The major powers investigated Spirit Hall’s public apology to the Blacksmith Association, while Spirit Hall began cooperating with Lou Gao on a Soul-Gathering Array Disk. After completing two years of trials in Slaughter City, Bibi Dong returned toward Spirit City as a golden pillar of light erupted from the Angel Temple.

• Xue Ye, the Star Luo Emperor, and leaders of other factions ordered their people to monitor Gengxin City and the Blacksmith Association.

Bibi Dong returned from Slaughter City at the level-eighty bottleneck as Qian Daoliu completed the evolution of his six-winged angel martial soul. A system mission then sent Qian Daoliu to hunt a ninety-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor, but he first asked the Enshrinements to report what had happened during his six years in seclusion.

• Bibi Dong felt her soul power press against the level-eighty bottleneck and saw a golden pillar of light rise from the Worship Hall.

After six years in seclusion, Qian Daoliu learned about Spirit Hall’s affairs and planned a Star Dou Forest trip to help Bibi Dong find a soul ring and break through to Soul Douluo. Bibi Dong returned from Slaughter City as Spirit Hall’s rivals reacted cautiously to Qian Daoliu’s emergence, while its senior figures gathered at the training grounds.

• Golden Crocodile told Qian Daoliu that Lou Gao had completed the forging for the Soul-Gathering Array Disk, become a Level 7 Soul Engineer, and still wanted to meet him before joining Spirit Hall.
• Golden Crocodile explained that Bibi Dong had entered Slaughter City four years earlier and had completed her trials, while Xiao Wu and her mother had lived peacefully in Spirit City.
• Qian Daoliu decided to visit Star Dou Forest with Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, and her mother, and ordered Spirit Hall to finish the first Soul-Gathering Array Disk before he returned.
• Golden Crocodile reported that the empires and major sects were wary of Spirit Hall, and asked Qian Daoliu for instruction after his Angel Martial Soul evolved.
• Bibi Dong returned toward Spirit City at level eighty, while Xue Ye recalled his spies and the Star Luo Emperor ordered his army to withdraw and avoid provoking Spirit Hall.
• Spirit Hall’s senior figures gathered at the training grounds.

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile began a fierce spar in Spirit Hall’s Training Grounds, displaying their formidable strength before the assembled elders and guests. They activated their Martial Soul Avatars as the battle reached its peak, while the barrier around the grounds struggled to contain their power.

• Qian Daoliu welcomed the gathered Spirit Hall members and challenged Golden Crocodile to a spar, asking the spectators to witness Spirit Hall’s might.

• Qian Daoliu ordered the Training Grounds rebuilt and sent everyone back to their duties.

News of Qian Daoliu's Quasi-God breakthrough and Golden Crocodile's rise to level 99 alarmed the continent's major powers, prompting them to strengthen defenses and consider alliances. Bibi Dong returned from Slaughter City, received Qian Daoliu's help to ease her lingering killing aura, and was told to accompany him to the Star Dou Great Forest in three days.

• Xue Ye ordered Heaven Dou's border garrisons to remain alert and warned against provoking Spirit Hall.

Qian Xunji brought Qian Daoliu a letter from Chen Jianjun revealing that Tang Hao was accompanied by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form. They suspected Chen Jianjun wanted Spirit Hall to act against Tang Hao, but had not yet decided how to respond.

• Qian Xunji received a discreet letter marked with Chen Jianjun’s Seven Kill Sword emblem.
• Qian Xunji took the letter to Qian Daoliu at the Worship Hall and told him it revealed Tang Hao’s companion was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form.
• Qian Xunji questioned why Chen Jianjun had given Spirit Hall the intelligence instead of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Seven Killings Sect.
• Qian Daoliu reasoned that Chen Jianjun believed Spirit Hall had the strength to seize the soul beast and might be using them to eliminate Tang Hao.
• Qian Xunji asked Qian Daoliu how they should respond to the information.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji discussed the report of Tang Hao living with a transformed hundred-thousand-year soul beast and planned Bibi Dong’s next soul ring. Gui Mei set out to investigate the Sunset Forest, while Qian Daoliu also urged Qian Xunji to marry and continue the Qian family line.

• Qian Daoliu told Qian Xunji to verify the report about Tang Hao and the transformed soul beast without provoking them.
• Qian Daoliu said Bibi Dong would hunt a ninety-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor in the Star Dou Great Forest for her eighth soul ring.
• Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu agreed that trying to capture the hundred-thousand-year soul beast would be too risky.
• Qian Daoliu pressed Qian Xunji to find a wife, but Qian Xunji asked to handle his marriage himself.
• Qian Xunji ordered Gui Mei to investigate Tang Hao and the woman in the Sunset Forest, and Gui Mei departed immediately.

Qian Daoliu used a lucky draw to obtain Sacred Dragon Essence Blood and began hatching the Radiant Sacred Dragon Egg in the Angel Temple. In the God Realm, the Asura God chose Tang San as his successor and plotted to use the Angel God's remaining power to destroy the angel lineage.

• Qian Daoliu drew Sacred Dragon Essence Blood and placed the Radiant Sacred Dragon Egg on his meditation cushion.
• Qian Daoliu poured the essence blood over the egg, which absorbed the Angel Temple's divine power and began hatching.
• The Asura God watched Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Grass woman through a water mirror, then identified Tang San as a suitable successor.
• The Asura God sent Sword Energy into the mirror showing Tang San and prepared to arrange his reincarnation.
• The Asura God revealed that he and the Rakshasa God had killed the Angel God, and planned to make Tang San absorb her remaining power.
• The Asura God found that the Angel God's lingering divine power still shielded the Worship Hall and vowed to make it witness the angel lineage's destruction.

Asura God searched for a suitable partner for Qian Xunji so Angel God's divine soul could eventually reincarnate through his descendants. He settled on Bibi Dong as the strongest candidate but found that she and Qian Xunji regarded each other only as fellow disciples, so he planned to create more chances for them to interact.

• Asura God examined Qian Xunji's life and decided he needed to find him a partner before arranging Angel God's reincarnation.
• Asura God rejected Elder Lingyuan, Hu Yaya, and other Spirit Hall women because their talent, compatibility, or standing was unsuitable.
• Asura God chose Bibi Dong as a promising match for Qian Xunji because of her twin martial souls, status, and shared history with him.
• Asura God saw that Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong treated each other like siblings and had no romantic interest in one another.
• Asura God decided not to force the marriage but planned to give Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong more opportunities to interact.

Qian Daoliu learned that Asura God’s divine consciousness had probed the Worship Hall, while Spirit Hall’s inner circle marveled at the Radiant Sacred Dragon Egg. He then traveled with Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu’s Mother to the Star Dou Great Forest, where they reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming and prepared to hunt the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor.

• The Chaos Bell told Qian Daoliu that a strand of divine consciousness had searched the Worship Hall but failed to see inside, and Qian Daoliu suspected Asura God was responsible.
• Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji, Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu’s Mother, and the Enshrinements saw the Radiant Sacred Dragon Egg and reacted with awe and curiosity.
• Qian Daoliu departed with Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu’s Mother for the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving the Enshrinements to guard the egg and finish the Soul-Gathering Array Disk.
• After four days of travel, the group reached the Lake of Life, where Xiao Wu reunited with Da Ming and Er Ming.
• Qian Daoliu said they had come to find Bibi Dong a soul ring, and Da Ming warned that the ninety-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor near Black Wind Valley had grown aggressive as it approached the hundred-thousand-year bottleneck.

Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong found the ninety-thousand-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor in Black Wind Valley, where Bibi Dong tested her strength against it. Qian Daoliu subdued the beast with his Chaos Bell and wounded it, leaving Bibi Dong to deliver the final blow.

• Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong followed the system's directions to the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor's lair in Black Wind Valley.
• Bibi Dong attacked the Spider Emperor with her Soul Skills, but its defenses resisted her strikes and its poisonous mist threatened to trap her.

• Qian Daoliu intervened with his Chaos Bell, suppressing the Spider Emperor and striking it with a golden blade of light.
• Qian Daoliu told Bibi Dong to finish the weakened beast, and she drove her spider legs toward its vital point.

Bibi Dong absorbed the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor’s ninety-thousand-year soul ring, raising her strength to level eighty-four, and then fused with its external soul bone. The fusion awakened six purple-gold spider wings and caused her eighth soul ring to develop a red streak, leaving her to concentrate on completing the transformation.

• Bibi Dong completed the soul ring absorption and advanced to level eighty-four.
• Qian Daoliu revealed an external soul bone from the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor’s corpse and gave it to Bibi Dong.

• Qian Daoliu told Bibi Dong to focus, and she closed her eyes to continue fusing with the soul bone.

Bibi Dong completed her absorption of the Purple-Winged Spider Emperor’s soul bone, evolving her soul ring into a hundred-thousand-year ring and advancing to rank eighty-five. After receiving the rewards for the hunt, Qian Daoliu decided the group would head to Gengxin City to recruit Lou Gao.

• Bibi Dong’s soul ring transformed into a hundred-thousand-year ring, her external soul bone fused completely with her, and she broke through to rank eighty-five.

• Qian Daoliu told Bibi Dong that they would rest for a day before traveling to Gengxin City to invite Lou Gao to join Spirit Hall.
• Xiao Wu grew excited about visiting Gengxin City, and Xiao Wu’s Mother reflected on the remarkable events she had witnessed while traveling with Qian Daoliu.

Xiao Wu's Mother offered to sacrifice herself as Bibi Dong's ninth soul ring, but Qian Daoliu revealed a soul spirit contract that could preserve her soul and let her remain with Xiao Wu. The group left the Star Dou Great Forest with the contract as they headed toward Gengxin City.

• Xiao Wu's Mother decided to sacrifice herself for Bibi Dong when Bibi Dong reached level 90.
• Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong were shocked by the offer, while Da Ming and Er Ming reacted with alarm.
• Qian Daoliu presented the Complete Guide to Soul Spirit Contracts and explained that the contract could preserve Xiao Wu's Mother's soul and let her stay with Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Wu's Mother learned she could manifest and fight alongside Bibi Dong through the contract, and Xiao Wu welcomed the chance to stay with her.
• Qian Daoliu led Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's Mother away from the Lake of Life toward Gengxin City.

Qian Daoliu traveled to Gengxin City and personally invited Lou Gao to join Spirit Hall, offering rare materials to support his soul engineering research. Lou Gao accepted and prepared to move his family and disciples to Spirit City.

• Fasno and the Blacksmiths' Guild gathered at Gengxin City's gates, where Lou Gao waited to see whether Qian Daoliu would come in person.

• Qian Daoliu presented Lou Gao with blueprints for Red Dust Protection and the Holy Spirit Guardian Light Array, and Lou Gao vowed to become a Level 9 Soul Engineer and forge them.

Qian Daoliu weathered a blizzard in the Far North, where a lucky draw gave him several rare treasures and a Sacred Unicorn Cub that bonded with him. After the storm cleared, he traveled deeper into the Far North and encountered a Titan Snow Demon Ape that mistook him for prey.

• Qian Daoliu took shelter from the blizzard in his tent and used five lucky draws.
• Qian Daoliu won thirty thousand tons of ten-thousand-year ice jade marrow, a Tree of Life Sapling, soul ring age pills and their formula, and a Sacred Unicorn Cub.
• Qian Daoliu found that the cub could not be stored away, so he cared for it through the night and carried it in a fleece pouch when the blizzard passed.
• Qian Daoliu traveled into the Far North's core region, where a roughly ninety-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon Ape charged toward him.
