Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yi humiliated Feng Qing'er, and Gu Qingyang identified him as the Xiao Clan’s young clan leader, making Jiu Feng back down. At the Primordial Ancient Path, a mysterious silver-haired youth carrying the bloodline auras of Hun Feng and Hun Yu appeared as blood-red chains subdued the beast tide.

• Xun'er reunited with Xiao Yi and led him and the others to the Primordial Ancient Path to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
• A fighter charged into the ancient path but fled from the beast tide, and blood-red chains then suppressed and killed the beasts at its entrance.
• A crimson and silver pillar struck the Ancient Domain Platform, and a silver-haired youth with the auras of Hun Feng and Hun Yu emerged and spoke of the beast tide.

Xiao Yi confronted Hun Yang, a Soul Clan prodigy with a divine-grade bloodline, before the Soul Clan passed through the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s beast tide unharmed. When Xiao Yi’s group entered the ancient path, he summoned the South Dragon King, whose Dragon-Phoenix power stopped the beasts and offered a way through.

• Gu Qingyang warned Xiao Yi that Hun Yang had a divine-grade Soul Clan bloodline and was likely more dangerous than Hun Feng and Hun Yu.
• Hun Yang invited Xiao Yi to join forces, but Xiao Yi refused, and Hun Yang led the Soul Clan into the ancient path.
• Xiao Yi warned Xun'er about Hun Yang, then led the Ancient Clan into the beast tide after the Soul Clan passed through it unharmed.
• The beast tide’s savage pressure and the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s malice overwhelmed many experts, while Gu Qingyang explained that ordinary bloodline suppression would not work.
• Xiao Yi summoned the South Dragon King, and its Dragon-Phoenix power caused the fierce beasts to stop and submit.

Xiao Yi and Hun Yang reached the Bodhi Ancient Tree, overcame its five Half Saint puppets, and were drawn into a spatial vortex that tested them with illusions. Xiao Yi’s Emperor Mark revealed the tree’s history and its struggle against the evil thought of the slain Dark Star Dou Di.

• Xiao Yi led his companions through the beast tide and reached the Bodhi Ancient Tree, where Hun Yang was waiting.
• Hun Yang let a Dou Zun approach the tree first, and its hidden power killed him before five high-tier Half Saint puppets emerged.
• Hun Yang destroyed three puppets and Xiao Yi consumed the other two with Heavenly Flames, then both raced toward the tree.
• A spatial vortex pulled Xiao Yi and Hun Yang in; Xiao Yi saw illusions of Hun Feng and the wounded Xiao Xuan before his Emperor Mark illuminated the truth.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree recounted how it and a mysterious Dou Di had killed the Dark Star Dou Di, whose final evil thought damaged its essence and split its consciousness into good and evil wills.

Xiao Yi used the Primordial Bodhi Seeds and Emperor Xiao’s inheritance to cleanse the evil consciousness tormenting the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which rewarded him with a Bodhi Dao Sprout and a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation. As Xiao Yi underwent his fortune, Hun Yang attacked him, and Xun'er could not stop the Four-Star Dou Saint.

• The Bodhi Ancient Tree revealed that Xiao Yi’s clan had saved it before and asked him to cleanse the evil consciousness left by Dark Star Dou Di.
• Xiao Yi used twenty-four Primordial Bodhi Seeds, his Dou Qi, and Emperor Xiao’s inheritance to destroy the evil consciousness and restore the tree’s vitality.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree granted Xiao Yi a Bodhi Dao Sprout, which nourished his soul and Dou Qi and gave him a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation.

• Hun Yang decided the Soul Clan would claim what it could not obtain for itself and charged at Xiao Yi while he was still comprehending.
• Hun Yang’s presence froze Xun'er in place, and he reached Xiao Yi and roared that he would die.

After completing a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, Xiao Yi reached Three-Star Dou Saint and Heaven Realm Great Perfection, then faced Hun Yang over the Bodhi Seeds. Hun Yang attacked with a powerful soul flame, and Xiao Yi sent the Northern King puppet to meet it.

• The Bodhi Ancient Tree shielded Xiao Yi from Hun Yang while Xiao Yi endured the cycle of a hundred lives and gained insight into the path to the Dou Emperor realm.
• Xiao Yi awakened, rose to Three-Star Dou Saint and Heaven Realm Great Perfection, and emerged with countless Bodhi Seeds revolving around him.

• Hun Yang threatened Xiao Yi and attacked Gu Qingyang, but Xiao Yi rescued Gu Qingyang and told him to withdraw with Xun'er.
• Xiao Yi summoned three Dou Saint-level puppets, and Hun Yang launched his Blood Soul Burning Heaven attack at the Northern King puppet.
• Xiao Yi sent a ripple of soul power into the Northern King puppet's brow as the attack approached.

Xiao Yi fought Hun Yang with three Ancient Void Dragon puppets, but Hun Yang’s twin-meridian techniques overwhelmed them and forced Xiao Yi to recall them. As Hun Yang advanced on Xiao Yi and Xun’er’s attempt to summon clan reinforcements failed, Xiao Yi activated his Emperor Mark and the battle continued.

• Xiao Yi sent the Southern and Western King puppets to attack Hun Yang, but Hun Yang’s Twin Meridians Soul Barrier blocked their strikes.
• Hun Yang summoned a soul dragon, which the Northern King puppet shielded against while the Southern King puppet pierced and destroyed it.
• Hun Yang unleashed Twin Meridians: Soul Prison, raising his aura to early six-star Dou Saint and trapping Xiao Yi and the puppets.
• Hun Yang’s chains pierced the three puppets and began devouring Xiao Yi’s soul power, so Xiao Yi recalled them before Hun Yang could seize control.
• Xun’er tried to return to help Xiao Yi, but Gu Qingyang urged her to seek clan reinforcements; her spatial jade token failed to respond.
• Hun Yang advanced on Xiao Yi, who lit the Emperor Mark between his brows and prepared to fight him directly.

Xiao Yi fought Hun Yang with his ice-based Dou Skills, then froze the battlefield and prepared to finish him with the Emperor Might Judgment Seal. Hun Shengtian intervened, but Xiao Xuan emerged from the jade tablet and confronted the Soul Clan elder, who had once died at Xiao Xuan’s hands.

• Xiao Yi used Heavenly Cold Finger and Heavenly Cold Palm against Hun Yang, but Hun Yang’s Twin Souls: Devouring Sky Python and Twin Meridians: Annihilation Kill pushed him into a disadvantage.
• Xiao Yi unleashed Heavenly Cold Refining Seal Art, freezing the wasteland and sealing Hun Yang’s bloodline power and Dou Qi.
• Xiao Yi formed the Emperor Might Judgment Seal, but Hun Shengtian appeared, dispelled the ice and made the seal vanish before it could kill Hun Yang.
• Xiao Xuan’s jade tablet shattered and released an energy vortex, from which Xiao Xuan emerged and knocked away Hun Shengtian’s black Qi with a palm strike.
• Hun Shengtian and Hun Yang recognized Xiao Xuan, and Hun Shengtian panicked as Xiao Yi learned that the Soul Clan had revived him as a living dead man after Xiao Xuan killed him a thousand years earlier.

Xiao Xuan defeated Hun Shengtian and killed him after he sent Hun Yang back to the Soul Realm. Hun Tiandi punished Hun Yang for failing to obtain the Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Seed, forcibly stripping away his two divine-grade bloodlines.

• Hun Shengtian used the Dead Silence Gate against Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Xuan shattered it and wounded him.
• Xiao Xuan pursued Hun Shengtian and pierced his chest with a giant battle-qi hand.
• Hun Shengtian sent Hun Yang to the Soul Realm before Xiao Xuan annihilated him and the Dead Silence Gate.
• Hun Tiandi confronted Hun Yang over his failure and Hun Shengtian's death, then began stripping Hun Yang of his two divine-grade bloodlines.

Hun Tiandi stripped Hun Yang of his divine-grade bloodlines and fused them into his hidden son, Hun Linyuan, before sending him to prove himself against Xiao Yi. Back in the Xiao Realm, Xiao Xuan praised Xiao Yi’s advancement but worried that Hun Tiandi’s concealed strength and growing ambitions left too little time for Xiao Yi to reach the Dou Emperor realm.

• Hun Tiandi killed Hun Yang and took his two divine-grade bloodlines.
• Hun Tiandi fused the bloodlines into Hun Linyuan, whose power rose as his Netherflame Divine Blood transformed, then told him to prove himself as a candidate for young clan leader.
• Hun Linyuan left to act, and Nihility Devouring Flame questioned Hun Tiandi about sending his son against Xiao Yi; Hun Tiandi insisted Linyuan would prevail and affirmed his imperial ambition.
• Xun'er and the Ancient Clan members returned to the Ancient Realm while Xiao Yi and Xiao Yan went back to the Xiao Realm with Xiao Xuan.
• Xiao Xuan learned that Xiao Yi had reached early-stage three-star Dou Saint after receiving guidance from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and explained the significance of the source energy needed to become a Dou Emperor.
• Xiao Xuan feared Xiao Yi might not have enough time, suspecting Hun Tiandi had secretly refined the Soul Clan's Four Elders and concealed the clan's strength while the other ancient clans remained unaware.

Xiao Yi reassured Xiao Xuan about the Soul Clan before bringing Elder Shennong a Bodhi Heart to make the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill. Elder Shennong warned that the untested pill might fail or harm Xiao Xuan, but Xiao Yi remained determined to help his ancestor recover.

• Xiao Yi told Xiao Xuan that the Soul Clan would hesitate to act while the Xiao Clan and Ancient Clan stood against it, and that Xiao Xuan could deter them if he regained his peak strength.
• Xiao Yi visited Elder Shennong, who praised his three-star Dou Saint cultivation and Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul.
• Xiao Yi presented Elder Shennong with more than a dozen Bodhi Seeds and a Bodhi Heart, the key ingredient for the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill.
• Elder Shennong said he had the pill formula and supplementary ingredients but had never refined the ninth-tier Mystic Pill and could not guarantee it would restore Xiao Xuan's incomplete soul origin.
• Xiao Yi explained that Xiao Xuan had protected him and the Xiao Clan, and said he had been searching for a way to help his ancestor since his revival.

Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong began refining a Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill, relying on the Nine-Turn Soul-Pattern Formation to channel the energy needed for the tier-nine mysterious pill. The formation drained the land within a thousand miles, and Xiao Yi struggled with its immense soul-power consumption as the refining began.

• Xiao Yi persuaded Elder Shennong to help attempt the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill and learned they needed a Nine-Turn Soul-Pattern Formation.
• Xiao Yi set up the formation in the Xiao Realm using ninety-nine Star Soul Jades and completed its nine turns.
• Elder Shennong brought out the Shennong Hundred Herbs Cauldron, and he and Xiao Yi prepared their flames and ingredients for the pill.
• Elder Shennong added the soul-type ingredients to the cauldron while Xiao Yi activated the formation to draw spiritual energy from a thousand miles away.
• The formation drained the surrounding land and spiritual veins, leaving a wasteland as Xiao Yi felt the refining consume far more soul power than he expected.

Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong refined the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill, enduring a dangerous clash of medicinal powers before forming its embryonic pill. Its birth summoned the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, leaving the pill’s tribulation ahead.

• Xiao Yi joined Elder Shennong in refining the pill, using their perfected Heaven Realm soul power to combine the ingredients and nine Nine-Aperture Soul Crystals over half a month.
• Xiao Yi added the Bodhi Heart, but its origin power clashed with the other ingredients and threatened to make the medicinal liquid explode.
• Elder Shennong used his blood essence and Life Spirit Flame to suppress the liquid, while Xiao Yi sacrificed blood essence to activate his Heavenly Flame and force the ingredients to fuse.
• Xiao Yi added the Reincarnation Flower, whose runes calmed the medicinal powers and helped form the emerald-green embryonic pill.
• The embryonic pill summoned the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, and Elder Shennong recognized the extraordinary pill tribulation.

Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong completed the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill after Xiao Yi’s puppets sacrificed themselves to block three bolts of Nine Profound Golden Lightning. Xiao Xuan swallowed the pill to repair his damaged soul origin, and its power began healing the cracks.

• Nine Profound Golden Lightning struck the pill refinement, and Xiao Yi deployed three Dragon Island puppets to protect the cauldron while Elder Shennong stabilized the formation.
• The three puppets blocked the third lightning bolt and were destroyed, allowing Xiao Yi and Elder Shennong to complete the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill.
• Xiao Yi presented the pill to Xiao Xuan, who learned it had been refined to restore his damaged soul foundation.
• Xiao Xuan swallowed the pill, and its medicinal power began mending the cracks in his soul origin.

Xiao Xuan used the Bodhi Soul-Returning Pill to restore his soul and return to his Half Emperor peak, while Xiao Yi learned that the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame would appear in one year. Xiao Yi was given a plan to prepare for the Flame’s arrival, and Xiao Xuan recalled how Xiao Chen disappeared after pursuing it a thousand years earlier.

• Xiao Xuan recalled that Xiao Chen had vanished while seeking the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame a thousand years earlier and had never returned, even when the Xiao Clan faced calamity.

Xiao Yi traveled with Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Qing Lin to the Nine Serene Yellow Springs to search for the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal and the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s inheritance. He found the imprisoned Yao Ming, who offered the Blood Crystal in exchange for help escaping, while Xiao Yan and the others were discovered by the tribe above.

• Xiao Xuan told Xiao Yi to investigate Xiao Chen’s whereabouts and authorized him to use a spatial jade token for protection; he also suggested bringing Xiao Yan and Medusa so Medusa could cultivate in the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.
• Xiao Yi set out with Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Qing Lin, and Qing Lin’s Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils helped them locate the Nine Serene Yellow Springs within the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python territory.
• Xiao Yi told Xiao Yan to protect Medusa, then descended into the Yellow Springs behind a barrier of Voidfall Heavenburning Flame to search for the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal.
• Xiao Yi heard someone call for help and found Yao Ming chained to a dark stone, where the chains drained his Dou Qi and filled him with frigid power.
• Yao Ming offered Xiao Yi the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal if he freed him, but Xiao Yi questioned the risk and challenged his claim to be clan chief because Yao Xiaotian currently held that title.

Xiao Yi freed Yao Ming from the Yellow Springs Chains and received the Yellow Springs Blood Crystal. He arrived in time to stop Yao Xiaotian from taking Medusa’s bloodline, and attacked him after learning Xiao Yan had been injured.

• Yao Ming confronted Yao Xiaotian about his betrayal, while Xiao Yi attacked him in fury over Xiao Yan’s injuries and revealed his three-star Dou Saint strength.

Xiao Yi overpowered Yao Xiaotian with his peak Heavenly Realm soul and defeated his Yellow Springs Finger with Heavenly Cold Finger. When Yao Ming asked to settle his own grievance with Yao Xiaotian, the Grand Elder intervened and joined Yao Xiaotian against Xiao Yi, leaving their confrontation poised to escalate.

• A streak of light rescued Yao Xiaotian from the ice, and he joined forces with the Grand Elder of the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe.
• Xiao Yi told Yao Ming to protect his brother and friend, then faced Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder as they threatened him with the Yellow Springs Grand Seal.

Xiao Yi destroyed Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder’s Yellow Springs Grand Seal with his Three Spirits Shatter Annihilation, leaving both badly wounded. Yao Ming revealed himself, reclaimed the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe’s authority, and began punishing Yao Xiaotian.

• Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder joined forces to unleash the Yellow Springs Grand Seal against Xiao Yi.
• Xiao Yi used Three Spirits Shatter Annihilation to shatter the seal and strike down Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder.
• Yao Xiaotian ordered the arriving tribesmen to form the Myriad Snake Formation, but Yao Ming stepped in and told Xiao Yi to leave the rest to him.
• Yao Ming revealed his identity to the tribe, while Yao Xiaotian claimed he was an impostor and urged the tribesmen to attack.
• Yao Ming’s recovered strength convinced the tribesmen of who he was, and he smashed Yao Xiaotian into the Yellow Springs Netherstone and stomped on his chest.

Yao Ming killed Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder, reclaimed leadership of the Nine Serene Ground Python clan, and offered Xiao Yi access to the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s legacy in repayment for his help. Xiao Yi accepted and prepared to enter the Yellow Springs Stone Stele, where the Demon Saint’s approval guarded the most powerful technique and essence blood.

• Xiao Yi accepted Yao Ming’s offer and agreed to try to obtain the Demon Saint’s legacy and essence blood.

Xiao Yi entered the Yellow Springs Stone Stele to seek the Yellow Springs Demon Saint’s inheritance and endured the remnant soul’s overwhelming Emperor Realm pressure. After trading blows with the Demon Saint, Xiao Yi faced the high-tier soul technique Yellow Springs Heavenly Fury.

• Xiao Yi’s first attempt to touch the stele was halted by its soul pressure, and Yao Ming warned him that he had once been badly injured trying to open it.
