Background / History
Replacement of Shrek
Xue Nianbing abolished the Sea God Pavilion and renamed it the Ice Snow Palace, while simultaneously renaming Shrek Academy and Shrek City as Ice Snow Academy and Ice Snow City. He imposed the change as an order rather than a negotiation, using Electrolux, the Snow Empress, and the Ice Empress to overwhelm the former Pavilion Elders. 239
The former Shrek leadership was retained rather than executed, as Xue Nianbing considered the Titled Douluo necessary to manage the new organization. Xuan Zi later acted as Ice Snow Palace's acting master in public dealings. 239 258
Consolidation
The Palace removed Shrek's statues and replaced them with a single monument: an ice-blue, six-pointed snowflake known as the Ice Snow symbol. Its members adopted standardized ice-white uniforms with ice-blue patterns and a six-part emblem over the left breast. 246
Its takeover did not interrupt student education. The former academy's facilities were rebuilt, and several older rules were replaced with regulations described as more humane; the change was well received by many students and teachers. 252 257
Xue Nianbing initially concealed that he was the Palace Master, deliberately maintaining uncertainty about the Palace's leadership and true capabilities. He later personally confirmed his identity to Jing Hongchen. 257 379
Continental Expansion
Following the Holy Spirit Cult's failed assault, factions across the continent sought ties with Ice Snow Palace. The organization used this opportunity to begin constructing subsidiary and branch palaces in multiple regions, though establishing main halls in the Heavenly Soul, Dou Ling, and Sun Moon Empires remained more difficult. 395
Ice Snow Palace openly seeks to unify the Douluo Continent. In negotiations with the Heaven Dou Empire, it demanded the right to establish an Ice Snow Main Hall in Tiantou City with authority second only to the imperial power. 490

Major Arcs
Holy Spirit Cult Assault
While Xue Nianbing was in seclusion, the Holy Spirit Cult attacked Ice Snow Palace with nearly fifty Titled Douluo, including around twenty Super Douluo, alongside Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui. The Palace activated its defenses and assembled its Titled Douluo force. 393 394
Saint Law Douluo and the Ice and Snow Emperors confronted the invaders. Faced with three Limit Douluo and uncertainty over the hidden Palace Master's strength, the Holy Spirit Cult retreated. 394 395
Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament
Ice Snow Palace entered the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament under Xue Nianbing's leadership. He instantly defeated Dragon Slaying Sect's first contestant without using a Martial Soul or Soul Tool. 535
Its team later revealed a lineup of six Soul Saints and one Soul Emperor, leading multiple opponents to concede rather than fight. 553
Ice Snow Palace won the tournament championship after Xue Nianbing killed the Holy Spirit Sect team in retaliation for its prior actions. 581
