Luo Hong used the World Crystals as a pretext to draw Lin Yinping and her allies into a confrontation, then unleashed the Mulan Spirit Art Burning Heaven with Black Crow True Flame.

• Lin Yinping ordered her companions to retreat, but Luo Hong sensed that Little Gold had suffered a severe chest wound and teleported away with the cauldron using a Four Symbols Teleportation Talisman.

Luo Hong killed Mo Han, recovered the Silver Short Rod, and forced the Silver Fairy to reveal herself by threatening to cast her into the Void Shattering Deep Pit. After learning that she was the Sky Shattering Spear’s artifact spirit and that her master had been a Tribulation Stage cultivator, Luo Hong suggested she had forgotten her master’s name, prompting her to manifest.

Luo Hong questioned Silver Fairy about the Sky Shattering Spear and learned that the beast it had killed was a Five-Colored Peacock. Silver Fairy revealed that a Heavenly Heart Divine Tree in the Dark Domain could help him comprehend Silver Tadpole Script, but the fruit’s maturation could only be hastened with spiritual liquid from an Enlightenment Tea Tree.

• Silver Fairy admitted that she had only a wisp of remnant soul left and had forgotten the beast’s identity and how to comprehend Silver Tadpole Script.
• Luo Hong threatened Silver Fairy with Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, prompting her to identify the slain beast as a Five-Colored Peacock and explain that the Silver Tadpole Script could be comprehended through destined affinity.

• Silver Fairy explained that the tree could not be transplanted without moving the local laws and that only Enlightenment Tea Tree spiritual liquid could hasten its fruit’s maturation.

Luo Hong learned why Silver Fairy wanted the Sky Shattering Spear's head, then reunited with Yue Yun and the Zhong siblings, received the Five-Colored Stone, and heard a warning about cultivating the Innate Five Elements Body. As they traveled toward the middle layer of the Dark Domain, a powerful Three-Headed Black Python emerged from a Black Pool.

• Yin Qiao lured the Three-Headed Black Snake toward Luo Hong, and he sent Yue Yun and the Zhong siblings ahead before turning to face it.
• Yin Qiao introduced herself as a cultivator of the Taiyi Sect and offered Luo Hong a share of the treasure beneath the Black Pool as they joined forces.
• Yin Qiao used the Gold Flood Dragon Scissors to attack the snake, but its speed and tough scales prevented her from severing its head.
• The snake fired Black Lightning at Yin Qiao and Luo Hong, and she blocked it with the Two Forms Eight Trigrams Shield.
• Luo Hong redirected the Black Lightning with a Lightning Attraction Talisman, impressing Yin Qiao as he privately assessed her collection of powerful treasures.

Luo Hong and Yin Qiao joined forces to fight the Three-Headed Black Snake, using their treasures and abilities to weaken and restrain it. The chapter ended as Yin Qiao’s Black and White Twin Rings encircled the vital spots beneath the snake’s two remaining active heads, while Luo Hong prepared a powerful strike.

• The Three-Headed Black Snake swallowed Luo Hong’s Sea Suppressing Bead, but the Black Crow True Flame inside it burned the leftmost head and trapped the treasure within.
• The snake’s other two heads attacked Luo Hong and Yin Qiao with Black Blood Thunder Fire, but Yin Qiao’s Azure Lightning Balls disrupted the attack and helped them escape its suction.

• Yin Qiao’s rings vanished as the snake heads struck at them, then reappeared around the vital spots beneath the two active heads.

Luo Hong and Yin Qiao killed the Three-Headed Black Snake and divided its remains before entering the Black Pool to investigate the Ancient Spiritual Medicine it guarded. Yin Qiao revealed that the pool was a treasure ground recorded by the Taiyi Sect, and Luo Hong followed her beneath its lightless waters.

• Yin Qiao restrained two of the Three-Headed Black Snake's heads with her Black and White Twin Rings while Luo Hong prepared his Five-Colored Giant Ring.

• Yin Qiao plunged into the Black Pool, calling it a treasure ground recorded by Taiyi Sect seniors, and Luo Hong followed.

Luo Hong discovered a Taiyi Sect treasure ground filled with Ancient Spiritual Medicines and transplanted all the seedlings, leaving the mature plants to Yin Qiao. He then found that the clear pool held the Power of Time and learned from Silver Fairy that it concealed mysteries he could investigate with his spiritual eye.

• Luo Hong passed through a cyan barrier into an underwater chamber where he found a clear pool surrounded by more than thirty Ancient Spiritual Medicines.
• Yin Qiao offered Luo Hong three of the five mature plants if he let her keep the ten-thousand-year Worry-Dispelling Flower, but Luo Hong declined all the mature medicines and claimed the seedlings instead.
• Luo Hong used his control of Five Elements Spiritual Qi to transplant every seedling, while Yin Qiao began harvesting the Worry-Dispelling Flower.
• Luo Hong noticed that the Three-Headed Black Snake had not eaten the mature medicines and suspected the pool, rather than the plants, was the reason it cultivated there.

• Silver Fairy told Luo Hong to use his spiritual eye to examine the pool's hidden secrets.

Luo Hong discovered that Yin Qiao had been hiding the Waddling Yin Formation beneath the pool and entered its time-accelerating space with her. They agreed to cultivate separately there, with Yuan Yao guarding Luo Hong as he prepared to refine the Five-Colored Stone.

Luo Hong refined the Five-Colored Stone’s Innate Five Elements Qi, broke through to the Nascent Soul Mid-stage, and formed an Innate Five Elements Body. His breakthrough drained the Waddling Yin Formation of Spiritual Qi, forcing Yin Qiao to spend Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk to control the Worry-Dispelling Pill’s potent Medicinal Power.

• Luo Hong examined his transformed physical body and recognized the Innate Five Elements Body as his greatest gain from seclusion.

Luo Hong entered Yin Qiao’s Sea of Consciousness to kill the Outer Realm Sky Demon, but became trapped in an illusion caused by her Cultivation Method Backlash. After enduring forty-nine lifetimes and finally escaping, Luo Hong left Yin Qiao with healing pills, while she struggled to make sense of their shared experiences and the effect on her cultivation.

• Luo Hong killed the Outer Realm Sky Demon in Yin Qiao’s Sea of Consciousness with the Soul Annihilation Curse, but a surge of White Spirit Light trapped him in an illusion.

• Luo Hong endured forty-nine lifetimes in the illusion before escaping as Yin Qiao also awoke, weak and injured.
• Yin Qiao recognized Luo Hong’s true name from the memories of their lifetimes, and Luo Hong left her a bottle of healing pills before departing.
• Yin Qiao recalled that Luo Hong had killed her in every lifetime and tried to dismiss her feelings as an effect of the Worry-Dispelling Pill, knowing the experience could either advance or hinder her cultivation of the Supreme Heartless Art.

After consolidating his Nascent Soul Mid-stage cultivation, Luo Hong left to search for the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree, while righteous and demonic cultivators gathered near it and waited for Zhuo Bufan. The chapter ended with both sides preparing for a confrontation, as Lin Yinping’s group planned to force Zhuo Bufan to surrender the World Crystal.

• Luo Hong used the Great Five Elements Evasion to travel toward the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree and found Shrink Ground into Inches especially fast.
• Qiu Wuji, Sun Zhenyang, Ming Dongge, Lin Yinping, and other demonic cultivators gathered near the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree, suspecting the righteous faction was planning a move there.
• Lin Yinping told Jiang Cun that their group intended to wait for Zhuo Bufan and make him hand over the World Crystal.

Luo Hong tried to infiltrate the guarded Heavenly Heart Divine Tree after discovering the righteous and demonic cultivators had gathered around it. He evaded their searches but found a hidden formation and an Outer Realm Sky Demon watching the area, then began to deceive the demon’s perception.

• Wen Ke, Marquis Dushan, and Luo Panyang decided to guard the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree, believing the demonic path was targeting the Heavenly Heart Fruit.
• Luo Hong realized that ripening the fruit could draw a large group of Nascent Soul cultivators, but he still resolved to secure it so he could study the Silver Tadpole Script and the Golden Tower Jade Book.
• Luo Hong turned into mist and concealed his aura as he approached the tree, while Qiu Wuji briefly sensed something and attacked an empty patch of air.
• Luo Hong reached the tree and detected a concealed formation underground and an Outer Realm Sky Demon hidden in the air.
• Luo Hong identified the Heavenly Demon Banner’s purpose and used a fluctuation from his primordial spirit to fool the demon’s perception.

Luo Hong entered the formation protecting the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree and used Enlightenment Tea mixed into spirit wine to force its Heavenly Heart Fruit to ripen. As the fruit matured and released a bewildering fragrance, cultivators at the nearby mountain peaks noticed it, and Wen Ke turned toward the tree.

• Luo Hong used Yin Qiao's Clever-Character Jade Token to open the formation's life gate and reached the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree.
• Silver Fairy explained that the tree's flower would wither only when it began bearing fruit, and Luo Hong poured spirit wine mixed with Enlightenment Tree Spirit Liquid onto its roots.
• The Heavenly Heart Flower withered, and a Heavenly Heart Fruit began growing as Silver Fairy recognized the liquid's effect.
• Silver Runes surged up the tree as the fruit grew, releasing a fragrance that nearly drew Luo Hong into meditation.
• Marquis Dushan noticed the fragrance, and Luo Panyang and the righteous cultivators raised their guard before Wen Ke turned toward the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree.

The Heavenly Heart Fruit ripened, and Wen Ke’s formation and warnings provoked a battle between the righteous and devilish cultivators. While the fighting spread, Luo Hong claimed the fruit and rewarded the sentient Heavenly Heart Divine Tree with Soul Nurturing Pearls, leaving both sides to realize what had ripened.

• Wen Ke activated the Taiyi Dust Formation and, after the fruit’s fragrance spread, led the righteous cultivators toward the devilish camp.
• Qiu Wuji recognized that the Heavenly Heart Fruit was ripening and rallied the demon cultivators to fight the righteous path.
• Sun Zhenyang pressured Lin Yinping’s group to join the battle, while Lin Yinping signaled for them to avoid fighting in earnest.
• Luo Hong protected himself from the fruit’s spiritual wave, caught the ripened Heavenly Heart Fruit, and gave the Heavenly Heart Divine Tree three Soul Nurturing Pearls.
• The spiritual wave reached the battlefield, calmed the cultivators, and gave them insight; both sides realized the Heavenly Heart Fruit had ripened.

Luo Hong seized the Heavenly Heart Fruit, but Qiu Wuji and the gathered Righteous and Demonic cultivators blocked his escape and surrounded him. He identified himself as Zhuo Bufan and prepared to break the deadlock while the cultivators demanded answers.

• Wen Ke denied knowing how an intruder had entered the formation and secretly hoped Yin Qiao would escape with the Heavenly Heart Fruit.
• Qiu Wuji activated the Heavenly Demon Banner to disrupt space, but Luo Hong emerged from the formation and used the Body Immobilization Curse to silence it while Yuan Yao's Soul Burning Net sealed it.

• Luo Hong refused to hand over Little Gold and the Heavenly Heart Fruit, covered for Wen Ke, and identified Qiu Wuji as the Heavenly Demon Sect’s heir.
• Luo Hong charged toward Marquis Dushan and repelled the sword and saber attacks with the Calamity-Avoiding Golden Net, then passed unharmed through Five Elements Spells.
• Wen Ke’s Vajra Ring shattered Luo Hong’s Spirit Turtle Shield, and Luo Hong countered with Black Crow True Flame that burned Wen Ke.
• Luo Hong was forced back into the encirclement as the rival factions hesitated to attack, wary of one another and competing for Little Gold and the Heavenly Heart Fruit.
• Luo Hong revealed that his breakout had been a feint, threw out the charged Five-colored Treasure Pearl, and made every cultivator sense danger.
