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.

• Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er appeared in the Mingdou Mountains, where the trial ordered them to protect Xu Jiujiu, Dai Huabin, and Zhu Lu until they reached the Star Luo Empire.
• 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.

• A messenger carrying an Eight-Clawed Fire Dragon Token entered the command tent and claimed the Holy Spirit Cult had kidnapped the Crown Prince, the emperor, and several princes in Mingdu.
• 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 entered the Mingdou Mountains as the trial changed its objective to killing the Five Poisons Douluo and warned that Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu were among the White Tiger Guards at risk.
• The trial voice forbade Huo Yuhao from seeking outside help, prompting him to curse it before calming down and asking Huo Qiu’er to fight alongside him.
• 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.
• Xu Jiujiu and her companions approached the Mingdou Mountains as Dai Hao waited with the White Tiger Guards, including disguised trial participants Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

• 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.

• 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.
• Ning Tian collapsed from the strain, and Huo Yuhao pulled her into the Gate of the Undead before the shells exploded.
• 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.
