Yunxi continued repairing her damaged body as other factions dealt with the Secret Realm’s aftermath and investigated its events.

Elsewhere, Xiao He was punished for a failed mission and forced to continue serving the evil cultivators, though he had secretly entered the Secret Realm to seek resources for his sister.

• Xian Xu and Xian Yao wondered why Feng Xiyun had been chosen to leave the Secret Realm early and decided to ask Venerable Huayu.
• Venerable Huabai and Huayu suspected Wei Yunxi had cooperated with or refined the Realm Spirit, and they arranged to watch Haoran Sect for her awakening.

• Xiao He recalled cooperating with evil cultivators to avenge his father, while sending Xiao Lei away to keep her from becoming involved.
• After leaving the Secret Realm, Xiao He avoided suspicion, traveled from the Western Regions to the Central Domain, and rented an inn room to treat his injuries.
• During Yunxi’s two-year unconsciousness, the Five Regions’ major sects intensified their investigation of evil cultivators, and Li Chang became a key lead.
• After Yunxi awoke, Leng Ruohan went to the Law Enforcement Hall to confront Zuoqiu and learned that Zuoqiu’s divine soul had escaped his body.
• Hall Master Geng told Leng Ruohan that the Law Enforcement Hall had ruled out possession as the means of escape, leading Leng Ruohan to suspect an insider had carried a soul-housing artifact out of the sect.

Leng Ruohan learned that the sect had activated Dark Night Profound Rain to investigate Zuoqiu's betrayal and suspected the Wei sisters’ changing fortunes had shaped events. On Lingxue Peak, Venerable Haoyi questioned Yunxi about saving Yuling, the Boundary Breaking Cone, and the Spiritual Vein she had used, ending by asking how she had sent it to her master.

• Yunxi told Venerable Haoyi that she had used a top-grade Spiritual Vein to supply Yuling with enough Spiritual Qi.
• Venerable Haoyi asked Yunxi how she had sent the Spiritual Vein to Yuling.

• Yunxi told Venerable Haoyi that she had rushed into Yuling’s tribulation because he had protected and provided for her, and she accepted the risk despite her damaged foundation.
• Yunxi admitted she had helped spread word about Wei Yunqing’s spirit plants and explained that Wei Yunqing and her mother had mistreated her since childhood.
• Venerable Haoyi asked Yunxi to prepare Rejuvenation Fluid, and Yunxi instead wrote down and gifted her the formula.
• Venerable Haoyi examined the formula and observed that adding one medicinal ingredient would turn it into the poison Flower Visage.

Venerable Haoyi questioned Yunxi about Zuoqiu’s escape and asked her to help expose traitors in the Haoran Sect by providing Flower Visage. After warning Yunxi that Huaxian Sect suspected her of taking the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm, Haoyi met Yuling and urged him to protect his disciple.

• Venerable Haoyi told Yunxi that Zuoqiu had escaped the Haoran Sect by abandoning his physical body, and Yunxi suspected a traitor had helped him flee.
• Haoyi revealed she had taken the Soul Nourishing Stone from Haohui and explained that she had removed the Evil Soul from Yu Su, whose body still needed purification.
• Haoyi asked Yunxi to help root out traitors and give her Flower Visage; Yunxi supplied two tubes and explained why she had used the medicine on Wei Nanfeng.
• Haoyi warned Yunxi to remain in the sect because suspects might seek her for an antidote and Huaxian Sect was watching her over suspicions about the Baohua Mountain Secret Realm.
• Yunxi swore she had not refined the Secret Realm, and the laws of heaven and earth confirmed her words.
• Haoyi met Yuling on Lingxue Peak, praised Yunxi for her resourcefulness and for helping resolve his tribulation, and told him to protect her.

• Venerable Haoyi confirmed that Yunxi was the variable whose arrival had changed Leng Ruohan’s fatal tribulation, and ordered him to keep her safe while she recuperated.
• After Haoyi left Lingxue Peak, Sect Master Yugeng arranged new Sect Missions, keeping Sheng Yuhong busy.
• Wei Yunqing met Sheng Yuhong at the Mission Hall and asked whether Yunxi had awakened, but he knew nothing because he had been stopped outside Lingxue Peak’s formation.
• Wei Yunqing considered sending the Evil Soul in her sea of consciousness into Yunxi, but abandoned the plan when she realized she could not enter Lingxue Peak.
• Wei Yunqing accompanied Sheng Yuhong to the Inner Sect Mission Hall, where he politely entered the rear hall to avoid becoming entangled with her.

After half a year of recovering from her injuries, Yunxi was targeted by two people who used a demand for the Flower Visage antidote as a cover for a soul search and abduction. Haoyi and Yuling stopped them, leaving one attacker dead and the other captured.

• Wei Yunqing left the Haoran Sect after choosing a mission, while the Evil Soul mocked her interest in Yunxi and she reinforced the seals on it.
• Yunxi spent half a year repairing her Meridians and nurturing her Nascent Soul and damaged treasures because her Dantian could not store Spiritual Qi.
• A male cultivator entered Yunxi’s courtyard at night and demanded the antidote for Flower Visage, then tried to seize her and search her soul.
• Haoyi appeared, froze the intruder, and told Yunxi that the demand was a pretext to distract her master while others sought her soul and the Breath-Concealing Potion formula.
• A second attacker slipped into Yunxi’s shadow, but Yuling moved her to safety as Haoyi killed the rogue cultivator and took the other assailant away severely injured.

Yunxi learned that evil cultivators had infiltrated the sect’s Law Enforcement Hall and helped Zuoqiu conceal his schemes, while Leng Ruohan was summoned by Old Ancestor Hao Yi. As Yunxi waited in Peak Summit Hall, she discussed her injuries and Rosy Cloud’s recovery with Dian Dian, then discovered him clinging to her lips.

• Leng Ruohan checked Yunxi’s recovery and told her that most of her Meridians had healed, while her Dantian injury remained difficult to treat.
• Leng Ruohan told Yunxi that some evil cultivators had been identified, but Zuoqiu remained missing and disciples had taken the Soul Nourishing Stone containing his divine soul out of the sect.
• Leng Ruohan recalled that the Law Enforcement Hall and its intelligence network, the “Honeycomb,” had been infiltrated and purged, and that Old Ancestor Hao Yi was investigating from the bottom up.
• After receiving a Message Talisman, Leng Ruohan sent Yunxi to Peak Summit Hall while he went to meet Old Ancestor Hao Yi.
• Yunxi asked Dian Dian about Rosy Cloud and explained her Dantian injury, then offered to set him free if it could not be repaired; Dian Dian ended up hanging from her lips.

Haoyi and the Haoran Sect’s elders planned to use Hao Ting to expose hidden spies while concealing Yunxi, but a staged disturbance at Lingxue Peak ended with Yuling returning injured. The chapter leaves the sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators shocked as Haohui reveals that Liu Qichong is a Spirit Transformation Venerable.

• Yunxi reassured Dian Dian that Haoyi and Yuling would help her find a way to repair her Dantian.

Yunxi was secretly taken to the sect’s Honeycomb intelligence center, where Yugeng explained that the investigation into the compromised network was still underway.

• Haohui ordered Yuling to send the unconscious Yunxi to the back mountain and go into seclusion while Yugeng took charge of the remaining work.
• Yugeng issued a sect-wide announcement about Liu Qichong’s attack, and Wei Yunting, Wei Zonghan, and Wei Zong Jin visited Yuling to ask about Yunxi.

• Wei Yunting urged Wei Zong Jin to warn the family head, and the three relatives left for the Wei Family together.
• Yunxi followed Yugeng into the Honeycomb, where he explained how Hao Yi had investigated the compromised intelligence network and suspected the Bee King had hidden important information.

Yunxi learned that Old Ancestor Hao Yi wanted her to review five hundred years of discarded Honeycomb messages while staying hidden and recovering. She entered Honeycomb disguised as Venerable Yuling, with the sect spreading a cover story about his injuries and fallen cultivation.

• Yugeng told Yunxi that Honeycomb would review messages previously filtered out, and that Hao Yi had assigned her to help search them for overlooked information.
• Yugeng explained that Yunxi and Yuling would be sent separately to the Back Mountain for safety, with Yuling stabilizing his cultivation and Yunxi secretly working in Honeycomb.
• Yunxi agreed to disguise herself as Yuling after Yugeng explained that Yuling had approved the plan and her Spirit Transformation-level divine sense would help conceal the disguise.

• Yunxi received authority to review sect intelligence in Honeycomb, where cultivators were told that Yuling had been severely injured and had secretly come there while recovering.

While recovering in the Haoran Sect, Yunxi spent five years studying old records and uncovered clues about Old Ancestor Hao Yi's extraordinary longevity and cultivation technique. Wei Yunqing entered a Secret Realm and found a newly formed Exotic Flame, while Sheng Yuhong worried about Yunxi; the chapter ended with Hao Yi asking Yunxi whether she was curious about his technique.

• Yunxi studied sealed information while recovering, cultivated carefully, and left Dian Dian to care for Rosy Cloud and the Witch Tribe descendants in her space.
• Wei Yunqing completed her Sect Mission, entered a fixed Secret Realm with several Rogue Cultivators, and lost her pursuer after random teleportation scattered them.

• Sheng Yuhong worried about Yunxi's injuries but could not bring himself to ask Yugeng to let him visit her.
• After five years of reviewing records, Yunxi found that Hao Yi had appeared during major Haoran Sect upheavals and that his longevity was linked to his cultivation technique.
• Yunxi visited Hao Yi in the Back Mountain, and he asked whether she was curious about the technique he practiced.

Yunxi reported to Old Ancestor Hao Yi that demonic cultivators appeared to be weakening the Weiyu Realm by eliminating talented disciples and manipulating their successors. After he promised to seek evidence, Hao Yi invited Yunxi to join Dark Night Profound Rain, Haoran Sect’s secret defense group.

• Yunxi learned that Haoyi’s cultivation technique required him to disperse his cultivation and start over nine times, with the timing and duration under his control.
• Yunxi gave Haoyi her findings and explained that demonic cultivators seemed to provoke chaos by targeting talented disciples while avoiding direct blame for their deaths.
