• Chu Xinghe returned to the Vast Heaven Holy Land and found the Body Cultivation disciples, Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits, and Taiyin Evil Spirits had failed to make progress, while the crystal was still safe.

Man Sheng struggled to find a way for the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits to contribute to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, despite Chu Xinghe encouraging him to keep trying. Chu Xinghe left confident that their efforts would consume resources and bring him good fortune, but the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits’ afternoon pill-refining lesson ended in a disastrous waste of materials.

• Mu Bai watched the lesson and concluded that the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits were even worse at pill refining than the Taiyin Evil Spirits.

Chu Xinghe dismissed the discovery as useless until Shen Chun claimed Chu had said the Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others break their racial shackles.

• Tai Chu learned every Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit divine ability Man Sheng taught him, though each ability consumed far more resources and had only one-thousandth its normal effect.
• Mu Bai ordered the news sent to Chu Xinghe, the Grand Elder, and the palace heads, and Shen Chun hurried to tell Chu about Tai Chu’s talent.
• Chu Xinghe decided the ability was not useful because the Taiyin Evil Spirits could only break their own racial shackles, then went with Shen Chun to the Medicine King Palace.
• The Grand Elder and Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable agreed that Tai Chu’s talent had little practical value because his abilities were so weak.
• Shen Chun claimed Chu Xinghe had said the Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others break their shackles, leaving Chu and the Azure Dragon Sacred Venerable stunned.

Shen Chun and Man Sheng claimed Chu Xinghe had foreseen that Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others overcome racial limits, though Chu Xinghe knew they had misunderstood his casual remarks. Tai Chu proved the theory by teaching Qu Yifeng the Strength Soul Divine Ability, revealing the Taiyin Evil Spirits’ true value as teachers who could pass on abilities across racial boundaries.

• Shen Chun said Chu Xinghe had predicted the Taiyin Evil Spirits could help others break through racial shackles, and Man Sheng interpreted Chu Xinghe’s encouragement as a hint to seek them out.
• Chu Xinghe privately denied having meant any of it, while the elders considered whether Taiyin Evil Spirits could teach abilities they could not effectively use themselves.
• Tai Chu touched Qu Yifeng between the brows and passed the Strength Soul Divine Ability into his mind.
• Qu Yifeng manifested the Strength Soul Divine Ability, confirming he had learned an ability restricted to another race.
• The witnesses realized Taiyin Evil Spirits could teach across racial boundaries and recognized their power as Creating Something from Nothing.

Tai Chu’s demonstration revealed that the Taiyin Evil Spirits could teach others the beginnings of any cultivation technique, giving Vast Heaven Holy Land disciples a way to develop abilities beyond their innate limits. The thirty-two Taiyin Evil Spirits thanked Chu Xinghe for showing them their worth, and he let them weep as they knelt before him.

• Tai Chu taught Qu Yifeng a Strength Barbarian Evil Spirit divine ability, but Qu Yifeng could use only one-thousandth of its strength.

• After witnessing the Taiyin Evil Spirits’ ability, the factions were astonished, and Group Leader Bai was attacked online over his criticism of Chu Xinghe.

Bai Yu rallied the Xinghe Haters' Group to keep attacking Chu Xinghe, while Zang Ling's purchases at the highest market price left the Taiyin Evil Spirits legally belonging to the Vast Heaven Holy Land. As powerful factions flocked to use the spirits to learn lost cultivation arts, Chu Xinghe proposed helping them for free, and Ma Liang enthusiastically praised the idea.

• Bai Yu fought with critics on the Haotian Mirror and ordered the Xinghe Haters' Group to keep hating Chu Xinghe despite the controversy.

• As factions offered increasing prices for access to the spirits, Chu Xinghe panicked and proposed helping them for free.
• Ma Liang praised Chu Xinghe's plan to provide the service for free, leaving Chu Xinghe bewildered.

Chu Xinghe proposed helping the factions for free, and Ma Liang turned the offer into a way for the Vast Heaven Holy Land to acquire their cultivation techniques. The factions and Evil Lords panicked when they learned what Ma Liang meant by free.

• Chu Xinghe decided the Vast Heaven Holy Land would help the factions for free after they kept raising their offers for the Taiyin Evil Spirits' help.
• The Great Elder put Ma Liang in charge, and Ma Liang explained that free cooperation would let the Holy Land's disciples learn techniques shared with the Taiyin Evil Spirits.
• Chu Xinghe conceded defeat and went into seclusion in the Technique Repository Tower while Ma Liang announced the free offer.
• Zheng Yu, Hua Xichen, and the other faction representatives insisted that Ma Liang's free offer sounded more frightening than a high price.
• The White Spirit Evil Lord and the other Evil Lords initially expected to freeload, then realized Ma Liang intended for the Vast Heaven Holy Land to learn their techniques for free.

Ma Liang’s supposedly free offer led the Three Continents’ forces to cooperate with the Vast Heaven Holy Land, since only it could persuade the Taiyin Evil Spirits to help them. Cheng Xiaotian explained to Zheng Yu that Chu Xinghe’s success came from treating everyone as an independent disciple rather than a pawn, and Zheng realized the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s model depended on Chu himself.

• Ma Liang explained the terms of his free offer, and the White Spirit Evil Lord complained that the forces were being made to pay for it; the forces ultimately agreed to cooperate with the Vast Heaven Holy Land.
• The forces accepted the deal because the Taiyin Evil Spirits trusted only the Vast Heaven Holy Land and would not help anyone else.
• Zheng Yu wondered whether he could have secured the same gains, and Cheng Xiaotian told him that Chu Xinghe’s way of welcoming and guiding the Taiyin Evil Spirits had made the difference.
• Cheng Xiaotian explained that Chu Xinghe supported disciples without treating them as pawns, while other leaders trained subordinates toward predetermined roles.
• Zheng Yu asked whether Martial Emperor City could copy the Vast Heaven Holy Land’s approach, and Cheng Xiaotian said that even equal resources would not suffice without Chu Xinghe.

Chu Xinghe’s recruitment of the Taiyin Evil Spirits and Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits had made the Vast Heaven Holy Land stronger, while he hid away to recover from his disastrous luck. Meanwhile, Bai Yu gathered the Xinghe Haters’ Group and proposed spreading fabricated rumors about Chu Xinghe, though his subordinates misunderstood what kind of rumors he meant.

• Zheng Yu agreed with his master that Chu Xinghe earned the heaven’s chosen admiration by supporting them and handling the trouble they caused.
• The Four Continents marveled that the Taiyin Evil Spirits had helped the Strength Barbarian Evil Spirits learn palace techniques and share their divine abilities with other disciples.
• Chu Xinghe stayed on the ninth floor of the Technique Repository Tower and vowed to leave future disciple recruitment to Ma Liang.
• Bai Yu called a meeting of the Xinghe Haters’ Group and announced that he had devised a new way to target Chu Xinghe.
• Bai Yu explained that the group should invent rumors to smear Chu Xinghe, but Zhang Sanpao offered to spread dirty rumors instead, angering Bai Yu.

Bai Yu decided the Xinghe Haters' Group needed to seize the initiative by exploiting the booming market for spirit mines on the Evil Shadow Continent. He planned to spark rumors linking Chu Xinghe to worthless mines, leaving the chapter with the group preparing to turn a single impersonator's appearance into widespread speculation.

• Bai Yu argued that the Xinghe Haters' Group had repeatedly failed because it reacted to Chu Xinghe's actions instead of controlling the narrative.
• Bai Yu proposed mixing exhausted and fake mines among the White Spirit Division's mines for sale, then spreading rumors that Chu Xinghe had praised them.
• Sanpao asked how the group could make people believe Chu Xinghe had endorsed the mines, and Erlü warned that no impersonator would dare pose as him.
• Bai Yu clarified that an impersonator only needed to appear around the White Spirit Division without saying anything, after which the group could suggest he might have been Chu Xinghe.
• Bai Yu expected buyers to imagine that Chu Xinghe had favored certain mines and blame him if the mines proved worthless.

Bai Yu sent a Chu Xinghe impersonator through the White Spirit Division’s fake mines, prompting greedy buyers to assume Chu Xinghe had secretly identified valuable deposits and bid prices sky-high. When Shen Chun warned Chu Xinghe that the scheme was a trap targeting him, Chu Xinghe seized the chance to fuel the rumors and ended the chapter by declaring in a live broadcast that they were not rumors.

• Bai Yu explained how an impersonator’s visit to the White Spirit Division could spur buyers to invent their own rumors and blame Chu Xinghe if they lost money.
• Bai Yu hired a Chu Xinghe impersonator, who visited every marked location, denied being the real Chu Xinghe, and received payment.
• People connected the impersonator’s route to mines listed for sale, and the prices of the White Spirit Division’s worthless mines soared.
• Shen Chun told Chu Xinghe that the Vast Heaven Holy Land believed someone had set a trap to target him.
• Chu Xinghe went live through the Haotian Mirror and declared that the rumors about the spirit mines were not rumors.

Chu Xinghe tried to stop the rumors about him by livestreaming, but instead of denying them, he declared them all true and left Bai Yu and Shen Chun baffled. Shen Chun realized Chu Xinghe had reached Elder He's legendary third level of handling rumors: using them to achieve his own goals.

• Shen Chun offered to investigate the people spreading rumors, but Chu Xinghe warned that disproving them would be difficult and might not change what people believed.
• Chu Xinghe started a livestream in the Haotian Mirror, drawing in viewers and Bai Yu, who expected him to debunk the rumors and make matters worse for himself.
• Chu Xinghe announced that every rumor about him was true, then immediately ended the livestream.
• Bai Yu and his companions were left unable to understand Chu Xinghe's approach, while Shen Chun recalled Elder He's three levels of dealing with rumors.
• Shen Chun concluded that Chu Xinghe had reached the third level, using rumors to achieve his own goals.

After Chu Xinghe’s livestream, Shen Chun and the elders interpreted his strange response to the rumors as a brilliant third level of intelligence work: using a rumor to strike back at its creator. Chu Xinghe had no real plan and told Shen Chun to wait, confident that the rumors would keep spreading and work in his favor.

• Shen Chun decided Chu Xinghe was using the legendary third level to turn the rumor against whoever had started it.
• The Grand Elder and the palace chief elders came to question Chu Xinghe, and Shen Chun explained Elder He’s supposed three levels of intelligence work.
• Elder He admitted the third level had started as drunken boasting but claimed Chu Xinghe’s actions proved it existed, pledging to support him publicly.
• The elders left to watch Chu Xinghe’s next move, while Shen Chun offered to cooperate and suspected the White Spirit Division was behind the rumor.
• Chu Xinghe told Shen Chun to make no arrangements and wait, privately admitting he knew nothing about the third level but expected the rumor to benefit him.

Chu Xinghe decided to stay inactive, believing that letting his opponents control the scheme would bring him a loss, while Bai Yu also waited for him to make a move. Meanwhile, the White Spirit Evil Lord’s suspicious mines on Down-and-Out Mountain drew fierce bidding after Chu Xinghe’s broadcast convinced buyers they might be real.

• Chu Xinghe told Shen Chun he would take responsibility for the coming losses and instructed him to watch and wait.
• Bai Yu also held back, waiting for Chu Xinghe to act before choosing his moment to strike.
• The White Spirit Evil Lord added fifteen supposed spirit mines to the sale, including five worthless mines and ten sites on spirit-devouring Down-and-Out Mountain.
• Factions bid frantically on the mines, and the White Spirit Evil Lord asked the Earth Sha Evil Lord whether Down-and-Out Mountain could truly contain spirit mines.
• After Chu Xinghe’s broadcast, prospecting masters and even Clan Head Cui doubted the Heart of the Earth’s finding that Down-and-Out Mountain had no spirit mines.
