After surviving a deep-sea trial and advancing his Golden Body Art, Qian Chaoguang told Du Busi that his own body-tempering method was incomplete and proposed exchanging knowledge.

After absorbing its Soul Ring and head Soul Bone, he rested briefly, then began pursuing soul forging to upgrade his equipment.

Qian Chaoguang began training under Du Busi to temper his body and Bloodline Power, revealing that his Golden Heart already functioned as a blood qi core.

• Qian Chaoguang gave Qiu'er an assortment of gadgets and games, and she asked whether Wang Dong was doing well.
• Qian Chaoguang teleported away after telling Qiu'er that Wang Dong was lonely, and Qiu'er threw her Golden Dragon Spear at him in anger.

Qian Chaoguang secretly entered the Star Dou Great Forest’s Lake of Life and overheard Di Tian and the fierce beasts preparing a Beast Tide, learning that Shrek City was their likely target and that food supplies were a major obstacle. He returned to his cave after narrowly escaping Di Tian’s notice, where he found his Death Knight had beaten the unconscious Explosive Lava Bear.

• Qian Chaoguang planted a Gray Bone Skeleton as a teleportation point, then sent his spiritual incarnation toward the Lake of Life to investigate the planned Beast Tide.

• Di Tian insisted the soul beasts must launch the Beast Tide soon, warned that humanity’s growth and Soul Tools threatened their survival, and ordered nearly all soul beasts above one hundred thousand years to join the attack.
• Qian Chaoguang dispersed his spiritual incarnation before Di Tian’s claw destroyed the tree, then returned to his cave and discovered that his Death Knight had beaten the Explosive Lava Bear while trying to discipline it.
