Horned Sheep

* Manhua - Enraged

* Donghua - Enraged

This is a 1 star bronze rank demon beast, so the materials from it have little value. They are used in the lowest part of the Holy Orchid Institute's training ground. The only things worth collecting are: the horns, fur on the neck, demon crystal, and demon spirit. They are a demon-ized creature, so their reaction speed is extremely fast and their strength is the same as two bronze fighters combined.

Although they are very aggressive in nature, they are still herbivores therefore their attacks at most would cause serious injuries. They listen for an outsider to enter their territory, and then they mercilessly attack it. Nie Li, Du Ze, and Lu Piao hunted the horned sheep using a mixture of Black Pool Grass and Zoysia Grass.

He Gui

He Gui works for the Gu Clan and is a trusted aid of Gu Heng that started using his position to embezzle Spiritual Stones. He would then travel to the nearby Mingshan Stronghold and spend generously on alcohol and women.

Somehow, Gu Bei heard about He Gui's embezzlement and decided to use this knowledge to blackmail and bribe him into turning traitor on Gu Heng. While at a brothel, He Gui was approached by Gu Bei, Nie Li, Lu Piao, and Li Xingyun and offered two thousand spiritual stones every time he reports on Gu Heng's location. While if he refuses, Gu Bei will let Gu Heng find out about the embezzlement.

Not having much choice in the matter, He Gui agreed with the condition that they help him pull down another of Gu Heng's aids, Chai Yue. Chai Yue had never gotten alone with him and he wished to bring him down a bit. Gu Bei agreed to this and planned on framing Chai Yue as the traitor. Before leaving, He Gui wrote letters implicating himself at Gu Bei's request and then was given two thousand spiritual stones. Though he had not agreed completely willingly, he still also was very pleased with the amount of spiritual stones.

He kept up with his side of the deal and provided Gu Bei with Gu Heng's location several times, allowing them to ambushed and kill him. Since Chai Yue had either safely escaped or not been present during these attacks, He Gui had successfully made Gu Heng start to distrust him. On top of that, He Gui had also been bad mouthing Chai Yue in front of Gu Heng, further lowering his opinion of him.

He Gui was with Gu Heng and Chai Yue when they discovered that the Heiyun Deity’s Lake had been destroyed by Nie Li's troops. When He Gui suggested heading to the Guyu Deity’s Lake, Chai Yue said that he thought they should head to the more distant Lightning Deity’s Lake. Much to his glee, Gu Heng decided to choose He Gui's suggestion. This was further proof that Gu Heng no longer trusted Chai Yue.

This is one of the demon beast spirits that a member of the Dark Guild who attacked the City Lord's Mansion merged with.

This demon spirit appears to excel in agility and stealth. Its attacks are made with its sharp claws or a large spike that can shoot from its back.

Gu Kuan is one of the young members of the Gu Clan and a follower of Gu Heng. He was at the sparring matches held on the second night of the visit by the Heavenly Note and Skyblaze Sects. Because his rank was close to what Gu Heng thought Gu Bei's strength was at, he chose Gu Kuan to spar with him.

Gu Heng also secretly directed Gu Kuan to show no mercy in beating Gu Bei down. This was just fine with Gu Kuan, who considered Gu Bei a worthless good-for-nothing. When the match began, he immediately merged with his Iron Back Goshawk and attacked at full strength. However, Gu Bei expectantly avoided his attack then slammed him into the stage, defeating him in one move.

Myriad Ancestor Sword

The Myriad Ancestor Sword is one of the two extremely powerful Godslayer Artifacts which have existed since ancient times. It was controlled by the Ancestral God Land, making them one of the most powerful forces in the Draconic Ruins Realm. While the other Godslayer Artifact, the Sacred Demon Blade is controlled by its enemy, the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land.

During an ancient great battle, the sword was separated into seven pieces. The Ancestral God Land holds one section, while each of the six divine sects holds the others. In order to keep this important treasure hidden, typically only the strongest Martial Ancestor Realm expert will know of its existence and stand as its protector. Only passing it to another when they are about to die. Within the current Divine Feathers Sect, the one protecting it is most likely Hierarch Martialsky.

After recovering her memories, Yu Yan believes that only the Myriad Ancestor Sword could be powerful enough to break the seal on the Tiny World. By breaking the seal placed by the World Creator, the Tiny World would no longer be protected. Though this is dangerous, she believes that they must hurry to find the Temporal Demon Spirit Book, which is hidden there. The Myriad Ancestor Sword can conceal the aura of the Temporal Demon Spirit Book after they find it, protecting it from the Sage Emperor.

During Nie Li's visit to the Heavenly Note Sect, he exchanged the fragment of the Myriad Ancestor Sword of Nangong Xianyin for 5 Sacred Elixirs hundredfold more effective than those they had already receive from Ye Ziyun and Xiao Ning'er. The other Divine sects soon followed, allowing Nie Li to collect six of the fragments.

While fused with this demon spirit he grows pair of huge wings on his back and can fly. He also can use flame attacks such as the Scarlet Dragon Burst, which causes a pillar of flame to burst out of his mouth. He also can use Sacred Dragon Pillar, which causes a wide pillar of flame to descend from the sky.

Soul Scales

Soul Scales are a good material for forging Soul Weapons. Nie Li comes across a large amount of Soul Scales while in the Ghastly Ruins training grounds. These scales were the foundation of the existence of the hundreds of thousands of Ghouls that roam the training ground. When one of these ghouls is destroyed, the soul scale is collected by the students and turned in for rewards.

These soul scales would disappear if they were removed from the testing grounds or if they are placed in an Interspatial Ring. They could only be carried around in cloth bags and they had to be exchanged at the end of every test. Once a thousand soul scales have been gathered, they would combine to form a single larger soul scale, making it easier to carry.

Nie Wei is an elder of the Heavenly Marks Family and grandfather to Nie Xiaofeng and Nie Xiaori. He was the Enforcement Elder, responsible for punishing those in the family that did wrong. However, he favors those from his own branch of the family and acts harshly with those from different ones. When his grandson Nie Xiaori hit a member of the Tian Ling Family, all he did was send some gifts and didn't punish him at all.

Nie Wei attempts to publicly shame and harshly punish Nie Li for angering the Sacred Family, but it backfires on him. Nie Hai, the Patriarch, realizes that Nie Li has a strong connection to the Alchemy Association and chooses to side with him instead. When the Alchemy Association director, Yang Xin, suggests that Nie Wei be removed from his position, Nie Hai can not possible refuse.

The position of Enforcement Elder is then given to Nie En, a member of Nie Li's branch of the family. Nie Wei's sons are also removed from their positions of Public Hall In-charge and Farm Hall In-charge, which are given to Nie Li's father and uncle.

## Alternate Life

In the past life Nie Wei was particularly harsh on Nie Li. This was mostly out of personal grudges rather then deserved punishment.

His group of two hundred members surrounded and quickly massacred the Hua Ling's Heavenly Fate Realm followers from the Little Heaven Realm at their Ling Jade Deity’s Lake base.

Though he followed orders, Nie Li knew that both Li Hu and his men felt that all this was rather beneath them and had some complaints. To their surprise, Nie Li passed over an interspatial ring with ten thousand spiritual stones as compensation and insisted that they take it. They were all very grateful and knowing that he had such wealth changed the way that they viewed him.

Then after entering the Abyss Prison Realm, he also finds a teleportation array that requires 23 stones of light. In order to leave this dark space they will have to find enough stones of light to activate it.

When he comes across the Silver Winged Family he tricks them into gathering the stones for him. However, they are not so naive as to just hand them over to Nie Li. The stones are carried by Sikong Jue in an Interspatial Ring.

Venerable Witchfeather

Venerable Witchfeather was Ying Yueru and Long Yuyin's master. She held a powerful position in the Divine Feathers Sect because of her Heaven’s Divination Technique. Using that technique, she was tasked with calculating the next Sect master.

She learned this secret technique from Ancestral Master Phaseless and passed it down to her student Ying Yueru. However, this technique has a heavy cost which lead to her death. Long Yuyin believes that Ying Yueru is responsible for their master's death and would have struck out against her if it wasn't for their master's dying wish asking her not to.

Like all practitioners of the Heaven's Divination Technique, Venerable Witchfeather 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.

Heavenly Fate Realm | Heavenly Star Realm

This is the rank above Heavenly Fate Realm and is also broken into nine stages. Each of these stages is marked by the formation of a Fate Star.

The Fate Star forms within the Soul Realm at the center of a person's nine Fate Souls. Each person’s body contains millions upon millions of units, each of which harbors boundless energy. They began shining with a dazzling light as waves of powerful energy flow though their entire body until every part of them glows with starlight. Under this starlight, the energies within those units began showing signs of breaking out and form the Fate Star.

It is important to continue to circulate one's fate stars around their soul realm, causing them to grow brighter. The brighter your fate star glows during your Heavenly Star phase, the stronger you’d be upon reaching the Heavenly Axis Realm.

Skyspirit Stone Array

The Skyspirit Stone Array is similar to the Thousand Illusionary Array in that it traps people in an illusion. The array appears as large pieces of stone that fill a space, suspended in midair. The stones were floating around the space, leaving jet-traces of light in their paths.

Nie Li come upon this array as the last thing protecting the treasure of the Void Illusionary Divine Palace. It can be considered a very high level and complex array, however Nie Li can still freely pass through it.

The array was destroyed by Hierarch Blacknether, a Demon God Sect Martial Ancestor Realm expert while he was searching for the treasure inside the palace.

Ranks

These are the ranks used to describe the strength of a cultivator, including demon beasts. The same ranks are used no matter the type of cultivation method, though sometimes the names are slightly different.

It can be inferred from context that the Sage Emperor that Nie Li refers to from his previous life was most likely at a currently unknown, higher rank of Cultivation. He also states that someone of this rank could live to be two to three hundred years old, but immortality is still not possible.

Beyond legend rank is the Heavenly Fate Realm. Previously Nie Li did not believe that humans of this world could reach the Heavenly Fate Realm, only demon beasts. However, he later learned that one could break into this realm by cultivating a law and becoming a Spiritual God. In this way they merge with a law from the heavens and earth. Even if their physical body is destroyed and their Divine Spark scattered. As long as the heavens and earth still exist they would be immortal.

Past Martial Ancestor, starting with Deity ranks in this final stretch are part of a group called the "Heavenly Dao". Nie Li is stated to have been reaching near the peak of it during his past life (presumably conquering it right before he reincarnated). Furthermore, the Sage Emperor is stated to have thousands of servants, the Deity Rank Demon Beast Generals in particular, that are above the mid-level of it.

\*All soul force estimates Gold Rank and above are speculation based on the fact that 100 soul force -> 1-Star Bronze, 367 soul force -> 3-Star Bronze, and 2000 soul force -> 2-Star Silver.

Gu Yu

**Note: At one point he is referred to as "Gu Yuntian" at another he was called "Gu Tianyun." Since it is unclear which is correct, I will leave it as is for now.**

Gu Yu is the Gu Clan's third elder and a supporter of Gu Heng's to be the next patriarch. It is later revealed that he is Gu Heng's master.

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 Ya wanted to support Gu Bei. Gu Ya also reminded Gu Yu that Gu Heng had also broken some clan rules. This made him worry that the truth about Gu Heng poisoning Gu Lan had been discovered.

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, that his underhanded method of poisoning Gu Lan had been discovered.

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. Since Gu Yu was known to be Gu Heng's master and supporter, he decided to not say much except to say that destroying Diety's Lake should be strongly punished as they are too rare to begin with.

However, 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 Yu that Gu Heng no longer had a chance of claiming the Gu Clan patriarch position. 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, in the end there was nothing he could do.

Hu Tian

One of the members of the Hu Clan under young master Hu Yong. He was one of the nine Heavenly Fate Realm experts that came with him to confront Nie Li outside of the Saint Soul Grounds.

Rather then backing down, Nie Li dared them to attack. Hu Yong knew that he would face serious punishment if he killed Nie Li in the Skysoul Institute, so instead he ordered Hu Tian to take them away to be taught a "lesson."

Just then two elders of the Skysoul Institute, Nanmen Tianhai and Huang Yu, arrived. They made it clear to Hu Yong that they would protect Nie Li and his friends as well as hold up the laws of the school. In this situation there was nothing that Hu Yong could do except throw out a few more threats at Nie Li and leave with Hu Tian and the rest.

Luo Xiao

The patriarch of the Jade Seal Family and father of, Luo Jian. He is a cautious man, who does not judge people by first impressions. When Nie Li is first brought to the Jade Seal family by Luo Jian, Luo Xiao found it difficult to believe that he could be an inscription master. Even still, he was polite and respectful to Nie Li, giving him a chance to prove his words. He tried to ask about his family or where he came from, but Nie Li declined to answer, and he did not push.

As soon as he witnessed Nie Li's skill and the power behind the pattern he just carved, he knew that Nie Li must be a senior inscription master. He could not treat him as an ordinary person and respectfully asked what he wanted from the Jade Seal Family.

Nie Li said that he would inscribe items with inscription patterns for the Jade Seal Family to sell. He would take 70% of the profit and the rest would go to them. He also wanted their protection and help if he had any problems. Luo Xiao readily agreed to this. Besides the money, Nie Li would bring great fame and influence to to his family.

At Nie Li's request, Luo Xiao looked into the Dark Guild and Ye Han. He discovered that Ye Han had joined the Wugui Family and that they are on the move, but nobody knows why. After hearing this news Nie Li tells Luo Xiao that he must leave. Though Luo Xiao does not like it, as Nie Li has become very important to the Jade Seal Family, he knows forcing him will backfire. As a compromise he sends Luo Ming and two other legend rank experts to protect him.

When Nie Li returns to the Nether realm Luo Xiao is with most of the other high ranking members of the family near the entrance to the Nine-Layered Deathlands. Nie Li introduces him to his friends and he is immediately amazed by their high level of cultivation considering their age. He is worried about Nie Li and tells him that it is too dangerous for him to enter the Nine-Layered Deathlands. He feels reassured when Nie Li says that he is only there to observe. He explains about how the selection process has worked in the past and tells him that the door to the seventh layer will open in three days. He also gave Nie Li a VIP token of the Divine Seal Auction House so that if their are any issues he could be protected by it.

When the door to the seventh layer finnaly opens, Luo Xiao truly wishes that Nie Li does not participate in the dangerous Lord of Nether's Disciple Selection. Even still, he knows that he can not stop him. Instead he warns Nie Li to be careful and advises him to enter towards the back. He himself enters the testing grounds along with a group of similarly ranked patriarchs.

Nie Ming

Nie Li's father. Nie Ming is married to Xiao Yun and is the older brother to Nie Kai by three years. He is a farmer with the lowest position in the Heavenly Marks Family. He is a good nurtured, simple type of person with no talent at cultivation at all. He often quarrels with Xiao Yun, but they still have a very strong relationship.

They have always wanted the best for Nie Li, but never blamed him or got angry when he failed. Nie Li is determined that in this life he will change the fates of his parents and be a source of strength that they can depend on. They were both amazed and excited to learn that he had become a 1 Star bronze demon spiritualist and was able to enter the genius class. Nie Li could not tell them that he was actually much stronger than that as it would be too much. Just this much already will raise their status within the family by a lot.

After the Dark Guild's attack, Nie Ming was one of the people that went to the Heavenly Marks Family’s Ancestral Hall. After hearing his son talk back to the Enforcement Elder, Nie Wei, he was extremely frightened. He had never known his son to be so bold. He desperately knelt down, begging for the Elder to forgive his son.

Nie Li will not let his father lower himself in this life and pulls him back up. With the arrival of Yang Xin, Nie Hai realizes that Nie Li has a powerful connection to the Alchemy Association. In order to calm the situation and appease Nie Li, he removes Nie Wei from his position as Enforcement Elder. He then gives Nie Ming the position of Public Hall In-charge. This position was formerly held by Nie Wei's son and governs the family's finances.

Though he really does not full understand what is going on, he does realize that his son has changed greatly and is very proud.

Even after the Heavenly Marks Family's main house is moved to the heart of Glory City, Nie Ming still rarely gets to see his son. On the rare occasion that he does he is always shocked by Nie Li's amazing growth, but cannot help but still worry about his safety. He is there to witness Nie Hai give Nie Li the remnant page. Though he does not know its significance, he tells Nie Li that he must guard such a precious item properly.

## Alternate Life

Nie Li greatly regrets that he could never give his parents a reason to hold up their heads in the last life, though they unconditionally supported him even still. They both died in the demon beast attack on Glory City.

He is one of the people that went with Long Tianming to the Void Illusionary Divine Palace to look for treasure and was there when their group had a run in with Wu Yazi. Even though nine of their people were killed, he voiced out some complaints when Long Tianming decided to back down instead of continue to fight with him.

However, Long Tianming ordered him to watch Wu Yazi and his group carefully, and just as predicted they discovered an entrance into the Thousand Illusionary Array barrier. His suspicions soon proved true and he quickly followed Wu Yazi and his companions into the barrier.

However, once inside they were at the mercy of Wu Yazi's guerilla, hit and run like, attacks. Though Long Tianming is stronger and able to not only withstand Wu Yazi's attacks, but strike back at him, he can not compete with him in speed. While inside the Thousand Illusionary Array, Wu Yazi is able to slowly whittle down his men one by one, until the only ones left alive are Long Tianming and Long Liu. However, even though they were now within the barrier, they were both hopelessly lost and unable to find they way through the illusions to the palace itself.

Later, when both the Thousand Illusionary Array and the interior barrier were broken, Long Tianming and Long Liu entered the palace along with the many other experts. However, Long Liu quickly died after being caught in the Celestial Bound Array in the side chamber with the twenty six golden jade treasure chests. He then most likely revived back in the Divine Feathers Sect's Soul Hall.

Guan Yi

*Note: He's name is translated as Guan Yu in the Manhua*

Guan Yi is a twenty something member of the Xuyu Clan from Nether City. He is one of the three disciples selected by Ming Fei during the Lord of Nether's Disciple Selection to join the Divine Feathers Sect, along with Nie Li and Lu Piao. He had an arrogant attitude due to his reaching the rank of Demigod. Initially he felt some hostility towards Nie Li, as he felt that he was more favored by the Lord of Nether. After arriving in the Draconic Ruins Realm, Xiao Yu made a point of warning him that arrogance will only cause him trouble as in this place his Cultivation was at the low end.

As they approached the Skysoul Institute, the place they would be training in the Divine Feathers Sect, Xiao Yu explained how the institute is subdivided. He told them that they had to take a placement test of their Spiritual Root. This worried Lu Piao, as he was scarred that his talent was too low. Guan Yi found Lu Piao's fear pathetic and looked down on him, angering Nie Li. However, Xiao Yu warned them that the Skysoul Institution doesn’t allow any fights to happen within its territory, aside from challenges in tournaments. There are strict punishments for those who don’t abide by those rules. Guan Yi immediately apologized to Xiao Yu.

When it was time for Guan Yi's spiritual root to be tested, his pride was severely damaged by discovering he only has a 9 grade Man spiritual root. Hua Ling then further disparaged him and anyone else with a Man spiritual root. Despite their earlier argument, Nie Li tried to cheer him up by telling him that although the grade of Spiritual Roots is connected to the speed of cultivation, it's not the deciding factor. This made Guan Yi's reflect on his previous attitude. He thanked Nie Li for his kind words and promised to work hard.

After witnessing Lu Piao's and Nie Li's spiritual root tests showing that they have 5 grade and 8 grade heavenly roots respectively, Xiao Yu warned them that Hua Ling was they type to seek revenge for being humiliated and they should be cautious of him. Guan Yi then separated from the others and headed to the south district, where those with Man spiritual roots are placed.

Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array Book

This book was found by Ye Mo while exploring a deep cave outside of Glory City. He found it with the remains of a legend rank expert. The cave was very dangerous, but because the book gave off a mysterious and powerful aura, he grabbed it and escaped. Ye Mo then sent it back to Glory City with Ye Xiu, but none of the elders could decipher it.

Ye Xiu decided to ask Nie Li about it. After glancing it over, Nie Li told him that it had a very powerful demon beast array from the Woodland Empire called the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Array. When asked if he could set up the array around the City Lord's Mansion he said it would be exhausting and require a huge amount of time. Though Ye Xiu thought Nie Li meant that it would take years, he asked him to do it anyway, as the array could make a huge impact in the event of an attack. Nie Li says that if he was given the materials and 10,000 black gold rank demon spirits, he could have it built in two months.

Six Reincarnated Masters

Since the beginning of time and space, these six people coexisted in harmony as they comprehend the Heavenly Dao. They were the only ones capable of facing the Sage Emperor in the past. Though even they could not destroy him, they were able to band together to weaken him. Since then they have used their intents to continually reincarnate in the hopes of once again reforming their strength and facing him.

In the ancient past a severely wounded Supreme Expert fell into the Draconic Ruins Realm along with a powerful and mysterious book. On the edge of death, the expert ran into the six ancient masters and attempted to steal their soul essences to treat his wounds. However, they fought back, and in the end were able to defeat him.

Soul Seal

A soul seal appears to be a way of binding two people together as a means of ensuring loyalty. Each of the ambassadors from the Draconic Ruins Realm form a soul seal with their chosen disciples.

Nie Li used a type of secret soul seal Inscription Pattern that allows a Demon Spiritualist to integrate a demon spirit without it losing its consciousness. Typically, when a demon spiritualist is killed, its demon spirits are also lost. However, In the case of this Soul Seal, the demon beast voluntarily turns their whole body into a demon spirit, and when the human master dies, it is able to continue to live. Nie Li uses this on the Celestial Qilin that he finds on the third floor of the Black Infernal Tower. He wanted to push it into forming a Soul Seal with Du Ze as the Qilin would be impossible to kill at their current level and it is the perfect demon spirit for him.
