Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun infiltrated Spirit Hall in Star Luo City. They tasked Ma Hongjun with distracting the guards at the entrance while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing snuck inside. However, they discovered that Spirit Hall was already empty, with its weapons burned. The fact that no one in the city was looking for Ma Hongjun suggested that Spirit Hall was too preoccupied to care. The three quickly decided to leave and report this information to the emperor.

They informed the Star Luo Emperor that the Spirit Hall in Star Luo City was empty, with no trace of the armor, spirit masters, or Chrysanthemum Douluo. Fearing that Spirit Hall might have ulterior motives against Star Luo, they requested the emperor to investigate. However, the emperor assured them that they need not worry about such matters and should focus on their cultivation. He explained that Duke Lingmao had already investigated the situation and found that all Spirit Hall branches were empty. When Ma Hongjun asked where Spirit Hall had gone, the emperor revealed that everyone from Spirit Hall had moved to Heaven Dou. The emperor expressed disinterest in interfering as long as it didn’t threaten Star Luo.

Dai Mubai argued that if Spirit Hall attacked Heaven Dou, it would inevitably affect Star Luo, but the emperor dismissed him, saying that whether Star Luo would suffer or benefit remained uncertain. He added that although Spirit Hall was strong, Heaven Dou was no pushover either. When Zhu Zhuqing tried to speak further, the emperor reminded her of the bet she and Dai Mubai had made long ago, urging them to focus on their own matters first. He also ordered guards to keep a close watch on Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, preventing them from leaving again.

Tang San's attempt to reclaim his heritage at the Clear Sky Clan was blocked by the elders. The Seventh Elder, whose son had died fighting Spirit Hall, held a deep grudge against Tang Hao, blaming him for the clan's decline and the deaths of its disciples. He declared that as Tang Hao’s son, Tang San was unworthy of standing within the Clear Sky Clan. When the Seventh Elder insulted Tang San’s mother, Tang San couldn’t hold back. Although he understood their resentment toward him, he refused to tolerate slander against his mother. Tang San challenged the Seventh Elder to a duel, demanding an apology for his mother if he won. The elders deemed this disrespectful, stating that Tang San had no right to challenge them unless he first defeated Tang Hu, the clan’s top disciple.

During the duel, Tang San revealed that he possessed twin spirits, a rarity seen only once in a century, as well as innate talents such as the Blue Silver Domain and the Asura Domain. This astonished the elders, and Tang San ultimately defeated Tang Hu, earning the right to challenge the Seventh Elder.

Before the duel, the Seventh Elder donned his late son’s armor, saying it was the only memory he had left of him. He declared that since Tang Hao refused to accept punishment, his son would have to bear it in his place. During the fight, Tang San displayed his external spirit bone, shocking the elders. Tang Yuehua explained that Tang San possessed three spirit bones, only one of which was inherited from his mother; the others he had earned through his own efforts. She added that Tang San had already surpassed Tang Hao in many aspects. To avoid damaging the Seventh Elder’s cherished armor, Tang San refrained from attacking and instead focused on defending against the Seventh Elder’s full-strength strike. As a result, Tang San fell into a valley.

Tang Xiao rushed to save Tang San, only to find that he was unharmed. Tang San used his flying ability to ascend from the valley. The Seventh Elder was stunned, remarking that anyone else would have suffered severe injuries or even death from such a strike. The Second Elder noted that Tang San could have used his flying ability earlier but refrained to protect the armor. He declared that the Seventh Elder had lost. The Seventh Elder conceded defeat, promising to personally apologize to Tang San and his mother once Tang San regained consciousness.

The elders agreed to let Tang San reclaim his heritage. However, before allowing him to pay respects to his grandfather, the Second Elder imposed three tasks:

Achieve a spirit power level of 80 within ten years.
Defeat a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall.
Obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring upon reaching level 80.
If Tang San completed these tasks, not only would he officially inherit his position in the clan, but they would also allow Tang Hao to return. Additionally, Tang San would become the clan’s next leader, with full authority over its decisions. Tang San accepted these conditions.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe discovered that someone had tampered with Emperor Heaven Dou’s medicine. He set up surveillance and caught the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, in the act. Cornered, Xue Beng had no choice but to consume the poison himself. Unable to find the tainted medicine, Xue Qinghe released Xue Beng.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Yu Xiaogang received a message from Dai Mubai regarding Spirit Hall’s mobilization of spirit masters to Heaven Dou. They rushed to the imperial palace to report this to the emperor but were intercepted by Xue Qinghe. The prince claimed the emperor was unavailable and promised to secure the palace gates. He asked them to assist in defense.

After Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang left, Xue Qinghe secretly ordered Porcupinefish Douluo to inform Spirit Hall to act quickly. Xue Beng, now poisoned, sought help from Poison Douluo to suppress the toxin. Knowing they had been exposed and could no longer swap the emperor’s medicine, Xue Beng acknowledged that the emperor might not survive until they developed a cure. He also confirmed his suspicions that Xue Qinghe was behind the plot.
