As the Ice Dragon King proposed that Xuan Ming absorb the valley’s reformed lightning energy core, Yu Yuanzhen arrived outside the valley and Xuan Ming faced a dangerous new attempt.

• The Ice Dragon King explained that a failed breakthrough to the God Realm may have destroyed the valley’s lightning energy core, while Xuan Ming and Ah Yin prepared to take the Thundering Hell Vine’s Soul Ring.

• Bibi Dong told Qian Renxue that Xuan Ming was owed what had been promised and warned her not to pressure him into swallowing his anger again.
• Qian Renxue worried that Xuan Ming’s turn toward Spirit Hall would make the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Seven Great Families oppose him, but Bibi Dong said he understood the danger.
• Xuan Ming returned to Heaven Dou City, delivered gifts to Ning Rongrong at Shrek Academy, and traveled to Hu Liena’s room at the Martial Soul Holy Temple.
• Hu Liena pulled Xuan Ming into her room and asked why he had taken so long to visit after Bibi Dong returned.
