Meanwhile, Xu Tianxi and Jing Hongchen reached the forest, where they discovered a vast field of poisonous Jade Phosphorus plants and met Xiao Changfeng.

• Youyou scanned Xiao Changfeng, recognized his Phoenix aura, and brought him a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower as his first test herb.

Xiao Changfeng used the Extreme Cold Ice Spring to strengthen his Ice Phoenix before consuming Youyou’s Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, risking a clash of extreme cold and pure yang energy.

• Xiao Changfeng revealed that he had reached Level Ninety-Seven, stabilized his mutated Martial Soul, and purified his Divine Beast Bloodline.

In the God Realm, Tang San ordered guards sent to the well, while God of Destruction noticed a Fate Divine Beast nearing Xu Tianxi and Jing Hongchen.

• Xiao Changfeng used the Gold of Life, the Cold Extreme Yin Spring, and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to transform his Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul and overwhelm the Immortal Herbs with his power.

• Jing Hongchen raised a Soul Guided Cannon to attack the bear, but Xu Tianxi stopped him and warned him not to provoke its pursuer.

Jing Hongchen, Xiao Changfeng, and Xu Tianxi encountered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion after Xiao Changfeng killed a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and took its paws. Scarlet King warned them that harming the Imperial Auspicious Beast would bring a beast tide against Shrek City, and the humans departed without threatening her.

• Xu Tianxi identified the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as the rare Imperial Auspicious Beast and explained her importance to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Xiao Changfeng struck down the fleeing Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion killed it before he took its paws as spoils.
• Scarlet King arrived to protect the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and warned the humans not to harm her or the Star Dou Great Forest would attack Shrek City.
• The humans agreed to leave the Auspicious Beast alone, and Xu Tianxi warned Scarlet King that powerful humans might still target her.

The Scarlet King battled Du Busi after the Body Sect master arrived in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Imperial Auspicious Beast joined the fight to protect him.

Xu Tianxi and his companions escaped the Star Dou Great Forest after Di Tian defeated Du Busi, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion grew interested in Xu Tianxi. The group reached a safe mountain, where they learned Du Busi’s injuries could ruin his future and Jing Hongchen revealed a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone for Xu Tianxi.

Xu Tianxi absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and achieved a Silver Level Second Awakening, then entered Deep Meditation. While Xu Xiaoyun treated the wounded Du Busi, Jing Hongchen decided to have Ji Juechen train Xiao Hongchen in combat.

• Xu Tianxi stored the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Palm Bone for later and absorbed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew instead.

• Xu Xiaoyun explained that Silver Level Awakening could later evolve into Golden Level Awakening, which risked draining the user's Life Force.

• Xu Xiaoyun questioned why the Heaven Dou Empire had approached the Body Sect instead of other powerful sects, and Du Busi angrily told him to stop talking.

Xu Xiaoyun refused Du Busi’s proposal to unite with Shrek and the Heaven Dou Empire, citing Shrek’s past harms to the Xuanming Sect and its failures to protect the continent. After Du Busi left, Xu Tianxi persuaded Xu Xiaoyun to absorb an Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and Xu Xiaoyun began refining the herb.

• Xu Tianxi promised Xiao Changfeng that he would obtain the missing Soul Bone for him.

Xu Tianxi and his elders discussed the upcoming Tournament and the sect’s plans before Xu Tianxi traveled to the Far North Land to capture the Ice Empress. As the Ice Empress began considering the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s God-Making Plan, she asked about Xu Tianxi’s talent.

• Xiao Changfeng warned Xu Tianxi to conceal his abilities at the Tournament, while Xu Xiaoyun and Xiao Changfeng explained that the sect would wait to relocate until the Tournament two events from now.

After Xu Tianxi explained his ambitions and abilities, the Ice Empress agreed to pursue godhood with him and chose to give him an External Soul Bone; a Ferocious Beast’s power then erupted at the Far North’s outskirts.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm told the Ice Empress about Xu Tianxi’s Martial Souls, talent, and formidable human allies, and she agreed to join the God-Making Plan.
• The Ice Empress emerged in human form and asked Xu Tianxi to convince her that he could lead them toward godhood.

• Huo Yuhao recalled his grudge against Dai Huabin and his determination to grow strong enough to take revenge without relying on Wang Dong.
• After seven days searching the Star Dou Great Forest, Beibei found a Fear Dragon, and Wang Yan judged it suitable despite its age of just over six hundred years.
• Beibei wondered why so few Fear Dragons remained, but kept quiet because he knew Soul Masters had hunted them heavily and the Mysterious Ancestor had forbidden him from revealing Sea God Pavilion matters.
• Huo Yuhao killed the Fear Dragon and began absorbing its Soul Ring while Wang Yan recorded his cultivation and Beibei recovered from its mental attack.
• Xu Fu asked Xu Sanshi whether friends who invited him to join another sect were good or bad, leaving Xu Sanshi uncomfortable.
