Ch. 426Scruffy Old Man

After Yunxi’s duel, Hao Yan and Xiang Sizi dismissed Huabai and returned to drinking, while Yunxi went shopping and encountered Feng Fen, a successor of the Tianyun Sect. Feng Fen revealed that he had long awaited her because his Old Ancestor’s divination had foretold her arrival.

Ch. 427Reasonable Speculation

Yunxi explained to Feng Fen that Tianyun Sect had been deliberately targeted by evil cultivators, who sought to destroy the Su family and turn Su Qingzhuo against the righteous path. She revealed that she had already helped Su Qingzhuo and arranged for him to investigate a mole in the Su family, leaving the family’s safety dependent on what he uncovered.

Ch. 428Chosen Daughter

Yunxi learned that Tianyun Sect believed she was the Chosen Daughter destined to help determine the Weiyu Realm’s fate, and Feng Fen warned her that someone would soon target her.

  • Yunxi went to meet Buddha Son Yunchen, Han Lian, and Xun Kun, and Xun Kun arrived with a female cultivator from his sect behind him.

Ch. 429Closing In Step by Step

Yunxi reunited with Xun Kun and helped him reject Jin Can before discussing Evil Cultivator activity with Buddha Son Yunchen and Han Lian. Their findings suggested Evil Cultivators were using Secret Realms to target righteous cultivators, and Han Lian proposed investigating the Misty Snow Region after the Grand Competition of the Five Regions.

  • Yunxi advised Jin Can that she could not become both Xun Kun's disciple and Dao Companion, and Jin Can left after seeing Xun Kun's displeasure.
  • Xun Kun thanked Yunxi for intervening, and they went to meet Buddha Son Yunchen and Han Lian at a teahouse.

  • Yunxi tasted Xun Kun’s spirit wine and explained that it would become a potent aphrodisiac when mixed with Jin Can’s Datura fragrance.

Ch. 431Seeds of Trouble

Yunxi confronted Xun Kun about Kunmo Sect disciples targeting Haoran Sect, and learned Venerable Wutong had ordered the provocations after Jin Can’s scheme failed. Two days later, the Five Regions Grand Competition began, and Yunxi stared at the rules displayed on a golden scroll.

  • Yunxi reported the repeated injuries of Haoran Sect disciples to Venerable Haoyan and went to Huaxian Sect’s arena, where Kunmo Sect disciples were surrounding Zhen Tongshuang and Long Daoyu.
  • Yunxi summoned Xun Kun, who used a voice transmission to make the Kunmo Sect disciples leave the arena.
  • Yunxi asked Xun Kun whether the attacks were retaliation for her exposing Jin Can’s attempt to drug him, and Xun Kun admitted Venerable Wutong was responsible.

  • Two days later, Huaxian Sect opened the Grand Competition and displayed its rules and rewards on a golden scroll, while Yunxi stared at it blankly.

Ch. 432Overestimating One's Own Strength 1

  • Yunxi and Zhang Lingrui watched the Foundation Establishment matches and recalled their own Grand Competition, while Yunxi judged the young disciples competent but inexperienced.
  • Zhen Tongshuang and Long Daoyu led Haoran Sect’s disciples in targeting Kunmo Sect’s contestants, who retaliated too late to prevent most of their own elimination.

  • The first day ended without serious casualties, and the names of the melee victors appeared on a golden scroll.
  • Xun Kun went to Venerable Wutong’s Immortal Cave after receiving a summons and found Jin Can there with reddened eyes.

Ch. 433Overestimating One's Abilities 2

Xun Kun learned that only Kunmo Sect disciples eliminated in the melee battles had been poisoned, while Yunxi suspected she was being framed to provoke conflict between the sects and regions. After the two Western Region Venerables advised her to wait and see, a Medicine King Valley elder arrived to invite her to the valley.

  • Xun Kun defended his decision not to intervene when Jin Can was knocked off the arena, and Jin Can left Venerable Wutong's Immortal Cave in tears.

  • Yunxi asked Cong Shan about the Shadow Gray Python, who said it remained asleep, and Dian Dian warned that the poisoning aimed to provoke conflict.
  • Ye Chengbil of Medicine King Valley visited Yunxi and invited her to the valley, explaining that Ye Yirui was staying with Ye Yuchen, whose physical body had deteriorated severely.

Ch. 434Framing and False Accusation

Yunxi avoided being drawn into the Kunmo Sect poisoning case, directing Xun Kun to seek help from Ye Chengbil and Venerable Xiang Sizi instead. Ye Chengbil identified the poison afflicting the disciples as Clifffall, a drug that rapidly drains life when its use is stopped.

  • Yunxi told Ye Chengbil that repairing Ye Yuchen’s Dantian required the supposedly nonexistent Creation Green Lotus, leaving him with no solution to report to Ye Yirui.
  • Xun Kun asked Yunxi to examine poisoned Kunmo Sect disciples, but she sent him to Ye Chengbil and said she would invite Venerable Xiang Sizi to help with the poison.
  • Yunxi contacted Hao Yan, who told Xiang Sizi that the Kunmo Sect had sought Yunxi’s help; Xiang Sizi chose to wait and see what Medicine King Valley discovered.
  • At the Kunmo Sect encampment, Ye Chengbil examined the disciples and identified their poison as Clifffall, which quickly shortens a victim’s life after they stop taking it.

Ch. 435Explain It Face-to-Face

Ye Chengbil identified the poison afflicting the Kunmo Sect disciples, and Xiang Sizi confirmed she could cure them. Xun Kun confronted Jin Can over her role in creating the sect conflict, while Ye Chengbil’s secret actions remained unnoticed.

  • Ye Chengbil told Xun Kun that the poison came from the Medicine Immortal Sect and suggested Ranxi might recognize it, while discreetly releasing nearly transparent smoke inside the formation.
  • Venerable Wutong left to seek help, and Xun Kun harshly rebuked Jin Can for provoking Haoran Sect and contributing to the conflict that the poisoner exploited.
  • Xunyan stopped other Kunmo Sect cultivators from intervening, saying Jin Can needed to hear Xun Kun’s criticism.
  • Venerable Wutong returned with Xiang Sizi, who examined the poisoned disciples with her divine sense and confirmed their poison could be cured.
  • Xiang Sizi gave jade slips listing the required spirit plants to Xun Kun and the Huaxian Sect medical cultivators, who set out to gather them.

Ch. 436Drug Trial Failure

Xiang Sizi refined an antidote for the poisoned Kunmo Sect disciples, but a test revealed that they carried two poisons and the treatment killed the disciple. Yunxi arrived and proposed using a neutralizing agent to combine the antidotes, leaving the other disciples’ fate unresolved.

  • Xiang Sizi discovered that the Kunmo Sect disciples carried a second poison and adjusted an antidote formula while Xun Kun and others gathered spirit plants.
  • Xiang Sizi refined the antidote, and Xun Kun gave it to Yan Tan, whose vitality recovered briefly before he died.
  • Xiang Sizi explained that the two poisons required separate treatments, and Xian Xu suggested someone had poisoned the disciples a second time after they returned to camp.
  • Xiang Sizi sent a Message Talisman and summoned Yunxi to examine the antidote formula.
  • Yunxi recognized that the formula treated two poisons and proposed a neutralizing agent that might let both antidotes work at once.

Ch. 437A Convenient Move

Yunxi went to the Kunmo Sect encampment to help Xiang Sizi treat cultivators who had been poisoned a second time, using powder from her mutated Rosy Cloud Butterfly to make a neutralizing potion. As Yunxi began refining it, Ye Chengbil’s thoughts revealed that he had arranged the second poisoning and had previously conspired against Ye Yuchen to seize his Innate Dao Body.

  • Haoyan summoned Yunxi to the Kunmo Sect encampment, and Haoqing accompanied them to prevent anyone from framing her.
  • Xiang Sizi told Yunxi that the Kunmo Sect cultivators had been poisoned again and asked about her proposed neutralizing agent.
  • Yunxi introduced her contracted Spirit Pet, Rosy Cloud, whose mutated wings produced potent neutralizing powder, then began refining a potion.
  • While those outside waited, Ye Chengbil recalled how jealousy had led him to conspire against Ye Yuchen, damage his divine soul and Dantian, and fail to take his Innate Dao Body.
  • Ye Chengbil had come to test whether Yunxi could help Ye Yuchen and had arranged the second poisoning as a convenient way to test her abilities.

Ch. 438Unforeseen Calamity

Yunxi and Xiang Sizi tested a new Detox Pill that restored the poisoned Kunmo Sect disciples, while Yunxi suspected Ye Chengbil of working with evil cultivators and targeting her. Xun Kun confirmed Ye Chengbil had poisoned the disciples again, and the chapter ended with black Demonic Qi shrouding the Kunmo Sect residence overnight.

  • Yunxi and Xiang Sizi tested the new Detox Pill, and it restored Xiao Xun'er’s vitality and triggered her breakthrough.

  • Yunxi warned Xun Kun that Ye Chengbil was targeting her and that evil cultivators might kill the poisoned disciples to frame her.
  • Black Demonic Qi shrouded the Kunmo Sect residence overnight as Yunxi watched from the air with Cong Shan.

Ch. 439Holding Back a Big Move

An evil cultivator’s attempt to kill poisoned Kunmo Sect disciples was foiled, but the poison found on him suggested someone was framing Yunxi. As the Grand Competition advanced to the Nascent Soul matches, the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers turned blood-red and pulled the participating True Lords inside.

  • Xun Kun and Xunyan stopped a disguised evil cultivator from attacking the poisoned Kunmo Sect disciples, and Xun Kun defeated him before Xian Xu took him away.
  • Xun Kun told Yunxi that the captured cultivator carried a much stronger batch of the same poison, leading Yunxi to suspect Ye Chengbil was trying to frame her.
  • Zhen Tongshuang and Long Daoyu made the Foundation Establishment top hundred, while the Golden Core matches proceeded cautiously amid fears of an evil cultivator attack.
  • Yunxi learned that the Huaxian Sect had increased security and that the Kunmo Sect planned to confront Medicine King Valley after the competition.

Ch. 440New and Old Grudges

Wei Yunxi was swept into the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers with Wei Yunqing, while Spirit Transformation cultivators outside tried to purify the scroll’s Evil Qi and rescue those trapped within. Inside, Yunxi repeatedly beat Wei Yunqing until the Shadow Gray Python attacked her.

  • Wei Yunxi hurled Wei Yunqing into the vortex with her Red Rope, then followed the suction force into the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers.
  • The Spirit Transformation cultivators learned that they could not control or destroy the scroll without killing the Nascent Soul Cultivators inside, so Master Yunyi began purifying its Evil Qi with their help.

  • Cong Shan battered the Shadow Gray Python while Yunxi’s Flower Ornament Immortal Artifact crushed the Evil Soul’s attack, revealing that a male cultivator on Wuyou Mountain had controlled it.

Yunxi and Wei Yunqing were trapped in a sealed hall inside the Scroll of Mountains and Rivers, where Evil Souls poured from silver pillars. They fought them off and discovered that escaping required breaking the seals without releasing the Evil Souls into the Weiyu Realm.

  • Dian Dian woke and identified the hall as an evil cultivator's lair filled with dense Evil Qi.
  • Yunxi used the Profound Thunder Purple Flame to repel the Evil Souls, while Wei Yunqing raised a Flame Vine barrier and reinforced it with the Nine Luminaries Star Wood Fire.
  • Yunxi struck the ground with the Seven-Star Deadly Staff, spreading violet lightning that cleared part of the hall and revealed nine silver pillars carved with hideous faces.
  • Yunxi inspected the hall and found sealing runes covering the ceiling, floor, and walls.
