Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er chose to enter deep adventures rather than make others bear the danger, and were sent to the Mingdou Mountains to protect Xu Jiujiu, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu. Huo Yuhao set out toward the Sun Moon Empire's army, hinting that he planned to handle the crisis through diplomacy and relationships.

• The wheel selected Huo Yuhao for a combat adventure, but he and Huo Qiu'er both chose the deep adventure after learning that defeating opponents would endanger them.
• Nangong Wan was selected next and drew the Third Elder, the Nether Thunder Douluo, as his opponent; both prepared to fight at full strength.

• Huo Yuhao put on his Soul Guidance Goggles and walked toward the Sun Moon Empire's army, asking Huo Qiu'er to come with him.

Huo Yuhao planned to prevent a battle between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire by exploiting the Sun Moon camp’s response to a crisis in Mingdu. The chapter ended with Ye Yulin receiving a false report that the Holy Spirit Cult had kidnapped the imperial family, while the messenger secretly smiled.

• Huo Yuhao surveyed the Sun Moon encampment with Huo Qiu'er and decided to stop the approaching war before it began.
• Huo Yuhao questioned Huo Qiu'er about being called the Golden Dragon Holy Maiden, and she denied being an Evil Soul Master while admitting she possessed a Life-Devouring Secret Technique.

• Ye Yulin cursed the Holy Spirit Cult after hearing Elder Kong had ordered the Soul Engineer Corps and Level 9 Soul Engineers to return to Mingdu, unaware that the messenger was smiling sinisterly.

Huo Yuhao’s false report sent Ye Yulin and the Level 9 Soul Engineers back to Mingdu, but exposed the Five Poisons Douluo’s position to the Star Luo Empire. A secret trial then forced Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu’er to face the poison-wielding elder without outside help, leaving them to test whether they could combine their powers.

• Huo Yuhao used Mental Suggestion and a stolen Eight-Clawed Fire Dragon Token to convince Ye Yulin that the Holy Spirit Cult had kidnapped the emperor and crown prince.
• Ye Yulin recalled the Soul Engineers to Mingdu and revealed the Five Poisons Douluo’s location to the Star Luo Empire, while Marshal Tian ordered his army not to attack rashly.

• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu’er joined fists and felt their Soul Power merge, suggesting they might perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then turned toward the Five Poisons Douluo.

Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er chose to fight the Five Poisons Douluo rather than wait ten years, while Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were forced into the same trial. After the Five Poisons Douluo poisoned the White Tiger Guards, the four participants joined forces and launched a combined attack.

• The trial voice warned Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er that they had to kill the Five Poisons Douluo through combat, then offered them the choice to retreat for ten years; they chose to fight.

• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er joined the Hell White Tiger in attacking the Five Poisons Douluo with their Golden Divine Dragon Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon-Tiger Frenzy.

Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er joined Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu to battle the Five Poisons Douluo, then Huo Yuhao used the Level 9 Soul Tool Cunning Rabbit to kill him. After clearing the Deep Adventure, Huo Yuhao awakened his Body Martial Soul to the Silver Tier and he and Huo Qiu'er were transported away to begin the Sincere Heart Adventure.

• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er combined their powers with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu to strike the Five Poisons Douluo, but the Soul Fusion Skills injured them without defeating him.
• Huo Yuhao threw Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu toward the cliff with an Invincible Shield so they could escape, then realized he could use Cunning Rabbit as a weapon.
• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er lured the Five Poisons Douluo into the air, and Huo Yuhao used Cunning Rabbit’s propulsion and protective barrier to drive them into the Mingdou Mountains, killing him.
• Huo Yuhao warned Huo Qiu'er away from the poisonous remains, then accepted the Dark Azure Dragon engraving knife from her as compensation for Cunning Rabbit.
• Huo Qiu'er recognized the silver-white vertical eye behind Huo Yuhao as a Silver Tier Second Awakening, and Huo Yuhao reflected on the life-threatening trial.
• The bland voice announced that Huo Yuhao had cleared the Deep Adventure and begun the Sincere Heart Adventure, then transported him and Huo Qiu'er away.

As Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Zhang Lexuan faced the Clear Sky Sect’s trial, Tang Ya was trapped in the Treasure Pavilion while Tai Tan grew stronger with every treasure she took. She destroyed the pavilion to escape and declared that she no longer wanted to revive the Tang Sect, only to save Bei Bei.

• Star Luo’s forces crossed into the Mingdou Mountains without provoking the Sun Moon border army, while Xuan Zi and Du Busi waited outside the mysterious fog for those trapped within.
• Yan Shaozhe fought three Holy Spirit Cult Evil Soul Masters and discovered that the third was his missing apprentice, Ma Xiaotao, who no longer recognized him; Ye Xishui then appeared and attacked the Shrek and Body Sect forces.

• Bei Bei and Zhang Lexuan fought Tai Tan as Tang Ya gathered Tang Sect treasures, but Niu Tian revealed that each item she took increased Tai Tan’s strength.
• Realizing her looting was putting Bei Bei in greater danger, Tang Ya blasted her way out of the Treasure Pavilion with a Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus, destroying its contents in the explosion.
• Tang Ya wounded herself escaping and confronted Tai Tan with a third Buddha’s Fury Tang Lotus, declaring that she did not want to revive the Tang Sect anymore and only wanted Bei Bei.

Tang Ya rejected the Tang Sect’s revival after passing the Clear Sky Castle trial by choosing Bei Bei, while Huo Yuhao faced a mysterious god in the third Sincere Heart Adventure. Huo Yuhao summoned Electrolux and challenged the god to a Great Turtle Divination.

• Tai Tan revealed that the test had examined Tang Ya’s courage and loyalty, and declared Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Zhang Lexuan had passed.
• Tang Ya denounced the burden of reviving the Tang Sect and its refusal to adapt to soul tools, then chose Bei Bei and gave up on the sect.
• Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and Zhang Lexuan vanished after passing the Sincere Heart Adventure, while Niu Tian and Tai Tan discussed the god’s refusal to interfere in the Tang Sect’s decline.
• Huo Yuhao woke in a Golden Plaza, where a blue-gold figure attacked him and argued that the trials had drawn out his potential.
• Huo Yuhao insulted the figure, then Electrolux emerged through him and challenged the god to stake their authorities, souls, and destinies on a Great Turtle Divination.

Huo Yuhao resisted the Qiankun Asking Love Valley’s demand that he open his Sea of Consciousness, and brought his allies into the Undead Demiplane for shelter. After learning the valley’s trials could trap them for a hundred years, he declared he would stop yielding and prepare to fight back.

• Huo Qiu'er and Wang Dong refused to kill each other during the third trial and resolved to resist the force controlling the valley.
• The blue-gold figure summoned everyone to the Golden Plaza, where the Holy Spirit Cult recognized Huo Yuhao as its Holy Son and the figure demanded that he open his Sea of Consciousness for purification.
• Huo Yuhao opened the Gate of the Undead and sent the Shrek Academy and Body Sect members inside, while the Holy Spirit Cult members were left behind.
• Electrolux explained that the blue-gold figure's true body was elsewhere and that the group could not escape the Secret Realm from the Undead Demiplane.
• Tang Ya revealed that her trial reward was the Tang Sect's lost Poison Chapter, and Huo Yuhao read its account of the Qiankun Asking Love Valley and its hundred-year punishment for failure.
• Huo Yuhao rejected further compromise, asked Hall Master Hongchen to lend him thirty Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells, and declared that he was flipping the table.

Huo Yuhao rejected Tang San’s demand that he sacrifice himself and used Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells to shatter the Golden Plaza, though he remained trapped in Qiankun Asking Love Valley. After the deaths of the Holy Spirit Cult members gathered their souls around him and broke Tang San’s restrictions, Huo Yuhao prepared to unleash the remaining shells.

• Huo Yuhao showed the others thirty Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells in the Undead Demiplane, and they agreed to support his plan to use them against the force controlling the valley.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the Golden Plaza, promised the Holy Spirit Cult members he would get them out, and challenged the voice above to reveal whether it was Tang San.
• Tang San admitted he had watched Huo Yuhao and condemned him, while Huo Yuhao accused Tang San of neglecting the continent and interfering in mortal lives.
• Huo Yuhao detonated one shell with his Ice Explosion Technique, destroying the Golden Plaza and killing nearly all the Holy Spirit Cult members, but he remained inside Qiankun Asking Love Valley.
• Tang San tried to contain Huo Yuhao and the remaining twenty-nine shells with Unfixed Turbulence, but the souls of eight powerful fighters gathered around Huo Yuhao and dispelled the restrictions.
• Huo Yuhao raised his left arm and roared, “Forsake the Holy Spirit!”

Huo Yuhao fused his powers with Ning Tian’s amplification to unleash Ice Emperor’s Wrath, destroying the Qiankun Asking Love Valley and Tang San and Ning Rongrong’s manifestations. The resulting blast sent emerald light and supernatural cold toward Mingdu, where Xu Tianran witnessed the strange western sky.

• Tang San and Ning Rongrong tried to suppress and move Huo Yuhao’s twenty-nine Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shells, but Ning Tian amplified Huo Yuhao as he prepared to detonate them.
• Huo Yuhao combined the shells with his Ultimate Ice powers and the Ice Emperor’s Wrath, breaking through Tang San’s Unfixed Turbulence.

• The explosion shattered Sun Moon Lake, destroyed the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, and swallowed Tang San and Ning Rongrong’s manifestations.
• Xu Tianran saw emerald light fill the western sky as a thunderclap and freezing winds swept toward Mingdu.

After Huo Yuhao escaped the destroyed Qiankun Asking Love Valley, he and Huo Qiu'er killed Feng Ling, wiping out the Holy Spirit Cult forces trapped in the West Mountain Secret Realm. Huo Yuhao then defied Tang San and the gods, vowing to settle matters on the continent before confronting them.

• Tang San lamented the destruction of his Divine Sense avatar and planned how to explain his interference in the lower realm to the other God Realm Enforcers.
• Electrolux told Tian Meng and the Ice and Snow Empresses that he had used Huo Yuhao's Simulation to deceive a god, since he could no longer use Great Turtle Divination.
• Ye Xishui overwhelmed Du Busi and Xuan Zi while Giant Fist Douluo returned with a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, but a massive emerald explosion erupted from the West Mountain mist and blasted them away.
• Huo Yuhao and other survivors were flung from the shattered Qiankun Asking Love Valley into the West Mountain ruins, where Huo Yuhao reunited with Huo Qiu'er and Feng Ling survived through phoenix nirvana.
• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er defeated Feng Ling with their Setting Sun Martial Soul Fusion Skill, devoured her life force and soul, and broke through the Level 70 barrier as she died cursing Yan Shaozhe.
• Huo Yuhao vowed to defy divine authority and confront the gods after settling matters on the continent.

Huo Yuhao revealed that Huo Qiu'er was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and she explained how she had entered human society after sharing his memories. As the survivors regrouped and prepared to leave Sun Moon, Ye Xishui vowed revenge, and Yan Shaozhe's arrival brought news of Ma Xiaotao.

• Huo Yuhao confirmed that Huo Qiu'er was the Emperor Auspicious Beast and accepted her after she admitted she no longer wanted to kill him.
• Huo Qiu'er explained that she could choose a human form, had simulated the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, and had followed Huo Yuhao's memories to the Body Sect.
• The Snow Empress warned Huo Qiu'er not to covet Far North soul beasts, while Tian Meng hid in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness.
• Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao escaped toward Mingdu, and Ye Xishui swore to take revenge on the Body Sect, Shrek, and Huo Yuhao.
• Du Busi urged everyone to leave Sun Moon for Tianhun, and the Shrek survivors gathered with Huo Yuhao.
• Yan Shaozhe arrived after the elders had restrained Ma Xiaotao, and Huo Yuhao's cheerful mood vanished.

Huo Yuhao exposed Yan Shaozhe’s past relationship with Feng Ling and used Yan’s regret over letting her go to force him to confront Ma Xiaotao, now the Holy Spirit Cult’s Fire Phoenix Holy Maiden. Yan could not bring himself to kill his former student, so Huo Yuhao offered to do it for Shrek.

• Xian Lin'er revealed that Feng Ling had named Yan Shaozhe as the person she loved most and claimed she had been his first woman, prompting Yan to admit their past relationship.
• Huo Yuhao questioned whether Yan had secretly aided the Holy Spirit Cult, and Yan denied it, explaining that he had let Feng Ling escape before she became an evil soul master.
• Huo Yuhao used Mental Suggestion to make Yan acknowledge that he would not repeat his mistake of sparing Feng Ling.
• Huo Yuhao revealed that the unconscious Ma Xiaotao was now the Holy Spirit Cult’s Fire Phoenix Holy Maiden and had killed hundreds of people.
• Yan refused to kill Ma Xiaotao, and Huo Yuhao said he would do it himself if Shrek could not.

Huo Yuhao confronted Shrek over Ma Xiaotao’s crimes and revealed how the academy had once minimized her near-fatal attack on him. He accepted a compromise to leave her permanently confined for now, but secretly marked her and still intended to kill her later.

• Yan Shaozhe vowed to bring Ma Xiaotao back to Shrek, and Xuan Zi asked Huo Yuhao to use his ultimate ice to restore her senses.
• Huo Yuhao refused and used Spiritual Sharing to show how Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire had nearly killed him at Sea God Lake and how Shrek had threatened him into silence.
• Huo Yuhao challenged Yan Shaozhe and Xuan Zi to punish Ma Xiaotao or admit they were sheltering an Evil Soul Master, while Du Busi offered to strike her himself.
• Qian Duoduo proposed permanently confining Ma Xiaotao unless her evil fire could be suppressed, and Huo Yuhao agreed to pause the confrontation out of respect for him and Xian Lin'er.
• Huo Yuhao told Huo Qiu'er he had once planned to embarrass Shrek but had withdrawn instead, then secretly placed a spiritual mark on Ma Xiaotao and resolved to kill her later.

Huo Yuhao argued that destroying the Holy Spirit Cult would not end evil soul masters and proposed turning it into a sanctuary to guide those born with evil martial souls. After parting from Shrek and the Body Sect near Mingdu, he agreed to return to the Star Luo Empire with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, while Wang Dong woke and Tang Ya realized she had not asked Yuhao to return the Tang Sect’s Poison Chapter.

• Huo Yuhao told Huo Qiu'er that evil soul masters could not be eliminated by destroying the Holy Spirit Cult, and proposed keeping the cult as a place to identify and train people who awakened evil martial souls.
• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er said farewell to Du Busi, Vina, and the Shrek group as they prepared to leave the Sun Moon Empire, while Cai Mei'er postponed telling Shrek’s leaders about Electrolux and the Undead Demiplane.
• Huo Yuhao remembered that Ma Xiaotao remained unresolved and revealed that he had left a spiritual mark on her; Dai Huabin then asked him to return to the Star Luo Empire and pay respects to the fallen White Tiger Guards, and Huo Yuhao agreed.
• On the flying soul tools, Xian Lin'er welcomed Ye Guyi into the Soul Tool Department, and Wang Dong woke in Cai Mei'er’s arms feeling that she had lost something important.
• Tang Ya realized she had forgotten to ask Huo Yuhao for the Tang Sect’s Poison Chapter, but decided she would ask for it the next time they met.

Huo Yuhao returned to the Star Luo camp with Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Huo Qiu'er, where he learned that corpse poison from the Five Poisons Douluo had gravely poisoned Xu Jiujiu. After the Medicine Immortal Douluo failed to cure her, Huo Yuhao found a possible remedy in the Poison Chapter and suspected the Tang Sect Master was behind the poison.

• Huo Yuhao and his companions crossed the Mingdou Mountains and reached the Star Luo Western Army camp.
• Dai Hao told Huo Yuhao that corpse poison had sickened dozens of soldiers and left Xu Jiujiu near death.
• Huo Yuhao hurried to Star Luo City, where Wang Xian'er said she could only prolong Xu Jiujiu's life and that heartbroken lovesick grass might cure her.
• Huo Yuhao used Spiritual Detection to hear Wang Xian'er describe the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then read about it in the Poison Chapter.
• Huo Yuhao suspected the Tang Sect Master had engineered the poisoning as a way to manipulate him.

Huo Yuhao learned that Xu Jiujiu would die within a week unless he found Heartbroken Lovesick Grass at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, so he traveled there alone despite knowing Tang San had set a trap. He reached the secluded valley and approached the lake as a large pink flower opened nearby.

• Wang Xian'er told Nebula Douluo Manyi that Xu Jiujiu's poisons could not be cured and she might not survive a week without Heartbroken Lovesick Grass.
• Huo Yuhao decided to seek the herb despite suspecting the book's directions were part of Tang San's trap, and refused to bring Huo Qiu'er or anyone else with him.
• Huo Yuhao entered the Undead Demiplane and told Tian Meng and the Ice and Snow Empresses that he would face the danger alone.
• Huo Yuhao flew to the Sunset Forest, crossed its poisonous miasma, and found the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in a secluded valley.
• Huo Yuhao approached the two-colored lake, where a large pink flower opened in front of him.

Huo Yuhao sought the Qiluo Heart and the heartbroken lovesick grass to save his poisoned friend, but Youyou’s supposed test turned into an ambush by the immortal herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He seized Youyou and threatened to destroy the well unless she gave him the treasures.

• Huo Yuhao recognized Youyou as a hundred-thousand-year aromatic silk beauty and told her he had come for her Qiluo Heart and the heartbroken lovesick grass.
• Youyou said Huo Yuhao had to pass a test by eating an herb of her choosing, but Huo Yuhao refused to risk his life on an unknown plant.
• When Huo Yuhao turned to leave, Youyou and the other plant-type soul beasts attacked, and A Jiao fired hot spring water at him.
• Youyou explained that the herbs were testing humans to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then declared that Huo Yuhao would have to stay there forever.
• Huo Yuhao overwhelmed Youyou with his power, seized her stem, and demanded the two treasures, threatening to destroy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with his poisonous green energy.

Huo Yuhao forced the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well’s plant spirits to yield by detonating a fraction of the Extreme Cold Ice Spring’s power, then summoned the lake’s ancient dragon spirits. Huo Qiu’er reached the cleared Poison Miasma as the plant spirits recognized the dragons overhead.

• Huo Yuhao threatened Youyou with the Extreme Cold Ice Spring and demanded the Qiluo Heart and Heartbroken Lovesick Grass, rejecting her explanations about Tang San’s tests.
• Huo Yuhao counted to three and used the Ice Explosion Technique on the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, blasting apart the shore and dispersing the Poison Miasma.
• Bajiao told Youyou that Huo Yuhao had unleashed only about one percent of the spring’s power, and Youyou gave him the Qiluo Heart in fear.
• Huo Qiu’er sensed Huo Yuhao’s Ultimate Ice aura in the wind and flew toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Huo Yuhao ordered the departed souls to awaken, and the two springs rose as enormous ice-blue and scarlet dragons that the plant spirits recognized as Dragon Lords.

Huo Yuhao retrieved the heartbroken lovesick grass and other treasures from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, sparing the place temporarily after Huo Qiu'er intervened. He returned to Star Luo City too late to save Xu Jiujiu, and the chapter ended with him resolving to pursue undead magic to resurrect her.

• Huo Yuhao awakened the remnant souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and they responded affectionately to Huo Qiu'er’s golden dragon bloodline.
• Youyou and the other immortal herbs begged Huo Yuhao to spare the well, and Huo Qiu'er persuaded him to take the heartbroken lovesick grass first and postpone deciding its fate.
• Huo Yuhao left with the Qiluo Heart, the bane of all poisons, and the heartbroken lovesick grass, while Huo Qiu'er stayed behind and suggested the Lake of Life as a refuge for the herbs.
• Huo Yuhao returned to Star Luo City and learned that Xu Jiujiu had died; Medicine Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er explained that the heartbroken lovesick grass could not resurrect her.
• Huo Yuhao crushed the heartbroken lovesick grass, mourned Xu Jiujiu, and told Electrolux that he would pursue the undead magic once used to try to resurrect a wife.

Huo Yuhao and Electrolux attempted to resurrect Xu Jiujiu by summoning her soul and guiding it back into her body. Her body began to revive, but her soul-ring power threatened to tear the merger apart, so Huo Yuhao proposed containing it with his own soul rings.

• Nebula Douluo and Wang Xian'er mourned Xu Jiujiu and allowed Huo Yuhao to spend time alone with her.
• Electrolux warned Huo Yuhao that truly resurrecting Xu Jiujiu was difficult, and they moved her to Huo Yun'er's grave to work undisturbed.
• Huo Yuhao and Electrolux summoned Xu Jiujiu's soul, then used the Qiluo Heart to neutralize the poison and guide her soul back into her body.
• Xu Jiujiu's heartbeat and other signs of life returned, but her soul rings flared and her soul began separating from her weakened body.
• Electrolux explained that Xu Jiujiu's martial soul power needed a gentle vessel, and Huo Yuhao proposed using his own soul rings to contain it.

Huo Yuhao revived Xu Jiujiu by absorbing her soul-ring power into his seventh soul ring, then brought her to Wang Xian'er for treatment. Xu Jiujiu awakened and began recovering, while Huo Yuhao accepted the risk that returning her power could weaken his seventh soul ring.

• Tang San reflected on Xiao Qi’s return and hoped Huo Yuhao would suffer the grief of losing what he valued.
• Huo Yuhao transferred Xu Jiujiu’s six soul rings into his seventh soul-ring position, creating a star-speckled ring and restoring her to life.
• Electrolux warned Huo Yuhao that returning Xu Jiujiu’s soul-ring power could reduce his seventh soul ring from around sixty thousand years to almost nothing, but Huo Yuhao said he had no regrets.
• Huo Yuhao brought Xu Jiujiu to the Imperial Palace, where Wang Xian'er treated her and confirmed that she was recovering.
• Xu Jiujiu awakened and thanked Huo Yuhao with a smile, while he left the sleeping quarters reflecting on what he had learned about souls and soul rings.

Huo Yuhao helped Xu Jiujiu return from death and restore her soul power, and the two spoke about the painful romances of their parents as they cautiously approached their own feelings. Xu Jiujiu revealed why she had helped him in the past and asked him to hug her again.

• Xu Jiawei learned that Xu Jiujiu had recovered, and Nebula Douluo told him Huo Yuhao had helped save her by finding the Heartbroken Lovesick Grass.
• Xu Jiujiu awoke and, after Wang Xian'er left, told Huo Yuhao she had seen him bring her soul back to her body.
• Electrolux explained that Huo Yuhao needed to return Xu Jiujiu's soul ring, and Huo Yuhao restored her power.
• Xu Jiujiu recognized the White Tiger Dagger as a Level 5 soul tool and discussed Huo Yun'er and Dai Hao with Huo Yuhao.
• Xu Jiujiu told Huo Yuhao that she had helped him because her mother's unhappy marriage reminded her of Huo Yun'er's, then asked him to hug her again.

Huo Yuhao and Xu Jiujiu acknowledged their feelings as they discussed the loves and losses that shaped them. Before leaving to pursue his plans for the continent, Huo Yuhao revealed his powerful Martial Soul Avatar to Xu Jiujiu.

• Huo Yuhao embraced Xu Jiujiu, and they admitted their feelings without yet calling them love.
• Xu Jiujiu told Huo Yuhao how her mother's devoted love for the emperor and her own concern for Huo Yuhao had shaped her life.
• Huo Yuhao told Xu Jiujiu that he had nearly destroyed the Holy Spirit Cult and explained his plan to prevent a future war between the Star Luo and Sun Moon Empires.
• Xu Jiujiu swore to keep Huo Yuhao's plan and Elder Yi's existence secret, and Huo Yuhao promised to bring lasting peace if he succeeded.
• Before Huo Yuhao departed, Xu Jiujiu asked to see his seventh soul skill, and he revealed a huge vertical eye with a small crown resembling her Star Crown.

Huo Yuhao discovered that his Seventh Soul Skill had granted him Star's Guardian, shared a tender farewell with Xu Jiujiu, and returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He began absorbing the Extreme Cold Ice Spring while Huo Qiu'er studied his unusual Seventh Soul Ring.

• Huo Yuhao manifested Star's Guardian, startling Xu Jiujiu, who recognized it as a technique of the Star Crown lineage.
• Xu Jiujiu created her own Star's Guardian, kissed Huo Yuhao, and told him she believed in him before he left.
• Huo Yuhao discussed his feelings and ambitions with the spirits in his Sea of Consciousness, then decided to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before going back to the Sun Moon Empire.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with Tian Meng and the Ice and Snow Empresses, and the immortal herbs agreed to submit to him.
• Huo Yuhao jumped into the Extreme Cold Ice Spring to absorb its power as Huo Qiu'er examined his starry Seventh Soul Ring.
