Chapter Summaries

Yang Tianyou arranged for the Luochuan River Dragon King to cultivate toward Spirit Transformation so he could ambush True Person Beigong, a plan that also advanced his ambitions against the Luochuan Sect. Three months later, the Dragon King endured his tribulation on the Cangji Plateau, and Yang Tianyou collected the Tribulation Lightning Liquid produced by his talisman.

• Yang Tianyou had the Water God Dao Soldier collect the liquid for the Yang Household's cultivation resources.

After the Luochuan River Dragon King survived his Heart Demon tribulation and reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, Yang Tianyou guided him toward the Chaotic Sea. Yang Tianyou then entered the Four Symbols Tower to take the formal Saint Son assessment and passed its first trial.

• The Guardian Deity General led Yang Tianyou to the Four Symbols Tower, where Yang Tianyou learned that passing the assessment would let him inherit thirty percent of the White Tiger Lineage's resources.
• Yang Tianyou entered the first bronze door and endured a desert illusion that magnified his suffering and despair until his blade cry shattered it.
• The Guardian Deity General announced that Yang Tianyou had passed the first assessment.

Yang Tianyou entered the White Tiger Treasury as the official White Tiger Sacred Son and discovered the vast resources and lineage records available to him. After viewing the treasury’s holdings, he wondered whether they all belonged to his Yang Household.

• The Guardian Deity General explained that the Four Symbols Sect had a communal treasury and four lineage treasuries, with official Sacred Sons eligible to inherit part of their lineage’s resources.

• Yang Tianyou was overwhelmed by the treasury’s wealth and asked if all of it belonged to his Yang Household.

• Yang Tianyou copied the Scripture Repository’s texts and exchanged for the damaged Sixth Tier White Tiger Boat, the Grand Mystery Illusory Void Formation, and the Four Symbols Thunder Pearl.
• Yang Tianyou left the treasure vault after three hours of shopping and collected the Luochuan River Dragon King on his way to Four Symbols Island.

Yang Tianyou arranged to have True Person Beigong intercepted while avoiding direct involvement that could violate the Heavenly Dao Contract, and obtained intelligence on the Demon Puppet Venerable and Blood-Slaying Dao. The chapter introduced Dao Disciple Yesang and ended with his supporter, the Cloud-Swallowing Walker, arriving on Four Symbols Island unaware of the danger awaiting him.

• Yang Tianyou warned Wuhuang not to attack Beigong because the Heavenly Dao Contract could bring down punishment on him.
• Yang Tianyou asked Wuhuang to investigate the Demon Puppet Venerable and the Blood-Slaying Dao, and she promised information within three days.

• The chapter described Dao Disciple Yesang as a favored successor of Demon Venerable Yelan and the Cloud-Swallowing Walker as his devoted supporter.
• The Cloud-Swallowing Walker arrived on Four Symbols Island to buy cultivation resources, unaware of the danger he faced.

• Cloud-Swallowing Walker tried to flee the Spiritvoid Trading Grounds, but Luochuan River Dragon King seized him and Yang Tianyou drew his soul into the Jade Register Heavenly Book.
• Yang Tianyou used his increased control over the Jade Register Heavenly Book to keep Cloud-Swallowing Walker's soul aura alive, then returned to Four Symbols Island with Luochuan River Dragon King.

• A Fifth-Tier Flood Dragon Puppet joined the attack, and True Person Beigong brought out the Luochuan Bottle to defend himself.

Yang Tianyou and the Luochuan River Dragon King defeated and killed True Person Beigong inside the Sea-Covering Sky-Shrouding Formation. Yang Tianyou considered the century-long grudge half settled, with the Luochuan Sect’s Grand Elder and the sect itself still to be dealt with.

• True Person Beigong fought the Luochuan River Dragon King and the Flood Dragon Puppet, then used the Firewood Immortal to burn through the formation barrier and tried to escape.

• The Luochuan River Dragon King used the Radiant Gold Pool to overwhelm the Luochuan Bottle, forcing True Person Beigong to spend his remaining defensive treasures.
• The Luochuan River Dragon King severed True Person Beigong’s arm and stopped his attempted self-destruction with an ancient mirror before killing him.
• Yang Tianyou watched the Luochuan River Dragon King collect the spoils and resolved to kill the Luochuan Sect’s Grand Elder and uproot the sect.

After Yang Tianyou killed True Person Beigong, Yunhua spread word of his death and the Grand Elder’s grave injury through Luochuan Commandery. The Luochuan Sect’s elders gathered to respond, fearing the Zhou Household would strike while the sect lacked a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

• Yang Tianyou flew toward Divine Sword Island with the spoils from True Person Beigong’s death, planning to return home and leave cultivation resources for the Yang Household.

• The Grand Elder told thirteen Nascent Soul Cultivators that True Person Beigong had fallen, alarming the assembled elders.
• True Person Yunting urged the elders to stay calm, while Chenyangzi and others debated concealing the death and seeking aid if the Zhou Household attacked.

• The Grand Elder stopped True Person Yun Hai from following and ordered him to remain at the sect for another task.

The Luochuan Sect prepared for war after True Person Beigong’s death, while the Grand Elder sought a Spirit Transformation Pill to strengthen the sect. True Person Yunting asked Yunhua for Yang Household reinforcements, but she refused to send combatants and instead gave him War Law Artifacts, urging him to preserve the sect’s Lineage.

The Luochuan Sect prepared for war while its Grand Elder sacrificed the sect’s treasures to secure a Spirit Transformation Pill for True Person Wanying. At the Zhou Household, Zhou Hong ordered an attack on Luochuan Island to test whether True Person Beigong had died, while planning to plunder resources and negotiate with the Yang Household.

• The Grand Elder gave True Person Tianyun War Law Artifacts from Yunhua and revealed that the Mountain and River Hall had agreed to sell the Luochuan Sect a Spirit Transformation Pill.

The Zhou Household Spirit Transformation cultivators attacked Luochuan Island to confirm whether True Person Beigong was alive, while the Grand Elder defended the sect despite his severe injuries. Convinced Beigong had fallen, they notified the Zhou Household Lineage to begin its assault, leaving the Luochuan Sect braced for a larger attack.

The Zhou Household launched an attack on Luochuan Commandery, captured Luochuan City, and dealt the Luochuan Sect a major blow when True Person Wanying's breakthrough failed. The sect's elders turned to preserving its legacy as the city fell and their hopes of a Spirit Transformation cultivator vanished.
