• Qin Heng recovered from the fusion with greater height and powerful Bloodline Power, realizing that his body had begun transforming.

After gaining Ice Element Control and Fire Element Control from the True Dragon Reverse Scales, Qin Heng discovered that his level-fifty-nine bottleneck required him to condense a Soul Core rather than simply gather more Soul Power.

• Qin Heng told Golden Crocodile Douluo that he wanted an evenly matched opponent, and they agreed to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find Gu Rong.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo measured Qin Heng's Soul Power at level sixty-four, and Qin Heng explained that his ultimate ice and fire attributes made cultivation slower but his Soul Power denser.

At the Pope Palace, Qin Heng learned that Bibi Dong planned to expand distribution of his cultivation method, and over the following month he trained Ning Chen in cultivation, Soul Tools, and physical conditioning.

• Qin Heng offered Ning Chen a chance to preserve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect by serving him and eventually governing it after Ning Fengzhi's death.
• Bibi Dong ordered Gui Mei to investigate Soul Masters who had leaked the Basic General Meridian Cultivation Method, punish serious offenders, and recover bribes from others.
