• Baili Yanque told Yue Kou that Qian Ji was stable for now and asked her to help remove the Evil Insect.
• Yunxi explained that Ziyan would burn the Evil Insect while the two Ghost Kings severed its connection to Qian Ji, despite the risk to Qian Ji's cultivation and soul.

Qian Ji accepted the dangerous treatment, which began as the insects renewed their attack; Yunxi then sent Ziyan into her body to burn away their remnants.

• Yunxi explained that she had prepared one poison to target Qian Ji's soul and an improved Lingering Affection to eradicate the Evil Insects and prevent them from hatching their eggs.

• Qian Ji endured Ziyan's flames while the poison spread through her body and weakened the Black Beetle.
• Baili Yanque and Yue Kou supplied Qian Ji with Soul Power as Yunxi directed Ziyan to burn away the insect and its eggs.

• Yue Kou questioned Yunxi's use of poison without an antidote, and Yunxi explained that the plan was meant to make the Black Beetle flee Qian Ji's body so Ziyan could destroy it.

• Yunxi told Yue Kou and Baili Yanque that Immortal Practitioners whose souls had not fully fused with the Black Armored Larvae might be rescued, while those fully controlled and attacking them had been slain.
• Di Fei visited the Ghost Kings, and Yunxi went to join the Ice Baihu couple and Qian Xun.

• Yunxi released the Soul-Collecting Mirror, and the gathered Immortal Practitioners began helping her remove Black Beetles from their companions' souls while Ziyan assisted.

Yunxi warned Ghost King Yue Kou about the danger of altering Shui Qiancheng’s formations, then used her exchange with Yue Kou as bait to alert Baili Yanque to a possible traitor.

• Yunxi told Yue Kou that the reinforced formation must not be altered and urged her to watch for Immortal Practitioners approaching the grand array.

• Yunxi received a self-destroying jade slip from Little Book, viewed its contents, and promised to sever ties with him afterward.
• Di Fei proposed that Yuwen He help each sister obtain a high-grade Defensive Soul Artifact in exchange for the divine-artifact clues, but Yuwen He questioned why they needed him now that their cultivation matched his.

Yunxi and Di Fei secured Yuwen He’s agreement to work with them in the Langhuan Secret Realm, but he overheard their plan to use a Defensive Soul Artifact to seize others’ cultivation. At the Inquiry Pavilion, Yunxi confirmed the divine artifact clue with Little Book, who then asked her for something in return.

• Yunxi and Di Fei persuaded Yuwen He to trade for their clue and swore a Heavenly Dao oath to keep it secret.
• Yuwen He rejected the sisters’ offer of lodging and dual cultivation, then overheard them discussing their plan to seize his cultivation after finding a Defensive Soul Artifact.
• Yunxi and Di Fei went to the Inquiry Pavilion, where Chanjia welcomed them and gave Di Fei a Little Cicada for exchanging information.
• Yunxi questioned Little Book about the divine artifact, and he insisted his information was true before asking her to show appreciation for his help.

Yunxi and Di Fei speculated that the Langhuan Secret Realm’s divine artifact might be the Evil God’s Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade, and learned the danger of letting it escape. As the Secret Realm opened, they prepared to enter and respond according to what they found.

• Yunxi sent Little Book and Chanjia through a Moon Gate to Shui Qiancheng, then settled with Di Fei in the Inquiry Pavilion shop.
• Yunxi explained that the Evil God targeted Ghost Domain cultivators to repair his damaged divine soul, and she and Di Fei considered whether the Secret Realm’s divine artifact might be the Evil God’s weapon.
• Yunxi asked Ox-Head and Horse-Face about the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade and was warned to seal it or trap it in the Secret Realm if they found it.
• Other powerful figures discussed the artifact and decided not to interfere, while Baili Yanque told Di Fei to work with Ranxi and promised support in Luming City.
• Yunxi and Di Fei agreed to act according to circumstances, then left the Inquiry Pavilion when the Langhuan Secret Realm entrance opened.

Yunxi and Di Fei entered the Langhuan Secret Realm with Yuwen He, but the three were separated. Yunxi reunited with Di Fei on a lake island and met five other entrants, where Dugu Ye discovered that he could not leave.

• Yunxi, Di Fei, and Yuwen He entered the Langhuan Secret Realm after its entrance opened above Luming City, while low-level Immortal Practitioners who tried to follow were burned by its glow.
• The entrance closed after all eligible entrants went inside, and Yunxi, Di Fei, and Yuwen He were teleported to separate locations.
• Yunxi landed on a lake island with five others, then used the Soul-Binding Thread to bring Di Fei to her after Di Fei escaped a place that drained her Soul Power.
• Di Fei began recovering in a protective formation while Yunxi introduced herself as Qian Jiao and named Di Fei as Bai Mei to the five strangers.
• Wushen suggested that the group form a team, but Yunxi declined because she had already promised to team up with someone else.
• Dugu Ye tried to leave the island twice, but each time he reappeared in his original spot.

Yunxi and Di Fei discovered that Lake Heart Island trapped everyone and heard a warning that only one person could leave, prompting Dugu Ye to attack Cui Ying. As Yunxi and Di Fei mocked him, Dugu Ye struck at them and his scythe hit the island, which shook as a piercing scream rang out.

• Dugu Ye, Buddha Wushen, and Yuxing Chi each tried and failed to leave Lake Heart Island, so the group split up to investigate.
• Yunxi and Di Fei heard a voice claim that only the last surviving person could leave, but Yunxi chose to wait for the others to return.
• The five investigators returned wary, and Dugu Ye attacked Cui Ying, saying they had to test the warning.
• Yunxi and Di Fei openly mocked Dugu Ye for choosing Cui Ying as his target and explaining why he avoided the others.
• Enraged, Dugu Ye swung his Resentful Bone Scythe toward Yunxi and Di Fei, but the strike smashed into the island and triggered a tremor and a piercing scream.

Yunxi and Di Fei confronted a corrupted Black Tortoise while the others waited to claim its opportunity. As Yunxi worked to force the corruption out, Dugu Ye tried to leave but Cui Ying stopped him and he warned her about Di Fei’s Soul Artifact.

• The Black Tortoise attacked Dugu Ye, and Yunxi froze it before it could reach shore.
• Yunxi sent Ziyan into the green snake coiled around the tortoise, revealing that the beast was corrupted, while Di Fei warned the onlookers to stay back.
• Di Fei took out the Ghost Artisan Sphere, prompting Dugu Ye and the others to retreat, as Yunxi repeatedly froze the tortoise while the snake broke the ice.
• Dugu Ye tried to leave, but Cui Ying blocked him and attacked over his earlier assault on her.
• Dugu Ye warned Cui Ying that Di Fei’s Ghost Artisan Sphere had once belonged to the Ghost Emperor Mei Huan.

Yunxi removed the Evil Artifact Fragment from Lu Fu and accepted the Black Tortoise’s inner core in exchange for saving them both. After sealing the fragment and giving Ziyan the core to refine, she left the lake with Di Fei, while Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Yuxing Chi, and Wushen watched them with questions left unspoken.

• Dugu Ye recognized Di Fei’s Ghost Artisan Sphere as Ghost Emperor Mei Huan’s Soul Artifact and left, deterring Cui Ying and the others from pressing her.
• Yunxi used Ziyan and the Profound Thunder Purple Flame to burn away the Soul Power shielding the Evil Artifact Fragment inside Lu Fu.
• The Black Tortoise offered its inner core in exchange for Yunxi removing the fragment and saving Lu Fu, and Yunxi accepted the deal.
• Yunxi extracted and sealed the Evil Artifact Fragment, then used the Seven-Star Deadly Staff’s Wood Spirit Pearls to revive Lu Fu and the Black Tortoise.
• Lu Fu and the Black Tortoise shrank to juvenile forms and crawled into the forest, while Yunxi gave the tainted inner core to Ziyan to refine.
• Yunxi promised Di Fei the refined water-element inner core, and the two women left as Cui Ying, Hua Wu, Yuxing Chi, and Wushen watched them.

Yunxi and Di Fei formed a team with Hua Wu, Wushen, Cui Ying, and Yuxing Chi, then set out to find Yuwen He and investigate the Evil Artifact Fragment. After reconsidering the danger, Yunxi led the group to the Heavenly Jade Waterfall to seek a protective Soul Artifact, where twelve people were already waiting.

• Yunxi and Di Fei accepted Hua Wu, Wushen, Cui Ying, and Yuxing Chi as teammates after the four agreed to their terms.
• Yunxi used Little Book’s map and clues about the divine artifact to choose a route toward Yuwen He.
• Yuwen He followed a voice in his mind through a dense forest, lured by the promise of a treasure and power.
• Yunxi and Di Fei reasoned that the five teammates might have been brought together to help contain the Evil Artifact Fragment and that the fragment could lead them to the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade.
• Di Fei urged Yunxi to find a protective Soul Artifact before pursuing the divine artifact, so Yunxi changed their destination to the Heavenly Jade Waterfall.
• After five days of travel, Yunxi’s group reached the Heavenly Jade Waterfall and found twelve people already waiting for it to flow backward.

Yunxi explained how the Cloud Dragon Koi bubbles at Heavenly Jade Waterfall could become defensive Soul Artifacts, and the six agreed to compete for them as the waterfall began reversing. They spotted a koi and prepared to seize its bubble.

• Yunxi’s group assessed the other cultivators, then entered a Defensive Formation Disk to discuss the Soul Artifact contest.
• Yunxi explained that Cloud Dragon Koi bubbles could be refined into Defensive Soul Artifacts and said pure Immortal Yuan Force could attract them.
• Di Fei objected when Hua Wu asked Yunxi for her method, but Yunxi shared it after Yuxing Chi offered compensation.
• Cui Ying asked the others to help if her demon power attracted a Soul Artifact, promising not to contest the next one, and they agreed.
• At midnight, the waterfall began flowing backward, and Yunxi’s group spotted a Cloud Dragon Koi and prepared to seize its bubble.
