Chapter Summaries

Jiang Nannan faced the first test of true feelings and chose to acknowledge Xu Sanshi’s past kindness without forgiving what he and the Xuanming Sect had done to her. As the trials strengthened the mysterious voice, Huo Yuhao was drawn into a new encounter with an unidentified man after Tang San and Rong Nianbing began a godly plan in the God Realm.

• The calm voice showed Jiang Nannan how Xu Sanshi had secretly helped her mother, but Huo Yuhao reminded her that past good deeds did not erase past wrongs.
• Jiang Nannan passed the first test after deciding she would no longer hate Xu Sanshi or his sect, but would never accept Xu Sanshi as her lover and would return to care for her mother.

• Huo Yuhao’s Soul Shock failed to break the Golden Cocoon, which vanished and left him facing a man whose existence his Spiritual Detection could not sense.

Huo Yuhao endured repeated deaths at the hands of a blue-gold figure while Electrolux confronted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm over his plan to force Yuhao toward godhood. Under Tang San's Power of Emotion, Huo Yuhao relived fragmented memories until he resolved to leave Duke White Tiger's Mansion and take his mother's surname.

• The blue-gold figure isolated Huo Yuhao from his companions, killed him, and repeatedly revived him, while a white pagoda containing his soul was shattered.

Xu Jie discovered that his compressed golden Fireball could disperse the Valley of Asking for Love's fog, while Huo Yuhao endured repeated soul-shattering trials and finally rejected a demand to cheat. After learning that Xu Jie could clear the fog, Du Busi carried him toward its center to rescue Yuhao.

• Xu Jie removed his mask, told Long Xiaoyao he was leaving, then demonstrated to Du Busi that his golden flame could disperse the fog.
• Du Busi grabbed Xu Jie and flew toward the center of the fog to rescue Huo Yuhao.

Xu Jie used his Sun Martial Soul to weaken the fog around the Valley of Asking for Love while a ritual manipulated Huo Yuhao’s memories and consciousness. After Bright City was devastated by an explosion, Huo Yuhao was drawn into the valley’s trial, where he fought the ritual’s attempt to revive Dai Huabin; the blue-gold figure confronted him and declared that the ritual was nearly complete.

• Xu Jie’s Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light began dissolving the fog, and Xuan Zi recognized him but stayed back at Du Busi’s warning.
• The ritual forced Huo Yuhao to relive Dai Huabin’s death, while Tian Meng restrained the Ice Empress and sealed the other spiritual beings who might interfere.
• A blast from timed Soul Guidance Cannon Shells devastated more than a third of Bright City, and Xuan Zi carried Huo Yuhao and the Shrek group into the Valley of Asking for Love.
• Zhu Lu faced the valley’s trial, declared she would die to bring Dai Huabin back, and passed its sincerity round before entering a golden door.
• Huo Yuhao saw Dai Huabin’s phantom forming and attacked his bubble with every power he could summon, but the blue-gold figure repaired it and called Huo Yuhao’s awakened self the final obstacle to completing the ritual.

Huo Yuhao’s soul began to shatter after Tang San attacked him, but Electrolux intervened and started repairing it. Xu Jie confronted Tang San’s Divine Sense Clone, striking him and preparing to fight as Electrolux and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm went to Huo Yuhao.

• Huo Yuhao punched the bubble and accused the blue-gold figure of killing his mother, while Tang San’s killing intent struck him and his soul began to crack.
• Ice Empress broke free and attacked the blue-gold figure, but Electrolux appeared, stopped the attack, healed Ice Empress, and began repairing Huo Yuhao’s soul.
• Xu Jie received power from Electrolux’s stars and unleashed his Sun Martial Soul, while Electrolux gathered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and used the true sun to destroy the valley’s illusions.
• Electrolux completed his spell and vanished after entrusting Huo Yuhao to Xu Jie; Xu Jie pierced the blue-gold figure with the Golden Dragon Spear, revealing Tang San.
• Xu Jie slapped Tang San twice and challenged his Divine Sense Clone, then charged at him in golden armor as Tang San summoned his trident.

Xu Jie burned Tang San’s Divine Sense Clone and tried to stabilize Huo Yuhao, who woke in agony as Tang San attempted to resurrect Dai Huabin.

• Xu Jie used his Golden Dragon Spear and Divine Sense Fire to burn Tang San’s Divine Sense Clone.

• Di Tian opened a rift from the Star Dou Great Forest and emerged as a giant black dragon.
• Xu Jie identified Niu Tian and Titan as Soul Beast traitors, and Di Tian faced them.

Du Busi rescued Xu Jie and the unconscious Huo Yuhao while Di Tian confronted Niu Tian and Titan over their betrayal and rejected the Soul Spirit System. Xu Jie entered Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Sea to investigate his condition, where Tian Meng and Electrolux’s memories revealed the sacrifices behind the ancient runes.

• Du Busi and the Body Sect reinforcements carried Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao away, while Vina recognized Xu Jie as the person who had attacked Muxue.
• Di Tian overwhelmed Niu Tian and Titan with Dragon King Claw, but an illusory voice stopped him from killing them because they still had a use.

• Xu Jie and the Ice Empress heard Tian Meng’s remorse and saw Electrolux recall that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had refused a way to preserve part of his soul.

Xu Jie oversaw Electrolux’s repair of Huo Yuhao’s soul and left Tian Meng’s fate for Yuhao to decide. As the Sun Moon Empire mourned its emperor and Huo Yuhao’s safe escape became known, Xuan Ziwen and another Soul Engineer left Bright City to join the Body Sect.

• Electrolux turned Tian Meng into spiritual energy but preserved a fragment of his soul, which Xu Jie sent into Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Sea.

• Xuan Ziwen left the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy for the Body Sect after learning Huo Yuhao had made an automatically tracking missile without a positioning Soul Tool.
• Another commoner Soul Engineer who had joined Huo Yuhao also left Bright City for the Body Sect.

Xu Jie revealed that Huo Yuhao’s soul was shattered and began Electrolux’s method to repair it using his Martial Souls. The group identified the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion as the remaining source needed, and Du Busi produced an embryonic Snow Empress to provide it.

• Xu Jie used Electrolux’s golden staff to reveal cracks in Huo Yuhao’s soul projection and explained that his soul had shattered.
• Xu Jie told Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo that Electrolux was their teacher, a fallen god from another world, and had devised a method to repair Huo Yuhao’s soul through his Martial Souls.
• Du Busi recognized that the golden inscriptions represented Huo Yuhao’s Martial Soul attributes, and Xu Jie summoned the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion to confirm the source of the remaining power.
• Du Busi brought out a tray holding an embryonic Snow Empress, which Ice Empress identified as the needed ice-elemental power.

Xu Jie searched for enough ice-elemental power to restore Huo Yuhao's shattered soul and learned that Xiao Yun'er had been abducted. He visited the devastated Ji Juechen in Iron Arm Village, where the chapter ended with Xu Jie urging him to live long enough to repay Jing Ziyan.

• Xu Jie judged that the Snow Empress embryo and the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Jade Bed could not provide enough power, so Du Busi offered to seek an ice-attributed treasure land.
• Ice Empress contacted Snow Empress inside Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness and began explaining how she could restore Snow Empress by binding her to Huo Yuhao.
• Xu Jie proposed using the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, and Du Busi agreed to leave for it the next morning.
• Du Busi told Xu Jie that Xiao Yun'er had been abducted by someone wielding the Clear Sky Hammer, and Xu Jie decided to visit Ji Juechen and the others before leaving.
• Jing Ziyan told Xu Jie that Ji Juechen had refused food for nearly half a month, and Xu Jie found him gaunt and unresponsive in Iron Arm Village.
• Xu Jie sent Qian Ran outside and reminded Ji Juechen that he needed to live long enough to repay Jing Ziyan for caring for him.

Xu Jie forced Ji Juechen to confront his despair over his broken sword, then learned that Snow Maiden was willing to become Huo Yuhao’s soul contract partner. The next morning, Xu Jie, Du Busi, and Golden Body Douluo set out with Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress’s embryo for Sunset Forest.

• Xu Jie knocked Ji Juechen off his bed and challenged him to recover, and Ji Juechen reached for his broken sword after Xu Jie left.
• Xu Jie told Jing Ziyan that Huo Yuhao would return, asked her to look after Qian Ran, and flew back to the Body Sect headquarters.
• Snow Maiden told Xu Jie she was willing to become Huo Yuhao’s soul contract partner because she trusted Ice Empress and sensed the Emperor Auspicious Beast’s aura.
• Xu Jie spent the night practicing Soul Magic while preparing for the next day’s events.
• Du Busi gave Xu Jie a Food Aversion Pill, then carried Huo Yuhao as Golden Body Douluo carried Xu Jie toward Sunset Forest.

Xu Jie brought Du Busi and the Golden Body Douluo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with unconscious Huo Yuhao, where he warned the plant-type soul beasts not to interfere. He moved the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass out of the Ice Eye and onto a Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Jade Bed so it could keep its strength.

• Xu Jie led Du Busi and the Golden Body Douluo through the poisonous miasma and into the valley of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• The Emperor Auspicious Beast emerged from Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny and frightened Aromatic Silk Beauty and the other plants.
• Xu Jie warned Youyou that the plants must not cause trouble while he borrowed the power of the ice spring.
• Du Busi handed Huo Yuhao to Xu Jie, who laid him beside the ice pool.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass left the Ice Eye and settled on the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Jade Bed, where icy mist sustained it.

Xu Jie and the Snow Empress began transferring her power to Huo Yuhao, but the Snow Core reversed into a dangerously volatile mix of ice and fire. Xu Jie swallowed the fire half to contain it while the Snow Empress used Huo Yuhao's Fate Contract and Spiritual Power to complete her transformation, which produced a complete soul ring.

• Xu Jie released the Snow Empress from the Deification Platform and used Xiao Jin's Fate Contract to channel her power toward Huo Yuhao in the Ice Eye.
• The Snow Core absorbed the icy pool's power, reversed into scorching fire, and threatened to destroy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well unless its energy was vented safely.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty warned that the power needed a vessel, and Xu Jie offered himself while Du Busi prepared to sacrifice himself if the situation became uncontrollable.
• The Snow Empress split the Snow Core, and the Ice Empress coated its fire half with extreme chill before Xu Jie swallowed it and suppressed it with Solar True Flame.
• The Snow Empress consumed the remaining half and merged with the Fate Contract as Xiao Jin poured Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power into her, causing his Spiritual Power to rise and a complete soul ring to emerge from the cocoon.

Snow Maiden and the Ice Empress used the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to repair Huo Yuhao’s shattered soul, but the Ice Eye’s power drained so quickly that the Fire Eye began flowing backward. Xu Jie entered the fire pool to restore the balance, only to lose control as the half Snow Core in his dantian absorbed immense energy.

• Snow Maiden emerged from the cocoon in a young girl’s form, completed her contract with Huo Yuhao, and joined the Ice Empress in channeling energy into the golden inscriptions repairing his soul.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass pushed the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow Jade Bed into the Ice Eye to replenish its power and said it wanted to leave the well and see the outside world.
• The Ice Empress accelerated the energy flow by using Huo Yuhao’s scorpion tail, causing the Fire Eye’s water to flow backward despite the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot trying to absorb its power.
• Xu Jie entered the fire pool and used Electrolux’s golden inscriptions to draw on its energy, but his Martial Soul rejected that power and the inscriptions instead converted it into Soul Power.
• Xu Jie withdrew the Sun Fire protecting the half Snow Core and let the fire pool’s power pour into it, causing the backward flow to recede as his dantian swelled and the Snow Core’s dangerous aura grew.

Xu Jie endured the Fire Eye’s energy by rapidly tempering his soul and developing golden Spiritual Power, while Ice Empress and Snow Maiden completed Huo Yuhao’s contract with the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass. The grass’s fusion produced a soul bone, and a dragon’s roar then erupted from the depths of the Fire Eye.

• Xu Jie used his Sun Martial Soul and Dark Gold Spirit Staff to channel energy into golden inscriptions, suppressing the half Snow Core as his Spiritual Power transformed.
• Ice Empress and Snow Maiden absorbed the remaining water from the Ice Eye, but three of Huo Yuhao’s inscriptions remained unlit after the pool ran dry.
• Snow Maiden and Three-Eyed Golden Lion arranged a contract between Huo Yuhao and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, which offered its ten-thousand-year-cultivated Octagonal Mysterious Ice Crystal.
• Three-Eyed Golden Lion formed the Destiny Contract, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass fused with Huo Yuhao, replacing his sixth soul ring and completing the contract.
• A red glow appeared from Huo Yuhao’s right leg, suggesting a soul bone had formed, before a tremor and terrifying dragon’s roar came from the depths of the Fire Eye.

Xu Jie awakened the Fire Dragon King's resentful soul in the Fire Eye and received its Dragon King Bone, which fused with his Blazing Dragon Right Arm Bone into a powerful skeleton that entered his body. After absorbing the half Snow Core and enduring an hour of pain, Xu Jie survived with greatly strengthened bones but was left unable to move his upper body and right arm until he refined the soul bone's power.

• Xu Jie recognized the crimson dragon as the Fire Dragon King, and purified its resentful soul with his Dark Gold Spirit Staff.
• The Fire Dragon King saw the Golden Dragon Spear and mourned that his father had fallen before disappearing and leaving Xu Jie a Dragon King Bone.
• Snow Maiden warned Xu Jie not to show the bone to Di Tian, while Du Busi wondered whether the Ice Eye held an Ice Dragon King soul bone.
• The Dragon King Bone drew out Xiao Xiao's Thousand-Year Blazing Dragon Right Arm Bone and fused with it into a partial skeleton that slammed into Xu Jie.
• Xu Jie released the half Snow Core, and the Dragon King Bone absorbed it while fusing with his bones and transforming his right hand into a dragon claw.
• After an hour, Xu Jie had absorbed the Snow Core and gained immense strength, but his upper body and right arm became rigid as he began refining the Dragon King Bone's power.

Xu Jie finished helping repair Huo Yuhao’s soul and prepared to recuperate at the Body Sect, while learning that Octagonal had given Huo Yuhao a soul bone through its mistaken sacrifice. Before leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Xu Jie collected two immortal herbs and entered the poisonous miasma to search for Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers.

• Snow Maiden explained that Octagonal had offered nearly all its cultivation to Huo Yuhao, producing a soul bone and leaving it unable to speak.
• Snow Maiden used Octagonal’s crystal to light Huo Yuhao’s final three golden inscriptions, then returned to his Eye of Destiny with Xiao Jin; Xu Jie said Huo Yuhao could take between a month and a year to wake.
• Xu Jie agreed to recuperate at the Body Sect, and Du Busi invited him to call him Martial Uncle Poison.
• Xu Jie pressured Aromatic Silk Beauty into giving him a Primordial Immortal Herb and a Nine-Grade Dragon Ganoderma, then promised to find the plants a new home when the well became a wasteland.
• Xu Jie borrowed a Storage Soul Guidance Device from Golden Body Douluo and entered the poisonous miasma to search for Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers, resisting their Poison Mist with Ultimate Fire.

Xu Jie captured two Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers to prepare a Soul Contract System partner and planted them in a stone tower at Iron Arm Village for Dugu Lu. Back at the village, he confronted Ji Juechen over his near-starvation after a failed attempt and finally agreed to teach him.

• Xu Jie uprooted two Jade Phosphor Nine Absolute Flowers, explaining to Du Busi and Golden Body Douluo that he planned to use them for the Soul Contract System and recruit Dugu Lu.
• Du Busi took the unconscious Huo Yuhao into the Body Sect headquarters while Xu Jie went to Iron Arm Village.
• Xu Jie built a stone tower at the village entrance, planted the two flowers inside, and used a sword infused with Ultimate Fire to restrain their Poison Mist.
• Xu Jie met Er Niu, introduced himself as Qian Ran's master, and corrected the boy when he called him Martial Grandfather.
• Ji Juechen asked Xu Jie to teach him, but Xu Jie initially refused because he was still angry about Ji Juechen nearly starving himself after a failure.
• Xu Jie called Ji Juechen over, agreeing to teach him after all.

Xu Jie returned to Qian Ran's room and gave Jing Ziyan a Primordial Immortal Herb while questioning Ji Juechen about the attackers who had shattered his martial soul. He suspected Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and left Ji Juechen with a choice: take Er Niu as a disciple and teach him swordsmanship in exchange for learning the attacker’s identity.

• Xu Jie made Er Niu demonstrate his swordsmanship and promised to have Ji Juechen accept him as a disciple if he performed well.
• Xu Jie sent Qian Ran and Er Niu out, gave Jing Ziyan the Primordial Immortal Herb to treat her blocked meridians, and warned her not to give it to Ji Juechen.
• Xu Jie asked Ji Juechen about the person who shattered his martial soul, and Ji Juechen recalled that a woman with an aura like Blue Silver Grass had attacked alongside a man.
• Xu Jie suspected the attackers were Tang Hao and Ah Yin but withheld their identities from Ji Juechen.
• Xu Jie ordered Ji Juechen to take Er Niu as his disciple and teach him a complete sword technique in exchange for a clue, then challenged Ji Juechen to remain unbroken like a true swordsman.
