Meanwhile, Yang Yuqi recovered from the Flood Dragon attack and wondered about a little sapling that had appeared in his Dantian.

After discovering that a mysterious tree in his Dantian drew in wood-attribute Spiritual Qi and accelerated his cultivation, Yang Yuqi decided to switch methods while concealing his reason. He left the Scripture Repository with the Ten Thousand Wood Qingshan Scripture, bought with two hundred Lineage Contribution Points.

• Yang Yuqi found that wood-attribute Spiritual Qi made up most of what entered his body, yet his cultivation speed had increased by more than thirty percent.
• Yang Yuqi worried that switching from the Kun Earth Scripture would arouse suspicion, then decided to claim he wanted to become a Spirit Plant Master.
• Yang Yuqi visited the Scripture Repository and told Yang Yukong he wanted a method with both earth and wood attributes for cultivating Spirit Plants.
• Yang Yukong gave Yang Yuqi a list of twenty-seven methods, and Yang Yuqi chose the Ten Thousand Wood Qingshan Scripture.
• Yang Yuqi paid two hundred Lineage Contribution Points for the first three levels and left with the Jade Slip.

After changing cultivation methods, Yang Yuqi discovered that the little tree’s Life Force could rapidly grow plants and turn some into spirit medicines, though using it left the tree weakened. A year later, Zhiming consumed the final Fortune Qi and awakened his Diting Bloodline into a true physical form, leaving him on a clear path to grow into a powerful Divine Beast.

• Yang Yuqi completed his change to the Ten Thousand Wood Qingshan Scripture and found that his cultivation speed had greatly increased.
• Yang Yuqi used the little tree’s Life Force to grow his courtyard plants, turning some ordinary flowers and grass into First-Tier Low-Grade spirit medicines.
• Yang Yuqi realized the little tree became listless after supplying Life Force and planned to sell the spirit medicines and pursue work in the Agriculture Hall.
• Zhiming noticed Yang Yuqi’s Wood Attribute power, recorded his name, and decided to report the matter to his Master and protect him if necessary.
• Yang Tianjiu sent word that the Fortune Qi had finished condensing, and Zhiming retrieved it from Purple Moon City.
• Zhiming swallowed the Fortune Qi and awakened his Diting Bloodline, transforming into a Young Diting as Yang Tianyou, Yunhua, the six Spirit Beasts, and Yang Haoyu watched.

Zhiming’s fully awakened Diting bloodline greatly strengthened his abilities, including a Fortune Rainbow Light that also magnified the unlucky phase before good fortune arrived. Wolf Ancestor volunteered to test it and, despite Yang Tianyou’s preparations, was struck by a succession of misfortunes.

• Zhiming transformed into his Diting true form and later returned to his little black dog form in Yang Tianyou’s arms.
• Yang Tianyou learned that Zhiming could hear thoughts and monitor everything within a thousand li, while his Fortune Rainbow Light had become three to five times stronger.
• Zhiming warned Yang Tianyou that the unlucky phase might also become three to five times worse, so Yang Tianyou left the decision to Wolf Ancestor.
• Wolf Ancestor agreed to let Zhiming use Fortune Rainbow Light on him, and Yang Tianyou outfitted him with protective treasures and talismans.

After half a month of misfortune, Wolf Ancestor recovered and used the Nine-Refinement Heavenly Furnace Fruit to undergo a bloodline metamorphosis. He emerged as a Blood Moon Wolf King of the Soul Wolf lineage, having advanced to Middle Golden Core, while Tongming warned that the legendary wolf’s appearance brought misfortune to the world.

• Wolf Ancestor endured a series of calamities until his bad luck passed, then Yang Haoyu’s die toss confirmed his fortune had improved.

• Yang Tianyou explained why he believed the risks were manageable and said the shortage of defenders remained the main obstacle.
• Yunhua suggested that allied Golden Core forces provide manpower and that the Yang Household hire Golden Core Rogue Cultivators to guard its Spirit Veins.
• Yang Haoyu approved Yang Tianyou's plan to defeat the four Foreign Race forces and expand the Yang Household's territory.

Yang Tianyou presided over a Lineage Small Meeting where Yang Dangkai reported the Yang Household’s growth and the senior members settled four major matters. The meeting established new succession ranks, preparations for the Cold Tide War, and plans for a Purple Moon Dharma Assembly ten years later; the final allocation of Spirit Root Modification Resources was also settled, though the chapter did not specify the details.

• Yang Tianyou reviewed the eighteen departments and their leaders, noting the Lineage’s growing strength and the senior members’ cultivation.
• Yang Dangkai reported that the Yang Household had grown in income, population, and cultivator numbers, including five Golden Core Cultivators and 134 Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

• The Yang Household planned to hold the Purple Moon Dharma Assembly in Purple Moon City in ten years, with combat and cultivation-arts contests, and to promote it across the Lu Wu Realm.

The Yang Household awarded its last two Spirit Root Modification Resources to Yang Tianshi and Yang Lihe, then announced the schedule for selecting the [Twelve Stars] and [Three-Month]. As the first [Twelve Stars] selection approached, Yang Yuqi and Yang Yujin prepared to pursue the title, while Yang Lihe’s family celebrated his reward and he offered it to his daughter.

• Yang Tianshi and Yang Lihe received the final two portions of Spirit Root Modification Resources for their contributions to the Lineage.
• The Lineage announced that the first [Twelve Stars] would be selected in three years and the first [Three-Month] in fifteen years, after which their regular schedules would resume.
• Yang Yuqi decided to improve his Spirit Plant skills and hold back his cultivation so he could seek a [Twelve Stars] title, while planning to attend the Purple Moon Dharma Assembly in ten years.
• Yang Xuanle urged Yang Yujin to win a [Twelve Stars] title, and Yang Yujin assured his father he was confident despite the pressure.
• Yang Lihe celebrated his Spirit Root Modification Resources with Yang Tianyun and Yang Xuanli, then offered them to his daughter, who refused to take his opportunity.

A year after the Yang Household announced its Purple Moon Dharma Assembly, the Fierce Ghost Cave Secret Realm fully matured and entered the void, improving its resources. Yang Tianyou and Yunhua planned to use slaughtering operations to supply it with souls and other energies, leaving the Lineage to develop the scheme gradually.

• Yang Lihe, Yang Tianyun, and Yang Xuanli discussed the Lineage's sequence training system, and Yang Xuanli confidently said she could earn a place among the Twelve Stars.
• Powers across Luochuan Commandery and neighboring commanderies began preparing to attend the Purple Moon Dharma Assembly in ten years.
• After more than thirty years of work, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua watched the Fierce Ghost Cave Secret Realm complete its transformation and enter the void.
• Yang Tianyou and Yunhua inspected the secret realm's improved Yin-Soul Liquid, Soul-Gathering Stone, and Cold Yin Water, and Yunhua noted that the realm needed a new source of remnant souls.
• Yang Tianyou proposed turning the secret realm into a slaughterhouse that could absorb the souls and energies released when beasts were killed.
• Yunhua proposed establishing slaughterhouses across the Yang Household's towns and villages and using Law Artifacts to collect Soul Power, and Yang Tianyou agreed to begin with that plan.

Yang Tianyou and Yunhua chose Wolf Ancestor to master the Fierce Ghost Cave Secret Realm, whose origin power matched his bloodline. After Wolf Ancestor refined it and the realm was renamed the Blood Moon Secret Realm, he created a passage for the Yang Household’s Slaughter Valley, and Yang Tianyou left its arrangements to other clan members.

• Yunhua recommended Wolf Ancestor as Secret Realm Master because his Blood Moon Wolf King bloodline suited the Fierce Ghost Cave Secret Realm’s origin, and Yang Tianyou agreed.
• A month later, Wolf Ancestor swallowed and refined the Secret Realm Origin, becoming the Blood Moon Secret Realm’s master and gaining the ability to draw on its power.
• Yunhua proposed naming the secret realm the Blood Moon Secret Realm and its core mountain Wolf Ancestor Peak, and Wolf Ancestor accepted both names.
• Wolf Ancestor began constructing a Secret Realm Passage in a valley on Purple Moon Mountain, and Yang Tianyou named the valley Slaughter Valley by carving its name into a cliff with his Blade Intent.

• After the passage was completed, Yang Tianyou assigned Yang Dangkai, Yang Lihe, and Yang Tianwang to organize Slaughter Valley, then departed with the others.

• Yang Tiankang chose to leave, emerged from a hidden underwater spot north of Four Symbols Island, and flew toward the island.

He left with new information and a potential ally in Sun Tingdong, while the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island became part of the Star Lodge’s forces in the Sea Abyss Archipelago.
