After joining the Body Sect, Su Yu cultivated his three dantian martial souls and merged his essence, energy, and spirit, awakening an inner landscape hidden within his body. He began exploring the strange realm and found a mysterious cluster of red light that seemed to draw him closer.

• Su Yu arrived at the Body Sect's Heaven Dou City manor, where the one-armed steward welcomed him and introduced him to the disciples.
• The steward explained that Su Yu would wait for the sect master before preparing to hunt for his first soul ring, and gave him an advanced meditation method.
• Su Yu meditated and cultivated his three dantian martial souls together, sensing his spiritual power, soul power, and bloodline power interact.
• The three dantians overlapped in Su Yu's perception, causing him to enter a strange inner world that he believed existed within his body.
• Su Yu explored the gray, seemingly boundless space and discovered a glowing red mass of mysterious substance that drew him toward it.

Su Yu discovered that the inner landscape contained mysterious substances that strengthened his body, then worked out how to enter it again and use its faster time flow to speed up soul power circulation. He left the landscape with a method that increased his cultivation rate by half, though faster circulation strained his meridians.

• Su Yu absorbed a mass of mysterious substance in the inner landscape, triggering a fiery physical transformation and expelling black impurities from his body.
• Su Yu failed to reenter the inner landscape that night, but his body continued absorbing the red substance as he meditated.
• Su Yu reasoned that harmonizing his three dantians and merging essence, energy, and spirit were necessary to enter the inner landscape.
• Su Yu returned to the inner landscape, absorbed another mass of red substance, and discovered that time there passed about ten times faster than outside.
• Su Yu found he could direct his body's soul power from the inner landscape, but his meridians could not endure tenfold circulation, so he settled on a one-and-a-half-times speed.

Su Yu chose the Body Sect’s Vital Energy Secret Method to temper his body and succeeded on his first attempt under Du Busi’s guidance. Du Busi planned to monitor his progress and possibly add whale rubber to his meals, raising the possibility of a thousand-year first soul ring.

• After overusing his cultivation the previous night, Su Yu found his meridians too swollen to meditate and learned that Du Busi would teach him body-tempering methods.

• Su Yu released the vital energy into his body with precise control and completed his first attempt without injury.
• Du Busi praised Su Yu’s exceptional compatibility and said he would observe him before deciding whether to add whale rubber to his meals.

Su Yu used the Inner Landscape to push the Vital Energy Secret Method beyond his previous limits and discovered that red and blue mysterious substances could further improve and restore his body. Three months passed as he continued exploring the Inner Landscape.

• Du Busi gave Su Yu whale rubber and urged him to carry the Body Sect’s future.
• Su Yu returned to his room and practiced the Vital Energy Secret Method, then realized the Inner Landscape could help him control more vital energy.

• Su Yu combined the red substance with the secret method, enduring alternating sensations of cold and heat as his body was tempered and nourished.
• Su Yu found a blue substance that relieved his fatigue, then continued searching the Inner Landscape as three months passed.

After three months of body tempering, Su Yu traveled with Du Busi to the Star Dou Great Forest and absorbed a 2,600-year Golden Giant Ape as his first soul ring. The absorption succeeded, but Su Yu saw a dazzling golden light appear in his inner landscape.

• Du Busi judged that Su Yu could safely attempt a soul ring of up to 2,500 years and took him soul hunting.

• Su Yu used the red and blue substances in his inner landscape to assist the five-hour soul-ring absorption.
• Su Yu opened his eyes after the soul ring stabilized and saw a dazzling golden light in his inner landscape.

After absorbing the Golden Giant Ape’s Soul Ring, Su Yu discovered that its power had left a golden substance in his inner landscape, which he fused to gain the beast’s bloodline. He obtained the First Soul Skill, Golden Source, and transformed into a Golden Giant Ape, astonishing Du Busi.

• Su Yu traced the golden light from the Golden Giant Ape’s Soul Ring to a golden substance in his inner landscape and decided to fuse with it.
• After stockpiling red and blue substances to prepare, Su Yu endured intense pain as he fused with the golden substance and gained the Golden Giant Ape’s bloodline.
• Du Busi sensed the Golden Giant Ape’s bloodline in Su Yu and realized that absorbing Soul Rings might let him acquire Soul Beasts’ bloodlines.
• Su Yu recovered, told Du Busi that the fusion was complete, and examined his Soul Skill.
• Su Yu activated First Soul Skill, Golden Source, and transformed into a golden-furred, heavily protected form resembling the Golden Giant Ape’s Martial Soul Possession.

Su Yu learned that his Golden Giant Ape bloodline combined with his first Soul Skill to grant him an extraordinary enhancement. Outside Heaven Dou City, Du Busi recognized Bei Bei as Mu En’s descendant and turned hostile, while Bei Bei challenged Su Yu to fight someone his own age.

• Su Yu explained his doubled attributes to Du Busi, who attributed the effect to Su Yu’s 2,600-year first Soul Ring.
• Su Yu realized his Golden Giant Ape bloodline, gained through his Inner Landscape, combined with Golden Source to create the powerful effect.
• Yan Shaozhe rescued Tang Ya from the Iron Blood Sect, and the sect members withdrew rather than confront him.
• Du Busi and Su Yu encountered Yan Shaozhe, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei outside Heaven Dou City, where Du Busi recognized Tang Ya as a Tang Sect disciple.
• Bei Bei revealed that Mu En was his great-great-grandfather, provoking Du Busi’s killing intent and prompting Yan Shaozhe to warn of war between Shrek and the Body Sect.
• Bei Bei challenged Du Busi to send someone his own age to fight him, and Su Yu watched the confrontation.

Su Yu accepted Bei Bei’s challenge and overwhelmed him with the strength of his 2,600-year Soul Ring and Golden Source. After Du Busi drove Yan Shaozhe and the others away, Su Yu returned to the manor to explore his Golden Giant Ape bloodline.

• Su Yu agreed to fight Bei Bei, who revealed his rank nineteen cultivation and Yellow Soul Ring.
• Su Yu revealed his purple Soul Ring and activated Golden Source, shocking Bei Bei and Yan Shaozhe.
• Su Yu endured Bei Bei’s Thunder Dragon Claw, struck him down, and slammed him into the ground before leaving him curled up in pain.
• Du Busi taunted Bei Bei and ordered Yan Shaozhe, Tang Ya, and Bei Bei to leave.
• Su Yu returned to his room to explore the Golden Giant Ape bloodline while Du Busi left the manor with a stern expression.

Du Busi reflected on the hidden threat near Shrek and resolved to break through after his protégés underwent their second awakenings, while Su Yu explored his bloodline and prepared to pursue a ten-thousand-year second soul ring. Du Busi arranged for Su Yu’s senior brother and sister to join him in a few days to practice the secret art and awaken their martial souls.

• Du Busi considered why he had spared Yan Shaozhe and sensed a hidden Limit-level threat near Shrek, then vowed to enter seclusion after Aotian, Vina, and Su Yu underwent their second awakenings.
• Su Yu discovered that Golden Giant Ape bloodline source essence gathered near his mysterious golden substance, which governed bursts of power.
• Su Yu concluded that soul tools would consume too much time and chose to focus on cultivation instead.
• Du Busi brought Su Yu five-thousand-year whale rubber and said improved spiritual power could help him attempt a ten-thousand-year second soul ring.
• Du Busi told Su Yu that his senior brother and sister would arrive in a few days to nourish their bodies, practice the secret art, and undergo their second awakenings.

Su Yu learned that the Body Martial Soul Second Awakening drew on mental power and wondered whether the Body Sect’s secret technique could help him find mental hidden vaults in his Inner Landscape. After failing to locate them, he returned to excavating the Golden Giant Ape’s power, then joined Du Busi, Long Aotian, and Vina in the manor’s backyard two days later.

• Du Busi explained that Body Martial Soul Second Awakening used mental power to break the body’s limits and urged Su Yu to study the sect’s secret technique.
• Su Yu considered using the secret technique to explore mental hidden vaults in his Inner Landscape, potentially avoiding the risk of visiting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.
• Su Yu searched the Inner Landscape but found no mental-type mysterious substances, and he reasoned that a mental-attribute soul ring might guide him to them.
• Su Yu considered attaching a soul ring to his upper dantian martial soul but rejected the idea because dividing his physical development could make a ten-thousand-year second ring harder to achieve.
• Su Yu returned to excavating the Golden Giant Ape Bloodline Source Essence, and two days later he followed Du Busi to the manor’s backyard, where Long Aotian and Vina were waiting.

Du Busi explained the Body Sect’s secret method of second awakening to Su Yu, Long Aotian, and Vina, describing how an awakened guide helps disciples fuse spiritual power with their bodies. He began outlining the method’s requirements, leaving the details of the guidance unfinished.

• Du Busi introduced Vina’s and Long Aotian’s cultivation and explained their preparations for second awakening.
• Du Busi told Long Aotian and Vina that Su Yu was six years old and had already reached rank 16.
• Du Busi led Su Yu, Long Aotian, and Vina into a secret chamber to teach them the Body Sect’s second-awakening method.
• Du Busi explained that an elder or sect master who had already undergone second awakening had to cultivate the method and assist disciples.
• Du Busi said the method required a Gold Level guide whose martial soul’s coverage matched the disciple’s body parts.

Su Yu received Du Busi’s guidance on the secret method for a Body Martial Soul’s second awakening and entered the Inner Landscape as Du began guiding his lower dantian. The method’s pull made Su Yu’s consciousness feel drawn toward a specific place inside the Inner Landscape.

• Du Busi explained that his powerful guidance could diminish the role of a Soul Master’s will, leaving the quality of a second awakening largely dependent on the Body Martial Soul’s instincts.
• Su Yu suspected that the awakening involved mysterious powers in the Inner Landscape, not merely a fusion of mind and flesh.
• Du Busi used his second-awakening state to guide Long Aotian and Vina, then rested from the strain of the process.
• Du Busi guided Su Yu’s lower dantian while Su Yu entered the Inner Landscape in advance.
• Su Yu saw the Inner Landscape around him brighten like daylight and felt his consciousness being drawn toward a location within it.

Su Yu successfully underwent his martial soul second awakening after Du Busi guided him into his inner landscape, where his consciousness illuminated the darkness and expanded its perception. After recovering, Su Yu asked Du Busi to help him locate the regions corresponding to his middle and upper dantians, but Du Busi pointed out how exhausted his body was.

• Su Yu followed the guidance to the region of his inner landscape corresponding to his lower dantian, where his consciousness began to shine and expand.
• Su Yu's spiritual power surged into the inner landscape, activating mysterious substances and triggering his martial soul second awakening.
• Du Busi watched Su Yu's silver light silhouette appear and marveled that Su Yu had succeeded at level 20 on his first attempt.
• Su Yu noticed that the activated mysterious substances regenerated, then returned his consciousness to his body and woke up.
• Su Yu asked Du Busi to guide him to the regions corresponding to his middle and upper dantians, and Du Busi told him to check his weakened body's condition.

Su Yu completed the second awakening of all three of his dantian martial souls with Du Busi’s guidance, recovering between each attempt. He then asked to learn the sect’s secret art for guiding second awakenings, and Du Busi agreed to teach him its theory.

• Su Yu checked his depleted soul and spiritual power, then meditated alongside Du Busi to recover.
• Du Busi guided Su Yu through the second awakening of his middle dantian martial soul, and Su Yu’s silhouette quickly solidified.
• After recovering, Su Yu switched to his upper dantian martial soul and completed its second awakening with Du Busi’s help.
• Su Yu asked Du Busi to teach him the secret art used to guide another person’s second awakening, explaining that he wanted to explore its potential.
• Du Busi agreed that Su Yu could study the theory and took him to a private chamber, where he handed him a booklet.

Su Yu found a way to draw Bloodline Power into his inner landscape and use it to transform his blood and vital energy. After three days of breakthrough, he emerged with greatly condensed essence, energy, and spirit, and saw Du Busi waiting for him.

• Su Yu spent a month studying how to bring Soul Power and Bloodline Power into his inner landscape, but made no progress with Soul Power.
• While absorbing Golden Giant Ape Bloodline Source Essence, Su Yu realized he could use it to trace a path from his Lower Dantian into the inner landscape.
• Su Yu used spiritual power to draw a portion of his blood and vital energy into the inner landscape, then strengthened it with Bloodline Source Essence and mysterious golden and red substances until it condensed into Bloodline Power.
• Su Yu carried the new Bloodline Power back into his physical body, where it drove his blood and vital energy to circulate, and spent three days replenishing and transforming them.
• Su Yu emerged with a shrunken, withered body but greatly condensed essence, energy, and spirit, and found Du Busi waiting for him.

After condensing bloodline power, Su Yu explained his breakthrough to Du Busi and discovered that he could cultivate soul power inside his Inner Landscape, where time flowed ten times faster. He began considering how to grow strong enough to overcome Tang San and pursue godhood, but left those questions unresolved.

• Du Busi asked Su Yu how he had condensed bloodline power, and Su Yu described how invoking his martial soul's second awakening while using his first soul skill had led to the breakthrough.
• Du Busi listened closely, asked for more details, and left after checking Su Yu's depleted condition.
• Su Yu resumed cultivating and drew soul power into his Inner Landscape, joining the essence and spirit powers he had already brought there.
• Su Yu formed a body within the Inner Landscape and confirmed that soul power cultivated there transferred back to his physical body.
• Su Yu realized the Inner Landscape gave him tenfold cultivation speed and considered how to build enough strength to face Tang San and become a god.
• Su Yu spent a day thinking about his future cultivation before deciding to focus on raising his soul power and strengthening his foundations.

Su Yu advanced from rank 16 to rank 20 in a month and a half, then told Du Busi he expected to be ready for a ten-thousand-year second soul ring in another month. Du Busi examined Su Yu’s rapidly improving body and became interested in the mysterious state he experienced during meditation.

• Su Yu broke through to rank 20 after a month and a half of cultivation and astonished Du Busi with his speed.
• Du Busi examined Su Yu and found his foundation exceptionally solid, with soul power comparable in quality to a Soul Ancestor’s.
• Su Yu explained why he wanted to improve his physical condition before absorbing a ten-thousand-year second soul ring, and Du Busi accepted his resolve.
• Du Busi assumed Su Yu would need a year, but Su Yu said he expected to be ready in one month.
• Du Busi discovered Su Yu’s physical condition had improved greatly and asked what changes he experienced during meditation.
• Su Yu described seeing the mysteries of the human body but kept the details of the Inner Landscape to himself.

Su Yu asked Du Busi for more whale rubber and learned that supplies were limited, so Du Busi proposed hunting whale-type sea soul beasts in the deep sea. Su Yu accepted the plan and returned to cultivation, determined to obtain a sea soul beast soul ring early and grow strong enough to survive if Tang San noticed him.

• Su Yu asked Du Busi to increase his whale rubber allotment, explaining that he could digest it without suffering its harmful side effects.
• Du Busi said whale rubber was scarce but promised to gather enough for Su Yu's upcoming Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring attempt.
• Du Busi proposed searching the deep sea for Su Yu's second soul ring and hunting whale-type sea soul beasts for more whale rubber.
• Su Yu accepted, reasoning that whale-type soul beasts suited his dantian Martial Soul and that he should enter the deep sea before Tang San noticed him.
• Su Yu returned to his room and resumed cultivation, focusing on gaining enough strength to survive possible interference from Tang San.

Su Yu explored the inner landscape and discovered that he could extract mysterious substances from it into his lower dantian. He began testing how they worked outside the inner landscape, leaving himself enduring intense heat in his dantian.

• Su Yu considered using the inner landscape and a future rebirth Soul Skill to preserve his life, but concluded that becoming powerful was the best way to survive.
• Su Yu planned to seek a whale-type Soul Beast for his Second Soul Ring and investigate substances connected to space and Soul Power capacity.
• Su Yu moved Golden Giant Ape bloodline source essence from the inner landscape through his Martial Soul into his lower dantian, confirming that it could leave the inner landscape.
• Su Yu extracted a red substance and confirmed that mysterious substances from his body could be brought out, though he had no intention of giving them to others.
• Su Yu absorbed red substance within the inner landscape, then sent another portion directly into his lower dantian and endured prolonged, localized heat.

Su Yu discovered that the red substance could greatly toughen his dantian and began considering how this could help him form soul cores and increase his strength. He started tempering the rest of his lower dantian, while keeping his cultivation race against Huo Yuhao in mind.

• Su Yu examined his dantian after the burning pain faded and found that the tempered patch had become at least one tier tougher.
• Su Yu realized that fully tempering his dantian could make forming a soul core easier and decided that maximizing combat power at the same level was his main cultivation priority.
• Su Yu considered the danger of Huo Yuhao becoming a god before him and treated Tang San and Rong Nianbing as potential enemies unless their intentions changed.
• Su Yu theorized that a tough dantian might let him form soul cores more easily or store soul power of soul-core quality without forming one.
• Su Yu began transferring the red substance bit by bit into the remaining areas of his lower dantian.

Su Yu spent a month tempering his Dantian and Sea of Consciousness with mysterious substances, preparing to endure Soul Shock and absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Confident in his preparations, he left Heaven Dou City with Du Busi and continued cultivating as they traveled across the sea.

• Su Yu developed a routine of tempering several areas of his Dantian with red substance and used blue substance to ease fatigue, while discovering that the red substance burned through his meridians.
• Su Yu found that red substance could strengthen his Sea of Consciousness, giving him a way to protect his consciousness from Soul Shock despite his Spiritual Power growing too slowly.
• After a month of cultivation, Du Busi asked whether Su Yu was ready, and Su Yu said he was confident.
• Du Busi took Su Yu from Heaven Dou City to a harbor, rented a boat, then stored it and flew over the sea with Su Yu when its engine proved too weak.
• Su Yu kept cultivating in the inner landscape during the journey, and Du Busi marveled at his ability to cultivate under any circumstances.

Su Yu and Du Busi searched the deep sea for a suitable whale Soul Beast, and Su Yu chose a Heavenly Abyss Whale to strengthen his Dantian Tempering technique. After Du Busi nearly killed it, Su Yu finished it with a Soul Cannon and began absorbing its Soul Ring.

• Du Busi carried Su Yu to the deep-sea region in three days, where they searched for a whale Soul Beast.
• Su Yu spotted a Heavenly Abyss Whale and chose it as the ideal target for his Dantian Tempering technique.

• Su Yu fired a Soul Cannon into the whale's ruptured blowhole, killing it and producing an ink-black Soul Ring.
• Su Yu drew the Soul Ring toward himself and entered the state of the inner landscape.

Su Yu absorbed the Heavenly Abyss Whale’s soul ring, gained devouring and spatial substances, and learned his second soul skill, Whale Swallows All Things. He tested it against an Evil Spirit Orca and swallowed its axe-light attack, but the beast then unleashed a spatial skill that threatened him.

• Su Yu found devouring and spatial substances in his inner landscape, absorbed them, and discovered that the spatial substance expanded the space inside his dantian.
• Su Yu learned that his second soul skill, Whale Swallows All Things, could form a vortex to devour attacks or enemies, and asked Du Busi to find more whale-type sea soul beasts.
• Su Yu confronted a ten-thousand-year Evil Spirit Orca and used Whale Swallows All Things to swallow the beast’s axe-light attack.
• The enraged Evil Spirit Orca froze the surrounding space and began forming a cracked mirror around Su Yu, preparing a terrifying tearing attack.

Su Yu tested Whale Swallows All Things against the Evil Spirit Orca and discovered how its devouring mechanism could absorb and repurpose attacks. After Su Yu asked Du Busi to finish the fight, Du Busi killed the beast and found a soul bone in its tail.

• Su Yu's Whale Swallows All Things absorbed the spatial tearing force from the Evil Spirit Orca's attack and demonstrated its ability to use swallowed power to resist further attacks.
• Su Yu assessed that his high soul power and rapid cultivation let him use the mechanism-based soul skill effectively despite having only two rings.
• Du Busi watched Su Yu withstand the Evil Spirit Orca's attacks, but Su Yu asked him to kill the beast because his skill was not suited to finishing it off.
• Du Busi killed the Evil Spirit Orca with a dark green pillar of light and extracted the whale rubber from its skull.
• Du Busi sensed a strange fluctuation, opened the Evil Spirit Orca's tail, and discovered a soul bone inside.
