• Huang Fen found a Soul-Gathering Land and planned to restore his soul before refining the Drought Demon Body anew and taking revenge on Xuan Ning.

• The Iron-Black Warship’s survivors began tallying Merit, with the Luochuan Sect’s exchange ranking offering far more rewards, including Golden Core Formation Pills.

Fairy Yunhua began tallying the households’ Merit, while Yang Tianyou considered how the exchange system balanced rewards, death compensation, and the sect’s control over subordinate lineages. The Huang Household received 2,460 Merit, much of it for its battle losses, and the tally showed how profitable the campaign could be for those who survived.

• Fairy Yunhua invited the crowd to begin exchanging Merit, and Huang Chunhua volunteered first.

• Yunhua offered the exchange list, and the Yang and Liu Households decided to spend some of their merits while Huang Chunhua chose to save his.
• After discussing the list, the Yang Household spent 3,920 battle merits on three Foundation Establishment Pills, a Red-Wing Flying Eagle corpse, half a trunk of Fire Cedar Wood, and Jingfeng's Alchemy Insights.

Yang Tianyou collected supplies for the Yang Household and learned that the Foreign Races were withdrawing after the Devil Cultivators suffered heavy losses. He and Yang Haoyu favored ending the war and strengthening the Lineage, though the Immortal Dao leaders had not yet decided.

• The Yang and Liu Household cultivators exchanged Merit for supplies, including materials for a Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Flying Boat, and traveled to Yellowstone Market.

• Yang Haoyu explained that she preferred stability over further war, and Yang Tianyou agreed that the Yang Household should focus on building its strength.

• The Foreign Races withdrew from Dragon Valley County, and Taihao True Person chose a truce instead of a counterattack.
• Feng Yuezhi told Feng Qingyang to focus on winning over the Foundation Establishment Lineages, including the Yang, Liu, and Huang Households, and advised him to approach them cautiously.

• The truce became a Heaven and Earth Contract, and Yang Tianyou returned to Crouching Ox Pass three days later.

After the Cold Tide ended, Crouching Ox Pass was rebuilt as both a frontier stronghold and a trading hub, and local powers gathered to decide how its districts would be divided. The conference began with Taihao True Person outlining the factors for evaluating each faction, while the Yang Household kept its plans to seek independence from the Feng Household and Three Rivers Sect secret.

• Yang Tianyou and Yang Tianwang looked out over Crouching Ox Pass and spoke of the Household’s future after the Cold Tide.
• Taihao True Person led the rebuilding of Crouching Ox Pass’s defenses and infrastructure, preparing it to serve as a base and marketplace for frontier trade.
• Foundation Establishment representatives gathered for the conference, and Huang Chunhua took the Feng Household’s side instead of standing with the Three Rivers Sect’s forces.
• Yang Tianyou and Yang Haoyu agreed to remain noncommittal toward the Feng Household while keeping their plan to help Yang Haoyu reach Golden Core Formation secret.
• Jin Lianri, Zheng Qiufeng, Red Cloud True Person, Feng Yuezhi, Feng Qingyang, Taihao True Person, Fairy Yunhua, and Song Xuhui arrived, and Taihao True Person opened the conference by explaining how districts would be allocated.

The factions debated how to divide Crouching Ox Pass’s three districts, with Feng Yuezhi challenging the Three Rivers Sect’s claim to the Eastern District. Fairy Yunhua unexpectedly supported leaving the district with the weakened sect, shifting the balance of the discussion.

• Taihao True Person assigned the Northern District to Rogue Cultivators and told the factions to decide how to divide the other three districts.
• Red Cloud True Person claimed the Eastern District for the Three Rivers Sect, but Feng Yuezhi argued that its losses weakened its claim.
• Feng Yuezhi called on the Foundation Establishment Lineages to state their positions, and Huang Chunhua and several other households opposed the Three Rivers Sect.
• Yang Haoyu and two other lineages supported the Three Rivers Sect, while Jin Lianri offered the Yang Household additional bargaining power through the Gold and Silver Alliance.
• Fairy Yunhua argued that the Three Rivers Sect’s sacrifice in defending Dragon Valley County justified leaving its occupation of the Eastern District unchanged.

Yunhua’s support helped settle the Eastern District dispute in favor of dividing it between the Three Rivers Sect and the Feng Household, while the Yang Household gained influence as the lineages divided the remaining territories. The chapter ended with Huang Chunhua accepting the only territory left after the Feng Household’s allies had claimed theirs.

• Yunhua denied that she was speaking for the Luochuan Sect, and her support prompted wavering lineages to back the Three Rivers Sect.
• Feng Yuezhi agreed that the Three Rivers Sect would keep the Eastern District and the Feng Household would take the Western District.
• Yang Haoyu and Yang Tianyou discussed their strained relationship with the Three Rivers Sect and the need for Yang Haoyu to break through to Golden Core first.
• Yang Haoyu, Liu Changsheng, Zhuang Beisheng, and other lineages claimed territory in the Southern District, while no one took the Huang Household’s former area.
• The lineages under the Feng Household divided the remaining territories, leaving Huang Chunhua to accept the sole portion that remained.
