Chapter Summaries

Bibi Dong ordered Spirit Hall to search for Gu Han so she could ask him about evolving Luo Sanpao and obtaining the Great Sumeru Hammer's Ring Detonation technique. Meanwhile, Gu Han traveled north with Zi Ji and his students, whose camp was surrounded by eight sinister Soul Masters, and he left the fight to them as a practical test.

• Bibi Dong considered using Tang Hao's child to force him to reveal the Ring Detonation technique, then ordered Spirit Hall's branch halls to search for Gu Han.
• After reaching Soul Emperor level sixty-three, Gu Han continued training his students and supplying them with Pills, helping Shui Bing'er reach level forty.
• Gu Han set out with Zi Ji, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Feng Xiaotian, and the others for the Extreme North Land so Shui Bing'er could hunt an ice-attributed Soul Beast.
• While the group camped in a northern forest, Gu Han sensed eight evil Soul Masters surrounding them and warned his students.
• The eight Soul Masters emerged, and one lecherously remarked that they should enjoy the girls before heading to Shashadou.

Feng Xiaotian and the others used their evolved Martial Souls and teamwork to defeat a group of Fallen Soul Masters. Gu Han learned the location and entrance to Slaughter City from their leaders, though he did not plan to go there yet.

• Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Ye Lingling, and Xue Wu summoned their evolved Martial Souls and attacked the Fallen Soul Masters.

• Gu Han stopped the others from killing the three leaders and asked them about Slaughter City.
• The Scar-faced Man refused to reveal the location, so Gu Han used the Heaven-Shaking Earth-Striking Grand Method to learn Slaughter City's location and how to enter it, tormenting the three until they suffered brain death.

Gu Han explained Slaughter City and its dangers before leading Zi Ji and the others into the Extreme North Land to find a flight-type soul skill for Shui Bing'er. The group found a Profound Frost Ice Luan over five thousand years old in the Far North Ice Pine Forest.

• Gu Han told Shui Bing'er and the others that Slaughter City was the Asura God's God-chosen Land, where a victor could earn a Domain by surviving the Hell Slaughter Arena and the Road to Hell.
• Gu Han warned Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu that Slaughter City suppressed Soul Skills and advised them to wait until they reached Soul Emperor level before considering it.
• Gu Han decided not to enter Slaughter City himself because he already had the Ice and Fire Domain and feared attracting the Asura God's attention.
• Gu Han led Zi Ji, Shui Bing'er, and the others to the Extreme North Land, where he searched for a flying ice-attributed Soul Beast for Shui Bing'er's fourth soul skill.
• After several days of searching, Gu Han found a Profound Frost Ice Luan over five thousand years old in a valley in the Far North Ice Pine Forest.

Gu Han subdued a five-thousand-year-old Profound Frost Ice Luan so Shui Bing'er could absorb its Soul Ring and gain a flight skill. After Shui Bing'er succeeded, the Snow Empress arrived, and Gu Han ordered his companions to flee while he faced her.

• Gu Han summoned his Sacred Dragon and overwhelmed the Profound Frost Ice Luan, drawing the Snow Empress's attention from her Ice Crystal Palace.

• Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and the others fled the valley after Gu Han warned that a powerful soul beast was approaching.

Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King pursued them after sensing Snow Empress's aura alongside the Sacred Dragon's powerful Dragon Might.

• Snow Empress agreed to ride Gu Han's Sacred Dragon to the Myriad Years Profound Ice Cave, while Shui Bing'er and the others returned to the valley and decided to wait for Gu Han.

Gu Han wagered with Snow Empress that he could obtain Myriad Years Cold Marrow, offering to share a method for reducing the power of Soul Beast tribulations if he won. Using his Yang Spirit to locate the marrow and his spatial abilities to retrieve it, he returned with a sample and claimed victory.

• Gu Han offered Snow Empress a wager, promising that she could make one future request of him if he obtained Myriad Years Cold Marrow, and she accepted in exchange for his tribulation-reducing method.
• Gu Han explained how his Yang Spirit could search through the ice and how Void Dark Domain and Void Sacred Dragon Wings would let him retrieve the marrow.

After more than two years gathering Myriad Years Cold Marrow and cultivating in the Extreme North Land, Gu Han reached level seventy and left for the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Gu Han welcomed the forest's vitality and said he preferred it to the desolate snowfields of the Extreme North Land.

Gu Han chose the forty-thousand-year Wind-Thunder Raging Winged Dragon King as his seventh soul-ring sacrifice in the Star Dou Great Forest. After absorbing its Million-Year Spirit Ring, he gained a pair of external dragon-horn soul bones and considered returning to Spirit City to test his new strength.
