Li Qiang and his companions crossed into the Sea of Wronged Souls aboard a flying hook-chain, where they encountered a monstrous Taimeng Beast and watched an arrow boat break apart. Li Qiang and Hong Qian went out to rescue the survivors, and as Li Qiang returned with people in tow, Hong Qian cried for help.

• Princess Lanqiu showed Li Qiang and his companions around the flying hook-chain, and Lukali led the vessel out to sea with Labadu overseeing its defenses.
• The flying hook-chain encountered a Taimeng Beast, escaped beneath the waves, and then outran the beast using its ring defense, leaving an arrow boat to be destroyed.

• Li Qiang flew alone across the sea until he found an arrow boat, but its crew mistook him for a monster and tried to flee.
• Li Qiang opened the arrow boat’s hatch and entered, where four crewmen pointed spears at him.

• Li Qiang disarmed four crewmen, paid Zegu for passage, and asked for clothes; Zegu accepted him aboard and found him a berth.
• Li Qiang paid the crew for information and learned that the voyage took over a hundred days and that the boat stopped at Black Islet Reef, where he hoped to meet Zhao Hao and the others.

• Zegu steered around the reef and waited until dark before attempting to pass, but a raider trap caught the arrow boat and two others.
• Zegu ordered the defenses lowered and the boat to stop, while Li Qiang, having recovered his strength, stood up and prepared to watch the confrontation.

Li Qiang subdued the raiders who had seized Zegu’s arrow boat and learned that a strange man on Piled Bones Shoal had forced them to capture people. As the boats neared the shoal, eerie drums scattered the raiders’ boats and left Zegu’s arrow boat lost in fog, where Li Qiang began guiding it by a distant sound.

• Li Qiang endured the raiders’ blows, disarmed them, and forced one to explain that a strange man on Piled Bones Shoal had compelled them to capture a hundred people.
• Li Qiang made the raiders swallow bitter pills and ordered them to act as though nothing had happened, then returned their spine guns and forbade them from mistreating the crew or merchants.
• Zegu continued following the jiaomeng boats as the wind rose, and the group heard increasingly loud drumbeats near Piled Bones Shoal before the sounds stopped and the cabin fell into panic.
• Gentle drumbeats calmed everyone, but the jiaomeng boats disappeared, and Zegu realized the arrow boat had lost its way in the fog.
• Li Qiang ordered Zegu to stop and wait; when a strange sound came from the distance, Li Qiang directed the arrow boat first right, then left.

Li Qiang guided Zegu and the others through a dangerous fog and reef formation to a mysterious white mountain, where they reached a stone platform after their arrow boat was nearly destroyed. The group went ashore, finding the raiders’ jiaomeng boat empty and the mountain’s purpose still unknown.

• Li Qiang detected a huge sea monster beneath the fog, and its movements dragged the arrow boat underwater until Li Qiang used his power to help it surface.
• After the boat’s defenses and hull were badly damaged, Li Qiang flew above the fog, spotted a white mountain, and guided the boat toward it.
• Li Qiang recognized the reefs as part of a formation and told Zegu not to interfere as a current carried the boat safely through the shifting passage.
• The boat passed around a sheer cliff on a rapid current and reached a stone platform beside the empty jiaomeng boat.
• Li Qiang agreed to explore the platform, and Zegu led the crew, merchants, and raiders ashore.

Li Qiang and the arrow-boat passengers were teleported from Piled Bones Shoal to Heavenly Melody City, where the cultivators tested their ability to withstand music. Li Qiang helped Zegu pass the second test, but the group remained under the city’s control, and an unexpected visitor recognized Li Qiang at the end.

• Li Qiang identified the glowing pillars as a teleportation formation, and he and the passengers were transported to a white, plant-filled place near the sea.

• Wen Qiuli sent the survivors onward to a final test at Sparse Sound Hall, gave them hanging tokens, and arranged for them to receive Ice Hunger Fruit.
• Someone approached Li Qiang and recognized him, leaving him astonished and delighted.

Li Qiang reunited with Old Man Kabaji in Heavenly Melody City and was drawn into a test that revealed the city’s experts could not easily overcome the power protecting him. After freeing himself from the Coiling Silk String, he spoke in a language no one in the city understood, leaving the city lord stunned.

• Li Qiang promised to help Old Man Kabaji return home, then joined Zegu and the other silver-tagged people for a test at Sparse Sound Hall.
• The Heavenly Melody Grand Formation’s sonic attacks left Zegu unconscious, but Li Qiang remained inside as the Supreme Radiance Shuttle countered the city lord’s amplified music.
• The city lord intensified the formation’s assault with freezing mist and the Coiling Silk String, and Li Qiang let the strands bind him so he could leave the formation.
• After the city lord teleported him into Sparse Sound Hall, Li Qiang mocked her and claimed he could free himself from the Coiling Silk String.
• Li Qiang revealed Brilliant Swift Heavenly Fire, prompting the city lord to retrieve the Coiling Silk String, then spoke in his native language and stunned everyone.

Li Qiang learned that Heavenly Melody City was sealed and that reaching a secret chamber beneath the city might be the only way out. He agreed to descend into the ice eye, then joined the city lord and the others to inspect a Harmonizing Sound Fork needed to open the chamber.

• The city lord told Li Qiang that Heavenly Melody City’s people could not leave and explained that a secret chamber beneath the city held a way to break the seal.

• Piao Yuan warned that the Harmonizing Sound Fork had to match the ancestor’s Empty Sound Fork, and Li Qiang offered to help refine it before the group went to see Granduncle-Master Tianhong.

Li Qiang met Granduncle-Master Tianhong and discovered they shared a homeland, then revealed his connection to Fu Shan and the Chongxuan Sect. After Tianhong explained the Harmonizing Sound Fork and the Mysterious Domain Secret Chamber, Li Qiang began studying its sound sequences and listened as Tianhong played them.

• Lan Hainü brought Li Qiang and the others to meet Granduncle-Master Tianhong, who tested Li Qiang with a sound technique, but Li Qiang resisted and criticized Tianhong's artifact refining.
• Li Qiang learned Tianhong came from Jiujiang Commandery and named places from their homeland, prompting Tianhong to weep until Li Qiang and Lan Hainü stopped the sorrowful sound.
• Li Qiang identified himself as a disciple of the Chongxuan Sect and showed Tianhong the Soul-Releasing Dragon Ring, confirming that Fu Shan had brought him from their homeland.
• Tianhong explained the Mysterious Domain Secret Chamber and showed Li Qiang the Harmonizing Sound Fork; Li Qiang studied its sound-sequence methods and agreed to try refining it.
• Tianhong played the first sound sequence on the Whistling Arrow, then began the second, whose vibrations startled Li Qiang.

Li Qiang accidentally destroyed the Harmonizing Sound Fork while trying to refine it, but his Empty Sound Fork let Tianhong plan another descent into the Ice Eye, and Heavenly Melody City gave Li Qiang sea soul agate for his friend. As Li Qiang reunited with Zegu and Old Man Kabaji and promised Zegu a new arrow boat, two visitors arrived seeking his help to enter the Ice Eye.

• Li Qiang resisted the third melody with the Supreme Radiance Shuttle, then tried to refine the Harmonizing Sound Fork and accidentally reduced it to ashes.
• Li Qiang produced the Empty Sound Fork, which Tianhong recognized as his master's treasure, and gave it to him; Tianhong planned to descend into the Ice Eye with Li Qiang and Geng Feng.
• Li Qiang asked about sea soul agate for his friend, and the city lord gave him ten bottles of its essence and two bottles of Cold Marrow Scales spirit pills.
• Tianhong told Li Qiang to rest while Heavenly Melody City prepared to lift its restriction and explore the Ice Eye; Li Qiang then gave Tianhong two bottles of liquor from home.
• Li Qiang reunited with Zegu and Old Man Kabaji, assured them they could return to the Western Continent, and promised Zegu a new arrow boat.
• Two visitors arrived, and one asked Li Qiang to help her sister enter the Ice Eye.

Li Qiang joined Tianhong and Geng Feng in descending into Heavenly Melody City's ice eye, while Huang Yan secretly followed them and was allowed to stay close under Li Qiang’s protection. As they reached the ice cavern’s depths, Huang Yan’s exclamation disturbed the ice crystals and triggered a Mystic Cold Qi Tide that began closing in on them.

• Li Qiang welcomed Lan Xin and Huang Yan, then accidentally used a musical technique that enchanted the two women before they left to tell him the city lord would arrive.
• A silver-clad warrior summoned Li Qiang to the Hall of Taboos, where Tianhong opened the Forbidden Stone and Li Qiang descended into the ice eye with Tianhong and Geng Feng.
• Huang Yan jumped into the opening just before the Forbidden Stone sealed, and the city lord and Lan Xin were left waiting anxiously above.
• Tianhong scolded Huang Yan for following them, but Li Qiang agreed to protect her, and the group ate Three Yang Fruit before descending through the cold mist.
• Geng Feng fought an Ice Spirit Essence phantom, which Tianhong destroyed, and the group continued toward the frozen vortex surrounding the ice eye.
• Huang Yan exclaimed at the sight of the ice crystals, stirring up a Mystic Cold Qi Tide that began gathering around the group.

Li Qiang, Tianhong, Geng Feng, and Huang Yan crossed the sealed ice eye into the Azure Blue Pool, where they fought Mystic Ice Insects, encountered a powerful Mystic Ice Dragon, and collected Mystic Ice Essence. They reached the bottom and found the corpses of fallen warriors, leaving Huang Yan in tears.

• Tianhong, Li Qiang, and Geng Feng linked their flying swords and used Tianhong's Empty Sound Fork to break through the Mystic Cold Qi Tide, but the ice-eye entrance sealed behind them.
• Tianhong warned the group about the Azure Blue Pool's dangers, and Li Qiang used the Fire Essence to warm Huang Yan as they descended.
• Tianhong and Geng Feng fought the Mystic Ice Insects and Ice Spirit Essences while Li Qiang used heavenly fire to extract Mystic Ice Essence into a hot-water flask.
• A Mystic Ice Dragon appeared, and Tianhong warned everyone not to attack it; after it vanished, Geng Feng gave Huang Yan a box containing two Mystic Ice Insects.
• The group reached the bottom of the pool and found scattered remains and several armored corpses, making Huang Yan cry.

Li Qiang, Tianhong, and Geng Feng crossed the Ice Eye, fought off Ice Spirit Essences with Li Qiang’s Heavenly Fire, and entered the Mysterious Domain Secret Chamber inside the Mystic Suppression Pagoda. They were greeted by a mysterious old man who claimed he had broken through, leaving Tianhong trembling.

• Tianhong led Li Qiang, Geng Feng, and Huang Yan into a hidden garden, where they gathered rare plants and profound jade boxes.
• Li Qiang touched a white pearl on an ice pillar, teleported into a sealed room, and took a warm, black-purple cushion before returning to the garden.
• Tianhong told Huang Yan to wait in the garden, and she agreed after Li Qiang promised to find or make her a flying sword.
• Li Qiang used Heavenly Fire to destroy several Ice Spirit Essences, then helped Tianhong and Geng Feng break through the Mystic Qi into the Mysterious Domain Secret Chamber.
• The three entered the lowest level of the Mystic Suppression Pagoda, where a mysterious old man announced that he had broken through and Tianhong began to tremble.

Li Qiang, Tianhong, and Geng Feng became trapped on the pagoda’s first floor with a powerful loose immortal sealed above them, and they struggled to escape while taunting him and collecting the room’s Law Treasures. The man tricked them into pressing down the silver cauldron, freeing himself as he flew into the room.

• Tianhong found his master’s Jade Pupil Slip, but the trio failed to open the exit door and learned that the man above could not come downstairs either.
• Li Qiang stopped Geng Feng from following the man’s instructions to open the silver cauldron, and the trio realized the man was trying to trick them.
• Li Qiang used the Supreme Radiance Shuttle to break the Heaven-Descending Restriction protecting a water-blue flying sword, and the trio collected all six Law Treasures.
• The trio tried and failed to break the door’s restriction, while the man upstairs grew increasingly desperate and offered them rewards to release him.
• The man’s efforts shook the pagoda and made the silver cauldron turn, so Li Qiang and the others tried to hold it still.
• Geng Feng pressed down on the silver cauldron, opening a hole in the ceiling and allowing the loose immortal to descend into the room.
