Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, Mu Yawen, and Zhou Qiaoling entered the new Bed Wars mode and began competing to gather resources and destroy the other teams’ beds. As they built bridges toward the islands, the Blue Team angled its path toward their base, forcing them to rush back to defend their bed.

• Zhong Yi assigned Mu Yawen to raid enemy beds, Zhou Yue to collect resources at Central Island, and Zhou Qiaoling to defend their bed.

• Zhou Yue drew the pursuers away and arranged for Zhong Yi to collect the Spirit Stones he would drop, while Zhong Yi struggled to finish the Wool bridge.
• Zhou Yue dropped the Spirit Stones behind Wool cover and ran off to lure the pursuers away as Zhong Yi finally reached the island and picked them up.

• Zhong Yi directed Mu Yawen to harass opponents while Zhou Yue collected shards and killed two enemies, securing 100 Chaos Shards.
• Zhou Yue crushed the Chaos Orb, and its random effect summoned Black Curtain.

• Lu Ze recognized the fifteen Heavenly Prides in the match and found Zhong Yi assigned as his teammate.
• Lu Ze reassured Zhong Yi that the opponents could not win, then bought gear, Wool, and fishing rods while telling Zhong Yi to fish at the base.
• Zhong Yi refused to fish and watched as players from the other teams hurried toward Central Island.
• Lu Ze called Zhong Yi over to watch, then bridged through the air at incredible speed without crouching or slowing down.

Lu Ze used his Celestial Bridge to reach the Central Island first, then ambushed the other players with chained Fireball Talismans and killed Li Jiujian. While Lu Ze focused on gathering resources and avoiding a drawn-out fight, Li Jiujian respawned and challenged him again, only to be killed a second time.

• Lu Ze dodged Zhou Yue’s sword, pulled out scissors, and cut away the Wool beneath Zhou Yue’s feet.

Lu Ze manipulated Zhou Yue and Li Moran into fighting, then killed Zhou Yue after Li Moran defeated him. He faced Li Moran in a duel as a large audience watched, doubting his ability to win in a direct fight.

• Lu Ze chased Li Moran across the island, but Zhou Yue recovered and demanded that Lu Ze fight fairly.

• White Curtain stabbed Zhou Yue from behind, earning 1.3 Demonic Value, and Li Moran challenged him to a duel.
• Viewers gathered to watch White Curtain face Li Moran, while Zhong Yi and the crowd expected Li Moran to defeat him.

Lu Ze used a precise hit-select technique to defeat Li Moran, then went to the Red Team Base and killed Li Jiujian and Gu Lingfei while collecting their resources. Li Moran gained insight from the battle and vowed to defeat him as Lu Ze prepared for the next random event.

Lu Ze terrorized the Purple Team as White Curtain, trapping its members on an obsidian-topped wool pillar and earning Zhong Yi’s admiration with his elaborate Minecraft maneuvers. After roaming the map and defeating the remaining players, he faced a rare random event that enabled skill mods, destroyed every team’s bed, and prevented respawns.

• After Zhong Yi praised Lu Ze’s skills, a rare random event enabled mods for surviving players, destroyed every team’s bed, and stopped players from respawning after death.

A Divinely Blessed Random Event gave the players powerful Skill modules but removed their ability to revive, leaving Lu Ze worried about losing Demonic Value rather than losing the fight. As the other teams prepared to attack him, Lu Ze hesitated over which module to choose.

After returning to the Spirit Jade Pavilion, he received a mission involving a Secret Realm in the Great Zhou Western Region.

• Liu Dumu planned to exploit the Treasure Land's movement restrictions to injure the late-stage Golden Core disciples and capture them.

Lu Ze and the others entered the Heavenly Dao Mystic Realm, where Lu Ze recognized a suspicious signpost leading to a Treasure Land. Demon Path cultivators ambushed Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen outside but were overwhelmed by their hidden strength, while Lu Ze's group entered the trapped Treasure Land and found a bizarre obstacle course.

• Lu Ze met Chen Yiyun, Wang Tianjing, and Xu Hao before entering the Secret Realm with them, while Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen stayed outside to play Bed Wars.
• Lu Ze's Spiritual Sense quickly surpassed Xu Hao's as the group explored the ruined Mystic Realm and followed a conspicuous signpost.
• Two Nascent Soul Early Stage Demon Cultivators tried to attack Zhong Yi and Mu Yawen, but the pair revealed Spirit Transformation Stage auras and pinned them down.
• Lu Ze located the Demon Path cultivators' hiding place near the Treasure Land, while Xu Hao dismissed Wang Tianjing's warnings and led the group inside.
• The group entered the Treasure Land, where a restriction weakened them and they found shifting stone steps, bloody Ground Spikes, and strange pits; the others looked at Lu Ze suspiciously, and he denied making the traps.

Lu Ze and the others entered a Treasure Land filled with traps, where their familiarity with the traps bewildered the Demon Cultivators lying in wait. After Lu Ze entered a sealed cave to confront Helmsman Liu, he prepared to test his powers and see whether the Demon Cultivators would yield Demonic Value.

• Chen Yiyun, Xu Hao, and Wang Tianjing recognized the traps from the Illusion Realm “If You're a Cultivator, Descend a Hundred Levels” and confidently began crossing them.
• Helmsman Liu and his henchman watched in disbelief as the three disciples avoided the traps and cut down hidden weapons with their swords.
• Lu Ze rushed to protect the disciples, while the henchman mistakenly dismissed the motionless youth at the rear before he crossed the traps with ease.
• Helmsman Liu ordered the Demon Cultivators to attack, and Lu Ze charged into the Black Cave as the others faced the attackers outside.
• A barrier sealed the cave entrance, and Helmsman Liu confronted Lu Ze; Lu Ze readied purple lightning and Extreme Ice Sword Qi, eager to test powerful techniques and gain Demonic Value.

Lu Ze emerged from the cave after killing Liu Dumu and found Xu Hao, Wang Tianjing, and Chen Yiyun still fighting the Demon Cultivators. After they secured the Earth Vein Jade Marrow, Lu Ze proposed a way to decide who would receive it and suggested Russian Roulette.

• Xu Hao, Wang Tianjing, and Chen Yiyun fought eight Demon Cultivators outside the cave while Liu Dumu's confidant claimed the barrier would open only when someone inside died.
• Lu Ze killed Liu Dumu inside the cave, discovered that killing Demon Path cultivators granted no Demonic Value, and emerged as the barrier shattered.
• Outside the Secret Realm, Zhong Yi captured two Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators and prepared to notify the Elders that Lu Ze was in danger.
• With Liu Dumu dead, the remaining Demon Cultivators fled, and Lu Ze and the others won the fight.
• Lu Ze showed the others the Earth Vein Jade Marrow and insisted it should be shared, prompting Xu Hao, Wang Tianjing, and Chen Yiyun to argue over how to divide it.
• Lu Ze proposed Russian Roulette as a game that would test calculation, luck, and courage.

• Lu Ze finished the Illusion Realm, handed out Illusion Crystal Stones, and entered it with the others.
• Lu Ze introduced the Cheater's Tavern and displayed its card rules, including bluffing, challenging, and pulling the Trigger for the losing player.

Lu Ze started a Russian Roulette card game with Xu Hao, Wang Tianjing, and Chen Yiyun, whose cultivation had been sealed by the Illusion Realm. Xu Hao lost a challenge but survived his first trigger pull, while Wang Tianjing’s deceptive play made him a threat to Lu Ze’s hoped-for reward.

• Xu Hao, Wang Tianjing, and Chen Yiyun readied their Hand Crossbows, and the game began with Heaven as the target card.
• Xu Hao played one Heaven, Wang Tianjing claimed two Heavens, and Chen Yiyun chose not to challenge him before playing a genuine Heaven.
• Xu Hao, unable to play a Heaven card, put down a false card, and Wang Tianjing immediately challenged him.
• The revealed card was a Human, so Xu Hao had to press the Hand Crossbow to his temple and pull the Trigger.
• The chamber was empty, and Xu Hao survived his first death challenge while Lu Ze observed the players’ fear.

Xu Hao, Chen Yiyun, and Wang Tianjing played a deadly illusion game, where Wang Tianjing died on his first shot and Xu Hao won. Outside the Secret Realm, the elders divined that someone had died and joined forces to intervene, unsure whether the disciples inside could hold on.

• Chen Yiyun challenged Wang Tianjing’s claim of two earth cards, exposed his lie, and Wang Tianjing fired the Hand Crossbow, dying in the illusion.
• Wang Tianjing’s talking corpse urged Xu Hao and Chen Yiyun to finish the game, and Xu Hao won after surviving five shots.
• Wang Tianjing, Xu Hao, and Chen Yiyun eagerly started round after round of the game instead of searching for the Secret Realm’s treasures.
• The elders gathered outside the Secret Realm, found its restrictions unusually powerful, and feared the disciples might be facing a demon-path ambush.
• Chi Shengtian’s divination showed the word “Death,” so Nangong Yuan urged the elders to act together as Chao Wendao worried about the disciples inside.

Lu Ze joined Xu Hao, Chen Yiyun, and Wang Tianjing for a proper round of Liar’s Teahouse after they finished practicing. The game began with Lu Ze holding five false cards, and he opened by claiming three Heaven cards, leaving Chen Yiyun to decide whether to challenge him.

• Wang Tianjing won the previous game, and Xu Hao vowed not to make eye contact with him again.
• Chen Yiyun urged the others to play another round, but Wang Tianjing invited Lu Ze to join a proper game for the Secret Treasure.
• Lu Ze accepted after observing the others’ playing styles and took the final seat at the table.
• The players received their hands, and Lu Ze discovered that all five of his cards were Human cards rather than the target Heaven cards.
• Xu Hao played two Heaven cards, and Lu Ze calmly played three cards while claiming they were Heaven cards and inviting Chen Yiyun to guess.

Lu Ze used his opponents’ habits and suspicions to bluff through a card round, then played three real Humans in the next round despite repeating the same trick. Chen Yiyun ended the chapter furious after challenging him and losing.

• Lu Ze read Chen Yiyun’s tells and played three fake cards, while Wang Tianjing urged her to challenge and Lu Ze made her doubt his motives.
• Chen Yiyun finally played her only Heaven, and Wang Tianjing played three Heavens before Xu Hao challenged him and revealed two Heavens and one Immortal.
• Xu Hao survived the Hand Crossbow’s empty chamber, and the next round’s target became Human.
• Lu Ze played three cards as Humans and invited the others to guess again, prompting Chen Yiyun to challenge him.
• Lu Ze revealed three real Humans, leaving Chen Yiyun to complain that she was stuck between two swindlers before demanding to be killed.

At the Secret Realm entrance, Chi Shengtian’s divination revealed another disciple had died, prompting the furious elders to attack the captured demon cultivators. Inside the Illusion Realm, Lu Ze eliminated Xu Hao and Chen Yiyun in a bluffing game, then prepared to face Wang Tianjing for the secret treasure and mission rewards.
