• Moon Night knocked Leng Xiao unconscious, then admitted that the Moon Demon God was her biological father and showed Ye Tian her red blood.

Ye Tian spared Ye Yue after she offered to serve as an intelligence source for his group, but Cai'er placed a lethal restriction inside her. Ye Yue agreed to their terms, and Ye Tian acquired disguises that would let the group pass as members of the Moon Demon Tribe.

• Ye Yue explained that her mixed human and demon heritage barred her from inheriting the Demon God Pillar, and offered her help in exchange for her life.

• Ye Tian asked Ye Yue for disguises that could conceal the group as Moon Demon Tribe members, and she provided several items with the tribe's bloodline aura.

After leaving Moon Night behind, Ye Tian and General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 headed back toward Southeast Fortress, unaware that Moon Night planned to erase the survivors’ memories and eliminate witnesses.

• Meina, Li Xin, and the other girls praised Ye Tian’s leadership and celebrated their successful Slaughter Mission and the merit they had earned.
• Bai Xiaomo asked how many merit points the squad would receive, and Ye Tian estimated at least one hundred thousand because the exploration mission had been far more difficult than its intelligence description suggested.

After returning to Holy City, Ye Tian and General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 challenged the Mission Tower over its dangerously inaccurate Cave of Fearful Screams mission and inadequate compensation. Ye Tian led the team to the Holy Temple Alliance Government Office to seek an audience with its leaders.

• Ye Tian and his companions returned to Holy City after resting in Star Seeking City and divided more than forty thousand Merit Points among the team.

• Ye Tian told the team they would take their complaint to the Alliance, and the girls chose to go with him.

Ye Tian and General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 reported that the Mission Tower had wrongly listed a King-level mission among General-level assignments, putting them and other squads in danger. Han Qian and the five other Vice Hall Masters promised an investigation and punishment, then bowed to the squad as they prepared to offer an explanation.

• The six Vice Hall Masters went to the Mission Tower, while Ye Tian and Squad No. 21 waited in the small meeting room.
• After half a day, Han Qian and the other five Vice Hall Masters arrived and bowed to Ye Tian and his companions.

After the Alliance apologized and punished those responsible for the Mission Tower’s failure, Ye Tian and his companions returned safely to the Holy City and visited his mother. The next morning, Han Qian summoned Ye Tian to discuss the major discovery in the Cave of Fearful Screams and ask about the tower shown in the footage.

• Han Qian and five other Vice Hall Masters apologized to Ye Tian, explained the Mission Tower staff’s punishments, and promised the Alliance would prevent a repeat.
• Ye Tian gave Han Qian an image crystal containing footage of the Cave of Fearful Screams as proof of the mission’s completion, then agreed to keep the incident confidential.
• Ye Tian and his companions returned to their villa, then visited Liu Mei, who was relieved to see them safe.
• The next morning, Han Qian summoned Ye Tian alone and asked him to explain the tower seen in the Cave of Fearful Screams footage.

Ye Tian concealed the Tower of Eternity’s true nature while reporting the mission to Han Qian, who concluded that the vanished tower might be a relic of an ancient necromancer. After learning Ye Tian’s Innate Internal Spiritual Energy exceeded one hundred, Han Qian urged him to focus on cultivation, but Ye Tian chose to remain with his Demon Hunter Squad.

• Ye Tian told Han Qian that his squad had found a tower and Vengeful Spirits in the Cave of Fearful Screams, and that the tower vanished during their encounter.

• Han Qian asked whether Ye Tian’s Innate Internal Spiritual Energy exceeded one hundred, and Ye Tian confirmed it.
• Han Qian asked Ye Tian to remain in Holy City or cultivate at the Knight Holy Temple headquarters, but Ye Tian chose to stay with his squad, which planned to rest and train in Holy City.

After completing the Cave of Fearful Screams mission, Ye Tian and his squad received two hundred thousand Merit Points and eight Saint Spirit Pills as compensation. The squad prepared to train in the Tower of Eternity, while Ye Tian and Cai'er consumed their pills, bringing Ye Tian closer to Eighth Order.

• The Mission Tower awarded General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 two hundred thousand Merit Points and eight Saint Spirit Pills.

• Ye Tian told the squad to prepare for Tower of Eternity trials the following day.
• Ye Tian and Cai'er took Saint Spirit Pills, and Ye Tian gained exactly one thousand points of Internal Spiritual Energy.

Ye Tian received spiritual-energy feedback from Sheng Cai'er and Lin Jialu, then broke through to Eighth Order by opening his fourth Spiritual Aperture. He examined his new Spirit Aura and status panel, now confident he could protect himself and his companions.

• Sheng Cai'er and Lin Jialu each gained one thousand Internal Spiritual Energy, giving Ye Tian two thousand points of feedback from each.
• Ye Tian’s Internal Spiritual Energy surpassed thirty thousand, and he directed it toward his shoulders to establish his fourth Spiritual Aperture.
• Cai'er activated the formation to support Ye Tian as Yating helped him open Spiritual Apertures in both shoulders and palms.
• Ye Tian broke through to Eighth Order, solidified his Internal Spiritual Energy, and tested the powerful but costly Spirit Aura.
• Ye Tian checked his status panel and saw that he had reached Eighth Order with 32,447 Internal Spiritual Energy and four Spiritual Apertures.

After improving his cultivation, Ye Tian agreed to help Cai'er inherit the Tower of Eternity so she could grow stronger. A Pokémon Egg hatched into a Charcadet, and Ye Tian and Cai'er wondered what to feed it.

• Ye Tian meditated with seven Spiritual Apertures open and learned how the three core apertures supported the others.
• Cai'er told Ye Tian she wanted to accept the Tower of Eternity's inheritance, and he agreed to train there with her.
• The Pokémon Egg began glowing and shaking while Cai'er waited for it to hatch.
• A Charcadet emerged from the egg, greeted Cai'er affectionately, and ate the eggshell.
• Cai'er asked what Charcadet ate, and Ye Tian wondered whether milk from magical beasts would work.

After the Pokémon hatched, Ye Tian explained how to care for them and postponed the squad’s Tower of Eternity training. Unable to find magical beast milk around Holy City, the group went to the Holy City Grand Auction House to look for it.

• Ye Tian told Cai'er to feed Charcadet nutritious milk while it was young and to wait until it left infancy before letting it cultivate.
• Happiny, Charcadet, Feebas, Alolan Vulpix, Shroomish, and Torchic hatched, and Ye Tian explained their care to the squad.
• Ye Tian promised Bai Xiaomo he would ask Xiao Rou for a Grass attribute Pokémon and delayed the squad’s Tower of Eternity training for a few days.
• Ye Tian and the women searched Holy City for magical beast milk but found no shops selling it.
• Lin Jialu suggested trying the Holy City Grand Auction House, and the group bought eight tickets and received an auction catalog.

• Ye Tian and the others entered the auction hall, where chief auctioneer Ye Weiyang introduced herself and began the bidding.
• Ye Tian and the others bought two medicinal herbs and milk from a level-six magical beast, but the Goddess of Light's Aria never appeared.

After learning that Long Haochen had wagered his new squad’s merit against General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 8, Ye Tian’s group headed to watch and found Lin Xin struggling to attract bettors. Ye Tian stepped in to vouch for Lin Xin’s ability to pay, leaving the betting crowd’s reaction unresolved.

• Li Xin told Ye Tian that Long Haochen’s General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 22 had accepted a merit wager against General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 8.
• Ye Tian said Long Haochen was confident enough to win and decided to go watch the fight, while his companions agreed to cheer him on.

• Lin Xin offered thirty-to-one odds on Long Haochen but struggled to persuade people, who doubted he could cover the payout.
• Ye Tian called out that he could prove Lin Xin could afford to pay.

Ye Tian partnered with Lin Xin to fund a betting pool on Long Haochen’s challenge match, and Demon Hunters rushed to wager on the heavily favored Old Fifth. Ye Tian and his companions reached the Knight Trial Ground, where Long Haochen learned about the bets and resolved to win.

• Ye Tian agreed to provide Lin Xin with Merit Points in exchange for forty percent of the betting pool’s profits.
• Ye Tian transferred over seventy thousand Merit Points to Lin Xin, who opened betting on Long Haochen’s match against Old Fifth.

• Ye Tian and his companions went to the Knight Trial Ground and found Long Haochen waiting for the match.
• Ye Tian told Long Haochen about the betting pool and their profit-sharing deal, prompting Long Haochen to resolve that he could not afford to lose.

Long Haochen met Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi at the Knight Trial Ground as Demon Hunters gathered to watch his wagered battle. Lin Xin revealed that the two had bet far more on Long Haochen’s opponents than on him, while the rival squad arrived for the match.

• Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi told Long Haochen they supported him, and Yang said they had each bet a hundred merit points on his victory.
• Chen Ying'er criticized their small bets, while Ye Tian said he had loaned Lin Xin capital for forty percent of the profits and trusted Long Haochen to win.
• Duan Yi and Yang Wenzhao left to increase their bets after hearing Ye Tian’s confidence in Long Haochen.
• Lin Xin told Long Haochen that the betting pool was closed, preventing Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi from changing their wagers.
• Lin Xin privately explained that Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi had each bet ten thousand merit points on the opposing squad, leaving Long Haochen surprised by their supposed support.

Long Haochen fought Old Fifth in a wagered arena match, steadily gaining the upper hand with his knight skills. Old Fifth then unleashed Berserk and summoned a powerful Metal Puppet, abruptly changing the fight.

• Long Haochen handled Old Fifth's attacks and gradually gained the advantage, surprising the Demon Hunters watching.
• Old Fifth activated Berserk and summoned a Metal Puppet, prompting Li Xin to protest that the tactic was shameless.

Long Haochen defeated Old Fifth and his Metal Puppet after summoning Haoyue, whose evolution gave it the strength of a Seventh-level Magic Beast. The match brought General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 a profit of 88,000 merit points and General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 22 an even larger haul.

• Lin Jialu and the other spectators reacted to Old Fifth using a Metal Puppet, while Ye Tian reassured the group that Long Haochen would win.

• Lin Xin tallied the betting pool and found that General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 had earned 88,000 merit points, while General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 22 had gained 231,500.

Ye Tian prepared General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21 to enter the Tower of Eternity after a period of rest and training. He used the Eternal Melody to teleport the group, and Wang Yuanyuan gained a trace of insight into space during the journey.

• Ye Tian told his companions to settle down and prepare for training in the Tower of Eternity.
• The squad spent half a month adjusting their condition while Ye Tian studied necromantic techniques and used the Eternal Melody to help Light Element cultivators train.
• After the six Pokémon left infancy, Ye Tian gathered the squad and began teleporting them with the Eternal Melody.
• The group endured the spatial pressure of the journey, and Wang Yuanyuan gained a trace of insight into her Space Attribute.

Ye Tian and the girls entered the Tower of Eternity, where the Eternal Melody protected them from its death aura. Cai'er began cultivating while Li Xin stepped forward to face the tower's trial, and Ye Tian discovered that her Rose Unicorn had reached the seventh level.

• Ye Tian shielded the girls from the Tower of Eternity's death aura with the Eternal Melody as they arrived in a cave surrounded by Vengeful Spirits.
