Chapter Summaries

A month later, she emerged from seclusion as the battle in the Ancient Battlefield continued to intensify, while Cang Feng had yet to recover from his cultivation loss.

• Yunxi woke fully healed, advanced to the Integrated Body Late Stage, and told Lili, Dian Dian, Cong Shan, and Immortal Spirit Grass about her dream and the battle that had given her insight.

After the battle, she warned Cang Lou that a conscious strand of Evil Qi could control Spirit Realm cultivators and revealed that Nichang had been controlled.

• Yunxi showed Cang Lou a conscious strand of Evil Qi that could enter cultivators and control them like Nichang.
• Yunxi told Cang Lou that Nichang had gone mad two days earlier, tried to destroy her soul body, and attacked Cang Feng.

Yunxi and Cang Lou discovered that the Evil Qi controlling cultivators came from disguised insects, and Master Ruohuai warned that evil cultivators planned to use them to turn Spirit Realm cultivators against one another. While Yunxi began helping inspect the temporary city, the Evil Venerable prepared to begin the next stage of the plan the following day.

• Yunxi told Cang Lou that Nichang and Demon Realm cultivators had been controlled by Evil Qi, and Cang Lou examined the sealed substance.

Master Ruohuai uncovered and dealt with infected cultivators in the Temporary City as Xiong Wei and Yunxi returned to the front line.

• Cang Lou told Cang Feng that Nichang could not be saved, and Cang Feng imprisoned the ghost cultivators who had retreated with her.
• Hua Yi, Dai Tong, and Xiong Wei agreed to inspect the encampments and bring Master Ruohuai back to use his Buddhist power against the Evil Insects.

Yunxi used Lili and Dian Dian to search the garrison for Evil Insects and uncovered a cultivator trying to infect four others. After Xiong Wei dealt with the culprit, Yunxi removed the Evil Qi and continued the inspection.

• Xiong Wei asked Yunxi whether her companions could identify infected cultivators, and she brought Lili and Dian Dian out to help screen the garrison.
• Yunxi sent Lili and Dian Dian through the Spirit Domain cultivators’ camp while Xiong Wei blocked three cultivators’ divine senses to keep the inspection quiet.
• Dian Dian detected Evil Qi in a tent, and Lili spotted an infected blue-robed cultivator attempting to plant Evil Insect eggs in four others.
• Yunxi used Profound Thunder Purple Flame to sever the attacker’s control and purge the Evil Qi from the four cultivators while Xiong Wei seized the culprit.
• Yunxi gave the four cultivators restorative potions and urged them to stay alert, then left to continue the search; one cultivator later found that her hidden Meridian injuries had also healed.

Yunxi investigated the Pill Pavilion and discovered traces of Evil Qi, while Ye Yirui revealed that evil cultivators controlled some of its alchemists and had corrupted their pills. The chapter ended with Feng Yan demanding to know why Ye Yirui had not reported the danger sooner.

• Ye Yirui told Yunxi that evil cultivators controlled alchemists in the Pill Pavilion and that something was wrong with their pills; Feng Yan asked why she had not reported it immediately.

Ye Yirui reported that her brother Ye Yuchen had uncovered suspicious pills tied to Feng Xichao, an alchemist in Feng Yan’s Pill Pavilion. After hearing her evidence, Yunxi and Feng Yan examined one of the pills, and Yunxi began testing it with violet flame.

• Feng Yan questioned Ye Yirui, but Yunxi defended her caution and promised to help refine the Breakthrough Potion if Feng Yan gathered the required spirit plants.
• Ye Yirui explained that Ye Yuchen’s teammates had tried to control him, then repeatedly lent pills from Feng Xichao to battlefield companions while three suspicious cultivators remained together.
• Ye Yirui said she had observed Feng Xichao giving those three different pill bottles and quantities from the pills he exchanged with other cultivators.
• Feng Yan and Yunxi examined a seventh-rank Yangyuan Pill that Ye Yirui had brought, but Feng Yan’s inspection revealed no obvious problem.
• Yunxi began scorching the Yangyuan Pill with violet flame to investigate its suspected abnormality.

Yunxi and Feng Yan discovered foreign black specks hidden in Yangyuan Pills, prompting Yunxi to halt the Pill Pavilion’s operations and summon the people involved. Feng Xichao was exposed when Feng Yan found matching pill bottles in his Storage Ring, and Cang Lou arrived to hear Yunxi’s report.

• Dian Dian and Lili failed to detect anything unusual until Yunxi burned a Yangyuan Pill with Exotic Flame and found a black speck inside.
• Yunxi extracted matching specks from two more pills, barred relevant people from returning to the battlefield, and ordered Ye Yirui to summon Ye Yuchen.
• Cang Lou and Xiong Wei received Yunxi’s message and immediately went to the Pill Pavilion.

• Yunxi urged Cang Lou to detain cultivators who had received pills from Feng Xichao, while Cang Lou began searching Feng Xichao’s soul.
• Yunxi asked Ethereal Immortal to identify the black specks and learned they were threadworm eggs that could drain hosts and reproduce rapidly.

• Yunxi told Cang Lou the eggs could turn battlefield cultivators against their comrades and warned they might have reached the Spirit Realm.
• Cang Lou crushed Feng Xichao with his pressure, ordered the suspects arrested, and arranged for Hua Yi and the others to send new cultivators to the front line.

• Yunxi ordered the Ye siblings to watch Feng Xichao and record the changes caused by the tampered pills while they remained with Cang Lou.

• Yunxi reported that the suspected cultivators and those who had exchanged pills with Feng Xichao had been detained; Cang Lou said the eggs came from evil cultivators on the battlefield, and Yunxi asked whether it had happened recently.

Yunxi investigated Feng Xichao and Uncle Chestnut to determine how the Evil Insects were spreading and how to identify those infected. Lili revealed that Uncle Chestnut controlled the Gu insect in his heart while Evil Insect eggs had hatched inside Feng Xichao, and Yunxi provoked Feng Xichao to hasten the insect’s growth.

• Cang Lou said the tampered pills had not reached the rear garrison and began screening the cultivators who had taken them.
• Feng Yan burned the pills in the Elixir Hall, found more black grains among those Feng Xichao had handled, and gave them to Cang Lou.
• Yunxi examined the records of Feng Xichao’s confinement, then had Ye Yuchen bring the unconscious Uncle Chestnut into the cage beside him.
• Uncle Chestnut claimed he had given Feng Xichao pills to suppress a Gu insect in his heart, while Lili detected that the Gu was under Uncle Chestnut’s control and that Evil Insect eggs had hatched inside Feng Xichao.
• Yunxi exposed Uncle Chestnut’s deception and sent Thunder Spiritual Power into Feng Xichao to provoke the Evil Insect.

Yunxi used Feng Xichao to draw out an Evil Insect and watched it take over Uncle Chestnut, then tested ways to weaken it. After the insect escaped and tried to enter Yunxi, she destroyed it with Purple Flame and headed with the Ye Family siblings to see True Venerable Canglou.

• Yunxi drew Feng Xichao’s spiritual power into an empty spirit stone, provoking the Evil Insect to drain him faster.
• Feng Xichao died, and the Evil Insect left his heart and fought Uncle Chestnut’s gu for control of his body.
• The Evil Insect defeated the gu and took over Uncle Chestnut, so Yunxi attacked it with Thunder Spiritual Power and Buddhist power while Ye Yirui recorded the tests.
• Yunxi struck the insect with a Divine Soul Stab, and Uncle Chestnut died as his cultivation rapidly collapsed.
• The weakened Evil Insect escaped toward Yunxi, but she seized and burned it with Purple Flame before setting fire to both corpses and leading the Ye Family siblings to True Venerable Canglou.
