Yue Guan and Guimei received a lead on Danheng’s whereabouts from Shi Nian, who had seen him near the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. They set out to decide whether to pursue him or report back to Bibi Dong, suspecting he may have gone there to add Soul Rings to a second Martial Soul.

• Yue Guan and Guimei learned that Shi Nian had information about the powerful man they were searching for.
• Shi Nian told them he had encountered Danheng near the Star Dou Great Forest and believed he had gone deep into it.
• Yue Guan promised Shi Nian a reward, and he and Guimei left Canghui City with the lead.
• Yue Guan and Guimei weighed going to the forest against returning to Spirit Hall, and guessed Danheng might have a second Martial Soul.
• Yue Guan argued they could avoid the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts because Danheng would probably begin with ten-thousand-year Soul Rings.

Yue Guan and Guimei headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest, while Di Tian brought Danheng to the Lake of Life, where the Dragon Kings recognized him. Di Tian trusted Danheng enough to arrange for the ferocious beasts to spar with him, while someone hidden deep underground wondered if Danheng could bring hope.

• Yue Guan and Guimei decided to search the Star Dou Great Forest for Danheng rather than return to Spirit Hall and risk punishment from His Holiness.

• Di Tian proposed that the ferocious beasts get acquainted with Danheng and spar with him, reassuring Zi Ji that Danheng would stop at the right point.
• Deep underground, an unknown voice wondered whether Danheng could bring it hope.

Danheng learned from Di Tian that Soul Beasts feared the God Realm because they were barred from godhood and the Dragon God had been killed by the Asura God. After the two Dragon Kings considered staying in the Star Dou Great Forest, Danheng wandered into a secluded area and sensed a vast spiritual power approaching him.

• Di Tian introduced Danheng to Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Scarlet King, and Ten Thousand Demon King, and Danheng chose not to ask them to spar.
• Danheng asked Di Tian why he hated humans, and Di Tian explained that the God Realm prevented Soul Beasts from ascending and that some took human form to cultivate again.

• Di Tian left after explaining his hopes for the Silver Dragon King and the Soul Beast race, while the two Dragon Kings discussed staying in the forest to recover.
• Danheng explored the area, spoke briefly with Ten Thousand Demon King and Scarlet King, and sensed a vast spiritual power approaching from a secluded place.

Danheng entered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s Spiritual Space and discovered that the supposedly million-year soul beast could not affect him with its spiritual power. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked him to help it escape by taking its spiritual consciousness, promising to offer him new things in return.

• Danheng followed Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s spiritual guidance into its Spiritual Space and calmly resisted its spiritual probe.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed an enormous dragon-like presence around Danheng and abandoned its intimidating act to call him big brother.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that Di Tian and the others had captured and sealed it, forcing it to provide them with energy.
• Danheng questioned why he should help after getting along with Di Tian, and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm offered to leave its physical body behind and have Danheng take its spiritual consciousness.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm tried to persuade Danheng to take him to the Far North, but Danheng asked what useful value he could provide and offered to discuss his release with Di Tian.
• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave up and dismissed the spiritual space, and Danheng returned to the forest.

• Di Tian noticed signs that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm might have complained and went to inspect the seal.
• Di Tian asked the ferocious beasts to leave, then brought Danheng to the seal and confronted Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about trying to escape with Danheng's help.

Danheng heard how Di Tian used Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s embarrassing history to stop him from trying to escape, then learned about the Far North’s three great beasts. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue discovered that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were searching for Danheng and sent She Long to investigate a Herb Garden instead.

• Di Tian teased Sky Dream Ice Silkworm about his past, and the silkworm agreed to stop trying to escape rather than have his secrets exposed.
• Di Tian told Danheng that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had fallen in love with the Ice Empress, an Ice Jade Scorpion Empress ranked second among the Far North’s three great beasts.

• Yue Guan heard a familiar voice calling to him as he and Guimei were leaving.

• Yue Guan and Guimei found Danheng just after he emerged from the forest’s depths and led him away from the Titan Giant Ape.
• Yue Guan introduced Guimei and explained that Spirit Hall’s Your Holiness wanted to meet Danheng, while Danheng insisted on keeping the Ghost Eye Underworld Soul Flower until they settled an exchange.

• Danheng agreed to travel to Spirit City, and Yue Guan sent an urgent message before the three set out.
• She Long searched the forest on Qian Renxue’s orders, then learned at a Spirit Hall branch that Yue Guan, Guimei, and Danheng had already left.

• Qian Daoliu recalled Qian Renxue’s report that Xue Beng had died, Xue Xing had become mute, Xue Qinghe would inherit the throne, and Danheng had triggered the earthquake that destroyed Heaven Dou City.

• Hu Liena told Xie Yue and Yan that she had encountered Danheng, and they wondered why Spirit Hall’s guest was wandering the streets.
• Yue Guan approached Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan and asked why they were there.

Hu Liena asked Yue Guan about the Immortal Herbs that had helped him break through, and he agreed to teach her about them. Meanwhile, Danheng sought access to Spirit Hall’s Library Pavilion, prompting Bibi Dong to approve his request and arrange to meet him.

• Hu Liena sent Xie Yue and Yan away, then asked Yue Guan whether the Immortal Herbs had helped him reach Rank Ninety-Six and strengthen his body.

• The Library Pavilion’s manager reported Danheng’s request to Bibi Dong, who approved his entry at the next opening and decided to meet him.
• Bibi Dong assigned Yue Guan to accompany her and handed his workload to Guimei, who complained about the extra duties.

Danheng met Bibi Dong at the Spirit Hall Library Pavilion, where she offered to reveal Slaughter City's location in exchange for another Immortal Herb. He agreed, and Bibi Dong’s negotiation was interrupted by the Rakshasa God’s Will affecting her again.

• Yue Guan guided Danheng into the Library Pavilion to meet Bibi Dong.

• Bibi Dong explained that a person had to win one hundred arena challenges and pass through the Infernal Path to leave Slaughter City.
• Danheng agreed to Bibi Dong’s offer as the Rakshasa God’s Will began affecting her.

Bibi Dong struggled to suppress the Rakshasa God's Will during her meeting with Danheng, then granted him unrestricted access to Spirit Hall's Library Pavilion. Danheng discovered records about Sea God Island and its High Priest, Bo Saixi, while Yue Guan later delivered his library pass and said Bibi Dong still needed time to decide about the Immortal Herbs.
