Xue Qinghe and Tang Yuehua learned that Xiao Yun had returned to Yunlai Tavern and planned to visit him the next day, each hoping to gain something from him. Unaware of their plans, Xiao Yun began teaching Zhu Zhuqing how to make better use of her Shadow Control Soul Skill, ending with a startling demonstration of how water could suffocate someone.

Xiao Yun and his war spirits entered the corrupted Spirit Spring Forest and set out to reach its core, where the Life Spirit Spring lay. After finding a dried-up waterway guarded by Demonized Creatures, Xiao Yun spotted an Abyssal Demon Seed and ordered Wind Empress and Qingxia to try to destroy it.

• Xiao Yun’s group found the Spirit Spring Forest transformed by abyssal corruption, and Xi Zhaoyue, Gonggong, Wind Empress, and Nuwa protected them from its hazards.
• Jingwei explained that nine waterways led upstream to the Life Spirit Spring at the forest’s core.
• Xiao Yun asked Gonggong to locate a waterway, and Gonggong led the group to a dry riverbed occupied by Demonized Creatures.
• Xuan Yinghua, Yang Jian, Gonggong, and Zixia fought the creatures while Xiao Yun noticed that some of them were guarding an Abyssal Demon Seed.
• Xiao Yun ordered Wind Empress and Qingxia to attack the seed, and Wind Empress used Feng Hou Bagua to keep the nearby creatures from sending word out.

Xiao Yun and his companions purified Abyssal Spore Seeds as they fought their way toward the core of Spirit Spring Forest. They destroyed a massive seed despite its resistance, freeing nearby demonized creatures and clearing their path onward.

• Qingxia killed the guards around an Abyssal Spore Seed, and Xiao Yun purified it, sensing the Abyssal Demon Seed at the Spring of Life in the forest core.
• Empress Nuwa Saint Zixuan recognized that the Spring of Life was still resisting corruption, and Xiao Yun led the team upstream to destroy more Abyssal Spore Seeds.
• The team purified four more seeds before meeting a much larger one defended by thousands of demonized creatures, so Xiao Yun ordered a full assault.
• Xiao Yun and the War Spirits used their ultimate skills to carve through the horde and reach the large seed.
• Xiao Yun purified the large Abyssal Spore Seed after five seconds, and the nearby demonized creatures regained their consciousness and fled.

After purifying the ninth Abyssal Spore Seed, Xiao Yun’s team reached the tenth node, where a vast colony of Demonized Army Ants guarded the core. Xiao Yun and Qingxia infiltrated the colony to purify the Ant Queen, and the chapter ended as Xiao Yun’s Purification Power struck her.

• Xiao Yun learned that the larger Abyssal Spore Seed had absorbed lower-level seeds, and its purification revealed springs that began restoring the riverbed.

• The Demonized Ant Queen detected their Wind Power and alerted the colony, so Xiao Yun charged at her while Qingxia blocked the Ant Kings.
• Xiao Yun resisted the Ant Queen’s Mental Attack with his Treasure Pagoda and unleashed Purification Power against her.

Xiao Yun purified the Demonized Ant Queen and her entire Army Ant colony, then joined forces with them to advance through the Spirit Spring Forest. The group reached the forest’s core region, where the Army Ant Queen warned that her ants could not go farther without risking renewed demonization.

• Xiao Yun purified the Demonized Ant Queen, and she ordered the Army Ants to stop attacking while Qingxia joined Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun and his War Spirits fought through the demons guarding the Lake of Life to stop the Pure World White Lotus from being corrupted. As the Abyssal Demonic Dragon activated a formation that weakened the War Spirits, Xiao Yun continued toward the lotus, protected by Saint Zixuan’s seven-colored shield.

• Xiao Yun led his War Spirits toward the Lake of Life, where five Abyssal Demons confronted them and revealed that the Pure World White Lotus was still resisting the Abyssal Demonic Lotus.
• Xiao Yun split the War Spirits into groups, sending Yang Jian, Gonggong, and the others to fight the five demons while he advanced with Saint Zixuan, Xi He, Qingxia, and Kinnara.
• Xiao Yun found the Pure World White Lotus near its final petals being demonized by a nine-headed Abyssal Demonic Dragon, while twelve Demon God Pillars formed a devouring formation around the lake.
• Saint Zixuan shielded the white lotus and told Xiao Yun that his Purification Power was its only hope, while the other War Spirits moved to hold off the dragon and suppress the demonic lotus.
• Xiao Yun broke through the dragon’s black water wall and pressed toward the lotus as his allies cleared the way, but the dragon activated its formation, weakening the War Spirits’ powers.
• Xiao Yun’s seven-colored shield remained intact as he continued toward the Pure World White Lotus.

Xiao Yun was struck into the Lake of Life, where he discovered the Conjoined Lotus’s roots and used his Purification Power to cleanse them. The lotus began recovering, and the girl within its roots urged him to purify the lake before the stalk and the two lotuses above.

• The Abyssal Demonic Dragon knocked Xiao Yun into the Lake of Life and attacked the Pure World White Lotus and the War Spirits.
• The Abyssal Demonic Dragon believed the lotus’s corruption would open the Gate of the Abyss, but light appeared beneath the lake as its roots began to recover.
• Saint Zixuan recognized that Xiao Yun was purifying the Conjoined Lotus’s roots and realized the Ice Fire Taiji had helped him survive the demonic liquid.
• Xiao Yun discovered a fading girl inside the roots, broke free of demonic threads with his Purification Power, and cleansed the entire root system.
• The girl told Xiao Yun to purify the Abyssal Demonic Energy in the Lake of Life before cleansing the lotus stalk and the two Conjoined Lotuses.

Xiao Yun and the Particle Girl purified Spirit Spring Forest, weakening the Abyssal forces and allowing the War Spirits to defeat their enemies. After Xiao Yun collapsed from exhausting his power, the Particle Girl gave him the World-Destroying Black Lotus, sacrificing her chance at revival to save him.

• Xiao Yun purified the Lake of Life, freed the souls trapped in the Demon God Pillars, and helped Xi He destroy the Abyssal Demonic Dragon.
• Purification Power weakened the Abyssal Monsters across Spirit Spring Forest, and the War Spirits defeated them before heading to the Lake of Life.
• Xiao Yun continued purifying the forest despite the Particle Girl's warning, while she lent the Pure World White Lotus her remaining energy.
• After Xiao Yun fainted with much of his body transparent, the Particle Girl sent the World-Destroying Black Lotus into his Sea of Consciousness, giving up her final chance at revival.

Houtu revealed herself as Particle Girl and dissipated after entrusting the World-Destroying Black Lotus to Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun absorbed its Chaos Energy, reaching perfection in his Three Flowers and Five Elements lotuses, and learned from Saint Zixuan that Houtu had vanished.

• Saint Zixuan recognized Particle Girl as Empress Houtu, who reassured Gonggong that she had never blamed him for breaking Buzhou Mountain.
• Houtu rejected the chance to preserve her soul, and Gonggong vowed to guard the white lotus as Xi He and Chang'e salvaged some of Houtu's fading light.
• The World-Destroying Black Lotus took root in Xiao Yun's Sea of Consciousness, and its Chaos Energy tempered his lotuses and formed his Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
• Xiao Yun's Five Elements Divine Lotuses bloomed, his body shed a crystalline shell of impurities, and he opened his eyes after reaching Earth Immortal Perfection.
• Xiao Yun asked Saint Zixuan where Particle Girl was, and she told him that Houtu had dissipated after sealing the World-Destroying Black Lotus inside him.

Xiao Yun left Spirit Spring Forest after defeating the Abyssal Demonic Dragon, letting Gonggong stay to guard the Pure World White Lotus and gather supplies. Back at White Jade Capital, he cleared three Supreme Sword Domain chapters, then helped Zhu Zhuqing manage the strain of her Shadow Clones by teaching her about the Primordial Spirit Purple Lotus.

• Xiao Yun reached Earth Immortal Perfection, opened a golden treasure chest containing a Purple Two-star Void Breaking Set and War Spirit fragments, and agreed to let Gonggong remain with the Pure World White Lotus.
• Xiao Yun returned everyone to White Jade Capital, then cleared Chapters Eleven through Thirteen of the Supreme Sword Domain for treasure and cultivation rewards.
• After logging out and returning to his room, Xiao Yun found Zhu Zhuqing using Shadow Clones to cultivate, clean, and prepare breakfast.
• Zhu Zhuqing recalled her clones and suffered a rush of memories, so Xiao Yun projected the Primordial Spirit Purple Lotus into her Sea of Consciousness to ease the strain and explain its benefits.

Xiao Yun prepared to reopen Yunlai Inn with Zhu Zhuqing, then found Tang Yuehua waiting at his door in striking attire. Sensing that his unusually quickened heartbeat meant something was wrong, he shut the gate on her, leaving Tang Yuehua and Aunt Lin outside.

• Xiao Yun told Zhu Zhuqing he planned to reopen Yunlai Inn and listed the supplies they needed to buy.
• Zhu Zhuqing wrote down Xiao Yun's shopping instructions as he named suppliers and quantities.
• Tang Yuehua arrived at Yunlai Inn with Aunt Lin, and Xiao Yun was struck by her moon-themed appearance and presence.
• Xiao Yun sensed that his accelerated heartbeat was abnormal and shut the gate before Tang Yuehua could speak.
• Tang Yuehua motioned for Aunt Lin to knock again after Xiao Yun closed the door on them.

Tang Yuehua visited Xiao Yun at Yunlai Tavern to repay him for saving her and Aunt Lin, while Xiao Yun remained wary because she was Tang San’s relative. After Tang Yuehua offered him 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, Xiao Yun considered whether accepting the gift might bring further demands.

• Xiao Yun ignored Tang Yuehua’s repeated knocks until he opened the gate after she insisted that Aunt Lin keep knocking.
• Tang Yuehua explained that she had come to repay Xiao Yun for saving her and Aunt Lin, and used Moonlight Pavilion’s reputation and workers’ livelihoods to persuade him to let them inside.
• Xiao Yun admitted Tang Yuehua and Aunt Lin into Yunlai Tavern, then led them to a Quiet Room and called for Spirit Cat to serve tea.
• Zhu Zhuqing appeared from the shadows without using her Martial Soul or a soul skill, served tea, and vanished again, surprising Tang Yuehua and Aunt Lin.
• Tang Yuehua offered Xiao Yun a Heaven Dou Royal Bank Gold Card containing 10,000 Gold Soul Coins, and Xiao Yun weighed whether to accept it.

Xiao Yun rejected Tang Yuehua’s attempts to buy his cultivation method, citing his family’s rules, and left to meet a visitor from the Crown Prince’s Mansion. After he departed, Tang Yuehua decided she would marry him to become family and gain access to the method.

• Xiao Yun accepted Tang Yuehua’s Gold Card as repayment for saving her life but refused her offer of friendship.
• Tang Yuehua revealed she had witnessed and documented Xiao Yun using Green Lotus Sword Qi, then offered money, Profound Ice Marrow, and Moonlight Pavilion shares for his cultivation method.
• Xiao Yun refused to pass on his family’s cultivation art and left when Zhu Zhuqing reported that a maid from the Crown Prince’s Mansion requested an urgent audience.
• Aunt Lin proposed ways to obtain the method, but Tang Yuehua rejected them and said she would marry Xiao Yun to become part of his family.
• Aunt Lin was startled by Tang Yuehua’s plan and challenged her to explain why it was wrong.

Tang Yuehua resolved to pursue Xiao Yun’s cultivation method through a bold plan, while Xiao Yun received a request from Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to instruct the Heaven Dou Royal Team. He learned that Qin Ming and the former Shrek group had joined Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy.

• Tang Yuehua dismissed Aunt Lin’s objections to her age and status, deciding she would become Xiao Yun’s confidante if he would not marry her.
• Tang Yuehua rejected Aunt Lin’s suggestion to abduct Xiao Yun because his strength and abilities were unknown, then whispered a new plan to her.
• Xiao Yun met Xue Qianren, the Crown Prince’s personal female guard, and realized she was Qian Renxue in disguise as Xue Qinghe.
• Xue Qianren asked Xiao Yun to become the Heaven Dou Royal Team’s instructor at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
• Xue Qianren explained that Qin Ming and the released Shrek group had joined Blue Tyrant Advanced Spirit Master Academy, where Dai Mubai had also arrived.

Xiao Yun accepted the post of Heaven Dou Royal Team leader and introduced Xue Qianren to Tang Yuehua, whose meeting turned into a tense rivalry. After Xiao Yun served tea, he and both women began suffering from a strange drug that inflamed their desires, amplified by the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

• Xiao Yun agreed to become the Heaven Dou Royal Team's leader, and Xue Qianren said the Crown Prince would provide support.
• Xue Qianren asked Xiao Yun to introduce her to Tang Yuehua, and the two women exchanged pointed remarks about age, status, and their institutions.
• Xue Qianren gave Xiao Yun an invitation while Tang Yuehua displayed a fan bearing a Clear Sky Hammer pattern.
• Xiao Yun served tea, then felt abnormal heat surge through his meridians as the women also began showing signs of the drug's effects.
• Xiao Yun recognized that the World-Destroying Black Lotus was intensifying the drug's influence, while Xue Qianren and Tang Yuehua struggled to control themselves.
