Su Yu persuaded the Thunder Hell Vine to become his soul spirit and proposed using the Blue Silver Emperor’s two-hundred-thousand-year Heavenly Tribulation to raise its cultivation. He brought the Blue Silver Emperor to Electrolux’s Undead Demiplane to prepare, where the Blue Silver Emperor agreed on the condition that Su Yu support him with Ultimate Life.

He converted the Thunder Hell Vine into a Soul Spirit, broke through to level sixty, and began converting the gravely injured Blue Silver Emperor into another Soul Spirit.

Su Yu refined the Blue Silver Emperor’s Soul Spirit, rose to level sixty-six, and returned to the Sun Moon Empire with a new orange Soul Ring. He then sought materials to attempt the Eighth-Level Soul Engineer breakthrough, while Jing Hongchen asked for advice on helping Huo Yuhao cultivate his Ultimate Ice.

• Ju Zi arrived with the Spiritual Metal spirituality test report and met Su Yu, whom Huo Yuhao had apparently mentioned to her.
• Su Yu and Xuan Ziwen reviewed the report and concluded that Soul Power, Mental Power, matching attributes, and extreme conditions could affect how quickly Spiritual Metal’s spirituality grew.
• Ju Zi asked whether Huo Yuhao could safely make Elementary Battle Armor from Spiritual Metal, and Xuan Ziwen judged that his Mental Power should be sufficient before arranging to discuss Bone Runes with Su Yu the next day.

• Su Yu killed a Soul King-level Evil Soul Master with his purification skill and freed the innocent souls sealed in the man’s token.

• Tie Jia mobilized Heaven Armor City's defenses and contacted Ye Qiu after learning that Evil Soul Masters, including suspected Soul Emperor-level fighters, had appeared in the city.

Su Yu studied the Medicine Chapter, subdued the Immortal Herbs, and arranged to cultivate at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well while the Blue Silver Emperor nurtured his Soul Rings. After two days of training, he returned to the escort team headquarters, where Feng Kuang confronted him.

• Su Yu refused to join the Tang Sect, intimidated Youyou with Thunder God's Whip, and persuaded the Immortal Herbs that he would trade vitality for access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Su Yu used the well's ice and fire energies to temper his body over the next two days while cultivating Soul Power at the escort team headquarters at night.
• Feng Kuang returned to the headquarters and singled out Su Yu, asking who he was as his fierce aura pressed toward him.

Su Yu discovered that Feng Kuang had once been a Body Sect Core Disciple and a Soul Saint before losing his last three soul rings in battle. He suggested Feng Kuang might be able to restore the missing rings, but Feng Kuang’s rare former soul beasts made that prospect difficult.

• Feng Kuang sensed Su Yu’s formidable Soul Power and Bloodline Power, then revealed his hostility toward Shrek and his past as a Body Sect Core Disciple.

Su Yu used the Infernal Apricot and Ice Crystal at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to temper his body, discover Bloodline Power, and condense two Blood Essence Soul Rings from the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ bloodlines. After leaving the spring, he joined the caravan bound for Frost Town, where Feng Kuang noticed his increased strength and asked to see him fight.

• Su Yu stayed with the escort team while Feng Kuang considered how difficult it would be to restore his rare Soul Ring Combination.
• At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Su Yu used the Infernal Apricot and Ice Crystal to complete his Ice Fire Refinement Golden Body and realized that bloodline strength came from tempering flesh and blood.
• With Old Yi’s guidance, Su Yu drew tiny traces of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ Bloodline Power from the spring and condensed them into two golden Blood Essence Soul Rings.
• After four days in the spring, Su Yu said goodbye to Youyou and the Immortal Herbs, then returned to Song Zi and Zou Yun.
• Su Yu departed for Frost Town with the caravan, and Feng Kuang remarked on his stronger Bloodline Power before asking to see him fight.

Su Yu joined the Mad Luck Escort Team’s caravan to the northern border, where he forced the Whale Shark Gang to retreat with his overwhelming Soul Power. His display of strength drew the attention of Bei Mingyuan, who learned that Su Yu was traveling with Feng Kuang and suspected he might belong to the Body Sect.

• Zou Yun explained the northern border’s bandits, Frost Town, and the Zhenbei Marquis Estate to Su Yu as the caravan traveled north.

• Lang Tian withdrew with his men, and the caravan continued its journey without further attacks.
• Bei Mingyuan heard that Su Yu had forced Lang Tian back and identified Feng Kuang as a former disciple of the Body Sect.
• Tian Xing wondered whether Su Yu was also from the Body Sect because he had not seen Su Yu reveal a Martial Soul.

• Snow Empress explained that soul rings ultimately depended on the soul master's cultivation and needs, inspiring Su Yu to discuss Tang San's Natal Soul Ring with the Blue Silver Emperor.

Su Yu condensed a Soul Core during his seclusion in the Far North Land, reached level seventy, and then used the Blue Silver Grass population and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s Primordial Energy to form his seventh Natal Soul Ring. The ring completed a system with his first six Soul Rings, and Su Yu sensed his Martial Soul’s power change.

• Su Yu learned Soul Core condensation from the Snow Empress, entered seclusion in the Far North Land, and spent three months preparing his Soul Power for the process.
