Before he left, the Sect Master gave him intelligence on Tang San, bringing his attention to the son of the Clear Sky Douluo.

• Xu Mingxi showed the Star Seeking Vine and the Starry Tree a black Crystal Ball, but neither elder recognized it or knew how to light it.
• The Starry Tree sensed a powerful plant bloodline in Xu Mingxi's jade box and identified the seed as related to its own lineage.
• Xu Mingxi gave the seed to the Starry Tree and warned it to protect the seed rather than kill or absorb it.

Xu Mingxi learned that Tang San had gained a poisoned Blue Silver Grass skill and was considering Yu Xiaogang’s recommendation to attend Shrek Academy, while Tang Hao ordered Yu Xiaogang to stop choosing Tang San’s soul rings.

• Xu Mingxi set out for Sunset Forest with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, intending to destroy the inheritance site and investigate the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Xu Mingxi struck the Blue Silver King with a Blazing Sun Cannon, forcing it to abandon its burning body to survive.
• Xu Mingxi claimed the Clear Sky Sect sought revenge because Ah Yin had resisted the Sect Master’s son, then fired another Blazing Sun Cannon and scorched the land within ten li.

Xu Mingxi explored the Blazing Yang Spring and encountered the Fire Dragon King's remnant soul, which revealed the Star God's connection to the Sun Moon Dual Gods. He left with a new lead on the divine inheritance, but the pitch-black Crystal Ball remained unresponsive.

• Dugu Bo watched Xu Mingxi claim the Blue Silver King's soul bone and led Dugu Yan away, accepting that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well might pass to the Star Crown Sect.

Meanwhile, Xu Mingxi left Sunset Forest with the Blue Silver King’s Soul Bone and medicinal herbs sent back to the Star Crown Sect, then arrived in Suotuo City.

• Xu Mingxi bought the Board Crystal from Flander’s shop and stored it away so it could not fall into Tang San’s hands.

Meanwhile, the Clear Sky Sect struggled with dwindling resources and Tang Yuehua's inability to help, leaving its leaders worried about the sect's future.

• Tang San arrived at Shrek Academy, and Flender promised him half the academy's resources before Tang San discovered its poor facilities and met Ma Hongjun.

• Tang Xiao told the Elders that Tang Yuehua could not provide resources because Moonlight Pavilion was under pressure, leaving the Sect Master Hall silent and worried.

Qian Renxue learned that the Star Crown Sect had spread the rumor linking Moonlight Pavilion to the Clear Sky Sect and continued her campaign against the pavilion. After Ning Fengzhi questioned her, Tang Yuehua was poisoned and died, leaving Moonlight Pavilion destroyed and Ning Fengzhi suspicious of the Crown Prince.

• Snake Lance Douluo told Qian Renxue that Heaven Dou City's largest Mercenary Organization, apparently backed by the Star Crown Sect, had spread the rumor about Moonlight Pavilion.

• Tang Hao left Tang San and headed for other cities to destroy unguarded Spirit Hall branch halls.

• Tang Xiao accepted the demand as the surviving Clear Sky Sect members blamed Tang Hao, while Tang Hao suppressed his rage and resolved to avenge Ah Yin by destroying Spirit Hall.

Xu Mingxi kept the Star Crown Sect out of the growing conflict while the Clear Sky Sect struggled under Spirit Hall’s blockade. Ning Fengzhi agreed to help the Clear Sky Sect obtain spirit rings for two elders in exchange for soul bones, while the Eighth Elder ran into trouble over the sect’s metal purchases in Gengxin City.

Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang headed to Gengxin City to resolve Lou Gao’s blockade on the Star Crown Sect’s rare-metal purchases before traveling to hunt a 150,000-year-old Void Demonic Leopard. Lou Gao refused to sell the metals until the sect explained its plans, leaving the dispute unresolved as Xu Mingxi approached.

• Lou Gao challenged the Star Crown Sect’s large-scale rare-metal purchases because it would not have the metals forged in Gengxin City.
• Xu Mingxi learned that Xu Mingguang had reached level 90 and agreed to help him hunt a 150,000-year-old Void Demonic Leopard; Xu Mingguang offered Xu Mingxi its Soul Bone if it suited him.

• The Star Crown Sect trained Soul Engineers, while the First Elder taught Huo Quan to develop Soul Guidance Devices.
• The Eighth Elder failed to persuade Lou Gao, who vowed to stop selling rare metals unless the Star Crown Sect gave him a satisfactory explanation.

Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang pressured Lou Gao into gathering rare metals and bringing his disciple Si Long to Star Crown Sect to study Soul Tools. They then searched the Star Dou Great Forest for a 150,000-year Void Demonic Leopard, but chose to hunt a 100,000-year Silver Scale Beast instead.

• Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang confronted Lou Gao in Gengxin City and demanded all of his private rare-metal stockpile.
• Two months later, Lou Gao and Si Long disappeared with the gathered metals, and rumors across the continent blamed Spirit Hall.

Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang defeated the Silver Scale Beast, and Xu Mingguang absorbed its 100,000 Year Soul Ring while Xu Mingxi guarded him. Xiao Wu escaped the cave where Da Ming had confined her and headed toward Notting City, while the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape retreated and planned to warn the fierce beasts about humanity’s growing strength.

• Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang used the Star Domain and their coordinated attacks to overwhelm the Silver Scale Beast.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape set out to investigate the battle, but Da Ming confined Xiao Wu in a cave to keep her safe.
• Xiao Wu escaped through a hidden passage and left the Star Dou Great Forest in the direction of Notting City.
• The Sky Azure Bull Python saw the Silver Scale Beast defeated and, judging the humans too dangerous to confront, returned with the Titan Giant Ape to the Lake of Life.
• Xu Mingxi guarded Xu Mingguang as he killed the Silver Scale Beast and successfully absorbed its 100,000 Year Soul Ring.
• Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang packed away the Silver Scale Beast’s corpse and left the area.

After learning that at least seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had died in recent years, Di Tian gathered the ferocious beasts and decided to launch a Beast Tide. The decision was confirmed when a familiar voice told him that the Angel God had fallen.
