Nie Li is shocked about the amount Ning'er gave him, and Ning'er explains that this is nothing compared to the cultivation technique he gave her. Some time later, Nie Li is laughing to himself that he's going to get rich, while writing a letter to a certain person in Glory City. Lu Piao and Du Ze wonders what Nie Li is writing while sitting a table behind of him, while Lu Piao wonders why is there a cluster of people in a distant corner. A new person in the center of the cluster of people is introduced, and that person is Chen Linjian. Du Ze and Lu Piao, while being interested rushes over, with Chen Linjian giving various stuff to strangers, saying that as long as people follow him, there will be various benefits.

Episode 2

### Story

Nie Li announces he will become the strongest Demon Spiritualist in the world and marry the most beautiful woman in Glory City. As expected, both the teacher and classmates laugh at Nie Li since it is impossible for Nie Li to achieve that. Shen Xiu starts to explain the various ranks, where it ranges from bronze, silver, gold, black gold and legend. She explains that each rank has 5 levels, where each level needs various months or even years to even breakthrough. She once again ridicule Nie Li saying that "some" people can't achieve the rank they ever wanted in their lifes. Nie Li explains that spiritualists are supposed to challenge the heavens and skies. He next asked Shen Xiu to bet with him, saying that if he can achieve bronze rank within two months at the exam, Shen Xiu will resign. If he can't, he will resign. Shen Xiu laughs at the bet, and orders Nie Li to stand at the back of the classroom whenever he attends her class. Five friends follow Nie Li to stand at the back, namely Du Ze, Lu Piao, Wei Nan, Zhu Xiangjun and Zhang Ming.

### Events

* Ye Ziyun start noticing Nie Li due to the announcement.
* Shen Xiu begins to explain the various Ranks people can achieve.
* Nie Li made a bet with Shen Xiu, whether he can raise his soul force from 5 to 100 within 2 months.
Demon Spirit

Found in the brain area of demon beast, it has a very rare chance of appearing. Only one or two in tens of thousands will have one. This is what demon spiritualist absorb into their soul realms in order to merge with the demon beast's power. They are very valuable, with even a silver rank demon spirit being valued in the hundreds of thousands demon spirit coins.

After being captured, a demon spirit is stored in a demon spirit stone until it is integrated into a soul realm or sealed within armor. In most cases a demon spirit can only be stored this way for at most six hundred years. Most people know that demon spirits are separated by rank, just as the demon beasts they come from, into bronze, silver, gold, black gold, legend. However, Nie Li also understands that different demon beasts have other important qualities, such as growth rate. Even a demon spirit that starts off weak can grow to legend rank if it has a good growth rate. The rate can be tested with a soul crystal.

Demon spirits can be fed with the demon spiritualist's own soul force, but that soul force is lost. This means that the demon spiritualist has to recultivate in order to recover the lost soul force. Because of this most choose to replace the demon spirit instead. In most cases the demon spirit can only be raised to the same level as the demon spiritualist.

In the Draconic Ruins Realm the cultivators understand the value of growth rates and mostly only trade demon spirits with excellent or higher rates. Besides growth rate, bloodlines are also important. Bloodlines can either be ordinary, ancient, or primordial. Demon spirits with the dragon bloodline in particular are highly sought after though they can get very expensive. Only those from powerful families would be able to acquire dragon bloodline demon spirits with extraordinary growth rates. As for God Level growth rate Dragon Bloodline demon spirits, those were simply priceless. Even in the three major families of the Divine Feathers Sect, only a few hundred experts had integrated with God Level Dragon Bloodline demon spirits.

Though previously it was believed that once integrated, demon spirits can not be recovered from a cultivator's soul realm, there might be a way. It is later mentioned that Gu Lan's demon spirit could not be moved to another demon spiritualist only because her meridians had been blocked.

 Icy Wind, Sharp as Knifes | Bronze

### Forbidden Techniques

The scrolls are very old, so the demon beast blood used to write them has become blurred, but Nie Li can restore them with a Clearance Potion. Since the Divine Family sees these as damaged goods, so he is able to negotiate a good price of only one bottle of Soul Tempering Pills. After restoring them he can see that they include one summoning scroll, with the rest all being elemental or functional based Legend rank techniques.

He acquired five more after visiting the Snow Wind Family's treasury that could be restored with the clearance potion. He gave three to Ye Ziyun and kept two more for himself.

Divine Soul Binding Art

This Article is based on the Official Translations of the Light Novel series! The information and terminology will be based on the source material rather than the Donghua (Anime) or Manhua.

**The Divine Soul Binding Art** is a complementary Cultivation Technique to the Divine Soul Dao Art, which was created by Nie Li.

Those who cultivate in it will be able to absorb the Soul energy that will be released by the people who cultivate in the Divine Soul Binding Art.

Ni Lie stated that if tens of millions of people cultivate in the Divine Soul Dao Art, he and friends would only need a day to cultivate to the Martial Ancestor Realm using this Cultivation Technique. Nevertheless, the effects of the Divine Soul Binding Art lasts only for 30 years. After 30 years, the Divine Soul Cultivation that’s concentrated on their bodies will slowly disperse.

Ancestral God Land

One of the more reclusive and unknown groups in the Draconic Ruins Realm. They came to power after gaining control of the Godslayer artifact, the Myriad Ancestor Sword.

The Goddess Jin Yan sacrificed her body to form this land, making it the only place with the power to withstand the Sage Emperor. It is here that millions of years ago, experts like Xiao Yu's Father and Ancestral Master Daozang sealed the Sage Emperor's Demonic Bone before levitating the land skywards, thus greatly limiting the Sage Emperor's power. As such, he can only use a clone which possesses a tenth of his true power, giving them hope that he could be stopped in the future. After its establishment, it was made so that only Martial Ancestor Realm experts, chosen candidates, or those who have cultivated the Divine Soul Tao Technique could go there. In this way, they have been recruiting powerful experts to combat the Sage Emperor, but they have lost the upper hand greatly and are now on the verge of collapse.

After the Myriad Ancestor Sword was separated into seven pieces during a great battle, the Ancestral God Land kept one section and gave each of the six divine sects one of the others.

## Alternate Life

In the last life Long Tianming obtained the only nomination to go to the Ancestral God Land from the Divine Feathers Sect right before the sect broke apart.

For some unknown reason the Holy Maiden of the Ancestral God Land suddenly disappeared and the entire land was burned to the ground by golden flames. After this happened the Sage Emperor of the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land was able to recover his Demonic Bone and began to recover his power.

Demon Blood Sacrifice

The Demon Blood Sacrifice is a mysterious inscription pattern array that allows a human to integrate the innate Cultivation of a demon beast. It is such an importantly guarded secret that only a few pinnacle experts of the Demon God’s Sect might know of its true uses. Since a demon beast's strength is held in their blood, the array uses that blood as a medium to enhance the human's strength.

Since a demon blood sacrifice can only be performed with the willing aid of a demon beast, it very rarely happens. This is largely due to the animosity between humans and demon beasts, so using the Demon Blood Sacrifice has become a huge taboo and can easily lead to the deaths of all involved.

Depending on the power held in the blood, this can cause a large leap in the cultivation for the human that receives it. They also can use it to possess the aura and appearance of a demon. Ancient and Primordial bloodlines even have hidden power sealed in them from their ancestors. Once the seal is broken a person can reform their physical body and obtain the demon clan’s physique.

Nie Li is able to trick Wu Yazi, a Primordial Bloodline Divine Blooded Raccoon demon beast, into forming a Demon Blood Sacrifice with him and Xiao Yu as a condition of gaining his help to enter the Void Illusionary Divine Palace.

Body Refining Pill

This is a type of elixir that is refined using alchemy. The raw materials needed for these tend to be very expensive because it is used to increase the rate of growth in a person's strength. These type of pills are mostly used by fighters. During the Sacred Empire Era there were many different types of body refining pills, but Glory City lost most of the formulas during the Age of Darkness. When Nie Li joins the Alchemy Association he brings many of these lost formulas back.

Types of Body Refining Pills:

* Scarlet Body Enhancing Pill - This is a powerful body refining pill for improving a fighter's abilities. It is said that during the Sacred Empire Era, many Fighters were able to step into Legend rank thanks to the effects of this pill.

Blood Burst Magic Bottle

*Also called "Blood Burst Demonic Bottle."*

It is highly lethal and effective on demon beasts below gold rank. Just as with all inscription patterns, the demons blood within the bottle powers it.

Nie Li and his friends used these to fight off the swarms of Scarlet Ghosts that attacked in the Abyss Prison Realm.

During the Demon Beast Horde attack, Nie Li has the Alchemy Association make thousands of Blood Burst Magic Bottles. When the demon beasts pull back to start throwing stones at the city walls Nie Li has the bottle attached to the bolts on the large crossbows. When the demon beasts come within range to throw the bolder they would shoot the bolts at them. Not only would the large explosion directly kill a few of the demon beasts, but it also could ignite the victim's blood causing a string of explosions.

Episode 27

### Story

The episode starts with Nie Li noticing that Chu Yuan was brought up with elixirs, and was therefore weak. Chen Linjian was observing on the side, saying that although Chu Yuan has a soul force of 300, Nie Li still managed to beat him. The scene then turns to Nie Li, with Nie Li saying that out of three hits, he still left two hits to use on Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan starts being enraged, and starts attacking Nie Li furiously. The attack fails, and Chu Yuan gets knocked back. Chu Yuan then starts using his soul force to attack Nie Li, but it fails since Nie Li started to recite the Heavenly God Technique to repair his soul realm, and starts to suck Chu Yuan's soul force. Out of soul force, Chu Yuan collapses, with Shen Yue calling him trash. The episode ends with Nie Li finishing absorbing Chu Yuan's soul force.
Demigod

A demigod is a cultivator that has reached the highest point in the Divine Continent Domain, at the top of legend rank. Because of the structure of this world being bound by the Power of Law it is only possible for a person to break through to the next Heavenly Fate Realm if they not only cultivate a law, but also are able to become the Spiritual God for that law. Each law can only have one spiritual god and they are near immortal. This accounts for why it is so difficult for cultivators to reach the higher realms in this world.

### Story

The story starts with Nie Li replying to Shen Yue that his understanding of Ye Ziyun is wrong. Nie Li then continued, saying that Ziyun doesn't like to eat Acampe Rigida. Lord Ye Mo lied to her that eating Acampe Rigida will increase Soul Force. Nie Li then said that Ziyun does not like reading books, and staring outside the window means she loves to adventure, wanting to explore the world beyond. Nie Li challenges Shen Yue, saying that Ziyun has a butterfly birthmark somewhere on her body, and if Shen Yue know where it is. Ziyun then suddenly stands up with an angry face, calls Nie Li pervert, and furiously walks away. Shen Yue then threatens Nie Li further, saying that he will show him who's boss. Nie Li then rebutted Shen Yue, saying if Shen Yue keeps on following Ziyun, then he will not show him anymore kindness. The scene then turns to Ziyun, while stepping her shoes in anger and calling Nie Li a bastard & a pervert. Ziyun is disturbed by the fact that Nie Li knows the butterfly birthmark at her left breast, and is even suspecting that Nie Li took a peek at her while she is bathing. Ziyun's anger soon subsides, wondering why did Nie Li pass that powerful cultivation technique to her, she soon cultivates at her house, and broke through to the bronze rank. She is surprised at how powerful the Nine Revolving Ice Phoenix Technique is, but as soon as Nie Li appears in her thought, she decides that she cannot forgive him for what he has done. The scene changes to Nie Li as he heads to the equipment shop. After looking for a while, Nie Li decided he will buy the Bronze Ragefire Armor Set, which costs 500,000 Demon Spirit Coins. After looking at Nie Li, the shopkeeper thought that he was looking at a penniless kid, but as soon as he sees Nie Li taking out a few demon spirit cards, his attitude completely changes like a merchant's face. Nie Li then purchases a few more items like equipment and scrolls and uses the shopkeeper's changing room. The episode ends when Shen Yue's gang follows Nie Li.

Episode 10

### Story

The story begins with the class laughing at Nie Li's opinions. Lu Ye finds Nie Li's opinions about the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern funny, but Ye Sheng corrects him saying that what Nie Li is saying about the inscription patterns is also correct. Nie Li then starts explaining that the original inscription pattern from the Book of Divine Lightning Fire was edited, and anyhow plagiarized and changed by the founder of the Sacred Family, so that it becomes the Scarlet Sunburst Inscription Pattern they're proud of. After learning of the Book of Divine Lightning Fire, most of the class said that they haven't heard of it. Shen Xiu then scoffs at Nie Li saying that there isn't any book with that name in the world. Nie Li then returns the scoff, saying that in Shen Xiu eyes', anything that wasn't seen by her doesn't exist. Zhang Ming then surprises Shen Xiu saying that he borrowed the Book from the Library, but he has difficulty flipping through the book because he couldn't understand the language within. Nie Li recalls to his past life where Glory City was being destroyed by Snow Wind beasts and Sacred Family was busy running away at the first second. This ignites his anger again, and he vows to show everyone in Glory City how great a traitor is Sacred Family. Nie Li next calms down and ask Zhang Ming to flip to volume 7, the 30th page and the sixth diagram. Now that the truth is out, Shen Yue and Shen Xiu desperately tries to shield themselves by rebutting Nie Li, but to no avail. Nie Li then explains the Rule #161 of the Demon Spiritualist conduct. "When copying other people's patterns, they must show where have they obtained the source, and they cannot take it in and say that they created it."

### Events

* The Scarlet Sunburst Pattern is actually made out of 38 foundation patterns, but saying it is made out of 36 patterns isn't wrong either.
* The Scarlet Sunburst Pattern originates from the Lightning Fire Divine Book.
Episode 12

### Story

The story begins with Nie Li and his gang slacking around in the library. Du Ze worries about Nie Li, asking him whether offending the Sacred Family like that would be good. Nie Li comforts Du Ze, saying that they will not cause him trouble for the time being. Nie Li then takes out six untainted Soul Crystals, and asks that his five friends test their soul force in the crystal to determine their soul form and attributes. Some of Nie Li's friends rejects the gift since they cannot accept such an expensive one, but soon accepted on that fact that they are brothers. Du Ze is the first to test, his soul force has reached 52 and his soul attribute is Heavenly Thundercloud form. Nie Li then gives Du Ze the Heavenly Qilin Technique. Next is Lu Piao, which has an unknown soul force and tested out to have a Scarlet Sun Form. Nie Li next gives him the Holy Primal Chaos Technique, which isn't anywhere inferior to the technique Du Ze obtained. Furthermore, this technique is suitable for Lu Piao as it doesn't require much meditating. After testing and giving the rest of his friends techniques, Nie Li decided it is time to test out his own soul form and his attribute.

### Events

* A fresh soul crystal could be tested for a person's soul forms and attributes.
* Du Ze's soul force has reached 52 and his soul attribute is Heavenly Thundercloud form.
* Lu Piao has an unknown soul force and his soul attribute is Scarlet Sun Form.

Nie Li knows that Ziyun currently is craving after companionship from Xiao Ning'er, so he knows that Shen Yue's tactic won't work on Ziyun.

Draconic Tongue Herb

A herb that works as a slow acting poison when it enters the body. It is known to cause it's victims to bleed from their seven holes(the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth). The poison also greatly weakens them by making it impossible for them to use Soul Force. Traditionally, there was no known cure and a person would be dead within an hour of it entering their system.

Since it has an even stronger effect on the draconic tribe, Ye Han choose to use this poison when he attacked Ye Zong. However, he was unaware that just a few hours earlier he switched his Black Scaled Earth Dragon Demon Spirit for that of the Snow Wind Great Ape with Spiritual Wisdom. This most likely saved his life as the effects of the poison slowed down.

Nie Li later revels that what actually happens with the draconic tongue herb is that it slowly paralyzes the victim giving them the appearance of being dead until their heart finally gives out. He is able to save Ye Zong by using the Daoyin Technique to draw it out of his system.

Ancestral Master Phaseless

This is the great master that passed down the Heaven’s Divination Technique to Venerable Witchfeather, Ying Yueru's master. It was also Ancestral Master Phaseless that passed down the teaching that Ying Yueru has tried to impress on both Nie Li and Long Yuyin, "virtuous like water, for water does not compete."

Like all practitioners of the Heaven's Divination Technique, Ancestral Master Phaseless was a threat to the Sage Emperor and had to die before reaching the pinnacle of the technique or risk gaining the Sage Emperor's attention.

Demon God Sect

This Article is based on the Official Translations of the Light Novel series! The information and terminology will be based on the source material rather than the Donghua (Anime) or Manhua.

*Note: Also called the "Demon God's Sect."*

The most powerful sect in this Draconic Ruins Realm. It is seen as the primary enemy of the six main divine sects, who are allied together under the Divine Feathers Sect against them.. The sect has numerous Deity-ranked powerhouses, as well as scores of pinnacle Martial Ancestor and thousands of Dao of Dragon experts. In the last major confrontation between the divine and demonic forces in Spiritual City, the Demon God Sect was able to cause great damage to the Divine Feathers Sect, weakening their power.

Though the Demon God’s Sect is publicly pledged to the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land, in private they’d been working on expanding their own strength. There is a vague intent of competing with the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land. However, the Demon God Sect is cautious, as their experts are extremely frightening with a history that is long and immeasurable.

The sect's main base of power is located in the Lightning Roar Mountain Range, which they have controlled for several thousands of years. The many scores of sects nearby are all treated as subsidiaries and do not dare act against them. There are a total of six spiritual halls in the Demon God’s Sect that often compete against one another.

Known Halls:

* Water Spiritual Hall
* Fire Spiritual Hall

Since only those that come from the Tiny World can return to it, the Demon God’s Sect has also nurtured its own force there. It was in fact the Demon God Sect that provoked the Demon Beasts and started the Age of Darkness, leading to the massacre of humans and other living creatures in the main world. Because of that event, the Divine continent has not borne very many talented experts for almost ten millennia.
