Yan Shaozhe learned that Jiang Yi’s Blue Silver Grass had a sacred attribute that might suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire, and Mu En advised him to seek both students’ consent. Jiang Yi became a core disciple and received a Mystic Water Pill from Bei Bei, while Ma Xiaotao struggled to control her Evil Fire.

Jiang Yi used a Mystic Water Pill to improve his cultivation and spiritual power, then met Yan Shaozhe, who asked him to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire. Jiang Yi agreed in principle but demanded a large bundle of cultivation resources, leaving Yan Shaozhe shocked and trying to restrain his anger.

• Yan Shaozhe was stunned by Jiang Yi’s demand and held back his anger, remembering Mu En’s advice to meet Jiang Yi’s requests.

Jiang Yi secured medicinal resources from Yan Shaozhe and later received them from Du Weilun before being summoned to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her Evil Fire. At the Inner Court, Ma Xiaotao brought him to a cultivation room, where he began his treatment by binding her with Blue Silver Grass.

• Yan Shaozhe agreed to give Jiang Yi pills, Whale Rubber, one piece of Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, and medicinal herbs in exchange for his help with Ma Xiaotao.

• Jiang Yi used his Blue Silver Grass and divine power to suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire, enduring its flames until he earned the Wood and Fire Illumination achievement.

• Jiang Yi finished refining Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue while Ma Xiaotao stood guard, then thanked her and returned to the outer court.
• Jiang Yi used Mystic Water Pills, Soul Ascension Pills, and Whale Rubber to improve his cultivation and physical limits, reaching level twenty and setting a goal of enduring a five-thousand-year Soul Ring.
• Jiang Yi took seven days off and went with Jiang Nannan to Blackwater Lake to attempt extreme training at the lake's deep bottom.
• Jiang Yi tied a Blue Silver vine around his waist and descended to the bottom of the lake, where he cultivated against the crushing pressure.
• Jiang Yi's Soul Power ran out, lake water filled his nose and mouth, and a sudden power surged within him as he neared death.

After earning the Abyssal Baptism achievement through extreme training, Jiang Yi paused his lake training and went to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her Evil Fire again. He converted the flames into life force, leaving Elder Zhuang puzzled by the sudden surge of life energy.

• Jiang Yi completed seven days of extreme training and earned Abyssal Baptism, which temporarily boosted his physical attributes and spiritual power when he reached his limits.
• Jiang Yi stopped extreme training because it left him unable to do anything else for the rest of the day, and he decided to resume only when it could help him achieve a Second Awakening.
• Ma Xiaotao invited Jiang Yi to suppress her Evil Fire, and he met Elder Zhuang when he arrived at the inner court.
• Jiang Yi and Ma Xiaotao repeated the suppression process, but her Evil Fire erupted and its flames were absorbed by Jiang Yi's Blue Silver Grass.
• Jiang Yi used life force to break down Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire and absorb it, while Elder Zhuang sensed the sudden appearance of life force outside the room.

• Elder Zhuang told Yan Shaozhe that Jiang Yi could suppress Ma Xiaotao’s Evil Fire without harming her, then asked what Yan Shaozhe had learned about Jiang Yi’s background.

After learning to control life force, Jiang Yi prepared to obtain his Second Soul Ring and traveled ahead to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt ten thousand-year Soul Beasts for the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Collector.

He asked his teacher to help him obtain a roughly 4,400-year Unceasing Earth Lotus for his Second Soul Ring, and Li Lingyu agreed to help.

Jiang Yi and Li Lingyu searched the Star Dou Great Forest for an Unceasing Earth Lotus, and Jiang Yi found one by sensing its pulse of vitality. After Li Lingyu exposed its main root, Jiang Yi leaped into the hole and attacked it with his Soul Tool, Rouge.

• Jiang Yi and Li Lingyu tried to use a Mystic Spirit Rhinoceros inner core at several places where Earth Lotuses had appeared, but found nothing.
• Jiang Yi sensed a strong pulse of vitality at a new location and told Li Lingyu they had found an Unceasing Earth Lotus.
• Li Lingyu drew out the roughly forty-two-hundred-year-old Earth Lotus and used his Storm Strangulation Soul Skill to destroy its surface growth.
• Jiang Yi listened for the main root’s pulse, then guided Li Lingyu to blast a path through the Earth Lotuses and expose the root.
• Jiang Yi ran down into the hole with the Soul Tool Rouge and thrust it toward the main root as the Earth Lotus reacted violently.

Jiang Yi fused with the Unceasing Earth Lotus’s Soul Ring after Li Lingyu helped destroy its main root, surviving the dangerous process when High-Pressure State activated.

• Tang Ya followed the smell of the grilled fish to Huo Yuhao, who recognized Jiang Yi and returned the umbrella Jiang Yi had given him.
• Huo Yuhao gave Tang Ya a grilled fish, and the group gathered to eat as his remaining fish began to burn.

Jiang Yi pursued Huo Yuhao into the Star Dou Great Forest, where the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm fused with Huo Yuhao and Electrolux was drawn to Jiang Yi’s holy power. Electrolux entered Jiang Yi and helped him form a Sea of Consciousness, and Jiang Yi later awoke inside it and assessed his spiritual power.
