Fu Yunshan healed Xu Chunniang's sword wounds and, encouraged by her words, regained confidence in her path as a Medicine Cultivator. Unable to sleep afterward, Xu Chunniang sent her companions copies of the Blood Escape Technique, and Zhuge Yun recognized its value.

• Fu Yunshan treated Xu Chunniang's wounds for two hours, removing the Sword Qi and telling her to rest for two days.
• Fu Yunshan described how her inability to fight made her feel like a burden, and Xu Chunniang urged her to find ways to preserve her life rather than measure herself by combat.

• After Fu Yunshan left, Xu Chunniang inscribed three copies of the Blood Escape Technique on Jade Slips and sent them to her companions.

Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan entered Cracked Wind Valley to practice against fierce beasts, where they discovered the black fog could be collected and used to attack divine sense. After gathering bottles of fog and fighting together on the valley’s outer edge, they left without venturing deeper.

• Xu Chunniang decided to stop challenging cultivators in the War Hall and invited Fu Yunshan to accompany her to Fierce Wind Valley for combat practice.
• Xu Chunniang tested the black fog and confirmed it devoured divine sense, while leaving those who avoided using divine sense alone.
• Fu Yunshan collected some black fog in a bottle, and Xu Chunniang realized it could be released to attack an opponent’s divine sense.
• Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan filled most of their bottles with black fog before heading into the valley.
• Xu Chunniang fought a Foundation Establishment Late Stage fierce beast while Fu Yunshan hid, and the two cooperated to handle other beasts on the outer edge before leaving the valley.

Fu Yunshan showed Zhuge Yun and Kong Huan the divine-sense-devouring mist she found in Cracked Wind Valley, and the group discussed how it might have entered the pseudo-world. They watched Zhuge Yun challenge Bing Three, whose restored Nascent Soul cultivation left him promising to await Zhuge Yun’s return.

• Fu Yunshan showed Zhuge Yun and Kong Huan the black mist from Cracked Wind Valley, and Zhuge Yun suspected it was Soul Devouring Mist from the Outer Heavens.
• Fu Yunshan, Zhuge Yun, Kong Huan, and Xu Chunniang discussed the possibility of a spatial rift in Cracked Wind Valley and agreed to return there after Zhuge Yun’s challenge.
• Zhuge Yun asked Bing Three to raise his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment fourth layer, then fought him in a prolonged sword duel.
• Bing Three exhausted himself without defeating Zhuge Yun, restored his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, and watched Zhuge Yun teleport out after requesting a truce.
• Zhuge Yun told Fu Yunshan he did not plan to return to the War Hall and decided to enter seclusion after the duel loosened his cultivation.

Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan explored Cracked Wind Valley while Kong Huan trained in its outer region and Zhuge Yun advanced in seclusion. After Zhuge Yun received a message from the black-robed old man, the group reunited and prepared to leave the valley’s dangerous depths.

• Kong Huan gave Zhuge Yun recordings of his battle, then collected the black mist at Cracked Wind Valley’s entrance while Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan explored its outer region.
• Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan finished exploring the outer region and entered deeper into the valley, while Kong Huan stayed behind to hone his swordsmanship.
• After two months in seclusion, Zhuge Yun emerged at the Foundation Establishment ninth layer and found Kong Huan fighting two demonic beasts.
• Zhuge Yun helped Kong Huan defeat the beasts, received a transmission from the black-robed old man, and set out with him to meet Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan.
• After escaping a Golden Core stage demonic beast, Xu Chunniang and Fu Yunshan received Zhuge Yun’s message and decided to leave the valley’s depths, wary of spatial rifts.

After reuniting, Xu Chunniang and the others followed the black-robed old man's instructions to a stronghold where Golden Core cultivators gathered Foundation Establishment cultivators for a dangerous mission. As the group set out, the old man's forces silenced protesting captives with lethal attacks, openly violating the Evil Eye Beast's rules.

• Xu Chunniang reunited with Zhuge Yun, Fu Yunshan, and the others after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment fifth layer.
• The four followed the black-robed old man's voice transmissions north and eventually reached his temporary stronghold.
• They found dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators and several Golden Core cultivators gathered there, including people who had been abducted and restrained.
• The black-robed old man said the four were different from the unwilling captives and ordered everyone to prepare to set out.
• Several captives protested being forced to leave the false realm, where they had lived safely under the Evil Eye Beast's protection.
• A leading Golden Core cultivator sent golden light into the loudest protesters' brows, causing them to collapse, and the other cultivators realized the Golden Core group had violated the realm's rules.

Xu Chunniang and the other abducted cultivators were taken underground to a hidden palace, where black-robed cultivators planned to use sacrifices to approach the Evil Eye Beast. The group entered a chamber filled with Soul Devouring Mist and faced demonic beasts, leaving two cultivators dead and unusable as sacrifices.

• A Golden Core cultivator killed several abducted cultivators who protested, then collected their bodies as sacrifices.
• Xu Chunniang and the others were divided into groups and led through the underground palace toward the Evil Eye Beast.
• A black-robed elder used a sacrifice to open a stone door, then collected the Soul Devouring Mist beyond it.
• The black-robed elder warned that the group would have to fight the demonic beasts themselves, and the cultivators killed the first attackers.
• A Foundation Establishment Late Stage demonic beast killed two cultivators before Kong Huan beheaded it, and the elder burned their mangled corpses because they could not serve as sacrifices.

Xu Chunniang and the other survivors reached a massive formation, where they learned the Golden Core cultivators had deceived them and intended to use them to open a spatial passage back to the Qianluo Realm. The Foundation Establishment cultivators faced a choice between risking the spatial rifts and obeying their captors, and the chapter ended with the Golden Core leader threatening those who refused.

• Xu Chunniang's group reached the formation after demonic beasts killed most of their companions, and she could not identify the intricate formation.
• All nine teams gathered, leaving fewer than forty Foundation Establishment cultivators alive from the more than one hundred who had set out.
• The Golden Core cultivators led the survivors into a path filled with increasingly dangerous spatial rifts.
• When the Foundation Establishment cultivators protested that they would die if they went farther, the Golden Core leader told them they had to pay a price to return to the Qianluo Realm.
• The survivors realized the Golden Core cultivators had placed restrictions on them and planned to use their lives to open the spatial passage.
• Several Foundation Establishment cultivators accused the Golden Core cultivators of deception, and their leader threatened to kill them for refusing to cooperate.

Xu Chunniang and the other cultivators struggled through a realm of spatial rifts, opening a passage while their protective barrier failed. Xu Chunniang and Kong Huan escaped with the Blood Escape Technique, while Zhuge Yun and Fu Yunshan emerged protected by golden light.

• The Golden Core cultivators swore Dao Heart oaths to protect the Foundation Establishment cultivators when convenient, then shielded them as they opened a spatial passage.
• As the barrier deteriorated, Xu Chunniang and the other cultivators detonated spiritual artifacts to open the passage faster.
• When the barrier shattered, Xu Chunniang used the Blood Escape Technique to survive the spatial rifts, and the Golden Core cultivators noticed her escape.
• Kong Huan also escaped using the Blood Escape Technique, then worried about Zhuge Yun and Fu Yunshan.
• Zhuge Yun and Fu Yunshan emerged from the Soul Devouring Mist surrounded by golden light, which the Golden Core cultivators suspected came from a protective technique or Talisman Treasure.

The cultivators activated a reversal formation in the Evil Eye Beast’s natal eye to escape the pseudo-realm, awakening the beast and forcing an early teleportation. Xu Chunniang was separated from her companions as the damaged passage sent the survivors toward unknown fates.

• Fourteen cultivators survived the spatial force, and the young cultivator demanded that the leading Golden Core cultivator honor his promise.
• The four Nascent Soul Cultivators activated the reversal formation built over the Evil Eye Beast’s natal eye.
• The Evil Eye Beast awoke, disrupted the formation, and destroyed the tampered sacrifices before its natal eye unleashed red light that killed nearby cultivators.
• The Nascent Soul Cultivators triggered teleportation before the formation was ready, and the Evil Eye Beast tried to destroy the spatial passage.
• The damaged teleportation scattered the cultivators: some died in the Outer Heavens or during the journey, while Xu Chunniang lost contact with the other three.

After escaping into a crushing deep-sea region, Xu Chunniang healed her injuries in her small world and discovered that the environment had further refined the Primordial Heavy Water in her bloodline, greatly strengthening her body. She returned to the sea with Little Orange and Little White, intending to cultivate there rather than leave at once.

• Xu Chunniang awoke beneath the sea, gravely injured by the transmission and crushing water pressure, and fled into her small world before the blood scent could attract demonic beasts.
• Xu Chunniang used Fu Yunshan's spiritual liquid and medicinal pills to stabilize her injuries, while Little Orange and Little White insisted on accompanying her outside once she recovered.
• Xu Chunniang spent a month healing her Primordial Spirit and hidden bodily injuries, and found that restoring her depleted Essence Blood remained difficult.
• Xu Chunniang realized that repairing her body had refined the Primordial Heavy Water sealed in her bloodline, greatly strengthening her physical form in the deep sea's Five Elements environment.
• Xu Chunniang agreed to take Little Orange and Little White with her, then used the Water Repelling Spell to leave the small world and enter the sea again.

Xu Chunniang and her spiritual beasts endured the deep sea’s crushing pressure, fought off a Golden Core stage water snake, and recovered in her small world. She returned with Little Orange and Little White to a safer depth, where Little White broke through to Foundation Establishment third layer and Xu Chunniang found conditions suited to practicing the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique.

• Xu Chunniang rescued Little White from the crushing deep-sea pressure and carried Little Orange upward to a more manageable depth.
• A Golden Core stage water snake caught up with Xu Chunniang and Little Orange, but withdrew after they resisted its attacks with their strongest techniques.
• Xu Chunniang and Little Orange returned to the small world to recover, and Little White healed from its injuries as well.
• Xu Chunniang brought Little Orange and Little White back into the sea, where Little White broke through to Foundation Establishment third layer under the pressure.
• Xu Chunniang sensed that the reduced pressure was suitable for cultivating the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique.

Xu Chunniang and her two companions spent years cultivating in the deep sea, adapting to crushing water pressure and refining Primordial Heavy Water. After refining the remaining portion, Xu Chunniang broke through to the Foundation Establishment ninth layer and further strengthened her Water Gravity.

• Xu Chunniang, Little Orange, and Little White adapted to deep-sea pressure for half a year, fighting demonic beasts and diving farther as their bodies grew tougher.
• Little White reached the Foundation Establishment third layer, Little Orange advanced to the seventh layer, and Xu Chunniang broke through to the sixth layer as they continued cultivating.
• Over five years, Xu Chunniang refined all the Primordial Heavy Water in her body and neared the Foundation Establishment eighth layer, while Little Orange reached the ninth layer and Little White reached the fifth.
• Xu Chunniang tested her strengthened Water Gravity with a small pulse, then began refining the remaining Primordial Heavy Water she had kept sealed.
• After three more years of refining the remaining Primordial Heavy Water, Xu Chunniang broke through to the Foundation Establishment ninth layer, and the gravity in her blood further strengthened her body.

After completing the beginner stage of the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique, Xu Chunniang led Little Orange and Little White deeper into the sea, where Little White discovered an immense spirit stone vein. Xu Chunniang gave Little Walnut permission to absorb it, and it detached from her Primordial Spirit and flew toward the vein.

• Xu Chunniang completed the beginner stage of the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique after refining the Primordial Heavy Water, strengthening her body and Water Gravity.
• Xu Chunniang used Primordial Heavy Water to protect Little White and Little Orange as she led them deeper into the sea.
• Little White sensed powerful spiritual energy and guided Xu Chunniang and Little Orange toward its source.
• Xu Chunniang discovered an enormous spirit stone vein, and Little Orange and Little White excitedly played atop it.
• Xu Chunniang allowed Little Walnut to absorb the vein, and Little Walnut detached from her Primordial Spirit and flew toward it.

Xu Chunniang and her companions were swallowed by a powerful fish-shaped demon beast after Little Walnut disturbed its Spiritual Vein. With the beast’s corrosive stomach acid threatening them, Little Walnut rescued them by transporting them into its inner world, which was undergoing tremendous changes.

• Little Walnut began absorbing the deep-sea Spiritual Vein, awakening a powerful fish-shaped demon beast that swallowed Xu Chunniang, Little Orange, Little White, and Little Walnut.
• The beast pursued and gathered the broken pieces of its Spiritual Vein while Xu Chunniang, Little Orange, and Little White fell into its stomach.
• Xu Chunniang’s Fire-Wielding Spear was ruined by the stomach acid, and the acid began filling the space as the beast tossed them around.
• Xu Chunniang used the Mountain and River Diagram to shield them from falling acid and prepared a Teleportation Talisman as their cover began to fail.
• Little Walnut appeared unharmed in the acid, and Xu Chunniang ran to it with Little Orange and Little White.
• Little Walnut released a bright light and transported them into its inner world, where Xu Chunniang awoke amid tremendous changes.
