Yunxi entered a hidden chamber, received a cultivation art and Storage Ring from a dying cultivator’s soul, and escaped through a Teleportation Formation. She emerged in midair and landed in a giant nest beside a young red-beaked bird.

• The Three-Headed Snake chased the cultivators out of the cavern, where Sheng Yuhong led the Haoran Sect disciples in a Sword Formation against it.
• Yunxi entered a stone chamber and cautiously approached a white-haired man whose divine-soul phantom appeared when her divine sense touched him.
• The phantom gave Yunxi the Peerless Sword Lightning Art and a Storage Ring after she swore to find a disciple with a Lightning Spiritual Root to inherit the art.
• Yunxi collected the man’s corpse and meditation cushion, activated the Teleportation Formation beneath it, and left as the chamber collapsed.
• Yunxi reappeared in midair, fell into an enormous nest, and discovered a young red-beaked bird pecking at her.

Wei Yunxi escaped a Red-beaked Falcon nest and avoided its parents, then hurried through Baohua Mountain Range to find her fellow disciples. Two Qi Refining Rogue Cultivators pursued her, and she stopped to confront them with a Third Order formation disk.

• Wei Yunxi fed the Red-beaked Falcon hatchling Bigu pills, then used a Spirit Sword to fly away from its nest before its parents returned.
• The Red-beaked Falcon Couple found their chick safe, while Wei Yunxi hid from one of them with a Breath Concealment Talisman and waited before leaving.
• Sheng Yuhong and his group killed the Three-Headed Snake and went to search its lair, unaware that Long Daoyu had already taken its treasures and reunited with Zhen Tongshuang and Zhang Yan.
• Long Daoyu joined Zhen Tongshuang and Zhang Yan to search for Wei Yunxi, who had been separated from them underground.
• Two Qi Refining Rogue Cultivators pursued Wei Yunxi through the forest, so she stopped and deployed a Third Order formation disk; one rogue cultivator taunted her for stopping.

Yunxi used a formation to trap two rogue cultivators who tried to rob her, killing both and taking their belongings and the Tracking Rat. Afterward, she revealed her Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation and set out to enter the Inner Sect.

• Yunxi lured the two rogue cultivators into her formation and separated them, then killed the first pursuer after realizing her weaknesses in combat against human cultivators.
• Yunxi defeated Xia Yang, forced him to dissolve his contract with the Tracking Rat, and let him leave before closing the formation and killing him.

• Yunxi decided to use the opportunity to enter the Inner Sect and departed, while a cultivator hiding behind a tree watched her go.

Wei Yunxi joined Sheng Yuhong’s group during a battle with hostile Foundation Establishment cultivators, helping them defeat the ambushers. After learning that Zhen Tongshuang had reunited with Long Daoyu, the group saw a pillar of light rise from the depths of the Baohua Mountain Range.

• Wei Yunxi watched Sheng Yuhong’s group resist an ambush, then intervened to stop Feixu from disrupting their Sword Formation.
• Sheng Yuhong’s group killed the six cultivators trapped in the Sword Formation, and Sheng Yuhong beheaded Feixu as he tried to escape.
• Wei Yunxi told Sheng Yuhong and Mu Ningzhu how she had reached Foundation Establishment after finding a Foundation Establishment Pill in a Red-beaked Falcon’s nest.
• Sheng Yuhong’s group divided the spoils, rested inside an Isolation Formation, and sent Message Talismans to check on Zhen Tongshuang.
• Wei Yunxi learned that Zhen Tongshuang had reunited with Long Daoyu and was heading for the exit; then a pillar of light rose from deep within the Baohua Mountain Range.

After a heavenly phenomenon appeared in the Baohua Mountain Range, Sheng Yuhong led the Haoran Sect disciples out and gathered them at the entrance before returning to Baohua City. Yunxi reunited with her fellow disciples, recounted her escape, and later counted and sorted the spoils she had collected.

• Sheng Yuhong decided his group should report the phenomenon to the sect and leave the Baohua Mountain Range, then led them out as cultivators streamed toward the mountains.
• Sheng Yuhong and his group joined the Haoran Sect disciples at the entrance, where he ordered the lower-ranked disciples not to enter the mountains and to return to Baohua City.
• Long Daoyu and Zhen Tongshuang asked Yunxi how she had advanced to Foundation Establishment, and Yunxi told them about escaping from a Red-beaked Falcon's nest and meeting Sheng Yuhong.
• The Haoran Sect disciples returned to their outpost in Baohua City as high-level cultivators continued flying toward the phenomenon.
• Yunxi activated her defensive formations, counted the spirit stones and other items from three Storage pouches and a Storage Ring, and decided to sell the items she did not want to keep.

Yunxi examined the senior’s belongings and claimed the Peerless Sword Lightning Art, which imprinted itself in her sea of consciousness. A remnant soul then emerged from her meditation cushion and tried to possess her, but a sudden white light froze it as Yunxi attacked.

• Yunxi sorted the senior’s belongings, kept the meditation cushion, and found no spirit stones or elixirs in the Storage Ring.
• Yunxi cautiously read the Peerless Sword Lightning Art jade slip and used her Thunder Spiritual Power and blood essence to imprint it in her sea of consciousness.
• A ball of light shot from the meditation cushion and revealed that it planned to possess Yunxi, whose Wind-Thunder-Ice Triple Extreme Spiritual Root made her an ideal body.
• Yunxi fought the remnant soul by biting its divine soul, but it overpowered her and began shrinking her own soul.
• A gentle white light flowed into Yunxi’s divine soul, illuminated her sea of consciousness, and froze the remnant soul before Yunxi bit it again.

Yunxi devoured the senior cultivator’s soul and uncovered his plan to possess her, along with clues about the Baohua Mountain Range’s emerging Secret Realm. She awoke to find her body collapsing under the strain of her strengthened divine soul, and the Tracking Rat’s Blood Contract let it help her survive for now.

• Yunxi swallowed the possessing soul, then learned from its memories that the senior cultivator had come from the Spirit Realm and planned to possess a suitable cultivator.
• Yunxi suspected the senior would have possessed Sheng Yuhong and connected his interest in Wei Yunqing to her status as the Daughter of Destiny.
• Yunxi guessed that the Immortal Spirit Grass had absorbed the Spiritual Vein sealing the Secret Realm, allowing the Secret Realm to emerge.
• The Tracking Rat formed a Blood Contract with Yunxi to wake her, and she discovered that her body was collapsing because it could not withstand her powerful divine soul.
• Yunxi had the Tracking Rat feed her ten Milk Fruits, easing her pain but not resolving the cause of her physical collapse.

Yunxi sought help in the Chat Group after her body began collapsing from the powerful divine soul she had devoured. Star Trek supplied medicine that stabilized her mental power and repaired her body, and the Spiritual Qi began entering her as she recovered.

• Yunxi told the Chat Group that she had devoured the divine soul of a Body Integration Cultivator and that her body was failing under its power.
• Star Trek sent Yunxi a Detection Pod, which measured her mental power as S-class and her physical strength as B-grade.
• After seeing the test results, Star Trek sent Yunxi Mental Suppressant and Body Repair Fluid to save her life.
• Yunxi drank the Mental Suppressant, then used the Body Repair Fluid in a bath and drank the remainder.
• After an hour, Yunxi climbed out of the tub, relieved that she had survived, as Spiritual Qi began entering her body.

Yunxi stabilized her cultivation after surviving a possession attempt, concealed her strength, and named the Tracking Rat Dian Dian. While she updated the Space Chat Group, Wei Yunqing and Sheng Yuhong experienced strange reactions linked to Yunxi’s survival.

• Yunxi used the Immortal Spirit Grass to advance to peak mid-stage foundation establishment, then concealed her cultivation at early stage.
• Yunxi questioned the Tracking Rat, learned of its Treasure-Seeking Rat bloodline, and named it Wei Dian Dian.
• Yunxi entered the Space Chat Group with her divine sense and told its members that her crisis had passed.
• Wei Yunqing felt a suffocating sensation she associated with Yunxi, then told Ye Shaotian that the Foundation Establishment Grass had recovered.
• Sheng Yuhong felt a sudden brush with death at the moment Yunxi devoured the possessing divine soul.

After exchanging resources with Star Trek, Yunxi prepared to cultivate an interstellar body-forging technique and joined Sheng Yuhong’s party heading out to gather information in Baohua City. She planned to sell some of her unused goods at Lin Tai Pavilion alongside Mu Ningzhu, who was selling the Three-Headed Snake.

• Sheng Yuhong sorted through his gains while Yunxi completed a resource exchange with Star Trek, receiving a beginner-level body-forging technique and emergency supplies in return for spirit stones and pills.
• Yunxi accepted Star Trek’s warning not to cultivate advanced body-forging techniques while she was young, then prepared to begin the beginner-level practice.
• At dawn, Zhen Tongshuang and Long Daoyu told Yunxi they had not cultivated because they were unsettled by the previous day’s events.
• Sheng Yuhong warned the disciples to stay at the stronghold unless they had urgent business, then selected Yunxi, Du Yuling, and others to accompany him while he gathered information.
• Yunxi asked Mu Ningzhu where she could sell pills and talismans, and Mu Ningzhu suggested Lin Tai Pavilion and invited her to go along while selling the Three-Headed Snake.

Yunxi and her fellow disciples visited Lin Tai Pavilion to sell their gains and shop for treasures. Yunxi bought a Pill Refining Furnace and agreed to gamble on the flawed Seven-Star Deadly Staff, then asked about the price of the finest furnace.

• Sheng Yuhong led the group to Lin Tai Pavilion, where the five disciples split up to have their items appraised separately.

• Yunxi agreed to buy the Seven-Star Deadly Staff for one thousand mid-grade spirit stones and asked about the best Pill Refining Furnace.
• The clerk priced the Primordial Golden Melting Cauldron at three thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and Yunxi reacted with dismay at the cost.

As the group discussed their plans, cultivators from Hundred Flowers Tower arrived and one invited Yunxi to join them.

• Yunxi negotiated with the attendant and bought the Purple Jade Coiled Dragon Cauldron and Seven-Star Deadly Staff for two thousand eight hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

• Wei Yunxi politely refused Yu Qingcheng’s invitation to join Hundred Flowers Tower, and the two exchanged Message Talismans.
• Sheng Yuhong learned that Hundred Flowers Tower had also discovered the new Secret Realm near Baohua Mountain, then returned with his group to the Sect Outpost.

• Wei Yunxi struck the ground with the staff, cracking it and feeling vibrations that made her fear she had caused an earthquake.

• Wei Yunxi began refining her newly purchased defensive artifact.

Yunxi and the Haoran Sect disciples joined Baohua City’s defense against a Beast Tide, with Yunxi watching the Qi Refining disciples fight while preparing for her own battle. The fighting intensified when second-tier Demon Beasts appeared.

• Yunxi refined the White Jade Orchid Hairpin, stored the Yunxia Flying Boat, and gathered with the Haoran Sect disciples after True Person Feng summoned them.

• A voice announced that Second-tier Demon Beasts had appeared.

Wei Yunxi fought the demon-beast assault with Mu Ningzhu and used her Seven-Star Deadly Staff against Rhinoceros Beasts, Crocodiles, and snakes. After a Five-Colored Boa sent her into a snake swarm, Yunxi survived its attack and continued fighting it despite Sheng Yuhong ordering her to retreat.

• Yunxi joined the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the battlefield and helped Mu Ningzhu rescue Zhen Tongshuang, Long Daoyu, and Zhang Yan.
• Yunxi struck down a Unicorn Rhinoceros Beast and helped Mu Ningzhu kill another before the two rescued Zhang Yan.
• As snakes entered the battlefield, Yunxi used a Freeze Spell and thunder spiritual power to fight them alongside the other demon beasts.
• A Five-Colored Boa knocked Yunxi into the snake swarm, but her Ruby Earring blocked its fatal strike and she froze nearby snakes.
• Yunxi attacked the Five-Colored Boa with her staff, ignoring Sheng Yuhong's order to return as the enraged boa roared across the battlefield.

Yunxi fought through the Demon Beast assault, killed a Five-Colored Boa, and returned to the formation with Sheng Yuhong. After the beasts retreated, she rested, then practiced the Interstellar Body Refinement Technique and discovered Starlight Force entering her bones.

• Yunxi killed the Five-Colored Boa with a divine sense attack, then fought off an Emerald Snake and scattered attack talismans against the surrounding snakes.
• Sheng Yuhong rushed to rescue Yunxi, but she deliberately struck him before pretending she had mistaken him for a flying Demon Beast; he carried her back to the formation.

• Sheng Yuhong confirmed that all Haoran Sect disciples had returned and told them to rest while negotiations continued.
• Yunxi slept for two hours, then practiced the Basic Body Art and felt Starlight Force melt into her bones.

After recovering from the battle, Yunxi discovered her Body Forging Art had forced residual snake venom from her wound and learned more about Dian Dian’s past. She reviewed her weapons and spoils, then joined Mu Ningzhu and Zhen Tongshuang, who expected the Beast Tide to end soon.

• The four disciples entered Wanruo Forest on foot, camped for the night, and were awakened by sounds of fighting.

Yunxi and her companions encountered four evil cultivators attacking Yu Qingcheng and Liu Haotian, but Mu Ningzhu feared they were too weak to intervene. Yunxi disguised herself as a powerful cultivator’s disciple and stepped out to bluff the attackers, leaving the confrontation unresolved.
