Lu Ping disguised himself as Feng Li and began operating as the Great Wind Clan Leader, looting the clan treasury and refining blood for cultivation and memories. He recovered from his injuries and discovered another potent drop of Feng Li’s true blood, then considered whether to consume it or search its memories.

• Lu Ping withdrew the formations, erased signs of battle, took Feng Li’s appearance, and cultivated in the stone hall while posing as the clan leader.

• After recovering his origin, Lu Ping refined a drop of pseudo-true blood, gained little cultivation, and absorbed fragments of Feng Li’s memories after filtering out the soul resentment.
• Lu Ping examined the remaining drop of Feng Li’s Fatebound True Blood and faced a choice about consuming it or using it to view Feng Li’s memories.

Lu Ping absorbed Feng Li’s True Blood and learned that the Youshan Clan planned to seize Windbreath Ravine’s Sha Vein. He chose to remain in Windbreath Ravine as the Great Wind Clan’s leader and prepare to trap the Youshan Clan.

• Lu Ping refined the Fatebound True Blood, advanced his cultivation, and pieced together Feng Li’s memories.

• Lu Ping delegated the Great Wind Clan’s routine affairs and began enlarging the Nine-Bend Blood-Transforming Formation.

Lu Ping prepared a vast Mountain-Protection Grand Formation for Windbreath Ravine while waiting for the Youshan Clan to act. When Feng Yi reported that Gray Vulture refugees had arrived, Lu Ping took them in and ordered the Great Wind Clan to fortify the ravine.

• Lu Ping redesigned the Nine-Bend Blood-Transforming Formation, refined its Formation Flags, and spent half a year preparing while Windbreath Ravine remained peaceful.
• Feng Yi reported that more than two hundred Gray Vulture Tribe members had fled the Youshan Clan’s protection and sought refuge outside Windbreath Ravine.

• Lu Ping warned that the Youshan Clan posed a threat and ordered the Great Wind Clan to help him establish a Mountain-Protection Grand Formation.
• Lu Ping gave Feng Yi the Formation Flags and ordered him to lay the Formation’s foundations at the marked locations.

After completing a concealed formation network around Windbreath Ravine, Lu Ping set his subordinates to work reorganizing the valley and learning artifact refining while allowing the Gray Vulture Tribe to inspect the defenses so the Youshan Clan would be lured into attacking. He continued cultivating and weighing whether to strengthen his Law Treasures or indulge himself, leaving that choice unresolved.

• Feng Yi oversaw three months of work to raise a Mountain-Protection Grand Formation over Windbreath Ravine, concealing two Heavenly Gang-level Great Nine-Bend Blood-Transforming Formations and an inner Great Five Elements Heaven-Trapping Formation.
• Lu Ping ordered Feng Yi to reorganize the valley's districts, redistribute subordinate tribes' territories, and teach the demons the Artifact Refining methods in the Beast-Skin Scrolls.

• Lu Ping cultivated in Windbreath Ravine's rich spiritual environment and continued refining and taking pills, but his progress slowed because he could no longer consume Great Demon True Blood.
• Lu Ping considered strengthening Little Five, strengthening Little Star, or summoning beautiful demons to his cave abode for a fashion show, but the chapter ended before he chose.

• Lu Ping woke after a few hours with his Divine Sense restored and his Primordial Spirit strengthened.
• Lu Ping summoned Star River Myriad Blades and recognized that its new Cloud Restriction foundation had opened limitless possibilities for its advancement.
