Old Man Niu

Old Man Niu was a resident of the Abyss Prison Realm that had fallen on hard times. He was so desperate for food to feed his family that he decided to sell a family heirloom that had been passed down in his family for over five hundred years.

The old man was unaware of how valuable the treasure, a Blizzard Spirit Gem, was and only asked for a few bags of food. However, Nie Li happily gave him 25 bags of food and an additional five pound of meat in exchange for it. The man was very grateful and readily thanked and kowtowed, along with his two grandsons, to Nie Li.

Guo Huai

Guo Hua is a member of the Divine Feathers Sect, and a student at the Skysoul Institute's East District. He is fiercely loyal to Venerable Flameless and will follow his orders no matter what he is asked. This is because in the past Venerable Flameless had saved his life.

After Ye Chong failed to kill Nie Li during their spar, Venerable Flameless ordered Guo Huai to fight him. Guo Huai was very clear as to what Venerable Flameless expected of him and went all out from the beginning. Because of his much higher cultivation, he was confident in defeating Nie Li.

With the use of his Heavenly Energy, Guo Huai formed a meter long heavy sword and struck out a Nie Li. His attacks used sonic wind blades and speed to overwhelm his opponent. Even though Nie Li was able to avoid these strikes by merging with his Shadow Devil Demon Spirit, he could not withstand a single strike. Just as Guo Huai was about to hit him, Nie Li had little choice but to merge with his Bloodwing Saint Jiao-dragon to defend against the strike.

After avoiding his claws with his superior speed, Guo Huai was surprised by the Bloodwing Saint Jiao-dragon's strength, but still was confident of his eventual victory. He then merged with his own demon spirit, a Nethermoon Draconic Beast, and rammed the Jiao-dragon. With is superior strength, he overwhelmed Nie Li and almost pushed him out of the arena.

Just as Guo Huai was going to finish Nie Li off with a Nethermoon Strike to the neck, the Jiao-dragon suddenly mutated and formed golden spikes. His palm was impaled by one of these on Nie Li's neck. Every time Guo Huai struck out at Nie Li, he would turn his body so that the punches landed on a spike, causing great pain for Guo Huai. With his hands badly damaged, Guo Huai then switched to attacking from a distance with his wind blades. However, the wind blades were countered by the Jiao-dragon's fire attribute dragon breath.

Desperate to end the battle, Guo Huai started to rapidly use his wind cannon attack. Even though this attack used a lot of energy, he threw out nine of them in a row and was finally able to cause severe damage to Nie Li. However, just as he was about to end the battle, Nie Li suddenly broke through to 5 Fate Heavenly Fate Realm. He attempted to attack Nie Li before he could fully understand his new cultivation, however Nie Li was unexpectedly able to grasp it within moments. With his Heavenly Energy completely exhausted, there was little he could do as Nie Li ruthlessly rammed him with his spikes. This continued until Guo Huai was unable to stand anymore, losing the match.

Heavenly Dao Inscription Array of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

This is the powerful and complex inscription pattern array that the Sage Emperor used to seal time and space within the Draconic Ruins Realm and smaller Domains.

It is because of this seal that no matter how many times the Sage Emperor was killed he was able to reconstruct his body and come back even stronger. Though he is terrifyingly strong, his really power lies in this nearly impossible to break seal.

The pattern of seal can be found in one of the three remnant pages of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book under the Sage Emperor's possession.

Glory City Families

Within Glory City there are three major families (*Manhua Variant: Name is changed to "Sovereign Families"*). The City Lord is usually born from one of them. After them are the seven noble families and then the twenty aristocrat families. If a person is not a member of one of these families then they are considered a commoner.

If a family produces a gold rank demon spiritualist, they can become an aristocrat family; if they produce a black gold rank demon spiritualist, they can become a noble family; and if they produce three black gold rank demon spiritualist or a legend rank spiritualist, they can become a major family.

A families position is largely decided by financial means and prestige. Producing strong demon spiritualists is considered essential because it results in an increase of both of these things. A strong spiritualist or fighter can join the army and draw an income relative to their rank. If a family is unable to do so, it is said to be on the decline. When this happens, the family falls in rank. This can result in a change in type, such as a major family becoming a noble family, a noble family becoming an aristocrat family, or even an aristocrat family becoming commoners. It appears that the number of each type of family is fixed, but these ranks can change greatly from one generation to another.

*Note:The rank below is to give an idea of the family's power in relation to each other, with "1" being the most powerful. The ranking maybe inferred from the context in the case that it is not told outright.*

Inscription Patterns

Inscription Patterns have been around since the Snow Wind Empire Era, however only a small collection have survived the Age of Darkness in Glory City. The three most complete patterns in Glory City are:

 Sacred Flaming | Sacred Flame
 War Prime | Attributless

The other ones have very little surviving information. Each inscription pattern is made up of foundation patterns that are combined to form different effects. These combinations are named and ranked in the same matter as demon spiritualists and fighters. The patterns are written using the blood of demon beasts of sufficient power.

Those that study inscriptions are called Inscriptionist. To become inscription masters an inscriptionist has to have spent their lives studying the history and art of creating inscriptions. At one point Ye Ziyun asks the inscription master Xue Yin about the inscription pattern that Nie Li drew for her and was told that Nie Li was at the level of an inscription master.

The different types of Inscriptions are:

Heavenly God Technique

* Donghua

*Manhua Variant: Name is changed to "Heavenly God Tactics."*

One of the three cultivation techniques suitable for attributeless soul realm that Nie Li considers for himself. It is said to have the highest potential of the three.

Nie Li chooses to study this one, even though it is one of the slowest and hardest to practice. The reason being that If one succeeds in practicing it, they would be able to learn cultivation techniques from all the attributes. They would also be able to take on seven different demon spirits, each with a different attribute, where as most others can only hold one.

One of the benefits of his cultivation technique is its efficiency. When absorbing a Soul Assembling Pill, an ordinary person is only able to absorb a tenth of it at most. However, with the Heavenly God Cultivation Technique, Nie Li could fully absorb the pill. Also, when using this cultivation technique, he is able to train both the soul force and enhance the strength of the physical body together.

After reaching Legend rank and traveling to the Draconic Ruins Realm the true strength of the Heavenly God Technique started to show itself. One of the profound strengths of this cultivation technique is the way it allows one to communicate with Heaven and Earth, drastically raising ones compression of Heavenly Energy.

The body refining method of the Heavenly God Technique uses the heart to refine the breath, then uses the breath to refine the body.

### Xiao Ning'er

In Nie Li's last life, Ning'er was betrothed to Shen Fei of the Sacred Family. she was unwilling to marry him, and so she practiced hard in order to escape her fate. but sadly she was afflicted with the Arctic Disease and her cultivation fell short. when the time of the marriage came she was determined to escape, and so she left into the black devil forest and no one saw her come out.

She first directed the auction portion and then later the presentations of dao understanding through the four arts. She also encouraged others by performing first on the zither.

Like the rest of the audience, Quin Yue witnessed the profound dao intent displayed by Long Tianming, Mingyue Wushuang, and Yan Yang. So she did not expect much from Nie Li when he went up to display his skills. She even attempted to give him a way out by saying that he is very courageous for being so young. When Nie Li drew an ancient version of the word "sword" using calligraphy she didn't know what to say or do as she could feel no dao intent from it at all.

After Yan Yang revealed that Nie Li's word was actually full of deeply profound intent that was beyond her Qin Yue quickly changed her attitude. Previously, she’d held a little contempt for Nie Li, but now, she realized that she couldn’t see through him. She’d gained a little more respect for him, and began treating Nie Li as someone of the same level as Yan Yang.

Now that Nie Li had raised everyone's curiosity, Quin Yu made a point of asking if he was heading to the Outside World. However, Nie Li simple said he had no plans to go to the outside world right now.

He has complete control over them and can change these three layers at will. It would normally take months to travel through the layers, but there is a short cut that can be opened to directly enter the seventh layer.

This cultivation technique that is specifically made for members of the Heavenly Marks Family that have the "Physique of Heavenly Marks" soul form. During the Snow Wind Empire Era, demon spiritualist with this form were known to be one of the three most powerful demon spiritualists. The strongest warriors of the Heavenly Marks Family all have had this form, however it rarely appears. There is only a one percent possibility of it appearing within a member of the family. Even then, the original cultivation technique was lost in the Age of Darkness, so they could not reach their full potential.

Nie Li discovers that his little cousin, Nie Yu, has the "Physique of Heavenly Marks" soul form. With his vast knowledge he also has a cultivation technique that she can use to train properly.

Gods Craft Pavilion

This is the group in charge of forging most artifacts and selling them to the major sects in the Draconic Ruins Realm. they can be considered a power on par with most of the major sects.

Because they have a monopoly on artifacts, they can largely set the prices as they wish, making the pricing very predictable.

The Celestial Treasure Pavilion of the Mingshan Stronghold in the Divine Feathers Sect also gets their artifacts from them. However, they only artifacts of grade 6 or below. Anyone seeking higher grade artifacts would have to go to the Gods Craft Pavilion to buy them.

The pavilion also created the Craftgods Book with lists out the information and uses of most materials that can be used to produce artifacts.

Han Jing

*Note: It says the strongest in the group is a 5 Grade Heaven spiritual root and that Han Jing is the leader. Since it is more then likely that the leader is the strongest he is probably the one with the 5 Grade Heaven spiritual root.*

Another student in the 1st year Genius class at the Skysoul Institute. He is the leader of a group of six students in the class that see Nie Li and Lu Piao as their greatest threat to being chosen for the east district. Since Wang Yang is also a member of the group, they also get some support from Hua Ling.

In order to interfere with their cultivation, they planned on messing with Nie Li and Lu Piao when they enter one of the three training grounds. When he heard that they had entered the Saint Soul Grounds he rushed over with Wang Yang, but there was nothing they could do. When Han Jing, Wang Yang, and the other members of their group attempted the steps of the Saint Soul Grounds, none of them were able to rise above step twenty. This, combined with witnessing Nie Li's amazing talent and the way he defeated the terrifying Long Yuyin, it was obvious to Han Jing that he never had any hope of competing with Nie Li.

He witnessed Nie Li once again defeat and humiliate Long Yuyin in class. This was even more powerful, as it was a competition that she held an advantage with because of the strength of her Blood Dragon’s Lineage. This further cemented in his mind that he had no chance of competing against Nie Li.

Huang Ying

Another student in the Skysoul Institute. Since it is known that her father is an elder, it is most likely Huang Yu. She likes Xiao Yu and comes running to see him when she hears that he has returned. After meeting Nie Li and Lu Piao she decides to wait for Xiao Yu in his courtyard, however Yan Hao shows up first. When he starts to threaten Nie Li and Lu Piao, Haung Ying stands up for them. He appears to want Huaang Ying's favor, but she has no interest in him and is rather annoyed by his attention.

When Xiao Yu arrives she starts to blush and appears infatuated with him, despite the fact the Xiao Yu largely ignores her. As he is attempting to get her and Yan Hao to leave a couple of other Xiao Yu fan-girls arrive. This causes Huang Ying to also get angry and jealous, as she wanted to spend some time with Xiao Yu before they found out he was back.

She followed Xiao Yu into the Saint Soul Grounds and stood on the 56th step. When she saw him quickly raise through the ranks, it further impressed her and reaffirmed her impression of him. She all but ignored Yan Hao, who tried to force his way further up the steps only to suffer injuries when his Soul Realm recoiled.

Gu Yan

One of the six elders that sit on the council at the Alchemy Association and also the current president. He is the Senior rank Alchemy Master that Mu Yang and Huyan Ming rushed to in order to allow Nie Li to pass the master exam after only completing the first round.

When Nie Li meets with both him and director Yang Xin, he reveals enough of his skill to earn Gu Yan's respect and cooperation. Nie Li tells him that he has a very powerful master that wishes to go into business with them. He gifts them five of the previous lost elixirs in exchange for 30% of the profits. Gu Yan immediately agrees and starts production of the elixirs. At some point after this Gu Yan tells the City Lord, Ye Zong, about Nie Li and his "master."

After Ye Zong's fight with Nie Li he asks Gu Yan about the Soul Reversal Technique. Though neither of them have heard of it, he could guess that it is a suicidal attack meant to take down an opponent when given no other choice. Ye Zong asks Gu Yan to get this technique from Nie Li. He sees this powerful technique as something that could be used against the Dark Guild if they are ever so desperate. He tells Gu Yan that the Dark Guild is trying to push the demon beasts into attacking Glory City. The implication is that this is what probably caused Glory City's destruction in Nie Li's past life, though Nie Li is unaware of this possible connection between the Dark Guild and the attack.

**Gu Yan** visits Ye Zong with the information acquired from torturing Shen Ming regarding the involvement of the Sacred Family with the Dark Guild. However since the testimony of one person is not substantial enough, Ye Zong asks the situation to be monitored and puts Ye Xiu in charge to carry out the necessary work.

Shao Ming Feng

Shao Ming Feng is the owner of the Xuan Spirit Merchant Hall in the northern section of Glory City. He had heard about how the Heavenly Marks Family had spent so much money at the Hong Yue Auction House, so when they arrived at his merchant all he arranged a VIP room and personally saw to their needs.

In the beginning, he addressed the patriarch, Nie Hai, however he very quickly discovered that the one making decisions was in fact Nie Li. When he brought out their book of available Demon Spirits, Nie Li request complete secrecy and then asked to buy all of their Nightmare Type demon spirits. Shao Ming Feng was very surprised by such an unusual order but nevertheless quickly went to gather the Demon Spirit Stones. He was even more shocked when Nie Li simply brought out the three hundred thousand Demon Spirit Coins and immediately paid for them.

Nie Li then continued to order all of the toxic, snow wind, and fighting type demon spirits, for a grand total of sixty five million demon spirit coins. He also agreed to send more over the the Heavenly Marks Family when ever Nie Li needed more. This was by far the greatest single sale in the history of the Xuan Spirit Merchant Hall.

In anger he transforms into his Ghastly Chameleon form, which resembles a lizard man covered in spikes, and charges at Nie Li. He is able to avoid Nie Li's Yin Yang blasts and spits a net of venom at him. However, Nie Li suddenly disappears, escaping the venom by using the Shadow Devil's void form. Yu Yan and Duan Jian keep him occupied until suddenly Nie Li reemerges and starts throwing the Draconic Bombs at him.

After witnessing how powerful these hidden bombs, Luqian Mo thought that they should be a rare item, and was overwhelmed when Nie Li pulled out dozens upon dozens of them to toss at him. Luqian Mo was able to dodge them. When he discovered that many of the bombs were fakes. He became more lax and was gravely injured by a real one. Once injured, it was impossible for him to continue dodging, and he was killed after being hit by a few more.

Myriad Dragonroars

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.

This is the cultivation technique that is used by both Ming Fei and Xiao Yu. Its tyrannical nature makes it just as formidable as the techniques that Nie Li gave to Du Ze and Lu Piao.

However, Xiao Yu and the Nether Master’s Myriad Dragonroars are only a portion of the original. The reason why Xiao Yu had remained in the Earth Fate Realm for so long was because it lacked these parts.

One of the abilities of this technique is that it can conceal one’s cultivation status, making it undetectable by others.

When Xiao Yu was in the Earth Fate Realm, his cultivation had always been suppressed; but the moment he made a breakthrough and stepped into the Heavenly Fate Realm, the Myriad Dragonroars cultivation technique finally revealed its frightening might and raised Xiao Yu’s cultivation by leaps and bounds.

## Manhua

In the manhua it was stated by Nie Li to be extremely overbearing and powerful, not being any less powerful than his Heavenly Dao Technique (referring to the Heavenly God Technique.)

Mutations

When a Demon Spiritualist integrates with their demon spirit, the soul force within their body is also integrated with the demon spirit. This will change the demon spirit, causing it to evolve towards a different direction. After evolving, the demon spirit’s strength will be greatly enhanced, and new abilities would appear from the mutation. The more mutations a demon spirit experienced, the more precious it would become.

A successful mutation usually occurs only after the demon spirit has been integrated for sometime. An ordinary Gold rank expert can only accomplish one mutation and the mutation can only hold out for at most, half an hour.

Usually, there’s a set probability to whether or not a demon spirit will mutate upon ranking up. However, after absorbing thousands of dragon bloodline demon spirits in the Draconic Ruins Realm, Nie Li's Nightmare Demon Pot is able to cause mutations in demon spirits during the fusing process instead.

Luo Ming

A member of the Jade Seal Family that has reached Legend rank. When Nie Li decides to leave the Nether Realm, Luo Xiao asked Luo Ming and two other legend rank experts to guard him. Though he does not understand why the patriarch is putting so much importance on Nie Li, he does not question and simply follows his orders.

He was shocked to learn about Glory City and excited with the idea that humans could still survive on the surface. When the Wugui Family attacked he and the other two legend rank members of the Jade Seal Family did not join in the battle as it would reveal to the Wugui family that they had allied with Glory City and could result in a larger counter attack.

After a few more days Nie Li gathered his friends and Lou Ming, along with the other two legend rank experts, to head back towards the Nether Realm. When the group had almost reached the entrance of the Nether Realm, Luqian Sha and Luqian Mo, appeared. They are the two high level legend rank demon beasts that have spent the last 10,000 years guarding over Yu Yan in the Black Spring. After finally finding her they plan to killing her. Nie Li and Yu Yan start to fight Luqian Sha while Duan Jian and Luo Ming fight Luqian Mo.

Nie Li shocks everyone when he is able to kill such frighteningly high level Demon Beasts with his Draconic Bombs.

Outside World

The outside world is what the people of the Draconic Ruins Realm call the area outside of the regions controlled by the Sects. This is the most dangerous area of the Draconic Ruins Realm, as it is full of powerful experts and Demon Beasts vying for territory around the Deity’s Lakes.

Once a person has reached at least 2 Fate Heavenly Fate Realm, they can store a Fate Soul at their sect so that they can somewhat safety explore the outside world and attempt to establish their own position and forces.

The Void Illusionary Divine Palace is just one of the many wonders in these large, unclaimed territory.

The Endless Wilderness is a very harsh land in the outside world that the Sky Origin Divine Clan is sealed within.

Secret Soul Techniques

These appear to be special techniques that are fairly simple and only focus on a person's control of strength and soul force. It appears that these are not tied to a particular cultivation and that anyone can use them.

Nie Li uses his control of soul force in order to win against more powerful opponents. He was able to pierce Shen Yue's greater soul force in order to defeat him. He was also able to use his soul force to amplify his voice. Nie Li could even close off his soul realm before he was even bronze rank. This is a necessary technique that is normally learned by silver demon spiritualists and above in order to capture a demon spirit.

Gu Bai

Gu Bai is the eighth elder of the Gu Clan. For over ten years he has done business with and received gifts from Gu Heng, however he is easy to sway with gifts. After Gu Bei and Nie Li destroys Gu Heng's Deity’s Lakes he asks the elders to punish Gu Bei for going too far. In order to gain the upper hand at the meeting, Gu Bei visits several elders, including Gu Bai and Gu Feng. He flatters Gu Bai and hands over several Spiritual Stone Essences as well as a 6th grade artifact. This is many times what Gu Heng has given Gu Bai in the past.

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. Gu Bai was one of the first to stand up. However, instead of speaking out against Gu Bei, he surprised everyone by supporting him. Soon after, Gu Feng joined him in 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.

Miracle Meridian Hands

It can be difficult for a demon spiritualist to break through the bottleneck in Silver rank. The Miracle Meridian Hands. acupuncture method can be used to force it quickly. The process would involve sealing the blood vessels. One would seal thirty-six acupuncture points and trap their soul force within their Soul Realm.

This way of breaking through, aside from exhausting large amounts of soul force, would also slightly damage the meridians. Because of this, no one would use this kind of method, unless they have absolute confidence in their acupuncture knowledge.

Shadow Devil

* Donghua

A now extinct powerful demon beast. Those who integrated with a Shadow Devil Demon Spirit were all extremely powerful assassins. Even Legend rank Demon Spiritualists would have a hard time guarding against them.

### Demon Spirits

It is said that after the age of the Snow Wind Empire, only seven shadow devil demon spirits remained. Each of these was said to be locked in a spiritual lamp and held together in a temple. However, the lamps were later stolen by thieves. One of these lamps was found by Nie Li in the underground palace of Emperor Kong Ming in the Ancient Orchid City Ruins.

As a demon spiritualist, Nie Li wanted the shadow devil as the first of his demon spirits that he can hold it in his soul realm when he reaches silver rank. Although the Shadow Devil is not particularly strong in its fighting capability, it is a very mysterious demon beast with many unique abilities. When Nie Li reaches silver rank he successfully integrates the Shadow Devil into his soul realm. It's an assassin type creature that uses its void-form to make surprise attacks. It also has a God level growth rate.

### Summoning

The Dark Guild are known for using a Shadow Devil summoning technique. When summoned the Shadow Devil has an appearance like a large shadow with red eyes. It has vicious sweeping claws that strike down everyone within reach. During the meeting of Glory City's experts, Shen Yuan and the other elders of the Sacred Family used this technique. By doing so it was like confirming the fact that they had betrayed Glory City.
