Arc 2The Evil Bodhisattva
Chen Shi’s cultivation and violent clash with the Zhao family lead him into a growing mystery surrounding a porcelain kiln and the True King’s Tomb. When the kiln’s sealed demon awakens and spreads its domain, Granny Sha, Prince Xiao, Jin Hongying, and Li Jindou converge to confront it.
- Granny Sha summoned Chen Shi from the Underworld, and he returned with the Ram Horn Heavenly Spirit Lamp before beginning to cultivate at the Mountain Lord Temple.
- After transforming his true blood and surviving hunger in the mountains, Chen Shi reached the Five Viscera Complete Truth stage and returned to Huangpo Village.
- Zhao Yue’s Imperial Guards killed Sanwang and pursued Chen Shi, who killed the guards, Zhao Yue, Zhao Xue'e, other Zhao family members, and He Lian Zheng.
- Prince Xiao guided Chen Shi through the Big Dipper’s talismanic stars, then brought him to Wuwang, where Chen Shi saw Jin Hongying attack Prince Xiao with cannons.
- Chen Shi rescued the wounded Prince Xiao and took him to Mirror Lake Villa, where Grandpa drove off Jin Hongying’s paper figures and warned Prince Xiao about Chen Shi’s growing Azure Ghost Hand.
- Chen Shi completed the tempering of his true bones, while Li Jindou investigated a ghostly kiln and Li Tianqing confronted Chen Shi about the deaths near Huangpo Village.
- Li Jindou discovered that the kiln’s domain centered on a movable Eight-Armed Mother Bodhisattva statue, and Chen Shi and Li Tianqing found a petrified Great Ming Treasure Ship nearby.
- Zhao Yanlong sent Zhao Cunyi to kill Chen Shi and Chen Yindu, but Grandpa revealed himself as Ganyang Mountain Person and burned Zhao Yanlong to ashes with a fire talisman.
- The Evil Bodhisattva awakened in the kiln, turning Zhao family forces and the surrounding land to porcelain as Granny Sha, Prince Xiao, Jin Hongying, and Li Jindou gathered to fight it.
