After eleven months at Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Master Academy, Huo Yuhao prepared for vacation while worrying about his slow cultivation and long list of unfinished research tasks.

• Wang Dong said the problem began after Huo Yuhao left as an exchange student and became apparent when she returned to the academy, though she could still use basic Soul Guidance Lamps.

Huo Yuhao told Wang Dong that a hidden power had repeatedly invaded his Sea of Spirit and that he had found a Soul Shard containing part of her memories.

• Huo Yuhao took Wang Dong around Ming Capital, then invited He Caitou to dinner.
• Wang Dong described how Soul Tool education had spread through Shrek Academy and how its Soul Tool Department was reproducing Huo Yuhao’s designs.

• Huo Yuhao and He Caitou realized that the Tang Sect had turned its promising start into a mess by setting standards it could not meet.

Huo Yuhao considered the Tang Sect’s struggles and resolved to avoid repeating its mistakes with the Soul Hall. He planned to use the Undead Demiplane to move large shipments of Rare Metals across borders, hoarding them and selling them gradually for huge profits.

• Huo Yuhao decided the Tang Sect could serve as a partner but that he would focus on building the Soul Hall into his own support.
• Huo Yuhao recalled that Soul Tool sales could not match the enormous profits from the spice business, which was expected to earn him over sixty million Gold Soul Coins that year.

• Huo Yuhao intended to hoard the metals and sell them sparingly to earn large profits without crashing prices.

Huo Yuhao prepared to visit the Clear Sky Sect with Wang Dong to investigate Tang San and the God Realm, despite the danger. After discussing precautions with the others in his Sea of Spirit, he received Qian Duoduo’s approval to go.

• Huo Yuhao told Qian Duoduo he intended to visit Wang Dong’s home, and Qian Duoduo agreed.

• Wang Dong explained how her Flying Soul Tool made it easier to reach her home on the towering, sheer-sided mountain.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong climbed through the Clear Sky Sect’s cloud-covered peak and reached Hao Tian Fortress. Electrolux detected traces of God Realm Origin Qi and suspected Tang San had left behind a crude contingency, leaving Huo Yuhao to wonder how vulnerable Tang San might be.

• Huo Yuhao found that his Mental Detection could not perceive anything within the mountain’s clouds, while his Eye of Destiny showed them as golden.
• Electrolux sensed dense Heaven and Earth Origin Qi and a higher-level energy, then concluded that Tang San had likely brought God Realm Origin Qi to the Clear Sky Sect.
• Electrolux speculated that Tang San lacked knowledge of divine methods and that an Inheritance Pillar might be dispersing the energy to feed the bird Soul Beasts.
• Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong continued climbing and reached a castle standing above the sea of clouds.
• Huo Yuhao identified the castle as Hao Tian Fortress and recalled the Defense Clan’s renowned construction skills.

Huo Yuhao arrived at Hao Tian Fortress, where Wang Dong introduced him to her Second Father and arranged a room for him. As Huo Yuhao discovered the fortress’s unusual cold water, Wang Dong’s fathers discussed whether he could survive the schemes being made against him.

• Huo Yuhao resisted Uncle Tai’s spiritual pressure with his Sword Intent, impressing the man, who warmly welcomed him after Wang Dong introduced him as her Second Father.
• Wang Dong showed Huo Yuhao around Hao Tian Fortress and settled him in a simple room on the second floor.
• Huo Yuhao washed his face with the basin’s freezing water and felt his fatigue disappear.
• On the third floor, Wang Dong’s cyan-haired Father said Huo Yuhao’s talent was not enough to overcome the schemes against him.
• Wang Dong’s Second Father argued that Huo Yuhao’s escape from the first scheme raised doubts about the plot, while her Father wondered whether he could survive the next three.

Huo Yuhao secretly learned that Wang Dong’s Father and Second Father were god-level beings who intended to protect Xiao Dong and Xiao Wu without choosing sides openly. Their conversation also revealed the Mother of All Souls’s role in guiding events, leaving Huo Yuhao to reconsider how much she had anticipated and arranged.

• Wang Dong’s Second Father urged the green-haired man to help Xiao Dong, while the green-haired man warned that provoking the situation could hurt Xiao Wu.
• The green-haired man accused the person who had become Xiao Dong of relying on the Mother of All Souls and explained that her chosen agent had hindered Douluo Continent’s development.
• The green-haired man agreed to help Huo Yuhao secretly and told his brother they would support whoever won so they would not implicate Xiao Wu.
• Electrolux relayed the brothers’ conversation to Huo Yuhao, who realized they were god-level powerhouses and that he had been protected from them.
• Huo Yuhao suspected the Mother of All Souls had arranged events to lead him to the Clear Sky Sect and had used Du Busi’s warning to teach him that Mental Detection could be sensed by powerful opponents.

After learning that Douluo Continent was weakening and that Tang San could not watch him constantly, Huo Yuhao searched for a way to learn more about the God Realm and the mysterious Dragon's Power. He concluded that Di Tian might have the answers, but he did not know how to contact the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King.

• Huo Yuhao puzzled over the identities of Wutong and Wang Dong and the apparent conflict between the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.
• Huo Yuhao reasoned that Douluo Continent could no longer withstand God-level battles and that Tang San was occupied with the Mother of All Souls.
• Huo Yuhao considered seeking God Realm records from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, since Shrek Academy and the Three Great Empires could not be trusted to preserve them.
• Huo Yuhao recalled the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's memories and realized Di Tian might explain Dragon's Power and the God Realm.
• Huo Yuhao wondered how he could establish contact with Di Tian, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King.

Huo Yuhao cultivated on a Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade Marrow bed, absorbing its pure cold essence to strengthen his Second Martial Soul. Ice Empress began releasing power from her seal so he could fuse it safely, and the chapter ended as the process intensified.

• Ice Empress identified the spring water and cold jade bed as rare sources of powerful spiritual energy.
• Huo Yuhao sat on the bed and absorbed its chill, while his Second Martial Soul began drawing in some of the energy and growing stronger.
• Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm discussed their plan to follow the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python's path, despite the danger and Tang San's involvement.
• Ice Empress offered to release part of the power held in her seal, and Huo Yuhao accepted.
• Huo Yuhao began absorbing Ice Empress's jade-green power alongside the bed's icy currents as pain swelled in his torso bone.

Huo Yuhao used the Ice Marrow Jade Bed to help release more of the Ice Empress’s sealed power, rapidly strengthening his Soul Power and body. The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape discussed Huo Yuhao’s unusual knowledge and the divine turmoil as Huo Yuhao broke through to Rank 47 and struggled to feed his two Martial Souls.

• Huo Yuhao absorbed the Ice Marrow Jade Bed’s energy as the Ice Empress’s power flowed from his Torso Bone and strengthened his cultivation.
• The Titan Giant Ape complained that Huo Yuhao was using the Ice Marrow Jade Bed, and the Sky Azure Bull Python said Huo Yuhao seemed to know important things and was aggressively pursuing strength.
• The Titan Giant Ape asked about the Negative Gods’ turmoil, and the Sky Azure Bull Python guessed it might relate to the Darkness Power within Huo Yuhao’s Ice Attribute energy.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python told the Titan Giant Ape to bring wine to Huo Yuhao after he woke, while the Titan Giant Ape left to fetch it and warned him not to hurt Xiao Dong.
• Huo Yuhao used his Mental Power and the Ice Marrow Jade Bed’s energy to control the surging Soul Power, open more of the Ice Empress’s seal, and break through to Rank 47.
• Huo Yuhao sent excess power into his Second Martial Soul and realized that both it and his Spirit Eye Martial Soul consumed precious treasures, leaving him feeling impoverished.

After learning that Wang Dong might be connected to the God Realm figure Wu Tong, Huo Yuhao tried to piece together the confusing clues and questioned whether Wang Dong could be a girl. Wang Dong visited him at dawn, and their teasing left Huo Yuhao with no clearer answers.

• Huo Yuhao concluded that the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python had come to Douluo Continent to protect Wang Dong after failing to protect Wu Tong.
• Huo Yuhao suspected that Wu Tong and Wang Dong were one person whose memories had been split, with Tang San possibly cutting away Wu Tong's Soul Shard.
• Huo Yuhao wondered whether Wang Dong was secretly a girl, but decided he should ask Mu En rather than investigate with True Eye.
• Wang Dong entered Huo Yuhao's room at dawn and joked that the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow Jade Bed had been a good gift.
• Huo Yuhao thanked Wang Dong for the bed's benefits, and Wang Dong playfully suggested that Huo Yuhao could give himself to him as compensation.

Huo Yuhao grew closer to the Titan Giant Ape over a meal and drinks at the Clear Sky Sect, while the Titan Giant Ape arranged for Wang Dong to show him around and fetch wine from the Sect Forbidden Ground. After the Titan Giant Ape left, Huo Yuhao suspected that the Sky Azure Bull Python’s absence and his invitation to the forbidden ground were not coincidences.

• The Titan Giant Ape welcomed Huo Yuhao and dismissed his apology for drawing out the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow Jade Bed, saying it had been meant for him.
