Huo Yuhao used an evil cultivation method to refine Dai Hao with the hearts of 999 Soul Elders, intending to strengthen Dai Hao’s heart and White Tiger bloodline. As the hearts merged into Dai Hao and his body twisted in agony, Huo Yuhao insisted the torture was for his father’s own good.

• Huo Yuhao stored Dai Hao Demon in the Brocade Pouch and returned to oversee the Healing Angel’s refinement as Wang Xian'er’s spirit weakened.
• Wang Xian'er asked Huo Yuhao about his purpose, sensed that he truly wanted to lead Douluo Continent toward a better tomorrow, and then gave up resisting and vanished.

As tension between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire disrupted trade and Shrek Academy’s Soul Tool Department, Huo Yuhao met Zhu Lu in secret. Zhu Lu had become a rank 49 Soul Ancestor and demanded help fixing a problem with the cultivation method he had given her, but Huo Yuhao insisted she pay him first.

• The chapter described how worsening relations between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire made strategic resources harder to obtain, delaying Shrek Academy’s exchange program and hindering Fan Yu’s work.

• Zhu Lu's father had selected relatives with limited prospects for cultivation to test whether the art could help them and strengthen his position within the family.

Zhu Lu discovered that the cultivation technique that had raised her to rank 49 also permanently halted her normal cultivation, so she went to Huo Yuhao for help. Their dual cultivation brought her to rank 50, and the chapter ended with Nan Shuishui joining them and Huo Yuhao preparing to continue.

• Zhu Lu's father's experiments showed that the technique benefited feline martial soul Soul Masters, especially women with the orthodox Netherworld Cat martial soul, while Zhu Lu cultivated faster than the others.

• Huo Yuhao suggested Zhu Lu could use the technique to control Zhu Family Women, and she began seriously considering the power it could give her.

Huo Yuhao heard from Zhu Lu about the Duchess and imperial family tightening their control over Duke White Tiger's Mansion, while the Zhu Family kept its distance and continued building its strength. Back at Shrek Academy, he tended his centipedes and uncovered a hidden passage beneath his hut.

• Zhu Lu told Huo Yuhao that the Duchess and the imperial family were working to secure Dai Huabin's succession and control Duke White Tiger's Mansion.

• Huo Yuhao and the three women continued through the Mixed Zone, then found a cold valley that led to an Underground Cave inhabited by Ice Attribute Soul Beasts.

• At dawn, Huo Yuhao led Ma Xiaotao, Wei Na, and Ling Luochen into the Underground Cave to begin their Soul Beast hunt.

Huo Yuhao led Ma Xiaotao, Wei Na, and Ling Luochen through an underground cave to a lake where an Ice Soul Mystic Snake was hiding. Ma Xiaotao drew the snake out, and its strength made it a suitable target for Ling Luochen.

• Huo Yuhao guided the group through the cave's branching passages while concealing that he had arranged their route in advance.

• Huo Yuhao claimed an Ice Attribute soul beast was hiding in the lake, and Ma Xiaotao attacked the water to force it out.
• An Ice Soul Mystic Snake emerged and attacked Ma Xiaotao; the group saw that it had just surpassed twenty thousand years of cultivation.

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen worked together to defeat an Ice Soul Mystic Snake, and Ling Luochen began absorbing its soul ring. As the others guarded her, Huo Yuhao concealed a dangerous plan involving ritual artifacts hidden around the cave.

• Ling Luochen froze the lake’s surface with her Ice Staff while Ma Xiaotao struck the Ice Soul Mystic Snake with Phoenix Piercing Cloud Strike.
• Ling Luochen trapped the snake with Ice Radiance Ring and Ice Cage, allowing Ma Xiaotao to hit it with a stronger attack.

• Huo Yuhao revealed that he had lured away two stronger snakes and had hidden ritual artifacts around the cave, which he could activate at any time.

Ling Luochen absorbed the Ice Soul Mystic Snake’s soul ring, gained an external soul bone, and advanced to Soul Emperor before learning about its strange abilities. As the group celebrated, two powerful Ice Soul Mystic Snakes emerged from the lake and attacked.

• During Ling Luochen’s absorption, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao sensed an external soul bone fuse with her, and Huo Yuhao identified it as a Snake Kiss External Soul Bone attached to her mouth.
