Summary: “Two Instruments Divine Mountain”

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• Su Yi’s motive is revealed: his cultivation is too weak to confront the Profound Nether God Court, so he seeks external help. He had borrowed the “Listening Truth Book” from the Night Watchman and, after leaving Chaos Blood Lake, heads toward the Nether Capital forbidden ground with You Xue and others.
• A mysterious Black-Clothed Man is revealed to have spent nine years slowly approaching a lone gravestone in a desolate world — a divine relic left by the last Netherworld Emperor. He is now only ten zhang away, having consumed most of his Reverse Life Divine Essence Pills to endure the suppression.
• At the Nether Capital forbidden ground, a massive evil spirit army traps a group of Emperors who came to investigate the upheaval. Overwhelmed, they retreat to Two Instruments Divine Mountain, which becomes their last refuge.
