Zi Ji resolved to strengthen his body so he could raise a yang water ring to one hundred thousand years and eventually sacrifice herself as his fifth soul ring.

• Di Tian warned the Star Dou Great Forest’s soul beast clans not to harm Huo Yuhao, while rejecting Zi Ji’s offer to become Huo Yuhao’s fourth soul ring because he could not ensure a comparable yang water dragon ring.
• Huo Yuhao advanced his Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art toward its third realm and reached rank thirty-nine, with his second and third soul rings increasing in age.
• Zi Ji asked Huo Yuhao about Di Tian’s soul ring plan, and Huo Yuhao argued that taking a yang water ring first would preserve the balance and growth needed for his cultivation.
• Huo Yuhao said he could currently handle a dragon soul ring of roughly fifty to sixty thousand years and would need to reach Soul Emperor to raise his fourth ring to one hundred thousand years.
• Zi Ji offered to strengthen Huo Yuhao’s physical body and resolved to become his fifth soul ring if he could obtain a hundred-thousand-year yang water ring at the Soul King stage.

Di Tian accepted Zi Ji’s decision to eventually sacrifice herself for Huo Yuhao, while insisting she wait until his fourth soul ring reached the required strength. As Huo Yuhao studied imprinting and maintained careful, transactional ties with the Star Dou Great Forest’s beasts, Di Tian affirmed his caution but warned that some obligations could not be avoided.

• Zi Ji agreed to sacrifice herself for Huo Yuhao’s future, and Di Tian approved her choice while requiring her to wait until Huo Yuhao’s fourth soul ring reached the necessary level.

• Huo Yuhao asked Di Tian to save the survivors so they could extract information, then suggested exterminating the Holy Spirit Cult attackers.

Huo Yuhao and Di Tian tested whether the Holy Spirit Cult was connected to Long Xiaoyao by disguising Di Tian as the Dark Sacred Dragon. After the plan exposed Di Tian's identity, Huo Yuhao posed as Tang Yao of the Clear Sky Sect to gain the Sea God Island survivors’ trust, and they began telling him what had happened.

• Huo Yuhao explained that he wanted information from both the Sea God Island Soul Masters and the Holy Spirit Cult, and planned to use Di Tian’s Silver Dragon Scales to imitate Long Xiaoyao’s Dark Sacred Dragon.
• Di Tian manifested the Dark Sacred Dragon, and the Holy Spirit Cult members knelt and called him Chief Priest, confirming to Huo Yuhao that Long Xiaoyao was closely connected to the cult.

As they continued across the New Continent, Huo Yuhao worried that the Holy Spirit Cult and Tang San would grow stronger and resolved to strike at Tang San’s other allies first.

• Di Tian gave Huo Yuhao refined spiritual fruit energy, and Huo Yuhao recovered by drawing power from the earth and turning Ultimate Ice rain into a force of vitality.
• Huo Yuhao told Di Tian he planned to spread rumors about Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui to make people question Shrek Academy and Long Xiaoyao.

• Di Tian flew Huo Yuhao to inspect another soul beast king’s territory, and Huo Yuhao concluded there was no suitable Yang Water dragon soul beast there.
• Huo Yuhao recalled that Tang San had been injured by the Martial Scripture and resolved to kill Tang San’s other allies before Tang San recovered.
