• Feng Ling'er informed Ye Tian that all the required medicinal ingredients had been gathered, and he bought them at the Holy Alliance Grand Auction House.

• Li Xin and the others each took bottles of potion and rushed upstairs to test them.

Ye Tian explained the limits of the magical medicine refined from Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan magic crystals and remembered the valuable Crowns of Inheritance he had collected. He and Cai'er began testing the medicine in a bathtub, where their shy kissing ended when Cai'er bit Ye Tian for putting his hands where she did not want them.

• Cai'er asked Ye Tian whether the magical medicine could raise External Spiritual Power by a hundred thousand, and Ye Tian explained that it could add tens of thousands depending on each person's endurance.

Ye Tian and Marshal-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 65 cultivated for months using magical medicine made from a Ninth Order Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan magic crystal, greatly increasing their spiritual power. With the medicine no longer effective for the others but still benefiting Ye Tian, Cai'er proposed that the squad clear the first floor trials of the Tower of Eternity while he continued cultivating.

• Ye Tian, Sheng Cai'er, and the other members of Marshal-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 65 absorbed the magical medicine's effects through medicinal baths, while Ye Tian gained additional cultivation feedback from his companions.
• The squad spent months cultivating in the Tower of Eternity and medicinal baths, and Long Haochen later began using magic crystals to increase his External Spiritual Power, giving Ye Tian further feedback.
• After the first magic crystal was exhausted, Ye Tian's successive batches of magical medicine grew less effective, and the rear-line members withdrew from the baths before Cai'er, Li Xin, and Wang Yuanyuan also reached their limits.
• Ye Tian continued improving after the medicine stopped benefiting the others, prompting Meina to marvel at how monstrous the captain was.
• Cai'er suggested that the squad clear all the first-floor trials in the Tower of Eternity while Ye Tian continued cultivating, and the others eagerly agreed.

Ye Tian and Marshal-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 65 returned to the Tower of Eternity and challenged the red skeleton that had long blocked their path. Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan fought it together, forcing it back and opening a gap in its defense.

• The red skeleton answered with Asura Slash, but Li Xin's lightning attack blasted it back and exposed an opening in its defense.

Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan defeated the red skeleton, which pledged itself to Ye Tian and became a summon stored in the Eternal Melody. Ye Tian complained that he could summon only one skeleton, and the Eternal Melody began transmitting a new necromancer skill.

• Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan combined their attacks to break the red skeleton’s shield and shatter its right hand.
• The red skeleton rose, repaired its arm, bowed to Ye Tian and Cai’er, and declared itself Saint Guard Number Twelve.

• Ye Tian summoned the red skeleton for his companions, then sent it back into the Eternal Melody and praised its strength.
• Ye Tian complained that he could summon only one undead skeleton, and the Eternal Melody began sending soul power into his mind.

• Ye Tian accepted a strand of soul power and learned Necromantic Skeleton Summoning, which could create controllable Undead Skeletons from the dead.
• Ye Tian and his companions continued toward the end of the first floor, where a Blue Skeleton mage appeared from a pillar of light.

• Ye Tian used Holy Light Flame to dispel the freezing effects from Li Xin and Wang Yuanyuan, who recovered and discussed how dangerous Ice Magic could be.

After defeating the blue skeleton, Ye Tian and his companions learned that the Twelve Sacred Guards would regain strength as they advanced through the Tower of Eternity. They entered the second floor, where they discovered they had to fly to avoid falling back to the first floor.

• The blue skeleton announced itself as Sacred Guard Number Eleven and entered the Eternal Melody as a summon.
• The Tower of Eternity shook, and Ye Tian’s Eternal Melody dispelled the haze to reveal a statue of Electrolux, who explained the Sacred Guards’ role and warned that the defeated guards had been weakened.
• A pillar of light carried Ye Tian and his companions to the second floor of the Tower of Eternity.
• Ye Tian stopped Li Xin from stepping beyond the protective light, and she tested his warning by falling back to the first floor.
• Ye Tian and his companions released their spiritual energy wings and flew forward as Cai'er noted that the aura of death was weaker on the second floor.

Ye Tian had Marshal-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 65 fight the second-floor Undead Skeletons to train their aerial combat, since the unfamiliar style left most of them struggling. He assigned daily practice and restrictions for the team, then watched as they began training again.

• Ye Tian stayed behind while Cai'er led the team into the second floor’s aerial trial, where ten winged Undead Skeletons attacked them.

While Ye Tian and Marshal-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 65 continued growing stronger, A Bao struggled with his failure in Dream Paradise and met with his father, Demon God Emperor Fengxiu.

• A Bao vowed not to lose again, and Fengxiu let him leave while regarding Ye Tian as a target for A Bao to overcome and believing he could kill Ye Tian himself if needed.

After six months of training, Ye Tian and Marshal-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 65 had greatly increased their strength and accepted missions to hunt two Demon Gods they had fought before.

Ye Tian and the Demon Hunter Squad waited at the Moonlight Merchant Guild for its person in charge, but a newly appointed inspector arrived and accused the guild of colluding with the Demon Race.
