After footage of Chu Xinghe’s battle against Xie Yue spread across the Three Continents, the public recognized Chu Xinghe’s overwhelming strength and Zheng Yu’s strategic talent.

• Lu Chengqing released the Haotian Mirror footage of Chu Xinghe’s battle in the Land of Heavenly Secrets, and viewers saw him find the Spirit Pillars and kill Xie Yue five times.
• People across the Three Continents praised Chu Xinghe’s all-around strength and credited Zheng Yu with wise planning that had benefited Martial Emperor City.
• The Vast Heaven Holy Land gathered around the captured Evil God’s Spirit Eye to study the treasure.

• Chu Xinghe concluded that the Vast Heaven Holy Land had not lost as long as the Evil God’s Spirit Eye could not be made to serve it.

The elders of Vast Heaven Holy Land determined that the Evil God's Spirit Eye was far weaker than the Well of Prophecy and could not be controlled without the Heavenly Secrets Secret Art. Chu Xinghe celebrated its apparent uselessness, but She Meng stepped forward with a plan.

• The Well Spirits elders examined the Evil God's Spirit Eye and said it was vastly inferior to the Well of Prophecy.
• Gu Mingchao asked what might happen if the ancient god's four body parts were reunited, and the Well Spirits Great Elder suggested they could help break the barrier between worlds.
• Elder He, the Great Sage, and the Well Spirits elders all failed to control the Evil God's Spirit Eye.
• Chu Xinghe decided the uncontrollable, power-consuming artifact could serve as decoration at Vast Heaven Holy Land's entrance and jokingly renamed it Hold in High Regard.
• She Meng stepped forward and announced that she had a plan.

She Meng used the Snake Spirit Clan’s Nether Snake Marks to improve the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s intelligence network, then took control of the Evil God’s Spirit Eye by linking it to the soul fragment inside. Far away, the Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord felt his connection to the eye vanish and realized it had been lost again.

• She Meng explained that Nether Snake Marks could send intelligence securely and instantly, and linked the marks on the Holy Land’s agents to Elder She Kui so he could relay information to Shen Chun.
• Shen Chun credited She Meng for the intelligence system improvement, while Chu Xinghe lamented that Shen Chun had joined She Meng and She Kui in taking credit from him.
• She Meng connected a Nether Snake Mark to the Evil God’s Spirit Eye and made it enter his forehead as a third eye.
• Elder He explained that the mark could control the eye because it contained a soul fragment that lacked the ability to resist.
• The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord returned to the Land of Heavenly Secrets, then felt his connection to the Evil God’s Spirit Eye disappear and wondered what had happened.

She Meng used the Nether Snake Mark to bind the Evil God's Spirit Eye, but its powers seemed useless to Vast Heaven Holy Land until he discovered it could materialize souls. The Four Sacred Beasts regained their peak strength, and their new soul bodies could function as bodies as long as the Spirit Eye remained at the Holy Land.

• The Heavenly Secrets Evil Lord discovered that his connection to the Evil God's Spirit Eye had been severed after She Meng bound it with the Nether Snake Mark.

• She Meng revealed that the Spirit Eye could materialize souls, and he used it to give the Well Spirits Great Elder a solid soul form.
• Gu Mingchao summoned the Four Sacred Beasts, and She Meng used the Spirit Eye to materialize their souls.
• The Four Sacred Beasts absorbed their dispersed innate powers and returned to peak strength, though Xuanwu needed a second attempt before his soul materialized.

The Evil God's Spirit Eye restored the Four Sacred Beasts to their peak and upgraded the Four Holy Beasts Grand Formation into a powerful, self-sustaining defense. Ma Liang then discovered that the eye could also turn Ghost Valley's ghosts into soul warriors, giving him a dramatic upgrade and access to the abilities of many races.

• The Four Sacred Beasts returned to peak condition, allowing the Four Holy Beasts Grand Formation to operate at full power without consuming the Vast Heaven Holy Land's spiritual power.
• Chu Xinghe realized that She Meng had understated the Evil God's Spirit Eye's abilities and that the Vast Heaven Holy Land had gained a formidable mountain-protecting formation.
• Ma Liang asked She Meng to use the Evil God's Spirit Eye on two ghosts from Ghost Valley, and their souls materialized at the peak Martial God level they had reached in life.
• Ma Liang concluded that materialized soul warriors could use the abilities of their original races, solving the limitations of his ghost-based cultivation and expanding his formations beyond ghost power.

Ma Liang and Wei Buhui received powerful enhancements to their ghosts and soul beasts, leaving Chu Xinghe overwhelmed by another wave of beneficial consequences from the Evil God's Spirit Eye. Meanwhile, Zang Ling arrived on the Blazing Sun Continent and vowed to conquer the Three Continents and force Chu Xinghe to kneel.

• Ma Liang's strengthened ghosts became soul warriors with varied abilities, and the Vast Heaven Holy Land's leaders realized his buff made him a formidable threat at every stage of battle.
• Ma Liang proposed strengthening Wei Buhui's soul beasts, so the Grand Elder sent Shen Chun to fetch Wei Buhui and She Meng used the Evil God's Spirit Eye on them.
• Wei Buhui's materialized soul beasts gained at least fifty percent more combat power, and he proposed combining forces with Ma Liang's soul warriors.
• Chu Xinghe retreated to the ninth floor of the Technique Repository Tower, despairing over how the evil spirits' arrival had brought his allies yet more benefits.
• Zang Ling descended into a cavern on the Blazing Sun Continent through the Evil God's Fang and declared that he would conquer the Three Continents with an army of converted evil spirits.
• Zang Ling vowed to make the Three Continents surrender the Evil God's Spirit Eye and force Chu Xinghe to kneel before him.

Zang Ling, a Heart-Devouring Evil Spirit, planned to start an invasion of the Three Continents by transforming a city’s cultivators into low-level evil spirits. After gathering information, he chose Bin City as a target that seemed to meet his requirements.

• Zang Ling’s abilities let him mimic other races, devour weaker cultivators’ spiritual power, and turn them into controlled low-level evil spirits.
• Zang Ling delayed his first attack while searching for a city with many weak cultivators and no powerful opponents, since failure would exhaust his Heart-Devouring Power.
• Zang Ling disguised himself as a young man and asked an adventuring party where he could find many cultivators below the fourth rank.
• The party first recommended Haotian City, but Zang Ling clarified that he wanted a place with few cultivators above the seventh rank.
• An adventuring party member suggested Bin City, where cultivators below the fourth rank gathered for well water around the fifteenth of the month, and Zang Ling decided to target it.

Zang Ling arrived in Bin City intending to use the crowded monthly gathering to devour cultivators and create evil spirit puppets. Instead, his blood-red chains opened blocked Qi and Blood meridians, leaving the crowd feeling better and Zang Ling baffled.

• Zang Ling confirmed that crowds of cultivators gathered in Bin City on the fifteenth to collect water from the Well of Prophecy, and learned the Vast Heaven Holy Land organized the distribution.
• Zang Ling reached Bin City and found its gates and streets packed with body cultivators waiting for water.
• Zang Ling used the Evil God's Fang to strengthen his heart-devouring power and sent blood-red chains through the crowd, intending to enslave everyone.
• Qu Yifeng tried to calm the panicking crowd, but the chains entered his body and drew out his accumulated Qi and Blood, clearing some blocked meridians.
• Other linked body cultivators also felt their Qi and Blood flow freely, while Zang Ling wondered why they seemed to be enjoying the chains instead of being devoured.

Zang Ling’s Heart-Devouring Power accidentally cleared the body cultivators’ Qi and Blood blockages and created Blood Spirit Stones, but everyone blamed Yuan Ying for the strange act of helping Chu Xinghe. The body cultivators gave their stones to Qu Yifeng in gratitude, while Yuan Ying emerged from seclusion unaware that he had been credited with the deed.

• Zang Ling’s blood-colored chains entered the body cultivators, failed to find spiritual power, and cleared their blocked Qi and Blood instead.
• The expelled Qi and Blood merged with ambient Spiritual Qi to form Blood Spirit Stones, and Bin City residents concluded that Yuan Ying had used an Ape Clan secret art to help Chu Xinghe.
• Zang Ling fled Bin City after exhausting nearly seventy percent of his power without harming the body cultivators.
• The body cultivators gave their Blood Spirit Stones to Qu Yifeng, thanking the Vast Heaven Holy Land and Chu Xinghe for their help.
• News spread across the Three Continents, and Tantai Jing and Wu Xingyun assumed the exhausted Yuan Ying was responsible for the incident.

After Bin City’s blood-chain incident was blamed on Yuan Ying, the Ape Clan disowned him and Chu Xinghe feared he would bring the Vast Heaven Holy Land another gift. Yuan Ying, who had been secluded and had nothing to do with the incident, set out to find the real culprit and prove his innocence.

• Word spread that Yuan Ying had used the Ape Clan’s secret arts to help Chu Xinghe in Bin City, leaving the Grand Elder unsure whether to treat him as a threat.
• The Ape Clan publicly declared Yuan Ying a mixed-blood ape and expelled him, prompting ridicule across the Three Continents.
• Qu Yifeng returned to the Vast Heaven Holy Land with Blood Spirit Stones produced through Body Cultivation, and Chu Xinghe worried Yuan Ying might teach the secret art to the sect.
• Yuan Ying learned that everyone suspected him of causing the Bin City incident, despite his having stayed in secluded cultivation.
• Yuan Ying carved “wronged” into his face and left the Demonic Sect at night to find the person who had helped Chu Xinghe and clear his name.
