Chapter Summaries

Su Ping traced the Heavenly Tomb’s repeating cycle, in which undead were consumed by a Black Stele and transformed into a black sword, then reunited with Li Feng’s group. A Soul Detector revealed that the sword chimes were gradually forging Zhu Linxin’s soul into a sword.

• Su Ping observed the undead turn into ash and feed the Black Stele, which transformed into a black sword before the cycle began again.
• After confirming the cycle, Su Ping took a newly formed black sword and used it to pass through the gray mist with Zhu Linxin.
• Su Ping and Zhu Linxin reached Li Feng and Liang Yifan, and Li Feng explained their plan to search outward from a central point and regroup the unit.
• Li Feng quietly showed Su Ping a Soul Detector aimed at Zhu Linxin, whose soul appeared unusually straight.
• As the sword chimes rang, Zhu Linxin’s soul grew straighter on the detector, and Su Ping realized the sounds were forging it into a sword.

Su Ping deduced that the Heavenly Tomb transformed souls into black swords to harvest them, then decided to follow one of the swords through Soul Projection to find the force behind the realm. As the Sword Chime rang, Su Ping and Qianyi vanished with the other swords, leaving their companions to guard his body.

• Su Ping reasoned that the Northern Border’s undead tides supplied the Heavenly Tomb with energy and that its Sword Chimes turned souls into black swords for sacrifice.
• When Zhu Linxin tried to touch a gravestone under the Sword Chime’s influence, Su Ping and Li Feng restrained him, and Su Ping realized the black swords were being taken somewhere when they disappeared.
• Su Ping concluded that he had to send his soul after a black sword to reach the Heavenly Tomb’s hidden mastermind, and he asked Li Feng to gather the others and protect his body.
• Su Ping explained that his Heavenly Tomb Mark let him resist the Sword Chimes and chose Qianyi to accompany him because Qianyi was a natural Sword Soul.
• Su Ping and Qianyi projected their souls onto a black sword, and when the Sword Chime rang, they vanished with the other swords.

Su Ping entered the hidden space containing the Death Sword and met Charles, who explained the Death God's reincarnation and offered to share its power with him. Su Ping appeared to accept, but only after Charles agreed to do something for him.

• Su Ping's soul traveled through the mist and spatial barriers to a hidden chamber where countless soul swords converged on the Death Sword.
• Charles appeared on the bone throne, caught Su Ping's attacks, and said he had come to discuss their future.
• Charles explained that the Death God had divided its legacy among four reincarnation sites and that its revivals lacked a fixed sense of self.
• Charles proposed merging their souls so they could claim the Death God's power, offering Su Ping a choice between sharing it and retaining his identity.
• Charles revealed the Death Sword and urged Su Ping to join him; Su Ping agreed on the condition that Charles first do something for him.

Su Ping entered the Death Sword to fuse with the Death God's power, but resisted becoming Charles's kind of being and relied on the Myriad Spirits Codex to save himself. As his soul reached peak Monarch, the Codex appeared and asked whether to store the Death God's advanced origin power.

• Su Ping demanded that Charles rescue the people trapped in the Soul Furnace and return his body and the Paper-Folding Man before he entered the Death Sword, and Charles agreed.
• Charles used his control over Heavenly Tomb to return the Heavenly Tomb Unit to the stele, where White Cat asked where Su Ping was.
• Su Ping entered the Death Sword and endured the Death God's power, while resisting the fusion and repeatedly calling for the Myriad Spirits Codex.
• The death power threatened to consume Su Ping, but the Myriad Spirits Codex appeared and began trapping it within his soul.
• Su Ping became a peak Monarch Beast Tamer, and the Myriad Spirits Codex prompted him to store the advanced origin power.

Su Ping stored the Death God's origin power in the Myriad Spirits Codex, then pretended to cooperate with Charles long enough to learn about the Bone Throne and the Heavenly Tomb. He chose to destroy Charles's soul mark instead, then noticed something about the Death Sword and asked Qianyi to join him in an all-or-nothing gamble.

• The Myriad Spirits Codex revealed powerful benefits from absorbing the Death God's origin power, and Su Ping stored the power rather than merging with it.
• Su Ping emerged from the Death Sword and considered playing along with Charles, but chose not to betray his vow to kill him.
• Charles explained how the Bone Throne connected the Heavenly Tombs and said Su Ping could command the creatures outside.
• Su Ping drew the Death Sword and repeatedly struck Charles's soul mark until it vanished, then stored the origin power again.
• Su Ping examined the Death Sword, noticed Qianyi had remained still, and asked the Paper-Folding Man Swordsman to make an all-or-nothing gamble.

Su Ping used the Death Sword to begin Qianyi’s evolution while claiming the Bone Throne’s control over the Heavenly Tomb. As Qianyi’s evolution triggered a dangerous breakthrough toward Emperor Tier, Su Ping escaped the tomb and urgently asked Lord Bai and Li Feng for spatial-trait resources.

• Charles blamed Su Ping for stealing the Death God’s power, then entered seclusion to pursue Legend Tier.
• Su Ping decided to use the Death Sword as Qianyi’s sword core and sat on the Bone Throne to claim ownership of it.
• Su Ping gained control of the Bone Throne and chose to leave the Heavenly Tomb’s resources for the Northern Border Legion to use.
• Qianyi enveloped the Death Sword and began evolving, causing Su Ping’s Mental Strength to surge toward Emperor Tier.
• Su Ping returned to his body and used the Bone Throne to teleport outside the Heavenly Tomb with Qianyi.
• Su Ping asked Lord Bai and Captain Li for spatial-trait resources because he could no longer suppress his impending breakthrough.

Su Ping reached Emperor Tier as Qianyi completed its evolution, gaining two Spatial Traits while the World Tree leaf replaced the incomplete tricolor prismatic gold as his breakthrough resource. Qianyi emerged transformed with the Death Sword, and the surrounding millions of undead suddenly prostrated themselves before it.

• White Tiger spat out an incomplete piece of tricolor prismatic gold, which Su Ping placed in his Beast Taming Space as Qianyi’s evolution intensified.
• The World Tree leaf replaced the metal as Su Ping’s breakthrough resource, and he reached Emperor Tier in about twenty minutes.
• Su Ping gained the Spatial Traits world containment and spatial stacking, then examined the improvements to his abilities.
• Qianyi completed its evolution, becoming a larger, dark-gray Sword Demon wielding the Death Sword.
• Millions of undead approached the group, then prostrated themselves as if paying homage to their king.

Qianyi completed its evolution into the Hell Sword Lord, gaining immense power from the Death Sword and commanding the undead gathered around it. Su Ping feared the Death God’s remnants might change Qianyi, but its familiar personality reassured him.

• Qianyi awakened from its evolution, and the surrounding undead, including the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, prostrated themselves before it.
• Su Ping inspected Qianyi’s status and discovered its Legend-tier racial potential and powerful skills, including the Death Sword Lord, Death Sword Domain, and an irreversible death mark.
• Su Ping realized the Death Sword’s power had transformed Qianyi’s body and Elemental Heart, while its evolution drew strength from the Death God’s legacy.
• Su Ping worried that traces of the Death God might alter Qianyi and make it lose its identity.
• Qianyi addressed the undead troops as their ruler, and Su Ping recognized its familiar personality and let go of his fears.

Su Ping discovered that some Heavenly Tomb Unit members, including Zhu Linxin, had suffered severe soul damage in the Soul Furnace and asked Qianyi to restore them, but Qianyi could not. After arranging a temporary truce with the Heavenly Tomb’s Undead and learning that more than ten Saint Spirit Tier beings opposed Qianyi’s authority, Su Ping challenged one of them and faced the Winter Snow Demon King.

• Su Ping found Zhu Linxin and other Heavenly Tomb Unit members still fixated on Qianyi’s Death Sword, while several members were missing after becoming nourishment for the Soul Furnace.
• Qianyi examined Zhu Linxin and could not restore the sword-transformed souls, so Su Ping asked Lord Bai to tell Lord Sacred Dragon to find someone who could heal them.
• Su Ping decided to return to the military camp and instructed Qianyi to tell the Undead to stay out of northern Dragon Nation and accept rules for a future training ground.
• The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword agreed to follow Qianyi, but warned that more than ten Saint Spirit Tier beings rejected its authority and opposed human control of the Heavenly Tomb.
• Su Ping left Lord Bai to protect Captain Li and the others, then challenged the dissenting Undead and swore Lord Bai would not intervene unless lives were at stake.
• The Winter Snow Demon King emerged from the black mist to accept Su Ping’s challenge against Qianyi.

Qianyi fought the Saint Spirit Tier Winter Snow Demon King in the Heavenly Tomb and killed it with seemingly ordinary sword strikes. Su Ping realized that Qianyi’s Death Mark had triggered a rule of death, leaving the other witnesses bewildered.

• Su Ping opened a cramped battlefield in the Heavenly Tomb for Qianyi and the Winter Snow Demon King to fight.
• Qianyi unleashed Death Sword Domain, transformed into a giant sword, and evaded the Winter Snow Demon King’s Absolute Zero attack through instantaneous teleportation.
• Qianyi repeatedly slashed the Winter Snow Demon King, whose ice armor kept recovering and whose attacks failed to land.
• The Winter Snow Demon King suddenly died after taking a sword strike, and a Saint Spirit Tier Soul Crystal remained as its soul scattered.
• Su Ping understood that Death Mark had triggered and killed the Winter Snow Demon King across a vast tier gap.

Su Ping left the Heavenly Tomb after cutting off its undead energy cycle, and White Tiger escorted him back toward the Northern Border Legion. At the Legion, Master Leng rushed to confront the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, but Su Ping and White Tiger emerged from the mist before the clash could continue.

• Su Ping cut off the Heavenly Tomb’s energy cycle and departed with White Tiger, while the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword followed Qianyi and carved a path through the mist.
• At the Northern Border Legion, Master Leng mistook the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword’s appearance for an impending attack and flew out on Ghost Dragon to fight it.
• Master Leng attacked the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword with the Impermanence Rope and Yama’s Decree, but a roar from White Tiger stopped both fighters.
• The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword and Master Leng emerged from the mist together, followed by White Tiger carrying Su Ping back to the Legion.

After returning from the Heavenly Tomb, Su Ping convinced Sacred Dragon Legend that the Spring God had helped him survive and that he had not been influenced by the Death God. Sacred Dragon appointed him Vice President of the Dragon Nation Beast Tamer Association, then arranged a visit to the Rong Family, where news from Su Anyong left Rong Bao stunned.

• Su Ping told Sacred Dragon Legend, Su Anyong, and Master Leng that the Spring God had helped him, and said he had defeated Charles and gained Qianyi's evolved form.
• Sacred Dragon Legend asked whether Su Ping would betray his country; after Su Ping said no, he appointed him Vice President of the Beast Tamer Association.

• Sacred Dragon Legend told Su Ping that the Heavenly Tomb Unit members were being taken to Dragon City Emerald Dreamland for recovery and said he would accompany him to the Rong Family.
• At the Rong Family residence, Rong Bao received a call from Su Anyong, then dropped his phone in shock.

Rong Bao’s family struggled to divide the Rong Family’s assets until Su Ping arrived with Sacred Dragon Legend and imposed a settlement. Su Ping then gave his grandfather a rare cultivation legacy and proposed that his branch relocate to Dian-Tibet to help establish a new border city.

• Rong Bao persisted with the Rong Family division despite the Snake Ancestor urging him to reconsider, because he wanted Su Ping to see that he had tried his best.
• Su Ping arrived with Sacred Dragon Legend, who ordered Su Ping to help settle the division and warned the family against ingratitude.
• Su Ping allocated the family’s assets and promised his grandfather’s branch would take no existing fixed assets, while giving every branch a Five Poisons Token for the Five Saint Mystic Realm.
• When Rong Xiao challenged the allocation, Sacred Dragon Legend crippled his branch’s mental cultivation and pets, stripped them of their Rong name, and had them expelled.
• Su Ping revealed his Emperor Tier strength, gave Rong Bao the Five Poisons Soul-Refining Meditation Method, and proposed that Rong Bao’s branch and the Snake Saint relocate to Dian-Tibet to help build a new border city.

After consolidating his recent breakthroughs, Su Ping prepared to leave Beiyuan with the Rong Family and discovered a secret art hidden in the Five Poisons Soul-Refining Meditation Method. Sacred Dragon Legend finished arranging the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land, and Su Ping brought his family and a large collection of insect pet beasts back to Dragon City.

• Su Ping emerged from three days of meditation, and Rong Mang told him the Rong Family was ready to relocate to Dian-Tibet.
• Rong Mang showed Su Ping Situ Feng’s Spirit Awakening Technique, a secret art that could call forth a living being’s soul consciousness, and Su Ping encouraged the family to try practicing it.
• Su Ping accepted the insect pet beasts Grandfather had gathered and said Grandfather could visit him in Linzhou to discuss future arrangements.
• Sacred Dragon Legend reported that he had reshaped the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land into a habitat for undead pet beasts and asked Su Ping to activate the Bone Throne’s energy before they left.
• Su Ping boarded Sacred Dragon Legend’s mechanical pet beast Proud Heaven and returned to Dragon City with the Rong Family, his father, and the Ghost Sage.

Sacred Dragon Legend and Leng Ao briefed Dragon Nation’s Saint Spirit Tier Beast Tamers on Su Ping’s success in securing the Heavenly Tomb and thwarting the Death God’s plans. The meeting turned to the coming age of Myth Tier beings, and Su Ping arrived as the leaders prepared to reveal their final matter.

• Saint Spirit Tier figures gathered at Dragon City, where Meng Yao feared that Su Ping had been lost in the Heavenly Tomb.
• Leng Ao announced that Su Ping had escaped safely and could fully control the Heavenly Tomb, adding its vast territory and resources to Dragon Nation.
• Leng Ao revealed that the Heavenly Tomb was created by the Myth Tier Death God and that Su Ping had destroyed a portion of its power and disrupted Charles’s plan.
• Sacred Dragon Legend explained that Su Ping had received help from the Myth Tier Spring God, whose power opposed the Death God’s.

• Su Ping arrived at the meeting ten minutes later.

Su Ping attended a gathering of Dragon Nation’s top Beast Tamers, where the Sacred Dragon Legend appointed him Vice President and revealed Su Ping’s strength and Dragon-Raising Bamboo. After viewing Dragon City’s Treasure Vault, Su Ping left with the Dragon-Slayer Sword but postponed choosing two additional treasures.

• The Sacred Dragon Legend introduced Su Ping to the gathered leaders and proposed appointing him Vice President of the Beast Tamer Association headquarters.
• Wolf Sage questioned the timing, but the Sacred Dragon Legend revealed that Su Ping had reached Emperor Tier at twenty and that his Paper-Folding Man could contend with Saint Spirit Tier pets, winning the gathered leaders’ support.
• The Sacred Dragon Legend presented Su Ping’s Dragon-Raising Bamboo to the group, then sent Shadow Sage to take him to the Treasure Vault to claim the Dragon-Slayer Sword and choose two more items.
• The Sacred Dragon Legend and Wolf Sage discussed the dangers of the World Tree’s small world and the possible return of its entrance across three western provinces.
• Su Ping spotted the Fusang Branch among the vault’s treasures but asked Shadow Sage to let him decide on his two additional choices later, then left carrying the Dragon-Slayer Sword.

Su Ping returned to the Heart of Myriad Spirits, settled its pets, and contracted Xiaoshi as his fifth pet. He then turned to absorbing the Death God Mark’s power into the Myriad Spirits Codex.

• Su Ping discussed the Heavenly Tomb Legion’s condition and his plans for research and pet cultivation while returning to Linzhou.
• Su Ping helped place his grandfather’s insect pets in the Heart of Insects before heading to his meditation room.

• Su Ping formed a Soul Contract with Xiaoshi, raising the Book of Time from Commander Tier Seven to Commander Tier Ten.
• Su Ping sent Xiaoshi back to the Beast Taming Space to continue absorbing Chenlong’s Dragon Orb, then focused on the Myriad Spirits Codex’s Absorb function.

After absorbing the Death God's power, Su Ping mastered the Paper-Folding Man record and gained the ability to create Paper-Folding Men by shaping souls. He considered whether his new understanding of life and souls could let him create an entirely new category of pet beasts.

• Su Ping absorbed the Death God's mark, causing the Paper-Folding Man mark in his soul to transform as he instinctively created a Paper-Folding Man in a vision.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex raised all locked Undead-type and Death-type records to LV3, granted Su Ping 5,000 Universal Experience Points, and enhanced his Rapid Recovery and Overlimit Spirit talents.
• Su Ping fully mastered the Paper-Folding Man record, acquired the soul-rule ability Create Paper-Folding Man, and gained a mark representing mastery of the Undead origin.
• After awakening, Su Ping used Soul-Calming Paper to create a wild juvenile Paper-Folding Man whose soul was unusually complete for its age.
• Su Ping wondered whether he could combine his soul-rule knowledge with the Spring God's Life Engraving to create a new race or category of pet beasts.

Su Ping unlocked the second-stage cultivation methods for the Rainbow Dragon and Southern Bright Li Fire, then planned how to strengthen his pet beasts and gather the required materials. After arranging for Light Dragon blood, he was reminded by the Water Venerable of an important matter he had nearly forgotten.

• Su Ping spent his accumulated experience to unlock the Rainbow Dragon's second-stage evolution method and Southern Bright Li Fire's second-stage cultivation method.
• Su Ping learned that the Rainbow Dragon needed Light Dragon blood and a dangerous three-day post-evolution regimen, while Southern Bright Li Fire required increasingly powerful flames and resources, including flames refined from Saint Spirit Tier beings.
• Su Ping decided to begin the Rainbow Dragon's evolution preparations, gather Fire Element pet beasts and resources for Little Flame, and work on Xiao Qing's and Old Sha's cultivation when time allowed.
• Su Ping asked Uncle Guan to arrange his requirements and contacted Saint Yu for a drop of Light Dragon blood; Saint Yu agreed to send it within two days.
• The Water Venerable appeared before Su Ping and accused him of nearly pushing their business aside.

Shark Ji warned Su Ping that the original Water Venerable was rapidly growing stronger and might become an enemy, then asked him to find a way to sever their soul connection. As Su Ping considered her water-based body and soul, he hit on a new research idea and brought her to a laboratory, where he prepared to begin an experiment with the Yasha King's arm.

• Shark Ji told Su Ping that the original Water Venerable was gathering power and destroying Flame Venerable soul fragments, making it a likely enemy of Su Ping and Xiao Huo.
• Shark Ji explained that her thoughts and body were independent of the original, but their souls remained connected; Su Ping reasoned that a clone's soul could be grown rather than split apart.
• Su Ping examined Shark Ji's water-based body and became excited by an idea, asking her to follow him to a Water Element laboratory.
• Meng Yao and Zhu Hong joined Su Ping, and Shark Ji agreed to help evaluate his new research despite doubting that he could easily solve her problem.
• Su Ping brought out an arm from the Yasha King's remains and announced that the experiment could make history in Beast Taming.
