• As they traveled, Xu Jie explained that he wanted to investigate the Profound Nether Sect and questioned whether the women involved in its martial-soul awakening ritual could truly consent.

Xu Jie and Dugu Lu discovered that Li Yingying’s family had been killed by a Profound Nether Sect Soul Master, while Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen investigated Tianxuan City.

Xu Jie and Huo Yuhao helped him awaken it, then brought Dugu Lu and Ji Juechen to the Undead Demigod Plane while they considered their next steps.

• Dugu Lu reached level seventy-three and condensed a pure dark green soul ring, but activating it did not summon his Martial Soul Avatar.
• Huo Yuhao told Dugu Lu to channel Soul Power into the ring, causing a snake-like pattern to form and reveal the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor avatar.
