After receiving a reward that could restore incomplete spells and finishing his game releases, Lu Ze was pushed by a new system mission to make a horror game that would earn fear points. He settled on a localized version of Phasmophobia and volunteered to catch ghosts, despite Nangong Yuan warning him away from dangerous activity in the Immortal Abyss Continent.

• Lu Ze received the Heavenly Evolution Jade as his reward and used it to complete the Formless Iterative Realm.
• Lu Ze finished the Spirit Cloud Sect's championship skins and game modes as Immortal-Demon Supremacy's player base and his demonic value continued to grow.
• The system assigned Lu Ze a thirty-day mission to use malevolent entities to frighten cultivators and earn fear points.
• Lu Ze decided to create a Chinese-style horror game based on Phasmophobia, using real ghosts and the Fearful Soul Entanglement Array.
• Lu Ze asked Nangong Yuan for ghost-catching missions, insisted on taking one, and heard a warning about deadly disturbances in the Immortal Abyss Continent.

Lu Ze finished creating a ghost-hunting Illusion Realm using the souls he had collected and prepared to test it on Revered Netherworld Soul, a Spirit Transformation expert. Revered Netherworld Soul rejected the invitation as an insult, leaving Nangong Yuan to face his complaint.

• Lu Ze filled the Myriad Souls Banner with ghosts and used them to build a Phasmophobia-inspired Illusion Realm with ghost-detection Artifacts and fear-amplifying arrays.

• Lu Ze praised Du Ming and invited him to try the newly completed Illusion Realm.
• Du Ming accused the Spirit Cloud Sect of humiliating him by asking him to test a disciple's Illusion Realm.

Lu Ze released the ghost-themed Illusion Realm Ghost Town Terror as Spirit Cloud Sect hired Revered Netherworld Soul to teach disciples how to face ghosts. After Lu Ze’s friends entered the new Illusion Realm, they encountered its first frightening scene.

• Nangong Yuan explained that ghosts in the northern Immortal Abyss Continent could pierce cultivators’ defenses and frighten or mentally overwhelm weaker disciples, and Lu Ze suggested his Illusion Realm could help them overcome that fear.
• Revered Netherworld Soul chose a reward plan based on attendance and lessons, then planned to withhold his strongest ghosts so the disciples would fail the final examination and Spirit Cloud Sect would pay more.
• Lu Ze released Ghost Town Terror, prompting cultivators on Immortal-Demon Supremacy and the Spirit Cloud Sect Forum to discuss and challenge one another over the ghost-themed Illusion Realm.
• Zhong Yi gathered Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen at Azure Cloud Pavilion to try Ghost Town Terror, with the group drawn by curiosity, competition, and collaboration rewards.
• The four entered the Illusion Realm, where a blood-red eyeball opened in the darkness before Zhong Yi appeared inside a cozy little house.

Zhong Yi and his team entered the Haunted House Illusion Realm, where they had to investigate a ghost without cultivation or weapons. As the group went inside, Zhong Yi noticed that a breeze had lowered his Sanity Points from 100 to 99.

• Zhong Yi discovered the cabin’s Artifact shop, ghost information, and mode settings, then organized a team and started their first game.
• The team learned that they had no cultivation or weapons and would need to identify the entity and complete optional objectives using clues and defensive items.
• Zhou Qiaoling inspected their supplies, while Mu Yawen confidently led the group out of the carriage toward the Haunted House.
• Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue recognized ominous feng shui around the house as cultivators watched their stream and expected them to make quick work of the Illusion Realm.
• Zhong Yi noticed his Sanity Points had fallen from 100 to 99 after a chilly breeze rustled the pagoda tree outside.

Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen explored the Haunted House, where darkness drained their Sanity Points and the Fearful Soul Entanglement Array made the danger feel real. After they spotted a ghost in a captured image, blood-red embroidered shoes appeared on Zhong Yi’s feet, and every lantern went out.

• Zhong Yi and the others entered the Haunted House, relit its lanterns, and learned from his book that they needed to find the Ghost Room.
• Zhou Qiaoling photographed Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi, and the image showed a blurred woman standing between them.
• Zhou Yue took out the Cold-Pointing Needle to search for the Ghost Room after the group saw the ghost in the photograph.
• Zhong Yi found himself unable to move because blood-red embroidered shoes had appeared on his feet, causing the group’s Sanity Points to plummet.
• Zhou Qiaoling screamed, Mu Yawen rushed over, and a sinister wind extinguished every lantern in the house.

Mu Yawen, Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Zhong Yi searched a dark haunted house for matches as their Sanity Points fell and their protection period ended. Zhong Yi was separated from the others by a Ghost Wall, while Zhou Qiaoling realized someone unseen was holding her clothes.

• Mu Yawen led the group through the dark room with a Spirit Lantern as they searched for the cabinet of matches.
• Zhong Yi warned that falling Sanity Points heightened their sensitivity and that the protection period would last only five minutes.
• After a crow-like cry signaled the protection period had ended, Mu Yawen found the basement entrance and led the others downstairs.
• Zhou Yue noticed Zhong Yi had gone silent and realized he was missing, while Zhou Qiaoling feared that the person holding her clothes was not Zhong Yi.
• Zhong Yi found himself trapped in a room with four doors and descending bloody ghost hands, then spotted a bronze mirror that might help him escape.

Zhong Yi was trapped in a Ghost Wall and used a bronze mirror to uncover the changing route out, while each vision and ghostly touch drained his Sanity Points. He escaped through the north gate and collapsed on the basement stairs as three familiar figures approached.

• Zhong Yi used the bronze mirror and first followed its illusion to the west gate, but it returned him to the Ghost Wall as the ghost hands descended.
• Zhong Yi realized the mirror world was reversed and used another vision to identify the north gate, losing more Sanity Points in the process.
• Zhong Yi crept beneath the ghost hands and endured their touches until he forced his way through the north gate.
• Zhong Yi returned to the basement staircase, exhausted, and saw three familiar figures approaching from below.

Zhou Qiaoling, Zhou Yue, and Mu Yawen mistook Zhong Yi for a ghost in the Haunted House Illusion Realm and shut him in the basement with a terrifying female ghost. The chapter ended with them pinning the Iron Gate down while Zhong Yi desperately tried to escape beneath it.

• A female ghost appeared in the basement, and Zhou Yue dragged Mu Yawen away before she could use her Pure Yang Spirit Body.
• Zhou Qiaoling, Zhou Yue, and Mu Yawen fled up the stairs, trampling and kicking Zhong Yi in the dark without recognizing him.
• The three escaped the basement and shut the Iron Gate, while Zhong Yi came face-to-face with the female ghost below.
• Zhong Yi pounded on the Iron Gate and shouted for help, but Zhou Yue mistook his voice for the ghost impersonating him.
• Zhou Yue and Zhou Qiaoling held the door down as Zhong Yi battered it, and Mu Yawen jumped onto it until the pounding stopped.

Zhong Yi scolded Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen after the four of them were killed by a Wandering Ghost, then explained what he had learned about identifying evil entities. Despite Zhou Qiaoling's fear, the group prepared to enter the Haunted House again.

• Zhong Yi berated Zhou Yue, Zhou Qiaoling, and Mu Yawen for locking him in the basement, where the female ghost killed him.
• The other three lost Sanity Points in the darkness and were killed by the female ghost soon after relighting their lanterns.
• As a spectator, Zhong Yi observed the Illusion Realm and concluded that a ghost's appearance and behavior could mislead them about its type, so they needed evidence from books and appraisal Artifacts.
• Zhou Qiaoling tried to log off after becoming frightened, but Zhou Yue and Zhong Yi scolded her into staying.
• The four selected their equipment and returned to the Haunted House.
