Chapter Summaries

Mo Lin infiltrated the deeper treasury using a Scout Flying Bug and found three treasures he wanted to take. He postponed the heist for a few months, then came up with another plan to appease Mo Ning.

• Mo Lin entered the treasury and dismissed a large silver shield as impractical before asking Elder Ming to show him restorative medicines.
• Mo Lin used the medicine as an excuse to leave while his Scout Flying Bug slipped into the treasury’s restricted depths.
• Mo Lin watched the deeper treasury through goggles and identified the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, a pair of External Soul Bones, and a mysterious crystal fragment as treasures he wanted.
• Mo Ning asked whether they would rob the treasury that night, but Mo Lin insisted they wait a few months to avoid suspicion.
• Mo Ning complained that Mo Lin had kept him from causing trouble, and Mo Lin admitted he had been inconsiderate before promising him a plan that would satisfy him.

Mo Lin sent Mo Ning to frighten Xue Beng with a series of hauntings, while Xue Beng feared the prankster had discovered his true nature. The chapter left Xue Beng arriving at the palace as Mo Lin spun Xue Ye a long, evasive tale about his romantic past.

• Mo Lin decided to target Xue Beng and gave Mo Ning Scout Flying Bugs and a Devouring Pouch full of dolls for the pranks.
• Mo Ning haunted Xue Beng’s residence, frightening its staff and residents throughout the night.
• Xue Beng suspected someone had learned he was pretending to be a debauched young master and hurried to the palace to request more protection.
• Mo Lin told Xue Ye an elaborate story about falling in love ten years earlier, avoiding the woman’s name and background.
• Xue Beng entered the main hall while Mo Lin was speaking with Xue Ye.

Xue Beng asked Emperor Xue Ye to punish the person who had frightened people at his residence, while Mo Lin, posing as Xue Qinghe, advised against a public wanted notice and recommended extra guards. Xue Ye left the matter in Mo Lin’s hands, but Mo Lin suggested that Xue Beng choose his own guards, leaving Xue Ye’s motives uncertain.

• Xue Beng entered the main hall and told Xue Ye that someone had provoked the imperial family by frightening people at his residence.
• Xue Beng requested more guards and a citywide wanted notice, but Xue Ye noted that there were no useful identifying details or serious damages to report.
• Mo Lin advised Xue Ye to inform imperial relatives and ministers and to assign Xue Beng additional soul masters and elite palace guards.
• Xue Ye put Mo Lin in charge of the matter, making Xue Beng fear that Mo Lin’s guards would monitor him.
• Mo Lin wondered whether Xue Ye was testing him and suggested that Xue Beng handle the matter himself and select his own guards.

Xue Ye used the incident at Xue Beng's residence to test whether Mo Lin, disguised as Xue Qinghe, would target his younger brother, while considering changing the succession. Mo Lin handed the matter to Xue Beng and returned to the Crown Prince's residence, where Qian Renxue asked about his disguise and his plans for her next soul ring.

• Xue Ye considered naming Xue Beng crown prince if Xue Qinghe tried to use the incident to kill him, but planned to keep Xue Qinghe as heir if he showed restraint.
• Mo Lin gave Xue Beng full authority to handle the incident at his residence, reassuring Xue Ye while making Xue Beng more suspicious.
• Xue Beng accepted the assignment and left the main hall, and Mo Lin soon departed as well.
• Qian Renxue pulled Mo Lin into a room and asked whether he had exposed himself while meeting Xue Ye as Xue Qinghe.
• Mo Lin reassured Qian Renxue and asked what she would do when she reached level 80 without a soul ring; she wondered whether delaying the ring would be acceptable.

Mo Lin promised Qian Renxue that he would provide her with a hundred-thousand-year eighth soul ring, while the Mo siblings established themselves in Heaven Dou City. The Asura Demon Sword then reported that Tang San had emerged from Slaughter City, leaving Mo Lin to decide how to deal with him.

• Mo Lin promised Qian Renxue a hundred-thousand-year eighth soul ring, and she agreed to trust him for now.
• Xue Ye increasingly assigned Mo Lin government work, while Mo Ning's pranks drove Xue Beng into seclusion.
• Mo Min studied at Moonlight Pavilion, where her growing reputation drew Tang Yuehua's attention.
• Mo Lin used his Xue Qinghe identity to discourage Tang Yuehua's schemes and boost Mo Min's standing.
• The Asura Demon Sword told Mo Lin that Tang San had emerged from Slaughter City after four years, and Mo Lin responded with a knowing smile.

Tang San left Slaughter City after completing the Hell Slaughter Arena, but Tang Hao judged him too arrogant and said he was not yet ready to learn the truth of the past. In Heaven Dou City, Mo Lin prepared to take Mo Ning to Moonlight Pavilion to observe their enemies and plan revenge on the Clear Sky Sect.

• Tang San completed one hundred victories and passed through Hell Road with little difficulty before leaving Slaughter City with a weak Divine Slaughter's Domain.
• Tang Hao reunited with Tang San, explained the effects of Divine Slaughter's Domain, and refused to tell him what had happened in the past.
• Tang Hao rebuked Tang San for his pride, then said he would take him somewhere to shed his superficial brilliance before revealing the truth.
• Ten days later, Mo Lin used Made in Heaven to finish his official work quickly and learned that Mo Min had gone to Moonlight Pavilion.
• Mo Lin invited Mo Ning to Moonlight Pavilion to observe their enemies, including a Titled Douluo, and said they would take revenge on the Clear Sky Sect within a year.

Tang San and Tang Hao forced their way into Moonlight Pavilion, where Mo Lin and Mo Min intervened before Tang San could kill the steward. Mo Lin questioned Tang Hao and Tang San about their visit and family, and the chapter ended as a woman upstairs asked whether the disturbance had been resolved.

• Tang San broke the arms of two guards and attacked the purple-clad steward with his Blue Silver Emperor vines.
• Mo Lin and Mo Min arrived and fired soul-power arrows that severed the vines and stopped the fight from turning deadly.
• The people in Moonlight Pavilion recognized Mo Lin in Xue Qinghe's appearance as Crown Prince, and the steward cleared the hall.
• Mo Lin asked Tang Hao if he had come to visit family, then remarked that Tang Hao appeared to have two outstanding sons.
• Tang San pretended not to know he had a brother, and a woman's voice from upstairs asked Xiao Min whether everything downstairs had been resolved.

Tang Hao reunited with Tang Yuehua at Moonlight Pavilion, while Tang San reconsidered his resentment toward his aunt and agreed to study with her. Tang Hao then took Mo Lin outside Heaven Dou City to speak with him alone.

• Tang Yuehua recognized Tang Hao’s passphrase and hurried downstairs to embrace him, while Tang San reacted with suspicion.
• Mo Lin explained to Tang San that Tang Yuehua was family, and Tang San concealed his resentment toward the Clear Sky Sect.
• Tang Hao asked Mo Lin to stay for a private conversation, then left Moonlight Pavilion with him after sending Mo Ning and Mo Min back to the palace.
• Tang San stopped Tang Yuehua from searching for Tang Hao and agreed to follow his father’s instructions to study at Moonlight Pavilion for a year.
• Tang Yuehua told Tang San she would teach him noble etiquette and music, while Tang Hao led Mo Lin to an empty forest outside Heaven Dou City.

Mo Lin accepted Tang Hao’s letter for Xiao Wu and followed him to discover his secluded residence. He returned to the Crown Prince’s palace, where Qian Renxue and the two little creatures had been waiting for him.

• Tang Hao asked Xue Qinghe (Mo Lin) to deliver a letter to Xiao Wu at Shrek Academy, hoping to secure protection for Tang San.
• Mo Lin realized Tang Hao wanted Tang San to owe the Heaven Dou Empire a favor and accepted the letter.
• Tang Hao left, and Mo Lin secretly followed him to a waterfall that marked his secluded residence.
• Mo Lin used Grand Luo Insight to return to the Crown Prince’s palace, where Qian Renxue and the little creatures greeted him.

Mo Lin discussed the two unusual little fellows with Qian Renxue, who revealed that her plan to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire had cost her years of cultivation. He considered how Spirit Hall could have destabilized both empires without relying on that plan, leaving the conversation focused on his strategic alternatives.

• Qian Renxue told Mo Lin that he had been gone for two days and one night, and Mo Lin asked the Space-Evading Mantis to estimate the travel time to Tang Hao's hiding place.
• Qian Renxue asked where the two intelligent, apparently powerless little fellows came from, and Mo Lin promised to take her to their birthplace when she reached level 80.
• Qian Renxue asked Mo Lin for more ways to speed up her cultivation, saying his method had not made up for the time she had lost.
• Qian Renxue blamed Bibi Dong's ambitions and their strained relationship for prompting her to propose the plan to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire and leave Spirit City.
• Mo Lin reasoned that Spirit Hall could have provoked chaos in both empires through assassinations and political upheaval, then used the resulting disorder to seize power.

Mo Lin used acupuncture to accelerate Qian Renxue’s cultivation and discovered that she was close to forming a core. He then delivered Tang Hao’s letter to Xiao Wu, who rushed to read it, leaving its contents unrevealed.

• Mo Lin used steel needles to speed up Qian Renxue’s Soul Power circulation overnight, and she woke feeling her cultivation had advanced greatly.
• Mo Lin warned Qian Renxue that prolonged assisted cultivation could damage her body and potential, then told her that the Soul Power gathering inside her was a good sign.
• Xiao Wu waited at Shrek Academy for Tang San’s return until Liu Erlong told her that Xue Qinghe had brought a letter from Tang Hao.
• Xiao Wu ran to the reception room, snatched the letter from Mo Lin, and finished reading it five minutes later.

Mo Lin delivered Tang San’s letter to Xiao Wu at Shrek Academy, where her disappointment at their continued separation left Liu Erlong’s poor manners to be smoothed over by Flender. Flender then tried to win Crown Prince Xue Qinghe’s support for Shrek Academy by describing the obstacles it faced, leaving Mo Lin to hear his pitch.

• Mo Lin delivered Tang San’s letter, and Xiao Wu learned that Tang San could not return for another year.
• Xiao Wu left in disappointment, and Liu Erlong hurried after her while Mo Lin prepared to leave.
• Flender caught up with Mo Lin and apologized for Liu Erlong’s behavior, then invited him to stay for tea.
• Flender made small talk with Mo Lin and tried to discover what favors might help secure a deal with him.
• Flender praised Shrek Academy’s past tournament success and complained that bureaucratic obstacles prevented it from getting resources and improving its students’ education.

Mo Lin used Flender’s criticism of the empire to turn Xue Ye against Shrek Academy, while five of Shrek’s teachers abruptly resigned and disappeared. He also learned that Dugu Yan would return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Yu Tianheng, but Yu Tianheng’s former teammates remained uncertain about joining.

• Mo Lin accepted Flender’s proposal to help Shrek, then sent Xue Ye a report that recast Flender’s remarks as harsh criticism of the empire.
• Liu Erlong showed Flender five resignation letters from former Blue Tyrant Academy teachers, who had vanished from the academy overnight.
• Mo Ning told Mo Lin that Dugu Yan had agreed to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Yu Tianheng, while Yu Tianheng’s former teammates hesitated to follow.
• Mo Lin told Mo Ning that Yu Tianheng could reveal the Mo Family’s plans to his friends, but warned him not to blame Mo Lin if they refused.
• Mo Lin told Mo Ning to urge Yu Tianheng not to rush, since joining the clan before its revenge began would mean more than joining after it displayed its strength.

After Qian Renxue secretly overheard Mo Lin discussing his ties to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he decided to reveal much of his hidden history and plans to her. He left out the Asura Demon Sword and Winged Dragon inheritance, then began hinting at an idea for which he thought Qian Renxue was especially suited.

• Qian Renxue emerged from behind the study screen and questioned Mo Lin about his relationship with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
• Mo Lin chose to tell Qian Renxue about his secret plans because the new Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's revenge against the Clear Sky Sect was already difficult to conceal.
• Mo Lin recounted his background and plans, beginning with his actions at age seven, while Qian Renxue listened and was shocked by his tangled connections.
• Qian Renxue decided she had learned enough, but Mo Lin continued and said he had an idea for which she seemed especially suitable.

Mo Lin explained to Qian Renxue why he had once considered killing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over Yu Xiaogang’s treatment of Bibi Dong, and why he had spared the clan and Yu Xiaogang. He hinted that someone other than Yu Xiaogang had caused Bibi Dong the greatest harm, leaving Qian Renxue unsettled and directing her to ask her grandfather for the details.

• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue he had considered slaughtering the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan because he believed Yu Xiaogang had broken Bibi Dong’s heart.
• Qian Renxue reasoned that Yu Xiaogang’s claim to have used Bibi Dong without loving her made little sense, and Mo Lin agreed that believing it showed extreme self-centeredness.
• Mo Lin said he spared the clan because its members had not harmed him, Yu Yuanzhen was family, and he had no right to kill them.
• Mo Lin explained that he returned Yu Xiaogang to the clan because he feared killing him would hurt Bibi Dong or provoke her to attack the clan.
• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that Yu Xiaogang was not the person who had caused Bibi Dong the greatest harm, then suggested she ask her grandfather why Bibi Dong had lied to Yu Xiaogang.

Mo Lin told Qian Renxue some of the reasons behind Bibi Dong’s treatment of her, leaving Qian Renxue shaken and determined to learn the truth. After two months of cultivation, Qian Renxue reached level 80, and Mo Lin brought her to Soul Beast Island to obtain a soul ring.

• Mo Lin reflected on his wish to help both Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and on his plan to spare Yu Xiaogang as long as he stayed away from Bibi Dong.
• Mo Lin shared some details about Bibi Dong with Qian Renxue while withholding the most sensitive truth, and Qian Renxue spent the day pondering his words.
• Two months later, Qian Renxue reached level 80, so Mo Lin prepared to take her to obtain a soul ring.
• Mo Lin used Grand Luo Insight with the Space-Evading Mantis possessing him to transport Qian Renxue, Little Qilin, and Little Phoenix to Soul Beast Island.

Mo Lin brought Qian Renxue to Soul Beast Island and explained the benefits of soul beast sacrifices, revealing that he had experienced one himself. He began to explain how sacrifices could benefit soul beasts, leaving Qian Renxue waiting to learn how she could obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

• Mo Lin took Qian Renxue to Soul Beast Island, where she felt divine pressure from the Winged Dragon statue.
• Mo Lin hurried Qian Renxue along, reminding her that her absence from the Crown Prince's residence could cause trouble.
• Qian Renxue described what she knew about soul beast sacrifices, and Mo Lin said they offered additional benefits Spirit Hall had not recorded.
• Mo Lin summoned his martial soul and showed Qian Renxue his two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, then explained how sacrifices could bypass ordinary absorption limits and heal injuries.
• Qian Renxue questioned why a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would sacrifice itself for her, and Mo Lin began to explain the benefits sacrifices offered to soul beasts.

Mo Lin explained to Qian Renxue the three paths available to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and why one might sacrifice itself to a soul master destined to become a god. He then searched the island for a suitable light- and fire-attributed soul beast and encountered a giant crow at the mountain summit.

• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could take human form, continue cultivating in their original forms, or sacrifice themselves in hopes of being revived as divine beasts.
• Qian Renxue understood that a hundred-thousand-year soul beast nearing the end of its thousand-year limit might be willing to sacrifice itself to her.
• Mo Lin left Little Qilin and Little Phoenix with Qian Renxue and went to search the island for a suitable soul beast.
• Mo Lin sensed intense heat on a mountain summit, unleashed the Winged Dragon Domain, and waited for the nearby soul beast to appear.
• A nearly ten-meter-tall golden-black crow greeted Mo Lin, and he recognized her as a One-Legged Golden Crow.

Mo Lin found a One-Legged Golden Crow whose life had been saved and bloodline transformed by Tianyuan Winged Dragon Gengchen, and secured her agreement to sacrifice herself for Qian Renxue. The sacrifice began as the Golden Crow judged Qian Renxue to be a fitting soul master with strong divine potential.

• The One-Legged Golden Crow explained that Gengchen had transformed her from a wounded Fire-Feather Crow, though her missing leg left her bloodline incomplete and her cultivation near its limit.
• Mo Lin asked whether the Golden Crow knew of other beasts blessed by Gengchen, but she could not identify them.
• The One-Legged Golden Crow agreed to sacrifice herself, saying she owed her life to Gengchen and had few prospects for extending it further.
• Mo Lin brought the Golden Crow to Qian Renxue, who trembled under the beast's pressure until Mo Lin steadied her with his Soul Power.
• Qian Renxue insisted they proceed, and the One-Legged Golden Crow began her sacrifice, filling the area with crimson light.

Qian Renxue absorbed the One-Legged Golden Crow's sacrifice, and her Angel Martial Soul evolved as she gained a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and golden armor. Her Martial Soul stopped after growing a fifth pair of wings, leaving Mo Lin to wonder how far her future divine power could advance.

• Qian Renxue absorbed the Golden Crow's Soul Power safely, helped by Mo Lin's earlier acupuncture and her compatibility with the beast.
• Qian Renxue sensed Soul Power condensing into a sphere within her body and entered Martial Soul Possession.
• Mo Lin watched Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel grow additional pairs of wings as its sacred aura spread across Soul Beast Island.
• The Heaven-Devouring Titan Python and the Space-Evading Mantis argued with Mo Lin when he complained that their sacrifices had not evolved his Martial Soul.
• The Asura Demon Sword said Qian Renxue might have reached God King-level combat power with a more complete Golden Crow bloodline, but her Martial Soul stopped at ten wings.
• Qian Renxue received a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and ornate golden armor engraved with a Golden Crow.
