Jiang Bei rejected the Seven Blades of the Raging Dust’s invitation to explore the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic, then spent days searching unsuccessfully for a cure for his worsening Nether Profound Calamity Curse. With only a few days left to live, he decided to go to Yellow Maple Valley and entrusted the Tianyao Alliance’s affairs to Wen Shiqing.

• Liu Feng invited Jiang Bei to join the Seven Blades of the Raging Dust in exploring the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic, but Jiang Bei refused because of his curse and distrust of the group.
• A scar-faced member threatened Jiang Bei, but Liu Feng stopped him, apologized, and led the Seven Blades away while privately plotting to seize Jiang Bei’s saber and treasures later.

• Jiang Bei decided to head to Yellow Maple Valley, took the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Saber and Bodhi Treasure Pill, and asked Wen Shiqing to manage alliance affairs in his absence.

Jiang Bei met Old Ghost Xuan Yin at Yellow Maple Valley and learned that the elder had cursed him to force him to help break a seal inside the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic.

Hearing that the Yunyong Domain’s three major leaders planned to break open the Heavenly Star Secret Realm for its Immortal Spirit Grass, Old Ghost Xuan Yin reacted with interest as he and Jiang Bei continued toward the relic’s depths.

• Old Ghost Xuan Yin assured Jiang Bei that the Azure Sea Jade Sky Pill was still hidden in the relic and led him onward.

• Old Ghost Xuan Yin sneered at the plan and appeared interested in the secret realm and its Immortal Spirit Grass.

Jiang Bei and Old Ghost Xuan Yin reached a sealed cave residence, where Xuan Yin admitted he had lied about the Azure Sea Jade Sky Pill and used the pill he carried to persuade Jiang Bei to break the seal. Inside, Xuan Yin found a hidden jade bottle, but three men arrived, led by the Saint Immortal Hua Yuan, whom Xuan Yin had believed dead.

• Old Ghost Xuan Yin revealed that the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic held no Azure Sea Jade Sky Pill, then showed Jiang Bei the pill he had kept and promised it in exchange for breaking the cave’s seal.
• Jiang Bei agreed after sensing something with his Heart of Divinity talent, and Xuan Yin lent him power so he could shatter the seal with the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Saber.
• Jiang Bei and Xuan Yin entered the barren cave residence, where Xuan Yin used an ancient scroll to locate and break open a hidden recess.
• Old Ghost Xuan Yin retrieved a crystal-clear jade bottle from the recess and celebrated his long-awaited prize.
• Hua Yuan entered the cave residence with two companions, and Xuan Yin recognized him and exclaimed that he had thought Hua Yuan was dead.

Old Ghost Xuan Yin fought Hua Yuan and his two companions over the jade bottle, using his Black Meteor Cold Armor to cripple Hua Yuan and turn the battle in his favor. As the fight continued, Xuan Yin killed the hook-nosed man, leaving Hua Yuan and the triangular-eyed man facing him.

• Hua Yuan and his companions demanded that Old Ghost Xuan Yin hand over the jade bottle, claiming they had also found scrolls in Misty Mountain.
• Old Ghost Xuan Yin pretended to agree, then attacked Hua Yuan and fought all three men in the cave while Jiang Bei watched from the wall.
• Hua Yuan, the hook-nosed man, and the triangular-eyed man coordinated an attack, but Hua Yuan's palm struck the Black Meteor Cold Armor beneath Xuan Yin's robes.
• The armor's freezing power spread up Hua Yuan's arm, forcing him to cut off his own hand to survive.
• Hua Yuan and his companions attacked again, and Old Ghost Xuan Yin knocked away the hook-nosed man's dagger, crushed his throat, and threw aside his corpse.

Hua Yuan detonated his Golden Core to injure Old Ghost Xuan Yin, who then forced Jiang Bei to swallow a Soft Bone Pill while demanding his help with another seal. As Old Ghost Xuan Yin began healing behind a sealed stone door, Jiang Bei appeared fully recovered and stabbed him through the chest.

• Old Ghost Xuan Yin tore off the triangular-eyed man's arms and crushed his head, then caught Hua Yuan's attack.
• Hua Yuan self-detonated his Golden Core, injuring Old Ghost Xuan Yin and damaging the cave while Jiang Bei sheltered behind a stone statue.

• Old Ghost Xuan Yin forcibly fed Jiang Bei a Soft Bone Pill and sealed him in an inner chamber before beginning to heal.
• Jiang Bei appeared behind Old Ghost Xuan Yin and pierced his chest with a blade, leaving the injured Saint Immortal stunned.

Jiang Bei killed Old Ghost Xuan Yin after revealing that the Bodhi Treasure Pill had protected him from the old ghost’s poison and curse-based schemes. Searching the body, he found a map and an account suggesting the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron was not in the Ten Thousand Mothers Ancestral Land.

• Jiang Bei fatally wounded Old Ghost Xuan Yin, then used the Five Elements Dharma Wheels to smash his head when the old ghost tried to escape and attack.

• Jiang Bei discovered a scroll-map marking three locations in the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic, including the Heavenly Star Secret Realm and another treasure site.
• Jiang Bei read the scroll’s account claiming that the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron was absent from the Ten Thousand Mothers Ancestral Land.

Jiang Bei discovered that the jade bottle contained the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron, whose purifying aura suppressed his Nether Mystic Calamity Curse, but learned he needed the Immortal Spirit Grass from the Heavenly Star Secret Realm to make it acknowledge him. He headed for the secret realm with a second treasure taken from Old Ghost Xuan Yin’s sealed cave, arriving as three powerful sect leaders and their followers attacked its formation.

• Jiang Bei read a scroll revealing the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron’s hiding place and its purifying power, then released the cauldron from the jade bottle.
• When Jiang Bei tried to enter the cauldron, it repelled him, and the scroll explained that he needed the Immortal Spirit Grass from the Heavenly Star Secret Realm to make the cauldron acknowledge him.
• Jiang Bei followed the map to Old Ghost Xuan Yin’s second sealed cave, broke in, and found an unexplained azure crystal hidden in a wall.
• Jiang Bei stored the crystal and hurried toward the Heavenly Star Secret Realm, where he found a crowd gathered around its protective formation.
• Baili Cheng, Xue Fei, and True Lord Hao led more than a hundred cultivators in attacking the formation.

Jiang Bei sought a way into the Heavenly Star Secret Realm to find the Immortal Spirit Grass, but the three great factions barred latecomers from joining the formation-breaking group. After the formation shattered, he secretly saved True Lord Hao’s reckless son Tian’er from a deadly fragment, leaving True Lord Hao to confront the guards over his son’s injuries.

• The Myriad Tribulation Sect, Azure Fire Valley, and Heaven Severing Sect blocked Jiang Bei and other latecomers, threatening them when they protested.
• Jiang Bei realized the formation breakers would keep outsiders from entering and considered sneaking in despite the danger of provoking the three Saint Immortals.
• The ancient formation broke apart, and the red-robed Tian’er flew too close despite his guards’ warnings.
• Formation fragments overwhelmed Tian’er’s guards, and Jiang Bei fired a streak of cold light that shattered a fragment before it hit him.
• True Lord Hao rushed to Tian’er, whose injuries were minor, but Tian’er blamed the guards and urged his father to kill them.

Jiang Bei entered the Heavenly Star Secret Realm after saving True Lord Hao’s son and earning permission to pass the three sects’ guards. Guided by the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron toward the Immortal Spirit Grass, he followed the three Saint Immortals deeper into the realm as True Lord Hao and Xue Fei began to quarrel.

• True Lord Hao thanked Li Feiyu for saving his son, but Tian'er accused Jiang Bei of causing his injury, drawing scorn from the crowd.
• The ancient formation broke, opening the Heavenly Star Secret Realm, and True Lord Hao ordered the guards to protect Tian'er while he moved to enter.
• True Lord Hao granted Jiang Bei permission to enter as repayment, and Jiang Bei followed him through the vortex.
• Inside the realm, the cultivators split up to search for treasures while the three Saint Immortals headed deeper to seek the Immortal Spirit Grass.
• The Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron trembled and guided Jiang Bei toward the Immortal Spirit Grass, so he quickened his pace after the three Saint Immortals.
• Xue Fei mocked True Lord Hao about Tian'er, and the two men exchanged angry taunts as they continued deeper into the secret realm.

Baili Cheng, Xue Fei, and True Lord Hao found the only route to the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic’s depths blocked by the Heavenly Calamity Poisonous Fog, which Xue Fei could not penetrate. As the three Saint Immortals resigned themselves to waiting for the fog to clear, a mysterious black figure plunged into it, and Xue Fei charged after him.

• Baili Cheng persuaded Xue Fei and True Lord Hao to postpone their rivalry and agree not to seize the Immortal Spirit Grass from one another inside the relic.
• The three Saint Immortals discovered that ink-green poisonous fog blocked the sole passage deeper into the Ten Thousand Mothers Relic, and their searches found no alternate route.
• Xue Fei rushed into the fog, but it pierced his protective flames and forced him to retreat after only a dozen yards.
• True Lord Hao identified the obstacle as the Heavenly Calamity Poisonous Fog, which would disperse after two hours, while Baili Cheng and Xue Fei worried that their rivals would arrive first.
• A black figure shot from the crowd and plunged into the fog, prompting Xue Fei to charge in after him.

Jiang Bei revealed that he could help the three Saint Immortals cross the Heavenly Calamity Poisonous Fog and offered them Poison Dispelling Stones. The chapter ended with him warning that they must not use spiritual power while the stones’ protective barriers were active.

• Xue Fei seized and searched a black-robed cultivator who had entered the poisonous fog, but found no poison-proof treasure.
• True Lord Hao stopped Xue Fei from attacking the cultivator, who fled after claiming he had only two days to live.
• As the crowd dispersed, Jiang Bei stayed behind, and the three Saint Immortals learned that he had a way to cross the fog.
• Jiang Bei secured promises from True Lord Hao, Xue Fei, and Baili Cheng that they would not hinder him or seize his treasures.
• Jiang Bei gave the three men Poison Dispelling Stones and warned them that using spiritual power would destroy the stones’ protection.

Jiang Bei led Baili Cheng, True Lord Hao, and Xue Fei through the Heavenly Calamity Poisonous Fog using his fabricated Poison Dispelling Stones, then parted from them in the secret realm’s depths. He found the Mountain Sea Divine Herb and followed the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron’s guidance to a crystal wall, suspecting the Immortal Spirit Grass was hidden beyond it.

• Jiang Bei convinced the three Saint Immortals that his ordinary stones could repel the poisonous fog, and they entered while carefully restraining their spiritual power.
• The four crossed the fog and reached the depths of the secret realm, where Xue Fei, Baili Cheng, and True Lord Hao set off separately to search for the Immortal Spirit Grass.
• Jiang Bei used the Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron to guide his search and gathered spiritual plants along the way.
• Jiang Bei discovered and collected the Mountain Sea Divine Herb, completing the pair of treasures Gu Cangsheng needed alongside the Phoenix Immortal Wood.
• The Ten Thousand Mothers Cauldron led Jiang Bei to a vast crystal wall, and he punched it, suspecting the Immortal Spirit Grass lay beyond it.
