Jin Yan

One of the other students in the 1st year Genius class at the Skysoul Institute of the Divine Feathers Sect. He is a member of the powerful Ashen Flames Family, also called the Jin Clan. He is the first to greet Nie Li and Lu Piao when they arrive in the classroom on the first day. He had already heard about them as the rumors about two new students with heaven-defying Spiritual Roots had quickly spread. He immediately tries to invite them to visit his clan in the hopes of recruiting them, but Nie Li just brushes him off. This is an insult to Jin Yan and has already put them at odds. When Venerable Redsoul instructs the class to attempt to form Spiritual Flames, Jin Yan is one of the few in the class able to ignite them. He was only able to form a pea sized flame though.

The next day Jin Yan was frustrated to learn the Nie Li surpassed him on the Saint Soul Grounds ranking board and immediately headed over there to compete. He had long accepted that he could not defeat Long Yuyin, but he was not willing to accept that there was another in his class that could defeat him. When he entered the Saint Soul Grounds he found that Long Yuyin had also rushed over, so he stepped to the side in order to first see how she would deal with Nie Li.

He was there and could only witness the competition between Nie Li and Long Yuyin from the 119th step. He did not believe that Nie Li had any chance of defeated Long Yuyin if he could not. He was there when Nie Li defeated and humiliated Long Yuyin.

During the next class, Venerable Redsoul directs them to take weighted armgurads for body strengthening training. He was barely able to handle the 500kg ones. He was there to witness Long Yuyin challenge Nie Li in a battle of physical strength and was further disheartened when Nie Li was able to not only stand his own, but even defeat her.

Jin Yan takes solace in the fact that Nie Li has no power backing him, making it difficult to find extraordinary growth rate dragon bloodline demon spirits. His own family has long had one such powerful demon spirit prepared for him when he reaches the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Alchemy

* Donghua - Furnace
* Donghua - Tools

Alchemy is a "science" that uses herbs and the remains of demon beasts to create items. Alchemists refine elixirs and allocate prescriptions. Nie Li does not consider himself an alchemist, since in his previous life he only had slight knowledge of them, but Glory City’s alchemist standard is so low that he still knows far more then them. Because of this he is able to use some basic alchemy to make money to support his cultivation.

The Alchemy Association is one of the most influential organizations in Glory City because of the importance of their research and skills. However they are in decline recently because of the gradual loss of more and more knowledge. Very few of the younger generation choose alchemy as a path anymore leading to more loss and higher priced elixirs. This also has a huge effect on demon spiritualist and fighters leading to an overall decline in Glory City's strength.

Lord of Nether's Disciple Selection

Every once in awhile the Lord of Nether recruits a disciple. Whenever he does, it takes place on the top three layers of the Nine-Layered Deathlands, which he has complete control over. Whenever the participants enter a layer, the Nether Realm Master’s servant will appear and announce the rules.

When the test is ready to begin, a large door appears in midair at the entrance of the Nine-Layered Deathlands. This door takes all the participants directly to the seventh layer.

Nie Li, his friends, and most of the experts of the Nether Realm are participating in this most recent disciple selection. In total there are between one - two hundred thousand Demigod, Legend, and Black Gold rank experts that enter.

In the previous disciple selections it was quite common for many to die, but for some unknown reason the master of Nether has designed this first test as a relatively harmless way of eliminating the majority of those that entered.

Hong Yue Auction House

The Hong Yue Auction House is owned by the Noble Hong Yue Family. It is situated in the northern part of Glory City and is considered one of the top three in the area. It has separate sections based on your ranking. When representatives from powerful families and associations visit they are placed in the VIP section.

Long lost treasures that are found in the many St. Ancestral Mountain Range ruins or passed down from a family treasury are put up for auction to the highest bidder. It was here that Nie Li was able to generously spend his fortune from the Alchemy Association and acquired many priceless treasures, including a Primary Dark Jade, Interspatial Ring, Elixir Storage Jade Bottle, Gold Rank Armor, and the Nightmare Demon Pot.

Power of Heaven

Also called "Heaven Energy" or "Heavenly Energy."

A type of energy similar to Soul Force and Law Energy. Just as with Law Energy, it is separated into elemental types, however it is more powerful than law energy and is considered the most fundamental of all energy. It can only be cultivated by someone who has broken into legend rank. Only those who have comprehended Heavenly Energy can break through Legend rank and step into the Heavenly Fate Realm. A person's Spiritual Root determines their talent in cultivating Heavenly energy.

## Alternate Life

Nie Li was able to cultivate the Power of Heaven in his past life in order to break through legend rank into the Heavenly Fate Realm.

Episode 6

### Story

The episode begins with Nie Li, Du Ze and Lu Piao extracting the Horned Sheep they killed for sale. Realizing they have just earned 7,000 coins, Lu Piao laughs loudly in joy. He is forced to shut his mouth as his loud voice can potentially attract other demon beasts they couldn't beat. The trio then continues to hunt multiple horned sheeps, the time turns into the morning, where others discovered that the amount of horned sheeps in the training grounds has decreased a lot. The school even sent people into the grounds, but they didn't find anything. Over the span of a week, Nie Li and his brothers hunted multiple horned sheeps at night, with Lu Piao mainly carrying the loot in his arms. Lu Piao and Du Ze next found a safe spot in the training grounds to sleep, as they have not slept for a week. Nie Li then accidentally finds Xiao Ning'er in a deep part of the training grounds.

### Events

* A horned sheep's total worth is 7,000 Demon Spirit Coins.

Shen Ning

A member of one of the branches in the Sacred Family. He is one of the strongest Demon Spiritualist in the younger generation and was one of the three people that participated in the younger generation tournament against Nie Li.

During the tournament he fought in the second round against Nie Li with a bet of 100 million demon spirit coins. He immediately merged with his Scared Scarlet Bear demon spirit and started attacking with a ranged flame meteor attack. It appeared that Nie Li was desperately running from his attacks, however no matter what he did Shen Ning could not hit him.

In a final attack, he leapt into the air in order to use the extra momentum to hit Nie Li with a powerful attack However, Nie Li activated the Gravity Field ability of his Fanged Panda, this made the gravity affecting Shen Ning many times greater and caused him to plummet roughly to the ground. Though initially the crowd thought it to be an extremely strong attack by Shen Ning, after the dust settled they only found him to be gravely injured and unconscious. Once again, this was seen as a lucky win by Nie Li since the activation of Gravity Field is not obvious except by those in its range. When the Sacred Family rebelled he is not shown, so his fate is unknown

It is not known if he participated in the rebellion of the Sacred Family against Glory City. So he could be deceased or in prison.

Heaven’s Divination Technique

*Also called the "Divine Fortune Technique."*

This is a secret technique passed down to Ying Yueru from her master, Venerable Witchfeather, who received it from Ancestral Master Phaseless. This technique allows a person to see through all illusions and calculate destiny. For that reason they are often used to determine the next sect master in the Divine Feathers Sect. However, this comes at a heavy cost and will lead to a shortened life. Ying Yueru used this technique and exhausted fifty years of her life in order to calculate Nie Li's destiny. Because of that, she was able to see the truth of his rebirth.

Besides divination, the Heaven’s Divination Technique was also capable of manipulating space-time. A high level cultivator can lay down the powerful Void Spiritual Array. Xiao Yu's father was able to use a secret technique which may or may not be connected to the Heaven’s Divination Technique that allowed him to send Xiao Yu into the future.

The technique constantly evolves within their body. Before it reaches the pinnacle, they’d have to die; otherwise, it’d bring annihilation to their Sect. That’s because when the technique reaches the pinnacle, the Sage Emperor would be able to divinate their existence. Once someone emerges to go against his absolute authority, he’ll ensure them a miserable death. In the hundreds of thousands of years, there have been countless numbers of people who’ve divinated fate and fought against time and space just to confront him.

* Ancestral Master Phaseless
* Ancestral Master Profound Sky
* Venerable Witchfeather

* Xiao Yu's Father

Nangong Xianyin

The current Sect Master of the Heavenly Note Sect and Ye Ziyun's master.

Nangong Xianyin was meeting with Xiu Ming from the Phaseless Sect when Nie Li, now the Sect Master of the Divine Feathers Sect, came to visit without notice. He informs her that both Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er are his sweethearts. Though at first she is angry, as members of the Heavenly Note Sect are not allowed to marry, she calms down after Nie Li reveals that the Divine Elixirs that Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er had given her were from him.

He then asks for the fragment of the Myriad Ancestor Sword that the Heavenly Note Sect has. At first she refuses, but later agrees when he offers five Sacred Elixirs, which are a hundredfold more effective than those they had already receive from Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er.

Even though she did not want to let Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er go, as both of them are rare talents that could take over the role of Sect Master, she had no choice when they insisted on leaving with Nie Li. However, they both surprised her by presenting over thirty other students that they had personally nurtured. Each of these students where under twenty years old, yet had already reached the Dao of Dragon realm.

## Alternative Life

The Heavenly Note Sect did not fall. Nangong Xianyin eventually withdrew from her position and filled the roll of the Sect Master before wandering around, since she already had someone in her heart.

Gu Tianlong

Gu Tianlong is the Gu Clan's current patriarch.

After Gu Bei revealed his hidden strength and god level dragon bloodline Demon Spirit, the clan's first elder, Gu Ya called an emergency meeting of the elders. Gu Tianlong heard about what happened and asked for the opinion of the elders as to what to do. Gu Yu declared that Gu Bei should be punished for breaking clan rules, while Gu Yan wanted to support Gu Bei. Gu Ya also reminded Gu Yu that Gu Heng had also broken some clan rules.

In the end, Gu Tianlong declared that Gu Bei will now be the first in-line successor. Though this was a little premature and surprised everyone, they agreed after he said that Gu Heng's character is dishonorable. This was his way of warning Gu Heng, as his underhanded method of poisoning Gu Lan had long been discovered. Since there was no other candidate to be the next successor he had stayed quite about this, but now that Gu Bei was a choice he wanted to bring him down a bit.

After many months of fighting between them, Gu Heng asked the elders to gather and punish Gu Bei for destroying his Deity’s Lakes. Since lakes had always been stolen before, never destroyed, this was a unique situation. After listening to both Gu Heng and Gu Bei's sides of the conflict, Gu Tianlong asked for the elder's opinions.

Surprisingly, things quickly moved against Gu Heng, as two of the elders that had long supported him, Gu Bai and Gu Feng, switched sides. It was now clear to Gu Tianlong that his support in Gu Bei proved to be correct, as he was able to gain control of the elders on his own. In the end, Gu Tianlong decided to fine Gu Bei 1.5 million spiritual stones for destroying the Deity's Lake, however Gu Heng was severely punished with thirty years "facing the wall" (reflect on his actions) for his dishonorable actions. Though Gu Yu tried to talk up for him, Gu Tianlong would not allow him to say much.

Flying Fish

A mysterious gigantic flying demon beast that makes the Netherlamp Behemoth look small. Even Nie Li does not directly know about this creature. Its proper name is not known, but it resembles a strange flying fish with wings growing from it. It has sharp claws and shoots out a thread-like substances to capture its victims.

After Nie Li severely damaged the Netherlamp Behemoth in the Ten Millennium Spatial Array, this demon beast flew by and carried it off.

*Note: So far we have no information about its type. For now it has been labeled a "Nightmare Type" as it seems appropriate.*

Legend

rank is considered the pinnacle of cultivation on the divine continent, but outside of it the legendary level is just the beginning.

at the legendary level not only does the amount of soul energy increase but the user's own body becomes noticeably stronger and more resistant, even weaker than when using the soul energy itself, something that can be seen in the training in chapter 319 .5 of the manga

it is only possible to cultivate heaven power after reaching the pinnacle of the legendary level.

It is possible to cultivate the power of laws before this level, but apparently it is not possible to become a spiritual god without reaching the legendary level.
Heavenly Fate Realm

Legend Rank/Earthly Fate Realm

This is the realm beyond legend rank. In order to reach this realm, normally a legend rank expert would cultivate the Power of Heaven. However, in the Divine Continent Domain the only way for a person to reach this realm is through cultivating a law to become a Spiritual God.

Demon Beasts are also able to break into this realm by becoming spiritual gods. It was when a demon beast moved into the Heavenly Fate Realm that ultimately lead to the demon riot and the Age of Darkness.

As a cultivator reaches this realm, they form something called a "Fate Soul" in their soul realm. If they died, they would only lose one of these Fate Soul instead of facing a true death. Ming Fei recently lost three of these other "lives" when fighting against the Demon God Sect in the Draconic Ruins Realm.

For an Earth Fate Realm to reach the Heavenly Fate Realm, one must harmonize with Heavenly Energy by sensing the Heavenly Dao(way).

## Alternate Life

In the previous life Nie Li was able to cultivate beyond legend rank despite being in the Divine Continent realm and not becoming a spiritual god. He accomplished this by using his own method through the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.

Gold Rank Armor

This Gold rank suit of armor was bought by Nie Li at the Hong Yue Auction House for 1 million Demon Spirit Coins. It dates back to the Snow Wind Empire Era and once had a Scarlet Flame Tiger demon beast’s Demon Spirit sealed inside. When worn, this armor would improve one's strength by thirty percent or more.

Black Devil Forest

## Alternate Life

Xiao Ning'er ran here when escaping from her arranged marriage to the Sacred Family's Shen Fei.

When Nie Li met Xiao Ning'er again in the previous life it was well over a hundred years later and she had changed her name to Xiao Ning and wore a mask. Xiao Ning once mentioned that her face was destroyed by a dark forest and her soul had been ignited by an endless curse. That dark forest concealed a very frightening thing that surpassed the limits of all the experts in the Draconic Ruins Realm. It is very likely that this dark forest is the Black Devil Forest.

Green Poison Pearl

The Green Poison Pearl is an artifact that Nie Li acquired after he killed the legend rank demon beasts Luqian Sha and Luqian Mo.

The pearl can absorb and store all types of poisons. After absorbing enough energy, it can then be used to attack others with its extremely potent poison.

While in the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, Nie Li uses it to absorb the venom of the Blackwater Venom Spiders. After using some Inscription Patterns to form a connection to the pearl's spiritual nature, he was able to command it to attack the spiders. The poison held in the pearl was so strong that it could even kill the highly venomous spiders.

Gu Feng

*The Manhua incorrectly translates Gu Bei's older sister's name as Gu Feng. Her name is Gu Lan.*

Gu Feng is the ninth elder of the Gu Clan. For over ten years he has done business with and received gifts from Gu Heng, however after Gu Bei visits him his loyalty is swayed. Just as with the eighth elder Gu Bai, he is most likely tempted by the large amount of spiritual stones given by Gu Bei.

After many months of fighting between Gu Heng and Gu Bei and meeting is called to discusses the destruction of Gu Heng's Deity’s Lakes by Gu Bei. Since lakes had always been stolen before, never destroyed, this was a unique situation. After listening to both Gu Heng and Gu Bei's sides of the conflict, Gu Tianlong asked for the elder's opinions. After Gu Bai, Gu Feng also switched to supporting Gu Bei.

In the end Gu Bei was still fined 1.5 million spiritual stones for destroying the Deity's Lake, however Gu Heng was severely punished with thirty years "facing the wall" (reflect on his actions) for his dishonorable actions. Though Gu Yu tried to talk up for him, there was nothing he could do.

Long Sha

A leader of the Dark Guild and in command along with Gui Sha. It was him that sent the group to the City Lord's Mansion to investigate the defensive arrays that Nie Li had built and to kidnap him. It is highly likely that Long Sha has been reborn multiple times using the Spiritual Constellation Technique.

He has suffered very serious injuries including a nearly shattered Soul Realm. They retreat to the Dark Guild hideout with a new found fear of Nie Li and his Array.

After the failure of the attempted assassination of Ye Zong, Ye Han escaped the Dark Guild and joined up with an even stronger family in the Nether Realm. Unfortunately, Ye Han revealed the existence of Glory City to the Wugui Family. Long Sha and Gui Sha could not act in this situation and decided to take a "wait and see" attitude. They then went into seclusion cultivation to heal and prepare for the Demon Lord's return from training.

Nie Li later learns that the Dark Guild's base is in Blackrock City in the Nether Realm. Even though he does not personally run into them, he does gain the aid of several powerful Demigod rank experts and sends them after the Dark Guild. Rather than face a battle they can not win, the Demon Lord takes his Dark Guild into hiding. He has figured out that this most likely the doing the youth (Nie Li) that Gui Sha and Long Sha described from Glory City. Now that he has gained a body with a Supreme Physique, he plans to join the Lord of Nether's disciple selection and orders the members of the Dark Guild to remain in hiding.

### Story

The story starts with Nie Li walking towards Ye Ziyun, while thinking of ways to approach her while not astonishing her in the process. After discussing about the Book of Divine Lightning Fire, Nie Li says that understanding the language of the Black Gold Empire era will make reading the Book of Divine Lightning Fire more easy. Nie Li says that Ziyun's body is most suitable for the Snow Wind cultivation technique, which shocks Ziyun as she has not told anyone outside of her family about her body technique. Nie Li also proposed to help Ziyun test her Soul Form. Afraid that the way of testing would be body contact, Ziyun rejects Nie Li out of shyness. Nie Li then calms Ziyun down by saying he only needs to test using a fresh Soul Crystal and see the pattern inside. Nie Li bids farewell to Ziyun, saying that if she needs more help, she can find him at the same spot in the library tomorrow. Ziyun stops Nie Li and explains she needs his help with two snow wind bronze scrolls, saying that they cannot be activated no matter what. Nie Li explains that the first scroll was written with the blood of a Snow Wind Spiritual Worm's larva instead of an adult, leading to the faulty scroll. The second scroll was originally a silver rank scroll, but has dropped rank over time. People tried to patch it, but their incomplete knowledge caused them to be unable to repair the scroll, and the scroll dropped to bronze rank. Nie Li then lent a pen from Ziyun and proceeded to repair the scroll, leading it to be twice as complex as before. Ziyun was astonished and thanked Nie Li for his help, and left, saying that she will meet him at the same spot tomorrow. The episode ends with Shen Yue appearing all of a sudden and angrily grabbing Nie Li's neck.

Shi Hua

One of the top students in the Holy Orchid Institute Demon Spiritualist Apprentice class. He was at the Placement Exam to see which students would advance from the Apprentice Fighter class. He did not think much of the candidates this year and figured only Xiao Ning'er and Ye Ziyun would move up, giving him a chance to approach them.

Much to his shock, multiple students surpassed him when being tested, jumping directly to 2 or 3 star bronze rank. One of the boys (Du Ze) and the two girls even broke the primary Soul Crystal. Before the test of the Fighter Apprentice class began, as the leader in the Demon Spiritualist Apprentice class, he was extremely proud, feeling that he is more than qualified to chase after Xiao Ning’er or Ye Ziyun. However, afterwards, his pride was completely shattered. It turned out that Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning’er were far past him.

Hierarch Blacknether

Hierarch Blacknether is a Martial Ancestor Realm expert of the Demon God Sect and Holy Son Li Huo's master. When he arrived at the Void Illusionary Divine Palace he quickly announced that all the treasure in the palace was now his. When several people attempted to flee it did not hesitate to kill them.

By just using his intent he searched the palace and discovered the barrier protecting the treasury. After a regular palm attack failed to break it, he reached through space and grabbed it directly. After a sort while he was able to tear through the last barrier and search the depths of the palace. There he discovered a mysterious and powerful black flame. However, the moment his intent touched the dark flames the black flames ignited his intent and set it ablaze.

With no other way to escape it, Hierarch Blacknether was forced to split his intent in two. He lost a large amount of strength and over thirty years of cultivation in just a moment. This infuriated him, making him more determined to find who had hidden away the Void Illusionary Divine Palace's treasures.

When Yan Yang was leaving the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, Hierarch Blacknether searched him and the Heavenly Fate Realm expert (Nie Li) with him with his intent, but have found that they had handed over everything already. He recognized Yan Yang as the Holy Son of the Skyblaze Sect and did not see any reason to provoke Yan Yang's Martial Ancestor Realm master, especially now that he had been weakened. However, when Li Huo told him that he believes that Yan Yang was still able to hide some treasures, Hierarch Blacknether chased after him.

Even after catching up with Yan Yang, Hierarch Blacknether still could not find anything on him and was sure that the treasures had been passed onto Nie Li. Even though Yan Yang claimed that he had killed Nie Li, Hierarch Blacknether refused to believe him and searched all around the area for any trace of him. In frustration, he was about to kill Yan Yang, when Yan Yang's Master arrived and stopped him. Angry at the situation and the fact that he had not been able to find any of the treasures, Hierarch Blacknether was determined to get revenge on Yan Yang and hunt down Nie Li in the future.

Scarlet Ghost

A 1 star silver demon beast that resembles a monkey. It doesn’t have any hair on his body and it’s skin is a scarlet color. It has sharp pointy ears, short arms with long and slender claws, and bulging blue eyes.

It is considered a fairly weak demon beast, however it swarms in large groups with even thousands surrounding a target. Nie Li and his friends ran into such a horde within the origin barrier surrounding the Ten Millennium Spatial Array. Nie Li used the battle inscription pattern known as Blood Burst Magic Bottle to help them fight off the swarm that attacked. It appears that these Scarlet Ghost's are more aggressive because some expert sealed Blood Crystals inside of a few.

The Netherlamp Behemoth is a natural predator of the Scarlet Ghost.

He Yinyin

She is one of the female students in the 1st year genius class of the Skysoul Institute along with Nie Li and Lu Piao. She is a member of a somewhat powerful family and was rather good looking, however could not be compared to Long Yuyin in either. This caused her to hold some jealousy towards her. After Nie Li's performance at the Saint Soul Grounds he got the attention of many of the young girls in the class.

When the class was directed by Venerable Redsoul to pair up for combat drills she attempted to approach Nie Li, with plans to make him her dog by chasing after her skirt. However, as she aimed to attract his attention, she was interrupted by Long Yuyin declaring that Nie Li will be her sparring partner.

He Yinyin was confused after watching Long Yuyin being viciously defeated and humiliated by Nie Li, and yet demanding that he continue sparring with her. She did not understand what Long Yuyin's motives could be.

Sikong Jue

(deceased)

Sikong Jue is a member of the Silver Winged Family and was chosen by Sikong Yi to escort Nie Li and Duan Jian. He is a 5 star gold rank and among the five gold rank experts that went, he was selected as the leader. Because of this it is he that carries the Stones of Light that are needed to activate the teleportation array, within his Interspatial Ring. As with the other members of the family he shows no sympathy or kindness to Duan Jian and even threatens and insults his mother before the trip begins.

After going a short distance from the village, Sikong Jue and the other experts are already exhausted from fighting the endless Scarlet Ghosts. Nie Li decides that this is the best time to attack and tells Duan Jian to take his revenge. He doesn't have to be told twice and quickly kills the other four gold rank experts with a few punches.

Sikong Jue tries to escape, but is blocked by Nie Li. In desperation he swallows six Blood Crystals in hopes that the surge in power will save him. Even still, Duan Jian kills him with a black flame attack called. "Raging flames of the Black Dragon."

Magic Note of Heaven and Earth

Through this technique, Nie Li witnessed Ying Yueru's murder at the hands of one of the Sage Emperor's Deity servants.

President Lin

President Lin is the vice president of the Dragonbreath Chamber merchant group. He was present when Nie Li bought six Sky Origin Divine Clan youths out from under a merchant from his guild. Knowing full well that near border of the Endless Wilderness the prestige of our Dragonbreath Chamber cannot tolerate being challenged, he intended to make an example out of Nie Li and forcefully take the contracts that he just acquired. However, President Lin was experienced and knowledgeable, so he tended to handled matters with caution. He suspected that Nie Li's identity was not simple since he casually could take out such a large amount of Spiritual Stones.

Much to his surprise, Nie Li purposed a large business deal between them, offering to buy two hundred Sky Origin Divine Clan slaves. Since it was not worth causing trouble over a small matter as the six youths in the face of such a large customer, President Lin quickly changed his attitude with Nie Li. To prove his sincerity, Nie Li immediately offered up a down payment of 500,000 spiritual stones and President Lin got him ten healthy 2 stage Dao of Dragon realm experts.

Over the course of the next seven days he continued to bring Nie Li more Sky Origin Divine Clan slaves and, in the end, sold him a total of three hundred and sixty of them. This included two 5 stage and six 4 stage Dao of Dragon Realm experts.
