• Mu Tianyi did not bid and continued waiting for the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.

He and Mu En traveled to the Jingyang Mountain Range, where they found an isolated herd of Golden Unicorns and set out to locate its possibly hundred-thousand-year-old leader.

• Tang Ya introduced herself to Mu Tianyi, who walked with her around the Tang Sect and gave her a Shrek Supervisory Corps summons for emergencies.

• On the seventeenth day, Mu En showed Mu Tianyi an isolated valley containing a gold deposit and a herd of ten-thousand-year Golden Unicorns.
• Mu En concluded that the herd likely had a hundred-thousand-year Star-Glory Unicorn leader and led Mu Tianyi deeper into the valley to find it.

• Mu Tianyi watched the bloodied Star-Glory Unicorn and decided he wanted its bloodline-activating soul skill.

Mu Tianyi found that the Star-Glory Unicorn's broken horn had become a rare External Soul Bone, and he and Mu En left the valley without absorbing the unicorn's ordinary soul bone. On their way out of the Jingyang Mountain Range, they discovered four Evil Soul Masters draining blood from Soul Beasts, and Mu En confronted them.

• Mu En chose Elder Zhuang’s faster, more painful treatment, and Elder Zhuang infused him with Life Gold using his Tree of Life Martial Soul.

• Mu En offered Xuan Zi the choice of entering seclusion to reach Rank 99 or starting a family to preserve the Godly Taotie Bull Martial Soul bloodline.

• Golden light erupted as Mu Tianyi began absorbing the soul bone.
