Ning Duanyue learned that Su Hao had cleared the Sword Realm’s fourth trial and went to Golden Light Sect to challenge him to a swordsmanship duel. Zhang Xiao mistakenly accepted the challenge in Su Hao’s place, and the chapter left the two sides preparing to fight.

• Ning Duanyue summoned Shen Rulong and Ran Hongfeng, revealed he had mastered the Lesser Taiyi Sword Curse, and decided to challenge Su Hao to restore the Sword Sect’s prestige.

• Ning Duanyue mistook Zhang Xiao for Su Hao and demanded a swordsmanship contest, wagering that the loser would kneel at the other sect’s gate for ten years.
• Zhang Xiao revealed that he was not Su Hao, resisted Ning Duanyue’s sword intent without Spiritual Energy, and challenged him to kneel at Golden Light Sect if he lost.

Zhang Xiao defeated Ning Duanyue at the Golden Light Sect’s mountain gate, then damaged his Dao heart with his taunts, prompting Su Hao to reprimand him. As Su Hao returned from seclusion, Zhang Xiao recognized the white elephant as the Six-Tusked White Elephant, a Buddhist Sacred Beast said to have served a Buddha Venerate from the Upper Realm.

• Zhang Xiao overwhelmed Ning Duanyue with his sword intent and declared himself only a named disciple of Su Hao.

• The white elephant emerged from behind a tree and bantered with Su Hao as he headed back up the mountain.
• Zhang Xiao recognized the white elephant as the Six-Tusked White Elephant, a Buddhist Sacred Beast associated with a Buddha Venerate from the Upper Realm.

Su Hao and the Six-Tusked White Elephant argued over the cost of raising a Bodhi Tree Sapling that grew beside the Wutong Tree. A year later, the sapling was thriving, while a scorching aura surged from Su Hao’s cave abode and Little Cai was missing inside a blood sphere.

• The White Elephant boasted about its status and asked Su Hao for a golden palace and servants, but Su Hao refused and returned to his cave abode.
• The White Elephant secretly planted a Bodhi Tree Root beside the Wutong Tree, and it sprouted after draining Immortal Qi from the surroundings.

• After a year, Su Hao learned the sapling was a Bodhi Tree but showed little interest in it, while the White Elephant vowed to keep paying for it.
• A scorching aura erupted from Su Hao’s cave abode, where Little Cai had disappeared and a human figure was visible inside a huge translucent blood sphere.

Little Cai emerged from her transformation with nearly half Dragon blood and learned that the Dragon Clan’s hierarchy would make her a low-ranking Flood Dragon if she sought its recognition. A year later, she mastered the Dragon Marsh Incense Divine Ability and descended the mountain with Little Jin and White Elephant to aid people, while Su Hao remained in seclusion and comprehended the final profundity of the Kunwu One Qi Sword Scripture.

• After Little Cai’s blood sphere cracked, she emerged as a Nascent Soul Early Stage Five-Colored Flood Dragon with 49.99% Dragon blood and a horn on her forehead.
• Little Cai explained that mixed-blood dragons had to pass the Dragon Palace’s tests and would remain low-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, so Su Hao urged her to cultivate with him instead of seeking their approval.
• Su Hao focused on cultivation and treated the Bodhi Sapling as a source of resources through White Elephant and the Tathagata Zen Sect.
• A year later, Little Cai told Su Hao she had mastered the Dragon Marsh Incense Divine Ability, which let her gather merit and incense and could eventually help her become a true dragon without visiting the Dragon Palace.
• Su Hao planted a Life Chasing Imprint on Little Cai and told her not to leave Golden Light Sect’s territory without permission; she descended the mountain with Little Jin, and White Elephant joined them.
• Three days later, Su Hao comprehended the final profundity of the Kunwu One Qi Sword Scripture.

After comprehending the Kunwu One Qi Sword Scripture, Su Hao gained the Barren Earth Soul and began drawing power from other cultivators of Kunwu secret tomes. He left Zhang Xiao unharmed, but Wu Ping'an remained protected from the drain, and the chapter ended with Zhang Xiao suspecting the sword scripture had bound his fate to Su Hao’s.

• Su Hao gained the Barren Earth Soul and sensed seven cultivators of Kunwu secret tomes, whose cultivation began flowing into him.
• Zhang Xiao resisted the drain, prompting Su Hao to stop taking his power, while Wu Xuanhao protected Wu Ping'an and explained that the first complete inheritor could control other secret tome cultivators.
• Su Hao stripped five cultivators of their power and advanced to the late stage of Void Refinement, but another force still protected the final cultivator.
• Su Hao concluded that the Kunwu secret tome concealed a dangerous master-servant power and spared Zhang Xiao because he was his named disciple.
• Zhang Xiao asked Su Hao about the attempted plunder, and Su Hao told him to keep cultivating and said his safety depended on Su Hao remaining safe.

Su Hao agreed to send Golden Light Sect disciples to help the plague-stricken Five Kingdoms and then went to rescue Little Cai and White Elephant from Jiao Jie’s plague array. He destroyed the array and confronted the poisonous Flood Dragon cultivator who had caused the disasters.

• Su Hao destroyed Jiao Jie's defenses and crushed his Primordial Spirit, then received a tracking mark from Jiao Jie's furious father.

After leaving Qin, Su Hao strengthened the Heavenly Wood Sword Essence while Little Cai and Little Jin built a following by aiding disaster victims across the Five Kingdoms. Lianjingzi tracked White Elephant to Golden Light Sect, where he noticed her arrival and warned Su Hao that someone was looking for him.

• Su Hao returned to Golden Light Sect and used two Star Stones to further empower the Heavenly Wood Sword Essence, while hoping the Flood Dragon Clan would come after him.
• Little Cai and Little Jin helped rebuild the Five Kingdoms and gained thousands of temples and many followers as the White Dragon Empress and Golden Dragon Empress.
• Lianjingzi found a village temple with a statue of White Elephant and heard that he had helped the two empresses defeat demons and aid the villagers.
• Lianjingzi reached Qin Capital, learned that the empresses were Golden Light Sect cultivators, and blamed the sect for manipulating faith and involving White Elephant in its schemes.
• At Phoenix Perch Mountain, White Elephant sensed Lianjingzi near the sect and called out to Su Hao that someone was looking for him.

Su Hao sent his Demonic Fiend Clone to confront Lianjingzi, a powerful Buddhist disciple who came to Phoenix Perch Mountain. After Lianjingzi attacked the clone for being a demon, it shattered her sword and defeated her, leaving her unconscious in Su Hao’s cave dwelling.

• Su Hao identified Lianjingzi at the mountain gate and decided to send his clone to meet her rather than kill her outright.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant warned Su Hao about the Tathagata Zen Sect’s strength and urged him to spare Lianjingzi.
• The Six-Tusked White Elephant recoiled from the Demonic Fiend Clone, and Su Hao explained that it was his own clone refined from a Netherworld Demonic Fiend Beast.
• Lianjingzi saw the clone’s demonic aura, declared humans and demons mortal enemies, and attacked with her Pure Karma Wisdom Lotus Sword.
• The Demonic Fiend Clone shattered Lianjingzi’s sword, broke through her defenses, and knocked her unconscious.
• Lianjingzi awoke in a cave dwelling on Phoenix Perch Mountain, where Su Hao had brought her.

Lianjingzi accused Su Hao of colluding with the Devil Race and causing disasters, but White Elephant confirmed Su Hao had helped save mortals. The discussion revealed that a Human Race Great Tribulation was approaching and that White Elephant had descended to the lower realm to help resist it, leaving him alarmed that Lianjingzi had disclosed the secret to Su Hao.

• Lianjingzi woke in the Golden Light Sect and questioned Su Hao about his resemblance to a Devil Race member and his demonic body.
• Lianjingzi accused Su Hao of refining Spirit Rhyme Life Nectar from human lives and engineering disasters, but Su Hao summoned White Elephant to verify the nectar's origin and the sect's relief efforts.
• White Elephant testified that Su Hao had seized the nectar from the venomous flood dragon and that they had spent two years saving people, prompting Lianjingzi to apologize for that accusation.
• Lianjingzi insisted Su Hao's cultivation would make him an ally of the Demon Realm and reminded White Elephant of his duty concerning the Human Race Great Tribulation.
• Su Hao asked whether White Elephant had descended to help resist the tribulation, and White Elephant admitted it before scolding Lianjingzi for revealing classified information.

Su Hao learned that a catastrophe threatened the mortal world and three hundred minor worlds, and that the Human King was expected to lead the clans against it. After White Elephant revealed that the Bodhi Tree roots had revived at Su Hao’s Golden Light Sect, Su Hao insisted that Lianjingzi stay rather than risk the Zen Sect learning the secret; she agreed once she discovered the sect’s Spiritual Energy was actually Immortal Qi.

• White Elephant told Su Hao that chaos would devour the mortal world and three hundred minor worlds, and said the Human King would lead the survivors when the catastrophe came.
• Su Hao wondered whether he could be the Human King, but Lianjingzi dismissed the idea because he cultivated a demonic body.
• White Elephant revealed that the Bodhi Tree roots had revived at the Golden Light Sect, and Su Hao argued that Lianjingzi could not return to the Zen Sect without exposing the secret.
• White Elephant urged Lianjingzi to stay and cultivate alongside Su Hao, while Su Hao told her she would have to pay a fee.
• Lianjingzi sensed the Immortal Qi rising from the ground and asked how much it would cost to stay.

Lianjingzi negotiated with Su Hao for permission to remain on Phoenix Perch Mountain, agreeing to rent a grotto abode at its foot rather than pay one Dao Pill each month. After discovering the Bodhi Tree sapling, she maintained that she would honor her agreement, though she relied on the Human King's fortune and powerful allies for protection.

• Lianjingzi balked at the cost of one Dao Pill per month, and White Elephant explained that he had spent the Zen Sect's stolen resources to revive the Bodhi Tree.
• Su Hao offered Lianjingzi a cheaper grotto abode at the mountain's foot or the option of becoming his disciple, but she rejected discipleship and accepted the grotto abode.
• Lianjingzi paid fifty thousand High-grade Spirit Stones in advance and agreed not to contact the Buddhist school without Su Hao's permission.
• Lianjingzi found Little Cai watering a Bodhi Tree sapling and examined it, while Little Cai wondered about Lianjingzi's relationship with Su Hao.
• White Elephant escorted Lianjingzi down the mountain and warned her not to contact the Zen Sect; she said she was not afraid of death and trusted her allies and the Human King's fortune to protect her.

Little Cai asked Su Hao to teach her the Dragon clan secret technique, and their cultivation together greatly improved her strength. White Elephant then claimed that the Buddhist Palace’s Joyful Zen Sacred Art surpassed their method and entered Su Hao’s meditation chamber to discuss it.

• After three months of aiding people across five mortal kingdoms, Little Cai returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain and told Su Hao that her divine ability had reached minor accomplishment.
• Su Hao tested Little Cai’s spells and encouraged her not to worry about keeping up with his strength.
• Little Cai asked Su Hao to try the Dragon clan secret technique with her, and they cultivated together for twenty days.
• Su Hao’s adapted Yin-Yang Harmonization Scroll helped Little Cai advance beyond Nascent Soul Middle Stage and condense a thread of Dragon Power.
• White Elephant told Little Jin that his physical form and cultivation path made dual cultivation unsuitable for him until he reached the tribulation-transcending stage.
• White Elephant entered Su Hao’s meditation chamber and said the Buddhist Palace’s Joyful Zen Sacred Art surpassed the method he and Little Cai had used.

The White Elephant bargained with Su Hao over the first volume of the Joyful Zen Sacred Art, hoping to draw him into the Buddhist Palace and enlist his help for the Human King. After studying the art, Su Hao considered how the coming great tribulation might offer an opportunity, while three hundred Flood Dragons advanced toward Tianyuan Continent.

• The White Elephant explained cultivation laws and fruit statuses, then urged Su Hao to prioritize the Joyful Zen Sacred Art over the Chaos Samsara True Scripture.
• The White Elephant admitted it wanted Su Hao to join the Buddhist Palace and help the Human King, but Su Hao refused to commit and negotiated for the sacred art in exchange for a thirty-percent increase in Immortal Qi.
• The White Elephant transmitted the first volume of the Joyful Zen Sacred Art to Su Hao and returned to find the Immortal Qi supply increased and the Bodhi Tree thriving.
• After studying the art for three days, Su Hao considered using the Jade Pool Heavenly Maiden and reasoned that the great tribulation might conceal an opportunity.
• Three hundred Flood Dragons emerged from the sea in northern Tianyuan Continent and flew toward the continent as a vast mass of dark clouds.

Su Hao confronted Jiao Yuxing and three hundred Demon Flood Dragons as they invaded Tianyuan Continent to avenge Jiao Xing. After Su Hao annihilated most of their forces and overwhelmed Jiao Yuxing with Phoenix True Fire, Jiao Yuxing’s father appeared and pleaded for his life.

• Jiao Yuxing led three hundred Demon Flood Dragons toward the Golden Light Sect, while Lin Daosheng and others wondered whether Su Hao would need their help.
• Su Hao waited outside the sect with his Demonic Fiend Clone, the Dragon Subduing Cauldron’s Artifact Spirit, and the Myriad Souls Pagoda as Jiao Yuxing confronted him.

• Jiao Yuxing attacked Su Hao with Dragon Flame, but Su Hao swallowed it and countered with Phoenix True Fire that overwhelmed Jiao Yuxing.
• Jiao Yuxing’s father appeared as a black dragon, weakened the Phoenix True Fire, and asked Su Hao to spare his son.

As Su Hao prepared to collect the spoils, Five Tribulation Loose Immortal True Person Gan Zi appeared and introduced himself as an old acquaintance of Golden Light Demon Lord.

• Jiao Yishou failed to extinguish the Phoenix True Fire and killed Jiao Yuxing after condemning him for bringing trouble upon the Flood Dragon Clan.
• Su Hao collected the Demon Flood Dragons’ souls into the Myriad Souls Pagoda while Jiao Yishou fawned over him and identified himself as the Flood Dragon Clan patriarch.

• The White Elephant and Lianjingzi separately concluded that Su Hao had ties to the Phoenix Clan and the upper realm.
• Su Hao sensed a concealed presence in the bamboo forest, and True Person Gan Zi appeared, identifying himself as a Five Tribulation Loose Immortal and an old acquaintance of Golden Light Demon Lord.

Su Hao learned that True Person Gan Zi was Tianyuan Continent’s Rogue Immortal guardian, then processed the Flood Dragon talents he had collected. He gained many cultivation resources and raised his comprehension probability to 73.8%, while Gan Zi’s unseen presence remained a concern.

• True Person Gan Zi explained that he had survived five Rogue Immortal Tribulations and guarded Tianyuan Continent under the Ancient Covenant of the Three Continents.
• Su Hao questioned Gan Zi’s role and whether he had been watching him, and Gan Zi claimed he had not spied on him and gave him a token to summon help.

• Su Hao devoured 282 purple Snake King bloodline talents, increasing his comprehension probability by 28.2% to 73.8% and generating ten Treasures of Destiny.

True Person Gan Zi suspected Su Hao was the Child of Heaven and Earth and planned to test him with the Profound Yellow Sword, while Pei Haichuan empowered the Three-Eyed Corpse King to attack Su Hao. Back at Golden Light Sect, Su Hao denied ties to the Phoenix Clan and began enhancing the Fuxi Heaven Concealment Array.

As the Three-Eyed Corpse King arrived to challenge him, True Person Gan Zi appeared to defend the Golden Light Sect.

• Su Hao used eight Star Stones to turn the Fuxi Heaven Concealment Array into an immortal array and tested its ability to conceal and move Phoenix Perch Mountain.
• The White Elephant and Lianjingzi noticed the mountain’s change, and the White Elephant guessed that Su Hao had obtained an immortal array.
