain, where Lu Chen encouraged them to begin climbing beneath the Sea God’s Light.
• The three girls climbed together as the pressure increased, but Zhu Zhuqing faltered at the seventy-sixth step and called out, “Martial Soul... Possession!”

Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Dugu Yan endured the Sea God's Light, and Lu Chen healed them with Life Divine Power before they began cultivating under its pressure. Lu Chen then returned to the continent to recruit Godwind Academy into Longevity Academy, where he heard that Bibi Dong had escaped Spirit Hall and revealed his identity at the academy gates.

• Zhu Zhuqing reached the ninety-ninth step and Xiao Wu reached the one hundred and sixth before the Sea God's Light knocked them unconscious, and Lu Chen healed both with Life Divine Power.
• Dugu Yan used Martial Soul Possession and her Eight Spider Lances to climb to the two hundred and eighth step before she collapsed, and Bo Saixi praised her potential as a Sea God inheritor.
• Lu Chen explained how the Sea God's Light and Life Divine Power had strengthened the women's physiques, and Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan began cultivating within the light after dinner.
• Lu Chen left Sea God Island the next day and headed to Godwind Academy to persuade it to join Longevity Academy.
• Lu Chen heard that Bibi Dong had escaped Spirit Hall after a battle that destroyed the Pontiff Palace, then went to Godwind Academy and revealed his identity to its gatekeepers.

Lu Chen offered to acquire Godwind Academy, but Feng Liuyun refused to disrupt the students’ preparations for the tournament. They agreed that the academies would settle the matter through a bet at the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament one year later.

• Feng Liuyun welcomed Lu Chen to Godwind Academy and served him specialty tea.
• Lu Chen offered ten million Gold Soul Coins and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone for Godwind Academy to join Longevity Academy, but Feng Liuyun refused because his students had prepared for the tournament.
• Lu Chen proposed that Godwind Academy join Longevity Academy with the promised compensation if the Godwind Team lost to the Longevity Academy Team, while he would abandon the acquisition if his team lost.
• Feng Liuyun accepted the bet and thanked Lu Chen for letting the Godwind Team compete before any merger.
• Lu Chen joked that his students would go easy on the Godwind Team, and Feng Liuyun insisted both teams should give their all.

Lu Chen secured Godwind Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Skywater Academy for Longevity Academy, but Yu Guhan refused to surrender Thunder Academy because it belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Lu Chen then arrived at Elephant Armor Academy, where Huyan Zhen eagerly welcomed him.

• Feng Liuyun accepted a twenty-thousand-year Spirit Bone from Lu Chen and decided Godwind Academy would join Longevity Academy after the tournament.
• Lu Chen offered Huo Ying and Shui Bingyue money and Spirit Bones, then secured their agreement through a wager tied to the tournament.
• Yu Guhan refused Lu Chen's offer to bring Thunder Academy into Longevity Academy, and Lu Chen left without pressing him.
• Lu Chen gave up on Thunder Academy and traveled to Elephant Armor Academy.
• Huyan Zhen hurried out to greet Lu Chen and respectfully invited him inside.

Lu Chen secured the Elephant Armor Sect and Academy by offering Huyan Zhen a Spirit Bone and funds, then tasked him with recruiting the other Lower Four Sects. After returning to Longevity Academy, Lu Chen overheard Ah Rou asking Ah Yin whether he mistreated her, and entered the office as Ah Rou became mortified.

• Lu Chen persuaded Huyan Zhen to merge Elephant Armor Academy into Longevity Academy after the tournament and paid him ten million Gold Soul Coins and a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
• Huyan Zhen pledged the Elephant Armor Sect and Academy to Lu Chen, who asked him to recruit the Black Tiger Sect, Wind Sword Sect, and Fire Leopard Sect with promises of similar rewards.
• Lu Chen returned to Longevity Academy and heard Ah Rou ask Ah Yin whether he had forced her to serve him.
• Ah Yin praised Lu Chen for saving and restoring her, saying she willingly called him master.
• Lu Chen entered the office, and Ah Rou realized he had overheard their conversation and became deeply embarrassed.

Lu Chen returned to Longevity Academy and ordered Ah Yin to prepare a team for the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament. He then met Zhu Xiongwu, who entrusted Zhu Zhuqing to him and invited him to support the Star Luo Empire, an offer Lu Chen intended to reject.

• Lu Chen told Ah Yin to select and train four main members and three reserves for the tournament, aiming for the championship.
• Lu Chen reassured Ah Rou that Xiao Wu was safely cultivating overseas and would return at least at the Spirit Emperor realm.
• Dugu Bo informed Lu Chen that Zhu Xiongwu, Zhu Zhuqing's father and the Duke Nether, had secretly arrived from the Star Luo Empire to meet him.
• Zhu Xiongwu asked Lu Chen to send Zhu Zhuqing home, but accepted that she was better off staying with Lu Chen and left her in his care.
• Zhu Xiongwu revealed that Zhu Zhuqing was engaged to Dai Mubai and promised to protect her from the engagement and any threats.

Lu Chen returned from Sea God Island, rejected the Star Luo Emperor’s recruitment, and told Dugu Bo that Dugu Yan had inherited the Sea God’s Nine Trials. After three months of cultivation and Lu Chen’s attempt to develop a technique for his Innate Dao Body, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan began challenging the Sea God’s Light again, where Xiao Wu used her Martial Soul Possession to push higher.

• Lu Chen refused Zhu Xiongwu’s offer to serve the Star Luo Empire and offered to help the Zhu Family leave if it ever wished to escape the empire.
• Lu Chen warned that the Star Luo Empire would be destroyed if it became an enemy of the Longevity Sect, then told Dugu Bo that Dugu Yan had received the Sea God’s Nine Trials.
• Dugu Bo celebrated Dugu Yan’s chance to become a god and agreed to manage the sect while Lu Chen returned to Sea God Island.
• Lu Chen spent three months meditating and studying his body in an effort to create a cultivation technique suited to his Innate Dao Body, while Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan each gained one Soul Power level.
• Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan began crossing the Sea God’s Light again, with Dugu Yan advancing fastest and Zhu Zhuqing falling behind.
• As Xiao Wu struggled around the one hundred thirty-third step, she activated Martial Soul Possession and summoned her five Spirit Rings to strengthen herself.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing completed the first trial of their Top-Level Seven Trials, while Dugu Yan endured severe injuries to finish the first trial of the Nine Trials of the Sea God. After Lu Chen healed and praised her, Bo Saixi gave Dugu Yan three days to rest before beginning the second trial.

• Xiao Wu reached the 133rd step and completed her first trial, earning a soul power level and 500 years added to her spirit rings.
• Zhu Zhuqing used her spirit skills and Left Arm Bone to reach the 133rd step, completing her first trial and beginning to absorb her rewards.
• Dugu Yan pushed through the Sea God's Light to climb the 333rd step, completing her first trial and gaining two soul power levels and 5% Sea God Affinity.
• Lu Chen healed Dugu Yan with Life Divine Power and praised her determination as she explained she wanted to keep pace with him.
• Bo Saixi congratulated Dugu Yan and told her to rest for three days before starting the second trial.

After recovering from the Sea God’s Light trial, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing prepared to cross the Ring Sea, believing they could cooperate to meet its restrictions. Zhu Zhuqing’s first attempt brought her face-to-face with Xiao Bai, the Hundred-Thousand-Year King of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, and left the trio’s trial far more dangerous than expected.

• Dugu Yan declined to rest and asked Bo Saixi to provide food and clean clothes before beginning the Second Trial.
• While washing beneath Zhu Zhuqing’s Darkness Swamp, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing discovered that their trials all required crossing the Ring Sea without killing a Sea Spirit Beast and decided they could work together.
• Lu Chen explained that Dugu Yan’s Sea God Affinity might lead to her inheriting the Sea God’s position, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing described their Soul Power and Spirit Ring rewards.
• After eating, Zhu Zhuqing went ahead to test the Ring Sea and dodged attacks from schools of Sword-shaped Fish.
• Xiao Bai rose from the sea and sent towering waves at Zhu Zhuqing, who escaped the first blow with her Nether Shadow Clone skill.
• When Xiao Bai struck at the falling Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuqing used Nether Shadow Piercing Strike to turn intangible and avoid the attack.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan trained for a month in the Ring Sea before attempting to cross it under Xiao Bai’s interception. They wounded Xiao Bai and began their escape, but Xiao Bai struck back, leaving Dugu Yan facing another attack.

• Xiao Bai introduced herself as the guardian of the Second Trial, and Lu Chen urged the women to use her as a sparring partner while preparing to cross the sea.
• After a month of training, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan set out together, disabled the attacking Sword-shaped Fish, and faced Xiao Bai.
• Xiao Wu blocked Xiao Bai’s bite with Invincible Golden Body and wounded her mouth with Star Shattering Flash before teleporting free.
• Zhu Zhuqing’s eight clones marked Xiao Bai with darkness, allowing Dugu Yan to strike her head with Sword Spine and injure her severely.
• Dugu Yan transformed into her Jade Phosphorus True Body and carried Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing toward the opposite shore as Xiao Bai pursued them.
• Xiao Bai hit Dugu Yan with Despair Light Wave, but Dugu Yan’s Mental Permanence Skull nullified the mental attack, and she prepared Mirror Reflection against Xiao Bai’s Demon Shark Teeth.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan defeated Xiao Bai to pass the Ring Sea trial, then Lu Chen healed the badly injured sea beast. After Xiao Bai returned to the Ring Sea, the women absorbed their rewards, and Dugu Yan reached level eighty just as Bo Saixi presented a God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

• Dugu Yan reflected most of Xiao Bai’s Demon Shark Teeth, while Zhu Zhuqing slowed Xiao Bai and she and Xiao Wu wounded it with their attacks.
• Dugu Yan struck Xiao Bai with her Jade Phosphorus Destruction Beam, and the three women swam to the opposite shore to complete their trials.
• At the women’s request, Lu Chen pulled Xiao Bai from the Ring Sea and used Life Divine Power to heal her injuries and regrow her tail.
• Xiao Bai revealed her human form, thanked Lu Chen, made peace with the women, and returned to the Ring Sea.
• Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan absorbed their trial rewards; Dugu Yan advanced to level eighty, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing each gained one level.
• Bo Saixi showed Lu Chen a God-Bestowed Soul Ring, and Lu Chen noted that Dugu Yan needed an Eighth Spirit Ring.

Dugu Yan absorbed a God-Bestowed Soul Ring and endured three days of tempering to gain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Eighth Spirit Ring, then began her Third Trial with Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing. The trial left Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing unconscious after five hours, while Dugu Yan remained chained to her pillar as the waves continued to strike.

• Lu Chen urged Dugu Yan to push the God-Bestowed Soul Ring to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level, and she began absorbing it.
• After three days, Dugu Yan completed the absorption, reached rank 84, and gained the Eighth Spirit Skill Dragon Emperor Other Dimension.
• The next day, Bo Saixi explained the Tidal Body Refining trial and raised three Deep Sea Sunken Silver Pillars from the ocean.
• Bo Saixi chained Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing to the pillars, then withdrew her power and unleashed the waves against them.
• Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing endured for five hours before their soul power ran out and they fainted.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan completed their Tidal Body Refining trials after six months, earning rewards that strengthened their Soul Power and advanced Xiao Wu toward becoming a Spirit Emperor. Zhu Zhuqing then chose to risk absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Bead, and began trying to awaken its power.

• Lu Chen rescued Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan when they collapsed during their first Tidal Body Refining session and healed them with Life Divine Power.
• Over six months, the three women endured increasingly long Tidal Body Refining sessions, with Lu Chen healing them each day and helping them complete their trials ahead of schedule.
• Dugu Yan completed her Sea God trial and reached level 86, while Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing completed their trials and received Soul Power and Spirit Ring rewards.
• Xiao Wu broke through to level 60 and condensed a powerful black Sixth Spirit Ring, while Zhu Zhuqing resolved to catch up with her companions.
• Lu Chen told Zhu Zhuqing that refining the Dark Demon Evil God Bead could evolve her Martial Soul and increase her Soul Power, but warned that its evil power might consume her will.
• Zhu Zhuqing accepted the risk and, following Lu Chen's instructions, gathered her spiritual power, Soul Power, and desire for strength into her heart's blood to trigger the bead.

Zhu Zhuqing endured the Dark Demon Evil God Bead’s tyrannical power and fully fused with it, evolving her Martial Soul. Xiao Wu also completed her sixth Spirit Ring, and the chapter ended with Lu Chen asking Zhu Zhuqing how much her soul power had increased.

• Zhu Zhuqing used her will and Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul to absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Bead’s evil power, evolving into a Dark Demon Evil God Miao.
• The God of Evil observed Zhu Zhuqing’s transformation and found it interesting.
• Lu Chen brought Dugu Yan over, explained the bead’s danger, and waited as Zhu Zhuqing struggled through the absorption.
• Xiao Wu completed her sixth Spirit Ring at sixty thousand years, reached level sixty-three, and gained the Void skill.
• Zhu Zhuqing emerged from the black mist with the Evil God Wings and Evil God Hook, having fully fused with the bead and evolved her Martial Soul into a Hell Spirit Tiger.
• Lu Chen asked Zhu Zhuqing how much her soul power had increased after she returned to her original appearance.
