Appearance

Soul Rings manifest as luminous circular bands that rotate beneath or around a Soul Master's body. A slain Soul Beast's ring can float above its corpse until it is absorbed. 22 151

Age tier Observed color Evidence
Ten-Year White Hu Jiu's first ring is described as milky white before its advancement. 22
Hundred-Year Yellow Hu Jiu anticipated his white ring becoming yellow at the hundred-year threshold. 22

Ten-Thousand-Year Black The Green Wood Dragon Root Tree produced a dark-black Soul Ring. 283
Hundred-Thousand-Year Red Hu Jiu's Seventh Ring turned crimson upon reaching one hundred thousand years. 399

  • Soul Ring colors and intensity reveal their age to experienced Soul Masters. 23
  • Hu Jiu can use Soul Power Control to make his rings appear lower-level, concealing their true age. 23

Characteristics

Soul Power and Skill Enhancement

Soul Rings greatly increase a Soul Master's Soul Power and grant Soul Skills. Hu Jiu found that acquiring rings enhanced his Soul Power by at least several dozen times. 23

  • A Soul Skill's effect depends on the absorbed Soul Beast, the Soul Master's Martial Soul, and the ring's age. 151
  • Even Soul Masters who absorb rings from the same species can gain different abilities. 151
  • Higher ring ages generally provide stronger effects, particularly after crossing the hundred-, thousand-, and ten-thousand-year thresholds. 184
  • For ordinary Soul Masters, a Soul Skill's effect is fixed when its ring is absorbed. Hu Jiu's AFK Panel is exceptional because it increases his rings' ages and continuously improves their skills. 220

Acquisition and Absorption

Most Soul Rings are obtained by killing a Soul Beast, causing its ring to emerge for absorption. 151 283

  • The Soul Master sits cross-legged and draws the ring into their body to refine its Soul Power. 151 550
  • Absorption leaks the Soul Master's aura, making them easier for nearby Soul Beasts to detect. 151
  • A Soul Beast in human form can condense a Soul Ring through ritual once its level is sufficient. 288
  • God-Bestowed Soul Rings are granted as rewards for Sea God trials and are described as the ring best suited to their recipient. 406 433

Standard Absorption Limits

Soul Ring position Typical maximum age
First 423 years
Second 764 years
Third Over 1,700 years
Fourth Around 5,000 years
Fifth Around 12,000 years
Sixth Around 20,000 years
Seventh 30,000–50,000 years
Eighth Over 50,000 years
Ninth May potentially absorb a hundred-thousand-year ring

Standard limits stated in 284.

Hu Jiu exceeded the normal seventh-ring limit by absorbing a seventy-thousand-year Soul Ring, relying on exceptional Soul Power control, mental strength, a Head Soul Bone, and the Nether Soul Suppressing Bell. 284

Hu Jiu's AFK Soul Rings

Hu Jiu's AFK Panel can automatically place Soul Rings into dedicated Idle Slots and raise their age over time. 22

  • His first AFK ring initially gained one year of age per day. 22 23
  • Once his First Soul Ring reached ten thousand years, AFK progression rose to fifty years per day. 222
  • Once that ring reached one hundred thousand years, AFK progression increased to one hundred years per day. 479
  • Tang San's own attempt to cultivate his ring increased it by less than one year over more than half a year, underscoring how abnormal Hu Jiu's method is. 26
  • Hu Jiu can maintain multiple Soul Rings in AFK slots simultaneously. 320
