Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm lured the Ice Empress into the Far North and trapped her with their combined spiritual power. The Ice Empress struggled against her restraints as their plan began.

• Jiang Qingtong activated the Rank Nine Soul Tool Void Wander, carrying herself and Huo Yuhao far beyond the Ice Jade Scorpions’ reach.
• After they stopped, Huo Yuhao told Jiang Qingtong what had happened, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm protested when she dismissed his Million Year Soul Ring as no big deal.

Jiang Qingtong revealed that she had copied Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s soul skills before he released Ice Empress from his molted shell. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained his plan to help Huo Yuhao become a god, and Ice Empress suggested that Huo Yuhao might be the candidate she needed.

• Jiang Qingtong demonstrated that she had copied Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s soul skills, astonishing Huo Yuhao and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

Jiang Qingtong used Mirror Flower to imprint Huo Yuhao’s Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul and demonstrated that she could also copy its Soul Skills. After accompanying Huo Yuhao as he pursued his Spiritual Eye’s second Soul Ring, she returned with him to the experimental area, where Jing Hongchen and several Titled Douluo came to meet them.

• Jiang Qingtong explained that each of her nine Soul Rings could imprint a Martial Soul and its Soul Skills, and confirmed that she and her brother were the only surviving members of her family.

• Jiang Shengyu told Jing Hongchen that Huo Yuhao would return with a huge surprise but kept the details secret.

Jing Hongchen then questioned Jiang Qingtong and Jiang Shengyu about how Shengyu had learned what happened to them, suspecting they had a special way of communicating.

• Jing Hongchen asked Jiang Qingtong and Huo Yuhao to explain their long absence, and Jiang Qingtong left Huo Yuhao to answer.
• Huo Yuhao said his Martial Soul had trembled in the Far North because his Second Martial Soul was awakening, not shattering.
• Huo Yuhao released his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul, and Jing Hongchen and the Titled Douluo recognized it as Ultimate Ice.
• Jing Hongchen sent Huo Yuhao to rest and kept Jiang Qingtong behind, then summoned Jiang Shengyu to ask how he had known what happened.
• Jing Hongchen guessed that Jiang Qingtong and Jiang Shengyu had telepathy or another special means of communication.

Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong deflected Jing Hongchen’s questions about their connection by describing mobile phones, then reflected on how they had become two distinct people sharing one soul. After the group recuperated at the base for over half a month, Jing Hongchen prepared to escort them back to the Sun Moon Empire, partly to protect the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo Jiang Shengyu carried.

• Jiang Shengyu told Jing Hongchen that he and Jiang Qingtong used a special communication method, then explained mobile phones and the satellites and base stations needed to support them.
• Jing Hongchen pointed out that the communications infrastructure did not yet exist, but let them avoid explaining their true connection and urged them to cultivate.
• Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong left Jing Hongchen’s room, exchanged remarks about clever old foxes, and heard Jing Hongchen scold Jiang Shengyu for leading Qingtong astray.

• Jing Hongchen kept the three children at the base to recuperate for more than half a month and decided to escort them back, especially because Jiang Shengyu carried a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast embryo.

Jing Hongchen escorted Huo Yuhao and the others back to the Sun Moon Empire, where the Soul Hall investigated Huo Yuhao’s newly awakened Second Martial Soul.

• Long Xiaoyao insisted on treating Jiang Qingtong to a meal despite her attempts to refuse, leaving her anxious about his motives.

• Jiang Qingtong questioned Long Xiaoyao's motives over pastries, then left when he said she could go.

• Ye Xishui accused Long Xiaoyao of remaining in contact with Mu En and warned that her son would pursue Jiang Qingtong and Jiang Shengyu regardless.
• Ye Xishui flew out of Bright Capital, and Long Xiaoyao followed her.

After the Holy Spirit Cult’s threat made Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong weigh their safety against their plans, Jiang Shengyu drew the ice-type soul skill Shining Through Myriad Rivers. The elders found no abnormality in his body but ordered him to stay under observation, while Jiang Qingtong left for Shrek Academy.

• Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong returned home shaken by the pressure of a peak Limit Douluo and debated whether to stay in Bright Capital or move to Shrek City.

• Jiang Qingtong prepared to leave for Shrek Academy, and Jing Hongchen personally escorted her.

Jiang Qingtong was confronted by Ye Xishui, who exposed that her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul could not permanently suppress the Evil Fire Phoenix’s evil fire. Ye Xishui left her to struggle with it, and Jiang Qingtong managed to suppress the fire temporarily before vowing to remember the encounter.

• Jing Hongchen took Jiang Qingtong to an inn near the Mingdou Mountain Range, planning to reach Shrek Academy the next day.
• Ye Xishui entered Jiang Qingtong’s room, restrained her, and demanded to see her Martial Soul.

• Jiang Qingtong used her Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul to suppress the evil fire temporarily and vowed to remember Ye Xishui.

Jiang Qingtong left for Shrek Academy with Soul Tools Jing Hongchen gave her, while Jing Hongchen was confronted by Yan Shaozhe near Shrek City. Jing Hongchen refused Yan Shaozhe’s invitation to the academy and challenged his ability to stop him from leaving.

• Jiang Qingtong told Jing Hongchen she could not delay the Far North experiment and set out with him after breakfast.
• Jiang Qingtong asked Jing Hongchen for Flying Soul Tools, and he gave her several low- and mid-ranked Soul Tools before she departed.
• Yan Shaozhe appeared before Jing Hongchen near Shrek City and invited him to visit Shrek Academy.
• Jing Hongchen declined the invitation and turned to leave, but Yan Shaozhe ordered him to stay.
• Jing Hongchen faced Yan Shaozhe and said he was not capable enough to keep him there.

Jing Hongchen’s departure from Shrek Academy prompted Mu En and the others to reassess the Sun Moon Empire’s strength and wonder whether it had a hidden Rank Ten Soul Engineer. Back at Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen learned that Jiang Shengyu had suffered a mysterious episode and would remain under observation.

• Mu En warned that Jing Hongchen’s Rank Nine Soul Tools made him difficult to restrain, prompting Yan Shaozhe to accept that Soul Tools deserved greater investment.

• Jing Hongchen returned to Mingde Hall and found Jiang Shengyu apparently well, though Heavenly Sound Douluo and Kong Deming could not explain his recent soul disturbance.
• Kong Deming ordered Jiang Shengyu to stay with Heavenly Sound Douluo for another month, and Jing Hongchen told Kong Deming that he had sent Qingtong to Shrek Academy and encountered Yan Shaozhe.

Jiang Shengyu recovered while the Sun Moon Empire advanced research into satellites and mobile phones. At Shrek Academy, Mu En ordered Bei Bei to pursue Jiang Qingtong and keep her at the academy, despite Bei Bei's protests.

• Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen discussed Yan Shaozhe's visit, then Kong Deming told Jing Hongchen to continue research in the Far North and develop soul-guided satellites before mobile phones.
• Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen visited Jiang Shengyu, and Jing Hongchen told them to take care of him.
• Mu En asked Bei Bei about Tang Ya and Jiang Qingtong, then proposed that Bei Bei be with Jiang Qingtong and keep her at Shrek Academy.
• Bei Bei objected that he and Jiang Qingtong barely knew each other and that the plan was unreasonable.

Mu En decided to select Bei Bei and Jiang Qingtong for the Reserve Team, while Bei Bei rejected Mu En’s plan to make him pursue someone else. Jiang Qingtong returned to Shrek Academy and went with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong to the overdue cultivation assessment, where Dai Huabin challenged her to compete again.
