Xu Qianqian traded a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone for a Black Potential Potion, while Meng Qianqiu’s group gained strength from their potions.

There, Meng Qianqiu found a Golden Hawksbill Turtle King that he believed might be a hundred-thousand-year beast and prepared to subdue it as a soul pet.

After reaching Level 90, Meng Qianqiu chose a God-Given Soul Ring instead of risking a hunt for the Scarlet King. The ring grew to 480,000 years, raised him to Level 93, and helped him break through to Titled Douluo, leaving Spirit Hall's elders stunned by his rapid growth.

• Meng Qianqiu gave six ten-thousand-year medicinal herb kings to his followers and urged them to cultivate quickly.

Meng Qianqiu planned to cultivate his Second Martial Soul and promised to help his followers advance, leaving them preparing for a journey to the Far North Ice Plains.

• Meng Qianqiu explained that the Far North Ice Plains was safer than the Star Dou Great Forest and suited Tuoba Xuanfeng’s Storm Greatsword Martial Soul.
• Meng Qianqiu revealed that they planned to hunt an injured Hundred-Thousand-Year Ice Luan recovering as a giant ice-crystal egg.

• Meng Qianqiu showed the Snow Empress his four red Soul Rings, including a four-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year ring, and acknowledged that he could be called a god’s inheritor.

• Meng Qianqiu told the Snow Empress that his four hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings made him powerful enough to hunt almost any Soul Beast, then agreed not to harm the Ice Luan.
• The Snow Empress led Meng Qianqiu and Tuoba Xuanfeng to the nearly two-hundred-thousand-year-old Ice-Splitting Sparrow, the Ice Luan’s ancestor.
• The Ice-Splitting Sparrow began a sacrifice ritual for Tuoba Xuanfeng, giving up its life and forming a Soul Ring nearly two hundred thousand years old.
• Tuoba Xuanfeng absorbed the Soul Ring, advanced to Level 92, and became a Titled Douluo.
• The Snow Empress asked Meng Qianqiu to leave, and he departed with Tuoba Xuanfeng, who now feared and served him loyally.

Meng Qianqiu returned to Spirit Hall with Tuoba Xuanfeng, whose voluntary sacrifice from a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast had earned him a red ninth Soul Ring and the promise of becoming an elder. As the news spread, Tang Chen decided to pursue godhood after Tang Zhen reached Titled Douluo.

• Qian Daoliu told Golden Crocodile Douluo that powerful Soul Beasts could be found beyond the Star Dou Great Forest, including in the Far North and the seas.
• Tang Chen resolved to settle the Clear Sky Sect's affairs and seek godhood once Tang Zhen became a Titled Douluo.
