He declined to join the upcoming tournament and hurried back to his courtyard to see his fiancée.

• Mu Tianyi left the chamber and rushed back to his courtyard, anxious to see his fiancée after his long absence.

Mu Tianyi returned to Shrek’s Outer Court to meet the other six monsters and arrange the team before leaving for training. He appointed Gongyang Mo to command in his absence, then entered the poisonous Sunset Forest on his way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

• Mu Tianyi turned to the two guardian herbs and asked them for a favor.

Mu Tianyi absorbed the two origin cores and strengthened his body and Bright Sacred Dragon martial soul with the powers of ice and fire. He descended to the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, found the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ sleeping souls and two soul bones, and prepared to take them away before absorbing them.

• Mu Tianyi drew the Water and Fire Dragon King spirit bones from his martial soul space and fused them simultaneously, using his recent body tempering and divine powers to withstand their opposing forces.

• Mu Tianyi broke through the level-sixty Soul Power threshold and began considering where to go next after his gains in Sunset Forest.

• Mu Tianyi concluded that he had gained enough from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and needed to make arrangements rather than keep searching for more.

• Mu Tianyi entered his Mimicry Cultivation Room and was pulled into the Golden Other-Dimension as the Golden Ancient Tree released a powerful golden light and life aura.

Zhang Lexuan’s treasures raised her to level seventy and evolved her Silver Moon martial soul, while Mu Tianyi purified the Golden Ancient Tree by erasing Ah Yin’s divine avatar.

Tang San discovered his scheme had been severed, while the God King of Destruction prepared to confront him; Mu Tianyi emerged from the tree to find Mu En waiting.

• Mu Tianyi fused completely with the Golden Ancient Tree, unlocked the Life Domain, and received the Life God’s Second Trial rewards, including a God-Bestowed Soul Ring.

• Mu Tianyi left the Golden Ancient Tree after stabilizing his cultivation and found Xuan Zu Mu En waiting in the corridor.

• Mu En sensed that Mu Tianyi's strength and presence were concealed beyond even his perception, and Mu Tianyi mentioned his recent breakthrough, soul rings, and soul bones.
• Mu En invited Mu Tianyi to spar in the Sea God Island arena, where they both suppressed their Soul Power to around level seventy.
• Mu Tianyi summoned his Bright Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and used Radiant Dragon Body and Sacred Dragon Rending Sky Claw, surprising Mu En with the claw's burning Light Trace effect.
• Mu Tianyi activated Dragon Tree Symbiosis and combined Dawn Dragon Roar with Light Wing Judgment Array, while the Golden Ancient Tree roots absorbed the attacks' afterglow and restored his strength.

Mu Tianyi drew with Mu En by surviving a fatal strike with his Ancient Dragon Substitute, then learned that Zhang Lexuan had broken through level seventy and evolved her Silver Moon martial soul.
