After earning Zhen Hua’s trust by promising to keep his suspicions secret, Su Mo received an invitation from Mu Ye to join the Body Sect. Mu Ye offered the sect’s full resources to help Su Mo reach Titled Douluo before eighteen, revealing that he knew Su Mo had to reach that realm to survive.

• Su Mo looked toward Mu Xi, who admitted she had not meant to reveal his situation, and Mu Ye explained that he had coaxed the information from her.

Su Mo reassured Mu Xi that he had faked his life-force injury to obtain compensation from the Tang Sect, then agreed to join the Body Sect under a condition that it never restrict his actions. Mu Ye accepted, convinced Su Mo’s Sharingan and training could help preserve the Body Sect’s future.

• Su Mo explained to Yuan Baoer and Zhen Hua that he had simulated the life-force damage to extort benefits from the Tang Sect, and Zhen Hua promised to back him if the sect reneged.
• Su Mo agreed to join the Body Sect on the condition that it would not restrict or command him, though he would help if it faced destruction.
• Mu Ye accepted Su Mo’s condition because he wanted to protect the Body Sect’s inheritance rather than demand service from him.
• Mu Ye reasoned that Su Mo’s Sharingan might be an inheritable Body Martial Soul and concluded from his controlled breathing that he had trained with a body-tempering secret art since childhood.

Mu Ye examined Su Mo and discovered that his physique and Soul Power made him exceptionally suited to the Body Sect's body-tempering method. Zhen Hua gave Su Mo valuable forging notes and Gold-Water Mutual Containment, and after dinner he prepared to leave but Yuan Baoer asked him to guide Su Mo first.

After Mu Ye gave him the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Method and left with Zhen Hua, Su Mo returned home to find the room dark and everyone missing.

• Su Mo explained that he could not share the feat because it depended on Earth Attribute Chakra, Life Gold, and the Douluo Continent’s rules.

• Su Mo asked whether she had met Tang San, and the shark’s offer to stop believing in him prompted his surprised question.

• Bai Xiuxiu said she had seen Tang San during his trials on Sea God Island and revealed that her mother was Xiao Bai, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

• Ice Empress revealed her true form, and Bai Xiuxiu recognized her as the legendary Ice Empress who had followed Huo Yuhao and ascended to the God Realm.

In the deep sea, Su Mo revealed that Tang San had separated the ocean from the Douluo Plane, causing the Plane Origin’s decline.

• Ice Empress told Bai Xiuxiu that the God Realm was no better than Douluo Continent, and Su Mo asked Bai Xiuxiu to take them to her people.

Su Mo and Bai Xiuxiu found Xiao Bai facing off against the Evil Orca King after Xiao Bai blamed him for Bai Xiuxiu's disappearance. Bai Xiuxiu's arrival revealed the misunderstanding, but the Evil Orca King refused to let the deaths of his clansmen go unanswered, and Su Mo intervened as both sides prepared to fight.

• Ice Empress sensed powerful auras ahead, and Bai Xiuxiu smelled blood, so Su Mo sent them to investigate.
• Xiao Bai confronted the Evil Orca King, accusing him of taking her daughter and threatening to fight after finding several Demon Soul Great White Sharks dead.

• Su Mo spoke up as the two sides prepared to attack, lamenting that the opposing Sea Soul Beasts were Evil Spirit Orcas.

Su Mo and the Ice Empress stopped the Evil Orca King and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, then Su Mo asked Xiao Bai about a divine artifact Tang San had forged. The Demon Soul Great White Sharks’ relief collapsed when Su Mo revealed the Ice Empress had fallen out with Huo Yuhao and Tang San.

• The Evil Orca King decided to withdraw after Xiao Bai challenged him, but the Ice Empress froze the sea and blocked his path at Su Mo’s request.
• Su Mo told the Evil Orca King he wanted to talk, then turned to question Xiao Bai and the Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

• Su Mo asked Xiao Bai where Tang San’s divine artifact was, and Xiao Bai realized he was not Tang San’s envoy.
• Su Mo revealed that the Ice Empress had fallen out with Huo Yuhao and Tang San, leaving Xiao Bai stunned.

Su Mo threatened the Demon Soul Great White Sharks until Xiao Bai revealed that Tang San’s divine artifact was with the Sea God’s descendants, who had moved to land. He learned that Xiao Bai could contact them through members on New Sea God Island and ordered her to lead him there, while summoning the Evil Orca King before they set out.

• An Evil Spirit Orca told the Evil Orca King that Su Mo and Xiao Bai were not Tang San’s allies and had come to oppose him.
• Su Mo revealed he was no longer a Soul Beast and threatened to let the Ice Empress kill the Demon Soul Great White Sharks unless Xiao Bai revealed the divine artifact’s location.
• Xiao Bai surrendered and said the artifact was with the Descendants of the First Sea God, who had left the ocean to live on land.
• Su Mo deduced from Xiao Bai’s reaction that she could contact Chen Xinjie and learned she used Sea God descendants who remained on New Sea God Island as intermediaries.
• Su Mo ordered Xiao Bai to take him to the descendants and beckoned the Evil Orca King over before they departed.

Su Mo learned why the Evil Orca King hated Tang San and asked him about the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan. The Evil Orca King revealed that he had met the Demon Empress but faltered when Su Mo asked whether he could contact her.

• Su Mo asked the Evil Orca King why he hated Tang San, and the king explained that Tang San had branded his clan as sea-dwelling Evil Soul Masters and fueled human hunts against them.

• Su Mo asked whether the Evil Orca King had seen a Deep Sea Demon Whale, and the king excitedly said he had even met the Demon Empress.
• Su Mo asked the Evil Orca King if he could contact the Demon Empress, and the king looked guilty and struggled to answer.

Su Mo learned that the Demon Empress was nearly a million-year Soul Beast and might be the Demon Whale King's surviving wife, putting Xiao Bai's clan in danger. He agreed to consider protecting them if Xiao Bai completed a task and set off with her for New Sea God Island.

• Su Mo gave the Evil Orca King a Soul Guidance Communicator and asked him to use it to contact Su Mo if the Demon Empress appeared.
• The Evil Orca King said the Demon Empress was one step from a million years of cultivation and had surpassed the Demon Whale King's former aura.
• Xiao Bai realized the Demon Empress might be the Demon Whale King's wife and feared she would take revenge on the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan.
• Xiao Bai begged Ice Empress to protect her people, but Ice Empress rejected her appeal and mocked her faith in Tang San.
• Su Mo offered to protect Xiao Bai's clan if they completed a task, then asked her to take him to New Sea God Island.

On the way to New Sea God Island, Su Mo explained why he and the Ice Empress opposed Tang San, while Bai Xiuxiu apologized to the Ice Empress and revealed her distress over her ice attribute. Xiao Bai decided to give Xiuxiu her Shark Pearl and entrust her to Su Mo and the Ice Empress so her daughter could leave the clan and survive.

• Xiao Bai asked why Su Mo and the Ice Empress opposed Tang San, and Su Mo said their interests conflicted and the Ice Empress sought revenge for her people.
• Bai Xiuxiu apologized to the Ice Empress for her earlier anger, and the Ice Empress asked whether Xiuxiu was ice-attributed.
• Su Mo said Xiuxiu had no solution to her difficulty hunting except taking human form and living among humans, so Xiao Bai asked him to take her daughter with him.
• Xiao Bai offered to pass her Shark Pearl to Xiuxiu, which would raise Xiuxiu's cultivation to one hundred thousand years, but Xiuxiu protested because the transfer could kill her mother.
• Xiao Bai admitted she had planned to pass on the pearl and entrust Xiuxiu to Su Mo and the Ice Empress to protect her and preserve the clan's bloodline.

Su Mo brought Xiao Bai and the Ice Empress toward New Sea God Island, where he planned to impersonate Tang San’s envoys and lure Chen Xinjie back.

Chen Xinjie arranged to return in three hours and ordered Chen Xinyi to keep the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan’s extinction secret; the visitors’ purpose remained unknown.

• Chen Xinyi welcomed the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and Xiao Bai to the reception room, where the Ice Empress reacted coldly when he praised Huo Yuhao.
