Xue Ke defeated Chen Xin in the Seven Great Sects re-election, though Chen Xin withdrew because the Source of Truth had injured him internally.

Xue Ke sent Tang San to infiltrate the Star Luo Empire and build influence for Heaven Dou’s eventual conquest, then told Gu Yuena she would take Wei Xi to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring. Gu Yuena allowed the trip, and Xue Ke’s next move was set for the following day.

• Gu Yuena gave Xue Ke permission, saying she did not have to protect every soul beast.

Xue Ke escaped Gu Yuena’s and then Hu Liena’s and Ning Rongrong’s clutches before taking Wei Xi to the Star Dou Great Forest to find her first soul ring. There, the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm offered to become Wei Xi’s intelligent soul ring, leaving Xue Ke to consider his proposal.

• Gu Yuena kept Xue Ke from leaving, and later Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong used what they had learned from Gu Yuena to corner her in a pink room.
• Xue Ke met Wei Xi at Spirit Hall Academy and took her to the Star Dou Great Forest to seek a soul ring suited to her spiritual-type Body Martial Soul.
• After Xue Ke and Wei Xi found no suitable soul beasts and stopped to eat, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from underground.
• Xue Ke recognized that the enormous silkworm had at least a hundred thousand years of cultivation and challenged its claim to be a million-year soul beast.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked to become Wei Xi’s soul ring and explained that it could seal its power and let the ring’s age grow as Wei Xi became stronger.

Wei Xi accepted the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm as her first Soul Ring, gaining four powerful mental skills and the potential for a second martial soul. After Di Tian arrived too late to stop the silkworm’s escape, Xue Ke and Wei Xi returned to Spirit City, where they planned a trip to the Far North.

• Xue Ke warned Wei Xi that absorbing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could be dangerous, but Wei Xi chose to take the risk so she could become stronger and help her sister.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm merged into Wei Xi, unleashing immense spiritual power and giving her a million-year Soul Ring before vanishing with its laughter.
• Di Tian arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest too late and explained that the Spirit Beasts had captured the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for its heaven-and-earth essence.
• Wei Xi woke in Xue Ke’s arms and described the four soul skills she had gained, along with the ice-attribute martial soul the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had added to her.
• Back in Spirit City, Xue Ke asked to take Wei Xi to the Far North to find her second martial soul, and Qian Renxue confirmed that Qian Daoliu would oversee Spirit Hall.

Xue Ke and her companions traveled into the Far North to complete a divine trial connected to the Snow Drink Demonic Blade. After Snow Empress learned that Xue Ke knew the blade’s secret, she invited the group into Ice God Palace, wondering if Xue Ke was the person the Ice God had awaited.

• Gu Yuena declined to travel with Xue Ke, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Wei Xi, while Qian Renxue worried about Gu Yuena’s influence.
• Two days later, Xue Ke summoned Xue Aotian, and the four traveled north before continuing on foot through the Far North.
• Xue Ke built an ice house to shelter the group from a blizzard and helped keep Wei Xi warm as they approached the Far North’s core.
• A hundred-thousand-year soul beast confronted the group, but Bibi Dong blocked its sound attack, and the beast led them to Ice God Palace.
• Xue Ke told Snow Empress that their divine trial concerned the Snow Drink Demonic Blade, and Snow Empress invited them inside.

Xue Ke met the Ice God’s lingering consciousness in the Ice God Palace and learned the history of the Snow Drink Demonic Blade. To earn its recognition, she had to make Snow Empress happy and bring her to the God Realm, and Snow Empress chose to become sisters with Bibi Dong.

• Xue Ke and her companions followed Snow Empress into the Ice God Palace, where they saw the Ice God’s statue.
• The Ice God explained that the God Realm had destroyed his body and god position to seize the Snow Drink Demonic Blade, and that his divine consciousness had become its blade spirit.

• The Ice God declared that Xue Ke’s trial was to make Snow Empress happy and find a way to bring her to the God Realm.
• Snow Empress decided she wanted to become good sisters with Bibi Dong, who readily agreed, while Ice Empress resented the new bond.

Xue Ke persuaded Ice Empress to become Wei Xi’s second martial soul’s first soul ring, preserving her consciousness so she could eventually follow Snow Empress to the God Realm. Meanwhile, Snow Empress and Bibi Dong shared their life stories, and Snow Empress admitted she did not know how to find happiness.

• Ice Empress suspected Wei Xi’s first soul ring came from Tian Meng Ice Silkworm, and Xue Ke proposed that Ice Empress become a soul ring so she could accompany Snow Empress to the God Realm.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm appeared from Wei Xi’s soul ring and confirmed that Ice Empress could preserve her consciousness, so Ice Empress agreed to the arrangement.
• With Xue Ke’s help, Wei Xi absorbed Ice Empress as the first soul ring of her second martial soul, which took shape as the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
• In Wei Xi’s spiritual sea, Ice Empress fell asleep while Sky Dream Ice Silkworm called himself her devoted guardian.
• Snow Empress told Bibi Dong that she had chosen her because Bibi Dong was the first human to open her heart, and Bibi Dong recounted her life story.
• Snow Empress described her long life and confessed that she had no pursuit beyond continuing to live, while Bibi Dong considered how to help her find happiness.

Bibi Dong’s attempt to cheer Snow Empress with two books led to them bathing together, completing her mission to help Snow Empress. Xue Ke drew the Snow Drink Demonic Blade through her compassion for all living things, and she, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong received their second-trial rewards.

• Bibi Dong gave Snow Empress two books, and Snow Empress mistook them for an invitation to exchange affection.
• Snow Empress took Bibi Dong to an ice lake and pulled her into the water; they later returned together, and Snow Empress thanked the Ice God.

• Xue Ke absorbed the blade into her body, and Xue Ke, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong received their second-trial rewards and began absorbing or summoning them.

After returning to Heaven Dou City, Xue Ke refused Xue Ye’s request to inherit the throne before reaching Titled Douluo. Chu Yunfei then maneuvered her into wearing the dragon robe and being hailed as emperor, leaving her to realize that her enthronement had already been arranged.

After Xue Ke stabilized the Heaven Dou Empire, Bibi Dong merged it with the Spirit Hall Empire to form the Heavenly Martial Empire, leaving the Star Luo Empire alarmed by the new power.

• The Star Luo army crossed the moat on floating bridges and attacked again, but Xue Ke and the defenders repelled the assault, leaving more than three hundred thousand Star Luo soldiers dead.

After the Star Luo Empire’s failed attack on Tianxue City, Dai Xiao accepted the Heavenly Martial Empire’s demands rather than risk war. Xue Ke returned to Spirit City, began her third assessment, and was unexpectedly made emperor while Bibi Dong was away.

After Dai Weisi signed the surrender document, Xue Ke arrived with her army and granted him the title of Duke and Dragonrise City as his fief.
