Wang Teng turned the Starry Sky Association’s confrontation with the Wind Cloud Association into a wager that would force the losers to disband and serve as enforcers, while refusing to reveal who was backing them.

Wang Teng defeated Shen Yanfeng and Shi Tianyun, then used the Thunderclap Brick to force them to reveal that Feng Qingyan had orchestrated the Wind Cloud Association’s attacks to recruit him.

After the Starry Sky Association’s victory brought Wang Teng fame, the Azure Flame Association’s leaders decided to answer the humiliation with force. Wang Teng mastered Water Cloud Power, then entered the Ice Dragon Pearl and confronted the sealed Ice Dragon, which backed down when faced with his three Heaven and Earth Strange Fires.

• Feng Qingyan and Ruan Banlian discussed the Azure Flame Association’s damaged reputation and agreed that destroying the Starry Sky Association would silence its critics.
• Wang Teng secluded himself and transformed Water Element Starry Sky Source Power into cloud and mist, strengthening his storm power.
• While Wang Teng cultivated, the Starry Sky Association attracted new recruits, and students competed for places on the Newcomer Ranking List ahead of instructors choosing disciples in six months.
• After mastering Water Cloud Power, Wang Teng tested the Ice Dragon Pearl and found that the Netherworld Cold Ice was absorbed by it.
• Wang Teng entered the Ice Dragon Pearl, resisted its freezing aura with three Heaven and Earth Strange Fires, and summoned the Ice Dragon’s beast soul.
• Wang Teng threatened the Ice Dragon with his flames, forcing it to abandon its attack and agree to talk.

Wang Teng forced the Ice Dragon to negotiate and signed a Soul Contract with its fragment, Icestis, agreeing to earn her recognition by reaching Immortal Level Venerable strength within three hundred years. He discovered the crack in the ancient seal but could only promise to expand it, leaving Icestis's main soul trapped beneath the frozen lake for now.

• Wang Teng attacked the Ice Dragon with three Heaven and Earth Strange Fires until its body melted and its soul fragment emerged; the fragment finally called him Master to make him stop.
• Wang Teng trapped the golden soul fragment in a flame cage and learned that Icestis's main soul remained sealed beneath an ancient rune formation in a frozen lake.
• Icestis proposed an equal Soul Contract, but Wang Teng demanded that she recognize him as master if he reached Immortal Level Venerable strength within three hundred years; Icestis accepted and signed.
• Wang Teng explained that he could not remove the powerful seal without risking the Ice Dragon Pearl's collapse, but he could expand the crack Icestis had opened.
• Wang Teng used his True Sight Eye to locate the crack quickly, and Ancient Ice Rune attribute bubbles appeared around it.

Wang Teng learned the Ancient Ice Rune and carefully widened the sealing formation around Icestis, allowing her divided soul to reach peak Domain Lord Level. After she revealed the location of an ice-type natural marvel, Wang Teng returned to his body and learned that Landon was preparing to travel to Scorpion King Star, a planet full of poisonous creatures.

• Wang Teng mastered insights into the Ancient Ice Rune and identified the sealing formation's crack as part of a formation built with utmost cold power.
• Wang Teng studied the formation for hours, then stopped several linked runes and widened the crack without disrupting the rest of the seal.

• Wang Teng returned to his physical body, gave Yuan Gungun the star chart, and learned that Landon would soon leave for Scorpion King Star.
• Wang Teng learned that Scorpion King Star teemed with poisonous creatures and declared that, unlike Landon, he was a poison-type martial artist.

Wang Teng chose numerous missions on Scorpion King Star to pursue Poison Source Power and investigate Landon, despite the academy warning that the missions had an 80% fatality rate. Before departing, he learned he had been named an Associate Councilman of the Academy Arbitration Association and suspected the appointment was a scheme by the Seven Judges, so he decided not to register for it.

• Wang Teng selected dozens of Scorpion King Star missions, prompting the academy to warn him that they were Nightmare-level and had an 80% fatality rate.
• Wang Teng told Yue Qiqiao and the others he was leaving to carry out missions, then heard that the Starry Sky Association had recruited more than two thousand members.

• Wang Teng decided to postpone registering as an Associate Councilman while he went on his mission, and warned that anyone plotting against him would pay a price.

When Xiao Qing'er’s frigid energy erupted, Wang Teng revealed his strength to rescue her, and the group reached a rare Python Pattern Purple Jade at the bottom.
