He returned Shui Bing'er to Skywater City, reunited her with Bing Yun, and prepared to travel to the Extreme North, while Bibi Dong continued plans to hunt the Star Dou Great Forest’s two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.

Shi Yi and the three women searched the Extreme North for a suitable Soul Beast, where he encountered the powerful Snow Empress and escaped after a brief clash. They found Tian Meng hiding in an ice cave, and Shi Yi tried to persuade the Ice Silkworm to become Shui Bing'er's Soul Ring by showing it Sea God's Light.
