Chapter Summaries

Qian Renheng studied Yue Guan’s Immortal Herb Illustrated Handbook while Ming Ji and Chun Xing reported spies in Spirit City and explained how they had entered his Sea of Consciousness to defend him. The chapter left Qian Renheng confident that the two spirits gave him extra protection against mental attacks.

• Qian Renheng read the Immortal Herb Illustrated Handbook to prepare for collecting Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.
• Ming Ji and Chun Xing returned from exploring Spirit City and told Qian Renheng they had spotted more than a dozen suspicious spies.
• Qian Renheng explained that Spirit Hall knowingly allowed spies to operate in the city because they posed no real threat and could be fed false information.
• Qian Renheng asked how Ming Ji and Chun Xing had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness during the Soul Shock in Star Dou Forest.
• Chun Xing and Ming Ji explained that they sensed his Sea of Consciousness being attacked and could help block future soul attacks and Mental Power probes.

Qian Renheng learned more about the Death Realm’s revival powers and the Life Realm’s Life Essence and accelerated plant growth, then suspected the Death Realm had another undiscovered ability. He left the question unresolved as he considered the realms’ apparent imbalance.

• Qian Renheng realized Ming Ji and Chun Xing could shield his soul from attacks and soul shock, so he planned to strengthen his body to absorb higher-year Soul Rings.
• Ming Ji explained that the Death Realm could revive powerful fighters through Death Apostle Seats, bind them with absolute loyalty, and restore their bodies after death.
• Chun Xing described the Life Realm’s Life Essence, rapid plant growth, and the limits on plants that reached one hundred thousand years.
• Qian Renheng compared the realms’ abilities and suspected the Death Realm possessed a hidden power they had not yet discovered.

Qian Renheng learned that Ming Ji could not tell whether the Death Realm held abilities beyond the Death Apostle Seat because their strength was too low to reveal its secrets. Excited by the possibility of undiscovered powers, he entered the Death Realm with Ming Ji and Chun Xing to explore it.

• Qian Renheng asked Ming Ji to sense whether the Death Realm had another ability, and she said she did not know.
• Ming Ji explained that the companion worlds’ mysteries exceeded their current strength, and Chun Xing agreed with her.

• Ming Ji opened a bronze doorway, and Qian Renheng entered the Death Realm with her and Chun Xing, who followed despite feeling uncomfortable.
• Qian Renxue heard Qian Renheng laughing and wondered whether he had developed another Self-Created Soul Skill before returning to her cultivation.

Qian Renheng explored the Death Realm and discovered that he could remain there without spending Soul Power and replenish any power he used. He followed strange cries to find five Soul Beasts he had believed dead, fighting in the realm.

• Qian Renheng burned his bare feet upon entering the Death Realm, and Chun Xing healed them.
• Qian Renheng surveyed the volcanic landscape and found that, after becoming a Soul Elder, he could stay in the Death Realm without consuming Soul Power.
• Qian Renheng flew across the realm and discovered that its death, darkness, and Destruction auras instantly replenished his spent Soul Power.
• Qian Renheng heard cries from an unknown source and flew toward them with Ming Ji and Chun Xing.
• Qian Renheng found the Dawn Golden Crow, Six-Winged Black Crow, Abyssal Death Kite, Blazing Golden Luan, and Annihilation Nether Vulture fighting below, with four attacking one.

Qian Renheng discovered the Death Realm’s second ability, the Undead Calamity, which turned the five dead Soul Beasts into immortal creatures under his command. He realized that beings who died near him could become loyal undead warriors, leaving him alarmed by the scale of the power he possessed.

• Qian Renheng sensed a connection to the five Soul Beasts fighting nearby, and Ming Ji felt she could control them.
• Qian Renheng landed among the Soul Beasts and commanded them to kneel, forcing them to submit.
• Qian Renheng realized the Soul Beasts were Undead Creatures created by the Death Realm and learned they could resurrect endlessly after being killed.
• Ming Ji approached the Undead Creatures, who addressed her as their Queen and Qian Renheng as their Sovereign.
• Qian Renheng understood that the Undead Calamity could create loyal undead from living beings who died near him, and he recognized the Death Realm and Life Realm each had two core abilities.

Qian Renheng discovered he could control the Undead Creatures’ origins, destroy and revive them, and make them fuse or devour one another. He crafted a new twelve-winged female Undead Creature with high intelligence, who greeted him and Ming Ji as her masters.

• Qian Renheng plucked the white threads linked to five Undead Creatures, causing them to explode, then watched their origins absorb Death Qi and restore their bodies.
• Qian Renheng fused the five origins briefly, then ordered the Six-Winged Black Crow to attack the Abyssal Death Kite while it was forbidden to resist.
• Qian Renheng let the Six-Winged Black Crow devour the Abyssal Death Kite’s origin, and the Crow grew stronger after consuming it.
• Qian Renheng destroyed the Undead Creatures and carefully fused their origins into a beautiful female Undead Creature with twelve Black Angel Wings.
• The new Undead Creature knelt before Qian Renheng and Ming Ji, spoke respectfully, and displayed unusually high intelligence.

Qian Renheng named Seraphia King of Undead and charged her with managing the Death Realm and protecting its undead population. Before leaving, he tested his soul skills with the realm’s abundant Soul Power, discovering that his Mental Power and control still limited what he could create.

• Qian Renheng named Seraphia King of Undead, ordered her to manage the undead, and forbade intelligent undead from devouring one another or indiscriminately consuming weaker undead.
• Seraphia accepted Qian Renheng’s decree and departed to familiarize herself with the Death Realm.
• Qian Renheng tested Star Plucking Moon Grasping and blasted a crater hundreds of meters wide into the ground.
• Qian Renheng comforted Chun Xing by promising her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings once he reached the Titled Douluo rank, while Ming Ji tested her own strength.
• Qian Renheng covered himself in Angel Armor, then failed to complete Angel Descent when the complex formation overwhelmed his Mental Power and control.

Qian Renheng tested the limits of his Self-Created Soul Skill and discovered that his endless Soul Power was constrained by his Mental Power and control. He then poured his Soul Power into Final Dark Annihilation, whose catastrophic impact left a vast crater in the Death Realm.

• Qian Renheng reflected that Angel Descent required precise control and that Self-Created Soul Skills were difficult and time-consuming to develop.
• Qian Renheng unleashed Final Dark Annihilation and fed it Soul Power until its Black Flame meteor grew to more than ten thousand meters across.
• Chun Xing and Ming Ji watched in shock as the meteor loomed over the Death Realm, while Seraphia feared it could destroy the realm.
• Qian Renheng cut off the Soul Power supply, and the meteor struck the ground, blasting apart mountains and forming a crater tens of thousands of meters wide.
• Qian Renheng celebrated the Soul Skill’s immense destructive power and recognized that its long wind-up was outweighed by its potential.

Qian Renheng returned from the Death Realm and planned to build Seraphia an undead army from fallen soul beasts, while Qian Renxue reached Soul Power Level thirty through relentless cultivation. At a Spirit Hall gathering, Qian Renheng explained his Death Angel Martial Soul’s undead-raising ability, leaving the assembled leaders astonished by its potential.

• Qian Renheng left the Death Realm with Ming Ji and Chun Xing, and Seraphia inspected his enormous crater and lamented that she had no subjects.
• Qian Renheng planned to visit the Star Dou Forest with Qian Renxue and turn dead soul beasts into Undead Creatures for Seraphia’s legion before falling asleep.
• Qian Renxue cultivated through the night and resolved to work harder than her brother, who advanced with far less effort.
• Over the following half-month, Qian Renxue broke through to level thirty while Qian Renheng reached level thirty-six despite spending his time sleeping, training, and reading.
• At the Worship Hall, Qian Renheng explained his Death Angel Martial Soul’s second ability, and Golden Crocodile Douluo marveled at the prospect of an enormous undead army.

Qian Renheng’s family praised his ability to raise the dead, while Qian Yanyan warned him not to become consumed by killing. Qian Renheng then asked to join Qian Renxue’s trip to Star Dou Forest so he could turn Soul Beasts dying naturally into Undead Creatures, and Qian Yanyan considered the idea reasonable.

• Qian Wuji praised Qian Renheng’s power for giving Spirit Hall a potential Undead Legion to supplement its armies.
• Qian Yanyan cautioned Qian Renheng against pursuing strength through slaughter and losing his humanity.

Qian Renheng explored how the Death Realm turned dead Soul Beasts into Undead Creatures, while Qian Daoliu warned him against becoming a Fallen Soul Master. In the Star Dou Forest, Qian Renxue began absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as Qian Renheng used his new Dominator's Eye to observe an Undead Seraphia confronting the newly created Sacred Flame Red Bird.

• Qian Daoliu warned Qian Renheng not to slaughter Soul Beasts to expand his Death Realm or risk becoming a Fallen Soul Master.
• Qian Yanyan took Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue to the Star Dou Forest, where he subdued a ten-thousand-year Sacred Flame Red Bird for Qian Renxue's third Soul Ring.
• Qian Renxue struggled to absorb the black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring as the Sacred Flame Red Bird's resentment attacked her Sea of Consciousness.
• Qian Renheng sensed the Death Realm draw power from the dead Sacred Flame Red Bird and transform it into an Undead Creature.
• Qian Renheng used his new Dominator's Eye to survey the Death Realm and saw Seraphia facing the newly created Sacred Flame Red Bird, apparently preparing to devour it.

Qian Renheng confirmed that the Sacred Flame Red Bird had become an Undead Creature and learned that summoning undead into the real world required Soul Power he did not yet have. After Qian Yanyan helped ease his impatience, Qian Renheng watched Qian Renxue absorb her Soul Ring as her Soul Power began to rise.

• Seraphia sensed Qian Renheng watching from the Peak of the Firmament, then obeyed his order to kill the Sacred Flame Red Bird and devour its essence.
• Qian Renheng reported that the Sacred Flame Red Bird had transformed into an Undead Creature with half its former strength but diminished intelligence.
• Qian Renheng explained that summoning Undead Creatures into the real world required a spatial gate and Soul Power reserves beyond his current capacity.
• Qian Renheng planned to seek Immortal Herbs in Sunset Forest, but Qian Yanyan urged him to cultivate patiently and praised his progress.
• After four hours, Qian Renxue's Soul Ring stopped resisting and merged with her body as her Soul Power surged past level thirty.

Qian Renxue survived absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and rose to Soul Power Level thirty-five, while she and Qian Renheng reflected on the exceptional resources that had made their breakthroughs possible. After they spent three days gathering dead Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Forest, Qian Renheng’s Death Realm held more than a thousand Undead Creatures, with Seraphia growing stronger by devouring their origins.

• Qian Renxue overcame the Soul Shock of her Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, reached Soul Power Level thirty-five, and told Qian Renheng that Spirit Herbs had helped her endure the Soul Beast’s resentment.

• Qian Renheng saw that the Death Realm had grown to contain more than a thousand Undead Creatures, while Seraphia stood as their king.
• Seraphia devoured the origins of other Undead Creatures with Qian Renheng’s permission and rapidly increased his strength.

Qian Renheng returned to Spirit City with Qian Yanyan and Qian Renxue after reviewing Seraphia’s growth and the Undead Legion. Qian Renxue demonstrated her powerful third soul skill, Angel’s Judgment, while Qian Renheng prepared for a trip to the Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

• Qian Renheng sensed Seraphia’s rapid growth and decided to preserve the Undead Legion rather than let her devour all the newly gathered undead.
• Qian Yanyan transported Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue back to Spirit City from the Star Dou Forest.
• Qian Renxue demonstrated Angel’s Judgment, unleashing a storm of golden swords and concentrating them into a gigantic Holy Angel Sword.
• Qian Renheng praised Qian Renxue’s soul skill for its power, flexibility, and precision.
• Qian Renheng studied an Immortal Herb Illustrated Handbook in preparation for visiting the Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, while Qian Renxue cultivated in the next room.

Qian Renheng persuaded Qian Wuji to investigate a possible cluster of Immortal Herbs in Sunset Forest, then went to fetch Qian Renxue. The three prepared to set out, though Qian Renxue suspected her brother had come to teach her another difficult Self-Created Soul Skill.

• Qian Renheng proposed that he and Qian Wuji secretly investigate whether Sunset Forest contained a large number of Immortal Herbs.
• Qian Wuji agreed because the trip would let him leave the Supreme Elder Hall, where his father had been keeping him under strict discipline.
• Qian Renheng left to bring Qian Renxue along, and Qian Wuji welcomed the chance to visit Sunset Forest.
• Qian Renheng entered Qian Renxue's room while she was cultivating, and she cautiously asked whether he planned to teach her another difficult Self-Created Soul Skill.

Qian Renheng persuaded Qian Renxue to join him in seeking Immortal Herbs, then brought her to meet Qian Wuji. They found their Uncle-Grandfather alone in the Martial Arts Arena, dramatically lamenting his life in captivity.

• Qian Renheng told Qian Renxue that Qian Wuji sometimes had something wrong with him and that they needed to care for the elderly.

Qian Wuji took Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue toward Sunset Forest, but his irritation at their teasing turned the journey into a reckless aerial ride. After he dropped them toward a forest, he caught them and begged them not to tell Qian Yanyan.

• Qian Wuji overheard Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue mocking his eccentric behavior, then argued that his love of nature was refined elegance.
• Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue pretended to admire Qian Wuji's tastes, but their whispered teasing made him furious.

• Qian Wuji released control of the Soul Power barrier above a mountain range, sending Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue plunging toward the forest below.
• Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue threatened to tell Qian Yanyan, so Qian Wuji caught them and pleaded with them not to tattle.

Qian Wuji took Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue on a leisurely journey toward Sunset Forest, funding their travels by robbing wealthy nobles. The trio emptied a noble’s treasury, with Qian Renxue joining in after Qian Renheng justified the theft as purifying corrupt wealth.

• Qian Wuji led Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue north toward Sunset Forest, stopping along the way to sightsee and sample local food.

• Qian Renheng argued that the nobles’ Gold Soul Coins were tainted by exploitation and should be purified by the Angel God’s inheritors.
• Qian Renxue abandoned her doubts and helped Qian Renheng and Qian Wuji take every Gold Soul Coin from the treasury.

After a month of sightseeing, Qian Wuji, Qian Renheng, and Qian Renxue reached Soul Hunting Town near Sunset Forest. Qian Wuji urged the siblings to enjoy life as well as cultivate, then announced they would enter the forest at dawn to search for an Immortal Herb treasure ground.

• Qian Renheng praised Qian Wuji for making their month of travel so enjoyable, while Qian Renxue lamented that she had barely trained despite having fun and earning Gold Soul Coins.
• Qian Wuji argued that enjoying life and keeping a clear mind could help with future breakthroughs, and compared the siblings' prospects with those of their family and the Angel God.
• Qian Wuji boasted that he had once used a single Ninth Soul Skill to control more than a dozen Titled Douluo, but Qian Renheng and Qian Renxue doubted his stories.
• Qian Wuji invited the siblings to shop for supplies before entering Sunset Forest at dawn, and they eagerly hurried out of the suite.

Qian Renheng, Qian Renxue, and Qian Wuji searched Sunset Forest for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, while Qian Renheng used the journey to gather Undead Creatures. After days without success, Qian Wuji spotted a suspicious poisonous fog and led them to investigate.

• Qian Renheng suggested searching for unusual terrain or poisonous mist to locate the treasure land, and Qian Renxue eagerly agreed to keep looking for immortal herbs.
• Qian Wuji flew the trio across Sunset Forest for a week, while Qian Renheng collected Undead Creatures until the Death Realm held five thousand.
