Chapter Summaries

Nie Qing'er struggled between continuing her revenge against the Zhao Household and choosing a life with Zhao Tingfeng. At the Yang Household, Qi Guijie investigated rumors that it had obtained the Dragon Valley Sect's inheritance, and Yang Haoyu defended the household by exposing the Zhao Household's alliance with the Black Sha Sect.

• Nie Qing'er reflected on her years of spying for the Yang Household and decided to cherish her remaining time with Zhao Tingfeng for now.

• Yang Haoyu brought Zhao Yunxiao before Qi Guijie, and Zhao Yunxiao confessed that the Zhao Household had hired the Black Sha Sect to attack the Yang and Mu Households.
• Qi Guijie verified Zhao Yunxiao's account and concluded that the Yang Household had a defensible reason for its actions against the Zhao Household.

Yang Haoyu agreed to send Yang Household cultivators to help the Three Rivers Sect transport the Zhao Household’s hundred thousand mortals, while considering the danger their resentment could pose to the Yang Household. With no assignment, Yang Tianyou visited Purple Moon Town, where Yang Tianjiu showed him a gambling hall he had opened in secret.

• Yang Tianjiu asked the Golden Tortoise how long it would take to gather Wealth Qi, and it estimated eight years while recalling its former companions under Lord Zhaocai.

Yang Tianyou paused his attempt to refine the Great White Gold Eyes and entered the Blade Prison to improve his Blade Intent. After battling a Green Dragon Crescent Moon Blade and absorbing its Blade Intent, he returned to his body in intense pain.

• Yang Tianyou was expelled from the Blade Prison and endured piercing pain as he returned to his body.

Yang Tianyou discovered that his lack of Body Cultivator Aptitude was blocking his progress with the One-Qi Capturing Hand, so he used four wisps of Qi of Creation to transform his body. After enduring intense pain, the transformation ended and he felt waves of comfort.

• Yang Tianyou resumed cultivating the One-Qi Capturing Hand and found that his fleshly body's aptitude was a bottleneck to forming its Divine Ability Seed.
• Yang Tianyou decided to spend four of his six remaining wisps of Qi of Creation on improving his Body Cultivator Aptitude while reserving the rest for the Twin Blades and Starlight.

• Yang Tianyou endured an hour of searing pain as his body transformed, then felt comfort spreading through him.
