Ji Wuchang watched the Ice and Snow Sect’s competition while remaining wary of the Dark Night Gate and the sect’s Supreme-protected summit. The contest stopped when Supreme Daxuan appeared in the sky and demanded that Yin Shanghe come out, leaving Yin Zhiqing and the other Supremes facing the return of an enemy believed to have died.

Supreme Daxuan interrupted the Ice and Snow Sect’s competition, then the Myriad Souls Hall arrived and demanded the sect submit as part of its plan to unify Mang Province. Yin Zhiqing refused to decide without consulting the absent ancestor, and the chapter left a battle seeming inevitable.

• Supreme Daxuan appeared and threatened to destroy the Ice and Snow Sect unless Yin Shanghe came out, while Ji Yaoyao warned Ji Wuchang about his strength.

• Wengu Qingyang swallowed two fleeing Primordial Spirits, rising from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm fifth level to the sixth and then increasing his presence further.

Ji Wuchang copied Yin Zhiqing’s Ice Barbarian Battle Body Instruction as the Ice and Snow Sect battled the Myriad Souls Hall. Wengu Qingyang unleashed a terrifying auxiliary Myriad Souls Banner, and Ji Wuchang learned that Wengu was likely one of the Hall’s three young masters.

• Ji Yaoyao told Ji Wuchang that three auxiliary banners had been tempered from the main banner and could unleash Quasi-Saint Weapon power when wielded by Supreme Realm Ninth Level experts.

The Myriad Souls Hall attacked the Ice and Snow Sect, but its banner was checked by the sect's ancestor, triggering a fierce battle. Ji Yaoyao identified the ancient tomb as likely connected to an Ancient Saint and warned Ji Wuchang that the Myriad Souls Hall might bring in more experts to seize its passage.

• Ji Wuchang asked how to kill Wengu Qingyang quietly, and Ji Yaoyao warned him against provoking the Myriad Souls Hall.

The Ice and Snow Sect fought back against the Myriad Souls Hall, but Wengu Qingyang used the Myriad Souls Banner to destroy their ancestor’s phantom and slaughter their cultivators. After Yin Xiaofeng sacrificed himself and Yin Shaofan tried to kill Wengu Qingyang, an old woman revealed Supreme Realm Fourth Level power, leaving the battlefield in despair.

• Long Yanshuang, Yi Nixue, and Yin Shaofan fought Myriad Souls Hall cultivators as reinforcements from Snow River City helped the Ice and Snow Sect gain the upper hand.
• Wengu Qingyang activated the Myriad Souls Banner’s Myriad Souls Eye, dissipated the Ice and Snow Sect’s ancestor phantom, and killed several Celestial Phenomenon Realm and Dao Severing Realm cultivators.

• Yi Nixue told Yin Shaofan to kill Wengu Qingyang, and Yin Shaofan sent an ancestor’s freezing bead toward him.
• An old woman beside Wengu Qingyang crushed the bead and unleashed Supreme Realm Fourth Level pressure, killing nearby cultivators and forcing the battlefield to retreat in despair.

The Myriad Souls Hall threatened Mang Province’s three faction ancestors with its Supreme Realm fifth-level expert and demanded their surrender. Amid the standoff, Yi Nixue identified Ji Wuchang and guessed he had come for the Ice and Snow Sect’s teleportation array; the ancestors rejected the demand and asked for another condition.

• Ji Wuchang and the gathered factions were shaken when another Supreme appeared beside Wengu Qingyang, but the ancestors of the Thousand Mortals Sect, the Ice and Snow Sect, and the Cold Twin Gate arrived to challenge the Myriad Souls Hall.
• Wengu Qingyang demanded the ancestors submit, then summoned the Myriad Souls Hall’s Fifth Elder, whose Supreme Realm fifth-level pressure stopped the fighting and forced both sides to gather with their allies.
• Ji Wuchang retreated into the crowd and exchanged voice transmissions with Yi Nixue, who recognized him as Jiang Qiye and guessed he had come for the Ice and Snow Sect’s teleportation array.
• The Fifth Elder recalled the Myriad Souls Banner and renewed the demand that the ancestors surrender or be captured in it.
• The Ice and Snow Sect’s ancestor refused to accept the terms and demanded another offer.

The Myriad Souls Hall’s Supreme Realm fifth-level expert trapped the Ice and Snow Sect, Cold Twin Gate, and Thousand Mortals Sect ancestors inside the Myriad Souls Banner, where they struggled against its remnant souls. Supreme Daxuan revealed that the Hall controlled him with a Puppet Mark, then turned on Wengu Qingyang after being denied his freedom, drawing a threat from Wengu Qingyang’s burly guard.

• The Myriad Souls Hall expert attacked the three sect ancestors with the Myriad Souls Banner, and they joined forces to resist its enormous red skull.

• Wengu Qingyang refused unless Supreme Daxuan killed the man surnamed Yin, accusing him of holding back in their earlier fight.
• Supreme Daxuan charged at Wengu Qingyang, and the burly man beside him revealed his Supreme Realm fourth-level pressure and challenged him.

Supreme Daxuan attacked Wengu Qingyang and unleashed Supreme Disintegration, killing a Supreme Realm fourth-level cultivator and leaving Wengu Qingyang and his burly protector badly injured. The battle continued as the Ice and Snow Sect’s ancestors fought the Myriad Souls Hall’s Supreme Realm fifth-level cultivator.

• A burly Supreme appeared beside Wengu Qingyang and attacked Supreme Daxuan with an enormous iron staff, while Supreme Daxuan countered with his saber.

• The Myriad Souls Hall’s fifth-level Supreme swept Wengu Qingyang and the burly man from the mushroom cloud with the Myriad Souls Banner, then battled three sect ancestors.
• Yin Zhiqing used a Supreme Weapon handkerchief to shield the Ice and Snow Sect from the blast, while Wengu Qingyang and the burly man emerged grievously wounded.

Yin Zhiqing and the Ice and Snow Sect’s allies pressed their attack after Supreme Daxuan’s self-detonation weakened the Myriad Souls Hall, while Ji Wuchang killed several enemies and prepared to target Wengu Qingyang. The Cold Twin Gate arrived to reinforce the Ice and Snow Sect, but a concealed Myriad Souls Hall Supreme joined the fight against its master.

• A concealed Myriad Souls Hall Supreme Realm first level cultivator joined Wengu Qingyang’s guard and attacked the Cold Twin Gate’s master.

Ji Wuchang searched the Ice and Snow Sect's main hall for a teleportation array and found it behind a barrier in the forbidden grounds, beside a powerful chained beast. He negotiated with the beast for safe passage, and it agreed as the battle outside continued to favor Myriad Souls Hall.

• Ji Wuchang absorbed a wisp of Supreme presence into his earthenware jar and searched the main hall for a way out of Mang Province.
• Ji Yaoyao sensed a teleportation array behind a barrier and warned Ji Wuchang that a beast as powerful as a human Supreme Realm cultivator was nearby.
• Ji Wuchang entered the forbidden grounds, where the Glacial Glazed Fire devoured the extreme cold Qi surrounding him.
• Ji Wuchang found a chained beast beside the frigid pool and learned from Ji Yaoyao that the teleportation array lay behind it.
• Ji Wuchang offered to free the beast in exchange for its promise not to attack him, and the beast nodded.

Ji Wuchang and Ji Yaoyao prepared to free the ferocious beast by melting its rule-bound chains while repairing the teleportation formation. As the Glacial Glazed Fire drew in the pool’s cold Qi, Ji Wuchang endured an intense battle of heat and cold inside his body and discovered that it was strengthening his physique.

• Ji Wuchang used a puppet clone to approach the freezing pool while his true body hid a thousand zhang away, and Ji Yaoyao shielded the clone with her soul power.
• Ji Yaoyao explained that she could sever the four rule-power chains or Ji Wuchang could melt them with the Glacial Glazed Fire, and she warned that the teleportation formation also needed repairs.
• Ji Wuchang chose to melt the chains and repair the formation at the same time, fearing that stronger members of the Myriad Souls Hall would soon arrive.
• Ji Wuchang spoke to the ferocious beast, which withdrew its pressure and allowed him to proceed.
• Ji Wuchang sent the Glacial Glazed Fire to the pool as Ji Yaoyao began repairing the teleportation formation, and the flame enveloped the four chains and devoured the cold Qi.
• Ji Wuchang circulated the purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art as the cold and heat surged through his body, forming a painful internal battle that left his physique growing stronger.
