Chapter Summary: “Dragon Transformation”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• His immense vitality and blood have begun to resemble a blood dragon and show signs of naturally transforming into astral force. However, advancing into the Gang Realm proves difficult because his enormous reserves require far more pure-yang energy than ordinary treasures can provide.
• Su Bo explains the three stages of Gang Realm cultivation:
  1. Refining blood into astral force through pure-yang energy.
  2. Refining qi into astral force by combining pure-yin qi with blood astral force.
  3. Refining the spirit into astral force by merging yin-yang astral forces into the soul.

Chapter Summary: “Pure Yang”

• Over two days, Yi You converts 30% of his blood and qi into Pure-Yang Blood Astral Force, while Liu Yue reaches slightly above 20%.

• Su Bo becomes increasingly frustrated by his slower visible progress. However, his slower advancement stems from the extraordinary scale of his foundation and blood-and-qi reserves, emphasizing that his potential is far greater than his current percentage suggests.
• Su Bo’s physical power is shown to be difficult to control: his internal blood-and-qi dragon and Bixi Divine Form nearly overwhelm his judgment when exposed to the secret land’s energy.
