Over three years, Ji Yang strengthened his and Ye Lingling’s combat abilities with elevated Soul Bones, while Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling advanced their cultivation and gained powerful Soul Spirits. After finishing his training near level fifty-six, Ji Yang was joined by Xiao Wu, whose changed appearance and closeness to him had changed how she addressed him.

• Ji Yang explained that sharing pills with Xiao Wu and Ye Lingling and helping the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape had slowed his progress, leaving him near level fifty-six at age ten.
• After Ji Yang finished his daily cultivation, Xiao Wu came over and called him “Brother Yang,” while Ye Lingling called him “Ah Yang.”

Ji Yang and Xiao Wu stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest as Da Ming and Er Ming began their two-hundred-thousand-year tribulations. The two soul beasts faced the lightning with their evolved bloodlines, while Di Tian discovered their sudden rise and wondered what opportunity had empowered them.

• Xiao Wu asked Ji Yang to leave the forest with her, but he urged her to wait until Da Ming and Er Ming had completed their tribulations.
• Ji Yang explained that Da Ming and Er Ming had evolved into an Azure Sky Thunder Dragon and a Titan Exotic Beast, gaining powerful lightning abilities.

• Di Tian sensed the two simultaneous tribulations and was astonished to recognize the soul beasts guarding the Lake of Life, wondering how they had advanced so quickly.

Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts discussed the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape surviving their tribulation, deciding to leave them some Sky Dream Ice Silkworm power and have them look after the Auspicious Beast. Da Ming and Er Ming survived the two-hundred-thousand-year tribulation and underwent major physical and spiritual transformations, emerging closer to an Azure Dragon and an Elder Titan.

• Bi Ji asked whether Di Tian should help Da Ming and Er Ming, but Di Tian judged their evolved bloodlines strong enough to withstand the tribulation alone.
• Xiong Jun and the others opposed sharing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s power with Da Ming and Er Ming, while Di Tian offered to give them part of his share or let them absorb what remained.

• Da Ming and Er Ming’s soul power and spiritual power increased, and their soul cores gained the thunder attribute.

After Da Ming and Er Ming survived their tribulations and became ferocious beasts, Di Tian ordered them to care for the Auspicious Beast. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion arrived and began bossing them around, then caught the scent of something appealing from Ji Yang.

• Da Ming and Er Ming celebrated their transformation into ferocious beasts, but Di Tian’s spiritual message ordered them to protect the Auspicious Beast and warned them not to let anything happen to her.

• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion demanded that Da Ming and Er Ming obey her, threatening to ask Uncle Di Tian to punish them.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion noticed a delicious fragrance and turned her attention toward Ji Yang.

Ji Yang used Soul Power Pills and the threat of returning her to Di Tian to make the Three-Eyed Golden Lion agree to behave. He decided to take her with him when he left the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving a message for the other Ferocious Beasts first.

• Ji Yang tempted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a Soul Power Pill and threatened to send her back to her Uncle Di Tian unless she listened to him.
• The Three-Eyed Golden Lion agreed to behave, and Ji Yang gave her two Soul Power Pills, which she eagerly ate and began absorbing.
• Da Ming and Er Ming asked Ji Yang how they should handle the Auspicious Beast now that she had arrived.
• Ji Yang chose to take the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with them and said they should leave a message for the Ferocious Beasts around the Lake of Life.

Ji Yang learned that Da Ming and Er Ming had reached the peak of Level 96 Super Douluos and could briefly fight at Level 98 strength. After preparing to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, the group set off for the Sunset Forest to use its immortal herbs and help Xiao Wu mature.

• Da Ming and Er Ming assumed human forms, chose Azure Dragon and Tai Tan as their human identities, and carried the group toward the Sunset Forest.

• Ji Yang led the group to the Sunset Forest and prepared to search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Ji Yang sensed a battle and identified Qian Renxue, Snake Lance Douluo, and Porcupinefish Douluo hunting a twenty-thousand-year Holy Light Lion.
• Ji Yang judged that Qian Renxue had wasted her exceptional cultivation talent by spending years infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Xiao Wu learned Qian Renxue was Bibi Dong’s daughter and refused to let Da Ming and Er Ming attack, citing the danger of provoking Spirit Hall.
• Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo sensed the group’s hostile presence and called out warily.

Ji Yang and his companions confronted Qian Renxue and two Spirit Hall Douluos, forcing them to retreat after he warned that someone would settle a blood debt with Bibi Dong.

• Ji Yang told Qian Renxue to warn Bibi Dong that someone would settle a blood debt with her, then overwhelmed the group with his spiritual pressure.

• Ji Yang reflected on the danger of encountering Spirit Hall or other factions and resolved to strengthen himself, Da Ming, and Er Ming.
• Ji Yang refined the abandoned Holy Light Lion in his Bagua Alchemy Furnace, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion received and swallowed its Soul Power Pill.

Ji Yang found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with the help of Da Ming and Er Ming, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion sensed a familiar presence beneath it. After Ji Yang cleared a path through the poisonous mist, he encountered Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling at the well.

• Da Ming and Er Ming searched the Sunset Forest with Ji Yang and the others until they found the valley containing the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan swore loyalty to the Pill Tower and promised to keep its secrets.
• Ji Yang began explaining how Dugu Bo could form a soul core, including the risks of failure and the improvements it could bring.

Ji Yang explained the benefits of soul cores, then confirmed that Dugu Bo’s Jade Phosphor Core Pearl was an imperfect embryonic soul core and offered a safe way for him to form one properly. As Ji Yang began treating Dugu Bo with help from his Radiant Sun Sacred Phoenix soul spirit, Ye Lingling explained soul spirits, prompting Dugu Yan to suspect her friend knew too much.

• Ji Yang described how soul cores could help Soul Douluo break through, strengthen Titled Douluo, and potentially help dual-core users reach Limit Douluo, astonishing Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

• Ji Yang began purifying Dugu Bo’s toxins by having the radiant sun sacred phoenix unleash Phoenix Sacred Fire and engulf him.

• Ji Yang told Xiao Wu that his cultivation had improved greatly and found that his Bagua Alchemy Furnace could now produce pills with much greater potency and quantity.

Ji Yang refined and swallowed a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower Pill, reaching level sixty-nine and unlocking precise control over the pills his Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul produced. He realized the new ability could extract and refine specific traits into pills, leaving him confident he could help Ye Lingling evolve her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.
