After they reunited with Hu Liena and Chen Fan met Bibi Dong, he revealed that he had gained another hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, leaving his teacher astonished.

• Bibi Dong offered Chen Fan a reward, and he asked her to loosen his muscles and bones because he felt tired.
• Chen Fan explained that preparing more than fifty Darkness Marks had consumed his Soul Power and Spiritual Power, so Bibi Dong brought him to her cultivation chamber and began replenishing his energy.

Chen Fan helped Bibi Dong absorb a Darkness Mark, and the Book of Darkness revealed possible evolutions for her Death Spider Queen Martial Soul. He agreed to stay and assist her cultivation after arranging his other affairs, then went to check on Yue Guan’s Immortal Herbs.

• Bibi Dong used much of her Soul Power to help Chen Fan recover, and Chen Fan secretly concealed how little his Soul Power had actually recovered.

• Yue Guan told Chen Fan that the mature Immortal Herbs might be cultivated further by drawing on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Chen Fan gave him permission to experiment in exchange for a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

• Chen Fan assisted Bibi Dong as she cultivated with the Book of Darkness, and she later discovered that her Martial Soul had changed and her power had grown.
• Chen Fan slept on Bibi Dong's legs while she continued cultivating, then woke, ate, and read in the cultivation chamber.
• The system marked Chen Fan's mission complete, increasing his Soul Ring levels and granting another one hundred thousand years to every Soul Ring.

• Tang Yuehua returned to the Clear Sky Sect as the Four Single-Attribute Clans agreed to rejoin, but an eerie voice appeared in her mind during the banquet.

After Bibi Dong completed her evolution, Chen Fan planned a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb Zi Ji’s Dark Power and set the Clear Sky Sect to work on a weapon-production mission. He then encountered Yan, who sought help with his cultivation, and reunited with Xiao Wu and Hu Liena, whose transformations were underway.

• Bibi Dong’s Spider Bone destroyed her robe, and she hurriedly covered Chen Fan’s eyes before dressing and replenishing his Spiritual Power.

• Xiao Wu and Hu Liena returned after more than ten days away, with Hu Liena appearing more sinister after absorbing the Darkness Mark.

• Hu Liena told Bibi Dong that Chen Fan was seeking a Soul Ring, then watched Chen Fan and Xiao Wu depart by carriage.
• Xiao Wu asked about Little Yin during the journey, and Chen Fan said she was cultivating as the carriage headed for Suotuo City in the Balak Kingdom.

Chen Fan and Xiao Wu discovered and harvested a mysterious cold flower beneath a lake before continuing to Suotuo City. There, Chen Fan met Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and gave Zhu Zhuqing a Darkness Mark to improve her absorption of Dark Power.

• Chen Fan and Xiao Wu traveled for several days and arrived in Suotuo City, where they met Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
• Chen Fan placed a Darkness Mark on Zhu Zhuqing's forehead and explained that it would make absorbing Dark Power more beneficial and safer.

After Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong toured Suotuo City, Chen Fan continued searching for clues about the strange flower while Zhu Zhuqing cultivated.

• Chen Fan gave Ning Rongrong the Aromatic Silk Beauty and learned that Shrek Academy was preparing to move to Heaven Dou City, where Zhu Zhuqing would seek her third Soul Ring.

• Dai Mubai accepted Chen Fan's plan and left, intending to involve Oscar and their other companions in his ambitions.

• Back at Shrek Academy, Chen Fan searched books for information about the strange flower while Zhu Zhuqing cultivated with Dark Power from the Book of Darkness.

Chen Fan, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong identified the strange flower as a possible Fragrant Extreme Ice Lotus, though its appearance contradicted the book’s description. Chen Fan set the mystery aside for now and turned his attention back to Zhu Zhuqing, who was nearing a breakthrough.

• Xiao Wu brought Chen Fan three plant books, and he explained Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation to Ning Rongrong while offering to help her grow stronger by devouring the Aromatic Silk Beauty.
• Chen Fan and the girls searched the books for information about his strange flower, and Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu found a drawing labeled Fragrant Extreme Ice Lotus.
• Chen Fan compared the flower with Li Long’s description and noticed its seventy petals and appearance did not match the book’s account of a thirty-petaled white flower.
• Chen Fan learned that Li Long came from the Far North and wondered whether the flower might be an immortal herb, but he put it away until he could investigate further.
• Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong argued over who deserved a reward for finding the entry, and Chen Fan told Ning Rongrong to absorb her immortal herb first.

Ning Rongrong ate the Aromatic Silk Beauty and transformed her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, while Chen Fan continued Zhu Zhuqing’s evolution. The chapter ended with Zhu Zhuqing completing her transformation into a Level thirty Soul Master with a dangerous Netherfire-wielding Netherworld Evil Tiger Martial Soul.

• Zhao Wuji brought back a bruised Yu Xiaogang, and Chen Fan suspected Yan had beaten him after receiving Chen Fan’s order.
• Chen Fan denied to Xiao Wu that he had arranged Yu Xiaogang’s beating, then continued Zhu Zhuqing’s evolution with the Book of Darkness.
• Zhu Zhuqing completed her evolution around three in the morning, reaching Level thirty and gaining the Netherworld Evil Tiger Martial Soul with Netherfire Power.

After Zhu Zhuqing evolved her Martial Soul, she demonstrated her Netherfire Slash, and Chen Fan explained the value of creating Self-Created Soul Skills. Chen Fan then left the others for Auto City, where he considered the Heaven Dou Empire’s refusal to let the Clear Sky Sect settle in Vast Sea City and criticized its neglect of people outside the major cities.

• Zhu Zhuqing’s evolved Netherworld Evil Tiger gained cold Netherfire, and she demonstrated her Third Soul Skill, Netherfire Slash, which froze the area ahead of her.
• Chen Fan praised Zhu Zhuqing’s Soul Skill and explained that she had created it herself by understanding her Martial Soul’s Netherfire power.
• Chen Fan left after learning Yu Xiaogang had recovered, while Yu Xiaogang and the others took Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai to Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City.
• Yu Xiaogang envied the changes to Zhu Zhuqing’s and Ning Rongrong’s Martial Souls, then announced that the group would depart the next day.
• After traveling for more than ten days, Chen Fan and Xiao Wu arrived in Auto City; Chen Fan noted that the Heaven Dou Empire had refused to let the Clear Sky Sect establish itself in Vast Sea City.
• Chen Fan reflected that the Heaven Dou Empire neglected smaller cities and rural children, while Spirit Hall gave people in those places opportunities to awaken their Martial Souls.

Chen Fan arrived at the Clear Sky Sect and told its leaders to worship his new Darkness God Cult, promising power to devoted followers. He left them with instructions to build a military base and produce weapons as part of the sect’s mission.

As the sect began handling its affairs, Chen Fan prepared to leave for the Star Dou Great Forest, while a young disciple prayed to his portrait and hoped for another increase in power.

• Chen Fan gave the Clear Sky Sect one million gold coins and ordered it to establish a military base and forge one hundred thousand weapons.
• Tai Tan asked Chen Fan to let Tang Hao atone through meritorious service, and Chen Fan promised to restore him if the weapons were finished within a month.

After sensing a devout follower’s prayers, Chen Fan traveled to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb Zi Ji’s Dark Power and investigate Di Tian’s power. He reached the forest’s core and confronted Zi Ji as Di Tian arrived, with the region engulfed in darkness.

• Chen Fan sensed an unusually intense prayer from a follower of the Darkness God Cult and considered cultivating him, though he could not locate or contact him.
• Chen Fan entered the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to absorb Zi Ji’s Dark Power and Di Tian’s power without making Di Tian his Soul Ring.
• Chen Fan released his Dark Power in the inner circle, alarming Di Tian, Zi Ji, and other powerful beings.
• Chen Fan reached the core region and found Zi Ji outside her cave; she felt wary of his overwhelming Dark Power.
• Di Tian arrived, and Chen Fan’s black aura had already spread across the entire core region.
