Dugu Bo went to Suotuo City to retrieve Pang Dun but challenged Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei when they refused, leaving him trapped behind a poison barrier. Meanwhile, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect accepted Ning Fengzhi’s plan to submit to Senior, and Qian Xunji learned that the pill refiner was likely his daughter’s teacher.
Qian Xunji stayed in Suotuo City while Yue Guan and Gui Mei searched for Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong questioned Pang Dun about Jiang Nian. Jiang Nian returned to Suotuo City with his disciples and found that Dugu Bo had been captured, leaving Qian Renxue frightened as she faced an imminent reunion with Spirit Hall.
Jiang Nian returned to Suotuo City and confronted Qian Xunji, who had captured Pang Dun and Dugu Bo and demanded Jiang Nian’s loyalty and Ah Yin. After sending his disciples and Dugu Bo outside, Jiang Nian attacked Qian Xunji.
Jiang Nian overwhelmed Qian Xunji and Yue Guan, but held back from killing Qian Xunji after seeing Qian Renxue's hesitation. When Yue Guan and Gui Mei trapped him with their Two Extremes Stillness Domain, more Spirit Hall Titled Douluo arrived, and an unknown ally intervened.
Jiang Nian broke free of Qian Xunji’s domain, defeated Spirit Hall’s reinforcements, and stopped Qian Xunji from escaping. He revealed to Qian Renxue and the assembled fighters that Bibi Dong was her mother and that Qian Xunji had raped Bibi Dong, leaving the truth exposed before them.
Jiang Nian revealed that Qian Xunji had raped Bibi Dong and let Qian Renxue choose whether to remain in Spirit Hall or leave with him. Qian Renxue chose Jiang Nian, and as the group prepared to depart, Bibi Dong launched a surprise attack.
Jiang Nian stopped Bibi Dong’s attack and exposed Yu Xiaogang’s cruel words through a recording, destroying her belief in their love. Bibi Dong died from her wounds, and Jiang Nian took her body away after Qian Renxue called her mother.
Jiang Nian cared for the still-comatose Bibi Dong while Qian Renxue recovered at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and he reassured his disciples that he would not stop them from choosing partners with good character. After Dugu Bo recovered and left, Jiang Nian set out with Qian Renxue and Ah Yin for the Star Dou Great Forest, bringing Bibi Dong along in his spatial world.
Jiang Nian learned about Spirit Hall’s falling reputation as Yu Xiaogang plotted to find Bibi Dong, while Qian Daoliu ordered a plan to restore the organization’s standing. In the Star Dou Great Forest, Tang Hao continued enduring life with Ah Hua in hopes of obtaining a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Jiang Nian took Qian Renxue and Ah Yin into the Star Dou Forest, where Ah Yin chose a powerful plant Soul Beast for her Seventh Soul Ring. He taught both disciples to use Dou Qi and assigned them new training, leaving Qian Renxue to wield a Heavy Xuan Ruler and Ah Yin to practice a healing and offensive Dou Technique.
While Qian Renxue trained in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ah Yin encountered Tang Hao and toyed with his belief that Flash Step was a powerful movement technique. Jiang Nian rescued her from Tang Hao, and Ah Yin proposed spreading the false reputation of Flash Step through the Clear Sky Sect.
Ah Yin absorbed a sixty-thousand-year Soul Ring and transformed her Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul into the Blue Silver Divine Tree, drawing attention from forces across the continent. Yu Xiaogang arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest hoping to reach Bibi Dong, while Tang Hao sensed Ah Yin and resolved to kill her.
Ah Yin completed her Martial Soul transformation, became a level 74 Soul Saint, and began absorbing nutrients from the Ghost Vine Dragon Serpent Tree. When Tang Hao ambushed her for her Soul Ring, she fought back with her evolved Blue Silver Divine Tree and unleashed her Seventh Soul Skill, Advent of the Tree World.
Jiang Nian saved Ah Yin from Tang Hao, killed Tang Hao, and helped Qian Renxue absorb a Soul Ring that strengthened her Martial Soul. As Jiang Nian prepared to take his disciples to Heaven Dou City, an unidentified Soul Beast confronted him over Ah Yin’s enslavement.
Jiang Nian brought Bibi Dong to the Lake of Life, where Gu Yuena entered her dream to wake her and asked how he had helped Ah Yin connect with Douluo Star’s leylines. As Bibi Dong began to awaken, Yu Xiaogang urged Huyan An to attack Qian Renxue, but Bibi Dong appeared in front of her daughter and prepared to confront him.
After awakening, Bibi Dong rejected Yu Xiaogang and left him poisoned, then followed Jiang Nian after he fought Di Tian to a draw. At the Lake of Life, Gu Yuena punished Di Tian and questioned whether her desire to revive the Dragon God was truly her own.
Jiang Nian returned to Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue and Ah Yin, arranged for his disciples to compete in the Soul Fighting Arena, and gave Dugu Bo resources for his family. Ah Yin asked Bibi Dong how to get closer to Jiang Nian, mistook her warning for encouragement to end their master-disciple relationship, and left Bibi Dong aghast.
