Chapter Summaries

Su Yi identified the sword blank as a treasure made from Xuanwu Divine Wood and used the altars to suppress the rift’s blood-fiendish aura. He, Ning Sihua, and Mu Xi descended into the fissure and discovered an underground world, where a distant tide-like roar made Su Yi’s pupils contract.

• Su Yi deduced that the sword blank belonged to the expert who had arranged the one hundred and eight altars, then collected nine formation flags and claimed the blank made from Xuanwu Divine Wood.
• Su Yi explained that the altars sealed an unknown power beneath the rift, and Mu Xi, Ning Sihua, and the others considered the possibility that the Yin Sha Sect had tried to break the seal.
• Su Yi warned Mu Xi and Ning Sihua about the dangers below, then used an altar to suppress the blood-fiendish aura before leading them into the rift.

• Su Yi, Ning Sihua, and Mu Xi descended about three thousand zhang and found an underground world of strange mountains, stone forests, and drifting crimson mist.
• Su Yi heard a distant, tide-like roar that seemed to come from an underground river, and his pupils abruptly contracted.

Su Yi, Ning Sihua, and Mu Xi discovered a spatial barrier beneath Blood Tucha Demon Mountain and found Zhong Yao, a masked woman, and a three-headed hound guarding a Dao Cocoon. After Su Yi explained how the cocoon could bring a soul incarnation across worlds, the masked woman unleashed a swarm of evil ghosts to stop him.

• Su Yi followed the spatial fluctuations with Ning Sihua and Mu Xi to a thousand-zhang blood-colored vortex beneath Blood Tucha Demon Mountain.
• The trio found a Dao Platform beneath the vortex, where Zhong Yao stood with a masked woman carrying a lotus lantern and a three-headed black dog.

• The Saintess raised her lantern and unleashed a vast army of evil ghosts toward Su Yi, Ning Sihua, and Mu Xi.

Su Yi used the forbidden formation to overwhelm the Saintess of the Yin Sha Sect and destroy the Dao Platform. The Dao Cocoon fell, leaving its fate unresolved as Ning Sihua and Mu Xi watched in shock.

• Su Yi drew on the forbidden formation to annihilate the Ghost Snake Clan’s summoned ghosts and counter the Bronze Mask woman’s blood-red barrier.

• Su Yi forced the Corpse Controlling Daoist toward the blood-colored vortex, but the Daoist tried to flee and Mu Xi killed him; the Bronze Mask woman died before revealing her secrets.
• Su Yi examined the Bronze Mask and realized that a powerful will had controlled the Yin Sha Sect’s Saintess, possibly from beyond the spatial barrier.
• Su Yi split open the Dao Cocoon, and the possessor inside Chen Zheng attacked him before offering Su Yi, Ning Sihua, and Mu Xi a chance to serve him.

He left the underground world with no new answers about Qing Wan’s origins, while the others waited above and reflected on the secrets of cultivation and their confidence in Su Yi.

• Su Yi used two Pure Yang Fire Peaches to begin cultivating the Furnace Nourishing Realm and awakened scarlet Spiritual Nature Dao Light that reached a hundred zhang.
• Su Yi examined Qing Wan’s Soul Jade, concluded it likely came from beyond the spatial barrier, and left the underground world after deciding Chen Zheng might learn more from the captured divine soul’s memories.

After breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, Su Yi accepted congratulatory gifts from Ning Sihua and Shen Jiusong but refused Pu Yi’s attempt to win his favor. He resealed the spatial barrier for five years, warning that cultivators from another world could otherwise bring Great Zhou into turmoil, and left everyone wondering what they wanted from the Azure Green Continent.
