Chapter Summaries

Huo Yuhao and Jin Li crossed the Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolute Poison Array and found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the valley below. After they landed, Aromatic Silk Beauty discovered that his original body was missing from the place where his memories said it should be.

• Huo Yuhao and Jin Li passed through the deadly seven-colored poison and saw the hidden valley and its Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Huo Yuhao told Jin Li they had reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and she let go of his hand.
• Aromatic Silk Beauty panicked after searching the area and finding no trace of his original body, which he believed should have been growing there ten thousand years earlier.

Huo Yuhao and Aromatic Silk Beauty searched the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for Aromatic Silk Beauty’s missing true body, only to discover a flower with the same Heart of Qiluo. The flower introduced herself as Youyou, also Aromatic Silk Beauty, leaving the two immortals baffled by their shared identity.

• The flower spoke to Huo Yuhao and Jin Li, and Aromatic Silk Beauty emerged from Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Sea to question her.
• Huo Yuhao explained Spirit Souls to Jin Li while the flower told Aromatic Silk Beauty that her true body was Aromatic Silk Beauty and that he could call her Youyou.

Electrolux explained that Huo Yuhao had crossed into a parallel world rather than traveled into his own past, resolving why events in the two eras did not affect each other and why Youyou resembled Aromatic Silk Beauty. Huo Yuhao asked Youyou for Immortal Herbs, but learned that he could take only one if he passed her trial.

• Aromatic Silk Beauty sensed a deep connection to Youyou, and Electrolux explained that they were similar Immortal Herbs from parallel worlds.

• Huo Yuhao told Youyou that he had come for Immortal Herbs, and she said he could take one after passing a trial.
• Huo Yuhao questioned the one-herb limit because he had planned to take several Immortal Herbs.

• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass attacked with a giant ice hand, then redirected it into the Infernal Delicate Apricot’s next torrent, causing ice and fire to collide.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass called out to Huo Yuhao, “Hold your hand!”

Huo Yuhao negotiated with the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, first securing permission to take three before asking the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass to become his Spirit Soul. After learning he possessed Ultimate Ice, she agreed, hoping to see the outside world and gamble on gaining eternal life if he reached God Rank.

• Huo Yuhao pressured the Immortal Herbs into negotiation, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass asked how many he wanted.
• Huo Yuhao chose three Immortal Herbs for Gu Yue, Gongyang Mo, and himself, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass agreed to let him take them.

• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass questioned their compatibility, and Huo Yuhao revealed his Second Martial Soul's Ultimate Ice attribute.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass agreed to become Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul, explaining that she wanted to see the outside world and believed he might reach God Rank.

• Huo Yuhao identified the Myriad Transformation Soul-Condensing Flower in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record as a way to break Gongyang Mo's martial soul limit.
• Youyou directed Huo Yuhao to a three-thousand-year-old Myriad Transformation Soul-Condensing Flower, which he harvested according to the recorded method and stored in a gold box.
• Huo Yuhao declined to choose a third Immortal Herb until his next visit, upsetting Youyou and angering Infernal Delicate Apricot.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass asked Huo Yuhao to absorb her as his Spirit Soul, and he agreed.

Huo Yuhao and Jin Li returned to the Star Dou Great Forest, where Di Tian brought them to the Lake of Life. Di Tian then drew the Black Dragon Reverse Scale from Huo Yuhao, leaving its purpose unclear.

• Huo Yuhao told Jin Li he would return to Shrek City after their trip to Star Dou, and they flew to the forest together.

• After Jin Li said Huo Yuhao had something to discuss, Di Tian told him not to resist and transported them to the Lake of Life.
• Di Tian reached toward Huo Yuhao and drew the Black Dragon Reverse Scale from between his brows into his palm.

Di Tian discovered that his Black Dragon Reverse Scale carried the Golden Dragon King's aura, so he awakened Gu Yuena. Realizing Huo Yuhao might lead her to the missing Dragon King, Gu Yuena left the Lake of Life to meet him herself.

• Di Tian sensed an unfamiliar higher-ranked Dragon Clan aura on his Reverse Scale and plunged into the Lake of Life to consult Gu Yuena.
• Gu Yuena examined the Reverse Scale and recognized the Golden Dragon King's aura among the lingering traces.
• Di Tian told Gu Yuena that he had not seen the person connected to the aura and had only sensed it after Huo Yuhao returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Gu Yuena decided to leave the lake and meet Huo Yuhao herself, despite Di Tian's concern about her injuries.

At the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena confronted Huo Yuhao about the person who gave him the Silver Dragon King Reverse Scale and demanded to know where they were. When Huo Yuhao could not reveal that Gu Yue was in the future, Gu Yuena invaded his Spirit Sea to search his memories.

• Gu Yuena lost patience and used her overwhelming spiritual power to break through Huo Yuhao's defenses and enter his Spirit Sea.

Gu Yuena invaded Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Sea to search for the source of his Silver Dragon King Reverse Scale, but the Scepter of Destruction struck her down. Mistaking Huo Yuhao for an heir to the Destruction God King, she backed off, and he introduced his Spirit Souls to explain his reason for coming to the Star Dou Great Forest.

• Gu Yuena entered Huo Yuhao’s unusual Spirit Sea and prepared to search his memories for whoever had given him the Silver Dragon King Reverse Scale.
• The Scepter of Destruction unleashed destructive lightning, forced Gu Yuena out of Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Sea, and left her coughing up silver blood.
• Gu Yuena asked whether Huo Yuhao had received a God Position inheritance, and he stayed silent rather than correct her mistaken assumption.
• Gu Yuena changed the subject and asked about the Soul Beasts in Huo Yuhao’s Spirit Sea.
• Huo Yuhao explained that they were Spirit Souls and released Evil Eye, Wangsheng Butterfly, and Aromatic Silk Beauty, saying he had come to discuss the matter with Di Tian.

Before the trip, she warned Huo Yuhao that Star Luo’s imperial family might approach him because of his resemblance and blood relation to the ancient Spirit Ice Douluo; Huo Yuhao then said he had something to tell her.

• Leng Yaozhu invited Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue to join the Federation delegation traveling to Star Luo Continent.
• Leng Yaozhu explained that Star Luo’s invitation was partly meant to probe the Federation after Shrek Academy’s destruction, and Huo Yuhao agreed to go.

• Leng Yaozhu asked Huo Yuhao to stay and told him that the Star Luo imperial family descended from the White Tiger Duke’s lineage and had specifically mentioned him.
• Huo Yuhao rejected any closeness to the White Tiger Lineage, then told Leng Yaozhu he had something important to say.

• Yun Ming told Leng Yaozhu that he had done all he could for Shrek Academy and would leave its future to its successors.
• Huo Yuhao suggested to Leng Yaozhu that Yun Ming could travel to the world ten thousand years earlier, where nobody knew him.

• Huo Yuhao brought Leng Yaozhu back to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, where she complained about Yun Ming asking about Ya Li.
• Leng Yaozhu told Huo Yuhao that Ya Li would not visit Yun Ming in the Undead Plane for at least a year, and Huo Yuhao agreed to her plan.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue departed for the Star Luo Continent with Han Tianyi accompanying them, then reunited with Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan aboard the Federation ship. Huo Yuhao learned that Na'er had enlisted in a mysterious military force.

• Dai Yun'er introduced herself to Huo Yuhao and asked whether he was the Huo Yuhao from Chuanling who ranked first on the Federation Youth Genius Ranking.

• Huo Yuhao sensed that Dai Yun'er had the Spirit Eyes martial soul, questioned her interest in him, and heard her say someone would summon him when they reached the Star Luo Empire.

• Huo Yuhao toured the eight-story Spirit Pagoda in Star Luo City with Gongyang Mo, who said its opening ceremony would take place in seven days.

Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy responded to the Spirit Pagoda’s invitation to unveil Spirit Souls. As Ma Zhong discovered that a seemingly low-level ray gun could unleash far greater power than expected, he asked Jing Hongchen whether Mingde Hall had developed it.

• Mu En asked Qian Duoduo what Spirit Souls were, and Qian Duoduo said Spirit Hall knew only that Huo Yuhao had prepared the Spirit Pagoda long ago.
• Mu En decided Shrek Academy must attend the Spirit Pagoda’s opening and assigned Cai Mei'er to investigate Spirit Souls.

• Ma Zhong fired the gun and watched its ray silently decompose the carpet, floor, and layers beneath them.
• Ma Zhong recognized the gun as a Level 3 Decomposition Ray Gun with power near a Level 5 Soul Tool and asked if Mingde Hall had developed it.
