• Su Yun confirmed that the world was Battle Through the Heavens and recalled the recipe for Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid from his memories.

Su Yun explored a cave in Qingshan Town, recovered its treasures, and honored the remains of Ye Fan before returning to the Douluo Continent. He absorbed a Thousand-Year Soul Ring and raised his Soul Power to rank seventeen, while preparing to fuse with the Purple Cloud Wings later.

• Su Yun found Ye Fan’s cave, paid respects to his remains, and took the treasures while leaving the deadly Seven-Colored Poison Scripture behind.
• Su Yun placed Ye Fan’s body in a coffin so he could return it to the Ye Family when he was strong enough to travel to the Central Plains.

After gaining Black Flame Control and greatly strengthened mental power, Su Yun visited Su An, the Su Clan’s elderly Soul Douluo ancestor, and revealed his Thousand-Year First Soul Ring.

• Su Yun requested control of all the Su Clan’s resources, and Su An quickly agreed to bear the consequences of the gamble.

Su Yun secured the Su Clan ancestor’s support by promising to help him become a Titled Douluo, then tested whether Dou Qi cultivators could absorb Soul Bones. After proving they could, he went to the Alchemist Guild to seek wealthy buyers for Soul Bones and trade them for pills.

• Su Yun asked the Su Clan ancestor for a Soul Bone to test and told him to seek a mental-type Head Soul Bone valued by how much mental power it granted.
• The Su Clan ancestor practiced Su Yun’s Earth Class cultivation technique and lamented that his age left him little chance of reaching Level 90.
• Su Yun promised to make the ancestor a Titled Douluo, and the ancestor offered to confirm him as young clan chief and step down from supreme elder to grand elder.
• The ancestor gave Su Yun his authority token, and Su Yun took a poor-quality Soul Bone from the clan treasury.
• Su Yun captured an unlucky passerby and proved that someone who cultivated Dou Qi could absorb a Soul Bone.
• Su Yun went to the Alchemist Guild to seek Gu He or Fa Ma as buyers for Soul Bones in exchange for pills.

Su Yun demonstrated his alchemy to Gu He and traded a Soul Bone for pills, magical beast cores, and Gu He's help. Gu He agreed to the deal and promised him a favor, though the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill recipe would come later.

• A Misty Cloud Sect disciple told Gu He that a thirteen-year-old first-tier alchemist wanted to meet him, and Liu Ling doubted the claim until Gu He calmed him and went to see Su Yun.

• Su Yun proposed a trade for magical beast cores, Dou Ling Pills, Fifth-Tier Pulse-Protecting Pills, Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pills, and the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill recipe.
• Gu He offered more items than Su Yun had requested, explained the Soul Bone’s value, and promised to help Su Yun once; he said he would provide the recipe later.

Su Yun devised a way to help his sister obtain a powerful External Soul Bone and arranged for the Su Clan elders to advance. He then asked Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan to escort him to the Snake-People Empire, offering future alchemy rewards as payment, and Jia Xingtian weighed the danger.

• Su Yun inspected the pills and Magic Cores, planning to help the Su Clan's supreme elder reach Titled Douluo and support three elders in becoming Soul Douluos.
• Su Yun considered how to strengthen Su Qingxue's Soul Ring configuration and realized a willing Soul Beast might provide the spiritual-power External Soul Bone she needed before becoming a Soul Spirit.
• Su Yun connected the Snake-People Tribe's soul-merging method to Soul Spirits and identified the ten-thousand-year Purple Lightning Netherworld Python as a potential match for the Su Clan's cloud Martial Soul.
• Su Yun delivered the items to the Su Clan, arranged for its senior members to break through, and returned to the Battle Through the Heavens World.
• Su Yun told Jia Xingtian and Yun Shan that he would not join either faction and offered them future pills and alchemy services to escort him to the Snake-People Empire to meet Queen Medusa.
• Jia Xingtian questioned whether the promised rewards justified the immediate risk, and Su Yun answered that fortune was found amid danger.

Jia Xingtian argued that Su Yun’s promises of future alchemist favors were too uncertain to justify a dangerous trip to the Snake-People Empire, and his warnings made Yun Shan hesitate. Remembering his younger self, Yun Shan rejected that caution and agreed to accompany Su Yun.

• Jia Xingtian warned Yun Shan that Su Yun’s offer depended on becoming a Seventh-Grade Alchemist and would require costly support without any guaranteed return.
• Jia Xingtian cited the dangers of the Snake-People Empire and Hai Bodong’s disappearance to discourage Yun Shan from joining Su Yun.
• Su Yun thanked Jia Xingtian after he declined to help, while Jia Xingtian explained that he had to protect the Imperial Family.
• Yun Shan reflected on Hai Bodong and realized he had grown more hesitant than he had been in his youth.
• Yun Shan smiled and told Su Yun that he was still young enough to accompany him to the Snake-People Empire.

Yun Shan brought Su Yun to Queen Medusa, who was shocked to discover that the eight-year-old was a first-tier alchemist with powerful beast fire. Su Yun bargained for the Snake-People Tribe’s forbidden soul-transfer method, and the chapter ended with Queen Medusa agreeing to the deal and hosting him at the palace.

• Queen Medusa challenged Yun Shan for entering the Snake-People Tribe’s sacred grounds, but he explained that he had brought Su Yun to meet her.
• Queen Medusa felt Su Yun’s wrist, discovered his bone age was eight, and asked him to demonstrate his alchemy.
• After watching Su Yun refine a pill, Queen Medusa heard his offer for the tribe’s secret method in exchange for pills and a favor.
• Queen Medusa demanded additional payment to satisfy the tribe’s elders, and Su Yun agreed to provide another chance to refine a seventh-tier pill.
• Queen Medusa accepted the deal, offered Su Yun medicinal ingredients, and invited him to stay in the palace under Hua She’s protection.

Queen Medusa considered how Su Yun could help the Snake-People Tribe survive, while Su Yun returned to the Su Clan and found its elders had grown stronger. The chapter ended as the grand elder neared completion of his Ninth Soul Ring and the clan sensed the arrival of its first Titled Douluo.

• Queen Medusa reflected that she had spared Yun Shan in case he became strong enough to help protect her tribe, and she hoped Su Yun would fulfill his potential as an alchemist.
• Queen Medusa resolved to rely on her own strength and pursue evolution through a Heavenly Flame rather than depend on a man.
• Su Yun returned to the Su Clan with the Snake-People Tribe's secret technique and medicinal ingredients, and three elders greeted him as their young clan leader.
• The elders told Su Yun that they had reached level eighty-two after absorbing exceptionally powerful Soul Rings with his magic cores and Pulse-Protecting Pills.
• The elders reported that the grand elder had begun merging with his Ninth Soul Ring, and a powerful presence revealed that the Su Clan had gained its first Titled Douluo.

Su Yun saw the Su Clan’s power rising after Su An became a Level 92 Titled Douluo with a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. He gave the elders pill formulas and outlined how Ring Detonation could make them formidable fighters, leaving the clan preparing to challenge even the Hongchen Family’s standing.

• Su An thanked Su Yun after becoming a Level 92 Titled Douluo and described his new Soul Skills and purple flames.

• Su Yun ordered the second and third elders to capture a twenty-thousand-year Purple Lightning Netherworld Python alive and without badly injuring it.
• Su Yun promised to teach the elders a technique that could let them use Ring Detonation to fight like Titled Douluos, prompting the clan to recognize its growing strength.

Su Yun weighed the Su Clan’s need for Soul Tools against the time and money required to produce them, while the First Elder tested Ring Detonation and praised its power. The chapter ended with Su Yun proposing that a girl with a ten-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring might help her clan secure loans and Level 9 Soul Tools.

• The First Elder shattered his first five Soul Rings and found that Ring Detonation temporarily increased his Soul Power by more than thirty percent.
• The First Elder praised Ring Detonation and argued that it suited Soul Engineers, but Su Yun forbade the clan from researching Soul Tool production.
• The Fourth Elder explained that the clan had lost most of its businesses, needed Soul Tools for the coming fights, and could not rely on the First Elder’s status while his Soul Rings remained concealed.
• Su Yun acknowledged that the clan needed money but could not borrow much while presenting itself as a Soul Douluo clan.
• Su Yun asked whether a girl with a ten-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring could make her clan worth nurturing and help it borrow enough to obtain Level 9 Soul Tools.

Su Yun revealed that he could help Su Clan members absorb Soul Rings beyond the usual limits and prepared a twenty-thousand-year Purple Lightning Netherworld Python as Su Qingxue’s fourth ring. The python resisted until Su Yun threatened to have it butchered for hot pot, then eagerly sought Su Qingxue’s favor.

• Su Yun explained the value of a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring and told the elders he had another way to secure one without buying a Soul Bone.
• Su Qingxue returned to the clan and learned that Su Yun had become the young clan leader and gained a thousand-year first Soul Ring.
• Su Yun told Su Qingxue that he had made beyond-limit Soul Ring absorption possible, but warned that the method was a closely guarded secret.
• Su Yun brought Su Qingxue to a twenty-thousand-year Purple Lightning Netherworld Python and explained that it could survive as her companion in her Sea of Consciousness.
• The Purple Lightning Netherworld Python refused to cooperate until Su Yun threatened to have it sliced up alive for hot pot, prompting it to ingratiate itself with Su Qingxue.

Su Qingxue safely fused the Purple Lightning Netherworld Python’s twenty-thousand-year Soul Ring and its External Soul Bone, reaching level forty-three and gaining formidable combat strength. After she returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the second elder arranged for Jing Hongchen to conceal her abilities, but a report about her still reached the crown prince that evening.

• The Purple Lightning Netherworld Python helped Su Qingxue fuse its Soul Ring without resistance, and she became a level-forty-three Soul Ancestor with a black fourth Soul Ring.
• Su Qingxue briefly summoned the Python at full strength and learned that it could give her Soul Saint-level power.
• Su Yun told Su Qingxue to explain her ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring as the result of a clan wager involving an External Soul Bone.
• After half a month of fully fusing with the External Soul Bone, Su Qingxue left for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy with the second elder.
• Su Yun instructed the second elder to ask Jing Hongchen to keep Su Qingxue’s information secret, and Jing Hongchen promised that outsiders would not learn the Illustrious Virtue Hall’s information.
• The second elder bought a full set of Level 9 Soul Tools from the Illustrious Virtue Hall, returned to the Su Clan, and that evening a report on Su Qingxue reached the crown prince.

After learning of Su Qingxue’s exceptional talent, Xu Tianran decided to win her loyalty by arranging for the Holy Spirit Cult to destroy her family so he could rescue her. The cult verified that Su Qingxue was a genuine genius and agreed to wipe out the Su Clan.

• Xu Tianran learned that Su Qingxue was sixteen, rank forty-three, and possessed an External Soul Bone and a ten-thousand-year fourth Soul Ring.
• Newly named crown prince, Xu Tianran decided Su Qingxue could help him oppose his eldest brother and planned to approach her when she was most helpless.

• Xu Tianran asked the Holy Spirit Cult to wipe out the Su Clan, explaining that he wanted to rescue Su Qingxue afterward and win her over.
• The Holy Spirit Cult elder checked with contacts at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, confirmed Su Qingxue’s talent, and accepted the task.

Xu Tianran secured the Holy Spirit Cult’s promise to wipe out the Su Clan and questioned the elder about how they would prevent anyone from escaping or witnessing the attack. The elder revealed extensive forces and preparations, while privately suspecting Xu Tianran’s motives and welcoming the deaths as a way to strengthen the cult.

• Xu Tianran demanded proof that the Holy Spirit Cult could completely destroy the Su Clan and leave no trace.
• The Holy Spirit Cult elder revealed he would lead one Soul Douluo, five Soul Saints, and thirty-seven Soul Emperors against the clan.
• The elder promised to use Level 8 Soul Tools and a Concealment Barrier to block escape and outside interference.
• The elder revealed his Soul Bone ability, Blood Perception, which could detect creatures with blood across dozens of li.
• Xu Tianran accepted the plan and left, while the elder suspected the royal struggle behind the operation did not matter to him.

Two Holy Spirit Cult Soul Douluos joined forces to raid the Su Clan for blood, souls, and other resources. Their concealed attack began in Shanhai City, but three Soul Douluos with Level 9 Soul Tools appeared before the attackers could proceed.

• The blood Martial Soul Soul Douluo prepared to raid the Su Clan, but the Ten Thousand Soul Banner Soul Douluo confronted him and bargained to join the expedition.
• The two Soul Douluos reconciled, agreed to divide the spoils, and led their followers to Shanhai City after two days of travel.

• At night, three Soul Saints and more than seventy Soul Emperors entered the Su Clan grounds under cover of the concealment Soul Tool.
• The attackers dismissed a Su Clan elder's attempt to negotiate, then froze when three Soul Douluos equipped with Level 9 Soul Tools appeared.

The Su Clan’s three Soul Douluo elders used Pulse-Protecting Pills and Level 9 Soul Tools to slaughter the attacking Evil Soul Master Soul Saints and Soul Emperors. The two Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos then advanced, pleased by the prospect of claiming the elders’ souls and blood.

• The Evil Soul Masters discovered that the Su Clan had three Soul Douluo elders rather than the two their intelligence had promised, but they attacked under pressure from their superiors.
• The Second Elder gave the Third and Fourth Elders Pulse-Protecting Pills, allowing them to unleash the power of their first six Soul Rings without tearing their meridians apart.
• The three elders charged with their Level 9 Soul Tools and killed the three Evil Soul Master Soul Saints and the Soul Emperor-level attackers.
• The two Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos recognized the elders’ exceptional combat strength and blamed the Third Prince for misleading them.
• The two Soul Douluos recovered their confidence, anticipated dividing the three elders’ blood and souls, and appeared above the Su Clan.

The Su Clan faced two Evil Soul Master Soul Douluos who claimed the Third Prince wanted them dead, but the Grand Elder revealed his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and turned the fight around. One attacker died while the other escaped, and the Grand Elder used Position Tracking to pursue him.
