After Yue Guan left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Guang Ling’s care, Qin Heng broke through to Rank 30 and refined the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen his spiritual power.

• Qin Heng estimated that his spiritual power had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm and concluded that he could withstand the spiritual shock of a Soul Ring as old as fifty or sixty thousand years.

Qin Heng chose an Ice Mist Frost Butterfly for his Third Soul Ring because its Soul Skill could amplify all attributes and spiritual power. After preparing for the cold, he entered the Ice-Sealed Forest alone to search for a suitable butterfly and test himself in real combat.

• Qin Heng entered the forest wearing the Asura Armor, crossed the outer region, and searched the central area near thick mist and Ice Springs.

Qin Heng searched the Ice-Sealed Forest for a suitable Ice Mist Frost Butterfly but found only one too young to meet his needs. While resting at night, he was ambushed by a three-thousand-year Icefield Snow Leopard, and the chapter ended as he prepared to fight it.

• Qin Heng examined an Ice Mist Frost Butterfly and left after judging its cultivation too low.
• Qin Heng stopped at dusk, ate, and meditated in a sheltered hollow in the Ice-Sealed Forest.
• Qin Heng sensed a lurking attacker and summoned the Asura Armor just before it lunged at him.
• The Icefield Snow Leopard bit Qin Heng's neck guard, but his armor deflected the attack and he hurled the leopard into an ice cliff.
• Qin Heng identified the attacker as an Icefield Snow Leopard and decided to use it for combat training while Guang Ling Douluo watched.

Qin Heng defeated a three-thousand-year Icefield Snow Leopard with his Asura Armor and Wind-Cleaving Claw, then continued searching the Ice-Sealed Forest for an Ice Mist Frost Butterfly. Near the forest’s Core Zone, he found a roughly twelve-thousand-year butterfly beside an Ice Spring, and Guang Ling Douluo shot it down for him.

• The Icefield Snow Leopard froze Qin Heng, but he shattered the ice with his Soul Ring abilities, dodged its pounce, and killed it with the Asura Wind-Cleaving Claw.

• Qin Heng discovered an Ice Mist Frost Butterfly beside an Ice Spring, and Guang Ling Douluo estimated its age at roughly twelve thousand years.
• Qin Heng chose the butterfly, and Guang Ling Douluo used the Guang Ling Divine Bow to shoot it down from three hundred meters away.

Qin Heng absorbed the Ice Mist Frost Butterfly’s 12,000-year Soul Ring and obtained an External Soul Bone called the Illusion Pupil. After learning its abilities, he told Guang Ling Douluo that his Third Soul Skill complemented it.

• Guang Ling Douluo found the Ice Mist Frost Butterfly hiding in the Ice Spring, wounded it with an arrow, and Qin Heng finished it off.
• Qin Heng absorbed the Soul Ring through the night, resisting the butterfly’s mental attack and the pressure of its age.
• Qin Heng completed the absorption and discovered that he had gained the Illusion Pupil, an External Soul Bone with Illusion Body and Illusion Dream skills.
• Qin Heng explained the Illusion Pupil’s abilities and costs to Guang Ling Douluo, then said his Third Soul Skill complemented it.

Qin Heng tested his new strength and returned with Guang Ling Douluo toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, but they stopped in Heaven Dou City for Ye Renxin’s Titled Douluo celebration. At the Ye Clan’s entrance, they encountered Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who recognized Guang Ling as a long-vanished Spirit Hall powerhouse.

• Qin Heng explained his Third Soul Skill, tested at Level 35 Soul Power, and planned to grow strong enough to confront Tang San and Tang Hao.
• Guang Ling Douluo repeatedly made Qin Heng use Illusion Pupil during their month-long return journey, forcing him to recover his spiritual power along the way.
• In Heaven Dou City, Qin Heng and Guang Ling Douluo learned that Ye Renxin had become a Titled Douluo and that the city was celebrating his achievement.
• Guang Ling Douluo took Qin Heng to the crowded Ye Clan, where they encountered Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong arriving in a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect carriage.
• Gu Rong identified Guang Ling Douluo as a former Spirit Hall powerhouse whose Soul Power surpassed his own, and Ning Fengzhi realized he could not gauge Guang Ling’s strength.

• Gu Rong told Ning Fengzhi that Guang Ling Douluo’s Soul Power surpassed his own, leading Ning Fengzhi to fear Spirit Hall’s hidden strength.
• Ning Fengzhi approached Guang Ling Douluo, who explained that he had come to visit Ye Renxin out of curiosity and was not recruiting him for Spirit Hall.

• Guang Ling Douluo released his level 97 pressure and confronted Ning Fengzhi for questioning Qin Heng, while Gu Rong stepped in to protect Ning Fengzhi.

Guang Ling Douluo confronted Ning Fengzhi over his questioning of Qin Heng, and Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, helped mediate the standoff. Ning Fengzhi agreed to give up the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s Heart Separation Control method, and Guang Ling Douluo redirected the offer to Qin Heng.

• Guang Ling Douluo summoned his weapon and nine Soul Rings, threatening to fight Gu Rong after accusing Ning Fengzhi of prying into Qin Heng’s secrets.
• Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, and Ye Renxin intervened to stop the confrontation in Heaven Dou City.
• Ning Fengzhi offered one million Gold Soul Coins, but Guang Ling Douluo demanded a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone; Xue Qinghe protested, and Ning Fengzhi urged him not to involve the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Ye Renxin privately warned Ning Fengzhi not to conflict with Spirit Hall, and Ning Fengzhi offered another condition instead of a Soul Bone.
• Ning Fengzhi agreed to teach Guang Ling Douluo the Heart Separation Control method if he swore not to share it, but Guang Ling Douluo refused and asked that Qin Heng receive it instead.

Qin Heng obtained the Heart Separation Control method and trained his Illusion Body to operate independently, then sent the clone to Suotuo City to scout ahead of his future visit. The clone entered the city disguised as a young child and sought a Martial Soul awakening.

• Qin Heng swore not to reveal the Heart Separation Control method and accepted it from Ning Fengzhi, while Ning Fengzhi suspected that Qin Heng belonged to the Qian Family.
• Qin Heng told Guang Ling Douluo that the method would help him control Illusion Body, while he planned to use the clone to study Soul Beasts and combat without exposing his true identity.
• Qin Heng tested Illusion Body's abilities and confirmed that its Soul Power and spiritual power could recover, its experiences would transfer to him, and it could not raise its power beyond his own at creation.
• After two months of training Heart Separation Control, Qin Heng sent Illusion Body away from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well without Guang Ling Douluo suspecting anything.
• Illusion Body traveled to Suotuo City, changed its appearance to that of a small child, and asked a guard at the Martial Soul Branch Hall for help awakening its Martial Soul.

Qin Heng gave Bibi Dong the Wuji Technique, then went to the Worship Hall and learned how Qian Daoliu had helped three elderly Angel Legion commanders break through to Rank 90. He wondered whether the Qian Family’s Ultimate Light came from the Angel God’s divine position, and ended by looking up at the god’s statue.

• Qian Daoliu explained that Angel Martial Soul users cultivated slowly between Ranks 30 and 70, and that the three elderly commanders would not have advanced without the Soul Core Method.
• Qin Heng wondered whether the Qian Family’s Ultimate Light came from the Angel God’s divine position, then looked up at the Angel God’s statue.

The scandal spread across the continent, and Yu Yuanzhen considered temporarily expelling Yu Xiaogang from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
