Flaide beat Yu Xiaogang and tried to turn Tang Hao against him while Tang Hao gained the upper hand against Dugu Bo and Shadow. At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Cao De finished absorbing the energy and discovered that Ah Yin was drawing power from the buried Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, which could help her take human form again.
Cao De emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as Tang Hao attacked the group over the Blue Silver Emperor. After upgrading Magnetic Hand, Cao De seized control of Tang Hao’s Clear Sky Hammer, forcing Tang Hao to retreat.
After driving Tang Hao away, Cao De recovered from his injuries and questioned Yu Xiaogang about his past with Bibi Dong. Yu Xiaogang’s tale shattered Liu Erlong’s last hopes, and Cao De sent him away unconscious with Flender.
Cao De asked Liu Erlong to guide him to a ten-thousand-year flying soul beast in Sunset Forest, while he arranged for Dugu Bo to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. At a valley, the group found a sixty-thousand-year Cloud Fox Bat hunting red-and-blue-winged soul beasts with a clever ambush.
Cao De captured the Cloud Fox Bat, transformed its Soul Ring into a hundred-thousand-year ring, and absorbed it as his fifth Soul Ring. He reached Soul Power level 55 and demonstrated his new spatial-travel Soul Skill, Blade Piercing.
Cao De and his companions returned from Sunset Forest to Heaven Dou City, where Xue Qinghe—revealed as Qian Renxue—launched an attack on his carriage. Cao De recognized her after their swords clashed, and Qian Renxue began her assault with her first soul skill.
Cao De stopped Qian Renxue’s assassination attempt, but her inexplicable tears, embrace, and kiss left him confused. She took him to a secret Spirit Hall hotel and revealed a hidden opening in its storeroom ceiling, inviting him to follow her.
Qian Renxue felt an inexplicable attraction to Cao De, and the two grew close despite having just met. When Cao De sensed Shui Yue'er was in danger, he teleported to her hotel room and confronted Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, who were attacking Shadow.
Cao De fought off Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, who fled after his attacks left Snake Lance injured. The next morning, Qian Renxue visited him in her Xue Qinghe disguise, grew affectionate, and left Cao De wondering why so much of the world had changed from the story he remembered.
Qian Renxue visited Cao De, and their affectionate moment was interrupted by Qian Daoliu, who confronted Cao De and tested his strength. After Cao De revealed his five genuine Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings, Qian Daoliu offered to make him his disciple, but Qian Renxue declared that she and Cao De were together, leaving her furious grandfather ready to attack.
Qian Renxue stopped Qian Daoliu from restraining her by threatening herself, and Cao De won Qian Daoliu’s approval with a sudden attack before sparring with him. Qian Daoliu accepted Cao De as a future grandson-in-law and left, while Cao De stayed committed to reconciling Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu before joining their families.
Cao De shared a playful day with Qian Renxue, who disguised them so they could secretly leave the hotel and enjoy the city together. He then told Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er that he would leave for Slaughter City the next day, and the women agreed to train while he was gone.
Cao De entered Slaughter City after defeating its gatekeeper and received token 5678. Qian Renxue joined him there, and after Cao De dismissed his assigned Slaughter Envoy, they faced a hostile man together.
Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong learned that Qian Renxue and Cao De had entered Slaughter City, while the pair fought their way into its main city. After the Slaughter Master forced Molly to apologize, Cao De spared her and he and Qian Renxue entered a hotel.
Cao De and Qian Renxue entered the Hell Slaughter Arena, where they each won ten consecutive matches. After Qian Renxue revealed she had used a Soul Cannon to keep fighting, Cao De reassured her that he would slow down and stay beside her.
Cao De won his seventieth consecutive match in Slaughter City while Huo Wu tried to persuade Liu Erlong to become her master's mistress. Ah Yin took human form at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and began searching for the person in her memories as Dugu Bo witnessed the immortal herbs fly away.
Ah Yin emerged from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and searched for the owner of her flowerpot while Dugu Bo alerted Shadow and went after her. In Cloudwind City, Tang San encountered Ah Yin and proposed a public selection to help her find the flowerpot’s owner, convinced that she would become his wife.
Tang San tried to help Ah Yin find someone by booking a tavern, but she used Immortal Herbs to spread her search instead. The distorted message reached Tang Hao, who rushed toward Cloudwind City after recognizing a possible clue.
Tang Hao entered Fengyun City disguised and found Ah Yin, only for Tang San to mistake him for a man pursuing his wife. After Tang Hao beat Tang San, Ah Yin recovered memories from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and rejected Tang Hao, who fought back against her attack.
Ah Yin left Tang Hao behind and met Shui Bing'er, who brought her to stay with her master’s household. In Slaughter City, Cao De won his hundredth consecutive match, and Qian Renxue entered the arena for her own hundredth match.
Cao De and Qian Renxue won their hundredth consecutive fight and chose to challenge the Hell Road, but found its route unusually safe and the Red Bead missing. After questioning the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, Cao De learned another challenger had taken the bead and followed it to a platform marked by an empty space and surrounding stones.
Cao De escaped the Slaughter City with the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, but a strange Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring forcibly attached itself to him and began corrupting his spiritual sea with killing intent. He concealed his condition from Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, then went with Qian Renxue to the Moonlight Pavilion, where Tang Yuehua sensed the dangerous aura around him.
Cao De’s murderous aura overwhelmed Tang Yuehua’s domain, and he nearly attacked her before regaining control and collapsing. While unconscious, he discovered the system’s hidden spirit manipulating his emotion points and framing the Divine Realm Will for its actions, then devised a way to exploit its fear of his suspicions.
Cao De recovered after Tang Yuehua's mutated martial soul power destroyed the black mist in his spiritual sea, and he and Qian Renxue reassured Tang Yuehua about what had happened. The three began settling into a new relationship as Cao De offered to cook and Qian Renxue asked Tang Yuehua to teach her the harp.
Cao De cooked for Qian Renxue and Tang Yuehua, growing closer to Tang Yuehua through his kindness. When Yu Wangxuan visited and threatened Tang Yuehua, Cao De beat him unconscious and revealed that he was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, leaving Tang Yuehua shocked.
