Jiang Yue ambushed an Evil Soul Master and learned that the Holy Spirit Cult was collecting Wraiths for a Death God Tower while trying to restore Slaughter City as their stronghold.

• A short Evil Soul Master arrived at a tavern with a cart of corpses, found his accomplice dead, and was attacked by Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue planned to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to obtain Immortal Herbs and strengthen his path toward godhood, deciding to recruit the Ice Empress as a Protector before seeking the Snow Empress. Meanwhile, Di Tian prepared the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to transform and enter the human world for her Destiny Tribulation.

• Jiang Yue resolved to recover the villagers' souls from the Holy Spirit Cult and focused on improving his combat power with his Bat Wing.

• Di Tian asked Bi Ji about the items gathered from humans who had entered the forest, then planned to give the Three-Eyed Golden Lion more information about the human world after her transformation.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion took human form as Di Qiu'er while Shrek's teams investigated an Evil Soul Master gang in the Bright Dipper Mountain Range.

• Xuan Zi found the devastated cave, and Dai Yaoheng realized that destroying Yao Haoxuan's corpse had prevented further casualties from Corpse Explosion.

• The elders reproached Xuan Zi and worried about the tournament, while Mu En stayed silent as the room quieted around him.

Mu En arranged for the Outer Court students to support Bei Bei’s tournament team while investigating Jiang Yue’s unexplained absence. In Heaven Dou City, Jiang Yue discovered someone was following him and cornered the cloaked pursuer at swordpoint.

• The Infernal Delicate Apricot formed a fire dragon from the spring water and sent it toward Jiang Yue and Di Qiu'er.
• Jiang Yue used his soul skills to redirect the attack and disrupt the two herbs, then led Di Qiu'er away from the springs toward the vegetation.

Jiang Yue and Di Qiu'er subdued the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, obtained Tang San’s medicinal-herb booklet, and consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew to strengthen their Mental Power.

• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could not intervene, while Jiang Yue told Big Bug to leave the problem to him.

Meanwhile, Jing Hongchen arranged for Meng Hongchen to absorb an Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone and planned to investigate the stolen God-Sealing Platform, but Meng suddenly cried out in pain.

• Jiang Yue used his Soul Power and Mental Power to balance the ice and fire within his body until Electrolux intervened and stabilized them.

• Jing Hongchen held Meng Hongchen and vowed to save her and make the Star Luo Imperial Family pay for what had happened.
