• Di Tian reported that the Far North’s Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and Titan Snow Demon King had joined their alliance and received Humanoid Transformation Pills.
• Medicine Elder argued that Phoenix King should study in the human world to gain knowledge and recruit talent, while Di Tian questioned whether Star Dou Forest could prepare him instead.
• Phoenix King considered recruiting Spirit Hall and hidden factions, and imagined taking divine positions from Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils.

• Medicine Elder told Phoenix King that he would need to cultivate a martial soul and soul rings before he could perceive Battle Qi, and criticized Douluo Continent’s reliance on hunting Soul Beasts.
• Medicine Elder explained that martial soul quality largely determined a human’s cultivation potential, leaving most people with weak or trash martial souls.

• The Phoenix King wondered why Gu Yuena was pursuing him so openly and decided not to reveal that he was a transmigrator.

Medicine Elder adjusted Phoenix King's Baji Fist training and offered him two cultivation techniques after explaining that the Douluo Continent lacked the Heavenly Flames needed for the Flame Mantra. Phoenix King learned that he was born years before Tang San and resolved to grow strong enough to stop him and oppose the Divine Realm.

• Gu Yuena encouraged Phoenix King to grow, and Medicine Elder told him to practice an improved Baji Fist suited to his developing body.
• Phoenix King asked about learning the Flame Mantra, but Medicine Elder and Gu Yuena explained that the Douluo Continent had no Heavenly Flames.
• Medicine Elder offered Phoenix King the Three-Flower Fire Gathering Technique and the resource-intensive Fire Building Technique, and Phoenix King said he wanted to become a great alchemist.
• Phoenix King asked Di Tian for the year and learned it was 2624 in the Douluo Calendar, about ten years before Tang San's birth.
• Phoenix King decided to get stronger quickly so he could cripple Tang San before he became a god, and he considered how the Star Dou Forest's Ferocious Beasts could handle Tang Hao.

Medicine Elder explained the Fire Building Technique and Three-Flower Fire Gathering Technique to the Phoenix King, who weighed their resource costs and benefits before choosing a future cultivation technique. Medicine Elder then mentioned that he had another, very difficult technique, leaving the Phoenix King to consider his options.

• Di Tian recalled that a human sect's martial souls could release formations, and Medicine Elder criticized Douluo Continent's dependence on martial souls.
• Medicine Elder described how he had switched from the resource-intensive Fire Building Technique to the difficult but foundation-building Three-Flower Fire Gathering Technique.

• Medicine Elder explained the Fire Building Technique's resource demands and the Three-Flower Fire Gathering Technique's slow, arduous progress and strong breakthroughs.
• Medicine Elder told the Phoenix King that he had another cultivation technique, but warned that it was very difficult.

Medicine Elder showed Phoenix King an Earth-rank cultivation technique and its matching staff technique, explaining their difficulty and the power they could offer. Though the techniques could benefit from rare flames, Medicine Elder assured Gu Yuena and Di Tian that artificial flames were possible, and said Phoenix King should focus on building his foundation first.

• Medicine Elder explained that artificial flames and imitation Heavenly Flames could be created, while Di Tian offered to gather fire-attributed Magical Beasts.
• Medicine Elder told Di Tian to wait and said Phoenix King should build a solid foundation before they made artificial flames.

Gu Yuena claimed she had dreamed of an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest and asked Di Tian and Medicine Elder to investigate it with her. Phoenix King recognized that the location could give Tang San the Immortal Herbs he needed, and worried that finding it would preserve Tang San’s future.

• Medicine Elder told Phoenix King he would provide an artificial flame after Phoenix King reached the Dou Zhe level.

• Phoenix King realized the well’s Immortal Herbs could help Tang San become a god and feared that Gu Yuena’s search could protect Tang San’s future.

Reborn Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan decided to keep the Immortal Herbs and recruit the Breaking Clan rather than trust Tang San. As they prepared to leave, Di Tian arrived and claimed the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for his own side.

• Di Tian set out for Sunset Forest to investigate.
• Dugu Yan told Dugu Bo that Tang San’s poison treatment had ultimately led to her death and accused him of wanting the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for himself.
• Dugu Yan suggested they use their Immortal Herbs to evolve their Martial Souls and recruit the Breaking Clan.
• Dugu Bo agreed to seek out Yang Wudi and left with Dugu Yan.
• Di Tian confronted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, ordered them to leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and threatened their lives.

Di Tian overwhelmed Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then spared them only after binding them to serve the Soul Beasts. He entered the spring, sensing that the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings might be inside.

• Dugu Bo tried to persuade Di Tian to leave the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well alone, but Di Tian dismissed his appeal and revealed his immense strength.
• Di Tian’s aura pressed Dugu Yan to the ground, and Dugu Bo realized Di Tian was a Demigod-level Soul Beast.
• Dugu Bo begged Di Tian to spare Dugu Yan and offered his poison abilities in exchange for their lives.
• Di Tian agreed to spare Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan if they swore to serve the Soul Beasts for the rest of their lives, and both took the oath.
• Di Tian entered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well after sensing his uncle and aunt, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, inside.

Di Tian found the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ remains beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and learned about the dragon race’s decline. Gu Yuena, Medicine Elder, and the Phoenix King set out to move the well to Star Dou Forest, while Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were ordered to go with Di Tian.

• Di Tian found the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings’ souls beneath the spring and told them that only he, Zi JI, and their lord remained of the dragon race.
• The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings learned about Medicine Elder and the Phoenix King, then entered Di Tian’s spiritual world and asked him to tell the Silver Dragon King to move the well.
• Di Tian told the Silver Dragon King that he had taken Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan as slaves, and she ordered him to keep them and prepare for her arrival.
• Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan worried about their fate until Di Tian ordered them to accompany him to Star Dou Forest and promised to spare them if they obeyed.
• Gu Yuena, Medicine Elder, and the Phoenix King set off to move the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, hoping to keep it from humans and deprive Tang San of the Immortal Herbs.

Medicine Elder and the Soul Beasts moved the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to Star Dou Forest, then Medicine Elder recruited Dugu Yan for experiments on how Soul Rings formed. Dugu Yan agreed to cooperate in exchange for protection for herself and Dugu Bo, and Medicine Elder began examining her Soul Rings.

• Medicine Elder judged the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well modest compared with treasures from Dou Qi Continent, while Gu Yuena decided to move it before humans could claim it.
• Phoenix King asked Medicine Elder what to do with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, and Medicine Elder allowed them to stay because they might be useful.

• Dugu Yan agreed to cooperate if Medicine Elder protected her and Dugu Bo, then showed him her two low-age Yellow Soul Rings for examination.

The Phoenix King questioned Dugu Yan about her birth year and realized she had been born earlier than she was in her previous life. He then asked Medicine Elder to investigate Dugu Yan’s hereditary poison, hoping to cure her and secure the Dugu Family’s loyalty.

• The Phoenix King brought fruit while Medicine Elder explained his theory that Soul Rings came from Soul Beast inner cores and could potentially be obtained without killing the beasts.
• The Phoenix King asked Dugu Yan what year she was born, and her answer made him realize she had arrived earlier than the original timeline suggested.
• The Phoenix King asked Medicine Elder whether he could use the Immortal Herbs to make better pills and treat Dugu Yan’s poisoning.

• Medicine Elder recognized that the Dugu Family’s poison problem needed investigation, while the Phoenix King admitted he wanted to cure Dugu Yan and gain the family as subordinates.

Medicine Elder explained that the Dugu family’s inherited poison likely came from an ancestor’s incompatible poisonous Soul Ring rather than their Martial Soul itself. He offered to remove the poison with his Heavenly Flames, leaving Dugu Yan willing to cooperate and hoping her grandfather could be treated too.

• Dugu Yan asked why Medicine Elder had no feet, and he explained that he was a remnant soul who had died long ago.
• Medicine Elder argued that the Dugu family’s poison could not have been present since their Martial Soul first appeared, since the family had survived for hundreds of years.
• Medicine Elder proposed that an ancestor’s poisonous Soul Ring had clashed with the family’s Martial Soul and caused poison to accumulate and pass down through generations.
• Medicine Elder offered to use his Heavenly Flames to remove Dugu Yan’s poison if she and her family cooperated.
• Dugu Yan asked whether Medicine Elder could also help her grandfather, and he assured her he would treat the Titled Douluo as well.

Phoenix King asked Snow Empress and Ice Empress for news from the human world and heard that Yu Xiaogang had been kicked out of Spirit Hall's library. The timing confused him because Yu Xiaogang should have left Spirit Hall four years earlier, leaving him to wonder what had happened.

Spirit Hall’s Titled Douluo elders planned to prevent Tang San from threatening them again, even considering stopping his birth by killing his mother, Ah Yin. Qian Daoliu agreed to abandon some of his chivalrous principles and reconsider Qian Renxue’s upbringing and the Nation-Stealing Plan.
