| Yoh's group enters into the first of ten "Plants" from Mu, with only 15 hours before Hao awakes as Shaman King. In the Plant of the Desert, they are confronted by the priest Namari, who fights and kills Ryu, leaving Ren and Horohoro to finish him off. After Faust revives Ryu, the group moves to the 2nd Plant, where they are ambushed and ensnared by the officiant Bron, who kills Ren and Horohoro. Jeanne avoids capture from being in her Iron Maiden and fights back until Lyserg incinerates Bron. However, the group must advance without her after she uses up her furyoku resurrecting Ren and Horohoro. The remaining members of the group enter the 3rd Plant, where Ren fights Magna to redeem himself from his previous battle. | ||||

| Ren beats Magna and the group goes to the 4th Plant, where they fight Radim, the announcer from Shaman Fight. Faust and Yoh manage to defeat Radim, though at the cost of Faust's life, leaving the group without any means of resurrecting themselves. Meanwhile, the Gandhara manage to obtain three of the Elemental Spirits from Hell, leaving Sati to fight against King Enma to obtain the Spirit of Earth. Jun discovers that Redseb and Seyram have left for Mu with the Golem to help Yoh with facing Hao. The Munzer children are both killed upon finding Hao, who spares Redseb's soul so he can deliver the Spirit of Fire to Yoh's group, though Lyserg refrains from using it immediately. At the fifth plant, they find Kalim, who offers them a chance to rest before he fights them; they accept, going sleep to prepare to fight the remaining Patches and Hao next day. Upon waking the next morning, Manta finds Anna who has found out a way to go to Mu. The volume ends with Funbari no Uta, a sequel from the series, which shows Yoh and Anna's son, Hana Asakura, searching for the five legendary warriors along with Ryu. | ||||
