Chapter Summaries

Mu Qingluan gave Xiao Yan a jade token identifying him as a Starfall Pavilion disciple and assured him she would protect him. Moved by the kindness he found at the pavilion, Xiao Yan resolved to return if it ever needed him, then explored its cultivation area and reached the entrance to the Star Realm.

• Mu Qingluan showed Xiao Yan the fellowship among Starfall Pavilion disciples as they walked through the residential area.
• Mu Qingluan gave Xiao Yan a jade token that let him enter the Star Realm and Dou Technique Pavilion, and promised to stand up for him as his senior sister.
• Xiao Yan felt a sense of belonging and resolved to return to help Starfall Pavilion if it ever needed him.
• Xiao Yan headed to the cultivation area and watched disciples spar on a martial arts platform.
• Xiao Yan continued past the platform and arrived at the entrance to the Star Realm.

Xiao Yan entered the Star Realm, discovered how its pure Starfall Power affected his Soul Power, and settled into a secluded cultivation chamber. After examining the chamber’s protective formation and reviewing the Soul Refining Technique, he began cultivating with the Starfall Power.

• Xiao Yan sensed and absorbed Starfall Power at the Star Realm’s entrance, finding that it refined into Soul Power while leaving a faint starlike trace in his meridians.
• Xiao Yan explored the Star Platforms and chose a secluded, vacant cultivation chamber.
• Xiao Yan inserted Mu Qingluan’s white jade token into the chamber’s formation, activating a barrier that protected his privacy.
• Xiao Yan inspected the barrier with his Spiritual Soul Power, then sat in the chamber’s cultivation area and reviewed the Soul Refining Technique.
• Xiao Yan regulated his breathing and began absorbing Starfall Power, refining it into Soul Power as its faint property accumulated in his meridians.

Xiao Yan consolidated his level-sixty-five strength in the Star Realm and learned the Startling Soul Spike before visiting the Dou Technique Pavilion to seek a way to fly. He found an incomplete Flying Dou Technique called Green Bat Wings, but it required wind-attribute Dou Qi.

• Xiao Yan used Starfall Power and the Mystic Spirit Nourishing Rhyme Pill's effects to consolidate his level-sixty-five foundation and strengthen his meridians.
• Xiao Yan cultivated the Startling Soul Spike, a concealed soul attack, and tested it against the Star Platform's formation.
• Xiao Yan left the Star Realm and went to the Dou Technique Pavilion to find a Flying Dou Technique that could improve on his Twin Flame Wings.
• Xiao Yan found the dusty, incomplete Green Bat Wings scroll, which could grant swift flight but required wind-attribute Dou Qi.

Xiao Yan adapted the Green Bat Wings’ energy circulation to his Twin Flame Wings, gaining effortless flight with reduced Soul Power consumption. As he prepared to leave Starfall Pavilion, Venerable Feng summoned him and produced a strange dark green stone.

• Xiao Yan used the Green Bat Wings’ methods and the Green-Winged Bat King’s wing bone to incorporate a new energy circulation route into his Twin Flame Wings.
• After nearly a month of practice, Xiao Yan made his wings more responsive and flew under his own power.
• Xiao Yan decided to leave Starfall Pavilion because he was worried about Zhu Zhuqing on the Douluo Continent.
• Venerable Feng summoned Xiao Yan to the Starfall Great Hall, praised his recovery, and said he had looked after him because of the old fellow who had passed down his Heavenly Flames and Radiant Heaven World-Burning Spear.
• Venerable Feng warned Xiao Yan that unexpected dangers could arise and showed him a dark green stone with a powerful, restrained energy fluctuation.

Venerable Feng gave Xiao Yan a stone containing his full-force strike and wind-attribute origin power before Xiao Yan left Starfall Pavilion. After bidding farewell to Mu Qingluan, Xiao Yan opened a passage to the Douluo Continent and stepped through, determined to return to Bibi Dong.

• Venerable Feng gave Xiao Yan a stone that could unleash one full-force strike and passively enhance his speed and flight.
• Xiao Yan accepted the stone with gratitude, and Venerable Feng quietly wondered about an old fellow’s condition.
• Mu Qingluan reminded Xiao Yan to return to Starfall Pavilion if he needed anything, and Xiao Yan left the small world.
• Xiao Yan used his sixth Soul Skill, Gate of the Mystic Realm, to open a spatial passage to the Douluo Continent.
• Xiao Yan stepped through the gateway, saying he had returned to Bibi Dong, and the passage closed behind him.

Bibi Dong learned that Spirit Hall had failed to find Zhu Zhuqing for a year, then sensed Xiao Yan returning to the Pope's Palace. Xiao Yan arrived in the hall and narrowly dodged Bibi Dong's sudden attack, leaving them face to face.

• Yue Guan reported that Spirit Hall had been unable to find Zhu Zhuqing despite searching for a year.

• Bibi Dong sensed a spatial fluctuation from the Pope's Palace and hurried there with Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
• Xiao Yan emerged from a spatial rift in the Pope's Palace and recognized the Douluo Continent as his homeland.
• Bibi Dong appeared before Xiao Yan and attacked him with a black blade of light, but he dodged it.

Xiao Yan returned to the Pope's Palace after nearly a year, and Bibi Dong confronted him, intent on learning about the other world and its cultivation system. He escaped her first attack with his flames and flew toward the sky, but Bibi Dong launched a net of attacks to stop him as Yue Guan and Gui Mei watched.

• Bibi Dong sensed Xiao Yan's growth to level sixty-five and the threat hidden in his power.
• Bibi Dong revealed her nine Soul Rings and demanded that Xiao Yan tell her about the other world.
• Bibi Dong struck the floor with her scepter, sending black blades toward Xiao Yan.
• Xiao Yan used the Bone Spirit Cold Flame and Green Lotus Core Flame to propel himself through the palace doors and into the sky.
• Bibi Dong sent a dense wave of attacks after Xiao Yan, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei arrived and watched, certain he could not escape.

Xiao Yan used a mysterious stone to unleash powerful wind energy and escape Bibi Dong’s attack, revealing speed beyond Gui Mei’s. Bibi Dong became determined to capture him and seize the secrets of his power and the other world.

• Xiao Yan activated a blue-black stone, and its wind power expanded his flame wings and wrapped him in a vortex.
• Xiao Yan used the wind vortex’s speed to evade Bibi Dong’s attack and appear high above the Pope’s Palace.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei were astonished by Xiao Yan’s speed, and Gui Mei admitted that Xiao Yan was faster than he was.
• Bibi Dong considered the power Xiao Yan had brought from another world and resolved to capture him to obtain its secrets.

Xiao Yan used Venerable Feng’s wind power to evade Bibi Dong, then unleashed the all-out strike sealed in a stone above Spirit City. The enormous sword radiance hung over the city, leaving everyone beneath it in fear of its destructive power.

• Bibi Dong teleported behind Xiao Yan and tried to claw him, but he vanished before she could reach him.
• Xiao Yan used Venerable Feng’s wind-attribute power to move away from Bibi Dong and taunted her while calculating how little time his borrowed speed would last.
• Xiao Yan decided not to flee and poured his Soul Power into the cracked stone to activate Venerable Feng’s sealed strike.
• A vast pressure erupted across Spirit City, forcing Soul Masters throughout the city to look up at Xiao Yan.
• The stone released a colossal cyan sword radiance that nearly blotted out half the sky above Spirit City.

A cyan sword strike released by Xiao Yan threatened to destroy Spirit City, forcing Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei to combine their strongest defenses. Qian Daoliu watched from the Elder Hall, confident Bibi Dong could protect the city as the strike hung in the sky.

• Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire representatives, Spirit Hall officials, and sect delegates panicked as the enormous cyan sword threatened to erase Spirit City.
• Bibi Dong recognized that the sword’s power exceeded Xiao Yan’s own and called Yue Guan and Gui Mei to defend the city.
• Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei simultaneously unleashed their Martial Soul Avatars and prepared layered defenses against the strike.
• Qian Daoliu observed the battle from the Elder Hall and chose not to intervene, believing Bibi Dong could withstand the attack.
• Yue Guan formed a golden flower shield, Gui Mei spread a net of darkness and tentacles, and Bibi Dong wove a vast web of venomous spider silk.

Xiao Yan unleashed Venerable Feng’s sword strike at the Pope’s Palace to force Bibi Dong and the other Titled Douluo to defend Spirit Hall’s center, then fled. Bibi Dong and the two Douluo survived the attack, but the palace was devastated and they were injured.

• Xiao Yan sent Venerable Feng’s enormous cyan sword ray toward the Pope’s Palace, aiming to distract Spirit Hall’s defenders and damage its prestige.
• As the sword descended, Xiao Yan flew away from Spirit City while its residents watched the attack.
• Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei joined forces to resist the sword, while Spirit Hall’s bishops raised a barrier that protected the city from the shockwave.
• The collision destroyed most of the Pope’s Palace and shattered Yue Guan’s and Gui Mei’s Martial Soul Avatars, injuring both Douluo.
• Bibi Dong’s Spider Spears broke under the sword Qi, but her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring dispersed the remaining attack, leaving her standing amid the ruins.

After Xiao Yan injured Bibi Dong and escaped Spirit City, she sent Yue Guan and Gui Mei to capture him while she stayed behind to stabilize Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu chose not to intervene, and news of the battle began spreading across the continent.

• Bibi Dong recovered from her injuries enough to order Yue Guan and Gui Mei to pursue Xiao Yan and bring him back alive if possible.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei accepted Bibi Dong's order and raced after Xiao Yan, driven by the desire to obtain the secrets behind his power.
• Envoys, spies, and sect representatives in Spirit City witnessed the aftermath and sent word of the battle across the continent.
• Qian Daoliu reflected on Xiao Yan's otherworldly power and questioned whether Yue Guan and Gui Mei could catch him, but decided the pursuit was not his concern.
• Qian Daoliu returned to meditation beneath the Six-Winged Angel statue as Spirit City remained in turmoil.

Xiao Yan fled Spirit City while Yue Guan and Gui Mei pursued him, waiting for Venerable Feng’s remaining power to fade. As his speed dwindled, Xiao Yan weighed the danger of being caught against the possibility of fighting the injured Titled Douluo.

• Xiao Yan raced across the plain on flaming wings, using Venerable Feng’s origin power to escape Spirit City after his devastating sword strike.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei chased Xiao Yan, relieved they had survived his attack but determined to capture him alive for the secrets he possessed.
• The pursuers watched Xiao Yan’s wind-attribute power weaken and maintained their distance while they waited for it to run out.
• Xiao Yan recognized that Yue Guan and Gui Mei had locked onto him and could not be shaken by flight alone as his wings shrank and his speed fell.
• Xiao Yan considered fighting the two injured Titled Douluo, who could bring only about sixty percent of their full strength to bear.

Xiao Yan fled into the Star Dou Great Forest, hoping its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would distract Yue Guan and Gui Mei. The two Spirit Hall elders pursued him into the forest despite the danger, and all three neared its core region.

• Xiao Yan changed course and entered the Star Dou Great Forest to use its dangerous terrain and powerful Soul Beasts against his pursuers.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei hesitated at the forest's edge, knowing the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape could threaten even Titled Douluo.
• Gui Mei ordered them to pursue Xiao Yan quickly, fearing Bibi Dong's punishment if they failed and hoping to claim the secrets he carried.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei entered the forest, with Yue Guan flying ahead and Gui Mei slipping through the shadows.
• Xiao Yan raced toward the core region while the two elders followed, and after half an hour all three approached the heart of the forest.

Xiao Yan, fleeing Yue Guan and Gui Mei, encountered the Titan Giant Ape at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest’s core region. He tried to turn the beast’s hostility toward his pursuers, and the Titan Giant Ape recognized him and was surprised by how much stronger he had become.

• The Titan Giant Ape charged out of the forest, scattering trees and forcing Xiao Yan to dodge its impact.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei stopped to face the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, shaken by its overwhelming strength.
• The Titan Giant Ape warned the humans to leave its territory.
• Xiao Yan told the Titan Giant Ape that Yue Guan and Gui Mei had chased him into the forest and refused to stop.
• The Titan Giant Ape recognized Xiao Yan from their past encounter and was surprised that he had advanced so much in only a few years.

The Titan Giant Ape rejected Yue Guan and Gui Mei’s request to take Xiao Yan and attacked them instead. Xiao Yan stayed out of the battle, waiting for the clash to leave him a chance to escape.

• The Titan Giant Ape sensed that Xiao Yan’s wind-attribute power came from a temporary external trump card and was weakening.
• Yue Guan tried to persuade the Titan Giant Ape to let him and Gui Mei take Xiao Yan away, promising they would leave the Star Dou Great Forest at once.
• The Titan Giant Ape leapt onto the tree where Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood, forcing them to dodge and injuring them further with the shockwave.
• The Titan Giant Ape declared that it would fight the two injured Titled Douluo itself and began preparing to attack them again.
• Xiao Yan recognized that the Titan Giant Ape had tied down his pursuers, retreated several hundred feet, and waited for a safer moment to escape.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei struggled against the Titan Giant Ape, whose overwhelming strength badly injured them both. They unleashed the Two Extremes Stillness Domain to freeze it, surprising Xiao Yan with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

• The Titan Giant Ape battered Yue Guan with a single punch, sending him crashing through trees and leaving him bleeding.
• Gui Mei bound the Titan Giant Ape with Ghost Qi tentacles, but it snapped them and sent him flying with a sweeping kick.
• The Titan Giant Ape mocked the injured Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who realized they had to stop fighting defensively.
• Yue Guan and Gui Mei unleashed the Two Extremes Stillness Domain, halting the Titan Giant Ape as it entered the domain.
• Xiao Yan watched the Titan Giant Ape freeze and was surprised that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Xiao Yan watched Yue Guan and Gui Mei’s fight against the Titan Giant Ape turn against them when the Sky Azure Bull Python joined in. After the two injured Titled Douluo fled, Xiao Yan faced the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and cautiously introduced himself.

• The Titan Giant Ape began breaking free of Yue Guan and Gui Mei’s Two Extremes Stillness Domain through brute strength.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python appeared and attacked Yue Guan and Gui Mei with a stream of extreme cold, forcing Gui Mei to abandon the domain.
• The freed Titan Giant Ape struck Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and they used a secret method to suppress their injuries and flee.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python, whom the Titan Giant Ape called Da Ming, warned that humans who trespassed in the core region would face this consequence.
• Xiao Yan chose not to pursue Yue Guan and Gui Mei, then descended and thanked the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python while secretly preparing to escape if they attacked.

Xiao Yan prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest after the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python drove Yue Guan and Gui Mei away, but he sensed someone familiar approaching. Xiao Wu reunited with him and told Er Ming that Xiao Yan had once defended her in Spirit City.

• The Sky Azure Bull Python ordered Xiao Yan to leave the forest, and Xiao Yan prepared to fly away and search for Zhu Zhuqing.
• Xiao Yan sensed a familiar presence approaching and heard Xiao Wu ask Da Ming and Er Ming about the fight.
• Er Ming gently caught Xiao Wu on his palm, and Xiao Yan recognized her as she recognized him in return.
• Er Ming warned Xiao Wu as she moved toward Xiao Yan, revealing that the Soul Beasts had treated Xiao Yan differently because of her.
• Xiao Wu reassured Er Ming and told him that Xiao Yan was not a bad person because he had stood up for her when Bibi Dong tried to attack her in Spirit City.

Xiao Yan reunited with Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Great Forest and explained how he had escaped Spirit Hall, while she told him that Tang San had been taken away to cultivate. After discussing their ties to Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, Xiao Yan said goodbye to Xiao Wu and resumed searching for Zhu Zhuqing.

• Xiao Wu recognized Xiao Yan and explained that he had once helped her when she was helpless, easing Da Ming and Er Ming's suspicion of him.
• Xiao Yan told Xiao Wu that a senior's stored power had saved his life, but the power was now spent and Spirit Hall was hunting him.
• Xiao Wu explained that Tang Hao had taken Tang San away to cultivate and sent her back to the Star Dou Great Forest for her safety.
• Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu discussed Yu Xiaogang's betrayal and the possibility that Xiao Yan and Tang San would eventually oppose each other.
