Huo Yuhao arrived at Knight Sacred Mountain to seek a mount partner and met the elderly guardian who assessed his credentials and abilities. The guardian warned him that few mounts there would suit him, then sent him into the mountain with a token granting thirty days of access.

• Huo Yuhao climbed Knight Sacred Mountain on foot, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed a powerful formation and found no ice-attribute magical beasts nearby.
• Huo Yuhao and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm discussed relying on the ancient teleportation array and possibly searching for a suitable beast on Douluo Continent.

• The guardian gave Huo Yuhao a token for thirty days on the mountain, explained that he could also use the grand teleportation array, and sent him inside.

After finding no suitable mount on the Knight Sacred Mountain, Huo Yuhao joined five powerful, injured elders at an ancient teleportation array. They prepared to send him to another world to seek a magical beast partner, but warned that he could remain there for no longer than the time it took an incense stick to burn.

• Huo Yuhao explored the Knight Sacred Mountain for half a month but found no mount suited to his ice attribute.

• Huo Yuhao greeted the elders, recovered his strength through meditation, and prepared to enter the array.
• One-armed elder warned Huo Yuhao that he had to return within the time it took an incense stick to burn, and the elders began preparing to activate the array.

Huo Yuhao searched the magical-beast realm for a suitable partner while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm helped him. Near the end of his strength, he found a powerful, multicolored ice-attribute presence that felt familiar and reached out to it.

• The five elders activated the teleportation array, sending Huo Yuhao's soul into a world where each point of light represented a magical beast.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm joined Huo Yuhao's search, but they rejected a destruction-attribute beast and numerous other candidates for weak bloodlines, poor compatibility, or unsuitable attributes.
• Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Power dwindled as the search dragged on, and the five elders watched gravely without interrupting him.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed a familiar aura ahead, and Huo Yuhao found a powerful, multicolored point of light with the ice attribute and immense Spiritual Power.
• Huo Yuhao wondered whether the presence was an old acquaintance or an enemy, then directed his Spiritual Power toward it.

Huo Yuhao formed an Equal Contract with the Silver Dragon King, who appeared on the Holy Demon Continent as a weakened little girl named Gu Yuena. After she collapsed from exhaustion, the elders examined her and found her condition serious.

• Huo Yuhao recognized the mysterious voice as the Silver Dragon King and considered the benefits of making an Equal Contract with her.
• Gu Yuena told Di Tian to keep the Soul Beasts restrained while she entered deep seclusion, and he agreed to follow her instructions.
• The five elders maintained the teleportation array until Huo Yuhao completed his contract, and Gu Yuena appeared before him as a little girl.
• Gu Yuena introduced herself to Huo Yuhao, then collapsed, and he caught her before she hit the ground.
• Huo Yuhao stopped the elders from intervening by explaining that Gu Yuena was a magical beast in human form, but their Spiritual Energy examination left them grave.

Huo Yuhao risked his life to save Gu Yuena by exchanging blood so her body could adapt to the Holy Demon Continent. Gu Yuena awakened, advanced three levels, and returned some of her blood to him before they both collapsed and the elders treated them.

• The elders explained that Gu Yuena could survive only if Huo Yuhao used their Equal Contract to replace at least a third of her blood with his, severely depleting his vitality.
• Huo Yuhao agreed to the exchange, and the elders activated the contract as he cut his wrist and dripped blood into it.
• Gu Yuena's color and breathing improved, while six-colored light appeared on the contract and Huo Yuhao's blood loss passed thirty percent.
• Gu Yuena awakened as Huo Yuhao neared fifty percent blood loss, absorbed spiritual energy, and rose three levels to become a second-tier professional.
• Gu Yuena cut her wrist and used the contract to give blood back to Huo Yuhao, then fainted into his arms; the elders treated them both and let them rest.

While unconscious, Huo Yuhao explored changes in his Sea of Consciousness and learned that the Silver Dragon King’s blood transfusion had given him affinity with six basic elements. He planned to ask her to apologize to the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and teach him magic, but whether she would agree remained uncertain.

• Huo Yuhao discovered five new colors merging into the blue-gold region of his Sea of Consciousness, and the sleeping Ice Empress, Snow Empress, Evil Emperor, Xiao Bai, Ba Jiao, and Li Ya were awakening faster.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm revealed that the Silver Dragon King had absorbed more than ninety percent of his cultivation and life origins, explaining why she had seemed familiar.
• Huo Yuhao promised to ask the Silver Dragon King to apologize, while the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm urged him not to risk their Equal Contract over the matter.
• The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained that the Silver Dragon King’s elemental blood transfusion had given Huo Yuhao affinity with six basic elements, though his physique had changed little.
• Huo Yuhao realized the Silver Dragon King could guide him in learning the other five types of magic, but wondered whether she would be willing.

After waking in the cave, Huo Yuhao discovered that his Spiritual Core now contained all six attributes and worried about balancing them. Gu Yuena offered to help with her blood, but Huo Yuhao refused and explained the Equal Contract and the conflict between humans and Soul Beasts; he promised to teach her about the Holy Demon Continent and left her to learn how to live among humans.

• Huo Yuhao woke in the cave with Gu Yuena asleep on his chest and found that his Spiritual Core had changed to contain six attributes.
• Gu Yuena warned Huo Yuhao that balancing all six attributes would slow his cultivation and offered to help if he told her about the Holy Demon Continent and relations between Soul Beasts and humans.
• Huo Yuhao said humans and Soul Beasts could cooperate and suggested that Spirit Pagoda Soul Rings might eventually let human Soul Masters avoid taking physical Soul Rings.
• Gu Yuena offered her blood as a way to balance Huo Yuhao's attributes, but he refused because their Equal Contract meant the transfusion would harm her origin.
• Huo Yuhao explained that humans and Soul Beasts both sought to use one another as resources, then promised to teach Gu Yuena about the continent and told her to observe and learn while living among humans.
