• Tang San struggled with the thought that Tang Hao had abused him, but his sense of filial duty kept him from fully resenting his father.
• Xue Bingchen explained that Tang San’s Blue Silver Grass had degenerated because of malnutrition and the suppression of his second martial soul.
• Xue Bingchen revealed that Tang San’s true martial soul was the Blue Silver Emperor, shocking Tang San and Xiao Wu.
• Tang San reasoned that his Innate Full Soul Power and Clear Sky Hammer proved his first martial soul could not be ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

Tang San realized Xue Bingchen had helped awaken the power of his Blue Silver Emperor and was sent to follow its summons to evolve his Martial Soul and obtain a second Spirit Ring. Before Xue Bingchen could leave the valley with Tang San and Xiao Wu, Dugu Bo arrived with his granddaughter Dugu Yan, who thanked Xue Bingchen by calling him “Big Brother.”

• Xue Bingchen left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Tang San and Xiao Wu, while Dugu Yan watched him go and blushed when Dugu Bo teased her about liking him.
• Over the following days, Tang San sensed a mysterious bloodline call, and Xue Bingchen guided him and Xiao Wu toward its source.
• The three entered a primeval forest covered entirely in unusually sturdy, crystalline Blue Silver Grass, leaving Xiao Wu amazed by its beauty.
• As Tang San stepped onto the Blue Silver Grass-covered land, his dormant bloodline ignited, his vision blurred, and he began witnessing an unbelievable scene.

Tang San felt a powerful bloodline resonance in the Blue Silver Forest and briefly saw the phantom of his mother, Ah Yin, before Xue Bingchen urged him onward. The resonance awakened Ah Yin in her hidden cave, where she realized how poorly she had been planted and began to suspect Tang Hao; meanwhile, Tang San and his companions reached the forest’s center.

Tang San learned from the Blue Silver King that his mother had been the Blue Silver Emperor, a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast who sacrificed herself after his birth. The revelation left Tang San shaken, while Snow Empress wondered whether he was human or a Soul Beast.

• The Blue Silver King recognized Tang San as the heir to the Blue Silver Emperor and told him that his mother had died six years earlier.
• Tang San demanded to know how his mother had died, then insisted that the Blue Silver King show Xue Bingchen the same respect as him and keep no secrets from his master.

• Tang San realized his mother had been a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, leaving him to question his own nature.
• Xiao Wu realized Tang San was part Soul Beast, and Snow Empress asked Xue Bingchen whether Tang San was human or a Soul Beast.

Xue Bingchen told the Blue Silver King to reveal what he knew, and the Blue Silver King explained that Ah Yin had transformed long before she faced her next Heavenly Tribulation, leaving her reasons unclear.

• Tang San accepted Xiao Wu's account of his mother's sacrifice but wondered whether Tang Hao had loved Ah Yin or planned to harvest her Spirit Ring.
• Tang San asked Xue Bingchen whether it was time to learn the truth about his origins, and Xue Bingchen told the Blue Silver King to explain what he knew.
• The Blue Silver King explained that Soul Beasts faced a Heavenly Tribulation every hundred thousand years and that Ah Yin had only recently passed the one-hundred-thousand-year mark.
• The Blue Silver King said Ah Yin still had tens of thousands of years before her next tribulation and admitted he did not understand why she had transformed and entered the human world.

Tang San learned that his mother had left behind a Seed of Life and could be revived, though she needed a spiritually rich treasure land to recover. He resolved to seek Dugu Bo’s permission to use the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and agreed to inherit the Blue Silver Clan’s throne.

• The Blue Silver King told Tang San that his mother had left behind a Seed of Life when she sacrificed herself, and that she could eventually be revived.
• Xue Bingchen identified the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as an ideal place to nurture Tang San’s mother’s seed, but warned Tang San that using Dugu Bo’s territory would create a debt he must repay himself.
• Tang San promised to repay Dugu Bo and reflected that Xue Bingchen’s teachings had kept him from trying to seize the treasure land by force.
• The Blue Silver King asked Tang San to inherit the throne and protect the Blue Silver Clan, and Tang San agreed.

Tang San became the Blue Silver Emperor, awakened the Blue Silver Domain, and received a thousand-year Life-Bound Soul Ring. After Xue Bingchen revealed his six Spirit Rings, including a hundred-thousand-year ring, the Blue Silver King rallied the clan to help him condense a Life-Bound Soul Ring.

• Tang San received the Blue Silver Clan’s blessing, transformed his martial soul into the Blue Silver Emperor, and awakened the Blue Silver Domain.

• Tang San agreed but realized he had no way to transport living Blue Silver Grass and turned to Xue Bingchen for help.

Xue Bingchen gave Tang San a Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch to carry the Blue Silver Grass chosen to help revive his mother, then accompanied Tang San and Xiao Wu as Tang San followed his bloodline toward the Seed of Life. Their journey led through Notting City to the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village, where Tang San sensed his mother was hidden.

• Xue Bingchen gave Tang San the Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, and the Blue Silver King selected more than a dozen powerful Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Grass for Tang San to carry.

• Tang San followed his bloodline resonance to the waterfall behind Holy Soul Village and sensed that his mother's Seed of Life was inside.

• Xiao Wu remarked that the lonely grass looked like grass on a grave, intensifying Tang San’s grief and fury.
• Tang San decided Tang Hao was no longer worthy of being his father and vowed to kill him.

• Tang San pleaded with Xue Bingchen for help, calling him “Father,” while Xiao Wu and Xue Bingchen stared in surprise.

Xue Bingchen broke the barrier around Ah Yin’s Blue Silver Emperor and discovered the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden beneath it. Tang San awakened Ah Yin’s sleeping soul with his Blue Silver Domain and reunited with her, leaving him sobbing in her embrace.

• Xue Bingchen reflected that Tang San was not Tang Hao and Ah Yin’s original son, but accepted his bond with Ah Yin’s body and broke the Soul Power barrier.

• Tang San cried out to Ah Yin and buried his face among her vines.

Tang San learned that he could use the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone to help restore Ah Yin, and Xue Bingchen entrusted it to him.

• Ah Yin asked Tang San who Xue Bingchen was, and Tang San told her how his master had helped him awaken his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and find her.

Tang San absorbed Ah Yin’s Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone with Xue Bingchen’s guidance, while Ah Yin expressed gratitude and Xiao Wu envied his fortune. The absorption raised Tang San to the level-thirty bottleneck, leaving the rest of the soul bone’s energy unabsorbed.

• Tang San credited Xue Bingchen with his achievements, and Ah Yin bowed her Blue Silver Emperor stalk in gratitude before urging Tang San to absorb the soul bone.
• Tang San began refining the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, while Xue Bingchen stopped Ah Yin from suggesting she might repay him and insisted on his role as Tang San’s elder.
• Xiao Wu watched Tang San absorb the soul bone and complained that his gifts and cultivation surpassed hers.
• After about two hours, Tang San finished absorbing its energy and reached the level-thirty bottleneck, with more energy still remaining in the soul bone.
