He planned to earn personal faith by developing new systems for cultivation and technology, then left the canyon to begin his work.

• Yu Yuanchen discovered that the broken Thunder God Position survived through faith directed toward thunder and learned about two ways to repair it.

Yu Yuanchen devised a method for condensing a unique Soul Core, broke through to Rank 77, and returned to Dragon City to discuss the dangerous idea with Yu Boxuan. Meanwhile, Tang Chen won a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring from the Titan Giant Ape but lost the Great Elder when the Sky Azure Bull Python attacked, prompting Yu Yuanchen to consider meeting Tang Chen sooner.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Xiao Wu’s mother were killed, Xiao Wu escaped into the forest, and Yu Yuanchen began absorbing the python’s Soul Ring.

• Yu Yuanchen’s group found the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, beside Xiao Wu and her mother at a lake deep in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Yu Boxuan, Yu Yuanchen, Tang Chen, and eight Elders trapped and attacked Da Ming while Yu Qingtian and Yu Bo Yu fought the two Soft Bone Rabbits.

Yu Yuanchen broke through to Rank 85 after five months of secluded cultivation, then discovered Ye Zhilan had created Mountain Splitting Force, a powerful self-created technique combining soul power and Bloodline Power. After advising her on how to refine it, he resolved to grow stronger and reach Rank 90 to protect his sect and influence the coming upheaval.

• Yu Yuanchen told his family he would seek a powerful Ninth Soul Ring on his own, considering the Star Dou Great Forest, the Extreme North, the seas, and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Yu Yuanchen set out for Sunset Forest to seek his Ninth Soul Ring, with Ye Zhilan joining him to gain experience. After traveling together and handling trouble on the road, they arrived at Heaven Dou City, intending to continue toward Sunset Forest without seeking contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

• Yu Yuanchen told Yu Boxuan he planned to search Sunset Forest for a Ninth Soul Ring, and Ye Zhilan asked to accompany him; Yu Yuanchen agreed.
• Yu Boxuan gave Yu Yuanchen the clan's inherited treasure, and three days later Yu Yuanchen and Ye Zhilan left Dragon City for Sunset Forest.

• Yu Yuanchen stepped outside to think over the inconclusive search, and Xue Han told him the Sunset Forest materials had been delivered to his Separate Courtyard.

Yu Yuanchen firmly rejected Prince Xue Han’s proposal that he marry Princess Mingzhu and make Ye Zhilan a secondary wife. After three days of research, he and Ye Zhilan found records of extreme yin and yang earth veins in Sunset Forest, leading Yu Yuanchen to suspect they could converge near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he prepared to search the forest.

• Prince Xue Han proposed a political marriage between Yu Yuanchen and Princess Mingzhu, suggesting Ye Zhilan could become a lesser wife.
• Yu Yuanchen refused the proposal, declaring his devotion to Ye Zhilan and rejecting royal pressure; Xue Han accepted his decision but grew more calculating toward him.

After Ye Zhilan absorbed the Medusa’s Head Soul Bone, they discovered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its rare plants.
