Wang Jixuan rejected Meng Jin’s attempt to obtain a method for purifying demonic energy, then weighed whether to intervene at Snow Mountain Base as Blade Beast Swarms approached.

Wang Jixuan waited as Old Sophie’s spirit slaves and the Blade Beasts fought underground, then prepared to seize the Pseudo Starry Sky Gate when Meng Jin’s group moved in. As a great demon began to emerge and Old Sophie’s power spiraled out of control, Wang Jixuan split his forces between delaying the demon and securing the gate.

• Wang Jixuan taught Wu Man, Ji Xiao, and the Buddha Hall Squad Buddhist scriptures to resist demonic energy and made Buddhist artifacts for the Half-Human Mechs.
• Old Sophie’s spirit slaves ambushed the King-Class Blade Beasts, but a Pseudo Starry Sky Gate opened and sent more Blade Beasts into the battle.

• Wang Jixuan ordered Wu Man’s group and Professor Shen to delay the demon, sent Ling Tong and Deep Sea to seize air superiority, and led the others with Number Five toward the Pseudo Starry Sky Gate.

Wang Jixuan’s allies lured a demonized person out of the underground war zone while his battle puppet used a nuclear bomb to destroy the Pseudo Stargate. With the gate dismantled and Old Sophie’s demonic energy source cut off, Wang Jixuan turned the puppet toward Meng Jin and the others.

• Number Five offered to smash open the ground, but Wang Jixuan hid their auras and waited for Old Sophie’s forces to wear down the Blade Beasts.
• Ji Yale and Zheng Shiduo provoked the demonized person into rising from underground, and Wu Man’s Buddha Hall Squad trapped and attacked him with a sword array.
• After Peony reported that the demonized person had been lured out and the demonic energy source cut off, Wang Jixuan sent his battle puppet underground with a portable nuclear bomb.
• The blast collapsed the underground cavity and forced the Pseudo Stargate out of subspace, after which the battle puppet destroyed the gate and collected valuable fragments.
• The battle puppet looked toward the passage where Meng Jin and the others were advancing through the demonic energy.

Wang Jixuan escaped the underground Blade Beast nest with valuable gains, then rushed to aid the Buddha Hall Squad as the Sixth Pillar’s forces awakened. After Number Five disabled Old Sophie’s demonized spirit slave and Wu Man’s squad defeated him, Wang Jixuan and the allied forces prepared to seal the demons at Snow Mountain.

• Wang Jixuan killed a wounded Sub-King Class Blade Beast, took its crystal core, and escaped while misleading the remaining Blade Beasts.

Ling Tong and Wang Jixuan prepared for the spread of the Black Energy while Meng Jin’s group hid underground and learned that the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner’s Core Circuit was now their objective. Wang Jixuan’s battle puppet entered the earth to search for the circuit and discovered Meng Jin’s group near the spire, accompanied by an SS-Class Advanced Spirit Slave.

• Ling Tong ordered her teams to keep their distance from the Black Energy and reported that Meng Jin’s group had disappeared from psionic detection.
• Wang Jixuan asked Peony to compare the people around Meng Jin with his earlier attackers, then learned that three had unfamiliar psionic signals.
• Meng Jin sheltered his group underground, and Elder Feng told them that Lord Number Two had ordered them to secure the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner’s Core Circuit before the Blade Beasts destroyed it.
• Meng Jin insisted they withdraw if the mission became too dangerous, while Elder Feng led the group toward a concealed area near the Fourth’s spire.
• Wang Jixuan sent his battle puppet into the earth while his allies guarded the entrance, and Number Five detected Meng Jin’s group near Old Sophie’s spire with an SS-Class Advanced Spirit Slave.

Wang Jixuan discovered that Old Sophie was turning into a blood demon and used a nuclear blast to draw Meng Jin’s group into a trap near the spire. Meng Jin and Elder Feng survived the explosion, while Wang Jixuan sent Number Five to seize the Core Circuit and prepared to fight.

• Wang Jixuan and Number Five approached Old Sophie’s spire, where he found dozens of powerful Spirit Slaves and Old Sophie being corrupted by blood energy and resentful souls.
• Wang Jixuan decided Old Sophie could become a dangerous blood demon, so he planned to use a portable Tactical Nuclear Bomb and arranged for D5 forces to draw Meng Jin’s group out.
• Meng Jin and Elder Feng watched the spire as Spirit Slaves fought Blade Beasts, then heard chanting as D5 forces began attacking the black energy with Drilling Missiles.
• Old Sophie erupted from the spire in a rage, and Meng Jin led his team toward the Stone Coffin after a nuclear blast weakened the area’s defenses.
• Elder Feng pulled Meng Jin and five subordinates away from Wang Jixuan’s second nuclear blast, while Wang Jixuan sent Number Five to seize the Core Circuit and summoned the surrounding demonic energy.

• Wang Jixuan's battle puppet ambushed Meng Jin as he fled the nuclear blast, using Asura Phantoms to wound him before Elder Feng drove the puppet back with powerful wind attacks.
• Wang Jixuan concealed himself in the rock strata and activated an Illusion Array, summoning resentful souls to disorient Elder Feng and the surviving Psionicists.
• Elder Feng gathered his people and tried to escape the array, but Wang Jixuan dropped a suitcase that he mistook for a nuclear bomb, then struck with a massive demonic sword attack.
• Meng Jin turned back to fight Wang Jixuan and was overwhelmed by a concentrated demonic sword assault, leaving him unconscious and gravely damaged.
• Wang Jixuan threw another suitcase before retreating, and its nuclear blast injured Elder Feng, who escaped underground with Meng Jin while their forces suffered heavy losses.
• After searching the aftermath, Wang Jixuan turned toward the spire to find Number Five and inspect the core circuit.

• Wang Jixuan observed Number Five and Old Sophie fighting, while Number Five revealed her Night form, sealed Old Sophie’s Psionic Energy Circuits, and nearly finished him.
• Old Sophie struck back with a blood-red beam, but Wang Jixuan’s battle puppet blocked it and took over the fight as Number Five repeatedly sealed Old Sophie’s circuits.
• Wang Jixuan battled Old Sophie with his full range of techniques until Old Sophie’s body fell and his soul emerged beneath a Coral Tree, wielding the Dark Red Flame and the souls of his spirit slaves.
• Wang Jixuan chanted Buddhist sutras with his battle puppet and the arriving Buddha Hall Squad, drawing the demonic energy away and consuming the Coral Tree while his Dragon Python Strange Soul weakened.
• Wang Jixuan approached Old Sophie’s remaining soul, identified himself as Wang Zheng with the Daoist title Ji Xuan, took the Dark Red Flame, and shattered the soul.

Wang Jixuan obtained the Dark Red Flame, which appeared to have chosen him as the host of the Spiritual Practitioner’s Core Circuit, and withdrew from the spire as the Blade Beast Tide arrived. After sleeping for ten hours, he woke to news that the Blade Beasts were mobilizing against D2 and that the Sixth Pillar Blade Beast’s awakening level had risen to 61%.

• Wang Jixuan found that the Dark Red Flame returned to his palm when Wu Man tried to take it, and the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner explained that the Core Circuit needed a new host to reopen the spire.

• Peony showed Wang Jixuan the latest reports, and he saw that the Sixth Pillar Blade Beast’s awakening level had reached 61% while the Ninth Pillar Blade Beast’s had reached 47%.

Wang Jixuan learned that the Sixth Pillar Blade Beast had reached 61% awakening and examined the Core Circuit, which he hoped to give to a trusted ally rather than fuse with himself. After restoring part of his battle puppet and helping Number Five recover, he discussed the Core Circuit with her, but she suddenly tried to force him to swallow it.

• Number Five explained that the Sixth Pillar was still in its awakening phase and that Galinno had likely roused the Main Force Blade Beast Swarm, while the Twelve Pillars should still have years before awakening.
• Wang Jixuan declined to support the D2 front and arranged to delay a meeting with an SS-Class member of the Naturalist Faction until he had recovered.
• On the flight home, Wang Jixuan accidentally unleashed a huge ring of fire while studying the Core Circuit and realized that using it himself would require a period of growth and could limit his cultivation, so he considered giving it to a trusted human ally.
• Wang Jixuan restored some of the Dragon Python Strange Soul’s strength, refined pills for Number Five, and asked her how to transfer the Core Circuit to another person.
• Number Five said the Core Circuit had already recognized Wang Jixuan and would not choose another human host unless he died; when she told him to swallow it, she suddenly struck the flame toward his mouth, but he dodged.

Gao Huating awoke with strange memories and a golden transformation, then caught Old Sophie's Core Circuit when it flew toward her. Her past-life self thanked Wang Jixuan and revealed that Gao Huating was the key to a treasure trove that could end the Blade Beast crisis, while Wang Jixuan cautiously examined the remaining flame.

• Gao Huating woke from a dream of a powerful woman and discovered that her reflection could take that woman's form, marked by a pale golden lotus on her forehead.
• Wang Jixuan's Dark Red Flame flew toward Gao Huating, who transformed and caught it; her past-life self appeared, destroyed the lingering memories, and thanked him.
• Gao Huating's past-life self called Wang Jixuan a Cultivator, said she had reincarnated successfully, and urged him to help her grow and face a powerful enemy.
• Wang Jixuan demanded an explanation from Number Five, who said Gao Huating was the key to a treasure trove that could resolve the Blade Beast crisis.
• Number Five explained that Number Six had found the treasure trove and released her circuit to reincarnate near it, while Wang Jixuan decided to examine the remaining flame carefully.

He then met He Qiongxue and Mai Qingting outside Fortress No. 76 and pressed He Qiongxue on whether the Naturalist Faction could be trusted and whether its Psionicists could resist the First, Second, and Third Spiritual Practitioners.

• Wang Jixuan gained an unexpected Dao Realm improvement while Ling Tong slept beside him, and the workshop staff joked about their absence.

• Wang Jixuan asked He Qiongxue how he could trust the Naturalist Faction and whether its Psionicists could defy orders from the first three Spiritual Practitioners.

After meeting with Teacher He, Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian planned how to strengthen D5 and prepare for the possible awakening of the Pillar-Class Blade Beast. Wang Jixuan committed to helping while pursuing cultivation, and ended the chapter preparing to guide Ling Tong through an Inner Heavenly Cycle.

• After Teacher He left, Wang Jixuan judged the Naturalist Faction too weak to rely on, though its philosophy was gentler than the Dominion Faction's.
• Fu Jian explained that the Pillar-Class Blade Beast might awaken soon, forcing D5 to choose between preparing for it and continuing its struggle with Psionic Capital.
• Wang Jixuan proposed using the next month to improve himself, strengthen frontline Psionicists, and work with Number Five to prevent the Pillar-Class Blade Beast from awakening.
• Number Five agreed to let Wang Jixuan enter her spire the next day to discuss helping her recover, while Fu Jian outlined D5's plans for either a last stand or an offensive against Psionic Capital.
• Back at Fortress No. 76, Wang Jixuan saw Ling Tong preparing for his return and decided to guide her Inner Heavenly Cycle rather than begin formal dual cultivation.

Ling Tong woke to find Wang Jixuan had left for the day, while he taught twenty-eight Psionicists new methods and traveled with Shen Qionglin into Number Five’s subspace. Wang Jixuan discovered the valuable ore lining Number Five’s vehicle and began treating her like an ally he could bargain with.

• Number Five showed Wang Jixuan and Shen Qionglin her spacious subspace, its alien creatures, and her floating vehicle while explaining the unrest on the planets she ruled.
• Wang Jixuan recognized that the vehicle was lined with Eight Desolations Starfall Gold and eagerly called Number Five a die-hard ally.

Wang Jixuan toured Number Five’s lavish Inheritance Tower and learned about her surviving Spirit Slaves and failing health. After diagnosing her injuries and promising he could heal her, he and Number Five agreed to exchange selected memories to build trust, though she realized their proposed shares were far from equal.

• Number Five showed Wang Jixuan and Shen Qionglin her Inheritance Tower, including its vast collection of Spirit Slaves and the four endangered SS-Class attendants she hoped to save.
• Number Five asked Wang Jixuan to help restore her strength so she could protect him and stop the awakening Pillar-Class Blade Beasts, and they negotiated a gradual exchange of memories.

Number Five showed Wang Jixuan and the others memories of the Blade Beast war and how six Spiritual Practitioners escaped to Earth, revealing that the Sixth Spiritual Practitioner believed Earth held the origin of all Core Circuits. After reviewing the memories, Wang Jixuan decided to help Number Five recover her strength, but she demanded that he show his own memories in return.

• Number Five demanded that Wang Jixuan show everyone his memories, leaving him unable to bluff his way out.
