After buying the Jade of Life, Jun Yan discovered that it absorbed his life energy and released a larger supply in return, though he still did not understand how to use it fully. The next morning, he left the Martial Soul Sacred Temple to visit Dugu Bo and then depart Heaven Dou City, carrying a letter from Fan Haige for Jun Kuang.

• Fan Haige paid the remaining 200,000 Gold Soul Coins for the Jade of Life, and Jun Yan took possession of it.

• Jun Yan rushed toward the brothers and drove a heavy punch at Tang Xiao.

• Jun Yan flew away as his Wood Clone arrived, disguising the masked attacker’s identity; the clone then taunted Tang Xiao and left after revealing himself as a Soul Saint from Spirit Hall.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao planned how to explain losing the Soul Bone, while Ah Yin identified the masked attacker’s eyes as his Martial Soul and the brothers realized his ninth Soul Ring might be a hundred thousand years old.

• The Jade of Life cracked and shattered, and Jun Yan caught the seed that had been sealed inside it.

Jun Yan planted the strange seed from the Jade of Life and watched it grow into the Tree of Life, which absorbed energy from both springs. Using the tree’s breathing pattern, he developed Sage Mode and successfully entered it for the first time.

• Jun Yan sensed that the seed absorbed Natural Energy and decided to plant it at the boundary of the hot and cold springs.
