Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yi, possessed by Lesser Siming’s divine soul, unleashed two devastating techniques against the assassins. She killed four powerful enemies, but her body continued to break apart as the chapter ended.

• Lesser Siming took possession of Xiao Yi, and her divine presence forced everyone to stop fighting as the assassins tried to retreat.
• Xiao Yi used “One Finger Severs Yin and Yang” to crush the Hell Horse Soul Saint and Thorn beneath a Taiji Circle.

• Xiao Yi remained resolute, though her body was breaking apart and her face had grown pale.

Xiao Yi killed the most dangerous assassins and used the life force she absorbed to try to save Chen Xiaojun after Xixi discovered he had stopped breathing. The chapter left Xiao Yi still treating him as more allies arrived and watched in silence.

• Xiao Yi killed the Hell Horse Soul Saint and Thorn with One Finger Severs Yin and Yang, then destroyed two Soul Douluos with Two Fingers Cover All Life and absorbed their life force.
• Xixi told Xiao Yi that Chen Xiaojun was not breathing, and Xiao Yi checked his pulse and ordered her not to interrupt the rescue.

• Xiao Yi continued giving Chen Xiaojun life force and the Healing Medicine Pills prepared by Ye Xiuxin while the others watched.

Xiao Yi used the secret technique Life Resonance to repair Chen Xiaojun’s heart and save his life, taking part of his injuries into her own body. She collapsed from the strain, and Chen Cong led the group away with Chen Xiaojun and Xiao Yi to seek medical help.

• Xiao Yi stopped Chen Xiaojun’s bleeding and asked Chen Cong to hold him steady while she removed the sickle from his chest.

• Chen Cong said Chen Xiaojun was out of danger and hurried away with the group to find a doctor for Xiao Yi.

Chen Xiaojun woke after Xiao Yi saved him by using her Life Sharing technique, but learned that she had fallen into a coma and gone to see her. Liu Yirong and Liu Ruyan could not find a way to treat Xiao Yi’s body, which was being damaged and repaired by a mysterious, concentrated life force.

• Liu Yirong and Liu Ruyan explained that a powerful life force was damaging Xiao Yi’s flesh and meridians while also repairing them, and they had no solution.

Xiao Yi briefly awakened and reunited with Chen Xiaojun, but her condition worsened after she fell unconscious again. Liu Yirong said her spiritual sea had sealed itself off and that they needed to keep supplying her with vitality while hoping her body adapted to the power.

• Chen Xiaojun sat beside Xiao Yi and held her hand until she woke and told him she was glad he had recovered.

• Rhea arrived to change Ou Ya's dressings, and Long Ma teased him about Liu Yirong's concern for him.

Ou Ya and Long Ma discussed the mysterious god’s opposing but sacred powers and decided Sea God Island should wait for guidance from Chief Priest Russell.

• Ou Ya described the mysterious god’s power to Long Ma, who concluded that the deity was likely righteous despite its icy and deathly attributes.
• Ou Ya and Long Ma agreed that Sea God Island should monitor events and wait for Chief Priest Russell to decide how to approach the Chen Clan and the new deity.

Azure Water Caltrop Healer treated Xiao Yi in the Life Essence Pool and explained that divine power, the powers of ice and fire, and the Spring of Life would strengthen her while she remained unconscious. Xiao Yi might not awaken for years, and her sealed Upper Soul Nest remained the main concern as Chen Cong agreed to seek treasures that could help her recover.

After the battle, Liu Ruyan treated Chen Xiaojun and examined Xixi, Zhu Wuneng, and Su Ningxia, finding no serious injuries. Left alone with Xixi, Chen Xiaojun comforted her after she confessed she felt useless compared with Xiao Yi, but she remained troubled by her fear in past crises.

• Liu Ruyan used acupuncture to stabilize Chen Xiaojun and said he needed more rest.
• Chen Xiaojun asked Liu Ruyan to examine Xixi, Zhu Wuneng, and Su Ningxia, and she found only minor injuries that would heal with rest.

• Chen Xiaojun explained that Xiao Yi's abilities suited her opponents and praised Xixi's courage against power attack Soul Masters.
• Xixi admitted that she still panicked during critical moments, including the previous beast tide, and that Xiao Yi had to save the situation.

Chen Xiaojun reassured Xixi after her fight with a Mountain-Breaking Giant Hammer wielder, explaining the hammer’s origins and asking her to keep Blood Sickle’s death secret. Xixi left determined to improve, while Chen Xiaojun rested in solitude, staring into the distance.

• Chen Xiaojun encouraged Xixi by praising her ability to stand against a high-rank Soul Emperor despite her lower level.
• Chen Xiaojun explained that the Mountain-Breaking Giant Hammer branched from the Tang Family’s Clear Sky Hammer lineage after an earth-attribute faction was expelled.
• Xixi recognized that the Mountain-Breaking Giant Hammer’s earth abilities had restrained her during their fight, and Chen Xiaojun affirmed her strength.

• Xixi left after agreeing to rest and look after Little Wuneng, Ningxia, and the others, privately resolving not to give up.
• Chen Xiaojun stared out the window, feeling lonely as he seemed to search or wait for something.

Chen Xiaojun learned that the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could help Xiao Yi recover and discussed applying for it with Chen Cong, who explained the clan’s rules for allocating immortal herbs and treasure medicines. The clan would favor young members with great potential and significant contributions, with Chen Xiaojun expected to spend nearly all his contribution points on herbs for himself and Xiao Yi.

• Chen Cong returned and told Chen Xiaojun that Xiao Yi might recover in two or three years, or possibly after more than a decade, and that mental-power medicines could speed her recovery.
• Chen Xiaojun told Chen Cong that the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could enhance mental power and might also strengthen Xiao Yi’s abilities, then asked whether the clan would approve an application for it.
• Chen Cong said the clan would likely approve the request because Xiao Yi was injured for Chen Xiaojun’s sake and he had made major contributions to the clan.
• Chen Xiaojun asked to apply for a second immortal herb for himself after reaching level 40, and Chen Cong agreed that he could proceed with his plan.
• Chen Cong explained that the clan’s elders would avoid immortal herbs, while younger members with exceptional aptitude and potential would be prioritized; Chen Mu had already received a ninth-grade treasure medicine that raised his innate soul power to 8.1.
• Chen Cong described the clan’s broader plan to cultivate medicinal herbs and allocate them through contribution points, warning Chen Xiaojun that exchanging for herbs for himself and Xiao Yi would likely exhaust his points.

Chen Xiaojun explained why he wanted the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum and how it would complement the narcissus jade muscle bone. He then proposed choosing wind- and lightning-attribute immortal herbs for Chen Xun and Jianjun, and Chen Cong enthusiastically approved the plan.

• Chen Xiaojun told Chen Cong that the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum would strengthen his qi, blood, flesh, and physique, complementing the narcissus jade muscle bone.
• Chen Xiaojun explained that the two herbs would help him withstand the strain of layering the Chen Clan’s sword techniques with the Impartial Sword Qi Art.
• Chen Cong pointed out that the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum would also suit Chen Xun and Jianjun, and asked how Chen Xiaojun planned to choose herbs for them.
• Chen Xiaojun proposed wind-attribute herbs for Chen Xun and a lightning-attribute herb for Jianjun to expand their martial souls’ abilities.
• Chen Cong praised Chen Xiaojun’s plan and said that proving immortal herbs could grant corresponding attributes would strengthen the Chen Clan’s soul masters.

Chen Xiaojun told Chen Cong that his Fish Intestine Sword had evolved and its soul rings and skills had grown stronger after his battle with Blood Sickle. Chen Cong advised him to conceal his transformed ten-thousand-year soul ring while they considered whether the sword had become a super martial soul, just as a familiar voice arrived asking about super martial souls.

• Chen Xiaojun showed Chen Cong his evolved Fish Intestine Sword and activated his purple, purple, and black soul rings.
• Chen Xiaojun explained how the sword awakened during his fight with Blood Sickle and described the increased power of its three-hit combo.
• Chen Xiaojun connected the sword’s awakening to the Sword God Pearls’ virtue of fearless resolve and said the divine swords were modeled on ancient swords from Blue Star.
• Chen Xiaojun asked how to handle his transformed third soul ring and whether his martial soul had become a super martial soul.
• Chen Cong advised Chen Xiaojun to hide the ten-thousand-year soul ring skill and judged the Fish Intestine Sword to be beyond a ninth-grade martial soul but not clearly a super martial soul.
• A familiar voice entered the courtyard and asked Chen Cong to explain super martial souls.

Chen Yu joined Chen Xiaojun and Chen Cong to discuss how the family should distribute the immortal herbs, then recommended that Xiao Yi absorb the Yin-Yang Twin Lives Flower. Chen Xiaojun remained worried because Xiao Yi was gravely injured and unconscious, and the herb could be deadly.

• Chen Yu arrived after receiving a message from Chen Cong and listened as Chen Xiaojun and Chen Cong explained recent events and their ideas about distributing the immortal herbs.
• Chen Yu agreed with Chen Xiaojun’s approach and said Xiao Yi should receive the Yin-Yang Twin Lives Flower instead of the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
• Chen Yu explained that Xiao Yi’s ice-and-fire herbs, yin-yang balance, martial soul, and cultivation practices could help her withstand and benefit from the King of Immortal Herb.
• Chen Yu revealed that Ye Xiuxin had also chosen Xiao Yi as the first candidate to absorb the flower.
• Chen Xiaojun acknowledged the flower’s potential but objected that Xiao Yi was still gravely injured and unconscious.

Chen Yu explained why the Yin-Yang Twin Lives Flower might safely help Xiao Yi awaken and proposed using the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to improve Han Xin and Yanwu’s cultivation. Chen Xiaojun accepted the responsibility of planning the clan’s herb arrangements, then recommended the Star Luo Spirit Pearl for Chen Cong.

• Chen Yu argued that Xiao Yi’s body, soul, divine power, and Yin-Yang Art made her unusually suited to absorb the Yin-Yang Twin Lives Flower after she stabilized.
• Chen Yu said the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could greatly strengthen Han Xin and Yanwu’s mental cultivation and help them reach Title Douluo potential.
• Chen Xiaojun accepted Chen Yu’s reasoning, and Chen Yu said the clan would research whether immortal herbs could add attributes and develop plans for its members.
• Chen Yu asked Chen Xiaojun which immortal herb he would choose for Chen Cong, and Chen Xiaojun recommended the Star Luo Spirit Pearl to enhance Chen Cong’s sword techniques with stellar or lunar attributes.
• Chen Cong laughed at Chen Xiaojun’s scheme, and Chen Xiaojun reminded him that he had once made the same remark while studying the natural formation at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Chen Xiaojun explained Lesser Siming’s origins, divine powers, and connection to Great Siming to Chen Yu and Chen Cong. He concluded that the Nine Songs deities were god-immortals, leaving the elders to consider the scale of Lesser Siming’s power.

• Chen Yu asked Chen Xiaojun and Chen Cong what they thought of Lesser Siming, and Chen Xiaojun agreed to explain the deity.
• Chen Xiaojun said Lesser Siming came with Xiao Yi through the system and was a sacrificial deity whose divine body remained uncertain.
• Chen Xiaojun described Lesser Siming and Great Siming’s roles in the Yin-Yang School and their divine offices governing fate, life, and death.
• Chen Cong and Chen Yu teased Chen Xiaojun about taking the sobriquet Great Siming to pair himself with Xiao Yi, and he admitted it.
• Chen Xiaojun speculated that Lesser Siming’s finger techniques could combine Yin-Yang, life and death, and fate, then called the Nine Songs deities god-immortals.

Chen Xiaojun explained his theory of Lesser Siming’s powers and compared her combat strength with the Sea God and Angel God. He judged that she might outmatch them at equal rank, but the outcome would depend on how well she adapted to the Douluo Continent and how its native gods responded.

• Chen Xiaojun explained that Lesser Siming’s Yin-Yang powers might form the foundation of her divine system and estimated that her status ranked at least above a Second-Level God, possibly as a First-Level God.
• Chen Xiaojun argued that Lesser Siming might surpass the Sea God and Angel God in combat at equal rank because of her broader command of yin-yang, the five elements, and the power of heaven and earth.
• Chen Cong wondered whether his sword formation could reach the realm of wielding heaven and earth, and Chen Yu encouraged him to keep pursuing the Dao.
• Chen Xiaojun realized that Chen Yu and the older generation regarded Chen Cong as their generation’s pillar and intended to use an immortal herb to complete his innate foundation.
• Chen Xiaojun added that Lesser Siming might be disadvantaged by unfamiliar rules, possible suppression, uncertain power recovery, and a lack of believers, while Chen Cong warned that the native gods might unite against her or try to weaken her.
