Chapter Summaries

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.
• Du Busi attacked the Heavenly Abyss Whale and brought it to the brink of death.
• 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.
