Chapter Summaries

After Qian Renxue completed the One-Legged Golden Crow’s sacrifice, her transformed Angel Martial Soul and power increased dramatically. She also discovered a unique Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone, surprising Mo Lin.

• Qian Renxue finished absorbing the sacrifice and revealed a greatly enhanced appearance and aura.
• Mo Lin observed that Qian Renxue’s new strength could likely purify the Evil Orca King, though purifying the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King would take time.
• Qian Renxue described how the sacrifice improved her powers of holiness, light, and fire, and recalled Tang Hao killing her father.
• Mo Lin explained that the Golden Crow’s divine bloodline, its compatibility with Qian Renxue, and its unusual cultivation accounted for her exceptional gains.
• Qian Renxue told Mo Lin that the sacrifice had granted her what she believed was the world’s only Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone, shaped like armor.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue tested the Golden Crow Holy Armor, while Mo Ning urged Mo Lin to begin the planned theft from the Heaven Dou Treasure Vault. Mo Lin and Mo Ning launched their operation, and Elder Ming sensed the disturbance and moved to investigate.

• Mo Lin named Qian Renxue's newly acquired soul bone the Golden Crow Holy Armor, and they tested its defenses and enhancements.
• Qian Renxue stabilized her soul power at level eighty-three, while Mo Lin considered ways to break through to level eighty.
• Mo Ning asked Mo Lin to begin the Treasure Vault operation, and Mo Lin agreed to start that night.
• Mo Lin warned Mo Ning that a Titled Douluo might guard the vault and explained how his teleportation depended on having observed a location.
• Mo Lin and Mo Ning disguised themselves and watched the vault's patrols from a palace rooftop; Mo Lin said deaths could serve his later plans.
• Elder Ming sensed a change in the airflow inside the Treasure Vault and went to investigate.

Mo Ning distracted Elder Ming while Mo Lin used Grand Luo Insight to enter the treasury’s deepest level and steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, two External Soul Bones, an unidentified fragment, and many other treasures. The brothers reunited at the Crown Prince's residence, where Mo Ning saw the room full of loot and asked why Mo Lin had taken so much.

• Mo Ning casually confronted Elder Ming and kept him chatting while Mo Lin entered the treasury.
• Mo Lin descended to the hidden lower level and found the final treasures.
• Mo Lin took the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, two External Soul Bones, an unidentified fragment, and the rest of the treasury’s contents.
• Mo Ning completed his three-minute distraction, and Elder Ming gave him several bottles of medicine before letting him leave.
• Mo Lin returned to the Crown Prince's residence and showed Mo Ning the stolen goods, prompting him to ask why Mo Lin had taken more than three items.

Mo Lin kept the treasures he had stolen from the Heaven Dou Empire’s vault, including two External Soul Bones, while storing an unidentified fragment for later. After Elder Ming reported the theft, Xue Ye summoned officials to the palace, where Mo Lin denied sending anyone from the Crown Prince’s Palace out the previous night.

• Mo Lin decided to keep the darkness and light External Soul Bones and stored the unidentified fragment in his bracelet.
• Elder Ming told Xue Ye that the underground section of the imperial treasure vault had been robbed, and Xue Ye ordered it sealed.
• Mo Lin received a summons to the imperial palace, and Qian Renxue worried that he might be in trouble.
• At the palace meeting, Xue Ye asked Mo Lin whether he had sent anyone out the previous night, and Mo Lin denied it.
• Xue Ye announced that the Heaven Dou Empire’s treasure vault had been robbed as Elder Ming watched Mo Lin suspiciously.

Elder Ming recounted the treasure vault theft, and Mo Lin used the evidence of a forged Crown Prince’s token to shift suspicion away from Xue Qinghe while admitting his own negligence. He hinted that the theft might be connected to someone’s familiar methods, leaving the court waiting for his explanation.

• Elder Ming told Emperor Xue Ye and the ministers that a man carrying the Crown Prince’s token had entered the vault before the theft was discovered.
• Elder Ming revealed that eight guards and six Soul Masters near the vault had been poisoned to death, while Mo Lin privately recalled using Soul-Chasing Poison to kill them.
• Emperor Xue Ye proposed that the thief had used a decoy and an unknown method to steal from the vault, and Mo Lin asked Elder Ming to inspect his gold token.
• Elder Ming identified eight marks on Mo Lin’s token that had not appeared on the token shown to him the previous night.
• Mo Lin admitted that one of his tokens had been stolen and returned, and said his failure to investigate had contributed to the theft and fourteen deaths.
• Mo Lin suggested that stealing something and returning it resembled someone’s usual method, then hinted that his failings might extend further.

Mo Lin blamed the White Shadow Phantom Thief for the treasury robbery and accepted responsibility before Xue Ye, who punished him with six months of confinement. Back in the Crown Prince’s bedchamber, Mo Lin explained to Qian Renxue that the punishment would let him move about freely while avoiding suspicion.

• Mo Lin identified the White Shadow Phantom Thief as the culprit behind Xue Beng’s breakdown, the treasury robbery, and the deaths of fourteen guards, prompting Xue Ye to order a wanted hunt.
• Mo Lin accepted responsibility for downplaying the thief’s threat, and Xue Ye sentenced him to six months of confinement rather than removing him as Crown Prince.
• Qian Renxue waited for Mo Lin’s return and reflected on her feelings for him and how much she owed him, while deciding she would not give him her first time without deeper feelings.
• Mo Lin returned and told Qian Renxue that Xue Ye had confined him, which he had anticipated as a way to leave the palace unnoticed using spatial transfer.
• Mo Lin explained that he had secured the confinement sentence by voluntarily taking on indirect responsibility and making the punishment seem appropriate.

Mo Lin explained how he had taken responsibility for a theft to secure confinement and divert attention, then prepared to leave with Qian Renxue to cultivate. They arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Dugu Bo reluctantly let Mo Lin use the treasured land again.

• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that he had taken responsibility for the previous night's theft and revealed he planned to cultivate in seclusion for a month before going to Sea God Island.
• Qian Renxue chose to accompany Mo Lin, and he arranged for Mo Ning and his second sister to keep a low profile after their departure.
• Mo Lin and Qian Renxue traveled to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Little Qilin and Little Phoenix, where they encountered Dugu Bo.
• Dugu Bo guessed Mo Lin had come to cultivate and reluctantly gave him permission to use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well again.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue discussed their ambiguous relationship and admitted that they were attracted to each other. When Qian Renxue asked what would happen to his senior sister, Mo Lin declared that he wanted both women.

• Dugu Bo noticed Qian Renxue beside Mo Lin, guessed that they had feelings for each other, and left with a teasing remark.
• Mo Lin asked Qian Renxue to clarify their relationship, and she admitted that she was upset he had stopped flirting with her.
• Mo Lin explained that he had held back because his senior sister was pursuing him, though he had not answered her feelings.
• Mo Lin bluntly told Qian Renxue that he craved her body, and Qian Renxue admitted her attraction to him was also based on his appearance.
• When Qian Renxue asked about his senior sister, Mo Lin said that he wanted them both.

Mo Lin entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate before challenging Qian Renxue, while she trained on its fire side. A month later, Mo Lin began merging Yin-Yang Five Thunders into his Primordial Qi as he prepared to break through.

• Mo Lin decided to postpone fighting Qian Renxue until he reached Soul Douluo, and Qian Renxue agreed to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Mo Lin refused to give Qian Renxue the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent's inner cores, explaining they were crucial to his cultivation, then comforted her with a promise to find her something suitable later.
• Qian Renxue began cultivating on the fire side of the well, while Mo Lin removed his clothes and entered the well with the inner cores.
• One month later, black and white lightning erupted from the well as Mo Lin reached the final stage of mastering the Thunder Method.
• Mo Lin drew the Yin-Yang Five Thunders into his body and began carefully merging their two streams of Qi into his Primordial Qi.

Mo Lin merged the Yin-Yang Five Thunders into his Primordial Qi, then consumed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and Ice Flood Dragon inner cores to absorb their powers. After the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well calmed, he appeared behind Qian Renxue using a new ability that was not his previous soul skill.

• Mo Lin patiently absorbed the Yin-Yang Five Thunders into his Primordial Qi and discovered they had formed gray lightning.
• Mo Lin swallowed the eleven inner cores with Devour Heaven and Earth and used his soul power to contain their opposing fire and ice forces.
• Mo Lin let the Heaven-Devouring Titan Python possess him and manage his digestion while he kept the inner cores' energies in check.
• Qian Renxue cultivated beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as its alternating heat and cold gradually weakened.
• Qian Renxue noticed the well had returned to normal and saw Mo Lin appear behind her without leaving a trace.
• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that his new movement ability was not his previous soul skill.

Mo Lin revealed his new hundred-thousand-year soul ring to Qian Renxue, then entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to find the Water and Fire Dragon Kings. He awakened their remaining divine consciousness and proposed that they kill their way back to the Divine Realm.

• Mo Lin showed Qian Renxue his third hundred-thousand-year soul ring and explained that it came from the fused cores of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent and the ice wyrm.
• Mo Lin entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Little Qilin and Little Phoenix followed him in while Qian Renxue watched from the shore.
• Mo Lin reached the spring source and passed through its light into the small world created by the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.
• Mo Lin used Spirit Binding and General Dispatch to awaken the Fire Dragon King's and Water Dragon King's remaining divine consciousness.
• Mo Lin told the Dragon Kings he had come to discuss killing their way back to the Divine Realm.

Mo Lin explained to the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King why he wanted to challenge the God Realm and reform its gods and cultivation system. When they questioned whether he had the ability to succeed, he revealed four god-level soul bones, leaving them astonished.

• The Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King questioned how Mo Lin had learned so much about the ancient era, and he offered to let them experience his inner landscape.
• The Water Dragon King asked why Mo Lin wanted to counterattack the God Realm, and Mo Lin said its gods were greedy schemers unworthy of the name.
• Mo Lin told the Dragon Kings he wanted to create a better God Realm, restore soul beasts’ chance to become gods, and change the continent’s cultivation system.
• The Fire Dragon King said they could not risk their remaining divine consciousness without proof that Mo Lin could achieve his goals.
• Mo Lin revealed his four soul bones, and the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King realized that all four were god-level despite Mo Lin not being a god.

Mo Lin received the Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King’s divine power and Soul Bones, while learning that a fragment he found in the Heaven Dou Empire’s treasury had come from the Silver Dragon King. As the two Dragon Kings’ consciousnesses faded, Mo Lin’s Soul Bones began assimilating, and Little Qilin and Little Phoenix started to change.

• The Fire Dragon King and Water Dragon King agreed to sacrifice their remaining divine power to Mo Lin and formed new arm Soul Bones from their remains.
• Mo Lin showed the Dragon Kings a fragment from his Soul Tool, and the Water Dragon King identified it as a scale from the Silver Dragon King.
• The Dragon Kings infused the scale with fire and ice power, turning it into a token for a possible alliance with the Silver Dragon King.
• The Dragon Kings continued their sacrifice, and Mo Lin’s third soul absorbed their divine soul power as his martial soul neared a breakthrough.
• Mo Lin screamed as the four new Soul Bones fused with his existing four, and the Dragon Kings continued despite his pain.
• The Dragon Kings’ consciousnesses vanished, and Little Qilin and Little Phoenix entered the small world and began changing before Mo Lin.

Mo Lin awakened his Winged Dragon Martial Soul, which transformed his body and strengthened his other powers. He discovered that Qilin and Phoenix had grown through resonance and regarded him as their elder brother, but had yet to learn what resonance was.

• Mo Lin realized that absorbing Soul Bones was transforming his body into that of a Winged Dragon, though the dragonification faded after the bones were assimilated.
• Three days later, Mo Lin's third soul absorbed the remaining divine soul power of the two Dragon Kings, and he awakened the Winged Dragon Martial Soul.
• Mo Lin found that Winged Dragon's aura eclipsed Non-Aggression and the Asura Demon Sword, while Primordial Qi grew stronger and its first Soul Ring became ten-thousand-year grade.
• Mo Lin startled at the sight of the now enormous Qilin and Phoenix, then learned they could speak to him through telepathy.
• Qilin explained that he and Phoenix called Mo Lin Big Brother because his aura resembled their mother's and they believed he was her older child.

Mo Lin discovered that his Martial Soul resonated with the Qilin and Phoenix, then emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with them. His dragon roar alarmed powerful figures across the continent, prompting investigations as Qian Renxue’s plan neared a critical stage.

• The Qilin and Phoenix told Mo Lin that awakening his Winged Dragon Martial Soul had triggered their shared resonance and breakthroughs, and Mo Lin decided not to take the Dragon Kings’ other inheritances.
• Mo Lin left the well carrying the shrunken Qilin and Phoenix, and Qian Renxue asked about the powerful roars she had heard.
• The Qilin and Phoenix demonstrated that they could change size, and Mo Lin revealed that his own dragon roar had caused the third sound.
• Qian Renxue realized Mo Lin had three Martial Souls and likely could defeat her, though she insisted they would settle things in a proper fight.
• Bibi Dong sent Yue Guan and Ghost to investigate the roar, while Qian Daoliu told the worshippers that Snake Lance and Pufferfish should go to Heaven Dou City as Xue'er's plan approached a critical stage.

Mo Lin’s dragon roar drew little response from the human factions, but it reached the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Silver Dragon King. She ordered Di Tian to find the roar’s source, leaving him unsure which beast he could safely send.

• The Clear Sky Sect, Sea God Island, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect largely ignored Mo Lin’s dragon roar.
• Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Zi Ji heard the roar while cultivating near the Lake of Life, and Di Tian judged that it came from an exceptionally powerful soul beast.
• The Silver Dragon King revealed that the roar had penetrated her spatial isolation and carried a faint trace of divine power.
• The Silver Dragon King ordered Di Tian to locate the soul beast that had roared.
• Di Tian considered the other ferocious beasts and concluded that each was unsuitable or too endangered to send.

The Snow Empress reacted to a terrifying roar in the Far North, while five hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts on Soul Beast Island decided to set out together. Mo Lin brought Qian Renxue to a hidden cave to meet someone, where a lightning-wreathed hammer suddenly flew at them.

• Ice Bear King Xiaobai hid from a frightening roar, and the Snow Empress decided to seek out the Ice Empress and a giant.
• Five hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts discussed the roar and agreed to set off under their Big Brother's lead.
• Mo Lin brought Qian Renxue to a waterfall and opened a concealed stone door behind it.
• Mo Lin and Qian Renxue entered the cave together, leaving the Qilin Phoenix and Little Qilin outside to keep watch.
• A huge iron hammer crackling with lightning flew from the illuminated cave entrance toward Mo Lin and Qian Renxue.

Mo Lin stopped Tang Hao’s ambush and sent him crashing into a stone wall, protecting Qian Renxue. After they found Tang Hao badly crippled, Mo Lin confronted him and warned him that neither he nor Qian Renxue could be defeated in his current condition.

• Tang Hao attacked Qian Renxue with his Clear Sky Hammer, but Mo Lin blocked it with his dragonized hand.
• Mo Lin mocked Tang Hao’s weakened strength and hurled him into a stone wall, while Qian Renxue felt protected and grew more attached to him.
• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that they would go see her enemy, and she questioned how Tang Hao could have become so weak.
• Tang Hao pulled himself from the wall and, on seeing Mo Lin, struggled to believe the young soul master had stopped his attack so easily.
• Qian Renxue saw that Tang Hao had lost an arm and a leg, while Mo Lin warned him not to look for an opening because neither of them was someone he could match.

Mo Lin reclaimed Tang Hao’s Divine Slaughter’s Domain and left him barely alive after Qian Renxue struck him. He let Qian Renxue decide whether to kill Tang Hao, and she prepared to act.

• Tang Hao mocked Qian Renxue’s grandfather, and Mo Lin secretly let her break free and punch him unconscious.
• Mo Lin repaired Tang Hao just enough to keep him alive, then used Non-Aggression to frighten him with Divine Slaughter’s Domain.
• Mo Lin forcibly stripped Divine Slaughter’s Domain from Tang Hao and absorbed it into Non-Aggression, leaving Tang Hao in agony for over an hour.
• Tang Hao learned that Qian Renxue wanted his life, while Mo Lin told her she could act according to her wishes.
• Qian Renxue recovered with Mo Lin’s help, ignited golden flames in her hand, and turned toward the barely living Tang Hao.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue traveled west toward Sea God Island, growing closer as they discussed her revenge against Tang Hao. When a Soul King abducted their coachman, they suspected he was an evil soul master and considered how such practitioners could have emerged.

• Mo Lin took Qian Renxue west by carriage toward Sea God Island, leaving the Spirit Dolphins behind because the journey by sea would be too long and they were weak fighters.
• Qian Renxue thanked Mo Lin for helping her kill Tang Hao and worried that her personal vengeance might have harmed Spirit Hall’s interests.
• Mo Lin reassured Qian Renxue that he had other ways to reach his goals and joked that he feared a handsome rival might steal her away.
• Mo Lin and Qian Renxue sensed a Soul Master abducting their coachman, and Mo Lin used Wind Queen's Arcane Gate to discover the culprit was a Soul King.
• Qian Renxue suggested the Soul King might be an evil soul master, prompting Mo Lin to consider how such practitioners could arise even outside the Sun Moon Continent.
