• After about two more hours, the Ancient Demon army collapsed, and its remaining fighters were wiped out or ran away.

• Lin Xuan rejected the women’s attempts to persuade him to stay, and Lu Ying'er wished him a safe journey.

Lin Xuan said farewell to the four women, then searched for the Ink Moon Tribe ruins after deciding to investigate Peacock Fairy’s disappearance later. He forced open a passage into the ruins, where five-colored spiritual light struck him as he entered.

• Lin Xuan discovered that the disguised Teleportation Array was broken, then used his spatial abilities and Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire to open a passage.
• Lin Xuan entered the passage and halted his counterattack when he recognized the incoming five-colored spiritual light, raising the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield instead.

Lin Xuan reunited with Peacock after several hundred years, but she attacked him with killing intent, apparently affected by a mysterious condition. When he tried to capture her, she escaped through a spatial crack, revealing her spatial divine ability.

• Lin Xuan tried to restrain Peacock with a net of wood-attribute origin qi, but she opened a spatial crack and escaped it.
• Lin Xuan realized Peacock had used spatial divine abilities, which he connected to the trace of Phoenix blood in her lineage.

Peacock recounted how she found the ruins and suggested the Ink Moon Tribe there had once rivaled the Luo Clan, leaving Lin Xuan surprised by their strength.

• Peacock wondered how Lin Xuan had subdued her, and he admitted that he had advanced to the Dongxuan Realm and returned from the Spirit World.
• Lin Xuan asked Peacock to explain what had happened to her, and she began recounting her years in seclusion and travels after reaching Lihe.
• Peacock told Lin Xuan that she had arrived in Heavenly Province about a hundred years earlier and had found a damaged Jade Slip containing a map to ancient ruins.
• Peacock explained that the map led her through a Teleportation Array to a small space containing the Ink Moon Tribe's ruins.
• Peacock said the ruins appeared to have belonged to a powerful Ink Moon Tribe branch, perhaps one that had been evenly matched with the Luo Clan of Heavenly Province.

Lin Xuan followed Peacock Fairy through the Ink Moon Tribe ruins to an altar where she revealed that Golden-Winged Great Peng True Spirit Blood had drawn her into a confrontation with a remnant soul. The chapter ended with Peacock explaining that the remnant soul had taken control of her body, though it had been weakened over time.

• Lin Xuan examined the ruins and inferred from the remains and Dharma Treasures that the Ink Moon Tribe had once rivaled the Luo Clan of Heavenly Province.

• Peacock Fairy told Lin Xuan that she had found a bottle of Golden-Winged Great Peng True Spirit Blood behind the statue.
• Peacock Fairy explained that the Golden-Winged Great Peng and the Phoenix were born from the Peacock Great Wisdom King, making the blood especially valuable to her.
• Peacock Fairy revealed that the blood contained a remnant soul, which had overwhelmed her soul and taken control of her body.

Lin Xuan realized the Golden-Winged Great Peng's remnant soul was gradually weakening Peacock's Primordial Spirit, and the couple searched ancient records for a way to save her. They found a clue beneath a small cauldron in the ruins, where an inscription mentioned Netherfire and a secret treasure.

• Lin Xuan told Peacock that the remnant soul was growing stronger as it weakened her Primordial Spirit, and she accepted the danger without panicking.
• Lin Xuan and Peacock spent more than a month consulting ancient records but found no solution.
• Lin Xuan reasoned that the answer might lie in the ruins where the Golden-Winged Great Peng's true blood and remnant soul had been found.
• Lin Xuan searched the ruins while Peacock examined the hall and spotted writing beneath a small cauldron.
• Peacock read the inscription aloud: “When Netherfire emerges, the secret treasure appears.”

Lin Xuan used the Azure Phantom Nether Fire to melt a cauldron and uncover an underground cavern containing an ancient formation and statues of the Ink Moon Tribe’s Four Great Immortal Masters. He realized the missing statue was likely the Heavenly Witch Goddess and produced a sealed Jade Box, leaving its contents unrevealed.

• Lin Xuan transformed the Phantom Spirit Heaven Fire into Azure Phantom Nether Fire and melted the cauldron, opening a passage underground.
• Lin Xuan and Peacock descended into a cavern where they found an ancient formation, four statues, and an empty pedestal.
• Peacock told Lin Xuan that the statues represented the Ink Moon Tribe’s Four Great Immortal Masters, with the Heavenly Witch Goddess as their leader.
• Lin Xuan concluded that the missing statue was likely the Heavenly Witch Goddess and brought out a Jade Box sealed with Restriction Talismans.

Lin Xuan restored the Heavenly Witch Goddess statue to its pedestal, activating a formation that revealed the Spirit Division stage Lower Chapter of the Ink Moon Heaven Witch Art. He memorized and recorded the text, then told Peacock that the art contained a minor technique that might help them refine True Spirit Blood.

• Lin Xuan placed the Heavenly Witch Goddess statue on its matching pedestal, and the formation activated as the statue formed hand seals.
• The formation revealed the Ink Moon Heaven Witch Art’s Lower Chapter, and Lin Xuan memorized its characters before recording them in a Jade Slip.
• Lin Xuan and Peacock searched the cave, and Lin Xuan stored the Heavenly Witch Goddess and Four Great Immortal Masters statues in Jade Boxes.
• Lin Xuan told Peacock that the cultivation method was the Ink Moon Tribe’s treasure and that he already possessed three of its four parts.
• Lin Xuan explained that Peacock could not cultivate the main art but might benefit from a minor technique related to refining True Spirit Blood.

Lin Xuan discovered that the Ink Jade True Spirit Art could help remove the remnant soul threatening Yuanyuan, and learned that they met its rare requirements. Yuanyuan agreed to inspect the secret art, leaving the couple poised to cultivate it together.

• Lin Xuan searched the ruins with Peacock, then studied the Ink Moon Tribe’s Jade Slip for more than half a month.
• Lin Xuan learned that the Ink Jade True Spirit Art required a human and a transformed demon cultivator, with one possessing a True Spirit bloodline.
• Lin Xuan realized that he and Yuanyuan met the conditions and that the art could help resolve the remnant soul’s threat.
• Lin Xuan explained the art to Yuanyuan, who blushed but agreed to examine the Jade Slip.

Lin Xuan built a palace among the ruins of the Ink Moon Tribe to celebrate his marriage to Peacock and their reunion after several hundred years. They exchanged vows and spent their wedding night together, leaving the cultivation of the Ink Jade True Spirit Art for later.
