Chapter Summaries

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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 jumped into the Extreme Cold Ice Spring to absorb its power as Huo Qiu'er examined his starry Seventh Soul Ring.

Huo Yuhao tempered himself in the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, raised his soul rings, and unexpectedly condensed a soul core despite only being a Soul Saint. After Huo Qiu'er learned how he had gained his seventh soul ring, she urged him to consider sharing the method to reduce soul-beast deaths, and he agreed it should be spread if its principle could be understood.

Huo Yuhao proposed sharing soul rings and discussed how the technology could reduce soul-beast hunting while letting soul masters choose known skills, then turned to researching a soul tool at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Huo Qiu'er explained her concern for the soul beasts’ future to the Ice and Snow Empresses, admitted Tian Meng’s accusations against the Star Dou Great Forest were justified, and said she felt responsible for the Soul Beast Clan.

• Huo Yuhao explained that shared soul rings could pass on powerful, reliable soul skills, and Huo Qiu'er recognized their potential to reduce soul-beast hunting.
• Huo Yuhao said shared rings would retain about one percent of their original age and suggested their power could be increased, but refused Huo Qiu'er's request to test the experimental method because he had more important research to do.
• Huo Yuhao used the Yang Spring water and He Caitou's Sunflare Needles to begin secluded research into a soul tool, while Huo Qiu'er and the nearby soul beasts gave him space.
• The Snow and Ice Empresses approached Huo Qiu'er, who described Di Tian's fears that humanity's growth and demand for soul rings would threaten soul beasts' survival.

Huo Qiu'er reflected on the soul beasts’ decline and the unequal power struggle with humans, while the Snow Empress revealed that the Far North would not submit to the sovereign of all soul beasts. The chapter ended with the Snow Empress openly challenging Di Tian to confront the Far North if he considered it a threat.

• Huo Qiu'er argued that soul beasts were divided among themselves and explained that Di Tian and his allies suppressed tiger-type soul beasts to prevent a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger bloodline from awakening.
• Huo Qiu'er recalled how humans had repeatedly hunted hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and why Di Tian avoided unleashing another devastating beast tide.

• The Snow Empress told Huo Qiu'er that the Dragon God had been the legendary sovereign of all soul beasts and that a surviving successor remained in the Star Dou Great Forest.
• Huo Qiu'er warned that the sovereign could unite soul beasts in a war that might destroy the continent, but the Snow Empress declared that the Far North would not obey it and would welcome Di Tian if he challenged them.

The Snow Empress revealed the Far North’s history and asked Huo Yuhao to become its Ice God and bless its people. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao worked on a sun-replicating soul tool, and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass offered to help if he took it with him.

• The Snow Empress told Huo Qiu'er, the Ice Empress, and Tian Meng that no Ice God had ever sent an oracle, and she suspected the god might not exist.
• The Snow Empress recounted how a million-year soul beast had failed its tribulation and perished, leaving the Far North without the blessings it might have gained from a god.
• The Snow Empress asked Huo Yuhao to become the Ice God and bless the Far North, and Huo Qiu'er chose not to tell Di Tian what she had learned.
• Huo Yuhao used He Caitou’s Sunflare Needles to address the materials problem in his sun-replicating soul tool and considered using water from the Scorching Yang Spring as its heat source.
• The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass offered to help Huo Yuhao preserve the spring water’s ultimate fire attribute if he took it with him.

Huo Yuhao accepted the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass’s offer to become his soul ring and learned how blazing gel could preserve the Scorching Yang Spring’s ultimate fire. After successfully testing his Sun Soul Tool, he prepared to absorb Bajiao as his second martial soul’s third soul ring.

• Bajiao asked Huo Yuhao to take it with him as a soul ring, explaining that it wanted to leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and pursue the chance to become a god.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to spare the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and asked Bajiao how to preserve the spring water’s ultimate fire attribute.

• Tian Meng approved Bajiao as Huo Yuhao’s third soul ring, and Bajiao began transforming into blue crystal.

Huo Yuhao completed Bajiao’s sacrifice, gaining a third hundred-thousand-year soul ring, a right leg soul bone, and cultivation at rank seventy-four. As the Ice and Snow Empresses considered the risks of seeking more soul rings in the Far North, Huo Yuhao revealed his intention to pursue Di Tian for the right arm soul bone and prepared to return to the Sun Moon Empire with Huo Qiu’er.

• Huo Yuhao opened the Gate of the Undead to return to the Sun Moon Empire, and Huo Qiu’er agreed to go with him.

After Huo Yuhao left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the immortal herbs considered how they might survive by helping a human attain godhood. At the God Realm Committee, Tang San defended his actions in the Douluo Continent, while the God of Destruction resolved to investigate it through a neutral god.

• Huo Yuhao departed through the Gate of the Undead, and Youyou and the other immortal herbs relaxed while A Jiao lamented the loss of her blazing gel.
• Youyou reminded A Jiao that Bajiao had chosen to become a human's Soul Ring to seek eternal life, and the immortal herbs considered doing the same.
• The God of Destruction confronted Tang San at a God Realm Committee meeting about his destroyed Divine Sense avatar in the Douluo Continent.
• Tang San claimed he had been managing the fallen Love Goddess's Secret Realm and explained that a mortal expert had destroyed his avatar there.
• The God of Destruction argued that powerful mortals deserved access to the Divine Realm, then left the meeting without pressing Tang San further.
• The God of Destruction decided to find a neutral god to investigate the Douluo Continent without alerting Tang San.

The God of Destruction returned to the Divine Realm meeting and sought the support of the Gods of Good and Evil, while Tang San worried about his plans for the Douluo Continent. At Shrek Academy, Wang Dong was taken away by the Clear Sky Sect for treatment of a supposed hidden ailment, and she fainted while calling Huo Yuhao’s name.

• The God of Destruction told the Goddess of Life he would win over the Gods of Good and Evil rather than try to persuade Tang San to support expanding the Divine Realm.
• The exhausted Shrek students returned to the academy, where Tang Ya told Bei Bei she would remain Tang Sect’s sect master without worrying about its status.
• Zhang Lexuan told the students that Du Busi had left and that Xuan Zi and the others were convening a Sea God Pavilion meeting.
• Wang Dong felt dizzy and unsteady, but she denied that anything was wrong when Xiao Xiao tried to help her.
• Zhang Lexuan told Wang Dong that her family had come to take her home for treatment of a hidden ailment, and Wang Dong resisted going with them.
• Wang Dong fainted in Zhang Lexuan’s arms and murmured Huo Yuhao’s name as Zhang Lexuan carried her toward the academy gates.

• Zhang Lexuan verified the Clear Sky Sect envoys’ identity and handed Wang Dong over, learning that Sect Master Tai would treat her hidden illness.
• Zhang Lexuan confirmed that her past journey to Clear Sky Sect with Bei Bei and Tang Ya had been real, then arranged a room for the newly arrived Ye Guyi.
• Zhang Lexuan explained to Ye Guyi that Ma Xiaotao’s evil fire had been triggered when the Holy Spirit Cult abducted her, and Ye Guyi vowed to become a bane to evil soul masters.
• Yan Shaozhe proposed contacting the Northern Land Family and asking its Northern Douluo to help Ma Xiaotao, but Xian Lin’er and Qian Duoduo warned him not to pressure Huo Yuhao.
• Xian Lin’er demanded that Shrek invest more in the Soul Tool Department and teach Ye Guyi there, and Xuan Zi ruled that Ye Guyi would become a dual core disciple of both departments.

After Shrek's elders agreed to strengthen the Soul Tool Department, Wang Dong'er returned to Clear Sky Castle and confronted Tang Wutong, who claimed Dong'er was only her substitute. Gray light intervened and erased Tang Wutong from their shared inner world, but the girl who awoke afterward was still called Wutong, leaving Dong'er alone with the truth that others had denied her identity.

• Xuan Zi promised to raise the Soul Tool Department's status, and Shrek's elders approved more core disciple places and soul tool courses.
• Bei Bei recounted his group's trials in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley and suggested the power behind them might come from the gods.
• Wang Dong'er met Tang Wutong in a vision, where Tang Wutong claimed she was the original and tried to drive her away.
• After Wang Dong'er woke in Clear Sky Castle and insisted she was Dong'er, Niu Tian subdued her, but gray light later returned her to the vision.
• Wang Dong'er resisted Tang Wutong with her combined powers, and gray light swallowed Tang Wutong before Wang Dong'er collapsed.
• The girl later awoke calling herself Wutong and left Clear Sky Castle for Shrek Academy, then wept alone and insisted she was Dong'er; meanwhile, Electrolux entered a deep slumber after hinting at a connection between the girl and an unseen person.
