Chapter Summaries

Jun Xuehan and Gu Yuena discussed her recovery and Qiu'er’s safety before absorbing the Mountain Dragon King’s Divine Core together. After refining a dozen threads of divine power, Jun Xuehan’s Divine Seed and Soul Bones improved, forming most of a silver battle armor that still lacked a Torso Bone.

• Gu Yuena said the Divine Core could speed her recovery, which would still take up to a thousand years, and accepted it from Jun Xuehan.
