Chapter Summaries

Luo Nan brought Di Tian to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in exchange for a solution to his dangerous Martial Soul conflict. Di Tian recognized the burial place of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, but Luo Nan demanded that he honor his promise before touching anything there.

• Di Tian identified the conflict between Luo Nan’s light and darkness Martial Souls as the cause of his damaged meridians and agreed to help in exchange for the Dragon Kings’ burial place.
• Luo Nan trusted Di Tian’s pride and promise, then led him toward Sunset Forest.
• Luo Nan and Di Tian crossed Dugu Bo’s poisonous miasma and reached the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
• Di Tian sensed the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s dormant dragon souls and essences, and eagerly imagined taking them to the Star Dou Forest.
• Luo Nan stopped Di Tian from acting and insisted that he resolve Luo Nan’s Martial Soul conflict first; Di Tian said the problem was easy to solve.

Di Tian explained that the Golden Sacred Dragon and Dark Demon Dragon’s conflicting powers threatened to destroy Luo Nan, and proposed a second, reverse-rotating darkness Soul Core to balance them. Luo Nan accepted the dangerous method and began gathering dark power in his chest under Di Tian’s guidance.

• Di Tian said the Dark Demon Dragon’s superior power and its conflict with the Golden Sacred Dragon’s light had made Luo Nan’s body a battlefield, and his strength only temporarily suppressed the danger.
• Luo Nan told Di Tian that he had already condensed a Soul Core combining gold, red, and blue attributes.
• Di Tian proposed Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores: Luo Nan would condense a pure-darkness Soul Core in his chest, rotating opposite to his first Soul Core in his dantian.
• Di Tian warned that a mistake could make the two Soul Cores collide and kill Luo Nan, but promised the method would balance his Martial Souls and greatly increase his power.
• Luo Nan agreed to try, sat cross-legged at the cliff’s edge, and gathered the dark power in his body toward the danzhong acupoint as Di Tian instructed.

Luo Nan endured the process of condensing a second Soul Core and successfully separated the powers of light and darkness, resolving his Martial Soul conflict. Di Tian watched him with an unsettling expression, then did something unexpected.

• Luo Nan used spiritual power to guide his light and dark forces into separate paths while Di Tian instructed him through the painful condensation process.
• Di Tian tried to communicate with the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King souls beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
• After a long passage of time, Luo Nan formed complementary Soul Cores that spun in opposite directions and felt his strength surge.
• Luo Nan noticed Di Tian staring at him with shock, relief, expectation, and a hint of awe, and asked whether he planned to attack.
• Di Tian confirmed that Luo Nan had resolved his Martial Soul conflict, then did something that left Luo Nan stunned.

Di Tian left after asking Luo Nan to cultivate well and protect the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving Luo Nan baffled by his sudden change of attitude. Luo Nan spent a day mastering his newly formed dual Soul Cores, then set off to return.

• Di Tian patted Luo Nan’s shoulder, told him to cultivate well and protect the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then departed through a spatial rift.
• Luo Nan wondered whether the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King’s souls or his twin dragon Martial Souls had caused Di Tian to treat him differently.
• Luo Nan decided to keep the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and sat down to acclimate to his Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores.
• Luo Nan discovered that his dual Soul Cores produced powerful gray-white Soul Power and greatly enhanced his spiritual power.
• After a day and night of cultivation, Luo Nan opened his eyes at sunrise and flew away to return.

Luo Nan returned safely to Moonlight Pavilion and reunited with Tang Yuehua before spending several days with her. He then prepared to confront Bibi Dong, but his disciples Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling reminded him that he had promised to teach them body tempering and help them hunt stronger spirit rings.

• Luo Nan returned to Moonlight Pavilion, and Tang Yuehua rushed into his arms, relieved that he was safe.
• Luo Nan carried Tang Yuehua to the inner room, and they spent the next several days together.
• On the fifth morning, Luo Nan got dressed and prepared to go to Spirit City to settle his debt with Bibi Dong.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling approached Luo Nan and asked when he would teach them body tempering and take them to hunt higher-age spirit rings.
• Luo Nan realized he had forgotten his promise and claimed he had been pondering profound matters.

Luo Nan brought Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling into Moonlight Pavilion’s secret chamber to teach them how to use Whale Rubber as a body-tempering treasure. He purified two hundred-year pieces for them and warned them to control the powerful side effects as they refined them.

• Luo Nan warned Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to keep the Whale Rubber method secret, and they promised not to tell anyone.
• Luo Nan explained that Whale Rubber could strengthen a Soul Master’s body and raise the age limit of absorbable spirit rings.
• Luo Nan put away a ten-thousand-year piece because its energy was too powerful for the girls and brought out two hundred-year pieces instead.
• Luo Nan purified the two pieces with golden flames, driving out their impurities and turning them into a fragrant, golden substance.
• Luo Nan gave the bowls to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and instructed them to refine the Whale Rubber while resisting its powerful aphrodisiac effects.

Luo Nan guided Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling through half a month of Whale Rubber body tempering, strengthening them enough to absorb soul rings over seven hundred years old. He then prepared to take them to Sunset Forest for an enormous stroke of fortune before they hunted soul beasts.

• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling swallowed Whale Rubber and endured its painful backlash while Luo Nan urged them to hold on and control their Soul Power.
• After two hours, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling recovered and discovered that their bodies and Soul Power circulation had grown stronger.
• Luo Nan told them to temper their bodies with Whale Rubber every three days, and the two girls spent the next half month enduring the treatment.
• Luo Nan judged that their bones and meridians could now withstand soul rings over seven hundred years old.
• Luo Nan told Dugu Yan to call her grandfather and announced that they would set out for Sunset Forest, where he would first grant the girls an enormous stroke of fortune.

Luo Nan brought Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to give the girls immortal herbs suited to their Martial Souls. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling consumed the herbs and began absorbing their medicinal effects.

• Luo Nan gave Dugu Yan the Narcissus Jade Bone, which he said could cleanse her toxins and help her Martial Soul evolve.
• Luo Nan gave Ye Lingling the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, hoping it would help overcome the Nine-Heart Begonia’s inheritance limitations.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling consumed their herbs as Luo Nan instructed, then sat down to meditate and absorb their effects.

Luo Nan guarded Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan as they absorbed immortal herbs in Sunset Forest, and both disciples’ Martial Souls underwent remarkable transformations. With their problems resolved, he prepared to take them into the forest to obtain their first soul rings.

• Luo Nan reassured Dugu Bo that the Whale Rubber would protect Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling as they absorbed their immortal herbs.
• Ye Lingling absorbed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, breaking the Nine-Heart Begonia’s inheritance limit and gaining a renewed, unrestricted Martial Soul.

• Dugu Yan absorbed the Narcissus Jade Bone and evolved her Martial Soul into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, freeing her from toxin backlash.
• Luo Nan lifted Dugu Yan to her feet and announced that he would take both disciples to obtain their first soul rings.

Luo Nan led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling through Sunset Forest to obtain eight-hundred-year first Soul Rings, guiding each toward a path suited to her abilities. After both girls successfully absorbed their rings and returned to Moonlight Pavilion, a conspicuously muscular man walked out as Luo Nan was about to enter.

• Luo Nan told Dugu Yan to train as an assault-type Soul Master and Ye Lingling to pursue ultimate healing, while Dugu Bo questioned their planned eight-hundred-year Soul Rings.
• Dugu Bo identified an eight-hundred-and-thirty-year Black-Scaled Jade Phosphorous Snake, and Luo Nan subdued it so Dugu Yan could absorb its Soul Ring and reach Rank 16.
• Luo Nan found an eight-hundred-year Clearheart Water Lotus, and Ye Lingling successfully absorbed its Soul Ring.
• Luo Nan asked Dugu Bo to stay by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and guard the immortal herbs, then returned to Heaven Dou City with his disciples.
• Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling went to their rooms to consolidate their new Soul Rings, and a muscular man emerged from Moonlight Pavilion as Luo Nan approached.

• Tang Yuehua said Tang Hu had ordered her to provide one million Gold Soul Coins within two days, claiming the sealed sect needed financial support.
• Tang Yuehua revealed that the sect’s elders had once considered her a disgrace because her mutated martial soul kept her from advancing beyond Rank 9.

Tang Yuehua told Luo Nan how the Clear Sky Sect had abandoned her when she founded Moonlight Pavilion and how Tang Hu had demanded one million Gold Soul Coins. Luo Nan comforted her, vowed to protect her from the sect, and she confessed that she wanted to bear his son before they spent the day alone together.

• Tang Yuehua recounted how she built Moonlight Pavilion without the Clear Sky Sect's help and became furious that Tang Hu had come to demand a share of its wealth.

Tang Hu and three Clear Sky Sect fighters arrived at Moonlight Pavilion to collect one million Gold Soul Coins, but Tang Yuehua and Luo Nan refused. After Tang Hu revealed his group’s strength and challenged Luo Nan, Luo Nan realized Tang Xiao had concealed his true level and sent the men as pawns against him.

• Tang Hu and three burly men stormed into Moonlight Pavilion after the two-day deadline and demanded that Tang Yuehua hand over one million Gold Soul Coins.
• Tang Yuehua refused to give the sect Moonlight Pavilion’s money, and Luo Nan ordered the intruders to kneel, apologize, and leave Heaven Dou City.

Half a month later, the injured men reached the Clear Sky Sect, where Tang Xiao and the elders gathered to hear what had happened.

• Tang Hu and his three attendants were thrown out of Moonlight Pavilion, then fled Heaven Dou City on a hired cart while the crowd mocked them.
• Tang Yuehua asked Luo Nan whether he should have killed the Clear Sky Sect men instead of letting them return, and Luo Nan said he wanted them to carry a warning back to the sect.
• Luo Nan explained that the Clear Sky Sect had lost its affiliated clans and was running out of resources, so its elders would likely seek Moonlight Pavilion’s wealth through force or appeals to family ties.
• Half a month later, the carters brought Tang Hu and his injured attendants to the Clear Sky Sect’s iron-chain bridge, where the guards recognized Tang Hu and summoned the sect leaders.
• Tang Xiao sat in the Clear Sky Sect’s council hall as the elders gathered in a tense meeting.

Tang Hu reported that Luo Nan had crippled him and three other Soul Emperors after they tried to demand money from Tang Yuehua, and the Clear Sky Sect elders debated retaliation. Learning Luo Nan was a Soul Douluo with a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, Tang Xiao and the elders realized they could not safely challenge him, leaving the sect humiliated and uncertain what to do.

• Tang Hu accused Tang Yuehua of refusing the sect’s funding demand and claimed Luo Nan had crippled him and three other Soul Emperors.
• Tang Lie and the other elders demanded that Tang Yuehua and Luo Nan be punished, while Tang Xiao tried to learn how strong Luo Nan was.

• The elders recognized that they could neither defeat Luo Nan with confidence nor risk a battle, and they sat in frustrated humiliation.

Tang Xiao decided the Clear Sky Sect would try again to get money from Tang Yuehua, while Luo Nan prepared to leave Heaven Dou City and entrusted Moonlight Pavilion to Dugu Bo. Luo Nan set out to confront Bibi Dong over what she had done to him.

• The Seventh Elder blamed Tang Yuehua for refusing to help the Clear Sky Sect, but Tang Xiao reminded the elders that they had driven her out when Spirit Hall threatened the sect.
