Huang Yun attempted to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace Treasury but was exposed by hidden reconnaissance Soul Masters and surrounded by Imperial Guards led by Ge Long.

• Huang Yun landed on a remote mountain, admitted that Ge Long had outmatched him, and decided to seek another way to obtain the Heart of the Sea God.

After General Ge Long reported that a masked teenage Soul King had infiltrated the Imperial Treasury, Xue Ye ordered tighter security and a covert investigation. Xue Ye suspected the intruder might have targeted an ancestral azure treasure and prepared to recruit or kill him if found.

• Ge Long told Xue Ye that a masked, lightning-wielding intruder had escaped after fighting him near the Treasury.
• Ge Long described the intruder as a roughly twelve- or thirteen-year-old Soul King with unusual skills and a powerful Soul Tool.

• Xue Ye ordered increased Treasury security, an Imperial Intelligence Bureau investigation, and strict secrecy about the breach.

• Xue Ye wondered whether the intruder had come for the azure heirloom kept deep in the Treasury.

• Xue Ye visited the Treasury at night and studied the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, wondering whether it had been the masked boy’s target.
• Xue Ye decided the boy’s knowledge of the treasure could benefit the Heaven Dou Empire and planned to capture and recruit him, killing him only as a last resort.

• Xue Ye ordered Ge Long to move the real Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to a secret location and replace it with an imitation.

• Huang Yun observed Heaven Dou City from outside and learned that the palace would display a supposedly azure national treasure during the Lantern Festival.
• Huang Yun suspected Xue Ye was using the display as bait but planned to exploit the festival crowds if the lantern was genuine.
• Huang Yun entered Heaven Dou City in disguise and used his Lightning Falcon Eyes to survey the Imperial Way and the covered lantern.
• Over the next two days, Huang Yun detected hidden Soul Masters, including a likely Soul Douluo, and assessed the palace defenses.
• Huang Yun decided he would use his Lightning Falcon Eyes to check whether the lantern was real before acting, and waited for the festival.

Huang Yun attended the Heaven Dou Lantern Festival in disguise and discovered that the displayed Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was a fake and that Xue Ye had prepared a trap. After evading Qian Renxue’s notice, he left the palace district and decided to investigate the Treasury while its defenders might be focused on the festival.

• Huang Yun used his Lightning Falcon Eyes to identify the lantern as a fake and detect Soul Saint- and Soul Douluo-level guards around the Imperial Way.
• Huang Yun spotted Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and recognized her as Qian Renxue, who was searching the crowd for the palace intruder.

• Huang Yun concluded that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud remained in the Treasury and that the festival trap revealed the defenses gathered there.
• Huang Yun decided to return and check whether the Treasury was less guarded while Xue Ye’s forces watched the festival.

Huang Yun returned to the treasury to steal the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, where an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo intercepted his Clone and offered him a place in the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Huang Yun refused and appeared to be struck down, but the body the marshal pierced shattered into blue-white motes.

• Huang Yun scouted the treasury and found its defenses reduced because Xue Ye had moved most forces to the Lantern Festival.
• Huang Yun sent a Clone into the treasury to take the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but a golden spear stopped it.

• Huang Yun stepped out of hiding and refused the offer, saying he would not be anyone's dog.
• The marshal attacked with his first Soul Skill, and his spear pierced Huang Yun, whose body shattered into blue-white motes.

• Huang Yun’s Clones distracted the armored marshal, and one Teleported away with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
• The armored marshal discovered the theft and ordered the guards and flying Soul Master corps to seal the palace and hunt for the intruder.
• Huang Yun evaded pursuit by fleeing through the northern imperial garden and over the palace wall.
• Huang Yun reached a secluded forest, confirmed he had the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and stored it in his storage ring.
