• Lu Changsheng found a Wind Traveling Pill and uncovered a hidden compartment containing an Enlightenment Pill.

• Tu Jiao explained that the white fox was a Pill Beast that could endure indefinitely, evolve, and provide valuable benefits, stirring greed among the martial artists.

• Lu Changsheng, Tu Jiao, and Rui'er escaped through the gates just before the Pill Palace Ruins collapsed completely.

After escaping the Pill Palace’s destruction, Lu Changsheng’s group recovered and set out to find the Domain Seal, but days of searching yielded no clues. They learned that the Bodhi Ancient Tree might soon emerge in the Ancient Burial Wasteland and joined Pei Hu’s Grand Xuan Sect party to pursue the opportunity.

• After roughly half a day of travel, Lu Changsheng’s group and Pei Hu’s team saw a vast, strange plain ahead.

Lu Changsheng and his allies faced down Ye Guying and the Taishang Sword Sect after they accused Lu of killing Leng Yunfeng, while Lingxiao Sect and Grand Xuan Sect refused to hand him over.

• After three days, the energy gales weakened, and Lu Changsheng’s group entered the Ancient Burial Wasteland alongside the gathered factions.

Lu Changsheng and the allied sects crossed the wasteland’s deadly astral winds and reached an ancient altar, where Lu warned that its jade seal anchored a powerful seal. Ye Guying ignored him and removed the seal, rupturing the altar and releasing torrents of demonic qi as something terrifying stirred beneath the earth.

• Lu Changsheng rescued Rui'er from the astral winds, and Tu Jiao used the Wind Controlling Pearl to shield their group and nearby Grand Xuan Sect disciples from a deadly tornado.
• After the group crossed the astral wind zone, Lu Changsheng sensed a dangerous presence underground while other cultivators fought over treasures scattered across a bone-covered plain.
• Lu Changsheng warned everyone that the jade seal atop an ancient altar was the core of a sealing array, but Ye Guying accused him of trying to keep the treasure for himself.
• Ye Guying seized the jade seal, causing the altar’s runes to go dark and the structure to crack apart.
• The earth split open around the altar as thick black demonic qi erupted, and Lu Changsheng realized a terrifying being was about to emerge.

• The shattered altar released Demonic Qi and countless Ghost-Faced Demon Spiders, and an elder identified them as the Ancient Demon Clan’s killing machines.
• Shi Jingtian blamed Ye Guying for ignoring Lu Changsheng’s warning, but Tu Jiao stopped their argument and rallied the factions to fight.
• The factions battled the swarm as Tu Jiao, Shi Jingtian, Qing He, Rui’er, and Lu Changsheng fought spiders while several groups suffered casualties.
• The swarm scattered the fighters, leaving Lu Changsheng surrounded by seven or eight spiders after a powerful blow knocked him away from the main group.

• Lu Changsheng resolved to break out, but more Ghost-Faced Demon Spiders closed in from every direction.

Lu Changsheng activated the Heaven Burning Ancient Array with Ye Guying’s jade seal, incinerating the Ghost-Faced Demon Spider horde and saving the surviving cultivators. After the battered factions resumed their journey, they reached a basin where the Bodhi Ancient Tree stood.

• Tu Jiao protected herself, Shi Jingtian, Rui'er, and Qing He with the Turtle Spirit Bowl as Lu Changsheng fought his way to them.
• Rui'er sensed an ancient formation beneath the altar Ruins, and Lu Changsheng realized Ye Guying’s jade seal could activate it.

• After resting, Lu Changsheng and the surviving factions continued through the wilderness and found the Bodhi Ancient Tree in a vast basin.

• The factions entered the basin, found a sea of bones, and realized that more than a hundred survivors were competing for five Bodhi Dao Fruits.
• Mu Yunzi proposed discussing how to divide the fruits, but Yan Lie and Zhu Ronghai insisted everyone should rely on their own abilities, and Ye Guying charged toward the tree.

• Ye Guying, Mu Yunzi, Kuang Zhan, and other leaders demanded that Lingxiao Sect surrender some of its three fruits, while Tu Jiao, Shi Jingtian, and Lu Changsheng refused and challenged them to take the fruits by force.

After Tu Jiao and Shi Jingtian took three Bodhi Dao Fruits, the Heavenly Array Sect trapped them in a killing formation while Ye Guying and Kuang Zhan confronted Lu Changsheng over his fruit. Lu Changsheng summoned his Thunder Tribulation Armor and charged into battle against both opponents, leaving the three forces colliding beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

• Mu Yunzi led the Heavenly Array Sect disciples in activating the Myriad Swords Punishing Immortal Array around Tu Jiao and Shi Jingtian, then launched a rain of swords at them.

Lu Changsheng fought Ye Guying and Elder Kuang Zhan at once and defeated them with his Thunder Emperor Sword and Dragon Elephant Golden Body. The basin fell silent as the battered Sword Son and elder lay defeated, and Lu Changsheng’s battle record stunned the gathered martial artists.

• Ye Guying and Kuang Zhan attacked Lu Changsheng together, but he evaded their sword and countered their strikes while holding his own against both.
