Chapter Summaries

Han Tao realized that Bodhi Blood could be the foundation of a bloodline system, but he still needed to learn how to use it and planned to seek out Tang San. Meanwhile, Tang San collapsed during Yu Xiaogang’s training plan, allowing the Man-Faced Demon Spider King to drain his life force as Tang Hao struggled to stop it without harming him further.

• Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling worried that Han Tao’s research could not overcome the Mental Power barrier to reaching Soul Sage, but Han Tao argued that their work had already begun exploring Mental End power.
• Han Tao connected the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eyes, and Bodhi Blood to a possible system for extracting and absorbing bloodlines, then decided to find Tang San again.
• Tang San practiced the Clear Sky Nine Wonders for three days and nights under Yu Xiaogang’s instructions until he collapsed from exhaustion.
• The Man-Faced Demon Spider King emerged from Tang San’s Soul Bone and began draining his life force, while Yu Xiaogang’s attack failed to stop it.
• Tang Hao drove Yu Xiaogang aside and used Soul Power Suppression and Killing Intent to force the spider threads back, but Yu Xiaogang warned that the force could badly damage Tang San’s body.

Tang San tried to recover using his Innate Soul Power, but the Man-Faced Demon Spider King seized control and corrupted it, downgrading two of his Clear Sky Hammer soul rings. Tang San regained control with his Innate Soul Power gone and his body damaged, and he vowed to slaughter all evil Soul Beasts.

• Yu Xiaogang woke Tang San and urged him to use his Innate Soul Power to heal his body.
• Tang San began cultivating the Advanced Distraction Control Method while the Man-Faced Demon Spider King took control of his body and invaded his spirit power.
• The Jade Phosphor Snake King poisoned Tang San, helping the Demon Spider Soul Power seize his Innate Soul Power.
• The Man-Faced Demon Spider King used Tang San's Innate Soul Power to downgrade two soul rings on the Clear Sky Hammer before Tang San and Tang Hao stopped it from changing the third.
• Tang San discovered that his Innate Soul Power was gone and his meridians were still damaged, then cursed the Soul Beasts and swore to slaughter them.

Tang San suffered severe injuries after the plan went wrong, and Tang Bai treated his Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom but could not repair the damage to his meridians. Yu Xiaogang claimed Ye Junlan could heal him, leaving Tang San and Tang Hao to rely on that hope.

• Tang Hao threatened Yu Xiaogang over the failed plan, but Tang San stopped him from assigning blame and Yu Xiaogang warned that Tang San must stay awake.
• Tang Bai diagnosed Tang San with Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom and used powdered Cockscomb Stone to dilute the poison.
• Tang Bai said Tang San’s damaged meridians could not be healed with herbs, and Tang Hao sent the Clear Sky Sect disciples away after Yu Xiaogang insulted him.
• Yu Xiaogang said that Ye Junlan, a Nine Heart Begonia soul master, could heal Tang San.

Tang Hao brought Tang San to Ye Junlan for treatment, but she could not repair his damaged meridians. Tang Hao threatened her into healing Tang San’s other injuries, while Flender was turned away and Yu Xiaogang mocked him.

• Tang Hao had Tang San use his Head Soul Bone to weave a spiderweb as part of their cultivation plan.
• Tang Hao demanded Flender’s place in Ye Junlan’s appointment line, and Yu Xiaogang reported him as an escaped prisoner before soldiers confirmed his identity.
• Tang Hao ushered Tang San into the clinic while Flender remained outside, and Yu Xiaogang dismissed his former friend as unimportant.
• Ye Junlan examined Tang San and said she could not heal his damaged meridians, though she could treat his muscles, skin, and bones.
• Tang Hao smashed the clinic’s table, threatened Ye Junlan, and forced her to heal Tang San’s other injuries as his Killing Intent injured people waiting outside.

Tang San accused Ye Junlan of hiding a way to heal meridians, then crippled her before leaving with Tang Hao to test whether her injuries would later recover. Ye Lingling healed her mother’s wounds and meridians, but could not repair her dantian, while Han Tao began extracting the Man-Faced Demon Spider poison.

• Ye Junlan’s Nine Heart Begonia healed Tang San’s visible injuries, but his meridians remained damaged, so he and Tang Hao accused her of withholding treatment.
• Tang San stabbed Ye Junlan with his Eight Spider Lances and destroyed her dantian, meridians, and muscles; she insisted she did not know how to heal meridians.
• Tang San and Tang Hao left, and Tang San said they would return to see whether Ye Junlan’s meridians had recovered and prove she had a cure.
• Ye Lingling and Han Tao received news of Ye Junlan’s condition and rushed to the Heaven Dou Empire clinic, where Ye Lingling healed her wounds and meridians but could not repair her dantian.
• Han Tao used Blue Silver Mirror Image and Dark Blue Silver Grass to extract the Man-Faced Demon Spider poison from Ye Junlan.

After treating Ye Junlan, Han Tao learned that Tang San had come to her for help and concluded that Ye Junlan needed to hide from him. Han Tao proposed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a refuge, but Ye Junlan wondered how they could get inside.

• Ye Junlan accepted Han Tao and Ye Lingling’s relationship after they finished treating her.
• Han Tao noticed Man-Faced Demon Spider Poison on the table and learned that Tang San and Tang Hao had visited Ye Junlan for treatment.
• Ye Lingling reasoned that Tang San might still be able to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill and suggested that a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider Soul Ring could be used to stop him.
• Ye Lingling warned that Tang San had damaged Ye Junlan’s meridians to test whether they could be repaired, and Han Tao agreed that Ye Junlan should hide.
• Han Tao rejected Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as safe havens, then suggested the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as a place Tang Hao could not enter.
• Ye Junlan asked how they could get inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

In the Sunset Forest’s poison barrier, Han Tao clashed with Ye Junlan after she refused to help dig toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He explained how Yu Xiaogang’s bad advice had ruined Tang San and used Tang San’s trust in his teacher to challenge Ye Junlan’s behavior.

• Han Tao explained that digging was necessary because the inner ring’s poison could corrode the Blue Silver Poisonous Barrier, while using Earth Power would consume his Blue Silver Origin.
• Ye Junlan refused to dig, so Han Tao canceled their trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and threatened to leave her to suffer when Tang Hao and his son came looking.
• Han Tao asked Ye Lingling why Tang San had become half-crippled despite his gifts, then blamed Yu Xiaogang’s theories and decisions for Tang San’s injuries and damaged abilities.
• Han Tao asked why Tang San continued trusting Yu Xiaogang, and Ye Lingling suggested that he respected his teacher.
• Han Tao explained that Tang San’s respect for teachers had kept him from questioning Yu Xiaogang’s guidance, while Ye Junlan realized Han Tao was criticizing her own airs and unsolicited lecturing.

Han Tao persuaded Ye Lingling that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could strengthen her Nine Heart Begonia, and she insisted on going despite Ye Junlan’s objections. As Han Tao prepared to take Ye Lingling there, Poison Douluo appeared, and Han Tao’s protective power rose in response.

• Han Tao told Ye Lingling that the Blue Silver Grass at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could improve her martial soul and cultivation, prompting her to decide to go.
• Ye Lingling explained the Well’s value to Ye Junlan, who objected, but Ye Lingling refused to change her mind.
• Han Tao gave Ye Lingling a shovel and prepared to guide her toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Poison Douluo suddenly appeared, and Han Tao realized that neither his Purple Demon Eyes nor his Blue Silver Eye had detected him.
• Ye Junlan respectfully addressed Poison Douluo, while Han Tao’s protective power spread from beneath the ground.

Han Tao used his Illusion to evade Dugu Bo and developed Reverse Wave Frequency to erase sound and cancel out Medusa's Gaze. He left Dugu Bo stunned by the demonstration of his microscopic control.

• Dugu Bo recognized Ye Lingling as his granddaughter Yan Zi’s friend and allowed Ye Junlan and Ye Lingling to leave, but refused to spare Han Tao.
• Han Tao revealed that he had come to help Ye Lingling reach the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, angering Dugu Bo, who claimed the place and its Immortal Herbs as his own.
• Ye Junlan’s voice exposed a flaw in Han Tao’s Illusion, prompting him to apply Reverse Wave Frequency to cancel out sound.
• Dugu Bo detected a faint sound underground and attacked Han Tao with Medusa’s Gaze.
• Han Tao used his Firefly Soul Skill with Reverse Wave Frequency to erase Dugu Bo’s petrifying rays, leaving Dugu Bo and the others amazed.

Han Tao defeated Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor by using Innate Soul Power to dismantle its Soul Skill and precisely striking its vital point. Dugu Bo accepted Han Tao’s strength, revealed that he needed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to control conflicting Immortal Herbs, and began explaining how his Ninth Soul Skill had saved him.

• Dugu Bo launched Jade Phosphor Bite, and Han Tao used Innate Soul Power to disrupt its special soul power before knocking the serpent down with Blue Silver Bamboo.
• Ye Junlan questioned how Han Tao could challenge a Titled Douluo, while Ye Lingling recognized that he had exploited the martial soul’s microscopic structure.
• Han Tao explained that Blue Silver Bamboo extended his perception and let him learn an opponent’s martial soul structure through contact.
• Dugu Bo ended the fight, acknowledged Han Tao’s strength, and noticed the Porcelain Vial at his waist.
• Dugu Bo revealed that conflicting Immortal Herbs had transformed his martial soul and that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s magnetic field helped harmonize their effects.
• Dugu Bo began explaining that his Ninth Soul Skill had allowed him to survive the conflict.

Han Tao and Dugu Bo crossed the Divine Level poison around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well by digging underground, where Ye Lingling cultivated and found that Blue Silver Soul Power could strengthen the Nine Heart Begonia’s martial soul foundation. Dugu Bo realized that his pursuit of powerful Soul Skills had worsened the effects of Immortal Herb toxins because his Jade Phosphor Poison origin was too weak.

• Dugu Bo demonstrated Jade Phosphor Body, and Han Tao noted that it could evade even advanced perception.
• After Dugu Bo explained that Divine Level Jade Phosphor Poison blocked the way, Han Tao gave him and Ye Junlan shovels to dig toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Dugu Bo emerged into the well and found the Immortal Herbs gone while Ye Lingling hurried to cultivate near the Blue Silver Emperor.
• Ye Lingling sensed that Blue Silver Soul Power supplemented part of the Nine Heart Begonia’s martial soul foundation, and she confirmed that Ning Rongrong’s Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was not part of it.
• Han Tao explained that Blue Silver Grass had also used Earth Pulse Power to complete its foundation, prompting Dugu Bo to connect his own weak Jade Phosphor Poison origin to the worsening Immortal Herb toxins.

Han Tao traded theories with Dugu Bo and learned that an Immortal Herb had transformed Dugu Bo’s Nine-Section Jadeite. He asked about Dugu Bo’s Dan Zhu, and Dugu Bo revealed that the Seven Absolute Jade Phosphor Flower had enabled him to condense it.

• Dugu Bo admitted that Han Tao’s theories could help him resolve conflicts between his poisons and offered to owe Han Tao a favor.
• Han Tao asked Dugu Bo to share his research on bloodlines and poisons in exchange for theories of equal value.
• Dugu Bo showed Han Tao the Nine-Section Jadeite and explained that he had cultivated it using an Immortal Herb and potent medicines.
• Han Tao identified Whale Rubber as something that could improve physique, and Dugu Bo gave him the Nine-Section Jadeite as payment.
• Han Tao asked Dugu Bo how he had condensed his Dan Zhu, and Dugu Bo revealed that the Seven Absolute Jade Phosphor Flower had changed his Soul Power and evolved his Martial Soul.

Han Tao used Poison Douluo’s suppression and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to test a method for condensing a poison Dan Zhu. With Ye Lingling’s insight, they discovered that icy poison could preserve the Jade Phosphor Poison’s solid form, leaving Poison Douluo shaken by their breakthrough.

• Han Tao used his Illusion Space soul bone skill on Poison Douluo, revealed its effect, and accused him of lying about the Seven Absolute Jade Phosphor Flower.
• Han Tao theorized that repelling immortal-herb powers could form an Inner Core and began condensing Jade Phosphor Poison around Man-Faced Demon Spider Poison.
• Han Tao explained that his crude Dan Zhu depended on the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Titled Douluo suppression, limiting the method’s usefulness.
• Ye Lingling proposed using icy poison as the embedded core so its cold energy would keep the outer Jade Phosphor Poison solid.
• Poison Douluo broke down in disbelief as Han Tao and Ye Lingling explained how the icy inner layer and Jade Phosphor Poison outer layer could bond into a permanently condensed Dan Zhu.

Han Tao and Ye Lingling created a Dan Zhu by combining the Ice Element with the Seven Absolute Jade Phosphor Flower, then Han Tao began exploring whether a cyclone could improve its stability. His attempt required more Mental Power than he had, so he and Ye Lingling turned to Poison Douluo for help.

• Han Tao recorded Ye Lingling's explanation of how opposing immortal herb forces and the inner layer's ice power stabilized Poison Douluo's Dan Zhu.
• Ye Lingling condensed Ice Immortal Herb Power, and Poison Douluo defended the value of her elemental research when Ye Junlan dismissed it.
• Han Tao and Ye Lingling combined the Ice Element with the Seven Absolute Jade Phosphor Flower to form a Dan Zhu larger than Poison Douluo's.
• Poison Douluo explained that his Dan Zhu united immortal herb power, Soul Power, and Bloodline power, while Han Tao concluded that the method needed improvement.
• Han Tao tried to use a cyclone to condense Dan Zhu, but Ye Lingling warned him not to experiment inside his body because his Dantian could be damaged.
• Han Tao failed to reproduce the cyclone outside his body with his current Mental Power, so he and Ye Lingling asked Poison Douluo, the only Titled Douluo present, to help.

Han Tao helped Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling open their Eight Extraordinary Meridians and recruited them to research how to create a Soul Power Vortex. Their experiments revealed several factors that influenced vortex formation, including temperature and rotational direction.

• Dugu Bo admitted he had opened the Twelve Principal Meridians but not the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and Han Tao gave him and Ye Lingling Spirit Hall's Meditation Method.
• Han Tao explained that Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was an Ultimate Martial Soul, prompting Dugu Bo to read the method despite his rivalry with its author.
• Han Tao used Frequency Resonance to open Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling's Eight Extraordinary Meridians and explained that mastering Microscopic Power was necessary to use the technique safely.
• Han Tao offered to teach Dugu Bo how to master Frequency Resonance if he helped research Soul Power Vortex formation.
• Dugu Bo tested vortex generation with Han Tao's guidance, and comparative experiments revealed that temperature and clockwise or counterclockwise rotation affected the results.

Han Tao successfully condensed an Innate Qi Cyclone at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and prepared to leave with Ye Lingling. Poison Douluo joined them after revealing that the Heaven Dou Empire had called healing experts together, prompting Ye Lingling to look forward to the opportunity to exchange ideas.

• Han Tao used the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s extreme temperatures to form an Innate Qi Cyclone in his Qi Sea Acupoint, while Ye Lingling stood ready to heal him.
• Han Tao explained that the cyclone increased his Soul Power storage but had little value compared with his theoretical discoveries.
• Han Tao and Ye Lingling left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Ye Junlan chose to stay and cultivate.
• Poison Douluo caught up with Han Tao and Ye Lingling, explaining that the spring could suppress but not fundamentally cure his Ice Poison.
• Poison Douluo told them the Heaven Dou Empire had invited healing Soul Masters and other experts to gather for a chance to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• Ye Lingling welcomed the gathering as an opportunity for healing Soul Masters to exchange knowledge and advance their theories.

Tang San, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang returned to Heaven Dou Empire and devised a plan to cripple Xue Qinghe so the empire would search for a way to heal meridians. They planned to get Tang San into the palace as a doctor, destroy its Image Stones, and let Tang Hao attack Xue Qinghe without being recorded.

• Tang San learned that Ye Junlan had died and that the clinic's old healer could not help him, so Tang Hao destroyed the old man's meridians.
• Tang San proposed crippling a powerful figure to force that figure's allies to search for a meridian cure, and he, Tang Hao, and Yu Xiaogang chose Xue Qinghe.
• Yu Xiaogang warned that Image Stones could expose them and suggested using Xue Ye's injuries as an opportunity to enter the palace.
• Tang Hao proposed getting Tang Yuehua to recommend Tang San as a doctor, while Yu Xiaogang planned to bribe guards for a palace layout map.
• Yu Xiaogang instructed Tang San to destroy the palace's Image Stones so Tang Hao could attack Xue Qinghe without being recorded.

Han Tao discovered that Wolf Thieves had appeared in Heaven Dou City and suspected that the Guards had been bribed to let them in. Concerned for Ye Lingling’s safety, he began teaching her how to use illusions as a means of self-defense.

• Han Tao and Ye Lingling found the wounded and dead being moved through Heaven Dou City, and Ye Lingling healed the injured with Nine Heart Begonia.
• Han Tao used Illusion Space to read a bystander’s memories and learned that Wolf Thieves had attacked the city.
• Han Tao suspected that someone had bribed the Guards to bring Wolf Thieves into the city, though he did not know why.
• Han Tao warned Ye Lingling to be careful and decided to prepare her to defend herself with illusions.
• Han Tao explained illusion theory to Ye Lingling and guided her into an illusion, beginning with the Shenting Acupoint and proposing Blue Silver Grass as an anchor.

Han Tao and Ye Lingling developed a way to escape illusions by stimulating the Heart Acupoint, then traced the Wolf Thieves to possible Physical Modification. At the palace, Han Tao spotted Tang San destroying a hidden Image Stone and began searching for his next target.

• Han Tao tested Ye Lingling’s idea of using Soul Power to stimulate the Heart Acupoint and successfully broke out of an illusion.
• Han Tao considered the Sea God’s final trial and worried it might be a form of brainwashing, then suggested involving Ning Rongrong to combine control of illusion and reality.
• Poison Douluo and Ye Lingling discussed whether Physical Modification had created the Wolf Thieves, and Han Tao concluded their extraordinary strength likely came from altered species baselines.
• Han Tao and Ye Lingling entered the palace under the Crown Prince’s authority to treat Xue Ye, where Han Tao searched the gathered healers for the Young Phoenix.
• Han Tao found Tang San destroying a hidden Image Stone with a Dragon Beard Needle and took out a palace map to search for his next target.

Tang San attacked Han Tao with the Peacock Plume, intending to cripple his meridians, but Han Tao trapped him in a layered Illusion. Tang San’s Purple Demon Eyes glimpsed reality, leaving him afraid of what Han Tao might do outside the illusion.

• Tang San plotted to cripple Han Tao’s meridians and make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect help him find a cure.
• Han Tao sensed Tang San’s hidden preparations and created a convincing Illusion Space using his Illusion ability and Mental Power.
• Tang San unleashed the Peacock Plume, and Han Tao appeared to be struck by hidden weapons and deadly poison.
• Tang San approached the seemingly fallen Han Tao, then noticed that the wounds did not match his weapons and used his Purple Demon Eyes to see through the Illusion.
• Tang San glimpsed reality but remained inside the Illusion, and he feared Han Tao might attack him in the real world.
