• Fang Chen told Chi You to guard the Qingyang Realm and returned to the Glazed Sword Sect, where he confirmed he had killed the old bald donkey after recovering from severe injuries.

• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine shrank into a fist-sized black ball and settled affectionately in Fang Chen's palm, leaving Chen Xiaofei and the others stunned.

• Fang Chen explained that he had subdued the Chaos Demonic Star Vine years earlier and said it needed food and nurturing to strengthen the Glazed Sword Sect.
• Fang Chen took the starving vine from the Demon Cave into the Qingyang Realm, where the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm greeted him.

• Fang Chen accepted the name after Floating Star reacted happily, then asked the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm to find it a suitable home.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm led Fang Chen and Myna bird to a Rift Valley filled with Spiritual Qi and Stones threaded with Spirit Jade.

Fang Chen explored an abandoned Spirit Jade mine with the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, the Myna bird, and the Paper Crane, and learned that a powerful ancient civilization had left behind valuable ore. At the bottom of the Rift Valley, they discovered an enormous Diamond-Shaped Pyramid that the worm identified as a crashed warship.

• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm explained that the abandoned mine’s ore was considered low-grade by its original miners, and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine began devouring it.
• The worm told Fang Chen that a warship had crashed at the bottom of the valley, where intense Spatial Pressure kept it from approaching.
• Fang Chen led the group deeper into the Rift Valley to investigate the wreck and considered sending Uncle-Master Black Flame to mine the valuable Spirit Jade for the Glazed Sword Sect.
• The group encountered increasingly valuable ore, including Fourth-grade Spirit Jade, as the Spatial Pressure grew stronger.
• Fang Chen and his companions reached the bottom of the Rift Valley and saw an enormous Diamond-Shaped Pyramid.

Fang Chen and his companions discovered the wreckage of an ancient warship and learned that a powerful Compass inside it had caused the intense spatial pressure. After Paper Crane retrieved the Compass, they explored the empty wreckage and found it had no Dao Patterns at all.

• Fang Chen and his companions found a vast number of Seventh Grade Spirit Jades around the diamond-shaped warship wreckage and realized its Space Dao Patterns caused immense pressure nearby.
• Paper Crane flew into the wreckage, causing the Space Dao Patterns to scatter and the spatial pressure to subside.
• Paper Crane explained that she had stored an octagonal Compass from the pyramid's spatial core, but warned that she lacked the energy to put it away again if she brought it out.
• Fang Chen tucked the exhausted Paper Crane into his robe, then entered the wreckage with Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm.
• Fang Chen and his companions found the warship completely empty and noticed that it bore no Dao Patterns.

Fang Chen discovered that the pyramid warship wreck was made of extraordinarily durable metal and let the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and Chaos Demonic Star Vine devour it. After finding no other treasures inside, he called the two followers over, leaving what he wanted to do next unresolved.

• Fang Chen struck the warship hull with the Floating Immortal Sword, found the metal exceptionally hard, and absorbed energy from the impact.
• The myna bird proposed copying the wreck's structure for the Glazed Sword Sect, while Fang Chen judged that strengthening individual cultivators mattered more than building a fleet.
• The Chaos Demonic Star Vine began eating the hull, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm asked Fang Chen for permission to eat it too.
• Fang Chen allowed both followers to share the wreckage, and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm returned to its giant form and began chewing through the metal.
• Fang Chen searched the pyramid wreckage without finding unusual treasures, then called the two followers to stop eating and come to him.

Fang Chen branded Devouring God Imprints onto the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, greatly improving their ability to absorb energy. After they returned to eating the Pyramid wreckage, the Myna bird warned that imprints placed on him might come off with the Seal Formation Runes covering his body.

• Fang Chen branded Devouring God Imprints across the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm's body and Natal Inner Pearl, then tested the worm's devouring ability.
• The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm absorbed surrounding energy much faster, thanked Fang Chen, and returned to devouring the Pyramid wreckage.
• Fang Chen spent five days branding the Chaos Demonic Star Vine, which then flew to the Pyramid wreckage and began eating.
• The Myna bird praised the imprints but said they might come off his body with its Seal Formation Runes, prompting Fang Chen to stare at him sharply.

Fang Chen helped the myna bird use Devouring God Imprints to weaken the seals on his body, then returned to the Glazed Sword Sect to attempt to restore the Glazed Sword for his master, True Person Liuli. As he worked, Fang Chen discovered that the sword’s core Formation Runes surpassed the Saint Realm and that the Glazed Saint had likely reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

• Fang Chen branded Devouring God Imprints onto the myna bird, and the imprints began devouring the energy in his Sealing Formation Runes.
• Fang Chen and the myna bird left the Qingyang Realm and headed back to the Glazed Sword Sect so Fang Chen could try to restore the Glazed Sword.
• Fang Chen told the Black Flame Dao Lord of his plan, then examined the Glazed Sword and found that many Formation Runes were missing.
• Fang Chen carried the Glazed Sword to the Eighth Layer of the Demon Cave and began restoring it with the Heaven Mending Technique, the Four Sacred Flames, and metals from damaged Saint Weapons.
• Fang Chen found that the Glazed Sword’s core Formation Runes surpassed the Saint Realm and realized the Glazed Saint had likely been a Quasi-Emperor.

Fang Chen repaired the Glazed Sword enough to restore its power, though he could not mend its core Formation Runes. The Glazed Sword Sect celebrated its return, and Fang Chen called for a Sword Wielder to help deploy the Glazed Sword Array while he was away.

• Fang Chen discovered that Ancestor Glazed had reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm and realized he could not repair the Glazed Sword's core Formation Runes.

• Fang Chen proposed finding a Sword Wielder to wield the Glazed Sword and join the other Seven Great Main Peaks in deploying the Glazed Sword Array.

Fang Chen and the others activated the Glazed Sword to begin selecting a new Sword Wielder, and its Sword Intent triggered the Nine Rings of the Saint Bell across the sect. The chapter followed Elder Yun, Li Yanshan, and Wu Qingfeng as they gathered at Dog Head Ridge, whose status had risen greatly through Fang Chen’s influence.

• Fang Chen and the others activated the Glazed Sword on a mountaintop, sending a nine-colored beam into the clouds and unleashing powerful Sword Intent.
• The Glazed Sword’s power made swords tremble throughout the sect, and the Glazed Bell rang nine times to summon the disciples to nearby Squares.
• The disciples gathered and speculated about the powerful Sword Intent and the meaning of the Nine Rings of the Saint Bell.
• Elder Yun, Li Yanshan, and Wu Qingfeng appeared above Dog Head Ridge, now a major inner sect peak with a greatly expanded territory.
• Wu Qingfeng had used Dog Head Ridge’s resources to help former servants from Thousand Bamboo Ridge, while the Three Giants controlled who could join the peak.
