• The Five Poison Beast used her Immortal Power to heal the poisoned people, and Xiao Xie replenished her strength so she could finish the task.
• Xiao Xie named the Five Poison Beast Hua Ying, and she happily accepted the name.
• Chonglou decided to travel to the Mortal Realm to find Fei Peng’s reincarnation, Jing Tian, and resume their unfinished battle.
• Chonglou arrived at the Demon Lock Tower, broke it open, and pulled the Magic Sword from the tower, mistaking it for Fei Peng’s Demon Suppression Sword.
• Xiao Xie saw demons escaping from the tower and decided to capture them before they could attack Yuzhou City.

Xiao Xie, disguised as Uchiha Madara, challenged Chonglou and led him away from Shu Mountain to fight. Their battle began in earnest, while Daoist Qingwei stayed behind to contain the nearly freed Heavenly Demon Emperor.

• Xiao Xie used the Purple-Gold Gourd to collect the demons that had escaped from the Demon Lock Tower, then introduced himself to Chonglou as Uchiha Madara.

• Long Kui recognized Jing Tian as Wang Xiong and embraced him, while Jing Tian protested to Xiao Xie that he had done nothing wrong.

Jing Tian traveled with Xu Changqing to Shu Mountain, then set out for the Celestial Realm to stop the Evil Sword Immortal; back at Yong’an Pawnshop, Xu Changqing sensed something unusual about Long Kui.

• Long Kui clung to Jing Tian, who did not recognize her, until Xiao Xie comforted her and Xu Changqing arrived to invite Jing Tian to Shu Mountain.

• Jing Tian and Xu Changqing returned to Yong'an Pawnshop, where Long Kui greeted Jing Tian and Xu Changqing’s enhanced cultivation made him sense that something was unusual about her.

Xiao Xie joined Jing Tian’s group on their search for the Five Spirit Pearls, intending to use the journey to find treasures and eventually defeat the Evil Sword Immortal. After Xiao Xie revealed Long Kui’s past to the group, Jing Tian recognized her as his younger sister, and they set off for Anning Village.

• Xiao Xie agreed to accompany Jing Tian’s group, and Jing Tian chose Mao Mao to travel with them while He Biping and Uncle Ding stayed to guard Yong'an Pawnshop.

• Xiao Xie returned the Magic Sword to Jing Tian, and the group flew toward Anning Village to find the Earth Spirit Pearl.
• Jing Tian challenged Xiao Xie and Xu Changqing to a race to Anning Village, and Xiao Xie proposed that the last to arrive pay for lodging.

Jing Tian, Xiao Xie, Xu Changqing, and their companions reached Anning Village, where the villagers had fled and Xu Changqing sensed Demon Qi. Following a fragrance to a perfume stall, Xiao Xie recognized its seller, Wan Yuzhi, as a fox demon.

• Xu Changqing agreed to join the race to Anning Village, and Xiao Xie quickly flew ahead on the Hidden Edge Sword.
• Jing Tian and Xu Changqing arrived half an hour later, with Mao Mao slowing Xu Changqing because he clung to him in fear.
• Xiao Xie said the villagers had run away after seeing him, while Xu Changqing warned that something unusual was happening in the village.
• Jing Tian and Mao Mao followed a pleasant fragrance, and Xiao Xie detected the scent of a fox and suspected Wan Yuzhi was nearby.
• The group found Wan Yuzhi selling perfume at a stall, and Xiao Xie saw through her disguise to identify her as a yellow-furred fox demon.

Xiao Xie helped Wan Yuzhi by buying all her spices and gave Long Kui a storage bracelet before the group sought lodging in Anning Village. At the largest inn, they learned it was closed because a guest had died mysteriously, leaving them wary of a possible demon.

• Xiao Xie bought Wan Yuzhi's spices for one hundred taels and explained that he wanted to help her pay for her gravely ill husband.
• Wan Yuzhi apologized for misunderstanding Xiao Xie, thanked him, and left after learning his name.
• Xiao Xie gave Long Kui the White Jade Bracelet as a place to store her belongings.
• Xu Changqing returned, and the group followed Jing Tian to the largest inn in Anning Village.
• The shopkeeper said the inn was full because a man had died there mysteriously, and Long Kui asked if demons were responsible.
• Jing Tian reassured Long Kui by pointing out that Xiao Xie and Xu Changqing were with them.

Xiao Xie killed five fox demons that tried to drain his Essence Qi while Xu Changqing searched Anning Village for the Earth Spirit Pearl. Jing Tian, Long Kui, and Mao Mao rushed into Xiao Xie's room after hearing the commotion and learned that the dead foxes had been demons.

• Xu Changqing left the inn alone to search for the Earth Spirit Pearl, trusting Xiao Xie to keep Jing Tian and the others safe.

• Xiao Xie reassured Long Kui that he was unharmed, and Jing Tian realized the foxes had been Fox Spirits.

After guarding Jing Tian and the others from demons in Anning Village, Xiao Xie sensed Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan and reflected on their doomed relationship. He recounted how the Three Sovereigns created the realms and how Fuxi established the gods’ rule over humanity, leaving the origins of the Six Realms explained.

• Xiao Xie burned the five Yellow-skinned Foxes and promised Jing Tian and the others he would keep watch.
• Xiao Xie sensed that Wan Yuzhi was the only nearby fox demon, and detected Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan in the village.
• Xiao Xie recalled how Pangu’s death gave rise to Fuxi, Shennong, and Nüwa, whose creations formed gods, beasts, and humans.
• Shennong’s death preceded Chi You’s war against humanity, and Xuan Yuan led the humans to defeat him.
• Chi You’s remnants entered another world and became demons, while Chonglou emerged from Chi You’s Essence Qi and battlefield baleful energy.
• Fuxi established a hierarchy in the Celestial Realm and declared that gods would rule over humans.

Xiao Xie reviewed the history of the gods and Nüwa, then reconsidered the Heavenly Emperor’s role in Evil Sword Immortal’s release. He suspected the Heavenly Emperor had deliberately let the disaster unfold so the other realms would depend on the Divine Realm.

• Fuxi ordered Nüwa to destroy rebellious humans, but she sided with them and helped save the survivors from the gods.
• Fuxi recalled the gods to the Celestial Realm and sealed its gates, while Nüwa left behind sacred artifacts and her descendants to protect humanity.
• Xiao Xie considered how cultivators feared that association with Nüwa’s descendants would jeopardize their chances of becoming gods.
• Xiao Xie reasoned that the Heavenly Emperor could have foreseen Evil Sword Immortal’s destruction but allowed Xu Changqing to release him.
• Xiao Xie suspected the Heavenly Emperor had let Evil Sword Immortal devastate five realms so the Divine Realm could strengthen its control over them.

Xiao Xie led Jing Tian, Xu Changqing, Long Kui, and Mao Mao toward Ancient Vine Forest to find the Earth Spirit Pearl. Meanwhile, Zi Xuan offered to save Wan Yuzhi’s husband in exchange for Wan Yuzhi’s heart, leaving Wan Yuzhi questioning whether to trust her.

• Zi Xuan appeared at Wan Yuzhi’s home and offered to save her unconscious husband in exchange for Wan Yuzhi’s heart.
