After discovering that the Ice Abyss had vanished, Qin Tian returned to Ice Extreme Pass and reviewed the spoils from the beast tide. He planned to find a way to sell them despite the Luo Hou Family’s control of the local market and ordered Duan Guangtai’s wartime flight reported.

• Qin Tian found the Ice Abyss gone, confirmed the Ice Marrow Paste was real, and returned to Ice Extreme Pass.

• Qin Tian decided to establish a Lingfeng Trading Company branch on Pluto and seek someone to help sell the current spoils.
• Qin Tian ordered Zhang Hao to report that Duan Guangtai and several subordinates had fled during the battle.

After Ice Extreme Pass won the beast tide without casualties, Duan Guangtai feared punishment for abandoning his post and sought Inzagi Luo Hou’s help. Inzagi’s threats failed to make Qin Tian relent, and as Qin Tian prepared to investigate the destroyed Safe Houses, aircraft carrying his subordinates arrived at the pass.

• Duan Guangtai learned Ice Extreme Pass had won without casualties and realized his desertion could cost him his position or freedom.
• Inzagi Luo Hou told his adjutant to ask Qin Tian to spare Duan Guangtai in exchange for transferring him out of Ice Extreme Pass.
• Qin Tian refused to promise leniency, while the adjutant warned that trouble could follow if he did not agree.
• The Second Regiment commander reported that three Safe Houses had been destroyed and three soldiers were missing; Qin Tian recognized the attack as Inzagi’s threat and rejected the pressure.
• Qin Tian decided to handle the threat himself, but dark aircraft arrived over Ice Extreme Pass, and their speaker announced that his subordinates were late.

• Li Qi reprimanded Ye Shisan for briefly revealing his aura and ordered him to take three lashes with the Soul Devour Vine after they returned.
• Li Qi ordered the Night Demons to capture Yasang, and they pinned him down alive.

• Li Qi forced Kaka Yasang to reveal the Blood Blade Battle Group's strength and mission, then killed him.

• Explosive Iron Balls buried near the camp detonated in the snowstorm.

Qin Tian’s forces ambushed and annihilated the Blood Blade Battle Group on the Ice Plain, capturing its commander Karon alive. Qin Tian viewed the victory as both retaliation against the Luo Hou Family and a test of whether Marshal Lin and his superiors would support him.

• Explosive Iron Balls destroyed the Blood Blade Battle Group’s Ice Houses, and Karon rallied the survivors as Bear and Tireda led the Barbarian Regiment into battle.
• Bear fought Karon while Tireda, Poison Widow, and the Shadow Division overwhelmed the Blood Blade Battle Group from the front and rear.
• Karon fled, but Old Ghost’s soul attacks, Bear and Tireda’s assault, and Li Qi’s poisoned blade left him incapacitated.
• Li Qi shackled Karon for interrogation as the attackers finished off the Blood Blade Battle Group and formed a Skull Pyramid from the dead.
• Qin Tian learned of the victory and reflected that the battle tested whether Marshal Lin and his superiors would back him against the Luo Hou Family.

Qin Tian’s forces returned to Ice Extreme Pass with the frozen heads of the Blood Blade Battle Group, and he revealed that Inzagi Luo Hou had ordered the attack that killed three soldiers.

• Inzagi Luo Hou flew into a rage after seeing the Skull Pyramid and vowed to destroy Qin Tian and Ice Extreme Pass despite Lin Xuanqing’s support.

Qin Tian devoured Karon’s soul and learned the Blood Blade Battle Group’s search plans for the Cold Iron Vein, then set out to confront its remaining members. After wiping out the group in the snow, he captured Batu and began searching his soul for details about a strange occurrence.

• Qin Tian used Soul Devour on Karon, absorbing intelligence about the Blood Blade Battle Group, the Luo Hou Family’s deployments, and their search for the Cold Iron Vein.
• Qin Tian learned that Calsas could attempt to make Dragon Blood Potions and recognized that the Cold Iron Vein search area lay within Ice Extreme Pass’s territory.
• Batu and the surviving Blood Blade Battle Group members learned that Karon was dead and discussed reporting a strange occurrence they had discovered while tracking Iron-Eating Ice Lizards.
• Qin Tian appeared before Batu’s group, and Batu ordered the warriors to attack him.
• Qin Tian vanished from the barrage and used Black Flame to burn hundreds of warriors to ashes.
• Qin Tian knocked Batu unconscious and activated Soul Devour to investigate the strange occurrence.

Qin Tian investigated a strange unfrozen lake on Pluto and discovered its penetrating cold could be resisted with a newly acquired ice talent. After defeating the Ice Crystal Monster guarding the lakebed and strengthening the Black Frost Blade, he turned toward the faintly glowing object below.

• Qin Tian learned from Batu's memories that the Blood Blade Battle Group had found a dangerous unfrozen lake while searching for the Cold Iron Vein, and he traveled there through a Void Gate.
• Qin Tian tested the lake's freezing power, fused with the Heavenly Frost Ice Body talent, and gained enough cold resistance to dive beneath the surface.
• Qin Tian explored the vast underwater lake, spotted a faint light near the lakebed, and narrowly evaded an attack from a concealed Ice Crystal Monster.
• Qin Tian fought the Lake Monster and drove the Black Frost Blade into its Ice Crystal Core, destroying it and allowing the Blade Soul to absorb the lake's Power of Cold.
• Qin Tian saw that the Black Frost Blade had grown stronger and looked toward the glowing spot on the lakebed.

Qin Tian took the deep-blue frost orb from the frozen lake and discovered that its stone platform concealed a spatial formation that transported him to a hidden Secret Realm. After overcoming the Ice Palace’s nine-step trial, he opened its doors, leaving the palace’s interior still unrevealed.

• Qin Tian used Void Force to seize the deep-blue orb, sealed it in his Yin Space, and noticed a spatial fluctuation from the empty platform.
• Qin Tian uncovered Space Patterns in the stone platform and activated a formation that transported him to a Secret Realm filled with crystal-bearing trees and a central Ice Palace.
• Qin Tian inspected the Ice Palace’s defenses and confirmed that Space Blink gave him a way to escape the Secret Realm.
• Qin Tian climbed the palace’s nine Ice Steps, using his abilities to withstand freezing, spiritual pressure, and a devastating snowstorm.
• Qin Tian completed the trial, found his [Immortal Sacred Body] strengthened, and pushed open the Ice Palace doors.

Qin Tian entered the palace and found an Ice Coffin containing a mysterious man who had lost his memory. He named the man Lan and agreed to help him recover his past, leaving the palace together after Lan briefly felt the woods were familiar.

• Qin Tian explored the palace murals and found a sealed Ice Coffin at the center of the hall.
• The Ice Coffin opened, and a blue-haired man awakened with no memory of who he was.
• Qin Tian offered to help the man recover his memories, and the man agreed to leave with him.
• Qin Tian gave the man the temporary name Lan and introduced himself; Lan repeated and remembered Qin Tian's name.
• Lan slowly climbed out of the coffin and regained his ability to walk with Qin Tian's support.
• At the palace entrance, Lan looked at the crystal-covered woods and said they seemed familiar, but he could not recall why.

Qin Tian took some Cold Trees from the Secret Realm and brought the amnesiac Lan to Ice Extreme Pass, where he introduced him to his subordinates. As Polar Night began, Qin Tian and Li Qi prepared the fortress for a possible attack by the Luo Hou Family.

• Qin Tian asked Lan for permission to take some Cold Trees, then used Void Force and a Space Gate to transfer a tenth of them to Yang Space.
• Qin Tian brought Lan out of the Secret Realm and showed him the Ice Plain, but Lan could not recover his memories.
• Qin Tian took Lan to Ice Extreme Pass, introduced him to the soldiers and his subordinates, and ordered Zhang Hao to prepare an Ice House for him.
• Li Qi reported that the people and wounded had been settled in, and Qin Tian ordered the perimeter reinforced against a possible attack by the Luo Hou Family.
• As Polar Night fell and the temperature plunged, Qin Tian told everyone to get ready for the approaching darkness.

During Pluto’s Polar Night, Qin Tian tried to transplant Cold Trees into Ice Extreme Pass, but they began to wither until Lan awakened them with his power. The trees raised a barrier that warmed and protected the entire pass, giving Qin Tian a foundation for developing Pluto; he then turned his attention to problems beyond the pass.

• Qin Tian patrolled Ice Extreme Pass with Lan during the worsening blizzard, reassuring the soldiers and witnessing Lan move unharmed through the storm.
• Qin Tian planted some Cold Trees and used his Green Wilderness Monarch talent to help them take root, but he sensed they could not draw nutrients from the frozen ground and would die within three days.
• Lan said he could awaken the Cold Trees, then covered them with his icy energy, allowing them to connect with the soil and raise a barrier that blocked the blizzard and absorbed its cold.
• Qin Tian recognized that the barrier could make Ice Extreme Pass habitable and support its growth as Pluto’s commercial hub, with Lan’s ability to awaken the trees as its key advantage.
• Lan awakened more Cold Trees that Qin Tian planted, expanding the barrier across all of Ice Extreme Pass and raising the temperature to around minus thirty degrees.
• The soldiers rested and moved freely inside the protected pass as Qin Tian looked beyond its walls, preparing to address other problems.

Alaya Luo Hou led a Luo Hou Family force to destroy Ice Extreme Pass, but Qin Tian’s Space Trap and Ghost Bullets killed her troops and all eleven Sixth-Order Psionic Users accompanying her. Left alone, Alaya confronted Qin Tian as he prepared to fight her.

• Alaya Luo Hou’s force approached Ice Extreme Pass under Black Mist, confident that its energy shield and defenses posed no threat.
• Alaya sensed a trap, but Spatial Blades tore through the attackers and killed most of the three hundred elite soldiers.
• Qin Tian’s Ghost Bullets struck down the Sixth-Order Psionic Users, while Alaya failed to locate the hidden shooter.
• Alaya recognized the attacks as the work of Qin Tian and the Ten Great Famous Guns, and the last of her eleven Sixth-Order companions was killed.
• Qin Tian appeared before Alaya, dismissed her threat of retaliation, and readied himself to fight her.

Qin Tian fought Alaya, a Seventh Order warrior of the Luo Hou Family, and endured her Rakshasa Ghost Sword thanks to his regenerative power and Damage Reflection. After gauging the strength of Holy Blood Martial Arts, he decided to end the battle.

• Qin Tian and Alaya exchanged blows on the Ice Plain, with Qin Tian matching her speed despite being only Sixth Order.
• Alaya transformed into her Rakshasa True Body, and Qin Tian activated his Night Demon Great Wings and marked her as his target.
• Alaya’s mental seduction failed against Qin Tian, who wounded her with a lightning-charged punch.
• Alaya unleashed the Rakshasa Ghost Sword and pierced Qin Tian repeatedly, but his Immortal Revival healed him while Turtle Shell Rebound reflected serious injuries onto her.
• Qin Tian recognized the power of Alaya’s Holy Blood Martial Art, resolved to obtain a Golden Rank sword art, and prepared to finish the fight.

Qin Tian fought Alaya while the Luo Hou Family’s second force drove thousands of Snow Beasts toward Ice Extreme Pass. As the pass prepared for the horde, Lu Yuan suspected the Leng Family had reinforced it and sent the Snow Beasts forward to test its defenses.

• Qin Tian regenerated his severed arm and continued to wound Alaya, who became enraged when he mocked her appearance.
• Alaya revealed that Lu Yuan was leading Snow Beasts toward Ice Extreme Pass, hoping to destroy the pass while she kept Qin Tian occupied.
• Zhang Hao and Ma Jun detected the approaching horde and a communications blackout, and Zhang Hao trusted the defenders and Zyra’s vine to hold the pass.
• Lu Yuan found Ice Extreme Pass intact and, unable to contact Alaya, suspected the Leng Family had arrived to reinforce it.
• Lu Yuan sent the frenzied Snow Beasts charging toward Ice Extreme Pass to test its defenses before deciding whether to attack.

Lan froze the Snow Beast horde attacking Ice Extreme Pass, while Lu Yuan escaped underground. Qin Tian forced Alaya to retreat and let her live, planning to use the marks he had placed on her to investigate the Luo Hou Family.

• Li Qi told Zhang Hao that Ice Extreme Pass had few Psionic Cannon shells and no ready Psionic Guns, while the Soul Devouring Demonic Vine had planted a Seed Formation beyond the wall.
• Lan unleashed a wave of cold that froze thousands of Snow Beasts, including two Sixth-Order beasts, and Lu Yuan fled underground on a burrowing Spirit Beast.
• Li Qi and Old Ghost found that Lu Yuan had escaped, while the soldiers at Ice Extreme Pass celebrated the defeat of the horde.
• Qin Tian defended against Alaya's attacks as she waited for news of the Snow Beasts, then she mistakenly concluded that the Leng Family had helped him when the horde's auras vanished.
• Alaya used the Rakshasa Soul Devouring Sword as a feint and escaped, but Qin Tian let her go because he had placed Hunting and Space Marks on her and hoped to uncover the Luo Hou Family's plans.
