Chen Junting created the Fourth Soul Skill, Sword God's Selflessness, by combining Man-Sword Unity, Unity of Heaven and Man, and the Forget-Emotion Secret Technique. He then traced his bloodline to a Titled Douluo ancestor and completed the Third Soul Skill, Awe-Inspiring in All Directions.

Chen Junting successfully guided Gu Tianchen through the Heaven and Earth Memory Method, producing a hundred-thousand-year Self-Condensed Eighth Soul Ring with two spatial attack skills. Ning Tian then began tracing her bloodline to Ning Rongrong, but Chen Junting switched her to the Heaven and Earth Memory Method when the ancestor’s image collapsed, and a blood-colored soul ring eventually formed.

• Ning Tian agreed to accompany Chen Junting and Dugu Xin, and the three departed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect for Sunset Forest.

Chen Junting began guiding Dugu Xin through a dangerous process at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to draw the deadly poison from his body into a Poison Pill. As Dugu Xin endured the transformation, Chen Junting revealed the Snow Swan Kiss, alarming Youyou with its lethal effect on poison-attribute soul masters.

• Dugu Xin reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and prepared to suppress the poison in his body with its opposing energies.
• Chen Junting set an array above the springs, while the Snow Empress, Tyrant, Mad King, and Ning Tian’s Vajra Baboon guarded the perimeter.
• Chen Junting activated the array and sent two Dragon Shadows of Ice and Fire Energy into Dugu Xin, then ordered him to release the poison stored in his Eight Spider Lances.

• Chen Junting produced the Snow Swan Kiss, and Youyou recognized that it could kill a poison-attribute soul master.

• Chen Junting declared, “Poison Pill, condense!” as Dugu Xin’s core took on his form.

Chen Junting brought Dugu Xin to the Necromancer Demigod Plane to test his Ultimate Poison, where Dugu Xin awakened a powerful domain and defeated a Bone Dragon. Elder Yi transformed the Bone Dragon with Dugu Xin’s poison, and it began living in the Poison Pool as an unknown gaze searched the Douluo Plane.

• The newly transformed Bone Dragon roared and plunged into the Poison Pool, while an unseen gaze continued searching across the Douluo Plane.

The God of Poison sensed a gifted successor in the Douluo Plane but could not locate him, so he set out for the Sea God Temple to seek the Sea God's approval. Meanwhile, Chen Junting and his companions returned from the Necromancer Demigod Plane, and he turned his attention to Youyou, intending to address her ability to counter Dugu Xin's poison.

• The God of Poison sensed a potential successor in the Douluo Plane, whose talent in poison surpassed his own, but the successor's aura vanished before he could find him.

• Youyou pretended to worry about the returning group, and Chen Junting teased her by grabbing her flower.
• Chen Junting recalled that Youyou could counter a hundred poisons and decided to deal with her as Dugu Xin's greatest nemesis, then grabbed her flower stem as she protested.

• Chen Junting searched the Ice Sea with Ning Tian and Gu Tianchen but found no sign of Huo Yuhao or Zhiyong above the water.
• Ning Tian switched the tracking display to Zhiyong, and his token also appeared beneath the sea, so Chen Junting took the group underwater.
• The group found two tokens and a fish scale caught in a reef, and the Golden Hawksbill Turtle retrieved them.
• Chen Junting discovered that tracking methods had been placed on both tokens and the scale, suggesting Huo Yuhao and Zhiyong had abandoned the tokens.
• A cool, clear voice identified the scale as belonging to the Sea Princess Clan.

After learning that Yuhao and the others might have found protection from the Sea Princess, Chen Junting decided to reach the Sea Princess Clan's territory and seek her help.
