• The aged expert ordered the Xuanling Domain’s Eighth Order Tribes to destroy the Rain Clan and promised a similar breakthrough opportunity to those who performed well.

Chen Fei learned that the Rain Clan’s new Ninth Order expert had prompted the Xuanling Domain’s races to prepare a siege, and the Xian Clan summoned Heaven Opening Realm cultivators to take missions against them. At Xian City’s Mission Hall, Chen Fei spotted the Mystic Light Pool among the rewards, while his recent cultivation had brought him closer to the Late Heaven Opening Realm.

• Chen Fei learned that the Ninth Order Races had historically crushed clans that tried to rise to their rank, then returned to Qiankun City rather than join the assault on the Rain Clan.

Gong Tianshu’s scheme with the Ji Clan unleashed the Heart Anomaly Realm’s Power across Xuanling Domain, trapping the Ninth Order Supreme Realm cultivators and forcing the other races to defend themselves. As Chen Fei returned to Qiankun City, the seven Eighth Order Tribes tried to contain the corruption while a sinister voice urged cultivators to become Heart Anomaly Vengeful Spirits.

The Rain Clan opened a lasting passage to the Heart Anomaly Realm, and Gong Bopeng revealed the Silent Life Art as a way to cultivate its power while preserving Spiritual Wisdom. As the Xuanling Domain’s clans struggled to contain the spread, Chen Fei warned Qiankun City not to practice the art while considering whether it might work for him.

• Zhang Shifang condemned Gong Bopeng’s belief that Heart Anomaly Vengeful Spirits could retain their Spiritual Wisdom, while the cultivators realized the Rain Clan had opened a passage that showed no sign of closing.
• Gong Bopeng distributed jade slips and displayed the Silent Life Art across the sky, claiming it would let cultivators become vengeful spirits, enter the Heart Anomaly Realm, and potentially reach the Supreme Realm.
• Zhang Shifang and the other Creation Realm experts attacked Gong Bopeng, but he vanished into Heart Anomaly Realm’s Power and gave them one hour to decide whether to accept the art.
• The Xuanling Domain’s experts considered attacking the Rain Clan but feared walking into a trap, so Zhang Shifang ordered them to reinforce the barrier and limit the spread of Heart Anomaly Power.
• Chen Fei warned Qiankun City not to cultivate the Silent Life Art, then wondered whether it might work for him.

Chen Fei tested whether his panel could reverse the Silent Life Art’s transformation of his foundation into Heart Anomaly Power, and confirmed that it could. With a new way to survive if the Xuanling Domain fell, he brought the Xuan Clan to Xian City, where the mission requirements had been lowered.

• Chen Fei used the Silent Life Art near the barrier and watched Heart Anomaly Power rapidly transform his foundation and begin to threaten his soul.
• Chen Fei activated a panel backup, shattered the polluted portion of his foundation, and used World Vital Energy and Mid-grade Spirit Crystals to restore it, proving the panel could reverse the pollution.
• Chen Fei decided he could transform into a Heart Anomaly Vengeful Spirit and recover if the Xuanling Domain became impossible to defend.

Chen Fei chose to hold the line, exchanged his reward for half a Mystic Light Stone, and shattered it after studying its structure.

• Shi Jianzhu outlined the Rain Clan threat and explained how clan-protecting formations and Rule Teleportation Formations could help the seven Eighth Order Tribes resist and reinforce one another.
• Shi Jianzhu distributed Mystic Light Stones and healing medicines, then offered cultivators thirty percent of a mission's reward in advance according to their cultivation level.
• The Heaven Opening Realm cultivators accepted either hold-the-line or killing missions, and Chen Fei chose a hold-the-line mission without revealing his Mid Heaven Opening Realm cultivation.
• Chen Fei exchanged his reward for half a Mystic Light Stone and returned to his courtyard before the Rain Clan army arrived.
• Chen Fei examined the Mystic Light Stone's structure with his divine soul, understood it, and shattered it.

• Shi Jianzhu shielded Xian City as darkness surrounded it, and a cold voice condemned its defenders for refusing their chance to surrender.
