After transmigrating into the world of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Ling Yi discovered a system that let him cultivate martial arts automatically. He learned three Liyang Sect techniques in moments and began practicing, leaving the sect with a possible new heir to its legacy.

• Ling Yi’s sword practice revealed the power of the Liyang Heart Sutra, leaving Zhao Dongli and Yao Tianhe stunned as he trained for four hours and transformed the courtyard.
• Zhao Dongli offered Ling Yi the position of sect leader, and Ling Yi accepted after learning the sect had no money for more than watery noodle soup.

As the Liyang Sect rose to power on Mount Lu, Ling Yi built a formidable sect and explored new abilities of his growing Yang Soul. With the wider Jianghu sending experts to investigate and the Smiling, Proud Wanderer plot underway, Ling Yi decided it was time to get involved.

• Old Yue heard reports of the Liyang Sect’s rise and decided to investigate Mount Lu himself, while sending Yue Chong to Mount Heng City.
• The Liyang Sect completed its compound atop Mount Lu, recruited hundreds of outer disciples, and named Zhao Dongli and the other twelve Innate experts the Thirteen Grand Protectors.

• Ling Yi used his Yang Soul to control and strengthen more than a hundred wild beasts, and each of the Thirteen Grand Protectors received an enhanced beast.
• Ling Yi spent 2,000 points to upgrade the Passive Cultivation Aura to level two, then recognized that his Yang Soul could affect reality directly.
• Ling Yi decided to go out and called Zhao Dongli to the great hall.

• Ling Yi doubled Old Yue's Yang Soul power, advancing him from Peak Acquired to Middle Xiantian, then told him to return to Mount Hua.

Ling Yi spared Yu Canghai so Lin Pingzhi could avenge his family himself, then traveled south and upgraded his Passive Cultivation Aura. While waiting in Mount Heng City for his cultivation methods to fuse, he confronted a Shaolin monk and threatened to destroy the Buddhist School.

• Ling Yi offered Lin Pingzhi the choice of killing Yu Canghai himself after gaining strength, and Lin Pingzhi chose to seek revenge for his family and the Fuwei Escort Agency.
• Ling Yi strengthened Lin Pingzhi’s Yang Soul and left, while Lin Pingzhi headed for the Liyang Sect and Yu Canghai returned to the Qingcheng Sect.

• Ling Yi settled at an inn in Mount Heng City to wait for his cultivation methods to fuse and listened to Jianghu gossip.
• An old monk from Shaolin approached Ling Yi to persuade him toward Buddhism, but Ling Yi condemned the Buddhist School and threatened to kill Fangzheng and destroy it.

After his cultivation methods finished merging, Ling Yi reached the early Grandmaster Realm and set out for Mount Song to challenge Shaolin. He struck the assembled Shaolin and Mount Song forces, then faced Fangzheng and the others as they charged him.

• Seven days after the final cultivation-method fusion completed, Ling Yi’s strength rose to the early Grandmaster Realm, though Earth Grade martial arts fusion remained at one percent.
• After nearly half a month at the inn, Ling Yi left for Mount Song to carry out his threat against Shaolin, and Dongfang Bai followed him.
• Many Jianghu figures also traveled to Mount Song, where Shaolin had joined forces with the Mount Song Sect to face Ling Yi.
• Ling Yi mocked Fangzheng, Fangsheng, and Zuo Lengchan before unleashing a giant palm that swept away their disciples and blasted a handprint-shaped hole through the Mount Song Sect’s wall.
• Fangzheng urged the others to attack Ling Yi, and Ling Yi summoned hundreds of frosty giant palms as they charged.

Ling Yi destroyed the Mount Song and Shaolin compounds, then spent two years traveling with Dongfang Bai and Yilin while growing stronger and reshaping the Jianghu. Unable to earn enough points to take Dongfang Bai to another world, he told her he had to leave, and she asked whether he could return.

• Ling Yi defeated the remaining Mount Song and Shaolin disciples, flattened both sect compounds with Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, and left as Jianghu onlookers discussed joining the Liyang Sect.

Ling Yi settled into an ordinary modern world and waited for Xia Luo’s story to unfold, but grew annoyed when Xia Luo publicly confessed to Qiu Ya. He visited Ma Dongmei’s home and claimed he wanted to help develop her singing, leaving her and her mother skeptical.

• Ling Yi reflected on the world of Xia Luo's Special Troubles and decided to spend his time there as a PE teacher until the plot began.
• Xia Luo returned to school after recovering from his broken leg and publicly confessed his love to Qiu Ya.
• Ma Dongmei went home heartbroken after Xia Luo confessed to Qiu Ya and shut herself in her room without eating.
• Ling Yi visited Ma Dongmei’s home and told her mother that he had heard Ma Dongmei sing and believed she showed promise.
• Ma Dongmei’s mother questioned whether Ma Dongmei’s singing could have any promise, while Ling Yi privately insisted he could use his cheats to make it so.

Ling Yi transformed Ma Dongmei’s voice, signed her to the talent agency he hastily established, and trained her for a singing career. He then began preparing her to debut with an opera-pop song inspired by a troupe that sacrificed itself against invaders, leaving the story as he started singing it.

• Ling Yi used his Spiritual Power to strengthen Ma Dongmei’s Yang Soul and reshape her throat, revealing her newly beautiful singing voice.
• Ling Yi promised to train Ma Dongmei, offered her a five-million annual salary, and persuaded her and her mother to sign with his company.
• Ling Yi established the company, paid Ma Dongmei’s family half the promised salary, and spent the next half month teaching her music and vocal techniques.
• Ling Yi explained that Ma Dongmei’s debut song would combine opera and pop, then told her the story of an opera troupe that burned itself and the invaders in its theater.
• Ling Yi became absorbed in the story and began singing about the troupe’s performers, their art, and their sacrifice.

Ling Yi helped Ma Dongmei launch her singing career, then spent ten years traveling and reflecting before leaving Xia Luo’s world. He arrived in the Dragon Balls world, where his cultivation began rising again and he worried about the risks of random transmigration.

Ling Yi’s Passive Cultivation Aura surged in the Dragon Balls World, raising him to Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection and giving him a Battle Power of 1,500,000. After accidentally causing a tsunami that wrecked Krillin’s boat, Ling Yi took him toward Kame House to meet Master Roshi.

• Ling Yi lifted Krillin into the air and flew with him toward Kame House, hoping to meet Master Roshi and learn about the world’s cultivation methods.

Ling Yi judged the Dragon Balls World's cell-based martial arts crude and taught Krillin a cultivation method that circulated Qi through meridians and Dantians. Krillin rapidly surpassed Master Roshi, while Ling Yi turned his attention to upgrading his Passive Cultivation Aura and unlocking more auras.

• Master Roshi questioned Ling Yi about the tsunami, and Ling Yi asked him to demonstrate his martial arts.

• After investigating for half a year, Ling Yi concluded that the Kai and Kami system governed the living, Heaven and the Underworld governed the dead, and the Demon Realm was a separate dimension sustained by negative energy.
• Ling Yi reviewed his growing power and resources but avoided visiting Heaven, the Underworld, or Kami's Lookout, deciding to stay inconspicuous and let Krillin handle problems.

Krillin won the World Martial Arts Tournament, then joined Goku and the others to face King Piccolo’s forces. As Ling Yi went ahead to study Piccolo’s abilities, Yamcha and Tien Shinhan were badly injured in their opening fights, leaving Goku to challenge Piccolo next.
