Chapter Summaries

True Venerable Haoran’s past revealed how he survived the Lei Family’s attempt to eliminate him and was persuaded to join the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, while secretly extracting further compensation from the family. The account ended by linking Lei Hongxuan’s later death in the Weiyu Realm to those earlier events.

• After ascending, True Venerable Haoran traveled the Spirit Domain as a Rogue Cultivator, avoiding sects and families that tried to recruit him.
• When the Lei Family forced Haoran into the Death Desert, he defeated the Spirit Devouring Vine, broke through to the Body Integration Realm, and returned to demand justice.

• Yunxi visited Li Ze with Zhang Lingrui and Zhou Lingchuan, and Li Ze sensed her exceptional cultivation and an aura he disliked.

Yunxi visited City Lord Li Ze to discuss the Wei Family’s relocation and ask about escaped Underworld spirits, then used her Soul-Collecting Mirror to find one hidden in his mansion. The mirror dragged the captured ghost cultivator to her, and Yunxi recognized him as an “old friend.”

• Yunxi told Li Ze that the Wei Family would relocate and lease its clan grounds to the Spring Wind Sect until the Cloud Sea trouble ended.
• Yunxi explained her Underworld task and showed Li Ze that the Soul-Collecting Mirror was reacting inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

Yunxi learned that the Evil God's heart was sealed in the Cloud Sea and discussed the likelihood of a future war between good and evil. She helped True Venerable Haoran begin treatment for severe injuries, but after ten years of recuperation and study, she received an urgent message that something had gone wrong during his healing.

• True Venerable Haoran revealed that the Evil God's heart was sealed in the Sealed Land of the Cloud Sea and said at least half of the Evil God's body had been unsealed.
• Yunxi warned that evil cultivators' numbers and tempting techniques made a full-scale war likely, and True Venerable Haoran agreed that conflict might be unavoidable.

• Yunxi received Haoyi's urgent message that something had gone wrong while True Venerable Haoran was healing, and she rushed to his cave dwelling.

Yunxi helped True Venerable Haoran remove a strand of Evil Qi with Ziyan, then was forced into a breakthrough to the Body Integration Realm. She began her Integration stage lightning tribulation at Tribulation Peak.

• Yunxi sent Ziyan into True Venerable Haoran and guided the Profound Thunder Purple Flame as it attacked the Evil Qi.
• True Venerable Haoran sealed his Dantian and endured as Ziyan fought and eventually refined the Evil Qi over eighty-one days.

• Yunxi went to True Venerable Haoran's Immortal Cave and learned that the Exotic Flame had expelled the Evil Qi from his body, but Haoran wanted Ziyan to inspect his Dantian after he unsealed it.

• Yunxi sent Ziyan into Haoran's Dantian, where it forced out and refined a hidden thread of Evil Qi.
• Haoran drank Yunxi's Life Tracing and recovered, while Yunxi returned to her Immortal Cave to consolidate her cultivation.

After fifty years of secluded cultivation, Yunxi set out to travel the Spirit Domain and investigate why the Rogue Cultivator Alliance had summoned True Venerable Haoran. She reached Chong'an City after a year of travel and recognized an acquaintance amid a quarrel between two cultivators.

Yunxi killed Mu Zijun after discovering his Luck-Seizing Body had regained its power, then went to Chong'an City's City Guard Station to claim his corpse and investigate the death herself. She cleared the innocent cultivator who had argued with Mu Zijun and prepared to examine the body for clues.

• Yunxi discovered that Mu Zijun had reached Nascent Soul and that the sealing runes on his Luck-Seizing Body had loosened, so she secretly attacked his sea of consciousness and Dantian.

Yunxi had Mu Zijun killed and reclaimed his corpse, but it was stolen from the City Guard Station, leading Cen Sen to suspect evil cultivators. Yunxi revealed that she was Ranxi of the Haoran Sect and the cultivator rumored to have inherited the Medicine Immortal Sect’s legacy, then began drawing a sealing inscription as she realized the theft was aimed at her.

• Yunxi explained why she had killed Mu Zijun and reclaimed his corpse so she could destroy it safely.

• Yunxi connected the Breath-Concealing Potion to the Medicine Immortal Sect’s legacy and revealed that she was Ranxi of the Haoran Sect.
• Yunxi realized the stolen corpse was likely part of a scheme targeting her and drew a sealing inscription in midair.

• Yunxi pierced Mu Zijun’s mouth with a Wind Blade and burned him with Ziyan before extracting the middle-aged cultivator’s divine soul into the Soul-Collecting Mirror.

Yunxi failed to learn the evil cultivators’ plans after their captive self-detonated, then traveled into Chong'an Mountain to train. In the mountain’s central region, Living Rocks led her into Yan Shi Village, where Xiao Meng brought her to meet the Old Ancestor amid the villagers’ hostility.

• Yunxi gave Cen Sen the recovered corpse investigation and left Chong'an City while Cen Sen ordered the City Guard Station to search for the evil cultivators’ accomplices.
• On a black mountain in Chong'an Mountain, Yunxi tried to search the captured evil cultivator’s soul, but it self-detonated and destroyed the Isolation Formation.

• Living Rocks guided Yunxi through a barrier into another space, where Xiao Meng welcomed her to Yan Shi Village.
• Xiao Meng led Yunxi through the wary village to meet the Old Ancestor, while Uncle Yan Wu warned Xiao Meng not to be deceived.

• Yan Shi introduced himself as the village chief and asked Ranxi to make a deal after she saw through the villagers’ deception.
• Xiao Meng explained that a human cultivator had deceived her eldest sister, stolen her heart, and sold it as the Luck-Turning Bead.
• Ranxi agreed to help if the reward was suitable, and Yan Shi paid her a deposit of spirit stones, rare ores, and Rock Beasts.
• Xiao Meng identified the Luck-Turning Bead as an auction item in Chong’an City, and Ranxi recalled hearing about it from Cen Sen.

• Yunxi settled into her Capsule Dharma House and sent the Rosy Cloud Butterflies to explore Yan Shi Village.

The Medicine Immortal Sect returned to await Ranxi, still debating whether she had inherited the Breath-Concealing Potion formula.

Yunxi returned to Chong'an City and arranged to auction a Gene Enhancement Potion to attract attention, while she and Yan Meng waited for a chance to find the Luck-Turning Bead. The chapter ended when an Evil Cultivator fled into Yunxi’s path during a City Guard Station hunt.

• Ming Zong argued that Ranxi was unlikely to have joined forces with an Evil Cultivator, and Ming Yu suspected someone was framing her to provoke conflict between the Medicine Immortal Sect and the Haoran Sect.
• Huo Chongshan decided the three would return to the sect and wait for Ranxi to come forward, and they left the Chuyue Mountain Range.
• Yunxi entered Chong'an Auction House in disguise and offered a vial of Gene Enhancement Potion for auction, presenting her Medicine Immortal Sect token as proof of her credentials.
• Yunxi persuaded the auction house to require the potion’s buyer to consume it publicly, and she received an auction entry token after agreeing to let the house keep the first vial’s proceeds.
• Yunxi asked Xiao Meng about the Luck-Turning Bead, but Xiao Meng could not sense it because it was likely sealed away.
• Cen Sen announced that the City Guard Station was apprehending an Evil Cultivator, and gray smoke lunged toward Yunxi.

Yunxi captured an evil cultivator and learned that his group sought the Luck-Turning Bead and had informants in Chong'an City. After discovering that Mo Jiu and Mo Liang were plotting to seize her fortune with Xiao Meng’s sister’s Rock Heart, she prepared to confront them.

• Yunxi helped Cen Sen capture an evil cultivator, then secretly had Xiao Meng pull him into the Dream Realm before the City Guard Station could question him.
