• Gu Shengge led Snow Empress and Ice Empress to the hidden ice-crystal palace deep beneath the Far North.

Gu Shengge awakened three Martial Souls: a Five-clawed Golden Dragon and two blades with powers over cause and effect and reincarnation.

He then consumed a pill refined from nine-grade purple ganoderma, which dramatically enhanced his Martial Soul, soul power, and physical body.
