***Black Panther*** is an upcoming American superhero film. It stars Chadwick Boseman as the title role.

## Development and Production

In 2009, Marvel attempted to hire a gathering of scribes to help come up with creative ways to launch its lesser-known properties, such as Black Panther, Cable, Doctor Strange, Iron Fist, Nighthawk and Vision. In January 2011, Marvel Studios hired documentary filmmaker Mark Bailey to write a script for The Black Panther to be produced by studio head Kevin Feige. Marvel co-president Louis D’Esposito said he thought about making a Black Panther Marvel One-Shots film but felt it would be too complicated to do as a short film. On July 9, 2014, Raw Leiba revealed he is in talks to play Erik Killmonger in the film. Feige said in October 2013 that a film is in development.

In October 2014, Marvel Studios officially confirmed Black Panther, scheduled for release on November 3, 2017 as part of its Phase Three slate of films. Additionally, the character will be portrayed by Chadwick Boseman and will debut in *Captain America: Civil War* in 2016. In February 2015, the release date was moved to July 6, 2018. In April 2015, Feige revealed that he would be meeting with directors after the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron at the end of the month. On June 25, 2015, Screencrush reports that Feige has met with Selma director Ava DuVernay on about directing the film. However, on July 3, 2015, DuVernay confirmed to Essence that she will not be directing Black Panther because of creative differences with Marvel executives when "it comes down to story and perspective".

### Story

The episode begins with Nie Li ordering the group to retreat into the forest, where the Gorillas will have difficulty moving in. They started to eliminate the Grey Gorillas with Nie Li's help, with a few members of Chen Linjian's group creating a formation. Ye Ziyun and Huyan Lanruo hunted down the Gorillas with their demon spirits, and within a short amount of time, all the Gorillas are down except for the Spirit Grade Gorilla. The Spirit Grade Gorilla then start to summon its fellow Gorillas, which caused Nie Li to think if this situation continues, then their group will be taken over and eliminated. The Spirit Grade Gorilla then attempted to strike Chen Linjian with its palm, but his underling rushed in and took the hit for him, and sent to a tree some distance away and soon died. Chen Linjian is angered at the loss of an underling, however he cannot do anything as more and more Gorillas are showing up, and he orders his group to split into six groups to group up later. The episode ends with Nie Li staying behind to take care of the Spirit Grade Gorilla, and forces Ye Ziyun and Huyan Lanruo to retreat without him.

Enhancing Pill

This is a type of elixir that is refined using alchemy. Like most of Glory City's elixirs many of these are lost during the Age of Darkness. When Nie Li joins the Alchemy Association he starts to give them some of these lost formulas.

Types of Enhancing Pills:

* Flame Type Cold Resistance Pill - This helps defend against snow and ice attacks. Since most of the demon beasts in the St. Ancestral Mountains are the are Snow Wind Type this will prove very useful.
* Demon Spirit Strengthening Pill - This greatly enhance the demon spirit’s strength, however it also causes long term damage towards the Demon Spirit.
* Demon Soul’s Essence Elixir - An extremely rare item that can be used to refine a demon spirit. It is also one of the prizes given to the person who has the top spot on the Saint Soul Ground's Saint Soul Board at the yearly competition.

Emperor Tian Yuan

Emperor Tian Yuan was a supreme expert from the Ancient Era and an ancestor of the Sky Origin Divine Clan in the Draconic Ruins Realm. At one time he fought against the Sage Emperor and lost. The last remnants of his intent, as well as his clan, were sealed away into the Endless Wilderness.

This remnant discovered Nie Li and drew him and Long Yuyin into a separate space using the Gargantuan Intent Divine Technique. He was curious about how Nie Li had managed to gather the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting with only the strength of a Heavenly Star Realm expert, but most wanted to question him over why he had bought so many Shy Origin Divine Clan members. He found it difficult to believe Nie Li when he claimed to want to set them free.

It wasn't until Nie Li told him about his death at the hands of the Sage Emperor and subsequent rebirth in the past that the intent began to believe what he said. He asked about how he had lost against the Sage Emperor in his last life and learned that Nie Li held the Temporal Demon Spirit Book, allowing him to manipulate the flow of time and space.

Now that he believed Nie Li's words, Emperor Tian Yuan was sure that he was the best chance they had to defeat the Sage Emperor. He offered to help him, as long as swore to free the Sky Origin Divine Clan after the Sage Emperor's defeat and Nie Li agreed. He then gave Nie Li a few hundred Divine Phaseless Fruits and hundreds of armours and weapons that surpassed the Martial Ancestor Realm level. He also gave Nie Li the Myriad Spiritual Sword Array, which he immediately placed inside the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.

Nie Li also asked Tian Yuan if he knew of Emperor Kong Ming from the Tiny World. He thought that the person Nie Li was asking about might be a talented expert that was hunted by the Sage Emperor's Deity servants a few hundred years ago. After Nie Li revealed that he also was from the Tiny World, Tian Yuan came to an understanding of a connection between the two. He suddenly had great confidence that Nie Li was their best hope of defeating the Sage Emperor.

The intent suddenly turned his focus onto Long Yuyin. He could do nothing more to help Nie Li, but he could help her. He suddenly poured a large amount of energy into her, raising her cultivation directly from the Heavenly Axis realm to 6 stage Dao of Dragon. Emperor Tian Yuan then imparted on her the Divine Pulse Cultivation Technique, taking her as his first and only disciple.

Before Nie Li and Long Yuyin left, the intent let him know that if he ever has trouble with the Sky Origin Divine Clan he can show them the Myriad Spiritual Sword Array and they will listen to him.

Episode 15

### Story

The story begins with Shen Yue attacking Nie Li, asking "what has Ziyun said to you??" Nie Li's gang tries to help him, but was stopped by Shen Yue's gang of bullies, which was at least bronze rank themselves. Shen Yue's gang taunts Nie Li's friends, saying that it is better if they stand there and watch Nie Li being "Accidentally" knocked away by Shen Yue. The scene turns back to Nie Li and Shen Yue, with the latter furiously asking Nie Li to stay away from Ye Ziyun in the future or else he will be attacked again. Nie Li then starts his counterattack by grabbing Shen Yue's hand meridians intensively, in a way that Shen Yue cannot counterattack. Shen Yue's right hand then becomes numb, with his gang coming over to ask him if he's alright. Shen Yue then questions Nie Li, asking what kind of 'demonic skill' did he use on Shen Yue's hand. Angered, Shen Yue started to use Soul Force from his Soul Realm to attack Nie Li. Seeing this, Nie Li's friends started to become extremely worried for Nie Li, and tried to break through Shen Yue's gang to help him. Nie Li then concentrates his killing intent accumulated from his previous life and fires it at Shen Yue's forehead and soul realm, causing him to shiver in trepidation and thus stopped the attack on Nie Li. Shen Yue then started to wet his pants in fear, with Nie Li ridiculing at Shen Yue for wetting his pants, started to pick him up and threw him towards a corner in the library. Heavily fearful of Nie Li, Shen Yue orders his gang to bring him out of the library as soon as possible. Nie Li's friends then walked over, praising Nie Li, saying "How does he do it" and even force Shen Yue to such a state of fright. Nie Li then says farewell to his friends, saying to wait for his 'good news'. The episode ends with Nie Li meeting Xiao Ning'er in the forest for her second treatment.

### Events

* Shen Yue starts a fight with Nie Li, which ends up with Shen Yue defeated.
Deity’s Lakes

Each of these iconic floating mountains that can be seen floating in the air around the Draconic Ruins Realm, holds a Deity's Lake at its base. A Deity’s Lake would absorb a large amount of Heavenly Energy from the surrounding area and use it to produce spiritual stones. Because there were many Deity’s Lakes around, they thinned out the Heavenly Energy in the Draconic Ruins Realm.

A Deity’s Lake that is within three thousand years old is at its prime, and thus its most flourishing period. It will produce large numbers of spiritual stones annually. Once those three thousand years have passed, a they will gradually begin to dry up.

The number of Deity’s Lakes is extremely limited. As the years pass, the number of lakes are becoming less, so the supply of spiritual stones was perpetually unable to meet the demand. This results in an intense battle over the Deity’s Lakes by the large sects.

* Deity Island
* Nie Li in Deity Lake
* Removing Deity Root

### **Deity Roots**

At the heart of each Deity's Lake is a Deity Root. They are believed to possess intelligence. They burrow deep underground, absorbing the essences between Heaven and Earth. After being nurtured that way for thousands of years, it would gradually amass a mountain of earth and slowly float into the sky, forming a Deity’s Lake. Then, it would produce spiritual stones as it grows from absorbing the ambient Heavenly Energy.

When a Deity’s Lake dries up, the Deity Root will also disappear. The only way to remove a Deity Root from the earth is to use special inscription pattern arrays.

After acquiring the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting, Nie Li was able to capture several Deity Roots and place them inside the painting. After being placed within the painting the Deity Roots would quickly form a new Deity’s Lake and started producing far more spiritual stones then it ever had before. It even formed three spiritual stone essences in a month, a rate that should be unthinkable in low grade Deity's Lakes.

A medium grade Deity's Lake is about three times the size of the near dead Ling Jade Deity's Lake.

Deity's Lake Grades in the Draconic Ruins Realm:

Draconic Ruins Realm

A separate domain from the Divine Continent. It is far larger and not restricted by the Power of Law so its experts are far higher in cultivation. A mural depicting this realm was on the walls of the Death God's Tomb. This included huge floating islands with gorgeous mountains and rivers as well as the ruins of a palace floated among them.

One of the most valuable things in the Draconic Ruins Realm are Spiritual stones because Heavenly Energy is extremely thin in the Draconic Ruins Realm. The spiritual stones contain pure Heavenly Energy collected in Deity’s Lakes which can be used to greatly assist one's cultivation.

There are 3000 subsidiary realms/domains connected to the Draconic Ruins Realm, with most being made up of a main world and smaller realms. Furthermore, the Draconic Ruins Realm itself is one of the Three Thousand Greater Realms. The portal between the Divine Continent, also called the Tiny World, and the Draconic Ruins Realm only opens once every five years. When it opens only those who have come from the Divine Continent can travel to it though, those born in the Draconic Ruins Realm are unable to enter. Because of this, It is common for experts that have left the Divine continent to become ambassadors between the Draconic Ruins Realm Sects and those with talent in the tiny world.

The master-disciple relationship is very important in the Draconic Ruins Realm. The success of the disciple reflects onto the master and vice-versa. It is seen as the highest sin for a disciple to betray their master, causing them to be hunted down and killed. Each master forms a Soul Seal with their disciples to ensure loyalty.

Other than the sects, there is the Gods Craft Pavilion, as well as a few powerful trading companies, that hold a lot of influence.

Emperor Kong Ming

A mysterious emperor of the Sacred Empire. He used his title as his form of address, which was a very strange thing. He also left the Sacred Empire in the middle of his rule and passed his throne to his son. It’s said that he had already cultivated to the extent of becoming immortalized.

His hidden tomb was discovered by Nie Li and Ye Ziyun in the underground palace beneath a ruined statue in the Ancient Orchid City Ruins. Nie Li was able to determine which direction the tomb was due to the Sacred Empire's belief in Numerology. According to which, Kong Ming's tomb must be built facing the south.

The Dark Guild used an artifact left by him to summon the Abyss Demon that attacked the City Lord's Mansion.

Within the Ten Millennium Spatial Array Nie Li discovered a monument placed by Kong Ming when he broke through legend rank. It said:

This monument recorded who he was and left behind a ten word chant with profound insight towards the martial path. At a later time the monument was vandalized, with the profound chant being scraped off by the one that calls himself the Demon Lord. However Nie Li was still able to learn the chant, as well as see who had vandalized the monument, by "reading" the memories that the monument held. The profound chant was:

Also in those memories, Emperor Kong Ming declared that he used the Great Change Heavenly Calculation Technique to see that there will be only five great cultivators that will gain insight from his chant. Those five will kill each other and in doing so devour the others understanding. The last one remaining will meet with Emperor Kong Ming himself.

When Nie Li met the remnant intent of Emperor Tian Yuan in the Draconic Ruins Realm, he asked if he had every heard of Emperor Kong Ming and discovered that he had left the tiny World a few hundred years ago. His cultivation had quickly advanced and caught the attention of the Sage Emperor. Emperor Kong Ming engaged in battle with the Deity rank servants of the Sage Emperor for several days, but ultimately disappeared and has not been seen since.

*Note: Also referred to as "Godstream."*

This is a rather common type of Special Technique used for escaping by turning ones body into a streak of light. Nie Li used it to escape from Murong Yu in the Ghastly Ruins training grounds.

The Demon Lord's Artifact most likely used something like this technique to allow him to escaped from Nie Li after he killed Ye Zong.

Cultivation Hall

The Cultivation Hall is a location in the Skysoul Institute of the Divine Feathers Sect. This is the place where missions are assigned. After students complete their missions, they would return here to receive their spiritual stones, artifacts, and various other rewards.

The walls of the hall are covered in paper listing missions that can be taken on and what their reward is when completed. The first mission that Nie Li took on when arriving at the Institute was to heal Gu Lan of her illness for a thousand spiritual stones.

Types of missions:

* hunting for a particular demon spirit - Since the demon spirit needs to have at least an Extraordinary growth rate in order to get the rewards, these missions are quite difficult.
* forging weapons
* collecting materials
* healing people that are injured

Age of Darkness

*Manhua variant: Name is changed to "Dark Times."*

Current age at the time of the story. It is a period characterized by strong monsters and a decline in human civilization. In the past the eras were named after the strongest empire of that time. The Age of Darkness has no such empires.

The Age of Darkness was started when a demon beast that had unlocked its divine wisdom, broke through to a realm beyond legend rank. When this happened it was felt by the top experts of the day. Three hundred of them attacked it, but all died in failure. In a rage the demon beast commanded its kind to attack humanity, wiping out most of human civilization within a few months. This is known as the demon beast riot and is what started the Age of Darkness.

A black gold rank demon beast with incredible high strength. It uses physical attacks, taking advantage of that raw force to inflict damage.

As a demon spirit, it is one of the hardest to control. Before it was added to the Tai Yi Killing Array portion of the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array, it remained unused as no Demon Spiritualist has been able to integrate with it successfully.

Nie Li used a **Frost Steel Divine Needle** to scrape a tiny sliver of the fruit, which is then diluted in Rootless Water ten thousand times, is used in the elixir. Furthermore, the main purpose of the other herbs is to weaken the fruits power even more. Because of it terrifying strength, it take at least three days for a single one to be completely absorbed.

The elixir can cause someone to rise several levels or even break through to a new realm. As the medical effects rush into the Soul Realm they can cause it feel like its going to burst, but at the same time also nourish and replenish it.

* Sacred Elixirs - Dao of Dragon
* Unknown - Martial Ancestor Realm

Episode 41

### Story

The story begins with Shen Fei and Xiao Yi appearing inside the Winged Dragon Family's secretive area, with Xiao Yi treating him like a young master. Xiao Yi questions Shen Fei what business he has at this late night, with Shen Fei rebutting that the Winged Dragon Family has a lot of courage, since they allowed Nie Li to seduce "his woman". Xiao Yi hastily explains that this matter isn't his fault, while saying that the true fault lies in Xiao Yunfeng, who has failed to teach his daughter correctly. Shen Fei laughs and says that he knows the fault doesn't lie in Xiao Yi, which prompts the latter to thank Shen Fei. Shen Fei says that it's time for the Winged Dragon Family to change patriarchs, since Xiao Yunfeng has performed badly. Shen Fei next materializes a chest full of treasures from his Interspatial Ring, saying that if one day, he and Ning'er managed to get married, then this chest will be Xiao Yi's. Shen Fei next tells Xiao Yi to come over, and he whispers something that the audience is unable to hear. The scene next changes to Xiao Ning'er, where she is remembering the first time she meets Nie Li and the time where he treats her with the Daoyin Technique. She thanks Nie Li in her thoughts, thinking that if it isn't because of him, she won't be able to master Soul Forming and gain the approval of the elders in her family. Her servant next comes in and tells Ning'er that the bath water is ready. Nie Li next appears and tells her that he sees Shen Fei going inside the elder's area in her family suspiciously. He then explains that Shen Fei, being the type of person he is, he won't go into elder's area without any reason and the main reason must have something to do with Ning'er.

Demon Beast Horde

A demon beast horde is a natural disaster that started with the Age of Darkness. What exactly triggers one is unknown, but it seems that Demon Lord of the Dark Guild is able to somehow incite them. A demon beast horde most closely resembles an endless stampede that is directed towards human settlements. High ranking demon beasts, especially those that have unlocked their Spiritual Wisdom, can also issue commands. An example of this occurred in the most recent demon beast horde that attacked Glory City with the 5 star black gold rank Snow Wind Great Ape.

There have been hundreds of thousands of demon beast hordes since Glory City's founding. They can range from fairly weak with few members, to numbering in the hundreds of millions. The strength of a horde also depends on the highest rank demon beast that appears as well as the overall attribute type. It seems that conflicting attribute types don't often mix into the same horde and that the natural environment has a great influence on the types that will appear.

Known Demon Beast Hordes:

 Most recent horde to attack Glory City (Nie Li was 14)

Leagues

These are the forces organized under different strong leaders. They are oversaw by the Skysoul Institute's League Hall.

Once an expert signed a League contract, they would be bound to it. Despite that, the majority of the newcomers still joined various large forces. When an expert reached 2 fate Heavenly Fate Realm, they’d head for the Outside World. However, in order to obtain more resources, it was a must for them to be part of a larger force.

Before these newcomers joined a force, they’d make sure that their potential boss had prospects. After all, once the contract was signed, its effects would always be in place, unless special circumstances occurred. If they broke their league contracts, it’d be hard for them to gain a foothold within the Divine Feathers Sect.

Episode 11

### Story

The story begins with Shen Yue greatly angered at Nie Li, but didn't do anything because he is correct about his family's ancestor copying patterns from the Book of Divine Lightning Fire. Nie Li then tries to provoke Shen Yue more and more, seemly not afraid that Shen Yue might use his status to threaten him. Shen Xiu then stops the ongoing menace, and sarcastically "thanks" Nie Li for speaking and pointing out Sacred Family's mistakes. After some time, school is over and the plagiarism about Sacred Family is spread throughout Glory City, where Nie Li is secretly laughing triumphantly. The next scene shows Shen Xiu storming into Ye Sheng's room in the institute, saying that Nie Li is being rude to his teachers and demanding that he should be kicked out of the school to repent on his mistakes. Ye Sheng then calms Shen Xiu down, saying that although Nie Li is being rude, the matter isn't that heavy for the student to be kicked out. Shen Xiu then leaves, saying that Nie Li will automatically leave the institute if he cannot reach bronze rank in two months. This causes Yu Sheng to 'shake his head', asking the heavens why is all of Sacred Family so cocky. Nie Li then receives the Library Clerk Title from the Vice Principal, with his friends praising him and questioning about his vast knowledge. The episode then ends with Ye Ziyun reading some books at a corner of the library.

* Donghua - Symbol

*Manhua Variant: Name is changed to "Darkness Association."*

Part of this comes from their habit of kidnapping the children of these families in order to collect a ransom. Their hidden base is thought to be outside of Glory City in the St. Ancestral Mountains. Their robes carry a black demon design on the back.

The Sacred Family's Star Restaurant is a front for the Dark Guild in Glory City to work out of.

Ye Zong has stated that the Dark Guild is trying to push the demon beasts into attacking Glory City. It is implied that this is likely what caused Glory City's destruction in Nie Li's past life, though Nie Li is currently unaware of this possible connection between the Dark Guild and the demon beast attack.

Nie Li later discovers that the Dark Guild is based out of Blackrock City in the Nether Realm. Though he doesn't personally run into them while there. He does manage to push them into a corner by sending several high ranking Demigod level experts after them. However, the Dark Guild disappears before they are confronted.

In the ancient past two supreme experts who gained insight on the legendary unbounded profound, fought over this tower. These experts even surpassed the Spiritual Gods. One of the experts supposedly died while the other was gravely wounded. When the tower fell onto the land it turned it into the Flaming Wastelands and could not be moved again. It is likely that one of the experts was Kong Yan.

It appeared on the eighth layer of the Nine-Layered Deathlands during the Lord of Nether's Disciple Selection. Within the tower are powerful black flames that could cripple ones cultivation. The flames have the ability to directly attack ones Soul Realm and only someone with a strong soul can withstand them.

The strength of the flames grows stronger as one advances up the floors of the tower. The flames on the first floor still carried highlights of vivid scarlet, but the flames of the top floor would be pitch black, like ink. There are also some extremely strong Demon Beasts chained up on some of the floors.
