Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao settled in Haoyue City and turned his crafting skills into a thriving business by producing Spiritual Energy Lamps and potions. As he began experimenting with a Spiritual Power Vehicle, the merchant association's manager arrived with two young women.

• Huo Yuhao rented a courtyard in Haoyue City and bought materials and potion formulas to begin crafting.
• Huo Yuhao made and sold Spiritual Energy Lamps, whose popularity among the city's temple branches led him to increase production and raise the price.
• Huo Yuhao sold more than a hundred lamps and some Stamina Recovery Potions over a month, nearly doubling his savings.
• Huo Yuhao began developing a Spiritual Power Vehicle, but needed more time to adapt its design to the materials of the Holy Demon Continent.
• The merchant association's manager visited Huo Yuhao with two young women, one dressed as a knight and the other carrying a ledger.

Huo Yuhao negotiated deals with Li Xin and Lin Jialu to supply spiritual energy lamps in Haoyue City in exchange for trade access and equipment knowledge. After signing the agreements, he returned to developing his spiritual energy vehicle and remained busy for the next two or three months.

• The merchant association's steward introduced Li Xin and Lin Jialu to Huo Yuhao as the consul's daughter and the chief military officer's daughter.
• Li Xin asked Huo Yuhao to make longer-lasting spiritual energy lamps for the Knight Temple, while Lin Jialu offered to distribute his products through the Lin Family shops.

• Huo Yuhao and Lin Jialu signed their contract, with Li Xin as witness, and the two women invited him to visit or seek their help.
• Huo Yuhao returned to his workshop to work on the spiritual energy vehicle and stayed extremely busy for the next two or three months.

Huo Yuhao finished building a Spiritual Power Vehicle and let Li Xin and Lin Jialu test it, revealing that its spiritual-power speed needed better control. After discussing a speed limiter and receiving formulas and equipment designs from Lin Jialu, he agreed to give the Lin Family priority for the first batch once the vehicle was ready.

• Huo Yuhao completed a copper-framed Spiritual Power Vehicle that could be pedaled or driven by spiritual power.
• Li Xin tested the vehicle and found that spiritual power made it accelerate sharply, while Lin Jialu also found it difficult to control at high speed.
• Huo Yuhao proposed adding several speed settings so ordinary users could ride safely, and Li Xin suggested the city patrols might use the vehicles.
• Huo Yuhao cooked dinner for Li Xin and Lin Jialu, and Lin Jialu gave him five potion formulas and three equipment designs.
• Huo Yuhao said he would use the formulas and designs himself and promised the Lin Family priority for the first batch of vehicles after testing.

Huo Yuhao completed and sold Spiritual Power Vehicles while continuing his research and cultivation. Lin Jialu brought Magic Temple representatives to visit, and after recognizing Huo Yuhao’s Knight Temple Inheritance Ring, Deacon Li asked to speak with him alone.

• Huo Yuhao finished the Spiritual Power Vehicle, added a speed limiter and improved its tires, and sold each vehicle for a thousand gold coins despite limited production.

• Deacon Li asked Lin Jialu, Lin Yinjia, and Bai Yu to leave so he could speak with Huo Yuhao alone.

Huo Yuhao negotiated with Deacon Li for the Magic Temple to produce his inventions at prices ordinary people could afford, without paying him for the blueprints. He promised to develop weapons usable by ordinary soldiers within two months and asked for offensive equipment production to be jointly controlled by the Six Great Temples, a condition Deacon Li accepted.

• Deacon Li told Huo Yuhao that the Magic Temple wanted to buy the blueprints for his spiritual energy lamps and Spiritual Power Vehicles, offering either an outright payment or a share of sales.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to sell the blueprints without payment if the Magic Temple kept prices low enough for ordinary people to afford the equipment while still making a profit.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that he had plans for energy-storage devices and Magic Cannons that ordinary people could use without magic crystals.
• Huo Yuhao promised to make equipment capable of fighting second- and third-tier demons within two months, or give the Magic Temple the lamp and vehicle blueprints as compensation.
• Huo Yuhao asked for offensive equipment production to be jointly controlled by the Six Great Temples, with the Magic Temple providing essential alchemists, and Deacon Li agreed on the temple master's behalf.

Huo Yuhao agreed to work with the Magic Temple and spent two months developing a Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon prototype. After finishing the initial build, he prepared to present it for the Temple’s approval, leaving further improvements for later.

• Deacon Li left for the Magic Temple headquarters to report Huo Yuhao’s proposal for a research and development center.

• Huo Yuhao spent two months designing and building a Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon prototype with a copper-iron alloy base, a large turret, and a reinforced barrel inscribed with magic arrays.
• Huo Yuhao tested the cannon, found its initial power satisfactory, and considered powering it with Spiritual Energy, a Milk Bottle, or magic crystals.

Huo Yuhao completed a basic Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon and demonstrated it to Magic Temple Master Li Zhengzhi. The projectile stopped in midair just before reaching Li Zhengzhi, leaving the cannon’s power yet to be judged.

• Huo Yuhao finished the cannon’s initial design after two months of experiments, using magic crystals to power it.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Huo Yuhao that an expert had arrived at his courtyard.
• Huo Yuhao recognized the visitor as Li Zhengzhi, the Magic Temple’s ninth-tier master, who had come with Deacon Li to inspect the cannon.
• Huo Yuhao explained that ordinary people could operate the cannon and claimed its power exceeded their agreed requirements.
• Li Zhengzhi chose to test the cannon in the courtyard, and Huo Yuhao fired a projectile that stopped a meter in front of him.

Huo Yuhao demonstrated the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon to Li Zhengzhi and proposed upgrades and other magic equipment to help humanity resist the Demon Clan. Li Zhengzhi agreed to support cooperation among the Six Great Temples if Huo Yuhao produced a Sealed Milk Bottle within five months.

• Huo Yuhao fired the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon, and Li Zhengzhi stopped its projectile with a fine web of wind before catching it.
• Huo Yuhao described improvements that could let the cannon threaten Fifth and Sixth Tier demons, and Li Zhengzhi and Deacon Li tested the weapon themselves.
• Li Zhengzhi said a few cannons alone would not be enough to unite the Six Great Temples, so Huo Yuhao proposed a Sealed Milk Bottle that could replenish magic equipment's Spiritual Energy.
• Huo Yuhao explained that support professionals and young workers could help refill the bottles, and Li Zhengzhi praised his goal of uniting humanity against the Demon Clan.
• Li Zhengzhi promised full support for a large-scale magic equipment factory if Huo Yuhao produced a Sealed Milk Bottle within five months, and he offered rare materials for Huo Yuhao to choose from.

Huo Yuhao completed his Sealed Milk Bottle research and upgraded the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon before traveling to the Holy City for a meeting with the Six Great Temples. After arriving, he prepared to adjust his aura and plan his breakthrough to the Fifth Tier.

• Huo Yuhao developed a grade-three Sealed Milk Bottle and a limited grade-four version over three months, then upgraded the Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon with more powerful magic shells.
• Huo Yuhao packed the dismantled cannon and traveled by carriage from Haoyue City to the Holy City, cultivating along the way until his internal spiritual power reached two thousand points.
• Huo Yuhao met Yang Haohan at the Knight Temple, and Yang Haohan told him that Li Zhengzhi had praised his talent and wanted him as a Magic Temple disciple.
• Huo Yuhao refused to join the Magic Temple, and Yang Haohan told him to rest and stabilize his fluctuating aura before the next day's business.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told Huo Yuhao that the new Demon Hunt Squads had completed their assessment, and Huo Yuhao planned to break through to the Fifth Tier and choose a magical beast at the Knight Sacred Mountain.

Huo Yuhao demonstrated his Godly Zhuge Crossbow Cannon and Spiritual Energy storage equipment to the six temple masters, who agreed to build a joint factory near the Holy City. After settling the temples’ contributions and shares, they gave Huo Yuhao the authority to decide how to allocate the remaining five percent of the output.

• The six temple masters agreed to build the factory near the Holy City, with the Magic Temple providing alchemists and the other temples contributing funds, workers, and guards.
• The temple masters assigned twenty percent of the output to the Magic Temple and fifteen percent to each of the other five temples, then asked Huo Yuhao to decide how to distribute the remaining five percent.

Huo Yuhao entered seclusion at the Knight Temple to break through to the Fifth Tier by compressing his Spiritual Energy. He formed a Spiritual Core that continually absorbed ambient energy, then emerged as a third-rank Fifth Tier Earth Knight.

• The Six Great Temples arranged funding, workers, materials, and alchemists for the planned factory.
• Huo Yuhao began compressing his Spiritual Energy in a secret chamber and formed the first drops of Liquid Spiritual Power.

• Over three days, Huo Yuhao converted his Spiritual Energy into more than two thousand points of Liquid Spiritual Power as an ice crystal formed in his dantian.
• The Spiritual Energy vortex merged with Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Core, and he emerged with over twenty-six hundred total Spiritual Energy as a third-rank Fifth Tier Earth Knight.

After breaking through to the Fifth Tier, Huo Yuhao received advice from Yang Haohan and set out for Knight Sacred Mountain to seek a magical beast partner. The Assassin and Magic Temple leaders learned of his departure and considered their next moves.

• Yang Haohan congratulated Huo Yuhao on breaking the Knight Temple’s record and asked him to visit Knight Sacred Mountain for a magical beast partner.
• Yang Haohan warned Huo Yuhao that suitable ice-attribute beasts might be scarce and advised him to kill an unsuitable beast and try again if necessary.
• Huo Yuhao thanked Yang Haohan, packed his things, and left for Knight Sacred Mountain.
• Saint Moon learned that Huo Yuhao had gone north and ordered the Assassin Temple not to follow him into the Knight Temple’s forbidden area; he also learned Cai'er was nearing Exorcist Pass.
• Li Zhengzhi concluded that Huo Yuhao had reached the Fifth Tier and began considering what treasure could persuade him to join the Magic Temple.

Huo Yuhao arrived at Knight Sacred Mountain to seek a mount partner and met the elderly guardian who assessed his credentials and abilities. The guardian warned him that few mounts there would suit him, then sent him into the mountain with a token granting thirty days of access.

• Huo Yuhao climbed Knight Sacred Mountain on foot, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed a powerful formation and found no ice-attribute magical beasts nearby.
• Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm discussed relying on the ancient teleportation array and possibly searching for a suitable beast on Douluo Continent.
• Huo Yuhao reached the mountain’s formation, introduced himself to an old guardian, and presented the credential prepared by Yang Haohan.
• The guardian recognized Huo Yuhao as Yang Haoyu’s grandson, examined his age and talent, and noted that he had reached the fifth rank before age ten.
• The guardian gave Huo Yuhao a token for thirty days on the mountain, explained that he could also use the grand teleportation array, and sent him inside.

After finding no suitable mount on the Knight Sacred Mountain, Huo Yuhao joined five powerful, injured elders at an ancient teleportation array. They prepared to send him to another world to seek a magical beast partner, but warned that he could remain there for no longer than the time it took an incense stick to burn.

• Huo Yuhao explored the Knight Sacred Mountain for half a month but found no mount suited to his ice attribute.
• Huo Yuhao crushed his token and left the mountain, where the old man told him the elders had prepared the ancient teleportation array.
• The old man led Huo Yuhao to a cave, where four more elders waited beside the array.
• Huo Yuhao greeted the elders, recovered his strength through meditation, and prepared to enter the array.
• One-armed elder warned Huo Yuhao that he had to return within the time it took an incense stick to burn, and the elders began preparing to activate the array.

Huo Yuhao searched the magical-beast realm for a suitable partner while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helped him. Near the end of his strength, he found a powerful, multicolored ice-attribute presence that felt familiar and reached out to it.

• The five elders activated the teleportation array, sending Huo Yuhao's soul into a world where each point of light represented a magical beast.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm joined Huo Yuhao's search, but they rejected a destruction-attribute beast and numerous other candidates for weak bloodlines, poor compatibility, or unsuitable attributes.
• Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power dwindled as the search dragged on, and the five elders watched gravely without interrupting him.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed a familiar aura ahead, and Huo Yuhao found a powerful, multicolored point of light with the ice attribute and immense Spiritual Power.
• Huo Yuhao wondered whether the presence was an old acquaintance or an enemy, then directed his Spiritual Power toward it.

Huo Yuhao formed an Equal Contract with the Silver Dragon King, who appeared on the Holy Demon Continent as a weakened little girl named Gu Yuena. After she collapsed from exhaustion, the elders examined her and found her condition serious.

• Huo Yuhao recognized the mysterious voice as the Silver Dragon King and considered the benefits of making an Equal Contract with her.
• Gu Yuena told Di Tian to keep the Soul Beasts restrained while she entered deep seclusion, and he agreed to follow her instructions.
• The five elders maintained the teleportation array until Huo Yuhao completed his contract, and Gu Yuena appeared before him as a little girl.
• Gu Yuena introduced herself to Huo Yuhao, then collapsed, and he caught her before she hit the ground.
• Huo Yuhao stopped the elders from intervening by explaining that Gu Yuena was a magical beast in human form, but their Spiritual Energy examination left them grave.

Huo Yuhao risked his life to save Gu Yuena by exchanging blood so her body could adapt to the Holy Demon Continent. Gu Yuena awakened, advanced three levels, and returned some of her blood to him before they both collapsed and the elders treated them.

• The elders explained that Gu Yuena could survive only if Huo Yuhao used their Equal Contract to replace at least a third of her blood with his, severely depleting his vitality.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to the exchange, and the elders activated the contract as he cut his wrist and dripped blood into it.
• Gu Yuena's color and breathing improved, while six-colored light appeared on the contract and Huo Yuhao's blood loss passed thirty percent.
• Gu Yuena awakened as Huo Yuhao neared fifty percent blood loss, absorbed spiritual energy, and rose three levels to become a second-tier professional.
• Gu Yuena cut her wrist and used the contract to give blood back to Huo Yuhao, then fainted into his arms; the elders treated them both and let them rest.

While unconscious, Huo Yuhao explored changes in his Sea of Consciousness and learned that the Silver Dragon King’s blood transfusion had given him affinity with six basic elements. He planned to ask her to apologize to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and teach him magic, but whether she would agree remained uncertain.

• Huo Yuhao discovered five new colors merging into the blue-gold region of his Sea of Consciousness, and the sleeping Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Evil Emperor, Xiao Bai, Ba Jiao, and Li Ya were awakening faster.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed that the Silver Dragon King had absorbed more than ninety percent of his cultivation and life origins, explaining why she had seemed familiar.
• Huo Yuhao promised to ask the Silver Dragon King to apologize, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged him not to risk their Equal Contract over the matter.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that the Silver Dragon King’s elemental blood transfusion had given Huo Yuhao affinity with six basic elements, though his physique had changed little.
• Huo Yuhao realized the Silver Dragon King could guide him in learning the other five types of magic, but wondered whether she would be willing.

After waking in the cave, Huo Yuhao discovered that his Spiritual Core now contained all six attributes and worried about balancing them. Gu Yuena offered to help with her blood, but Huo Yuhao refused and explained the Equal Contract and the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts; he promised to teach her about the Holy Demon Continent and left her to learn how to live among humans.

• Huo Yuhao woke in the cave with Gu Yuena asleep on his chest and found that his Spiritual Core had changed to contain six attributes.
• Gu Yuena warned Huo Yuhao that balancing all six attributes would slow his cultivation and offered to help if he told her about the Holy Demon Continent and relations between Soul Beasts and humans.
• Huo Yuhao said humans and Soul Beasts could cooperate and suggested that Spirit Pagoda Soul Rings might eventually let human Soul Masters avoid taking physical Soul Rings.
• Gu Yuena offered her blood as a way to balance Huo Yuhao's attributes, but he refused because their Equal Contract meant the transfusion would harm her origin.
• Huo Yuhao explained that humans and Soul Beasts both sought to use one another as resources, then promised to teach Gu Yuena about the continent and told her to observe and learn while living among humans.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena left Knight Sacred Mountain and traveled toward the Holy City, with Huo Yuhao explaining the Holy Demon Continent and proposing that Gu Yuena pose as his younger sister. After two months on the road, Gu Yuena had reached level four and they arrived at the Holy City.

• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena left Knight Sacred Mountain, where the five elders provided them with a carriage for their journey.
• Huo Yuhao told Gu Yuena about the Demon Clan's dominance of the Holy Demon Continent and humanity's reliance on six strongholds.
• Huo Yuhao suggested Gu Yuena disguise herself as a human and introduce herself as his younger sister, and she agreed to use the name Gu Yuena.
• Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena promised to return to the Douluo Continent together and resolve the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts.

• After two months on the road, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena arrived at the Holy City.
