After the Ice Empress benefited from absorbing a piece, the Titan Snow Demon King and Xiao Bai agreed to submit to Huo Yuhao, who gave them and the Snow Empress pieces of the marrow.

• Tang San searched the Land of the Extreme North but found nothing because Huo Yuhao’s Primordial Beginning Source concealed his traces and altars.
