Lin Xuan and his companions slaughtered the cultivators sent as cannon fodder, then confronted Kong Ci and the other Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect elders. After Kong Ye threatened Ouyang Qinxin, Lin Xuan struck him down and assigned Qinxin to take revenge while the others prepared for battle.

• Ouyang used her Sound Wave Technique as Wu Yun'er and the Jade Luo Bees helped wipe out the remaining cultivators.
• Kong Ci and several Nascent Soul elders emerged from the inner valley, and Lin Xuan shattered Kong Ci's Buddhist palm with Sword Qi.
• Kong Ci accused Lin Xuan and the women of killing innocents, but Lin Xuan declared that he would destroy the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and prevent its monks from reincarnating.
• Kong Ye boasted that he would capture and strip Ouyang, so Lin Xuan appeared before him and slapped him, knocking out his teeth and sending him flying.
• Lin Xuan left Kong Ye for Ouyang to fight, told Wu Yun'er to stay beside Yue'er, and faced the frightened Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect elders.

Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin fought the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect cultivators, with Ouyang facing Kong Ye and Lin Xuan confronting six elders at once. Lin Xuan seized the elders’ treasures through the Five Dragon Seal’s clouds and mist, leaving them shocked by his strength.

• Kong Ci reached a remote mountain and believed he had escaped Lin Xuan, reflecting that Kong Ming was leading the Red Cloud Valley scheme and possessed Azure Cloud Mountain’s hidden treasure.

Lin Xuan defeated Kong Ci and learned through soul searching that Azure Cloud Mountain held a valuable treasure, then hurried back to Red Cloud Valley, where Qin Xin and Yue'er were safe. He captured Kong Ye and searched for an antidote to Qin Xin’s poison, then hinted that he had other plans.

• Kong Ci recognized Lin Xuan’s Jade Luo Bee, but Lin Xuan caught up with him and defeated him with Azure Phantom Nether Fire.

He identified Kong Ming as their next enemy and urged Wu Yun'er to return to Snow Tower City before the fight began.

• A Heavenly Ingenuity Sect elder told his Junior Sister that their sect master had lent their Second Senior Brother a treasure, giving them the strength to compete for the prize.
• Lin Xuan, Ouyang Qinxin, and Yue'er entered the cave, where Yue'er sensed resentment and Demon Qi in the fierce Yin wind.
• The Heavenly Ingenuity Sect elder and his Junior Sister found Red Cloud Valley empty and cautiously entered under concealment.
• Lin Xuan and Ouyang Qinxin flew deeper into the cave and wondered why they had encountered no ghosts or other dangers.
• A rock wall exploded into a dark hole that swallowed Lin Xuan’s divine sense, and several black lights burst out and attacked the pair.

Lin Xuan was pulled into a Spatial Vortex while trying to save Qin Xin, then awoke in a pitch-black place beside Yue'er. He learned that he had been unconscious for more than ten days and realized he had missed the appointment meant to help Yue'er form a Nascent Soul, though Yue'er hinted she might be able to do so soon.

• A Spatial Vortex swallowed Qin Xin, and Lin Xuan chose to fly into it after her despite the danger.

Lin Xuan searched for Ouyang Qinxin after the Spatial Vortex scattered them, while the Luo Family prepared a ritual in Xuanyuan City to obtain a treasure tied to the Heavenly Sha Bright King. The Luo Family Ancestor began explaining the plan to his clan, but the chapter ended before he revealed the target.

• The Luo Family Ancestor connected the treasure to the Heavenly Sha Bright King's bloodline, but had not yet revealed what the clan intended to obtain.

The Luo Family Ancestor revealed his plan to seize the Asura God Blood and use it to restore his clan’s power, while Lin Xuan and Yue'er recognized the strange land they had entered as the mysterious Indeterminate River. The Luo elders set out for Xuanyuan City as Lin Xuan began searching for clues about where he was.

• The Luo Family Ancestor explained that the Asura God Blood could strengthen the Luo family and described the legendary Asura King who had left it behind.

• Lin Xuan fought off nearly a hundred ghosts, then noted that the area contained an unusually large number of Yin Veins.
• Lin Xuan and Yue'er concluded that they had entered the Indeterminate River, one of the Three Sacred Lands, and Lin Xuan searched for clues while considering its uncertain nature.

Lin Xuan searched the Indeterminate River for Ouyang Qinxin, while Ouyang woke in a strange, yin-filled place and fled a swarm of ghosts. Elsewhere, a Heavenly Ingenuity Sect elder and his junior sister searched an ancient cave for a treasure until a Spatial Vortex appeared and dragged her in.

• Lin Xuan sent Yue'er into his sleeve and hurried through the Indeterminate River to find Ouyang Qinxin.
• Ouyang Qinxin awakened in a black landscape, worried about Lin Xuan and the Heavenly Spider Gu Poison still suppressed in her body.

• A veiled female cultivator and the second elder of the Heavenly Ingenuity Sect discussed their fruitless search for a treasure in the ancient cave and the traces of battle at Red Cloud Valley.
• A Spatial Vortex burst through a stone wall, and the veiled female cultivator was sucked inside while the elder resisted its pull.

The masked female cultivator was swallowed by a Spatial Vortex after she used a Thunder Bead to drag her Senior Brother into danger, while Ouyang Qinxin faced pursuing ghosts as her Heavenly Spider Gu Poison began to flare. Kong Ming discovered an inscription hinting at the Asura King’s traveling palace, and the Luo Family Ancestor received unexpected news from an agent in Xuanyuan City.

• The masked female cultivator threw a Thunder Bead into the Spatial Vortex, increasing its suction before she was swallowed and her Senior Brother was pulled toward it.

• The Luo Family party rested near Xuanyuan City, where the Luo Family Ancestor received a secret transmission from a disciple inside the city.
• The Luo Family Ancestor told Luo Zicong and the others that the news brought unexpected changes.

The Luo Family Ancestor learned that Huitong had apparently been killed and changed the family’s plan to seize the Asura God Blood in the Indeterminate River. Meanwhile, Ouyang Qinxin, weakened by poison and surrounded by ghosts, unleashed a golden Dharma Idol as her desperate counterattack began.

• The Luo Family Ancestor told the Luo cultivators that Huitong had vanished after a battle, and that traces suggested Meng Ruyan might have fought him.
• A new message revealed that someone had found half of Huitong’s body, prompting the Ancestor to revise his plan and lead the family into the Indeterminate River for the Asura God Blood.
• The Luo Family Ancestor explained that the family intended to use a blood sacrifice and nine Ghost Maidens to open the passage, then set out with the cultivators for Xuanyuan City.
• Ouyang Qinxin fought off a swarm of ghosts with her zither while the Heavenly Spider Gu Poison weakened her and their leader avoided confronting her directly.
• Ouyang Qinxin closed her eyes, chanted an ancient incantation, and released a golden Dharma Idol, startling the gray-robed monster nearby.

Ouyang unleashed a dangerous Dharma Manifestation and the Nine Heavens Soul-Absorbing Melody against the Corpse Demon and surrounding ghosts. After the melody weakened her, the Corpse Demon fled, but Ouyang struck back with lethal sound waves as it summoned its Corpse Bead.

• The Corpse Demon attacked Ouyang with claw-lights, but her golden Dharma Manifestation dispersed them and revealed nine heads and eighteen arms.
• Ouyang used the Nine Heavens Soul-Absorbing Melody, mesmerizing the ghosts and the Corpse Demon despite the severe strain on her body and Nascent Soul.
• When Ouyang paused to cough, the Corpse Demon recovered enough to flee.
• Ouyang resumed playing, and golden sound waves shredded the surrounding ghosts and raced toward the Corpse Demon.
• The Corpse Demon spat out its black Corpse Bead to defend itself.

Ouyang Qinxin defeated the Corpse Demon with a forbidden technique but collapsed as the Heavenly Spider Gu Poison and the strain of the technique overwhelmed her. Lin Xuan found her near death and, despite the danger, prepared to attempt to save her while Yue'er guarded them.

• Ouyang Qinxin shattered the Corpse Demon’s defenses, cut him apart, and burned his remains and the other ghosts to ashes.

• Lin Xuan told Yue'er to guard them while he tried to heal Qin Xin, and Yue'er agreed.

Lin Xuan left Yue'er outside a cave while he tended to Ouyang Qinxin, and Xiao Tao emerged from the Mysterious Yin Treasure Box to scold him for making Yue'er unhappy. The two spoke about Yue'er's devotion before she asked Xiao Tao why reaching Nascent Soul Formation had become so difficult.

• Lin Xuan carved out a temporary cave abode, gave Yue'er Formation Flags, and went inside with the injured Ouyang Qinxin.
• Left outside, Yue'er struggled to express jealousy over Lin Xuan's affection for other women and wondered how she could confront him.
• Xiao Tao emerged from the Mysterious Yin Treasure Box and angrily criticized Lin Xuan for neglecting Yue'er.
• Yue'er warned Xiao Tao not to insult or harm Lin Xuan, and Xiao Tao agreed while secretly planning to beat him once she recovered her strength.
• Yue'er asked Xiao Tao why Nascent Soul Formation was so difficult despite her rapid cultivation and her past as the Asura King.

Yue'er learned from Xiao Tao that cultivators in the Spirit World could gain more lifespan by surviving increasingly powerful Yuan Qi tribulations, while Yue'er herself had once been ageless and undying. Xiao Tao examined Yue'er's aptitude to discover why forming a Nascent Soul was still so difficult, but the chapter ended before she gave her answer.

• Yue'er asked Xiao Tao why her cultivation was difficult despite her exceptional status as an Asura King.
• Xiao Tao explained that cultivators who survived Yuan Qi tribulations could have their bodies and Nascent Souls tempered and gain additional lifespan.
• Yue'er learned that Yuan Qi tribulations grew stronger each time and could not form in the Human World because its Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was too thin.
• Xiao Tao told Yue'er that she had already broken free from the limits of lifespan in her previous life and did not need to undergo Yuan Qi tribulations.
• Xiao Tao examined Yue'er's aptitude with a spell, then left her embrace without revealing what she had found.
