Ye Xiao arranged for the Ice Empress to kill Ye Yulin and rescue Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan while he and the Snow Empress searched the Far North for ten-thousand-year profound ice marrow. At the Snow Empress’s palace, they began treating the injured Wu Qingyao.
Ye Xiao discovered that his Intercepting Sword Technique could sever Soul Power and taught the Snow Empress, while the Ice Empress used his hidden sword Qi to kill Ye Yulin. As the Ice Empress received a map and guard manual from the Plane Consciousness and continued toward Mingdu, the heavenly screen revealed a poisonous swarm multiplying at the Ice and Fire Spring.
The sky screen showed Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er fleeing Star Dou Great Forest after Soul Beasts betrayed them following a reset of Gu Yuena’s level. As they set out to find Ye Xiao, the Divine Realm’s rulers considered how the future could threaten their relationship with him and questioned how Tang San had been able to descend to the lower realm.
Ye Xiao offered to create physical bodies for the Snow Empress and Ice Empress using Sword Qi, while the Heavenly Screen revealed their flirtatious future interactions. The Ice Empress insisted Ye Xiao examine her body to make a perfect fit, leaving him to suspect that she wanted him and the Snow Empress in her harem.
Ye Xiao tried to discuss his plans for Mingdu while the Ice Empress and Snow Empress misunderstood his teasing about observing their bodies. In the Divine Realm, Tang San proposed that their lower-realm forces befriend Ye Xiao, while he considered sending Tang Wutong down; Lin Huiqun vowed revenge on the Far North.
Ye Xiao planned to establish himself as lord of Sword Cloud City and spread martial cultivation before returning to the Far North with the Snow Empress. After Wu Qingyao woke and proposed cooperation for the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Xiao postponed the discussion; on the heavenly screen, Jing Hongchen objected to his rule only to urge him to become supreme sovereign.
Xu Lin punished Jing Hongchen by assigning him to oversee the execution of two prisoners, while Ye Xiao rejected the throne and delegated plans for governing and training the city. After learning that Ye Xishui had captured Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, Ye Xiao sought a map to her lair, and Ye Xishui prepared to make her own move against him.
Ye Xishui planned to lure Ye Guyi out by fabricating a lead about her father’s remains, hoping to use her to draw Ye Xiao into her hands. In the Far North, Ye Xiao offered to develop cultivation techniques for Soul Beasts and explained the risks of his sword-based methods; the Snow Empress asked what he could teach, and he began listing three methods.
Ye Xiao explained his techniques to the Snow Empress and Wu Qingyao, who both sought to learn from him, and agreed to exchange lessons with the Snow Empress. The chapter ended with an embarrassed Ye Guyi grabbing Ye Xiao and jumping into the lake with him.
After Ye Guyi kissed Ye Xiao underwater, the heavenly screen showed Ye Xiao planning to reshape the Ice and Snow Empresses’ bodies through a soul merge. Meanwhile, the Myriad Demon King contacted Di Tian with a proposal to avoid confronting Ye Xiao directly and exploit a conflict in the Sun Moon Empire.
Ye Xiao learned that the Sun Moon Empire planned to execute Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan and dispose of Ye Fu’s remains, forcing him to seek powerful allies. Gu Yuena agreed to help and promised to bring support to the Far North and protect the Ice Empress.
Gu Yuena agreed to rescue Ye Xiao’s friends and family from the Sun Moon Empire, and Ye Xiao realized her loss of divine power let her act beyond the sky screen’s restrictions. He prepared to retaliate against the empire, sent Wu Qingyao to find the Snow Empress, and agreed to the Demon Empress’s condition as he moved toward war.
Ye Xiao and the Snow Empress traveled toward Sun Moon, discussing allies, sword techniques, and ways to grow stronger. Meanwhile, the Ice Empress infiltrated a Sun Moon prison, where a jailer revealed that the advertised remains were a trap.
The Ice Empress tried to escape Mingdu Prison with Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen, but she and the Myriad Demon King were overwhelmed by Ye Xishui. Gu Yuena intervened, and the battles stopped when she revealed that the remains used as leverage were fake, leaving Ye Xishui desperate as a sinister presence approached.
Ye Xiao’s allies confronted Ye Xishui over Ye Fu’s remains, while the Sun Moon Empire attacked Mingdu and the Demon Empress turned the shells back on the city. Watching the destruction, Ye Xiao slipped into a cold, detached state until the Snow Empress pulled him out of it.
Ye Xiao stopped himself from losing his sense of self while comprehending the Dao, then created a rudimentary Sword Dao that the Snow Empress could also see. He and the Snow Empress entered Mingdu as Ye Xiao planned to strengthen the Sword Dao and prepare for a future level reset.
Ye Xiao reunited with Gu Yuena and the Soul Beasts after they helped capture Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, then confronted the pair over their attack on his family. He revealed that Long Xiaoyao had a child with Ye Xishui and now had a grandson, leaving Long Xiaoyao to choose what to do with that knowledge.
Ye Xiao forced Long Xiaoyao to reveal who had arranged Uncle Ye’s death, then killed him after learning Yan Shaozhe had tried to kill him. He planned to turn Ye Xishui into a cultivation aid before the sky screen began again, showing a scene of him leaving a bathroom while the Ice and Snow Emperors slept nearby.
The Heavenly Screen showed Ye Xiao’s future self meeting Gu Yuena and Gu Qiu’er, while his narrated thoughts enraged Gu Yuena by imagining her as his mount. In the present, Ye Xiao hid behind the Snow Empress as the gathered Soul Beasts tried to calm their furious lord.
Gu Yuena suppressed her anger at Ye Xiao after his subordinates persuaded her not to attack him, while the sky screen showed Ye Xiao demanding that she become his mount. Gu Yuena left to subdue the Evil Emperor, and the screen then showed Ye Xiao making Gu Qiu'er the same offer and promising to help her bloodline evolve.
Ye Xiao negotiated with Gu Yuena and the Soul Beasts, offering help with their future calamity in exchange for cooperation. After Gu Qiu'er's fortune suddenly fell, Gu Yuena agreed to his terms, and Di Tian offered Ye Xiao dragon body-tempering methods to aid his God Trial.
The sky screen showed Di Tian and Xiong Jun defending Star Dou from the True Sting Swarm before being devoured, deepening Gu Yuena’s fear of the coming disaster. As Shrek Academy considered the threat, Mu En ordered a delegation to Mingdu to seek the return of Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan and possibly improve relations with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao traveled to investigate the insect swarm threatening the Star Dou Great Forest while the Divine Realm gods feared it could spread across the Douluo Continent. He found the insects had already reached the Star Luo Empire and continued toward Star Dou, leaving the swarm’s full extent unknown.
Ye Xiao struggled to fight the Swarm Disaster alone, then devised the Sword Qi Loan to give people throughout Star Luo City the power to fight back. As the city’s residents received Sword Qi and the Proliferating Sword Art, Ye Xiao began using their response to develop a way for his Sword Qi to propagate.
