Yang Wudi and Niu Gao defeated Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, leaving Spirit Hall’s two Titled Douluos badly injured and challenging Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo to a rematch in ten years. As the clansmen considered the future and their training, Yang Podi reflected on Niu Jinfeng’s evolved Martial Soul and her family’s hopes for another child.

• Yang Wudi and Niu Gao recovered in their carriage and told Yang Zhentian and Niu Jinfeng that they would be responsible for defeating Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo in ten years.
• Yang Podi considered that Niu Jinfeng was the most gifted among the elders because her Martial Soul had evolved into a Primordial Dragon Rhinoceros, and recalled that his maternal grandfather hoped she would have another child.

Yang Podi and the clan elders planned to move the Breaking Clan and Defense Clan to Mount Aermo, where they would establish a city, academy, and outer sect.

Meanwhile, secret cultivation manuals stirred the Soul Master world, and Prince Xue Beng’s attempt to recruit the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny ended with Dugu Bo severing ties with Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng losing political support.

• Yang Podi and his companions reached Monai City, then traveled to Mount Aermo, where Niu Gao planned the clans’ academy, residences, cultivation areas, defenses, and escape routes.
• Yang Podi and the other children began cultivating on the summit as clan members moved north; Niu Gao used his marquis appointment to take over Monai City and begin its expansion.

• Dugu Bo fell out with Prince Xue Xing after Prince Xue Beng tried to force himself on Meng Yiran and Dugu Bo fought the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny.
• Prince Xue Xing realized Xue Beng had been manipulated into using up Dugu Bo’s favor and incurring a debt to Spirit Hall, leaving Xue Beng with little hope of competing for the throne.

Prince Xue Beng was warned to keep a low profile while Spirit Hall and the continent’s major factions investigated and began using secret manuals sold across the world. The manuals’ spread damaged the Tang Sect’s business, while Tang San remained unaware that its techniques had become widely available.

• Prince Xue Xing reassured Xue Beng that he still had a chance but warned him not to cause more trouble.

• Yang Podi taught the original Mysterious Heaven Skill to selected clan members and prepared a restricted five-level version for other disciples.
• Yang Podi continued cultivating to increase his Soul Power.

Yang Podi explained the Mysterious Heaven Skill’s cultivation benefits as Heavenly Pursuit Academy prepared to open, then challenged seven younger fighters to teach them the realities of lethal combat. He unleashed Divine Slaughter’s Domain and targeted Ye Lingling, while Yang Ping'an and Niu Meng countered with Soul Bone Skills.

• Yang Podi described how the Mysterious Heaven Skill improved Soul Power and meridian circulation, and noted that Niu Meng cultivated it faster than the others.
• Yang Podi reached the peak of level sixty-nine as Heavenly Pursuit Academy completed its construction and prepared to admit about four hundred students from the Mount Aermo region.

• Yang Podi gave medicinal herbs to the others and began recovering before attempting to absorb the Soul Ring.

• Yang Podi's group searched for over ten days before finding the Blue Silver Forest, where they sensed a powerful but hidden Soul Beast.

• Yang Podi offered a Soul Explosion Pill and swore on his Martial Soul to secure the king's cooperation, while Yang Wushuang and the others watched him bluff.

Yang Podi helped the Blue Silver King reach a hundred-thousand-year transformation, then received his sacrifice as the Body Martial Soul’s first Soul Ring. After relocating the Blue Silver Emperor’s seed and clan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Yang Podi set out for Heaven Dou City with new healing and control abilities.

• Yang Podi summoned his hundred-thousand-year Tool Soul Avatar and killed the two Soul Saints, then pierced the fleeing Second Elder's defenses and killed him.

• Yue Guan confirmed that the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower could greatly benefit Qian Renxue, but he and the others could not determine the Shroud’s true function.
• After learning Yang Zhentian and Dugu Bo were also in Heaven Dou City, Xue Qinghe ordered that the trade proceed without conflict.

Yang Podi traded the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, then discussed the Breaking Clan’s stance and its enemies with Ning Fengzhi. He left Heaven Dou City with Yang Zhentian, who supported his killing of the Elephant Armor Sect’s second elder, and they flew toward Mount Aermo.

• Yang Podi tried to claim the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but a white bat mark repelled its power and a blood-red figure warned him not to be insatiably greedy; he could not claim it.
• The Sea God confronted the Asura God over Yang Podi, and the Asura God explained that Yang Podi’s two Martial Souls shared the Divine Slaughter’s Domain but that he was not yet qualified for a divine trial.
• Yang Podi concluded that someone in his clan needed an inheritance to protect them in the coming war, while Yang Ping'an and his six companions approached the last bandit gang in their fief.
• The Black Cloud Stronghold leader used his Lion Demon Hound Martial Soul to expose the seven and encircled them with more than a hundred Soul Masters.
• Dugu Yan spread poison as Yang Ping'an, Yang Tianyue, Niu Meng, and the others attacked; Yang Tianyue used her External Soul Bone to kill the bandit leader when he tried to ambush her.
• Yang Ping'an and his companions killed nearly everyone at Black Cloud Stronghold, and Yang Wuju watched approvingly as Yang Ping'an set the stronghold ablaze.

Yang Tianyue bonded with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and was chosen to inherit the Sea God, but the inheritance required her to reach Sea God Island within a year or die. Yang Podi worried that she was too weak to survive the trials, while the Sea God revealed that he expected Yang Podi to help her pass them.

• After the family returned to Mount Aermo, Yang Podi gathered the family’s core members and revealed that he had traded for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, an artifact tied to the Sea God’s inheritance.
• The family tested the artifact with their blood, and it reacted faintly to Ye Lingling before attaching itself to Yang Tianyue and draining her Soul Power until she lost consciousness.
• Yang Podi explained that the artifact had likely chosen Yang Tianyue, but feared the Sea God’s trials would be fatal for her because she lacked Tang San’s strength and advantages.
• Yang Tianyue woke and said the Sea God had ordered her to go to Sea God Island within a year, warning that the artifact would destroy her soul if she refused.
• The Sea God told Asura God that he would not make the trials easier, expecting Yang Podi to find a way to help his younger sister pass them.
