After three years of forced cultivation, Yu Xiaogang’s strength had gradually improved, while Yu Mingxiao encountered Liu Erlong and her mother in the clan.

Yu Mingxiao accompanied Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong to her martial soul awakening, where Liu Erlong awakened a Fire Dragon martial soul with Innate Soul Power Rank 8.5 and chose to remain in the sect. Yu Yuanzhen then told Yu Mingxiao that the Water Clan had invited him to explore ruins in the Far North.

• Yu Yuanzhen told Yu Mingxiao that the Water Clan had found ruins in the Far North and wanted him to explore them.

Yu Mingxiao traveled with Fourth Elder Yu Luocheng to the Far North to explore a ruin with the Water Clan. They found a massive sealed gate that Shui Rouyun could not open, and Yu Luocheng’s lightning attack also failed to damage it.

• Yu Yuanzhen assigned Yu Luocheng to escort Yu Mingxiao to the Far North after Yu Mingxiao accepted Shui Rouyun’s invitation.
• Yu Luocheng and Yu Mingxiao traveled to the Far North, where Shui Hang met them and led them to a snow-covered mountain.

• Shui Rouyun explained that the gate had resisted every attempt to open it or break through it.
• Yu Luocheng struck the gate with several bolts of lightning, but it remained intact apart from a few scorch marks.

Yu Mingxiao opened the sealed ruin by reflecting light into its gemstone and led the group inside, where they gathered Dragon Blood Vines. At a golden light door, only Yu Mingxiao could pass through, revealing a dried dragon corpse and a floating battle saber.

• Yu Mingxiao used a small mirror to reflect light onto the gemstone, opening the stone door and its golden vortex.

• Yu Mingxiao found a massive dried dragon corpse and a dark crimson battle saber floating above its bones.

Yu Mingxiao claimed the Dragon-Slaying Blade, gained a second Martial Soul, and found Stone Marrow in the dragon’s nest. He reunited with the others and led them out of the secret realm before it could collapse.

• Yu Mingxiao touched the Dragon-Slaying Blade and saw memories of its creation, its gift to the Radiant Dragon King, and its journey to the Far North.
• The Dragon-Slaying Blade entered Yu Mingxiao’s Sea of Spirit, acknowledged him as its master, and gave him a portion of its origin as a second Martial Soul.
• Fusing with the blade’s origin raised Yu Mingxiao’s Soul Power Level from 37 to 40, and he found Stone Marrow while searching the nest.
• Yu Luocheng, Shui Rouyun, and Shui Xiwei worried outside the light gate until Yu Mingxiao returned safely.
• Yu Mingxiao told the group there were no more opportunities inside and led them toward the exit as the secret realm’s energy grew unstable.

Yu Mingxiao returned from the ruins with Shui Xiwei and revealed his newly acquired Dragon-Slaying Blade Martial Soul to Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luocheng. After Yu Yuanzhen warned him about the risks of Twin Martial Souls, Mingxiao asked his father to accompany him to the Star Dou Great Forest in three days to hunt for Soul Rings.

• Shui Rouyun arranged for Shui Xiwei to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Yu Mingxiao, and the group divided the Dragon Blood Vines equally before leaving the Far North.
• Yu Mingxiao and Yu Luocheng reported their expedition to Yu Yuanzhen, who noticed that Mingxiao had reached Soul Power Level 40.
• Yu Mingxiao summoned the Dragon-Slaying Blade Martial Soul and explained that it was a divine artifact with strong restraining power over the Dragon Clan.
• Yu Yuanzhen warned Mingxiao not to attach Soul Rings to his second Martial Soul because Twin Martial Soul cultivators could explode during cultivation.
• Yu Mingxiao asked Yu Yuanzhen to accompany him to the Star Dou Great Forest in three days, while keeping his Stone Marrow secret because he did not want Yu Xiaogang to receive any.

Yu Mingxiao prepared to hunt for a Soul Ring while Yu Xiaogang grew bitter over his brother’s talent and secretly vowed revenge. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Mingxiao found a thirteen-thousand-year-old Jade Light Dragon Deer and insisted on fighting it himself for his fourth Soul Ring.

• Yu Mingxiao told Shui Xiwei he had broken through to level forty and was too busy cultivating to show her around the clan.
• Three years into his training, Yu Xiaogang saw Yu Mingxiao and Yu Yuanzhen leave for the Star Dou Great Forest, then endured another beating from his guards and resolved to make them pay once he grew stronger.
• Yu Mingxiao and Yu Yuanzhen searched the forest for a suitable Soul Beast for a day without success.
• The next day, Yu Mingxiao spotted a Jade Light Dragon Deer with pure Radiant Dragon Clan blood and asked to use its ten-thousand-year Soul Ring.
• Despite Yu Yuanzhen’s warning about the risks of Soul Shock, Yu Mingxiao said his physique and mental power could withstand the ring and offered to kill the deer with his Dragon-Slaying Blade.

Yu Mingxiao killed a Jade Light Dragon Deer, absorbed its ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, and gained a powerful fourth Soul Skill. At the Lake of Life, Di Tian learned that the Dragon-Slaying Blade had appeared and watched as his lord sent an avatar to investigate.

• Yu Mingxiao used Soul Shock and Radiant Dragon Fury against the Jade Light Dragon Deer, then killed it with the Dragon-Slaying Blade.
• Yu Mingxiao absorbed the Jade Light Dragon Deer's ten-thousand-year Soul Ring while Yu Yuanzhen stood guard; the Dragon-Slaying Blade destroyed the beast's remnant soul in his Sea of Spirit.
• After seven hours, Yu Mingxiao reached Soul Power Level 43 and gained the fourth Soul Skill, Yaoguang Sacred Healing, which granted control immunity, self-healing, and powerful enhancements.
• Yu Yuanzhen praised the soul skill and urged Yu Mingxiao to return to the sect before night made the Star Dou Great Forest more dangerous.
• At the Lake of Life, Di Tian told his awakened lord that the Dragon-Slaying Blade's aura had been sensed, and his lord sent out an avatar to investigate.

The Silver Dragon King sent a silver-haired avatar named Na'er to the human world, where she awakened the Silver Dragon Spear with Innate Full Soul Power and joined the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Mingxiao recognized her as Gu Yuena and worried that she had come for the Dragon-Slaying Blade.

• The Silver Dragon King refused Di Tian's offer to search for the Dragon-Slaying Blade and sent a silver-haired avatar to the human world as Na'er.
• Yu Luocheng awakened the children of Mang Village and discovered that Na'er's Martial Soul was the Silver Dragon Spear and that she had Innate Full Soul Power.
• Yu Luocheng brought Na'er to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, where Yu Yuanzhen exceptionally made her a direct-line disciple.
• Yu Mingxiao learned about Na'er, suspected she was the Silver Dragon King and had come for the Dragon-Slaying Blade, and asked to meet her.
• Na'er arrived at the Sect Master Mansion, and Yu Mingxiao recognized her as Gu Yuena.

Na'er denied knowing about the Dragon-Slaying Blade or being the Silver Dragon King, and Yu Mingxiao let her move into his house while suspecting she had amnesia. A year later, Yu Xiaogang finally reached level ten after four years of training, then set off with three outer disciples to hunt a Soul Ring before Yu Yuanzhen could stop him.

• Yu Mingxiao questioned Na'er about the Dragon-Slaying Blade and her identity, but she said she was Na'er and seemed to have lost her memory.
• Na'er asked to live with Yu Mingxiao, and he agreed to take her in.
• After three days in seclusion, Yu Xiaogang broke through level ten and demanded that Yu Yuanzhen take him to hunt a Soul Ring.
• Yu Yuanzhen refused to go immediately and offered to send a clan elder, so Yu Xiaogang left in a huff.
• Yu Xiaogang recruited three outer disciples and secretly headed for the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Soul Ring.
• After learning Yu Xiaogang had left, Yu Yuanzhen decided to go to the Star Dou Great Forest himself, while Yu Mingxiao suspected Yu Xiaogang's black-furred Luo Sanpao was not a degenerated Radiant Sacred Dragon.

Yu Xiaogang entered the Star Dou Great Forest seeking a Golden Earth Dragon soul ring, while Yu Yuanzhen secretly followed and watched his behavior. At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Na'er recovered her memories as Gu Yuena, recognized the Dragon-Slaying Blade's aura on Yu Mingxiao, and decided to stay near him because he seemed unbound by fate.

• Yu Xiaogang and his companions reached the Star Dou Great Forest, and he ordered them to find a Golden Earth Dragon for his soul ring.
• Yu Yuanzhen secretly watched Yu Xiaogang threaten his companions into searching and angrily called him a rebellious son.
• Na'er woke from a nap with her memories restored and realized she was the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, searching for the Dragon-Slaying Blade.
• Na'er sensed the Dragon-Slaying Blade on Yu Mingxiao but chose not to take it from him, then decided to stay and investigate why he was unbound by fate.
• Na'er summoned Di Tian and told him she had found the Dragon-Slaying Blade on a human who lay outside the world's destined course.

Yu Xiaogang absorbed a Light Lizard Dragon Soul Ring that clashed with his Martial Soul, damaging his cultivation foundation and giving him an embarrassing first Soul Skill. After the clan mocked him, he learned he would need at least half a year to recover, while Yu Mingxiao noticed that his Soul Skill differed from the original work.

• Na'er told Di Tian she would stay beside the human who had claimed the Dragon-Slaying Blade, and Di Tian left to inform the main body.
• After failing to find a Golden Earth Dragon, Yu Xiaogang chose a Light Lizard Dragon and absorbed its roughly 350-year Soul Ring.

• Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao and used his first Soul Skill, farting a foul burst of light at the surrounding disciples.
• The disciples spread news of Yu Xiaogang's Soul Skill throughout the clan, and a healing-type Soul Master told him he needed at least half a year to recover.
• Yu Mingxiao heard about the Soul Skill and realized it differed from the original work.

Yu Mingxiao decided to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to train at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while Gu Yuena agreed to support Na'er's effort to befriend him. He shook off the clan members secretly sent to protect him and continued toward his destination.

• After Yu Mingxiao defeated a deacon in the clan's Soul Fighting Arena, Na'er asked whether he would miss her if she left, and he reassured her that he would.
• Di Tian reported Na'er's message to Gu Yuena, who ordered him to maintain contact with her incarnation and offer Yu Mingxiao Soul Rings to support their friendship.
• Yu Mingxiao told Yu Yuanzhen he wanted to travel alone for training, and Yu Yuanzhen agreed while secretly arranging for experts to follow and protect him.
• Yu Mingxiao packed, told Na'er not to worry, and set out for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, intending to keep its Immortal Herbs from Yu Xiaogang.
• Yu Mingxiao noticed the clan disciples following him, used a crowded market and his External Soul Bone to conceal his aura, and escaped them in a narrow alley.

Yu Mingxiao encountered Dugu Bo while searching Sunset Forest for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then helped him defeat a Shakya Giant Serpent. After Yu Mingxiao offered to cure Dugu Bo’s family poison in exchange for joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Dugu Bo agreed as Yu Mingxiao walked away.

After they found the poisonous miasma surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a powerful Medusa appeared, and Yu Mingxiao left Dugu Bo to draw it away while he searched for the herbs.

• Dugu Bo agreed to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, hoping Yu Mingxiao could cure the Dugu Family’s poison.

• Yu Mingxiao used Yaoguang Sacred Healing to enter the poisonous miasma with Dugu Bo and spotted a hill near the hidden valley.
• A sixty-thousand-year Medusa emerged from a cave, and Yu Mingxiao told Dugu Bo to lure it away while he stayed behind to find the herbs.

Yu Mingxiao used Dugu Bo to lure away a Medusa Soul Beast and reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where he harvested its mature Immortal Herbs. After absorbing the spring’s medicinal power and the Dragon Kings’ remaining origin aura, he gained true Ultimate Light and the potential to transform his Radiant Sacred Dragon into the Radiant Dragon King; he then considered which final Immortal Herb to consume.

• Dugu Bo provoked the Medusa Soul Beast with poisonous mist and drew it away while Yu Mingxiao concealed himself with the Prajna Ghost Mask.

• After waking from the medicinal effects, Yu Mingxiao considered the Aromatic Silk Beauty as his final Immortal Herb and weighed its benefits against the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

Yu Mingxiao defeated a Medusa Soul Beast after leaving the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, claimed its Spirit Bone, and reached Dugu Bo with an Earth Dragon Golden Melon that could cure his poison. The chapter ended with Dugu Bo eagerly holding the melon and asking whether it could truly heal him.

• Yu Mingxiao refined the Aromatic Silk Beauty, raised his Soul Power to level 50, and considered seeking the Dragon Tomb to transform his Martial Soul.
• Yu Mingxiao filled a jade bottle with Yin Yang Spring Water and used it to empower his Dragon-Slaying Blade before confronting the Medusa Soul Beast.

• A week later, Yu Mingxiao returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin, and Yu Yuanzhen scolded him before hearing his explanation.

Yu Mingxiao told Yu Yuanzhen about the Immortal Herbs he had found and gave him Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, which raised Yu Yuanzhen to level ninety-three. Yu Yuanzhen then explained that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would host the Three Sects Grand Assembly in two years, where Yu Mingxiao could represent the sect.
