Chapter Summaries

Ye Bai tested substitutes for the Spirit Summoning Potion and discovered that adding Sunflower Honey greatly improved one version, strengthening the True Dragon Sword’s spirituality and refreshing him. He reassured Su Qingxian that Zhang Lingxue’s research was progressing and urged her to continue competing for deputy director.

• Ye Bai used Zhang Lingxue’s account to claim the Insect King’s Heart and reviewed her research into Sword Butterfly Eggs.
• Ye Bai prepared the original Spirit Summoning Potion and a substitute missing the unidentified 3 percent of ingredients; the substitute had only about 1 percent of the original potion’s effect.
• Ye Bai drank the weak substitute and found that it refreshed his mind, then added Sunflower Honey to make a purple potion.
• Ye Bai and the True Dragon Sword tested the honey-enhanced potion, which reached about half the original potion’s effectiveness and greatly increased the sword’s spiritual awareness without making it advance.
• Su Qingxian visited Zhang Lingxue, explained that she had signed a wager to protect her, and urged Ye Bai to bring honor to Flame Kingdom in the international youth cultivation competition.
• Ye Bai showed Su Qingxian the two substitute potions and assured her that Zhang Lingxue’s research had made progress.

Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue concealed their breakthrough in Sword Butterfly reproduction while Director Liang tried to disrupt their research by arranging for Ye Bai to supervise the College Entrance Examination. Ye Bai welcomed the assignment because it gave him a way into the Imperial Capital Secret Realm and closer to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, which the Myriad Changes Silkworm needed for its final transformation.

• Su Qingxian decided to defend Zhang Lingxue's position after Ye Bai showed confidence in their research and their substitute Spirit Summoning Potion.
• Director Liang learned of Ye Bai's research record and arranged to transfer him to College Entrance Examination duty, hoping to test whether Zhang Lingxue's experiment had truly advanced.
• Zhang Lingxue told Ye Bai she had identified the gene controlling Sword Butterfly reproduction, and she agreed that he should accept the assignment while she hid their progress.
• Ye Bai told Zhang Lingxue about his potions, including the substitute Spirit Summoning Potion made with the Sunflower Emperor's Flower Nectar.
• The Education Department assigned Ye Bai to the rescue team inside the Imperial Capital Secret Realm, and he borrowed the Paper Figure Kui's power to prepare to enter.

Ye Bai arranged for Paper Figure Kui to disguise herself while he entered the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, then visited Anbaotang and gave Master Jiang the Unconditional Love treasure he needed. The Ice Glass Dragon's egg hatched, and after a brief misunderstanding over the hatchling calling Ye Bai “Mommy,” Dragon Town Pillar took the little Glass Dragon away and asked Ye Bai to examine a cursed friend when he had time.

• Ye Bai asked Paper Figure Kui to create a lifelike clone to cover for his trip to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, and she gave him a paper butterfly talisman for emergencies.
• Master Jiang explained that he was protecting the pregnant Thunder White Tiger and needed Unconditional Love to help lift his Curse, so Ye Bai gave him the Heart-shaped Crystal he had in his Storage Space.
• Master Jiang told Ye Bai to receive Dragon Town Pillar and help deliver the Thunder White Tiger's cubs later, while Ye Bai went to check on the Glass Dragon Egg.
• The Glass Dragon Egg hatched, and the little Glass Dragon called Ye Bai “Mommy,” shocking the Ice Glass Dragon and making Dragon Town Pillar glare at him.
• Ye Bai explained that the Ice Glass Dragon was the hatchling's mother, and the two dragons reunited as the Ice Glass Dragon cried Glass Dragon Tears.
• Dragon Town Pillar left with the recovered little Glass Dragon after asking Ye Bai to examine a cursed friend, and Ye Bai said he would reserve his next contract slot for Da Hui.

Ye Bai prepared for the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm and learned that Emperor Flow Sap would appear there in five days. Meanwhile, the Hidden Dragon Auction House announced an auction of the Blood Saint Son's inheritance, forcing the Resurrection Society to mobilize to reclaim it.

• Ye Bai studied the Five Elements Butterfly and learned that Emperor Flow Sap could help the Sunflower Emperor break through to the Fifth Order.

• Elder Feng and the other elders agreed to obtain invitations to the auction and reclaim the inheritance for the Resurrection Society.

Ye Bai entered the Secret Realm as an examination security inspector, then used a Paper Man disguise to secretly travel toward the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm. After camping overnight, he unexpectedly encountered Li Chen and warned him to keep their meeting secret.

• Yin Tiger learned that Ye Bai had been reassigned from reviewing surveillance to security work, but decided not to interfere unless Ye Bai was in danger.
• Ye Bai entered the Secret Realm, sent a Paper Man double to cover his assigned inspection area, and disguised himself as a student before setting out with the Storm Fang Wolf.
• Ye Bai traveled through the rainforest for a day, hoping to reach the collapsed Jian Mu and claim some Emperor Flow Sap in the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.
• Ye Bai and the Storm Fang Wolf camped beside a stream and grilled fish when the King of Fighters Rabbit leaped into their camp, followed by Li Chen.
• Ye Bai blocked Li Chen's signal, told him to pretend they had not met, and asked why he had come to Imperial Capital instead of taking the examination in Jiaying City.

Ye Bai reached the remains of Jian Mu and discovered that its aura could overwhelm Wood Element pet beasts and turn them into puppets. After Sunflower Emperor and Mandala Grass Emperor encountered Jian Mu’s memories, Mandala Grass Emperor warned that the lush land was full of Jian Mu’s marked Life Essence.

• Li Chen told Ye Bai that his talent might have awakened a second time and could affect King of Fighters Rabbit, and Ye Bai encouraged him to keep training for the frontier.
• Ye Bai advised Li Chen that King of Fighters Rabbit was close to evolving and Fighting Pupa needed adequate nutrition, then departed after warning Li Chen to keep their meeting secret.
• Ye Bai arrived at Jian Mu’s remains and called out Sunflower Emperor to find a way into the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.
• Sunflower Emperor touched the land, experienced Jian Mu’s memories, and nearly lost its sense of self before Ye Bai restored its connection.
• Ye Bai summoned Mandala Grass Emperor, which sensed Jian Mu’s aura and warned that Wood Element pet beasts could be assimilated by the tree through its marked Life Essence.

Ye Bai and the Sunflower Emperor followed the Mandala Grass Emperor through Jian Mu, fighting off its Wood Element Strange Beasts and searching for a passage to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm. Meanwhile, Zhang Lingxue completed her Sword Butterfly research and prepared to become a seventh-rank Pet Beast Master, crediting Ye Bai for her progress.

• The Mandala Grass Emperor told Ye Bai that Drill Ants could lead into Jian Mu and that scorched patches marked their nests, then warned him that Jian Mu's Wood Element Strange Beasts could regenerate as long as its Life Essence remained.
• Ye Bai followed the Mandala Grass Emperor's clue to a scorched area, where the Storm Fang Wolf broke through into a Drill Ant tunnel and safely landed after using Wind Blade.
• Ye Bai summoned the Nether Wolf, whose Hellfire burned away Jian Mu's Vine Snakes and let the group travel onward while the Sunflower Emperor absorbed Jian Mu's Life Essence.
• Zhang Lingxue's Sword Spirit Bugs transformed into Sword Butterflies, and she began planning how to study their reproduction.
• Zhang Lingxue realized her Poison Dragon Butterfly was close to becoming a seventh-rank pet beast and credited Ye Bai's help in obtaining the Blood Pool with making her advancement possible.

Zhang Lingxue waited for the Sword Butterflies to reproduce while the Spirit Holy Son schemed to derail the Resurrection Society’s Trinity Plan. Meanwhile, Ye Bai found Jian Mu’s core, where the Sunflower Emperor advanced to Fifth Order and formed the prototype of a Sunflower Immortal.

• Zhang Lingxue’s task became waiting for each Sword Butterfly to lay more than two eggs before beginning the counterattack.
• The Spirit Holy Son learned that the Blood Saint Son’s inheritance had not returned to the Inheritance Blood Pool and planned to muddy the waters to stop the Trinity Plan.
• Ye Bai followed the Nether Wolf through Jian Mu and escaped a closing passage to find a golden lake at Jian Mu’s core.
• The Mandala Grass Emperor identified the lake’s liquid as Life Source Liquid and the black-and-white lotuses as Seventh Order Taiji Yin-Yang Lotuses, then rushed into the lake to absorb the liquid.
• The Sunflower Emperor absorbed Life Source Liquid, advanced to Fifth Order, and developed the prototype of a Sunflower Immortal.

Ye Bai gained a new Contract Slot by consuming the Yin-Yang Jade Lotus Root, then contracted Da Hui and let his pets absorb the Life Source Liquid. He threatened Jian Mu into opening a passage to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, unaware Jian Mu feared the Life Branch held by the Sunflower Emperor.

• Ye Bai’s Eye of Insight transformed after the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus bloomed, and he found a black-and-white Yin-Yang Jade Lotus Root beneath the lake.
• The Mandala Grass Emperor evolved into a Fifth Order Divine Farmer Ginseng, but the Sunflower Emperor beat Bai Luo into submission when it tried to rebel.
• Bai Luo identified the Yin-Yang Jade Lotus Root’s powers, and Ye Bai consumed it, lighting his sixth Contract Slot and allowing him to contract Da Hui.
• Ye Bai and his pets absorbed the Life Source Liquid, while the Sunflower Emperor grew a trace of root stem from its Life Branch.
• Bai Luo warned Ye Bai that taking the remaining Life Source Liquid would anger Jian Mu, so Ye Bai threatened Jian Mu and demanded passage to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.
• Jian Mu opened a Spatial Ripple to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm, though Ye Bai did not realize it feared the Life Branch in the Sunflower Emperor’s hand.

Ye Bai entered the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm through Jian Mu’s one-way passage and discovered a butterfly-filled paradise under Imperial Capital University’s protection. Zhang Dashan sensed an intruder and went to investigate, while a Fire Meteor struck Ye Bai and devastated the area around him.

• Ye Bai entered the Spatial Ripple alone, and Jian Mu hid itself in the void to avoid him.
• Su Qingxian told Zhang Dashan that her research into Five Elements Butterflies and Xiao Xue’s Spirit Summoning Potion had made progress, while Zhang said he might have to investigate the missing director of the Western Research Institute.
• Zhang Dashan received a signal that someone had entered the Secret Realm and vanished in black flames to confront the intruder.
• Ye Bai fell from the spatial passage, used Steelize to withstand the fall, and landed among flowers before drinking Life Source Liquid to heal himself.
• Ye Bai explored the butterfly-filled Secret Realm with the Space Pelican, then a gigantic Fire Meteor struck nearby and blasted him away, turning the surroundings into a living hell.

Ye Bai fought the newly freed Burning Demon, then narrowly escaped being killed by Zhang Dashan, who had mistaken him for an intruder in the Five Elements Secret Realm. Zhang Dashan recognized his grand-disciple and tried to pass off the near-fatal attack as a test.

• Burning Demon Aas attacked Ye Bai and his pet beasts, boasting that he would use the Secret Realm to invade Blue Star and harvest human souls.
• Ye Bai used the Sunflower Emperor’s Holy Light Illumination to weaken Aas, and Da Hui struck the fleeing demon with the Axe of the Thunder God.
• Zhang Dashan captured the wounded Aas with Hellfire, crushed the demon before Ye Bai could collect its body, and then attacked Ye Bai as he planned to eliminate everyone in the Secret Realm.
• Ye Bai used Space Transfer to escape Hellfire’s fist and called out to Zhang Dashan, who recognized him as his grand-disciple.
• Zhang Dashan claimed he had been testing Ye Bai’s strength, while Ye Bai privately doubted his excuse.

Ye Bai explained his unexpected arrival in the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm and warned Zhang Dashan that a demon had escaped from a seal. After the demon destroyed its soul rather than reveal the seal’s location, Zhang Dashan let Ye Bai remain in the realm and gave him a Boundary Breaking Talisman; the refreshed intelligence revealed the seal was in Butterfly Sacred Valley.

• Zhang Dashan confronted Ye Bai for entering the secret realm without inspection, and Ye Bai claimed a spatial ripple had brought him there before warning that a demon had escaped from a seal.
• Zhang Dashan extracted the demon’s soul and interrogated it, but the demon self-destructed before revealing where the seal was.
• Zhang Dashan consulted Su Qingxian, who advised him to let Ye Bai stay in the secret realm and leave through a Boundary Breaking Talisman.
• Zhang Dashan gave Ye Bai the talisman and a message bead, then hurried to the research institute to search for the seal.
• Ye Bai’s refreshed intelligence revealed that Butterfly Sacred Valley held a weakening Demon Seal, that Five Elements Crystal Stones could reinforce it, and that Emperor Flow Sap could evolve Five Elements Butterflies into Five Elements Sacred Butterflies.

Ye Bai encountered a swarm of predatory Two-winged Black Centipedes in the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm and used the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s appetite to persuade it to fight. Meanwhile, Zhang Lingxue successfully summoned Butterfly Robe using a Sword Butterfly Egg, and Ye Bai’s battle began when the centipedes pursued the Poison Dragon Butterfly Doppelganger.

• Su Qingxian urged Zhang Dashan to report the demon invasion, but Zhang Dashan said he needed evidence and planned to investigate the seal while warning the guards at the Secret Realm entrance.
• Zhang Lingxue used liquid from a Sword Butterfly Egg to summon Butterfly Robe, a butterfly-type Strange Beast that specialized in barriers and resisted mental attacks.
• Ye Bai saw Two-winged Black Centipedes devouring butterfly-type Strange Beasts and summoned the Myriad Changes Silkworm to fight them.
• Ye Bai tempted the reluctant Myriad Changes Silkworm with the promise of cooked centipedes, then ordered it to create Doppelgangers of three butterfly-type Strange Beasts.
• The Poison Dragon Butterfly Doppelganger drew the centipedes away, and Ye Bai told the Myriad Changes Silkworm to lead them around the forest.

Ye Bai and his pet beasts defeated Two-winged Black Centipedes, cooked them, and ate before Myriad Changes Silkworm led them toward Butterfly Sacred Valley. Meanwhile, Su Qingxian discovered that Five Elements Butterfly eggs hatched into Thousand Changes Silkworms, while she and Zhang Dashan searched for the Demon Seal and worried about a possible threat.

• Ye Bai had Myriad Changes Silkworm transform into a Lightning Butterfly to help Poison Dragon Butterfly defeat the Two-winged Black Centipedes.
• Ye Bai and his pet beasts boiled and fried the centipedes, then ate the meal together.
• Ye Bai rode Space Pelican while Myriad Changes Silkworm followed a faint call toward Butterfly Sacred Valley, and Ye Bai considered whether its Doppelgangers could evolve into Five Elements Butterflies.
• Su Qingxian watched the Five Elements Butterfly eggs hatch into silkworms and realized they were Thousand Changes Silkworms, not ordinary Chameleon Silkworms.
• Zhang Dashan told Su Qingxian he had not found the Demon Seal but had placed Hellfire Doppelgangers around the Secret Realm to detect demons.
• Su Qingxian said she might need Xiao Xue and Ye Bai's help with her research.

Ye Bai and the Myriad Changes Silkworm entered Butterfly Valley, where the Silkworm defeated five elemental butterfly guardians and collected their crystal cores. At the altar in Butterfly Sacred Valley, Ye Bai sent its five-halo Doppelganger to undergo its final evolution, leaving the Five Elements Butterflies unsure which silkworm to choose.

• Su Qingxian told Zhang Dashan to search for the Demon Seal and prepare to evacuate the research institute if danger arose.
• Ye Bai entered Butterfly Valley with the Myriad Changes Silkworm and learned that defeating the Heavy Water Butterfly was the first step of an evolution trial.
• The Myriad Changes Silkworm defeated the Heavy Water Butterfly, and its Doppelganger blocked the Heavy Water Crystal Core so it would not evolve prematurely.
• The Myriad Changes Silkworm defeated the Blazing Fire, Geng Metal, Xun Wood, and Thick Earth Butterflies, gathering five crystal cores and five colored halos around its Doppelganger.
• Ye Bai found a Thousand Changes Silkworm undergoing its final transformation on the altar and sent his Doppelganger to the empty spot beside it.
• The Five Elements Butterflies hesitated when they saw that both silkworms possessed the origins of all five attributes.

Ye Bai witnessed the Doppelganger of Myriad Changes Silkworm evolve into a Five Elements Sacred Butterfly and discover its commanding power over Butterfly Sacred Valley. He then found the demon’s broken seal and alerted Zhang Dashan, while a Great Strength Demon planned to hunt humans.

• The Doppelganger of Myriad Changes Silkworm evolved into a Five Elements Butterfly, whose monarch pressure made the other Five Elements Butterflies submit.
• A Great Strength Demon emerged after breaking the weakened seal at the Gate of Hell and planned to hunt human souls before freeing more demons.
• Ye Bai spotted the demon and the seal with the Eye of Insight, then sent Zhang Dashan a message asking for help.
• Ye Bai ordered Myriad Changes Silkworm to draw an SOS in the sky with Li Fire, and Zhang Dashan recognized the signal over Butterfly Valley.

Ye Bai battled a Great Strength Demon in Butterfly Sacred Valley as the Emperor Flow Sap began to fall. While his pets and the Five Elements Butterflies gathered the precious liquid, the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s Five Elements Butterfly Doppelganger began its final evolution.

• Ye Bai identified the invading Great Strength Demon as a Peak Tier 6 demon and ordered the Myriad Changes Silkworm to lead the Five Elements Butterflies against it.
• The Five Elements Butterflies’ combined Li Fire burned the demon and enraged it, but its pursuit of the falling Emperor Flow Sap took priority.
• The Five Elements Butterflies bound the demon with rocks while Ye Bai’s Sunflower Emperor, Space Pelican, and other pets gathered Emperor Flow Sap.
• Ye Bai’s Pet Beast Space reopened, allowing him to release the Nether Wolf, True Dragon Spirit, Da Hui, and protective Paper Men to collect the sap.
• The Emperor Flow Sap strengthened Ye Bai’s pets and weapons, and the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s Five Elements Butterfly Doppelganger began its final evolution.

Ye Bai and Zhang Dashan sealed the demon gate in Butterfly Sacred Valley, then Ye Bai returned to the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm as the exam ended. New intelligence revealed several threats and opportunities awaiting him, including a Gate of Hell set to appear in Sifang City in three months.

• Hellfire crushed Great Strength Demon, and Zhang Dashan captured it with a Beast Card before finding the damaged seal gate.
• The Five Elements Sacred Butterfly and the Five Elements Butterflies restored the seal, drawing the escaping demon smoke back through the gate and shutting it.
• Zhang Dashan sent Ye Bai and Xiao Xue out of the secret realm so he could contact the authorities, while the Sunflower Emperor prepared to evacuate with collected resources.
• Zhang Lingxue confirmed that the Sword Butterfly had reproduced again, and Director Liang accepted that she had solved the reproduction problem.
• Ye Bai returned to the examination realm, learned that Li Chen and Gao Tu had reached the top hundred, and was teleported out when the exam ended.
• Ye Bai's refreshed intelligence revealed a coming Gate of Hell in Sifang City, a research competition prize, and a Lava Demon hidden in Dragon Valley Volcano.

Ye Bai learned that the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm would likely be sealed after he showed Zhang Lingxue footage of a demon escaping its seal, then joined her in reviewing research projects. He rushed to Anbaotang to help deliver a Thunder White Tiger’s premature twin cubs, but his attempt to cut through its tough hide failed.

• Ye Bai showed Zhang Lingxue footage of a Thousand Changes Silkworm evolving into a Five Elements Butterfly and warned that the Secret Realm’s demon seal made a visit too dangerous.
• Zhang Lingxue asked Ye Bai to help with her research projects, and he shared fried Two-winged Black Centipedes and their eggs with her.
• Zhang Lingxue mentioned a cursed friend, but Paper Figure Kui arrived and summoned Ye Bai to help the Thunder White Tiger, which had gone into premature labor with twins.
• Ye Bai used Da Hui’s Thunder Axe to absorb the Thunder White Tiger’s dangerous electricity while the Sunflower Emperor tried to put it to sleep.
• The Thunder White Tiger exposed its belly to Ye Bai, but the True Dragon Spirit’s sword could not cut through its hide.

Ye Bai and his companions entered the laboring Thunder White Tiger to deliver its eggs, but faced a swarm of fifth-order Lightning Snakes and found that the eggs were bound by rapidly regenerating blood vessels. The chapter ended with Ye Bai asking the Space Pelican for help as the electric currents made it dangerous to remain inside.

• Paper Figure Kui cut open the Thunder White Tiger's abdomen while the Sunflower Emperor soothed it with fragrant gas and absorbed its blood.
• Ye Bai, Master Jiang, Paper Figure Kui, the Sunflower Emperor, and Da Hui entered the Thunder White Tiger, where they encountered parasitic Lightning Snakes.
• The Sunflower Emperor and Paper Figure Kui defeated the Lightning Snakes as Ye Bai's group hurried to locate the uterus before the Thunder White Tiger and its offspring died.
• Ye Bai discovered that Space Transfer could not work near the uterus, so Paper Figure Kui opened it and revealed two differently sized eggs.
• Paper Figure Kui struggled to free the eggs because blood vessels rapidly regrew around them, and Ye Bai asked the Space Pelican for help.
